Russia, the Middle East, Australia, this is a large-scale territory, for the current China, after owning 22 million square kilometers of land, the appetite for land is far less than the previous desire, even if China's population in the future increases to the future of 1.4 billion, or even 2 billion, such a huge territory, is enough for 2.1 billion people, but a little crowded.

China's 9.6 million square kilometers of land is enough to accommodate 1.4 billion people, and the land has increased by half, and most of it is still rich in grain, and China's grain pressure will be reduced to a minimum in the future.

The most important thing is that at present, China has passed the level of needing to destroy the environment to be able to obtain funds, and with the advanced level of productivity in the northwest, five years is enough for China to complete this process of accumulation. At this time in the northwest of China, the environment has not deteriorated to the future, irreversible degree, and got Lake Baikal, which occupies one-sixth of the world's surface runoff of the huge water system, China's northwest after a part of the adjustment, there will be no shortage of water, in this way, the ecological environment of the Loess Plateau may be reversed, Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia, the two steppes, after combining the integrated governance of Siberia, will inevitably be green and lush.

China has never thought of completely changing the environment, for example, the original suitable for grass planting is cultivated land, or the cold coniferous forest is turned into tropical broad-leaved forest, which violates the laws of nature and will be ************, but only within the scope of influence, increase vegetation, so as to harmonize the whole of China's natural environment. It's just getting started now, and we'll spare no effort to do it in the future.

Maybe it's inertia. In terms of the choice of the army, it is natural to choose several places with large land. Needless to say, the Arabian Peninsula is the largest peninsula in the world, the Arabian Peninsula has more than 3 million square kilometers of land, but what attracts China is the oil below, if they don't have oil, even if the location is important, it is just a barren land, 3.2 million square kilometers of Arabia. Most of it is the barren Arabian Desert, 2.25 million square kilometers of Arabian Desert, which is a barren land that is inaccessible to people.

Another target, Australia, was the first to attract China to minerals, and it is undeniable that more than 7 million square kilometers of land was a natural choice, and there was an argument in later generations that in the large-scale maritime expeditions that began almost simultaneously in the East and the West. The West was lucky, they crossed the Atlantic, found the Americas, and a new era began. The vast mineral deposits of the Americas have supported the development of the West for centuries.

The New World in the East, which should be Australia. The conditions here are even better than in the Americas, what can be said about the Americas. There were dynasties established by the Indians, and the Western colonizers used no small amount of energy. Only to occupy it, but in Australia, where the natives are almost negligible, Zheng He went to the Western Ocean, the farthest has reached the Red Sea, and most of the countries in Southeast Asia have entered, but did not go further along Southeast Asia, which has to be said to be a sadness.

Now, under the premise that the vast majority of the world's powers are involved in Europe, the possibility of taking Australia has greatly increased, and as for Australia's own strength, it is completely negligible, with a population of millions, tens of millions, how many troops can be mobilized, as for the navy, its own strength is not strong, and most of it has been transferred by Britain, and it cannot resist China's troops.

In the plan of the General Staff, these two goals are the biggest goals in 1916 and even 1917, the only difference is that the Arabian Peninsula is dominated by Lanfang, although the current Lanfang regular army is less than 2 million, but if it is vigorously recruited, it can exceed 4 million, which should be 1 million, or even more natives, compared to the number of young and middle-aged Chinese, the number of natives is more, most of the old and weak women and children, can not stand the harsh oppression, and the proportion of young and strong people who can survive is large. In addition, the natives do not have to do anything else, workers, peasants, and even other professions do not have the share of the natives, and their only way out is to become soldiers.

Being a soldier can upgrade their grade, upgrade their level, reach the level of ordinary citizens, children can be educated, family members can participate in work, in the booming Lanfang, there are many opportunities to work, and the tradition of high salary in the northwest also allows them to live well.

Survival is always the biggest motivation, for these natives, this is the only chance to change their fate, therefore, the successive soldiers, before participating in the German mercenaries, now, Lan Fang has expanded the conscription quota, of course, will actively participate.

Lanfang and China, after the Entente declared war, although they did not merge directly, but they have been close to each other in terms of organizational structure, and have made many preparations before, such as preventing Lanfang from becoming independent, because Lanfang has been established for a short time and has not yet been shown, China's strength, and subtle education, so that all Chinese have their hearts towards China, as long as in the future, a referendum is held at a suitable time, Lanfang can be immediately incorporated into China.

Russia, the Arabian Peninsula, Australia, these are just the current options, if you occupy all of these, China's land area will exceed 30 million, which is a huge number, the whole of Asia is only 44 million square kilometers of land, China will really become a land superpower when the time comes, and the huge population, as long as the Chinese live stably for a few years, can be doubled, after all, according to the current whole of China, the birth rate is as high as 23%, that is, there are a quarter of families, Will have a baby in this year.

China's perfect maternity leave and maternity allowance have made such things commonplace, and in itself, most families, it is normal to have a child in three or four years, plus the mortality rate has been reduced from about 17% per year to less than 4%, and the annual increase in population is about 20%, as long as this number is stabilized, in 5 years, China's population can be doubled.

In fact, 1908 to 1912 is not significant, after all, the security policy has not completely fallen on everyone, the fertility rate is almost the same, but the mortality rate is high, 13% of the mortality rate makes the actual growth rate only six or seven percent, all disaster years and war years, the mortality rate will rise, before the establishment of China, the average life expectancy is only less than 45 years old, but with the pace of the unification of China in the northwest, China's average life expectancy is greatly increased, The population is also growing like a snowball, only from 1915 to 1916, in 12 months, China added 74 million new babies, with a comprehensive growth rate of more than 15%, which is still incomplete statistics, because not every newborn has the opportunity to be registered at birth, which is basically about the same as the growth rate.

Continuous baby surge, as long as it continues, 20 years later, when China's new generation of babies grow up, the huge territory will be stable, but this premise is that China must win the First World War, only to become the winner of the First World War, and the kind of strong winner, can suppress the desire of other countries in a short time, as long as the smooth passage of 15-20 years, the Chinese population increases by about 3 times, the new generation grows up, can control such a large area of land, It will take at least 40 years to be as stable as Mount Tai.

This is fast enough, unlike Southeast Asia and Siberia, which are bordered by China, and China can easily include them in China's protective circle, Australia and Arabia are a bit like enclaves, and they must withstand endless threats before they can really occupy this land.

This is the only opportunity to get the Middle East and Australia, the huge oil resources in the Middle East, Australia's various metal mines, that is the basis for China's take-off in the future, and it cannot be let go at all.

Oil and minerals, is the next 20 years, even a hundred years, restricting the country's development of the key resources, China's huge land area, the world's largest population, the future will be a great growth, for steel, oil and other resources consumption, is also huge, so two not far from China, are in Asia and near Asia huge resource production area, if not in their own hands, it is simply a crime.

China, the first batch of 1 million troops to go abroad to fight has been selected, they will be led by Cai Yi, to Southeast Asia, first to the vicinity of East Timor, that is the closest place to Australia on Guawa Island, only a short distance from Australia, as early as after Lanfang controlled Southeast Asia, in the construction of Southeast Asia, Borneo and Malacca are the focus, but East Timor is the most important place outside the focus, all of which are for military purposes, enough to accommodate the arrival of the huge Chinese army, The Timor-Leste military port, which is under construction, is also large enough to accommodate more than 50,000 tons of battleships.

All this, close to Australia do not know, the reason is very simple, the current development of Australia, are concentrated near Sydney, that is, the east near the Pacific Ocean, in the west, there are few cities, even in later generations, but also after the gradual discovery of minerals in the west, only to build a large number of cities, here is an excellent springboard.

At present, China's strategic goal is, of course, to be based in Asia, at most to Oceania, in the future, when China is strong, or even after the layout in Asia, it will definitely set foot in Europe, or even the Americas, compete for territory and so on, maybe it will be done, or it may not be done, but all the islands in the Pacific Ocean will be the choice after taking the Middle East and Australia.
