Rebirth of the Qing Empire

The most arduous task in the planning of building the Aihun area is long-distance transportation. It is too late to build railways now, so car transportation can only be used. Although there are no existing roads, the "Iron Horse" transport vehicle has inherited the superior off-road driving capabilities of the sx2300 military vehicle.

The Zhili and Mongolia areas that need to be passed through on the way from Shanxi to Heilongjiang are mostly temperate mountainous and grassland terrains, which are ideal road conditions for the "Iron Horse".

All the cars currently used by the military and civilian departments in Shanxi Province have been requisitioned, and all enterprises related to automobile and construction machinery production in Shanxi Province have their machines running non-stop. Workers take turns to work in day and night shifts, rushing to work day and night, and their improvement is doubled immediately.

In order to increase the production speed, newly produced wheeled cars and crawler construction machinery were added one after another. Along the way, the rumbling sound of cars attracted countless people watching the excitement, and the mighty Jin army officers and soldiers escorting them,

The unique military appearance made the people think they were seeing the legendary heavenly soldiers and generals!

All engineers from the Jin Army's standing army and internal guard troops were transferred to the Shanxi-Heilongjiang vehicle transportation line, and undertook the arduous task of urgently opening a simple road. They built the road while transporting, and set up simple supply stations along the road to provide transportation for passing vehicles.

Provides services such as refueling, maintenance, supplies, personnel rest and recuperation, and medical care.

As the first pioneers of the Shanxi-Heilongjiang transportation line, Kang Fan and some officers and soldiers of the guard battalion were able to provide valuable on-the-ground guidance for the road opening work and helped solve many problems.

"Ningwu-A" aircraft are also used in route selection, terrain surveying and communication, etc., providing great convenience for road construction.

At the same time, through the hard lobbying of Kang Fan, Shoushan and Huifeng, as well as the intervention of the Empress Dowager Cixi, the governments of Zhili, Inner Mongolia and other places along the road also gave full support to this work, and most of the labor and materials were able to be provided.

The solution was solved with great force.

"This is the benefit of central administrative intervention!" Kang Fan said to Zhong Hanqiang.

"Yes." Zhong Hanqiang also agreed, "China is such a big country, and it cannot do without strong central administrative intervention. Unfortunately, the intervention ability of the Qing Dynasty is getting weaker and weaker. Zhili and Inner Mongolia are still okay.

It becomes a problem any further away."

Kang Fan smiled, "Aren't we there? Let's support the court and make it more powerful!"

Zhong Hanqiang smiled happily, "It's all up to you, Kang Fan."

"It depends on all of us!" Kang Fan said.

In order to speed up road opening, the Shanxi-Heilongjiang automobile transportation line tries to connect existing official roads. However, military and civilian "iron horse" transport vehicles do not have high requirements for road conditions. In addition, more and more new crawler-type engineering machinery are put into use.

Yue Duo and the officers and soldiers of the Jin Army's engineering unit worked desperately, so the speed of opening the road was surprisingly fast.

Mei Xiang's male classmate who was in charge of the road construction project didn't believe that what he saw was real. When he told Kang Fan, his hands and feet were trembling with excitement, "Brother Kang, your Jin army is so damn good!"

A male classmate was forced to use a foul word to accentuate his tone.

Kang Fan patted him on the shoulder and said, "You're the one who directed me well!"

"Brother Kang, if you can give me another two years, I promise to give you a strategic cement highway!" said the male classmate.

Kang Fan smiled and said: "I will wait for you after the current road is open, but not now."

In fact, Kang Fan could not wait to own a strategic cement highway overnight! With such a highway, Shanxi Province's increasingly powerful automobile industry will surely produce a large number of cars, and it will be possible to reach distant places.

Heilongjiang and Shanxi are closely connected and can play a decisive role in both peacetime and wartime. If a railway with stronger transportation capacity is built in the next step, it will be more beneficial to the construction and defense of Heilongjiang. But time does not allow it now.

The historical Eight-Nation Allied Forces War of Invasion of China was about to break out. He had to do something and couldn't wait any longer!

With the continuous improvement of the Shanxi-Heilongjiang transportation line, the transportation volume has doubled. Under the personal dispatch of Kang Fan and Huifeng, the construction work in the Aihui area will be fully launched after the year.

Three "Ningwu-A" aircraft were shipped from Shanxi in the form of parts to support the geological exploration, topographic surveying, road construction, urban planning, farmland water conservancy site selection and other work in the jurisdiction. Kang Fan and those who came with him

After the ground crew completed the assembly of the aircraft together, they were the first to fly the aircraft for inspection.

He hovered in the air for a long time, admiring the magnificent natural scenery in early spring in northern Xinjiang of his motherland, and his heart was filled with excitement.

On the other side of the broad Heilongjiang River is a country called Russia. This country can be compared with Japan in terms of greed, ugliness, despicability, shamelessness, etc. If you want to protect this future "breadbasket" of Shanxi and the northeastern part of the Qing Empire

Gate, the first thing to be wary of is this ambitious neighbor! It is best to launch a war that can subvert the foundation of its rule, so that it will never dare to make any moves again.

We couldn’t wait for the October Revolution in 1917. Even if we waited, what would be the use? Wouldn’t the lost land still be lost? A beast will always be a beast, and it cannot change its skin or the season of survival.

You will become conscientious, and the best way to deal with them is to use the shotgun in your hand!

But now, in the name of building and protecting railways, the Russian army has penetrated into Northeast China and is intertwined with the local Qing garrison. Aihui's defense situation is quite severe. Although Shoushan and Huifeng have already made great progress in armament construction,

We tried our best, but were unable to get strong support from the court. We recruited a lot of soldiers, but the weapons and equipment were extremely backward, the logistics supply was not guaranteed, and we simply did not have the conditions for modern combat. If we really wanted to fight, the outcome would be self-evident.

If you want to defend the Aihui area, you can't do it without relying on the Jin army. Whether the Jin army is a good shotgun can only be tested in actual combat.

On the day he took office as governor of Shanxi, Kang Fan hastily began the reorganization of the garrison in the province. He selected more than 30,000 qualified officers and soldiers from them to be incorporated into the Jin Army's standing army, and the rest were demobilized and relocated to the province.

Working in various government-run enterprises in the country. With the addition of soldiers from outside the province who came to join the Jin Army and officers and soldiers recruited from the internal guard forces, the total number of Jin Army has sharply expanded to more than 60,000 people, which is already very large.

However, subsequent related work such as the production and deployment of new weapons and equipment, troop training, integration, infrastructure and defense engineering construction, etc. are still arduous. Although the General Staff Department has been coordinating all parties to proceed at a rapid pace, there is still some time before everything is in place.

distance. Therefore, at present, the more than 10,000 people who were originally formed are still the ones who are ready to participate in the war at any time. They have to bear the important task of defending Aihui and Tianjin at the same time, and the number of troops is still insufficient.

After careful analysis, Kang Fan believed that the Tianjin base is currently affiliated with the US government, and Donovan is instigating it, so its security can be guaranteed in a short period of time. In addition, under the instruction of the Empress Dowager Cixi, the Jin army has been integrated into Tianjin

In the coastal defense system, all aspects of work are being consolidated. However, the construction of the Aihun area has just begun, and all aspects of work need to be improved urgently, and should be listed as the focus of protection.

After such consideration, Kang Fan negotiated with Huifeng and mobilized an artillery regiment, a cavalry regiment, a service regiment and two infantry regiments from the Jin army's standing army in advance to station in the Aihui area and work with the Aihui garrison.

Responsible for defense and immediately start combat readiness construction, as an independent armed force temporarily under the direct command of Huifeng.

This part of the Jin Army's standing army infantry garrisoned in Aihui has been equipped with a large number of new horse-drawn carriages to improve their mobility. It is planned to give priority to equipped with mechanized equipment such as wheeled and tracked military vehicles when conditions are mature in the future, so as to be more suitable for maneuvering in the vast Heilongjiang area.

combat mission.

After the successful implementation of the construction plan of Aihui District, all walks of life in Shanxi once again got an opportunity to develop, exercise, grow and grow accordingly, and also accelerated the construction and improvement of various social undertakings in the province. At this time,

Kang Fan has to go to Tianjin - he wants to use actual combat to temper his Jin army!

"Does it have to be like this?" Mei Xiang was about to cry but had no tears.

Kang Fan nodded, "Yes, it must be like this."

"Then if that's the case, I want to go with you." Mei Xiang gritted her teeth and said.

Kang Fan shook his head resolutely, "War is a soldier's business. I am a soldier, shouldering the mission of protecting my home and country. And you..." When Kang Fan said this, he suddenly felt sad, his eyes became moist, and he held up the plum fragrance.

Zhang's pretty face was covered with tears, and she stroked it lovingly, "I want to protect you, I also want to protect thousands of compatriots, and more importantly, our motherland. I tell you Mei Xiang, you are my decision

The spiritual support to do this is also the motivation for me to fight for this regardless of everything, so you must be safe and sound!"

Mei Xiang finally couldn't help but burst into tears.

Kang Fan smiled and asked: "Meixiang, do you think I can't win the battle?"

Mei Xiang stopped crying and looked at him with tearful eyes, "Who said that?!"

"No one told me." Kang Fan wiped her tears, "But if you cry like this, can I fight well?"

Mei Xiang wanted to smile, but she couldn't, which made her cry even more.

"Victory always belongs to the great Chinese nation!" Kang Fan clenched his fist and waved it vigorously in the air.

Mei Xiang finally smiled, "Kang Fan, I believe you can win the battle!"

Kang Fan nodded and hugged her hard.

After bidding farewell to Mei Xiang and everyone else, and assigning all the work in Aihui's jurisdiction to the relevant Shanxi government departments, and handing everything over to Huifeng for unified coordination, Kang Fan transferred a group of standing officers and soldiers of the Jin Army and headed for Tianjin.

The Jin army officers and soldiers who went to Tianjin this time and their weapons, ammunition, combat supplies, etc. were transported by train. Kang Fan's car was also transported by train. Therefore, the march was very fast. During the journey, the officers and soldiers could all be transported in comfortable buses.

You get a good rest in the carriage, you are protected from wind and rain, you are not afraid of warmth or cold, and you are not worried about hunger or thirst. You no longer have to go through the slow and tiring walking march no matter the distance, and you have to endure the harsh weather and natural environment along the way.

.

This is real progress!
