In order to participate in this war that determines the fate of the world, China is preparing for active preparations in all aspects, not only expanding the industrial layout, but also preparing for a rainy day in agriculture, Yang Rui's hybrid rice is just one of them, in Chinese mainland, the cultivated land area has been reduced on a large scale for the first time in nearly five years, for no other reason, there is Southeast Asia, not inferior to China's original cultivated land, the degree of fertility is far above China, in order to ensure food production, the previous barely developed moderate, even barren land, It can be used for other purposes.

From the time of development in the northwest, pay attention to environmental protection, forest occupancy has been trying to maintain, but for the sake of food production this red line, it is necessary to give up something, now, the important can be carried out drastically, a single grain planting, although it is also a plant, but there is not much benefit to the environment, and even has a destructive effect, only comprehensive woodland, especially natural forests, is the real protection of the environment.

Natural forests are naturally generated, and the study in the northwest can be adjusted, which is a long-term mechanism that needs to be improved slowly, but from this year, as long as the cultivated land reclamation rate in Southeast Asia increases and food production increases, the speed of returning farmland to forests will be faster.

As for Southeast Asia, it is completely different from China, and it is also China's territory in the future, and it is certainly impossible to dry up and fish, but Southeast Asia is an undeveloped area, and the local natives are lazy, even if there are Chinese immigrants who work hard, it is also sporadic, at least before the large-scale migration in the northwest of Borneo, there has been no large-scale development, and most of the land is natural primeval forest.

Fertile land that has not been developed for thousands of years. A fertile pinch of soil can produce oil, and it is always bad to waste it in vain. While most of the valuable primary forests and high-value cash crops will remain, even some land suitable for growing rubber will be preserved. However, it is no problem to reclaim the same amount of arable land as China, at least in terms of output, which is equal to China's total output.

On the Nanyang side, after several wars, coupled with the oppression of the great powers, the population of the entire Southeast Asia is not large, and after the first war of the founding of the Nanyang state, there are only tens of millions of people left, and the output has increased by about double, and the increase in population is only a fraction. It is conceivable that in the future of China, grain production will be greatly surplus, this part of the surplus will not be wasted, or used for breeding, with meat to change the diet structure of the Chinese, although in the northwest efforts, the problem of food and clothing has long been solved, but meat and other side foods. It is not a large and sufficient supply, because the Chinese population is too large, even with more scientific cultivation methods. Because it is also necessary to ensure that such a cash crop as cotton, although the grain is not in the red line, it is almost the same. Meat is available in sufficient quantities in Baotou, and other places have just been opened.

Of course, compared to the days that the Chinese used to live. This is already like heaven, but it is the same as the 21st century that Yang Yuanzhao has experienced. Compared with the era of great material wealth, it is still far from the era, about breeding, in fact, Yang Yuanzhao knows some, but he does not dare to move.

Now, with the reclamation of cultivated land in Southeast Asia, the efforts of the Production and Construction Corps and the industrious Chinese, there will be no more problems in China's grain production for a year at most, and it will not only be able to fill its stomach, but also be able to support the breeding industry, and even export to a certain extent.

In addition to industry and agriculture, the greater development is commercial, especially in ocean freight, China itself has the reputation of made in China, and has the largest civilian shipyard in the world, such as Jiangnan Shipyard, and with the help of the general section construction method, so far beyond the shipbuilding technology of this era, a large number of high-speed merchant ships were quickly built, and the world's largest commercial fleet was built by using the method of sailors trained by fishing boats and recruiting other captains.

In this era when the Entente and the Central Powers are fighting each other in various fields, the tonnage of the ships produced by various countries has not been sunk quickly, although there is money to buy new ships, and even China has made a lot, but when the transportation costs are rising steadily, the value created by the merchant fleet has been amazing, and it is definitely not a joke to earn back the shipbuilding costs in five or six months.

The merchant fleet is one aspect, the other aspect, with the identity of a neutral country, coupled with the huge capacity of the 3B railway, constantly earning high profits, this is the last calm period, China's top management knows that as long as the ice and snow in Siberia melts at the beginning of next year, the Russian side will definitely attack wildly, and then there will be a big war, as for the allies, the advantages in Europe will also be slowly offset because of the United States' spare no effort, if China does not join the camp of the allies, Maybe never have that chance.

China is now, is the fastest development of the era, every day of development, there is more of a heritage, when this heritage is high to a certain extent, China will burst out so that everyone dare not ignore the powerful, but now, in the eyes of most countries except Germany, China is just a sudden strong, but only in their own acres and three points of land activities, just like the United States before the door opened.

The war situation in Asia has slowly calmed down, but in Europe, the war is getting more and more intense, and it has begun to spread to many aspects, the anxiety on the land, so that the daily death has become a number, the provocation of the British Navy, so that all countries have turned their attention from the land to the sea, the army has entered the stage of stalemate, there can be no big results, to the navy, the two sides must have a war under the premise, maybe in a month or two, it will be clear.

In the Atlantic, to the north of Great Britain, the whole sea was in disarray, and all messages and messages pointed to a fleet, the return of the Scheer fleet, and the breaking of the line of defense they had laid out on the west coast of Africa.

Britain has never underestimated the Scheer fleet, and the 9 capital ships of the Scheer fleet are not joking, they are all cutting-edge warships, no matter how much they belittle, the Scheer fleet in the Asian naval battle, the strong performance, also made the British deeply jealous, propaganda means are propaganda means, the real investigation of the opponent is to examine the opponent, put the high profile of propaganda, put the high profile of propaganda, on the perception of the opponent, that is suicide, at least the experienced British will not do this.

A few days ago, Scheer's ship broke through the defense line arranged by the Entente in northern Africa, bypassing the area where the other side patrolled the most, but at the last moment, it collided with a small group, only more than 20 ships, including fishing boats and merchant ships, they pose little threat to the capital ships, but it is still very difficult to annihilate them, the aiming facilities in the northwest, here, play the role of a fixed sea needle, against the fleet that escaped at a speed of about 15 to 22 knots, 9 ships, shooting separately, first sank those military ships, and then cleared and tracked them at fixed points, and sent them to the bottom of the sea to ensure that their information was not leaked.

After that, Scheer did not waste time, directly into the Atlantic, towards Germany quickly, not even the battlefield cleaned, because if cleaned, the situation may be worse, in case of other fleets, exposed to the news of their return, then there is really no chance at all, from the west coast of Africa, to Germany, there is still a long way to go, one more day, one more chance.

Although the British have certain mistakes in the layout, they are not stupid, they know very well that once the other side is dispatched, no fleet is an opponent, they are all over the hundreds, even thousands of warships, in order not to resist them, it is a warning and early warning effect, it is enough to find their whereabouts, each fleet has a fixed route, in a cycle of 3 days, it is necessary to interact with other fleets.

In fact, during the 3 days, there was no interaction, the fleet responsible for interception was already worried, several fleets changed their routes, searched the area, countless fragments and traces of battle, showing the tragic battle of the past, without the slightest hesitation, the fastest fleet immediately relayed the method to move towards the mainland, and it took only one and a half days to rush to the shore and send a telegram to the country through the cable telegraph network.

3 days of interaction, 3 days of search and reporting, that is, 6 days after the departure of the Scheer fleet, the telegram reached the British Admiralty, and the British Navy was completely disorganized. For this time the Scheer fleet, the Navy attaches great importance to it, they are almost 24 hours on duty, when all kinds of information are summarized on the chart, the various situations are almost clear at a glance, from the news on the west coast of Africa, the Scheer fleet has a total of 9 ships, it should be only the capital ship to go lightly, their position 6 days ago, in the northwest of the Gulf of Guinea 470 nautical miles, according to the maximum speed they know of the other party, temporarily 24 knots, 6 days, day and night, At most, it is possible to reach the English Channel, in addition to the Gulf of Guinea, where the British have arranged early warning, in the Spanish waters, the Portuguese waters, and even the entire North Sea, there are a large fleet, which can be said to be in full swing, and it is almost impossible for a large fleet of 9 capital ships to pass through.

The senior naval officer quickly rowed around on the chart, not casually drawing, but according to certain rules, using data and intelligence to speak, and finally an admiral said: "Scheer's fleet has a total of 9 ships, he should have made a detour, and the location is in this area!" ”

The admiral mapped out the possible area, and the officers who were familiar with naval warfare below quickly marked several possibilities, the largest number of warships were concentrated in the British mainland, although this was an area of tens of thousands of nautical miles, but for the British fleet, this was not a problem, and an encirclement and suppression around the Scheer fleet appeared.
