After Black Lotus became a reborn person, he went completely crazy

Chapter 583 Trans-Siberian Railway

In the following 14 years, more than 3500 million of our compatriots were killed or injured, 4200 million refugees were left homeless, and half of China was trampled by the iron hoof of the small life...

This South Manchuria Railway not only records the blood and tears of the people of Northeast China, but also witnesses the humiliating history of the Chinese nation.

We fought for it many times but failed, until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the railway returned to our country.

This is the big historical background.

……

Let’s talk about the earliest Trans-Siberian Railway.

Its existence completely connects the entire European part of the desert, Siberia and the Far East.

And as it was fully opened to traffic, it brought endless benefits to Tsarist Russia.

Amid the roar of trains, Siberia, once known as a desolate, cold, and exile land, has rapidly developed and grown thanks to the convenience brought by railway transportation.

It quickly became the main agricultural and animal husbandry base in Sha'e.

Around the time of the October Revolution (1917), its grain production even reached 17% of the country's total.

The reason why I mention this specifically is because it is also related to the subsequent disintegration of the Soviet Union.

We will talk about this in detail later.

Not to mention its industrial sector, areas such as coal mining, wood processing, metallurgy and the development of various minerals have all achieved great development.

Of course, its benefits are also reflected in many competitions with daily life.

At that time, the military strength of Sha'e was far stronger than that of Xiaozizu.

The reason why they have never gained much advantage is that the Far East is sparsely populated and the natural environment is harsh, so even fewer troops can come over.

Not to mention the military supplies, which simply cannot keep up.

With the existence of this railway trunk line, it can mobilize a large number of troops from Europe to the Far East front in a short period of time to fight against the small country and compete for territory and resources.

At the same time, it also played an important role in the victory of World War II (1939-1945), especially in dealing with the Hans Kingdom and defeating the Kwantung Army.

Later, relying on its unique geographical advantages, it quickly became the "golden channel" connecting Northeast Asia and the Asia-Pacific region.

It is considered the main artery of the Great Su (1922-1991). Whoever controls it controls the lifeline of the Great Su.

In September 1966, the first 9/1 train "Russ" departed from the then Bolshaya Sumsk.

This marks the official launch of this direct passenger train with the longest running distance, which is operated by the Moskva Railway Bureau.

The total length of this railway is 9288 kilometers.

Starting from Metsko in the west, it spans 8 time zones, 3 regions, 14 states, 2 republics, 90 cities, and ends in Vladivostok in the east. (All within the territory of Dasu)

It's like a giant steel dragon lying across the vast land.

There are trains departing from both starting points every day.

……

Then return to the Fen River estuary.

Since the opening of the Middle East Railway, Fenhe has been opened to trade.

Envoys and merchants from 18 countries including Sha'e and Xiao Rizi gathered here, bringing not only their goods but also their culture.

Using this place as a fulcrum, they successively established their own consulates in Harbin, all hoping to find opportunities in this area and get a piece of the pie.

At the same time, Fenhe Port was also the main hub transit station for the Communist International’s underground transportation station.

With it as the center, many underground red transportation lines have been formed.

For example, the "Shanghai - Harbin - Fenhe - Vladivostok" line was established earlier, lasted the longest, and played a more important role.

Its existence made an indelible contribution to the successful convening of the Sixth National Congress of the Communist Party of China (1928).

In fact, people have started barter trade at Fenhe Port since 1987.

There are several ports like this where bartering can take place in the Northeast, such as Dongning, Heihe, Mohe, etc.

And all the cities are larger than this one, but none of them are as convenient and fast as this one.

Another main reason why Xia Ran chose this place is that there is no need to apply for a border pass here.

It was cancelled several years ago, so people from other places can save a lot of trouble when they come here.

This is not possible in other places, as they do not have this convenience.

Moreover, not only people can pass through here, but also goods can pass through at the same time.

At the same time, it has both railways and roads. No matter how you look at it, this is Xia Ran’s best choice at the moment.

Going west, you can take the international train K19 from the capital in Harbin, pass through Manzhouli to the current Dasu, pass through Chita, Novosibirsk and other places, and end in Moskovsk.

Go east through the port and directly enter the Soviet city of Gecheng, Vladivostok and other places.

The 1/2 Ross special train, which departs from Vladivostok, can still go directly to Moscow.

This place means that you can attack or defend, and you can do whatever is convenient for you.

Therefore, Fenhe City is also known as the city brought by trains.

-

Lao Peng and Chengzi took Train No. 56, which goes directly from Shanghai to Harbin.

The hard sleeper ticket costs 142 yuan and it takes more than 30 hours to arrive.

Wang Jun and all the rest of the people were busy packing the goods and loading them onto the truck. They planned to take a train tomorrow morning and personally take the goods to Harbin.

We have booked four train cars for this trip and will send one over to test the waters first.

After Xia Ran passed on the news that the company would provide food.

I took the direct express train No. 14 from Shanghai to the capital at : pm alone.

Until she left, she had not received any news from Liu Damei and Qu Chaoyang regarding their need for legal assistance or lawsuits for compensation.

Xia Ran completely let the matter go.

After getting on the bus, Xia Ran lay on the lower bunk and read with great interest a newly bought book introducing the history and customs of Dasu.

By the time Xia Ran noticed, two women and two men had already entered the carriage.

Xia Ran was sure that three of them were not from the same group. They were all talkative and soon started chatting with each other.

The remaining man, as soon as he got on the bus, lay on the upper bunk like Xia Ran, without saying a word, and kept rubbing his face and forehead with his hands.

His expression was very serious, and it was obvious that he had encountered some difficult problem.

Everyone was talking loudly, so Xia Ran put away the book and dozed off with his head resting on his arms.

Through the conversation among these three people, Xia Ran learned that the youngest girl was a junior student at a university in Shanghai.

Go to the capital to visit your partner.

The woman in her thirties went to the capital to visit relatives. Her eldest sister was married in the capital and invited her to visit.

The other talkative man was on a business trip to the capital.

Soon, this little girl named Jiaojiao began to tell everyone about her touching love story.

Her lover was her high school classmate and they were both from Zhengzhou.

Her boyfriend didn’t do well in the exam in the first year, so he took another year of tutoring. He started college one year later than her and was eventually admitted to the capital.

It was the little girl herself who confessed first.

In the three years since they confirmed their relationship, she has been the one who took the initiative to visit him, and she has saved up a lot of money for train tickets alone.

When the little girl talks about her boyfriend, the light in her eyes is dazzling.
