After knowing this random drawing, it may be a railway operation map. With this discovery, the others became obvious. Wu Peifu was an excellent officer and quickly determined the location of the Yangtze River. The winding blank in the middle was the Yangtze River. This mother river and the southern natural chasm that once played an important role in Chinese history have played an absolutely important role in military affairs. In addition, Beiyang regards the revolutionary party as an imaginary enemy. Before he can't deal with the northwest, killing the Kuomintang first became a natural choice. Every officer of the Beiyang Army will study the Jiangnan military map. Ironically, this Jiangnan military map was also from the northwest. It was added to the military surveying and mapping based on the map of the northwest.

In the current plan, the Yangtze River will have more than 12 railways passing by. Now, four railway bridges have been built, and they are intensively built in different places. According to Yang Yuanzhao's high standards, only about two-thirds of the construction of the bridge in two years has been built, exceeding 65 meters of the height of the bridge pier. It is not the first in the world, but it has reduced the speed of the bridge construction. The slow speed has made Yang Yuanzhao want to change it several times, but in the end he has to give up. In the future, after the economic takeoff and rise, the conditions for convenient transportation will be incomparable to any other channel.

The river-sea connection is tens of thousands of tons, or even more than tens of thousands of tons. The sea ships that meet the hydrological conditions of the Yangtze River can be directly traced to the inland China. This is a rare temptation. Shanghai, even in later generations, ranks among the world's top ports, has an annual throughput capacity of only hundreds of millions of tons. This number has used most of the coasts that can be used in Shanghai. Busy ports will inevitably bring efficient underground. However, if there are hundreds of ports along the river, different throughput will not only bring logistics arrangements, but also find another way to break through the restrictions of large ports. This is the most valued part of the Yangtze River.

Germany's artificially dug Kiel Canal, Suez in the Middle East, and Panama in the Americas are all prestigious in shipping. In the future, as long as China is unified, the convenient conditions along the Yangtze River coast and the linkage between rivers and seas will become another level of the peak of China's industrial development in the future. It will play an unimaginable role in the entire wealthy area in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

When choosing to settle in Baotou, it was the first city to come into contact with. The resources, location and geographical advantages of the northwest were finally allowed to settle here. However, it was different from the poor and prosperous places, and the development of the place with a foundation. This was the case in later generations. With the help of national support and the convenience of Hong Kong being separated by a river, Shenzhen developed from a fishing village to a modern city, but did not play a leading or representative role. When the economy developed to a certain period of time, Shanghai rose and radiated to the entire industrial belt in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River with Shanghai as the center. Even the Nanjing Bridge locked the possibility of a 10,000-ton ship being traversed, this industrial belt is also the most remarkable thing for China's economic development.

If it was not a 24-meter limit at that time. But now it was 65-meter, what kind of sparks would the Yangtze River, the most core industrial belt in southern China? At least, the industrial zone along the Yangtze River from Wuhan will become the focus of petrochemicals. Large tankers will unload cargo directly, convenient railway and highway water transportation conditions along the river, and close to the core of China, all of which will become a more brilliant miracle.

It was the price of blood that forced Yang Yuanzhao to be patient. Fortunately, although the south did not belong to the northwest, the northwest one could have the money to build a bridge on the Yangtze River, that is, the northwest, and would not do useless work. Now the left and right do not cross the river to fight, so it would only wait for another year. Yang Yuanzhao could still wait at this time. Now there are four railway and highway dual-purpose bridges that have begun to be established and designed, and the initial survey and planning work is also in progress.

The lines are railways, and those origins should be emerging railway hub provinces and cities. As a general, Wu Peifu has been to several nodes and feels that it has developed well and is a good source of wealth. That's all. He is a rough man who leads troops to fight. Speaking of military affairs, he has many wisdom, but in terms of economy, it is his absolute weakness. He has no sense of sensitivity at all, and he has not found the role of these nodes at all.

Wu Peifu restored the railway map more and more, and his confusion became bigger and bigger. This railway map was similar to the drawings of the Railway Department he saw before, and it was much simpler. The circles were just nodes on the railway. But does these things have anything to do with military affairs? Finally, Wu Peifu suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked actively: "Sir, I don't know what you asked me to see these things. Does this have anything to do with us?"

"Nothing, have you been to Shijiazhuang?" Yuan Shikai did not answer Wu Peifu's inquiry, but asked this question without any thought, which made Wu Peifu very surprised. Shijiazhuang is a node city south of Beijing. Several railway lines gather there. It is one of the emerging cities and is very prosperous. Of course Wu Peifu has been there. He also knew that what Wu Peifu said was not the old Shijiazhuang, and there was no highlight there. It was a new Shijiazhuang after the construction of the railway. It was about 17 square kilometers. The prosperity almost caught up with Beijing, with a population of about 510,000, and the population density per square kilometer reached 30,000, which is considered relatively large.

After briefly recounting his past experiences, Yuan Shikai asked casually, and it was just like this that the hammer and the hammer in the east made Wu Peifu see that it was different. It was obvious that Yuan Shikai did not pay attention to how prosperous Shijiazhuang was, how rich Shijiazhuang was, how much tax it could be received, and how much industrial and agricultural output value it generated. What he was more concerned about was the composition of Shijiazhuang, whether it was the size of the city or the city's buildings.

Wu Peifu really didn't notice this. Fortunately, Wu Peifu is a talented person. After Yuan Shikai's deliberate point, he slowly recalled many things. The prosperity of that city seemed to be just an appearance. What is really hidden under the appearance is cold steel and a solid fortress. The entire city is completely built with an integrated reinforced concrete structure. This seems to be the practice of the construction nodes in the northwest. It is always directly planned and formed on a clearing ground. When all the buildings are built, they are moved in, rather than gradually developing like other cities.

The new Shijiazhuang was built on a high hill near Shijiazhuang. Several railways crossed here, which could not be said to be a high ground, but any attacker must attack the new city, and its strategic position is very good. The city does not have city walls like the old-time cities, but when facing artillery, it may be a target. The huge city wall is easier than the densely packed small rooms everywhere. The old-fashioned clay wall, even if it encounters the explosive coffin of the Black Fire era, it may be blown. Referring to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement, once a city wall is broken, it will be an obvious breakthrough. The defenders on the city wall will die with the collapsed city wall, and in a short time, they will form empty forces.

Beiyang attaches importance to training. Taking Wu Peifu's town as an example, he has hundreds of ways to easily take it down in a city based on this, or concentrate artillery, attack the city wall, or attack the city gate, or, group charge, saturation attack, and the huge city wall will become the coffin of the defenders who are busy with their lives. If they are not careful, they will devour their lives.

But when Yuan Shikai proposed that if he took his own town and attacked only one-third of his defenders and had similar artillery equipment, Wu Peifu, who had never considered this issue, had his eyes lit up. Military issues were always much better than the previous speculations of the clouds and misty clouds. If he continued to think about it seriously, his brows became tighter and tighter, because Shijiazhuang, which looked prosperous and full of loopholes, had considered many military loopholes, and many superficial loopholes. If you really think about it seriously, it was really difficult to deal with it.

Shijiazhuang New City has no city walls, is it really low in defense? A city that seems to be unprepared is really not guarded? A mature soldier will never think so. He will defeat before winning and make the worst plan. It is always the quality that an excellent soldier should have.

Considering carefully, for modern troops, even if the city is concentrated with artillery, it is very difficult to destroy even if it is concentrated artillery. Wu Peifu recalled it faster and faster. With a clear understanding, he began to weigh in his heart that the defense method of this city was even more than the attack method he thought of, and finally got a result that shocked him. If there were 1,500-2,000 well-trained soldiers in the city, as well as some artillery and heavy weapons, he would carry a town under his command to attack forcibly. With at least 3 days, he would not be able to defeat this new city. The death rate of the defenders was much lower than that of him. He had to hold the determination to lose at least half of the personnel to capture such a seemingly weak new city.

"No!" Wu Peifu was shocked by his thoughts. This was just a small new city. A city with convenient transportation in all directions, which was not only prosperous, but also convenient to transport from all directions. Why did he have such a strong defense? After taking a closer look, his deduction was right. If the density of artillery and heavy weapons was higher, the training level of soldiers was higher, and the shells and bullets were enough, he might not be able to attack in one town. Are these problems for the northwest? Even the Beiyang imported a large amount of arms from the northwest. Will these nodes carefully prepared by the northwest have not been prepared?
