According to legend, what does the largest, most beautiful and most developed city in China look like? The scenery outside the window interprets their doubts. When the night is about to come, a city belt with bright lights appears in front of them, colorful, beautiful and moving. The most important thing is that it is moving.

They have never experienced this era and the darkness of the night, and will never understand how they feel when the night comes, and some pictures have been popular in the world of later generations, which were taken with satellite clouds. The night landscape in the entire northern hemisphere of the earth is dotted with countless lights on a dark curtain like satin. The lights drive away the darkness of the night and bring the most beautiful light.

This seems to be the fundamental reason for distinguishing whether a region is developed. On the above, large developed cities and underdeveloped cities, cities and rural areas, and even some borders all appear clearly in the picture, and the same is true at night in the northwest.

As the region with the largest population density in the entire China and even the world, Baotou has a dense population of more than 30 million on more than a thousand square kilometers of land. This is just the permanent population, and there are almost 10-20 million migrant populations. The huge population density has long been the largest urban agglomeration in the world. Only in China can such a thing happen. The total population of a city exceeds that of most major countries in the world.

The city's light landscape has always been the focus of the northwest. Under the premise that there is no bottleneck in the power supply, the city lights for public purposes have always been guaranteed that only bright lights are the city's landscape. This has always been the unique scenery of the northwest city. This plenary meeting was held a little hurry, but it was still a city landscape specially created for the plenary meeting. It has become the city business card of the Baotou Special Zone.

In Baotou Special Zone, the Beiyang officers had heard of this name for a long time, but only after they really saw it, they understood the meaning of this name. When the construction of the big Baotou was built, a huge urban plan was established in Baotou, with a length and width of more than 50 kilometers and a huge 2,500 square kilometers of land reserved for Baotou. Next to it, there are 8 directions and different satellite cities. These cities form the Baotou urban agglomeration together. However, with the rapid expansion of Baotou, the distance between satellite cities and Baotou is less than 15 kilometers.

The distance of 15 kilometers in the past may have been the era of cold weapons. A marching journey of an army of more than 100,000 people in a day, from burying the pot in the morning to setting up a road, after marching all the way, maybe two or three hours later, they will find a place to set up camp. The average daily average of 30 miles, a thousand miles can already be called a long journey.

In the era of science and technology, industrial age, when the northwest fully mastered most of the world's technology, it was 15 kilometers. It was just a special train running at full speed, with a distance of less than 8 minutes, a bus 12 minutes, a car 15 minutes, and a bicycle for one hour, even if it was a rushing marching by the fast-resistance force, it was only one or two hours.

Since becoming the largest city in China and even the world, Baotou has expanded very rapidly every year, that is, during the period of industrial relocation and de-industrialization, the pace of expansion has slowed down slightly. In the past 1912 and 1913, the focus of Baotou's development was to optimize the original urban space and make the layout of the entire city more reasonable. Even so, Baotou's urban development pace was between 3.5-5 kilometers per year.

According to this number, even the most conservative estimate is that in the next 3-5 years, Baotou will accelerate its expansion. The eight satellite cities that have expanded will be included in the scope of Baotou. At that time, after the incorporation of eight satellite cities that can no longer be considered small, the space between the satellite cities and Baotou will be completely transformed from the original deserts, farmlands, and unmanned areas to a prosperous big city. Baotou is truly an unprecedented city.

New Baotou, which is about 110 kilometers in length and width, is close to 12,100 square kilometers, and will become the largest city in the world. The population will grow to an unimaginable level after the merger of 8 satellite cities. Now, 90% of the entire Baotou New District, of the 47 million permanent population and 34 million migrant population, will become a member of this city. In that case, a city with a population of more than 70 million will appear.

A population of 70 million is an unattainable number for many countries. With the two major camps of the current world war, the main body of the Allies, Britain, France and Russia, the main body of the alliance, Germany, Austro-Hungary, Turkey, Italy, among these countries, with a population of more than 70 million, there is only Russia. In the whole world, except China, the United States and Russia have only two countries with a population of more than 70 million. As for the total population of Britain and France, although it is as high as hundreds of millions, it is generally not used as a measure of national population.

The population of a country and the population of a city are not on the same order of magnitude, but Baotou can achieve it, from 50,000 people five or six years ago to tens of millions now, and 70 million in the future, Baotou is expanding at an unimaginable speed.

What the conductor said about entering Baotou was actually within the scope of Baotou New District. He thought it was the outer farmland, but after entering the new district, the surrounding lights kept changing, and the neat farmland on both sides of the railway disappeared. Instead, there were neat cities. Unlike the cities passing along the way, these cities had more skyscrapers, hurried pedestrians and denser traffic. When passing by several overpasses, they clearly saw endless flow of people and traffic, even at the same time.

I have to admire Baotou's operating level. This is the voice of all Beiyang people. Baotou has only shown military strength now. However, before it showed military strength, Baotou's economy has attracted the attention of the entire China and even the world. When Beiyang was once happy to dance for cement with a daily output of hundreds of tons, Baotou had reached the level of annual output of billions of tons. It is these basic materials, steel, concrete, cement, and these seemingly inconspicuous things that have built factories and node cities on the land of China, and a large network that unified China has been opened. An investment may exceed 10 billion yuan and is spread throughout China.

The three Beiyang heroes, many Yuan Shikai's confidants, looked out the window, the peaceful and peaceful city, and the endless crowds of people, and the plane in his heart was stirred up, especially Duan Qirui, who clenched his fists and had a slightly hideous expression. If the Northwest was their backing, it would be great. If you want money, people, and guns, you should give guns. While this idea flashed through, it kept growing like weeds. You trained soldiers from a small station and got rid of the old image of a soldier. Beiyang was in the war, came into contact with modern warfare, took some detours, and also gave birth to a huge lesson. But in the end, it was discovered that modern warfare was the logistics and money.

A soldier in the company deals with tens of thousands of enemies is unimaginable in the era of cold weapons. Peasants hold simple farm tools in wars, without covering their bodies and eating without filling their stomachs, but they roll in, like locusts, and even elite troops will be swallowed up. However, in modern wars, this is almost impossible. As long as there are machine guns, a position environment that can be established, and nearly infinite bullets, the number of people coming only increases the number of people.

Some tough battles and classic battles are even fought when conditions are not met. If there are a few 203 guns and they are bombarded by him, everything will be flat. The difference is nothing more than a few shells. But it is this that restricts the development of the battle situation. Take the purchase price of Beiyang as an example. A 203 high-explosive bomb is priced at 550 yuan. This is the price of more than 40 rifles, and it is almost the price of a Maxim. If a few guns are shot at one base, the logistics officer will feel distressed, let alone 12 volleys and one base. These advanced artillery fire all the money.

Since the establishment of Beiyang, money has always been a big problem that has troubled Beiyang. Without money, the number of towns originally planned to be in Beiyang is shrinking. Without money, there is only one main town with a full entrusted population of nearly 20,000 people. The remaining 6 towns combined are only more than 50,000, which means that there are only three full entrusted towns a little more, including not obeying their commands, but finally the royal town.

After overthrowing the Qing Dynasty, it was a little better. With the support of the great powers, it began a difficult road to expand the army. It later clashed with the northwest and obtained supplies from the northwest, which made it even better. In just a few years, Beiyang developed from the original 7 towns to dozens of current ones. It should have been more proud and excited, but unexpectedly, the northwest developed faster.

The regretful mentality flashed almost inevitably in Duan Qirui's heart, but soon, he shook his head. This was impossible. Feng Yuxiang could abandon his identity as Beiyang and go to Baotou. He has now become the vice chairman of the Northwest Military Commission and the commander-in-chief. However, he was just a battalion commander at that time. Duan Qirui was already a qualified town commander. With such an identity, he really went to the northwest and northwest to accept it. Besides, Duan Qirui, who has been standing out since the training station, has been deeply imprinted with the seeds of Beiyang. This is impossible to clean it.

The same idea shone more or less in the hearts of the other two people, almost at the same time, and the three of them had the intention of retreating again. Since even the boss Yuan Shikai was about to get rid of his army and return to the field, they should go back to be an Anle. However, they were in their prime, and they were more or less reluctant. So what could they do if they were unwilling to accept it? As losers, they were able to save their lives. As for the rest, they did not have this extravagant hope.

Just as the three of them fell into deep thought and the carriage became quieter and quieter, a shocking voice broke the silence of the carriage: "So beautiful, it's a dragon, it can move!" (~^~)
