When one place occupies the sky, one place occupies an advantageous area, and it is not realistic for both to develop, this Heilongjiang is not economically developed, and if it is scattered, it will be more difficult to rise.

With this question, Wang Maoru asked Chu Yong for inquiry. Chu Yong is now the deputy director of the Provincial Planning Department, and he became the deputy director at the age of twenty-seven. The head of this planning department is an old official in the province and an old man of the Kuomintang, with sufficient qualifications but mediocre ability. Since the provincial government was reorganized into 24 departments, the original old yamen has also been transferred to the current planning department. The old hall chief was old and didn't understand urban planning, so he made a haha, nodded the hall director, and handed over all the big and small things to Chu Yong. Chu Yong is also young and strong, knowing that this old man is pushing the responsibility of the task to himself, and is ready to see himself make a fool of himself. But Chu Yong knew in his heart that something was wrong, and he was the first person to talk to Wang Maoru, so he must be fine, but this old man retired after a few years.

After listening to Wang Maoru's hesitation, Chu Yong said with a smile: "There are pros and cons in two places, depending on what the marshal thinks, is the ambition of the marshal in the four eastern provinces or Outer Mongolia?" ”

Wang Maoru was curious, how Chu Yong knew his idea of fighting Outer Mongolia, so he asked him how he guessed.

Chu Yong smiled and said confidently: "Governor Ma once told me last year that Dashuai would build a railway, and establish three large railway lines in Hulunbuir that run through the east, west, north and south, respectively. It is understandable to go south to north. But going west can only show that the marshal is bent on recapturing Outer Mongolia and connecting Inner and Outer Mongolia with railways. ”

Wang Maoru said that he worked cunningly and cunningly, and Chu Yong continued: "If the marshal wants to compete for the four eastern provinces, the heavy industry base and arsenal are naturally built in Qiqihar, and if the target is Outer Mongolia, it is better to build in Hulun. I had to build yì was built in Qiqihar, which is far away from the interference of the Russians and is the easiest to develop. So far, the marshal wants to retake Outer Mongolia unless Russia is defeated by Germany. But the European war is in full swing, and it is really unknown who will win. ”

Chu Yong naturally did not know that there would be the February Revolution and the October Revolution in Russia, and to be honest, even Germany and Japan, which promoted the Russian Revolution. Nor would they have imagined that the revolution they promoted would bring such a big change to the world. Nowadays, the workers' movement is in full swing all over the world, and it can be said that the struggle for rights, equality, and interests has become a fashionable topic, and young people all over the world are chasing this ideal country, the idealism of the Bolsheviks. When the Bolsheviks seized power in Russia, the working class all over the world celebrated, and this led countries to pay attention to this force that they had not cared about before. And this force is like the spread of cancer cells. Spreading all over the world, it has given ordinary people all over the world a direction.

In the end, Hulunbuir is chosen, or Qiqihar, Hulunbuir, Outer Mongolia, Qiqihar, and the entire Northeast. If you want to go to Mongolia, you are the hero who opened up the territory, and if you want the Northeast, you will have the opportunity to compete with Zhang Zuolin for the king of the Northeast in the future. If you become the king of the Northeast. Ensure that the Northeast is not plundered by Japan, then it is very likely that Japan will shift its future strategic direction to the Soviet Union! Yes, let the persecution of Japan only face the Soviet Union! Why did Zhang Zuolin fail, because Zhang Zuolin wanted to unify China and led an army of 200,000 out of the customs. Wang Maoru does not like to fight civil wars. If he became the king of the Northeast, he would never be on the side with a sharp blade behind his back. Rushed out of the customs to compete for the whole country. A lesson in blood, a lesson in blood. As a traveler, Wang Maoru will never make the mistake of Lao Zhang. He thought about it for more than ten minutes, swaying left and right to weigh the pros and cons, and then concluded: "Just build Qiqihar." In the future, Qiqihar will be a key development area, and our heavy industry base will be built around Qiqihar. Chu Yong, now you plan the path of future development for Qiqihar, of course, the first thing you need to do now is to find a piece of feng shui treasure land and make it the site of the arsenal. ”

"Yes."

After a busy day, Wang Maoru had to accompany Tang Shaoyi to dine and chat in the evening, and Tang Shaoyi took his leave after receiving Wang Maoru's promise to greet him for a few days.

Although Wang Maoru received telegrams from Yuzhuo and Yucicada every day asking him to return to Hulunbuir, he could not go home to visit his wife and children. Because although he was recognized by the Beiyang government, he had not yet been recognized by the Russians and Japanese. According to the arrogant personality of the Russians, they were naturally waiting for him to visit, and the Japanese forces did not involve this place for the time being, and the order was placed later.

Wang Maoru asked people to prepare gifts and personally went to the Eastern Railway Bureau of Binjiang Province to visit Horvat, director of the Eastern Railway Bureau.

Horvat, whose full name is Dimitri? Leonidevich? Horvat. Born in an old aristocratic family in the city of Kremingchug, Poltava Province, Russia, Ukraine. After graduating from the Nikolaevsk Engineering School in 1878, he was sent to combat units as a second lieutenant. Participated in the Russian-Turkish war. In 1885, he was sent to Central Asia to build the Trans-Caspian Railway, and later served as director of the Central Asia and Ussuri Railway. Because his wife and mother were related to the Empress of Tsarist Russia, he was highly used. In July 1903, after the official opening of the Eastern Railway, he was appointed by the Tsar as the director of the Eastern Railway Administration and the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Railway Escort Army. He began with the rank of colonel and was later promoted to lieutenant general. During his tenure, he established a civil administration in the annex of the Eastern Railway, that is, the so-called autonomous city system, and in 1908 established an autonomous council and a board of directors in Harbin, turning Harbin and the annex of the Eastern Railway into a colony of Tsarist Russia.

Horvath is a Russian nobleman, naturally maintaining the arrogant attitude of the Russians, whether you Chinese are emperors or warlords, in front of my Great Tsarist Russia, all are nothing. He did not have a good relationship with the Russian ambassador to China, Kupenschi. Born into a family of intellectuals, he received a higher education, and he worked hard to get through the ranks, and was a typical politician. Horvat, on the other hand, was born in the aristocracy, a military rank, and was born in the military. Because of this, the relationship between the two is not good, and they don't like each other.

Wang Maoru visited and handed over a letter of introduction from Kupenszi, which was good, but Horvat was missing. Wang Maoru was also angry, now that I am the overseer of a province, you are still so bullish, what are you angry, turned around and led the team to leave Binjiang Mansion.

"Arrogant Chinese!" Horvath knew that after Wang Maoru returned, he was furious, and he didn't know who was arrogant.

The Russians are arrogant, but the Japanese are cunning, and the Japanese side actually sent Major General Sadao Araki, the senior special envoy of the Japanese War Department to Russia.

This Araki Sadao was the biggest promoter of Japan's transformation from an empire to a militaristic state, and he was also an expert on Russia, but he did not support the Japanese Kwantung Army's action against Zhang Zuolin, believing that it should encroach on the Feng army, rather than anger the Feng army - in fact, if it were not for Zhang Xueliang's failure to become a climate, the recklessness of the Kwantung Army almost ruined the Japanese General Staff's plan to first Manchuria and then China. Sadao Araki is a strategist as well as a conspirator. He maintained the politeness that the Japanese learned from the Tang people, and when he met Wang Maoru, he was polite and polite, and he also expressed great praise for Wang Maoru's books and poems. Moreover, Sadao Araki discussed Wang Maoru's views on Japan's development, and consulted Wang Maoru on the direction that Japan wants to develop.

Wang Maoru naturally wouldn't let them attack China, so he led the trouble to the east, and said: "If Japan wants to develop, it can send troops to occupy Australia, New Zealand, and Java, and in these three places, Australia's population is one-fiftieth of Japan's, one's army is one-thirtieth of Japan's, and its navy is even one percent of Japan's!" No, not just one percent, or even one percent of Japan! And what about the territory of Australia? Australia's territory covers an area of 7.61 million square kilometers, 80 percent of Australia's territory is grassland, and mineral deposits are the richest, largest, and most complete in the world. In addition, Australia has the most underdeveloped oil and coal mines in Japan, which really makes me feel tempted. ”

Sadao Araki exclaimed: "Australia has oil? ”

Wang Maoru asked rhetorically: "Doesn't the general know that Australia has hundreds of millions of cubic meters of oil fields?" The general may not know that my first pot of gold in the United States was digging oil fields, right? I sent my staff around the world to search for oil fields, and I found a huge oil field in Australia......"

Speaking of this, Wang Maoru stopped talking, and Sadao Araki hurriedly asked: "What is this...... Are you sure? Are you sure? ”

Wang Maoru staggered the topic and said: "General, drink and drink, for the sake of the neighbors of China and Japan, and for the friendship between the two countries, drink and drink." ”

Sadao Araki still has the heart to drink, now oil is liquid gold, Japan does not produce oil, and Japan's automobiles, ships, especially oil tankers have been developed, although the technology of oil tankers is incomplete, but people of insight in Japan believe that it is a matter of time before oil tankers replace coal tankers. It's just that Japan doesn't produce oil, and China -- and even more so -- North Korea -- still doesn't produce oil. Knowing that there were still undeveloped oil fields in Australia, how could Sadao Araki be willing, but he could see that Wang Maoru was using information as a bargaining chip in exchange for Japan's support.

On behalf of the Japanese side, Sadao Araki congratulated Wang Maoru on his appointment as the overseer of Heilongjiang and then returned to Kwantung Prefecture (Dalian), and this initial meeting also aroused great interest in Wang Maoru among the Japanese. They also began to hesitate whether to invest in Zhang Zuolin, who was a gangster, or Wang Maoru, who had a military armor in his chest.

Zhang Kuian returned to Qiqihar with Han Linchun, which hired Han Linchun was extremely smooth, it turned out that Han Linchun had long been dissatisfied with Xu Shuzheng, an important member of the Ruiwan Department, and Xu Shuzheng promoted him from the director of the Ordnance Department to the staff as a counselor in the way of open promotion and secret descent. Han Linchun served as the director of the Ordnance Department for only half a year, and as soon as Yuan Shikai died, he became a lamb to be slaughtered like Yuan Keding, how could he be convinced. When I came to Qiqihar this time, I also saw that Wang Maoru could tolerate Yuan Keding, and treated the old Beiyang Department as always, so he gave up the major general counselor and came to Qiqihar to show his skills.
