#614 - The Japs' grand strategy

Compared to the intense war situation at the front lines, the areas around Xi'an, which were most heavily influenced by the Streaming Cloud Sect, and even the entire Guanzhong region, appeared much more stable.

Especially within Xi'an city, even though it wasn't far from the front lines, it hadn't been disturbed by any warfare. Even the reconnaissance planes of the little devils didn't dare to venture within a hundred miles of its surroundings.

Precisely because of this, a large number of eastern residents and merchants began to move their families and households here to seek refuge.

With the war situation at hand, this undoubtedly increased the pressure on the Guanzhong region to some extent, but it also promoted its prosperity.

Although Liang Yue had stated beforehand that he wouldn't participate in the domestic war, this didn't mean that he did nothing during this period.

In addition to his daily cultivation and research into creating new techniques, this fellow had actually long since instructed the intelligent entity, Xiao Wu, to make plans, recruit workers on a large scale, and start up the related industries under the Streaming Cloud Sect at full capacity.

His goal was to help Huaxia establish a complete modern industrial system and related production chains before he finished his experiences and left the current DC world.

Unlike the original historical development trajectory, the Mao Bear at this time had been completely ruined by him, not only divided into north and south, but also with greatly reduced national strength.

Liang Yue himself had destroyed no less than three million of the Bear family's troops before and after. Under such hatred, it was unlikely that the Rabbit would receive this series of support from the Mao Bear as before.

Moreover, the Mao Bear, now in a state of division, was also facing a strong offensive from the south.

Whether it could survive under the Führer's blitzkrieg was still unknown.

Under such circumstances, Liang Yue obviously wouldn't place his hopes on such an awkward political country.

He naturally had to bear the burden of the mess he had created himself~

As the saying goes, where there are people, there is a world, and where there are people, there is eating, drinking, and shitting~

Especially when there are more people, the consumption of various resources increases.

With the gradual implementation of a complete industrial system, the vast Guanzhong region had begun to show signs of prosperity several years ago.

A large number of people and talents from all over the country gathered here.

The emergence of this situation naturally promoted the prosperity and development of the region, but the consumption in the meantime was indeed not small.

Taking the various necessities such as grain, vegetables, meat, eggs, and milk as examples, the daily supply was a huge number.

This was obviously a considerable problem in the Republic of China, where material resources were not abundant.

Fortunately, Liang Yue had anticipated this and had already started preparing for it more than a decade ago…

In addition to reclaiming new fields and hiring farmers and homeless people to help with farming, he also established a number of fertilizer plants, large-scale chicken, duck, and pig farms in the surrounding areas.

Later, Liang Yue also specially established a pasture on the northern grasslands, and recruited local herders to help with grazing and management, which had already seen results.

In addition, further north, on the vast Xuanwu Lake, a large number of lake fish would be caught ashore with the help of professionals every winter.

In this era, transportation was a major problem, but for Liang Yue, it was not so. In just one round trip, he could bring back at least hundreds of thousands of tons of harvest.

However, this was obviously not a long-term solution.

Therefore, Liang Yue had been discussing with Baldy for many years to build a railway directly from Xi'an to Xuanwu Lake.

Unfortunately, the administrative efficiency of those people in the south was too low, and there was still no charter to this day…

In the past few years, some speculative merchants and gentry, either because they felt there was profit to be made, or to please him.

They barely opened a trade route northward from the Mongolian grasslands. Although the road was narrow and tortuous, it could directly lead to Xuanwu Lake.

Specially engaged in the business of various types of wood, herbs, and fur from hunted beasts, it was also doing well.

Seeing this, Liang Yue simply took some time out to widen this trade route.

From the original small road that could barely accommodate two carriages side by side, it was directly opened into a hard soil road surface that could accommodate eight cars running side by side.

As a result, the once deserted Xuanwu Lake has recently begun to have pioneers stationed and gathered.

However, the lake is very large, and it was called the North Sea in ancient times. Most of those people are concentrated on the south bank, and are still a long distance away from the Zhenbei City established by Liang Yue.

… …

In this way, unknowingly, the time has come to 1940.

In this year, the world situation is changing rapidly. Not only is Huaxia shrouded in war, but the European continent, which is deeply harmed by the aftermath of the economic crisis, is also involved in another fierce war.

The scale of the war and the scope of its impact are even greater than the previous one.

To the extent that even many countries that are not within the European scope have expressed their positions on this war and have begun to choose sides one after another.

During this period, Japan's choice was very interesting.

Originally, according to the actual situation they faced, and the degree of support from Britain, France and other countries to the island country in this world, joining the Anglo-French alliance would undoubtedly be a logical choice.

However, perhaps because Huaxia has become stronger now, the Japanese simply cannot see the hope of conquering the mainland.

So, after some weighing, they still resolutely threw themselves into the embrace of the Axis powers as in history.

And with the passage of time, the devils' main energy and core strategy have also shifted from Huaxia, and they have begun to invest heavily in the Philippines, Indonesia and other regions.

In recent years, in the more distant southern hemisphere region, there have even been reports and news of bloody conflicts between a large number of Japanese immigrants and local forces in the Kangaroo Country.

Liang Yue can clearly observe from the panoramic sand table that Japan is constantly dispatching domestic troops and warships to station on the southern islands of Indonesia.

Then, they are building military facilities on a large scale, hoarding troops, and trying to control the islands at sea, while also harassing the Kangaroo Country's fishing boats in the relevant sea areas.

I have to say, the devils in this era are really not willing to be lonely~

But such a small island country, if it really wants to take advantage of the situation to rise and get rid of its own predicament, they really have to take the initiative to open up a large enough and rich enough development space.

Otherwise, facing the global wave that is coming, what awaits them can only be a fate of being controlled by others, lingering on, and constantly intensifying internal conflicts…

Now that Liang Yue is in charge of Huaxia, it is basically impossible to forcibly occupy it.

The purpose of Britain, France and other countries in supporting Japan is to have them contain Huaxia.

But the problem is that, facing Liang Yue, such a inexplicably running out of the character, Britain and France have failed themselves, and they are afraid.

Still expect the Japanese to work for them?

The devils are obviously not that stupid~

So, knowing that it cannot be done, they turned to declare war on the Allied countries such as Britain and France, and stood with the Axis countries.

Turning around to plunder those colonies, spheres of influence, and even the lands of the British Commonwealth that originally belonged to Britain and France is a feasible strategy.

Among them, the Second European War has already contained most of the energy of Britain, France and other countries. The intensity of the war is rare in the world. Those powers have no time to take care of him now.

And Huaxia itself has a large enough territory, and now it has to add such a large wasteland and forest in North Asia.

So the devils think that Huaxia has no great interest in continuing to expand its territory, especially in the absence of naval power, to carry out overseas expansion.

The only variable left is the United States…
