Chapter 1283: Surveying Siberia

The Chinese army is steadily advancing, day by day, from the Siberian side, the immigrant Russian people, enriching the population of the Russian cities located in China, for these poor Russian people, this is not a tragic journey, but a nirvana journey, China's attention to the cities is quite high, but also made a slight inclination, the most important thing is that the value of China's labor is quite high, these people are engaged in the lowest jobs, enough to feed them, Bolshevik socialism, even communism they don't see, but a good life is lived, immediate interests are the most important, this shakes their future choice.

However, China is not Russia after all, and some young people who have dreams and want to change themselves are naturally attracted by the Bolsheviks, providing the Bolsheviks with a large number of soldiers, constantly increasing Stalin's power, which has become another development of Far Eastern Russia, the development of the revolutionary party.

Throughout 1915, a total of 11 million people migrated from the eastern Siberian region of Russia, some of whom did not even take the Russian census, and now Russia has not yet completed industrialization, serfdom has not been completely abolished, ordinary people still live very hard, thousands of people who went to Siberia, some Russian officials are in charge, some simply turn a blind eye, a huge country, and there are many hidden people.

The Chinese army cleaned up the entire East Siberian side quite cleanly, from all the villages, even the mountains and forests, and those who lived alone in the wilderness, and the whole of Siberia was empty. This is for the convenience of the next occupation, and China cannot be like the Russian tsar. Just point a location on the map and announce a policy. He pushed a large number of people here, and he only needed to see a qualified city within the specified time and build it on his map, as for how many people would die to build this city, and how many people would be destroyed, he didn't care about all of this.

But China is not Russia, and Yang Yuanzhao is not a tsar. It is impossible to take the people casually, whether it was in Baotou back then, or now, population is one of the most important data, besides, the layout is comfortable, and the people's lives are a little easier, it's just a matter of money, which is not a problem at all.

It was probably around May Day. A special train entered Siberia, a probe train, carefully selected personnel in China. Now that the army has relocated everything that can be moved, the Russian army and everything are controlled in a certain area. Next, there is the preliminary survey of Siberia. Only after everything has been surveyed can you emigrate to Siberia.

Immigration is for sure. Only immigrants, migrating enough Chinese, can completely occupy Siberia, this point, everyone knows, the huge Siberia, not very suitable for people's main sentence, the original Russian side, only along the Trans-Siberian Railway, now China is ready to use the Trans-Siberian Railway as a base point, to the north of a range of several hundred kilometers, one north and one south of the area, are habitable, the northwest will be in the situation of farms, build a series of cities, and then immigrate 20 million, completely occupy this part. It is impossible to completely occupy such a piece of land without the corresponding people.

It looks huge but scattered to more than a million square kilometers, it is really not big, after all, this is not the desertification climate of the northwest, although it is still a polar region, it is a forbidden area for human beings, but except for the season except winter, it is similar to other places.

This survey train is very well equipped, with more than 500 researchers and necessary escorts on it, of which the researchers occupy about sixty percent, and will carry 120 off-road vehicles, which were the cars that were made when Stalin was rescued, as well as various tools, mainly geological ones.

This exploration, in addition to figuring out the terrain here, looking for suitable sites for the establishment of railways and highways, will also conduct a simple geological survey of the land in Siberia, although it is said that up to now, China is still the same as the United States, domestic resources and land, if there is no accident, will not be developed, but some strategically important rich mines, can still be developed, put relatively cheap do not use, imported abroad, if it is savings, it is good to say a little, but some strategic minerals, No country will sell it easily.

A survey team of 500 people, of course, it is impossible to explore the entire Siberian region, that is impossible, not even the Eastern Siberian region, after all, this is more than a million square kilometers of land, they are not all, just the first wave of personnel, they will be in charge of the area northeast of Chita.

Next, there will be at least 12 similar teams, they will go through different directions, before the snow falls in the future, in a carpet method, search the whole of Siberia, and strive to form a perfect plan, the focus in 1915 is on the war, and by 1916, or even the end of 1915, there will be a preliminary plan for Siberia, on the basis of the original Russian cities, to build a number of large and small cities, plus farms and production and construction corps, There will be 30 million to 35 million people living here in the future.

To tell the truth, for people who have lived in the temperate zone for a long time, they will be very unaccustomed to Siberia suddenly, and 30 million people will suffer, but this place is very important for the future of China, not to mention the foundation of a complete Siberia, a huge 7 million square kilometers of Siberia, is the best rear of China in the future.

The place itself is a rich place, thousands of years of primeval forest, which is a wealth, unlike non-renewable mineral resources, petroleum and coal, which are sustainable, that is, as long as they are exploited reasonably, they can obtain long-term resources.

China's development is very rapid, with the investment of various machinery and equipment, the production of individuals is constantly increasing, along with the high salary policy in the northwest and even China, a huge market is being cultivated.

Yang Yuanzhao proposed that the development of various electrical appliances in the northwest has taken away a considerable part of the share, but the traditional wooden furniture, as well as a variety of wooden decoration, is still relatively popular, just from the old era, although all kinds of woodworking machinery and tools have entered the factory, but the traditional practice is still the mainstream, and the demand for wood is very large.

In China, forest resources have always been not very abundant, Yang Yuanzhao in China is also taking protective measures, in most cases, only afforestation is allowed, not allowed to be cut, in this regard, the use of high-pressure policy, after all, the current China, is still under the node of forest coverage, once the felling is completed, in the future, there will be a long time to be used to pay off the debt.

As a result, the price of timber is very high, and China is also looking to buy from major timber producers, including Russia and Brazil, until the war between the two sides.

Now China has opened the Far East Raid, preparing to occupy the region of Eastern Siberia, which is not suitable for Siberia for the ban on logging in the country, which is a natural fertile soil, where countless timber grows to the limit, which is a waste of production.

The harsh environment is a forbidden area for human beings, even if Russia has developed for hundreds of years, it is only a small part of the area around the Trans-Siberian Railway, which does not have much impact on the development of the whole of Siberia, here is just cold, not lack of water, the adaptability of plants is the strongest in the whole world, unless it is a desert without rainfall, or a desertified climate, where it is not human intervention, it is difficult to have plants, even so, there are a large number of drought-resistant plants growing, and in Siberia, Alpine coniferous forests and other cold-resistant plants make this area a completely different forest from the temperate zone.

Even because it is a cold zone, it grows slowly, and the texture of the wood is quite good, which is one of the best choices for furniture.

Even if the annual targeted felling, the output of timber is more than all of the previous China, which is still to ensure that the environment is not damaged under the felling, after all, the forest has a limit, once the limit is reached, he will not develop, but some trees may be occupied by the dominant tree species, rather than waste, it is better to use, many trees in the alpine zone, is the best variety for making furniture, etc., the annual growth is very small, the texture is quite dense, is the benefit of the tree species here.

In addition to timber, the abundant natural resources of Siberia as a whole, such as various animals, most of which carry fur, will become a new source of income if they are selectively raised and exploited.

These survey teams, the main thing to do, with the help of the existing measurement means, to find the key points, even if it is a sustainable development of these resources, there is a limit, if it exceeds this limit, there will definitely be problems, they are responsible for the preliminary work, the resources here to co-ordinate, by the way to choose the right urban development.

In the future, Siberia will certainly not be like Russia now, it will still be rural, ordinary farming will be the mainstay, and there will be farming, but it will be based on the production and construction corps, with the help of intensive management and various advanced machinery, to achieve the degree of reducing the labor force as much as possible.

Most of the rest of the people will be concentrated in the cities, in the experience of the northwest, the value that can be created by the countryside is limited, the greater value is still industry, in the cities, the level of industrialization represents the strength of the country, a large number of people concentrated in the cities, not only can create more value, but also make the defense easier, as long as the border of a few cities and large hub cities, no one can take Siberia.
