Chapter 830 Meeting
After September 15, the Soviet Far East Red Army began to mobilize on a large scale to the western front.
Lieutenant General Khachanov left the Far East, but General Apanashenko remained in the Far East.
Half of the 700,000 Red Army troops have been mobilized, and the remaining troops have no signs of mobilizing westward for the time being.
The Japanese Kwantung Army has been destroyed, but a more powerful "enemy" has appeared in Northeast Asia, which makes General Apanashenko worried all day long.
Jiangdong has already promised the Soviet Union that he will help them monitor the movements of the Japanese army, and Moscow no longer needs to worry about the safety of the Far East.
At the same time, Jiangdong also made it clear that in the eyes of the Japanese, the Sixth Corps would be a greater threat than the Soviet Far East Red Army.
These assurances still cannot allay Apanashchenko's concerns.
Winter will soon enter the Northeast. The Administrative Committee is accelerating the restoration of people's livelihood in various places. The Soviets across the border are carefully monitoring everything.
Thanks to the day and night work of tens of thousands of Japanese prisoners of war, the ruins of Changchun City have been cleaned up, and the bustling city has once again been revealed.
"The Commander-in-Chief, Soviet and American judges and investigators have arrived in Changchun, and the Changchun International Military Tribunal will open smoothly on September 18."
The director of the Secretariat reported to Jiangdonghui in a soft voice:
"There is news from Kunming that negotiations between China and the United States have officially begun, but both sides have been in a mutual testing phase in the past few days.
The United States has applied many times to directly negotiate with you, but was rejected by Chongqing representative Bai Chongxi!"
Jiang Dong took the detailed report and browsed it again, shook his head and said:
"It's impossible for me to go to Kunming for the time being. Just let Lu Zhuoran report every day. I believe he can handle it!
What will the International Court of Justice hear on the first day of its session?”
"Many foreigners and our compatriots have requested that the executioners of Unit 731 be tried on the first day. Judging from the schedule, Jiro Ishii and Masaji Kitano will be tried on the first day!"
Jiang Dong nodded to express his understanding.
For now, the evidence regarding the crimes committed by Unit 731 is the most complete, and it is relatively easy to organize, and it is also very satisfying!
"Have all the people from the civil affairs and army arrived?" Jiang Dong asked!
"The meeting will officially start at 2pm, you can take a break for an hour!"
"good."
…
On September 16, Jiangdong held the first military and political meeting after the Songhua River operation.
"The theme of this meeting is very simple, that is, both the army and the administration should report on the consumption of the Songhua River operation and the reception status of various industrial plants in the Northeast!" Jiangdong went straight to the topic without any sloppiness.
On the horizontal level, a victory celebration meeting has been held, and things in the Northeast are complicated. Jiangdong has not had any ideas in this regard for a while.
Wu Zhan, representing the army, stood up first and reported:
“During the entire Songhua River operation, the army, navy and air force suffered a total of 193,000 casualties!
The Army lost 210 tanks and more than 1,000 various combat vehicles,!
The Air Force lost 25 J-1 fighters and 40 transport aircraft!
The Navy's Bohai Fleet lost 15 minesweepers, 61 landing craft, and one gunboat..."
Wang Xueqin opened the folder in front of her, glanced at Jiang Dong and said:
"During the entire Songhua River operation, the Administrative Committee provided a total of 220 million silver dollars in ammunition and materials to the army. The estimated value of various items seized by the army should be around 400 million yuan!"
The seizure of the Imperial Palace of the Puppetry of Manchukuo was only a small part of the more than 400 million yuan. Due to the sudden start of the Songhua River operation, Japan's wealth in the Northeast barely had time to be transferred out.
The gold and other materials seized from banks in various places were worth nearly 100 million silver dollars.
In addition, the Administrative Committee also confiscated the assets of all puppet troops and Japanese expatriates.
The Northeast is a prosperous land, but the wealth is not in the hands of the people.
The total seizures from all aspects totaled 40,000 silver dollars, which put smiles on the faces of the officials of the Administrative Committee. Finally, they no longer had to worry about financial problems.
Jiangdong Road:
"First of all, we must solve the problems of the army. The pensions for the sacrificed soldiers must not be less than a penny, and the supervisory department must do a good job in supervision!
As for the 400 million yuan seized, it will first fill the deficit caused by the Songhua River operation, and the remaining money will be used for the reconstruction of Northeast China!
By the way, I asked you to buy as much food as possible before, how is this going?"
Wang Xueqin replied:
"We have bought all the surplus grain in the hands of the people, and a lot of grain has been seized from the farms of Japanese expatriates. The current grain reserves can probably feed 100 million people for the first half of the year!"
Jiangdong shook his head,
"It's not enough... it's not enough... Once the domestic grain is purchased, we will target overseas. This reserve will at least double again!"
After the winter, it will be 1942, and Jiangdong has been preparing for this for a long time.
Wang Xuequn and others didn't quite understand what Jiang Dong meant, but they still nodded and accepted the order.
Zhou Fu of the National Development and Reform Commission reported to Jiangdonghui:
"We have inspected factories across the Northeast, and 80% of the factories are complete, with equipment and workers still there. These factories can be put into production immediately after traffic in various places is restored!
Judging from the survey, as long as the factories in the Northeast are operating normally, steel production will double based on the original production!"
Everyone in the conference room looked surprised.
The increase in steel production will allow more guns, cannons, aircraft, tanks, and warships to be built...
Steel is the backbone of industry and the most steadfast force supporting the development of all walks of life.
"The Northeast Industrial Zone really deserves its reputation!" Jiang Dong also smiled,
"Now we have two major industrial zones in North China and Northeast China. While we are constantly increasing production capacity, we must also carry out a reasonable industrial layout and start thinking about the long term!"
Jiang Dong looked at Fan Zhuxian, the director of the Academy of Military Sciences, who was shrinking at the end, and asked:
"Professor Fan, has the Academy of Sciences found anything valuable from the Japanese military's research materials?"
Fan Zhu was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly,
"We have already screened the research data. There are many valuable things in it, and various research institutes are constantly analyzing them."
Although these materials are stained with the blood of our compatriots, only by fully utilizing the contents of the materials can we better avenge our dead compatriots and prevent tragic things from happening again.
"Well done!" Jiang Dong said,
"The scale of the Academy of Sciences will continue to expand, and research centers will be set up in various cities in the future! Professor Fan will put more thought into making the scientific research system of the Academy of Sciences as complete as possible, and strive to cover all aspects!"
For Operation Songhua River to be so successful, science and technology must account for at least half of the credit.
People in the military and administrative systems have also gradually changed their attitudes towards scientific research talents.
Fan Zhuxian felt the eyes of everyone. He stood up and bowed to Jiang Dong, saying:
"The ambition in the director's heart can be seen from the petition. Everyone in the Academy of Sciences is willing to work hard to revitalize China under the director's command!"
"Okay, reviving China requires all of us to work together!"
Jiang Dong smiled and pressed his hand, asking Fan Zhu not to be so serious yet.
Next, the meeting discussed the issues of building a militia and security system in the Northeast, restoring education, and strengthening infrastructure construction.
We now have plenty of free labor on hand, so it won’t go to waste if we don’t use it.
After the meeting, Jiang Dong stayed behind Xie Chengrui and Wu Zhan and said to them:
"During the entire Songhua River operation, the army performed very well, but I can only give you half a month's rest time!
Winter is coming quickly in the Northeast, and it will start snowing further north after October!
After replenishing the troops with winter clothing, we must start organizing winter training for each group army!"
"What is the purpose of winter training?" Xie Chengrui asked!
"Improve the cold resistance of soldiers and improve the army's combat capabilities in cold environments!"
Xie Chengrui and Wu Zhan looked at each other. They both thought of the same issue and their expressions became serious.
"Yes, winter training will start after October!"
