"What about our Kashgar garrison?"

Ma Xuanzhong looked at Ma Chongshan, who was in a hurry, and smiled: "Don't you need to transfer personnel for training and be the backbone of the business?" ”

Knowing the arrangement of his own boss, Ma Chongshan regretted fighting for this armored regiment a little......

"Dashan, don't worry, there is still a battle of Ah Sanguo on the other side, but he has been staring at us fiercely."

Zhou Xiangyu also comforted: "Sharpen the knife and don't cut the wood." ”

Ma Chongshan was still a little uneasy: "Then we have to talk about it." ”

"Then I'll write you a letter of guarantee, and in the future, you will fight Ah San, you are a pioneer, okay?"

"No need."

"That's right," Ma Xuanzhong patted Ma Chongshan, who was smirking beautifully, "Your object, I transferred you from Yumen to Kashgar, you have to take care of it." ”

Ma Chongshan was stunned for a moment, and his eyes widened and widened: "Boss, the jade gate has been dried up?" ”

Ma Xuanzhong glared at his old subordinate angrily: "You kid, can't you think of something good?" ”

"You're going to explore new oil fields?"

As he spoke, Ma Chongshan's eyes rolled and he looked at his boss: "Then, commander, can we add another armored regiment to our garrison division?" ”

"You're thinking beautifully!"

Ma Xuanzhong looked at Ma Chongshan happily: "Your garrison division is already a strengthened division, do you still want to go to heaven?" Plus an armored regiment, if it weren't for the big wrongs, you wouldn't even think about this armored brigade in preparation. Having an armored division is enough of a headache, and you still feel like making another one? ”

Ma Chongshan was a little afraid of his commander's smiling expression, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Then, an armored brigade will do." ”

"Look at your sloppy appearance, why don't you go back and clean up!"

"Yes...... Be...... It's ......"

Ma Chongshan looked at the commander with a straight face but a smile with a smile, got up and left......

Zhou Xiangyu looked at Ma Xuanzhong with some envy and a smile on his face: "You have a good relationship with your subordinates." ”

"When I went to Mongolia with Xu Shi, I picked up the stupid boy on the grassland......"

Looking at Ma Xuanzhong's face, I don't know whether it was nostalgia or regret, Zhou Xiangyu felt a little weak, a trace of loss, and maybe a trace of happiness......

The next day, the two families boarded a train heading east to Hotan.

On the train, Zhou Xiangyu, who thought he had studied geography well, noticed that the climate on the railway was a little abnormal: the train that should have been running on the edge of the desert did not feel the dryness of Aksu.

I thought I was delusional, but after asking Deng Wenshu and Sun Guangying, they both felt the same way.

A few hours later, the train entered the Kunlun Mountains.

The refreshing fresh air spreads into the cabin along the wide-open windows. Looking at the lush woods outside the car window, Zhou Xiangyu had the illusion that he was in the jungle of western Sichuan.

After passing through the Kunlun Mountains, the train arrived at its destination, Aksai Chin Lake at the southern foot of the Kunlun Mountains.

Looking at the vast lake in the distance, Zhou Xiangyu was a little surprised: if he hadn't miscalculated, the lake here might be bigger than Poyang Lake in Ganzhou......

Looking at Aksai Chin Lake, which has become the largest lake in China, Ma Xuanzhong was proud but also a little painful: In order to create such a large lake, the 10 construction corps in the northwest, hundreds of thousands of people, mobilized tens of thousands of tons of TNT and tens of thousands of construction vehicles, and only then did they open a hole at the junction of the Himalayas and the Karakoram Mountains that surround the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau......

Ma Xuanzhong can still clearly remember that the fuel consumed by construction machinery alone at that time was enough for his reinforced armored division to soar for a year......

Seeing Zhou Xiangyu staring at him, Ma Xuanzhong sighed: "The Tarim Basin was also a super-large lake in ancient times, otherwise there would be no legend of Dayu controlling the water." Later, the Himalayan Mountains were lifted by crustal movements, cutting off the basin's water vapor replenishment from the Indian Ocean, and the basin's lakes gradually shrank and became deserts. ”

Zhou Xiangyu pointed to the lake in the distance and looked at Zhou Xiangyu in surprise: "That ......"

"A few years ago, we took the opportunity to occupy Kashmir, and then we opened a gap from the border between the Himalayas and the Karakoram."

After listening to Ma Xuanzhong's introduction, the corners of Zhou Xiangyu's mouth twitched: Ma Xuanzhong, who is worthy of being wealthy, can do this kind of earth-shaking thing......

"So......" Ma Xuanzhong changed his words, "After solving the Japanese, we can only provide material support and some human support to the Chinese Communist Party. ”

With a solemn face, Zhou Xiangyu nodded: "We understand and support this matter." ”

Zhou Xiangyu lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and looked at Ma Xuanzhong: "Do you need the support of our Communist Party of China?" ”

Ma Xuanzhong smiled and shook his head: "You can understand, it's enough, we have almost done the preparatory work in the early stage, and we are just one time away." ”

Looking at Ma Xuanzhong, who was full of confidence, Zhou Xiangyu suddenly remembered the previous incident when he and Xikang Chairman Liu Ziqian sent the Ninth Panchen into Tibet, so he asked tentatively: "Mr. Ma, it seems that you have a good relationship with Xikang Chairman Liu Ziqian?" ”

Ma Xuanzhong nodded: "I have been friends for almost seven or eight years, and Liu Ziqian, that old boy, is quite good at getting things done." ”

Ma Xuanzhong's words solved a mystery in Zhou Xiangyu's heart: during the period of crossing the Jinsha River, the Red Army's luck was incredible; Now that I think about it, Liu Ziqian must have released the water; Ma Xuanzhong also made a lot of effort behind the scenes......

Zhou Xiangyu sighed and looked at Ma Xuanzhong who was smiling: "Thank you for your kindness!" ”

Sure enough, he is a flexible person, and he can understand it at one point, Ma Xuanzhong shook his head with a smile: "My old friend is a little timid, and he looks ahead and backwards in everything he does, I just reminded Liu Ziqian that I hope my old friend can have a good death." ”

There were words in the words, Zhou Xiangyu smiled and nodded: "Mr. Liu Ziqian is deeply blessed and will definitely live a long life." ”

Ma Xuanzhong arched his hand: "Then I will thank you in advance on behalf of my old brother." ”

"Mr. Ma, such a big project requires a lot of manpower and material resources, right?"

Ma Xuanzhong could hear the trace of regret in Zhou Xiangyu's tone, and shook his head with a smile: "Manpower is not a problem, when the project started, a large number of Jews came to the door, and they also brought their own food, so they didn't have to use it in vain; As for the material, mechanical, and explosives, if they are not used, they will not know the advantages and disadvantages and disadvantages, and there will be no improvement ......"

Ma Xuanzhong paused and looked at the mountain pass in the distance in the south: "Although the manpower and material resources used are very large, we have gained more, at least, our gunpowder, metallurgy, machinery and other industries have made great progress. ”

"Moreover," Ma Xuanzhong looked at Zhou Xiangyu thoughtfully, "It's very cost-effective to exchange the suffering of a moment for the sweetness of eternity." ”
