Chapter 934 Western Expeditionary Army

After arranging Nanxiong's funeral, Wu Changqing returned to Xinfeng and continued to inspect.

In Nanxiong, he also lost his temper, expressing his attitude towards corrupt officials.

Perhaps in the next few months, corrupt officials all over the country will be scared to restrain themselves.

However, it won't be long before they return to their original shape.

Those corrupt officials cannot be frightened by scaring alone.

But other than that, he didn't have a better way. In such a big world, there must always be someone to govern it.

In fact, it is not feasible to design one or two monitoring systems.

Governing the country requires calculating the cost. If every remote town has to send an inspection agency, the annual financial and human resources will be huge.

If there are more officials, the financial pressure will be greater, and the salaries of officials will be lower, and then they will be more greedy.

To solve this problem, in fact, it still depends on the development of technology.

When telephones and telegrams are popularized in places like Nanxiong, it will be much easier to supervise and report, and those remote places will be less afraid to mess around.

At least, I dare not be so blatant, nor dare to go too far.

In fact, all problems, in the final analysis, are still the problem of not having enough wealth.

Therefore, the best way to solve the problem is to develop.

As long as common prosperity is achieved, even if there are corrupt officials, at least the impact on the poor will not be so great, and it will not lead to the tragedy of abandoning babies.

Just like there are still corrupt officials in later generations, but because of the huge amount of wealth, the life of ordinary people is much better than that of the ancients after all.

After much deliberation, the last solution Wu Changqing could think of was to speed up the pace of development.

And this is what he has been doing.

Wu Changqing stopped briefly in Ganzhou, Ji'an, and Xinyu. The development of these places is not very good.

He was not satisfied until Nanchang.

As the provincial capital of Jiangxi, Nanchang was one of the first cities to be supported.

Relying on abundant and cheap human resources, Nanchang has done a good job in attracting investment.

A lot of capital has taken a fancy to the low wages and easy satisfaction of the workers here, so they come here to set up factories.

Some greedy people even signed contracts with those workers for five to ten years, or even longer, to exploit them vigorously.

Even so, there are still people rushing to sign.

Whether a slave contract is still a high-paying job depends on the score.

Putting this contract to future generations, it is a proper slave contract. But in the present, it still makes sense.

Wu Changqing didn't stop it after he knew it. If he stipulated minimum wages, or workers' protection, the capital might be withdrawn, which would not be a good thing for Nanchang's development.

In short, we have to take our time and increase productivity is the key.

At the same time, the formation of Dahua's second armored force was completed, and Hao Bowen's expeditionary force was also completed.

This expeditionary force has a total of more than 30,000 people, including 5,000 cavalry, 8,000 armored divisions, 10,000 infantry, and about 7,000 other artillery and logistics engineers.

The core force among them is naturally the Second Armored Division.

Unlike the first armored division, the second armored division reduced the proportion of armored vehicles and increased the number of transport vehicles.

Because they don't need too many armored vehicles, their firepower is enough to deal with all threats.

However, the journey to Europe is far away, and a lot of supplies are needed, especially gasoline and bullets, which cannot be collected locally and must be transported from China.

Therefore, they did not simply go to war this time. They also had another task, to build a road from Dahua to Moscow.

The expeditionary army cleared the way ahead, and the people from the Ministry of Communications escorted the prisoners to build the road. It is not difficult to build a road that is convenient for cars.

If it is to repair the railway, the project will be huge.

As soon as this plan was proposed, it was rejected by Wu Changqing.

He knew how difficult it was to build this railway, and he also knew how many people died while building this railway.

Although this railway will play a decisive role in the development of Siberia once it is completed, he still feels that the gains outweigh the losses.

The Western Expeditionary Army marched westward all the way, and in Irkutsk, they met the Eastern Expeditionary Army of Tsarist Russia.

Irkutsk, the big Chinese called it Beihai City, because Irkutsk is next to Lake Baikal.

Lake Baikal is the largest freshwater lake on the Eurasian continent, and it is also the deepest freshwater lake. The deepest part can reach more than 1,600 meters, which is deeper than many seas. It is not wrong to call it the North Sea.

"Su Kefu, this is Dahua's army, a little different from what you said?"

Kolovsky, the commander of the Tsarist Russian Expeditionary Force, asked a person next to him. This person was a soldier in the first expeditionary force. He escaped the pursuit of the Chinese army and fled all the way back to Moscow.

For this expedition, Kolovsky specially brought Su Kefu with him. After all, he has experience and knows the Far East and Dahua's army.

Of course, this is what Sukov said, and now Kolovsky has some doubts.

Because Su Kefu didn't mention what those cuboid iron bumps were, nor did he mention the three-wheeled thing.

"Commander, there was no such thing in the army we fought with last time, I swear."

Su Kefu quickly swore, trying to prove that this was none of his business.

"Then do you know what that is?"

Kolovsky asked.

The sentinel just now told him that Dahua's army has some iron carts that can move by themselves, and the speed is very fast, which surprised him a little.

Those who fight the war least like unknown things, which represent accidents.

Su Kefu shook his head, which made Kolovsky very helpless.

"Commander, whoever he is, just kill him."

said one of the subordinates.

Even if the previous expeditionary force lost to Dahua, some of these people still don't take Dahua seriously.

"I think it's better to be cautious. Dahua's army is quite strong, especially their guns are very advanced, and they shoot fast and far."

After all, Su Kefu had fought against Dahua, so he didn't dare to underestimate Dahua's strength.

While they were discussing, another sentry came in and reported that Dahua had begun to move towards them, as if preparing to launch an attack.

When they discovered Huajun, Huajun also discovered them.

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet each other, there is no need to say much, just do it.

"It seems that we don't need to worry about it anymore, let's meet the enemy."

Kolovsky said.

"These big Chinese are quite confident, so we have to teach them a lesson."

"These big Chinese are unique in the East, maybe they are used to arrogance."

 …

The Chinese army is invincible in the east, and the Tsarist Russian army is also invincible in Siberia. Therefore, their mentality is actually similar, and they all look down on each other.
