In the plan, when several railways from Baotou to Xinjiang and the central longitudinal line are built to the edge of the border, even if it is thousands of miles away, it will not take more than 3 days to dispatch troops from Baotou, or even slightly northward, almost a few hundred kilometers away, you can find the Siberian Railway. At that time, the plan for military operations and railway construction will take a two-pronged approach to control the Siberian Railway. The entire Siberia will achieve supreme results under the control of the northwest, laying a good spatial foundation for China's future population growth.

The harsh conditions in Siberia have made Russia not pay attention to it. At present, there is not much development. At most, among the cities along the two sides of the Siberian Railway, Russia has a small population. With the mobilization and immigration ability of the Northwest, as long as there is a chance, in one or two years, Siberia will immigrate 30 million or even more people, and then a huge, 7 million square kilometers of Siberia will become the pocket of the Northwest, and select some countries in Central Asia. At that time, a behemoth with more than 20 million on the road in Asia will become the foundation of China.

In at least a few hundred years, China does not have to worry about the lack of land area or the lack of resources. The huge and rarely visited Siberia will become China's best place and back garden. The strategic depth formed will allow China to have no worries and truly devote itself to the world's hegemony.

This plan was born because of the arrival of prisoners of war. After Yang Yuanzhao was slightly improved, it was submitted to the Northwest government, which was the possibility of cracking the soil and opening up the border. It immediately attracted everyone's attention, especially the military personnel. In this era, there was no national territorial sovereignty and sacredness. In this world full of dark jungle laws, strength is the reason, and power is the law. When you have the ability to defeat the other party, you can demand it from the other party. Land is only one of the key aspects, but it does not occupy the dominant aspects, but it is valued by China.

At present, China's territory and Mongolia have not been divided. In total, it is almost more than 11 million square kilometers of land. However, after swallowing Siberia and even recycling 1.5 million square kilometers of land, China is a major country with at least nearly 20 million square kilometers of land, and it will double its expansion at once. This requires long-term planning and careful planning, but the construction of railways is unstoppable, even without any interests.

A draft plan for the construction of the Western Railway was approved, and a large amount of advance preparations began, from basic raw materials to various railway tracks and building materials. When the huge machine started, the entire Northwest was preparing for all this. Industry, railways, military, and even agriculture, to prepare enough food and military supplies for possible future wars.

The Engineering Bureau of the Ministry of Railways, at this time, the Northwest Railway Engineering Bureau was no longer the same as before. Zhan Tianyou, plus some engineers who had just started to set up hastily, since the rise of the northwest, the railway occupied an extremely important position on the territory of the northwest. Before the economy took off, the railway had already been laid out in advance.

Now, all the engineers and personnel of the Northwest Railway Engineering Bureau have come out in actual combat. The entire China, the railway of more than 200,000 kilometers is built bit by bit by bit. The team with rich experience and full support have made the railway flowers bloom more and more brilliant in China, from south to north, from east to west, from day to night, and even the area of ​​the railway circle is gradually expanding. Now, a western railway network has been added to this system.

From Xinjiang, Qinghai, Ningxia, Gansu, Qinghai, these provinces, plus Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia, in Yang Yuanzhao's plan, every prefecture-level city needs to be connected to each other. From one prefecture-level city to another, two choices can be achieved with the most convenient transportation conditions, which is the best.

These requirements were directly issued to Zhan Tianyou, director of the Railway Construction Bureau. An unprecedented railway plan was launched. Unlike Yang Yuanzhao's previous routes, which reduced survey and inspection, this time, all of them needed to survey and map step by step.

Because this railway network was not on Yang Yuanzhao's railway highway map, he made it a sudden idea. Although China in later generations developed into the world's second largest economy, due to previous historical problems and the limited resources in his hands during the reform and opening up, it was impossible to hit all the resources into a system, and chose the eastern coast as the focus of development. This to a considerable extent, deliberately reduced the investment in the western region and caused historical problems.

After the 21st century, the country vigorously developed the western region and proposed the strategy of developing the western region, so that it gradually built the railway and highway network in the western region. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway, the railway with the highest altitude and the most difficult one, was built under such circumstances. There were even plans for railway networks in Xinjiang, Qinghai and other places, but these have not yet appeared on the railway and highway map.

Surveying the terrain and planning the railway. During the long-term railway construction in the past, the Railway Construction Bureau has become very familiar with it. A large number of personnel and appropriate tools are enough to make the railway quickly. According to the requirements, the general railway route was finally established. It took less than 3 months to make a basic plan, and the preliminary preparations have also begun.

A vigorous railway development appeared like this. Later generations regarded this railway plan and railway construction as the key to the rise of the west. The old, young, poor and poor areas in the past became a new growth point for China, especially a series of transformations. The west changed from the Gobi and deserts to a place with lush forests and suitable climates. A large number of people concentrated in the west, which not only reduced the pressure on Baotou New District, Shanxi and Shaanxi and Mongolia, but also made the population more suitable under the average population. The most important thing is that the ethnic minorities and separatist forces in these places are no longer in the climate. These have become the basis for China's pursuit of Siberia. After the stability of the west and the construction of the railway, it has become the most stable base camp.

After the incorporation of western provinces into the northwest, although the western provinces have not been developed for the time being, the preliminary survey and investigation work have been continued. The emergence of aircraft and aerial mapping have brought the accuracy of map manufacturing in the northwest to a higher level. Simple mineral maps and all-in-one aircraft have the powerful functions. Basically, mineral deposits within 500 meters underground cannot be concealed from the northwest survey.

Among them, there are super large-scale mineral deposits, or the era has not yet paid attention to, but are very useful in later generations. The northwest is temporarily marked and recorded. Whether it is developed in the future depends on whether the timing is suitable. After all, the resources on the earth are always used less and less. Of course, this only refers to the surface.

There is a view in the scientific community in later generations that it seems that every resource will not be too small, especially in the starry sky, countless stars have massive resources, platinum, diamonds, and golden asteroids. I don’t know how many. Even the earth itself can use is only a few kilometers of the surface of the earth. The maximum drilling depth is only 11 kilometers, but the diameter of the earth has reached 12,000 kilometers. It can be said that humans have only developed the fur of the earth.

Of course, even in the era of great technological development in later generations, the maximum drilling depth was only 11-12 kilometers, and even the mineral development in this area could not reach this depth, let alone this era. Perhaps after the Northwest led the world and concentrated leapfrog development, it might be possible to create greater miracles in a hundred years.

The preliminary preparations have been roughly completed because they are only intentional, and they will take into account many aspects such as geology, hydrology, and construction difficulty. Fortunately, the western part is vast and sparsely populated, and only a few places have a large population. The land acquisition work is not as complicated as the south. With the support of a large amount of data, Zhan Tianyou and others quickly formulated the construction plan for the western railway.

The first project was 20 railway plans. In the huge western provinces, seven horizontal and six vertical and 13 backbone railway networks were planned to connect important cities in the western provinces. The remaining were seven ring lines. Similar to Baotou, with the western city Xining as the core and Urumqi and Lanzhou as the outermost circle, a dense railway network was formed along the way, allowing at least two railways to be connected between important cities in the west. The density of this railway network was almost eliminated from the east. On the harsh Gobi Desert and desert, at least 38 high-standard roads were also matched. Once this plan was completed, the northwest would become a truly convenient area for transportation. The biggest problem that restricted the west in the past would no longer exist.

Transportation is always the most important thing to change the backward situation in a region. The reason why the United States took off is that on the one hand the unique political and economic environment of the United States, but on the other hand, the American Railway, which is full of Chinese corpses, is a key, and a railway that truly connects the east and west of the United States and takes off in full swing.
