Chapter 122 The Long Journey

Half a month later, I went to Shanghai Railway Station.

Woo woo woo woo woo!

Boom Boom Boom Boom!

As the old steam locomotive whine sounded, thick black smoke continued to spray out, and the train finally started slowly.

Wang Yue sat next to the train window, watching the surrounding scenery retreating, and sighed in his heart: "This will be a long journey."

The trains in the 1930s were all old steam engine trains, and they were the first generation of trains in the world. They mainly used coal as the power and steam engine as the core. They boiled water through coal to turn water into steam, thereby pushing pistons and making the train run. Generally, the speed of steam trains is about 60 kilometers per hour.

Wang Yue took the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway train to Jinling, then transferred to Suzhou Pukou, took the Jinpu Railway train to Tanggu, replaced it with Jingshan Railway train to Yanjing, then took the Jingsui Railway train to Hohhot and Baotou, then crossed the border into Mongolia, crossed the entire Mongolia from south to north, and finally entered the Soviet Union. With the help of the Siberian Railway, it directly connected to Obluchiye, passed through the Three Kingdoms, spanned more than ten provinces, and exceeded 5,000 kilometers.

This is the land route that Wang Yue studied and prepared to open up. It has to be said that this route is too far away, but with the changes in the current situation, this route can ensure safety for at least a few years. Moreover, if Wang Yue can gain a foothold in Suiyuan and maintain friendly cooperation with the Soviet Union, then this route will remain unobstructed.

In fact, before the Japanese blockade of the Korean Sea and the Japanese Straits, it is the most convenient to choose to go to sea and land. Not only does it take faster time, but it also does not require so many transits in the middle, especially without crossing Mongolia. However, Wang Yue's choice was for the long-term consideration.

Half a month later, Wang Yue and the Soviet Union had already agreed, and there were people to respond to the border between Mongolia at any time. As long as they entered Mongolia, the Soviet Union military would escort the entire journey until Obluchiye, and Hu Le and others made proper arrangements in Suiyuan to wait for Wang Yue to arrive.

Five days later, the first batch of more than 500 people led by Wang Yue finally arrived in Baotou City, Suiyuan safely after several transfers.

"It's so cold, Boss Wang, are we here?" Qi Xuesong asked.

Qi Xuesong is a worker from a motorcycle repair shop. This time he took his family with him and was also one of the captains appointed by Wang Yue. He was a train for five consecutive days. He kept changing trains, especially as the journey progressed, the temperature gradually became colder. When he arrived in Baotou, it was almost zero, which made it difficult for this man going to Shanghai who rarely went out to adapt.

"Haha, Master Qi. If you are cold, put on the cotton jacket and coat you sent to you. We have walked about one-third of the journey when we get here." Wang Yue smiled.

"Ah, it's so far, isn't it just the Soviet-Russian border? Why is it so far?" Master Qi wondered.

"It's a little far away, just bear with it. Just wait, by the way. Master Qi quickly went to count the number of people in your team, gathered and went out together." Wang Yue ordered.

When Mao Pengyuan signed a contract with these recruited personnel, he still chose to make some reservations. The work location stated in the contract was the Sino-Soviet border. After all, if he said bluntly that he wanted to go to the enemy's rear area, it would probably be difficult to recruit people except for some passionate young people.

Of course, these people who are willing to sign a contract basically live a hard life and value the high salary. Although some people have jobs, their families have too heavy burdens. They cannot maintain a normal life, and of course they have also absorbed some passionate young people.

"Wow, it's so familiar. Dear Boss Wang, will we work here in the future?" Kalinikov also walked off the train, spitting out air conditioning, feeling extremely affectionate. After seeing Wang Yue, he chased him over and asked. This time, Wang Yue's first group of people included more than 200 Belarus.

"No, our itinerary has not reached the end yet. I hope Mr. Kalinikov can understand it. Please help me explain to you Russian friends." Wang Yue said helplessly. The itinerary is too far and there are too many intermediate links. In order to keep it confidential, Wang Yue had to conceal the end and destination.

"Okay, my boss, fortunately you have prepared enough vodka, otherwise, those alcoholics are likely to rebel, haha." Kalinikov smiled, then glanced at Rodre and left.

"This Belarusian alcoholic." Rodrei Shelfsky, who was standing next to Wang Yue, said angrily.

"Haha, I think you should be friends with both Soviet Russians." Wang Yue smiled and then shouted: "Captains, count the number of people quickly...

"Big brother, big brother."

When Wang Yue was asking several captains to start counting the number of people, Hu Le finally arrived with a team of people. When he saw Wang Yue from afar, he began to shout loudly.

"Haha, Hu Le, come here to help count the number of people, grandma, I'm really busy all the way...

More than an hour later, in a large manor.

"Chief, isn't the train going along comfortable?" Hu Le asked with concern.

"It's okay. You have worked hard for more than half a month. You have just arrived and have to arrange accommodation for so many people and have some connections. Isn't it easy?" Wang Yue asked.

"Haha, it's okay. Although some people are not familiar with the place, because Cong Zhonglei took me to Suiyuan for a trip, I ordered all the military and political officials in Suiyuan. It would be easier to clear the relationship." Hu Le smiled.

"Well, it's good, mature and steady. People just need to experience it. After more experience, they will naturally mature." Wang Yue patted Hu Le's shoulder and then said, "By the way, tell me, how can we reach the border area? It's more than 200 kilometers. It's probably not easy to deal with without railways?"

"Chief, it's actually not difficult to deal with. I have walked this road, mostly on the grassland, and there are many towns along the way. I plan to rent a large number of horses and carriages in two days and go there in batches. There are people who will meet along the way, and I have arranged all these." Hu Leyan said.

"Well, you can arrive at the border town of Tugeer Temple in batches. When you arrive at Tugeer Temple, gather again and wait until all the personnel are in place before you pass through the border together." Wang Yueyan said.

"Chief, more than 2,000 people have passed by together. The goal is too big. Although the border troops have all been managed, we cannot be too high-profile. In that case, it will be difficult for others to do it." Hu Le said.

"I'm afraid it can't be divided into batches. More than 2,000 people must pass through the border in a short time, because the Soviet military is waiting at the border. They will not come to welcome us to cross in batches. This is how you go and have a good chat with the border army. It doesn't matter if you spend more money. You must go there at one time." Wang Yue ordered.

"Okay." Hu Le said helplessly.

"I hope the heavens will be good, and don't snow before we leave Mongolia."

...

The next morning, Wang Yue led the first batch of people to set off again and began to go from Baotou city to the border. He rented a large number of horses and carriages more than 200 kilometers along the way. Finally, he arrived at the border town of Tugeer Temple two days later. In the next few days, several groups of people led by Mao Pengyuan, Xiao Shunzi, Tian Wa and Zheng Shuang finally arrived one after another.

"Rodre, what do you think? What do you think there?" Standing at the height of Tugel Temple, Wang Yue could already see Solankoll, a border town in Mongolia several miles away.

"Brother Wang, we are lucky. There is no heavy snow in Mongolia. The convoy arranged by the military is only a few miles away from the border town of Soroncole, and a team has been sent to the border to greet us. We can go there at any time, of course, as long as there is no problem with you." Rodre replied.

"Very good, I'll make some arrangements, let's set off right away." Wang Yue smiled and then returned to the temporary station. He asked Zheng Shuang to bring the Zheng family's people back to Shangshanghai on the same route, and asked Hu Le and Yue Xiaoshan, Huang Qianxiang to lead the original men and horses to stay in Suiyuan, and then took Mao Pengyuan and others to drive directly.

More than an hour later, with the help of the border troops, Wang Yue led more than 2,000 people to successfully pass the Sino-Mongol border and enter the Mongolian border town of Solankole. Not long after Wang Yue's troops arrived, they saw a huge car driving into the town.

"Brother Wang, this is the leader of the transport team of Lieutenant Colonel Montali Selovsky." Rodre brought the bearded man over and introduced him to Wang Yue.

"Hello, I am Wang Yue. Thank you for your help." Wang Yue said in standard Russian.

"Hello, this is what it should be."

Mongolia's difficult journey began, spanning Mongolia from south to north, with a total journey of nearly a thousand kilometers. There is no railway here, because Mongolia's first railway line will not be paved until 37 years, so this journey can only rely on cars provided by the military. Thanks to the generosity of the Soviet military, more than 100 trucks were transferred at one time. Of course, Wang Yue would pay enough rewards.

Walking all the way, even though Wang Yue has always enjoyed high-end treatment, sitting in the front of the car and rushing for three or four consecutive days makes Wang Yue feel like he is about to fall apart. You can imagine what kind of scene would be like for the southerner sitting in the cold car?

Four days later, more than 2,000 people finally crossed Mongolia, boarded the Siberian Railway, and began their final journey.

"Thank God, we finally don't have to take a car."

"Oh my God, it's so cold. Where are we going? Why are we starting to make trains again?"

...

The itinerary that has been in a row for more than ten days has made everyone feel extremely tired, especially some southerners, who are very uncomfortable with the cold weather. Many people have started to catch colds and fevers. Fortunately, Wang Yue has prepared many advanced Chinese and Western medicines brought by the Origin World, which has not caused everyone to get seriously ill during the journey.

Fortunately, the Siberian Railway was all the way, so there was no need to transfer the car halfway, and the carriage was not crowded, so you could lie down and sleep many times, which made everyone less worried. Two days and two nights later, the train finally arrived at the terminal, Obluchiye.

"Brother Wang, your factory is planned to be outside the east of the city, on a farm near Mount Dallas. Should we go there now or wait for dawn?" Rodrey asked.

"No, they are not workers. They are all talents I invited. It's right now. We are about to rush to Heijiang to cross the river. You go and help me contact your border guards. I will immediately ask the other shore to drive a boat to pick up people." Wang Yue ordered.

"Okay, as you wish," Rodrey replied.

"Misa helps me connect Zhou Xiong." Wang Yue immediately ordered in his mind. After it was connected quickly, Wang Yue laughed and said, "Zhou Xiong, I'm back, hurry up and send a boat across the river, hahaha."
