Chapter 728 Preparations for the Navy(1/2)
"Commander-in-Chief, you and the committee members talked behind closed doors for several hours. What did you say?"
Under the encouragement of everyone, Xie Chengrui finally asked this question.
Several people in the system turned their attention to Jiangdong at the same time, their eyes full of gossip.
Jiang Dong rolled his eyes and said angrily:
"I think you are not concerned about what I talked about with the principal, but you are concerned about whether you can get North China."
"hey-hey……"
"It's all the same, it's all the same..."
"North China is already in our hands, haha."
…
Everyone knows Jiang Dong's character well, and they don't have much scruples when speaking at this moment.
Everyone quarreled for a while and then became quiet again, waiting for Jiang Dong to make his conclusion.
"Ahem..." Jiang Dong cleared his throat, pretending to be deep and domineering:
"Everyone, the Chairman of the Standing Committee has promised to hand over all the military and political power in North China to me. The systems of the 6th Corps will rule North China. It will soon become justifiable!"
"call!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and smiles of joy gradually appeared on their faces.
"but……"
When Jiang Dong changed the topic, everyone held their breath and concentrated again.
"In order to increase the prestige of the central government, and to avoid a situation in which one company dominates and makes people panic, we must assist the Central Army in arming 60 weapon divisions from all over Germany in the next two years!"
"Sixty? Isn't that too many?" Wang Xueqin said dumbfounded.
The cost of equipping 60 German mechanics will be an astronomical figure.
However, he soon thought of North China, which had an extremely vast population and resources. Although he breathed a sigh of relief, he still felt extremely painful in his heart.
Others had similar reactions.
Ren Guang from the Industrial Development Commission touched his chin and murmured:
"As a German mechanic, it's not too much. You should be able to do it in two years."
Xie Chengrui and Wu Zhan also nodded, and the latter said:
"The German weapons and equipment are not at the same level as the new equipment currently being installed by the Young Guards and the Eighth Army. 60 German weapon divisions can only make some people feel at ease, but they cannot compete with our army at all."
Jiang Dong nodded,
"Old Wu is right.
As long as our technology remains ahead of the times, the situation and scale of war will change, and there will be fewer and fewer cases of relying on numerical superiority to win in the future!"
Everyone thought of the General Hammer, Zhong Kui, the Five or Six Gun Clan, tanks, rocket launchers...
These things all emerged within a year or two. It is really unimaginable what the military will develop into in another year or two.
At the moment, everyone agrees that exchanging the equipment of 60 German weapon masters for the legitimate administrative North China is a good deal.
"Besides 60 German mechanics, does the commission have any other requirements?" Ren Guang asked.
Jiang Dong thought about the chairman's instructions before leaving, and his face became a little strange. He hesitated for a moment and then shook his head.
"There's nothing else, let's officially start the meeting!"
"Swish, swish, swish..."
Everyone unanimously took off the pen cap and opened the notebook.
"It was just the North China War. Our army suffered more than 30,000 casualties." Wu Zhan spoke first,
"Nowadays, military personnel have pensions and other welfare systems, and the pension and disability retirement systems are also well established.
With the cooperation of the civil affairs system, the aftermath of the casualties is being carried out in an orderly manner, and there have been no problems for the time being."
"The public trials of war criminals are coming to an end." Wang Liang said:
"The people's response has been very good and they have gradually accepted the Sixth Corps as the people's soldiers.
The Political Department is currently carrying out liquidation operations against the puppet army leaders in various provinces and cities in North China, and depending on the size of the crime committed, they will be sentenced to death or reform through labor!"
"How do Rong Zhen and others judge?" Jiang Dong asked.
In the battle to regain Peiping, Rongzhen and the puppet troops in Beiping City helped a little, and Rongzhen, Wang Kejing and others had a good attitude towards pleading guilty.
Wang Liang looked towards Jiangdong,
"After comprehensive consideration, the Political Department believes that all police officers and Imperial Army soldiers in Beiping will continue to be retained and all will be integrated into the urban governance system.
In the next few months, the Political Department will continue to carry out ideological reform on this group of people, striving to transform them into assistance in urban governance.
Rong Zhen and others with some minor achievements will be assigned to mines in Suiyuan, Chahar and other places to be responsible for mine management.
The final verdict has not yet been determined. If the Commander-in-Chief thinks the punishment is too light, the Political Department can change it."
"Haha..." Jiang Dong chuckled,
"I have no objections to these considerations and judgments of the Political Department. It seems that your work ideas are very mature, very good, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and continue to work hard!"
Wang Liang's face was calm, but a trace of pride flashed in his eyes.
"The expatriates and prisoners of war in Changping have been transported away in batches. With this labor force, the speed of coal mining in the future will be greatly improved." Wang Xueqin looked at the notebook and said,
"Most of the victims who fled last winter have joined regular engineering teams and become professional workers.
The Commander-in-Chief does not need to worry about labor problems. No matter how great the pace of industry is, the number of workers can keep up."
"That's good!" Jiang Dong looked at Ding Beifeng,
"Does Fuxing Trading Co., Ltd. have any plans, policies, or strategies for the future commercial development of Beiping?"
Ding Beifeng's one eye always gave people a sharp feeling. He glanced at Jiang Dong and said:
"Trading companies have already been deployed throughout North China a year ago, and their acceptance after the war has been relatively stable. In the future, business in North China will be led by trading companies, showing a situation where big trends lead small trends. It will definitely become more and more popular.
Prosperous.
Trading companies are discussing with the Ministry of Civil Affairs and are preparing to introduce more policies to stimulate business activities.
At the same time, we will improve the tax system.”
Jiang Dong wrote down everything everyone said in his notebook.
"Xiao Lu..." He looked at Lu Zhuoran,
"It is your responsibility to extend the previous land policies of Shanxi and Suiyuan to the entire North China region. If the policy is inappropriate, correct it in time!"
Lu Zhuoran stood up and took over the task.
Jiang Dong looked at him and said solemnly:
"North China is a vast territory, and various forces are intertwined. Land reform is a major action that can affect social classes. You must be mentally prepared. You can spend more time, but the reform must be thorough!"
Jiang Dong blinked after finishing speaking.
Lu Zhuoran responded with the same wink.
Hehe, with just a few simple eye contact, the two of them have worked together to lift the fat sheep to the table.
"In terms of industry..." Jiangdong looked at several people from the Industrial Development Committee and said:
"The Germans can't leave, and I won't be able to leave for a while, but more and more Americans will come.
Take this opportunity to cultivate talents extensively!
At the same time, we must spread the industry from Shanxi, expand its scale, and spread it to various places in North China!
New factories and heavy industry are the top priorities, and the production of light industry and civilian products is also trying to keep up.
Now is a war period. The industrial system may not be perfect, but the gap between light and heavy industries should not be too big!
It’s July now, and by the end of August, the entire army of 500,000 people will be equipped with new equipment!”
"yes!"
Finally, there is the military issue. Jiangdong turned to a new page and said:
"The militia and local security corps systems will still continue. They are the reserve members of the army. I plan to expand the army to 800,000 people before the end of this year, and then the army's establishment will remain unchanged at 800,000 people for a relatively long period of time.
!”
"Eight hundred thousand!"
This number lifted the spirits of everyone in the room.
Jiangdong continued:
"800,000 men is just the size of an army force!
The staffing remains unchanged, but the equipment needs to be constantly updated!
To be continued...
