Since the establishment of the Northwest, Yang Yuanzhao has brought statistics to the Northwest. Not only in daily work, but also in some special military plans, it is also inseparable from statistics.

Scientifically analyzing the abilities of both parties, giving a certain margin and elastic space, and determining the strength of the other party in a relatively narrow order of magnitude will have an excellent effect in most of the time.

Although this is sometimes very mechanical, it can be used to come up with necessary and scientific alternatives for the generals to choose, which can reduce unnecessary losses. There are only a few famous generals with great talent. When the order of science reaches a certain level, various accidents can be reduced.

After taking over Jiaozhou Bay, before Germany had completely exchanged, when it reached a monthly decision with the Northwest, that is, two or three months ago, the Northwest had already obtained the civilian leadership of Jiaozhou Bay. Statistics and investigations were also underway. With some statistics done by Northwest before, soon, the current situation in Shandong had already appeared in front of every staff officer in the General Staff.

The staff members of more than 3,000 were divided into 12 groups. Based on the 12 possibilities listed by the staff, a series of deductions and calculations were carried out. Various manuscripts and deductions were piled up into mountains, and one useful plan was sent to the hands of the senior management by these staff members.

As a place with more northwest strategies, Shandong has built more than 2,000 kilometers of railway lines. The hub cities on these railway lines are all new cities built in the northwest. The north is different from the south. The south focuses on economy and transportation, while the north pays more attention to protection. The new cities in the north are relatively larger. When taking into account the economics, colleagues who also consider the relationship between future wars. The entire city is about a square with a side length of about 3 kilometers. They are all composed of reinforced concrete. After the war comes, if necessary arrangements are made, you can travel one by one sturdy fortress.

According to the information obtained by the Northwest, Shandong has a total of 12 such new cities, currently hosting a population of 6 million.

Shandong in the late Qing Dynasty could be said to be a province with a large population. According to the first population census in the late Qing Dynasty from 1909 to 1910, there were more than 370 million people in the country, Sichuan and China ranked second, with a population of more than 50 million, with Shandong ranking second, with a total population of 31 million. Of course, the backward Qing Dynasty had many hidden residents and refugees. In this way, Shandong's population should increase by 10 to 20%.

However, there are not so many people in Shandong now. After the rise of the northwest, the population gap of powerful industries is almost endless. From the Baotou Industrial Zone, to the three western provinces and one special zone, to the entire northwest half of the country, and even Mongolia, Qinghai, Xinjiang, which has just been occupied, these vast lands and sparsely populated places. In the face of the powerful industry in the northwest, it has become a place that can be developed. In terms of land, it has increased several times compared to the statistics in the late Qing Dynasty.

There are shortages of people everywhere, industry, agriculture, and even some management, tertiary industries, and even workers' wives. Under this situation, the Northwest raised the banner of recruiting workers, and relying on high wages, it created a rare migrant work frenzy in Chinese history.

In just a few years, the northwest has changed from a barren edge to a world-class metropolis. Large cities, super cities, and even metropolis with a population of more than 30 million have been established in the northwest, covering almost 70% of China's population. These populations are not born from the northwest, and all of them are attracted from the land of China.

The economic foundation determines the superstructure, and farmers cannot escape from the land. Even if this land exploits it, the simple farmers are realistic in their hearts. When they can't eat enough to eat in the fields throughout the year, and there are bright examples around them, they will naturally make changes.

The Northwest has always expected this change, and provided necessary guarantees for this change, transportation, railways, and high settlement fees. These have become the key skills since the first recruitment of workers in the Northwest. Perhaps elsewhere, people regard these mud legs as burdens. When locusts, the Northwest has already realized the importance of manpower. Only with people can there be machines, production, and profits. Compared with agriculture, which faces the loess and is facing the sky and digging food with hard work, the added value of industry is unparalleled.

From light industry to heavy industry, from population intensive to capital and technology intensive, in just five years, the Northwest has gone through a path that has not been taken for hundreds of years or even longer. Relying on the advantages of technology and products, it firmly controls China's manufacturing, and the high wages and treatments have continuously attracted the population of all parts of China, especially the north.

China is absolutely unbalanced in the north and south. Because the north is the Central Plains, it has been developed for a long time, and once fertile soil has become the current border land. From the Qin and Han Dynasties, Guanzhong was a fertile soil and an important cornerstone for the world. However, when the Tang Dynasty came to an abrupt end, it was a fierce border land in the Song Dynasty. Until now, for thousands of years, it was no longer available to the people. Going to the west was a tradition of Shanxi, which created the legend of Shanxi merchants, but this was exactly the sorrow of Shanxi and the northwest.

Whether in terms of road or attraction, the northwest has extremely strong attraction to the north. 70% of the national population accounts for more than 60% of the north, which also greatly reduces the permanent population of the entire north, except for the northwest.

Take the statistics from the late Qing Dynasty that Shandong had nearly 5.4 million households and 31 million people. But now, according to the data obtained in the Northwest, the entire Shandong has a population of about 12 million, a total of 19 million. Needless to ask, these people are all in the Northwest.

A population of 12 million, and a total of 12 new cities is under absolute protection, with a population of 6 million under absolute protection. In addition to the 2 million people of the big cities such as Jinan and Jining, there are 1.2 million people near Qingdao and Jiaozhou Bay. These populations are basically no problem. Even if it is for Xuzhou and Jinan, the big cities such as Jinan are scattered in Shandong, there are about 2.8 million people.

Such statistical results made Jiang Baili and Cai E slightly grateful that if Shandong was still 31 million now and some larger counties had a population of more than 500,000, this battle would be difficult to fight. The Northwest Army must carry out comprehensive protection, and the scale of this protection has been greatly reduced.

Even so, the Northwest dare not slacke in any slacking off. This is a war breaking out on its own territory. I am afraid that China will only bear any losses for the time being. The Japanese can attack recklessly and even seize the positions of the Northwest Army that the people attacked. The Japanese and Russians have already done this in the Northeast.

After taking over Qingdao's civil facilities, the northwest has increased its attraction to local labor. The small Jiaozhou Bay has concentrated 1.2 million people, which is a clear evidence that the key is that in addition to these places, at least part of it needs to be cleaned up during the Japanese march. However, everyone knows that this is unlikely. After all, Shandong is not within the control of the northwest, it is the control range of Beiyang, because it is too close to Zhili, and at least 4 new towns are stationed in Shandong.

The staff members also thought about a lot of possibilities, but they were rejected one by one. The most important thing to take off is to kill Japan's landing troops regardless of the fact that they are 2,000 long-range bombers in the northwest can cover the entire Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea. If they are really lighter, they can even directly threaten Japan. If they really make a big boat trip, the strength of the clustered aircraft troops during the exercises is simply a nightmare for the fleet of maritime transportation. Not to mention the 400,000 troops and 4 million troops, it is enough to blow them back.

The explosion and sinking are a one-time and for all, but they are not realistic, because not only are all ships from Britain, France and the United States, but they even escorted them. In this case, if a problem arises, it is inevitable to declare war. The time to come to the northwest is too short. With the help of the magic of the all-in-one aircraft and his vision, he created world-class miracles, but he has not yet faced the head-on struggle with the great powers such as Britain, France and the United States, who have completed industrialization and occupied the entire world for hundreds of years.

We must wait patiently. In a few years, as long as we lay a few years of foundation, we will push up the strength of technology and weapons a little more. When the dock is in the dock, a larger fleet will serve and form combat effectiveness, they will recover all the losses.

After careful consideration, the final plan was to increase the propaganda offensive. Yang Yuanzhao knew very well how effective the propaganda offensive of the Red Party had in that year. It can be said that the Red Party was able to take power and propaganda occupied an absolutely important area.

The cruelty of the Japanese was not compiled by the Northwest, that is the fact that when there was shit everywhere, there was no need to splash the Northwest. In the Northwest Intelligence Bureau, there were some ready-made Japanese massacres in the Northeast. Not only were there written information, but some victims also accused that they had obtained photos taken by German reporters from Germany, and they were even published in German newspapers at that time, which caused a great response from the Germans.

The propaganda offensive is on one hand, and on the other hand, it is to attract workers. Qingdao's large-scale construction, although only close to Qingdao's urban area, the most densely packed area is enough to accommodate more than 3 million labor force. With the salary level in the northwest, it is okay for the family to come. In this way, it may attract millions of people. In this way, it may be possible to minimize the harm this time.

No matter how cruel the Japanese are, when the population density decreases, especially in the direction of their march, the population density decreases significantly, the casualties and killings caused will be reduced to a relatively acceptable level. (To be continued.) h211
