One hundred and fifty kilometers, for the army, it may take three or four days, but for the armored forces, that is, a few hours, driven by high-horsepower engines, the heavy tanks in the northwest can reach a speed of about 30 kilometers per hour, and the light ones are basically more than 45, as for the wheeled armored personnel carriers, they can reach 65 on the road, and under off-road conditions, they can also reach 50 kilometers per hour, so Yan Xishan arranged the armored forces on the flanks, which is 150 kilometers away from this area. Coupled with the distance of this area, more than 300 kilometers, this is no longer the range that the human reconnaissance station can detect.

When the scouts were intensive, Yan Xishan understood that the fish had already taken the bait, and then there was only patience left, as far as the speed of Russia's troop transfer was concerned, it might last a week, or even half a month, and it was a rare opportunity to be able to serve as a commander in this big war, and he still had this patience.

The situation in East Asia suddenly changed, and Russia, which was supposed to be involved in the European war, suddenly turned around and declared war on China, and Japan also followed the flag and shouted, and the two important members of the Entente declared war on China together, which made the Germans very happy, and they thought that Britain, France, and the United States, which had joined the Entente, would declare war on China in accordance with the provisions of the Entente.

After the United States entered the war, it did not show the pressure of the army, but the navy was very large, plus the 12 dreadnoughts of the United States, Britain and the United States combined, there were 41 ships, much higher than Germany's 28 ships. China's accession will not be able to help them in the navy for the time being, and they know that the Qingdao shipyard is still manufacturing, the same warships as the Scheer fleet, but when will it be successfully built and enter the active service of the navy. It is not yet known, and even after entering active service, it is not clear how much strength will be able to be exerted, but it is still possible to completely cut off the ties between Britain and France and the Asian colonies with a mobilization capacity of more than 10 million.

The Germans were expecting to hear that Japan and Russia had declared war on the Northwest, and that the Northwest had also declared war on Japan and Russia, and that the Entente agreement had written it above. If any third party declares war, they will follow suit. But I waited for a week, but there was no result, and what is incredible is that Britain, France, and the United States did not declare war on China, and they did not seem to have drawn China into a war, at least not a full-scale war.

Among them, Japan has also negotiated the terms of the Entente. Demands were made to Britain and the United States to fulfill the alliance agreement. However, Britain and the United States refused, directly using the excuse that this war was a private war between Russia and Japan and China, and had nothing to do with them, besides, the core of the war was in the Far East, and Britain and the United States could not bypass Germany. Then cross the Trans-Siberian Railway, which is thousands of kilometers from Russia, to fight in China.

Britain and the United States are obviously playing scoundrels, but whether it is Japan or Germany. There is nothing to be done, China's position is absolutely unique, as long as China itself can be strong and can rise, there is really no need to look at other people's faces.

The Japanese had no choice but to go home and sulk, but they were helpless, Britain and the United States were the leading forces of the Entente, and even Russia could not compare, they did not agree, then there was really no way. Thus emerged, in Europe the Allies and the Entente were at war, while in Asia, the forces of the two Entente powers jointly declared war on China, and the two sides started wars in different positions.

In this way, the two sides formed a tacit understanding, which made China a little happy, although it is said that now to join the Allies, leaking the identity, it is not a big deal, but to be able to wait a little longer, just wait for a while, immediately like the Scheer fleet, and add a powerful fleet, as long as there is this fleet, the weakest local navy in the northwest will be greatly replenished, not to mention that Japan is no longer an opponent, and even with the Germans, as long as it is not Britain, France and the United States to attack, there is no fear, With Malacca and Taiwan as protection, there is little possibility of the mainland being attacked, and it can even join the United States in the Pacific and fight a real Pacific war.

The war situation in the north, because of the results of the flickering calculations of the two sides, and fell into sporadic wars, no one did much action, the Japanese on the defense line of the Yalu River, after hitting a head and breaking the bloodstream, and after being rejected by Britain and the United States, they also found that things were wrong, not as bravely charged as before, and held the Yalu River, he was waiting, at least waiting for the Russian reinforcements in Vladivostok to come up, but he didn't know, Russia after knowing what happened to Japan, went directly to another road, Break through the northeast defense line from the Heilongjiang side.

The situation on the battlefield has reached a stalemate, and the three countries of China, Japan, and Russia are all waiting, waiting for the central Mongolian battlefield to decide a high and low, and the victory or defeat there will decide the situation of the entire battlefield.

As night fell, a heavily guarded special train quietly left Baotou, there was no sign on the special train, it looked similar to an ordinary train, but those who are familiar with the Northwest special train know that this is a special train, and from the specifications of the special train, it is easy to determine that it is at least a special train of the leader's level.

China was founded, everything is complicated, even if there are preparations, but Liu Shu and Yang Yuanzhao are still busy with their feet on the ground, at this juncture, Russia and Japan joined forces to declare war on China, the war in the north, more work is needed, but at this juncture, Yang Yuanzhao still left Baotou by special train.

Yang Yuanzhao's departure was not to deal with government affairs, but to send a group of vetted and trustworthy foreign experts and returned international students such as Truss to the Yinshan base.

Yinshan base is the biggest secret in the northwest, since its establishment a few years ago, remarkable results, whether it is the steel industry, precision manufacturing, high-end weapons, and even battleships, have its contributions, if steel and heavy industry, is the foundation of China, then Yinshan base, is the heart of this body, promoting the development of all aspects.

In the Yinshan base, there are a large number of science and technology beyond this era, and even some forward-looking topics, often five to ten years higher than this era, China is relying on these, in a short period of time, to catch up with the world's advanced, and continue to move higher, once the science and technology leaked here, for the northwest, has a huge impact.

However, China's foundation is still too thin, Yang Yuanzhao recruited talents from all over the world, even among the prisoners of war sent by Germany, spared no effort to develop higher education, and sent a large number of international students, but these are just trying to make up for the gap between China and other countries in the world.

This gave him a lot of headaches, after opening the door of the Yinshan base to the military, not only did some high-end equipment, such as armored forces, heavy artillery, aircraft, etc., enter the army in small batches in advance, adaptive training, this can be regarded as cultivating a batch of high-tech troops in advance, some of them will become the main force in the war with Russia and Japan this time, such as armored vehicles, such as tanks.

From the era of the big explosion of knowledge in later generations, he also knows the current situation of the Yinshan base, unless there are a few master scientists, in addition to a large number of backbone research institutes, under his forward-looking guidance, it is possible to get rapid development, otherwise, this is already the limit, perhaps in terms of materials, engines, Yang Yuanzhao's professionalism can continue to improve, but the lack of other disciplines as support, to continue to break through, it is very difficult, and it will never be able to solve the problem. Tech trees are meant to climb each other.

The Yinshan base has been handed over to the military, here is a clear difference from before, under the combing of military experts, the most important aspects related to the future military development have been selected, the navy, the air force and the army, are all separate projects, the purpose is very strong, on the contrary, those important system projects, temporarily mothballed, to China's scientific and technological level to lay a certain foundation before opening.

However, after the integration of these key projects, in addition to the engine project, there are several individual projects, lack of necessary personnel, Yang Yuanzhao because of the interdisciplinary research, the research in these fields is not deep enough, can not take into account, and the current training of international students or scientists in the northwest, they may be able to become qualified station, as the person in charge of a discipline is a little bad.

It is easy to integrate it, but it has encountered such a problem, which makes the military quite unwilling, these projects, are a huge promotion of the military's separate system, any breakthrough in any aspect, will make the military strength of the northwest have a huge improvement, can not give up.

At this time, some people proposed to screen some foreign experts, choose some inclined to China, and then use the classification method to separate the individual items studied by each person, so that even if they are not Chinese, they can also use one and keep it confidential.

After several rounds of negotiations, especially after inquiring about the researchers of those projects on the spot, and getting a positive answer, the Yinshan base began to select the discipline and laboratory leaders, and after reporting to Yang Yuanzhao, he was a little surprised, but he still agreed.

After several rounds of selection and assessment by the military, 29 key scientists and 72 assistants were finally selected, and more than 100 foreigners became the first batch of foreigners to enter the Yinshan base. (To be continued.) )
