Just when the war between the two countries in the East began to stabilize and completely suppressed the Japanese army. The international war has intensified, and the allied forces and the fascists are fighting to the death, especially between the Soviet and German armies, and the tug-of-war between the two sides has left hundreds of thousands of people without the right to live in the war.

No one knows when this war will end, but all those involved in this war, from civilians to soldiers, believe that their country will get the most out of this war.

Liao Fan, who was in Taihang Mountain, knew that not many countries would gain real benefits in this war, but would compete for two places, and then these two countries would decide a world hegemon. Liao Fan thought about pushing his country to the position of world hegemon, but he didn't want to compete for these two places, if China was on the cusp of this storm, the final result would only be that the heart was higher than the sky and the fate was thinner than the paper.

Sitting on the hill and watching the tiger fight is the best option, and of course, it is necessary to convince everyone that the country is not capable of competing for the position of world supremacy, and only in this way can the opponent let his guard down. Therefore, the little devil is the best means of exploitation, because no one believes that an invaded country can regain national sovereignty in a short time and rise to become a world superpower overnight.

Liao Fan arranged all the things in Taihang Mountain very properly, everything is like a one-stop industrial chain, which is developing purposefully, and absorbing all the knowledge that can be absorbed as much as possible, and turning this knowledge into science and technology.

In two months, the Eighth Route Army sent a message to Taihang Mountain, they had established a railway line to the desert, and the railway line was protected by the Eighth Route Army and the Seventh Army along the way. As for the depths of the desert, he was just waiting for Liao Fan to arrange the troops.

"Brother Fan, how many troops do you need? A corps or an army? ”

Of course, Liao Fan refused to mobilize troops who could fight well, after all, their troops were still mainly infantry, supplemented by armored troops, and these main forces needed to stare at the Japanese army. The only force that could be sent to the Northwest Desert was Li Lingfei's troops.

"Fifty thousand! The strength of an army, this is only the first stage. ”

Liao Fan plans to arrange 50,000 troops to the Northwest Desert first, of course, there are no scientific and technological personnel here, and these troops are not going to fight, the purpose of their trip to the Northwest Desert is only to clean up all the personnel in the specified area and establish infrastructure suitable for human survival, such as guarding against crazy sandstorms in the Northwest Region.

"For how long?" Li Lingfei asked.

"It won't take too long to build the infrastructure, six months is enough, bring a few engineers from Taihang Mountain, they know what kind of facilities to build, but I'll give you a map, give this map to the commander who went there, and tell him that only he knows these two locations to thicken the concrete by ten meters and deepen it by fifty meters!"

Liao Fan did not mark all the data on the map, originally he wanted to divide the drawings into four and hand them over to the four army commanders to work on this plan, but after Liao Fan thought about it, if this is the construction cycle, it will become longer, and for his subordinates, he should choose to believe, rather than suspect, although there have been mutinies, but this does not affect Liao Fan's trust in these brothers of life and death.

"Okay, I'll arrange for the troops to go to the northwest immediately!"

"The environment over there is harsh, and not a single grain of food should be missing."

In the harsh environment of the northwest, it is easy to cause soldiers to die due to the weather, although it is not a battlefield, but the danger is no worse than that of the battlefield.

"Brother Fan, I want to ask one thing, since the environment is so bad, why don't you arrange for Japanese prisoners of war to go to the northwest? To let our warriors go? ”

"The lifeblood of the country cannot be handed over to aliens, especially little devils, I dare not guarantee that so many prisoners of war will die in the northwest desert, as long as one person escapes and ascends to heaven, all our plans are likely to be exposed."

Liao Fan also thought about using the prisoners of war of the little devils to engage in these high-risk jobs, but the project in the northwest involves the rise of the country, and Liao Fan did not dare to take risks, especially so many Japanese prisoners of war, once they escaped from the desert, even if they fled to the Soviet Union, and leaked Liao Fan's plan to the Soviets, the Soviets would definitely send heavy troops to the south, and the northwest would be in no peace.

"Understood, I'll explain it to the fighters, and they'll understand."

After returning to Taihang Mountain, in order to make the project or task clearer, Liao Fan divided Shen Zhengwen's department into more than a dozen institutes, and Shen Zhengwen of course served as the general dean, so that his work was much easier, and he was mainly responsible for management work, rather than in-depth research, which reduced Shen Zhengwen's burden and improved the efficiency between the institutes.

"The deans below must be the elite of this industry, and all the affairs of the academy must listen to these experts, not only you Shen Zhengwen, but I also have to listen to these deans!"

The layman is in charge of the insider, there will inevitably be a lot of mistakes, and it is irreconcilable, so it must be the insider who is in charge of the layman, Liao Fan can set the direction for them, but he can't know how they do it.

Shen Zhengwen is now half an expert, although he has begun to engage in management, but Shen Zhengwen has not given up his research on professional issues, especially mixed with these experts, Shen Zhengwen unconsciously began to learn new knowledge.

As Liao Fan's letter was delivered to the hands of Chinese scientists, many scientists also began to return to China, and their dream was very clear, to create a very great country with their own hands.

Taihang Mountain is really thriving, and both technology and industry are making up for the country's gap. Moreover, the important scientists that Liao Fan hoped for would finally return to China within two months, although the infrastructure in the northwest region has not been completed, but this does not affect the scientists' rich theoretical knowledge.

"Our country is really poor and white, the industrial foundation is weak, the country is still at war, and we don't want other countries to support us, but there is one thing, we must be self-sufficient, and the country in the future can no longer be bullied by anyone!" Liao Fan looked at the money eagerly.

"Before going abroad, I swore that I would use my knowledge to make our nation strong, and since I am back, I will definitely fulfill this promise, Commander-in-Chief Liao, although you can rest assured, I know the current situation of our country, but I believe that in the future, our country will become very strong." Qian promised Liao Fan.

The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was the most difficult period in China, but in such an environment, Liao Fan was able to establish a complete industrial system in North China, which has shocked the returning scientists, who must have put in a lot of effort and overcome a lot of difficulties, and almost everyone believed that there was nothing they could not do when they gathered here.

The important thing is that Taihang Mountain is united with the Eighth Route Army and the Seventh Army at this time, and does not want to drag Taihang Mountain back, especially after the Seventh Army regains the northwest region, Liao Fan once talked to Fu Yichang, Fu Yisheng almost did not hesitate, and promised Liao Fan to hand over the control of the northwest region to Taihang Mountain, but Liao Fan knew that what he needed was place, not control.

In other aspects, the Eighth Route Army also gave a lot of support, especially in terms of railways, the Eighth Route Army not only planned to build a railway, but also prepared to build two or even three railways leading to the border towns, the purpose of which was to prevent special situations from occurring in the northwest, so that the Eighth Route Army and the troops of the Taihang Mountains could be mobilized at any time to garrison the border passes.

Similarly, the Eighth Route Army, Taihang Mountain and the Seventh Army began to communicate militarily, of course, most of them are Taihang Mountain to support the two troops, from weapons to military items, Taihang Mountain has almost no reservations, except for the weapons that can not be exposed, as long as the weapons that Taihang Mountain can independently produce are supported to the two forces as much as possible, they are China's national defense forces, Liao Fan does not care whether they are really enemies in the future, but now they are defending the same land together.

With the upgrading of equipment in the two aspects, their combat effectiveness has also risen in a straight line. Of course, Liao Fan didn't give them tanks, but Taihang Mountain had too much demand for tanks.

"There are still too many troops in our country, and if this continues, it is indeed a burden for our country to simply raise so many troops, and it will also delay the development of other aspects!"

In Taihang Mountain alone, there are more than 1.5 million troops, the Eighth Route Army has nearly 3 million troops, and Chongqing's troops are about 5 million, and the troops of 10 million people are really too heavy a burden for a large agricultural country.

Moreover, many of these troops did not play much role from the beginning to the end, and they also occupied a lot of expenses for the troops. But there is no way to do this, because the control of the troops is not in the hands of one person.

Taihang Mountain and the Eighth Route Army can say that the troops in Chongqing are in control, and one unit is in charge of each locality, and even if Chairman Chiang orders disarmament, the local troops will not heed the suggestion at all.

However, Liao Fan thought of a way, that is, military salary, among the troops in the country, except for the troops of the Eighth Route Army, which did not rely on military salaries, as long as the military salaries were stuck, some troops had to cut their personnel, so as to reduce the consumption of troops.

"We need to have a military conference, this meeting involves three parties, the purpose is to disarm and eliminate those units that are not capable of fighting!" Liao Fan finally made up his mind to disarm, of course, these still have to be discussed with the Eighth Route Army and Chongqing.

Of course, Liao Fan did not dare to guarantee that the Eighth Route Army and Chongqing would obey his arrangement, after all, the army now symbolizes strength, but Liao Fan has a good way in his heart, which can not only improve the strength of the troops, but also reduce their expenses, I believe that they should not refuse such a thing that kills two birds with one stone.
