The Japanese moved faster, originally because of Scheer's fleet, the Japanese army was directly in the state of emergency, and now it is just mobilized, although most of the Japanese navy has been defeated, but this period of time has also recovered some, the attack is insufficient, the defense is more than enough, the bloody lessons of Shandong, so that Japan does not dare to land directly on the Chinese mainland, he still chose a roundabout method and sent troops to Korea, where the Chinese did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and stopped on the side of the Yalu River, As long as you enter the northern mountains, you will be able to contact Russia, Vladivostok, on the east side of North Korea, when the time comes, the two sides will join forces, relying on the strength of Russia, Japan can be regarded as confident.

The huge fleet, with a few days of effort, transported more than 30 newly built divisions to North Korea, close to a million troops, plus logistics forces, more than a million, can be regarded as a mighty force, they stopped in the south of Korea, then went to the north of Korea, according to the agreed time, in the middle of September, they will follow Russia to declare war on China, and then attack the defense line of the Yalu River.

The Northwest will not pay attention to Japan, since the million Japanese army entered Korea, the Japanese army has taken the initiative to become the flank force, the key to this war, I am afraid to look at the results of the battle near the central part of Mongolia, the victory or defeat here, related to the overall situation.

Kulen, the capital of Mongolia, began to develop greatly after the liberation of Mongolia in 1911, at this time there was already the prototype of a modern city, more than a million cities, still located inland, in the world, there are only a few cities stronger than him, in the newly planned urban area, at least dozens of high-rise buildings. And more houses are under construction, up to 5 years. Kulen will become a huge city with a total population of more than 8 million, or even 10 million.

Mongolia has always been relatively barren. However, due to the geographical relationship, Mongolia has become a natural successor to undertake the transfer of heavy industry in the northwest, and countless industrial transfers have made Mongolia at this time completely different from Mongolia before 1911. The flower of industry entered Mongolia, and for thousands of years, there was no modern industry, and Mongolia, which had been living on grazing, suddenly underwent earth-shaking changes. From a backward area that only knows agriculture and animal husbandry, to a region with modern industry.

Mongolia, which was once vast and sparsely populated, had a harsh climate, and even had only a small part of the grassland, many areas were deserts and deserts with no people, and successfully undertook a large number of heavy industries in Baotou, and Mongolia was short of water, but for the time being. There is enough water, and when water from Lake Baikal is introduced in the future, there will be no shortage of water in the whole of northern China, which requires the inclusion of Baikal in the jurisdiction of the northwest.

Right now. Lake Baikal is still part of the territory of Russia, but the early canals and water diversion projects are already under construction, and Britain, France, the United States and other countries have made small moves. Affecting the export of Chinese products, Yang Yuanzhao and the northwest government adopted measures to expand domestic demand in advance. Hundreds of large-scale projects are being carried out across the country, including the project to divert water from the north to the south of Lake Baikal.

It can be found among the many mineral sources in Mongolia. Heavy industry with steel, non-ferrous metals, and coal as the main body has been connected into a belt in Kulun, a new 25 million tons of steel base, a 2 million tons of copper production base and a 15 million tons of coal coal base, a thriving industry, but also added a layer of luster to Mongolia, originally in 1911, there were less than 1 million people on more than 1 million square kilometers of land in Outer Mongolia, but now, at least 12 million people, Kulen has become Mongolia's first super city with a population of more than 4 million, The number of other industrial cities with a population of more than one million has reached four.

The huge population has added vitality to Mongolia, and also brought a vigorous economy, urban development, transportation construction, and railways, just like a huge channel, connecting the originally poor places, and the Mongolians who could only rely on the sky to eat, herding cattle, horses, and sheep have also begun to enter the fixed site, because of the environmental protection considerations in the northwest, the pasture must be rested and replanted, instead of relying on the sky to eat as before, and large livestock such as cattle, horses and sheep must be kept in captivity, especially cattle and horses. Due to the use of machinery, cattle and horses play less and less role in agriculture, and only the value of meat is left, and the centralized breeding of captivity also contributes to the increase of their production.

Mongolia has been relatively backward in the past few thousand years, there is no perfect civilization, and all kinds of mineral resources have not been developed, but in the three years of control of Mongolia in the northwest, there are many proven reserves of various minerals, especially the gold and copper mines near the border of Inner Mongolia, as well as iron mines and coal mines in several places, which is enough to support an industrial complex.

Although China's demand for steel is not endless, in the future, it will inevitably be transformed and reduced according to the situation, but now, the whole of China has become a large construction site, and the demand for steel is quite large under the premise of countless large-scale construction.

The layout of the whole Mongolia, with Kulen as the center, with several huge mining areas as nodes, and then formed several industrial centers, and constantly expanded outward, and Mongolia's population is also increasing because of economic and industrial development.

Mongolia now, in addition to the economy and industry, has to mention the layout of the army, the establishment of the northwest, almost in the threat of war, gradually come over, Yang Yuanzhao just developed Baotou, because Baotou is too rich, attracted a large number of horse thieves, it is the battle with the horse thieves, watered Baotou, but also let Baotou enter a stable stage, then, with the expansion of Baotou, the development of the army is the key, from the 54 mixed association, to the back of the first division, the second division, the first army, Every expansion of the army represents an expansion of strength.

After the founding of China, the entire Northwest Army became the Chinese National Defense Force, which was reorganized and restructured, and seven major military regions were established nationwide, the first of which was the Northwest Military Region, which was the most important military region, and was also the most elite force and the largest military region in China.

The total number of troops in the Northwest Military Region is not the largest, the army is about 800,000 people, but it controls China's most powerful air force, the entire strategic air force belongs to the Northwest Military Region, 3 special divisions and some newly formed experimental units, also belong to the Northwest Military Region, the future development of the Northwest Military Region, in addition to the most elite group army of 350,000 people, responsible for defending the Baotou Special Economic Zone, the rest of the troops are divided, the main direction of the jumping worm, that is, the Xinjiang Military Region, the Northeast Military Region, the Northern Mongolian Military Region, The location of these three military regions is in Xinjiang, Mongolia and Northeast China, to put it bluntly, it is to guard against Russia, after taking Malacca and establishing Lanfang in Nanyang, the threat from the south was basically taken over by Lanfang, and the only two threats are the threat from Japan from the sea and the threat from Russia.

After the defeat of Japan in Shandong, although many people retreated, but in the two encounters, their losses were very great, at least for a year there was no threat, a year later, as long as it was a new fleet, and the same size as the Scheer fleet was launched, the Japanese threat would no longer work, the northwest was not afraid that they would come across the sea, and even under the premise of trying to occupy Korea, they would not even have a foothold, let alone attack China.

Japan, an island nation, has congenital deficiencies, and if they are given a few decades to forcibly develop into a powerful navy after reaping enough benefits in World War I, it may pose a greater threat to the northwest, and now, even the dreadnoughts are technology that has just been imported from Britain, and they are far from mature, let alone compete with China.

There is nothing to worry about on Japan's side, the threat from Russia has always existed, and it is getting bigger and bigger, thousands of kilometers of national borders, from Xinjiang in Central Asia to Heilongjiang in the northeast, a long national border, if Russia wants to attack, there are directions everywhere, between the two bordering powers, there must be a war, and there will be a winner in this war, and now, it is time for war to come.

The Mongol Northern Army was stationed in Mongolia. This Mengbei Army, a total of 4 group armies, is one of the largest armies in the whole of China, with a total number of more than 850,000 people, in addition to the Mengbei Army, the strategic forces against Siberia also include the newly formed Northeast Army Corps 350,000 and Xinjiang Army Corps 280,000, they show three aspects, respectively to deal with Central Asia, Chita and Vladivostok side of the Russian army.

It can be said that without Russia's threat to China, in the entire northern part of China, at least 1.5 million regular troops are stationed in the three key places bordering Russia, not to mention the second-line troops and internal security troops.

Originally, in the plan of the northwest, there will be a gradual development of Mongolia's economy, in addition to undertaking the industrial transfer of Baotou, is the most important north-south water diversion project, Mongolia's water diversion project is just the beginning, the construction of various canals and irrigation stations is just a beginning, I thought that until about 1918, it will be able to use the Soviet Union to be established, taking advantage of the Soviet Union just established, unwilling to be an enemy of the world, forcibly send troops to occupy, and sign a treaty with the Soviet Union, the Baikal into the territory of China, the accident still happened, Ignoring the pattern of the European battlefield, Russia forcibly sent troops to the East, preparing for a big war with China.

The 2.5 million army, plus the strength of the Far East, exceeded 3.6 million, such a huge number, pressed on the border of several thousand kilometers, China of course became nervous, and the three defense Russian regiments played a role, and when they did not receive more orders, they first acted and began to make preparations before the battle.
