Beiping, Xiyuan.

After the announcement against Japan was issued, Jiangdong convened personnel from the military and administrative systems to hold the first major meeting of the new year in Xiyuan.

The anti-aggression war had achieved complete victory. There were no longer heavy expressions on everyone's faces, and the atmosphere in the conference room was lighter and more lively.

After smoking an iconic General cigarette, the meeting officially began.

Jiang Dong blew the thick smoke that appeared in front of his eyes, smiled slightly and said:

"The theme of our meeting is to summarize the past and look forward to the future."

Everyone began to open the notebooks they carried with them and nodded while recording.

"Let's start with the administrative aspect first." Jiang Dong looked at Wang Xueqin, deputy director of the Administrative Committee.

After the anti-aggression war achieved complete victory, Wang Xueqin actually took the job of Prime Minister of the Government Affairs Council.

He has more gray hair on his head than before, but he is also in better spirits than before.

Wang Xueqin first nodded to Jiang Dong and then spoke slowly.

"With the support and guarantee of the military, administrative agencies at all levels can effectively perform administrative functions."

"Both the south and the north are developing very well, and all classes and ethnic groups are united like never before."

"Everything is going in a good direction and I believe this year will be even better."

"The industrial base and grain production base in Northeast China have been strengthened, consolidated and expanded, the influence of Japanese and puppet rule has been basically eliminated, and both urban and rural areas are developing well."

"In North China, people's livelihood projects in infrastructure and water conservancy are increasingly improving. The expressway from Peiping to Nanjing and Shanghai, running through the north and south, will soon be opened to traffic."

"The disaster situation in the Central Plains region is basically stable, and post-disaster reconstruction and development work has begun."

"The people in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River support the government and the army. The situation in various places is stable and there is no turmoil."

"The industry and commerce in big cities such as Nanjing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Wuhan continue to flourish on the original basis. All leases have been recovered, and the policies and regulations for foreigners doing business and living in China have been improved."

"Under strong supervision, foreign capital and enterprises headed by the Rockefeller family have entered China, injecting considerable vitality into the development of some regions."

Jiang Dong nodded while listening, always with a smile on his face.

"These are general directions, and specific industrial and commercial matters will be reported by the responsible departments."

Wang Xueqin looked at the ministers of the civil affairs system.

Zhou Fu, who is in charge of industry, first said:

"We have also made great progress in the military industry field that the commander-in-chief is more concerned about."

"The production capacity of tanks and aircraft has increased a lot, and a group of professional talents have also been trained."

"The four major shipyards in Northeast China, North China, Jiangnan and Myanmar are all capable of producing super aircraft carriers. Currently, four aircraft carriers are under construction and two will be launched after April."

The navy officers were clapping their hands slightly, looking quite excited and excited.

Zhou Fu continued:

"In addition to military enterprises, civilian light and heavy industries are also developing very well. Mining, steelmaking, oil refining, automobile manufacturing, food processing and production, etc., civilian industries are gradually enriched and can provide a variety of civilian products to the people across the country.

.”

Zhou Fu was followed by Fan Zhuxian, Minister of Science and Technology and Director of the Academy of Military Sciences.

"Commander-in-Chief, our country's scientific research system is gradually taking shape, and we are preparing to establish a National Academy of Sciences in addition to the Academy of Military Sciences."

Jiang Dong's eyes lit up, he nodded and said:

"This is a good idea. I have thought about related issues before, but I didn't expect that you are already ahead of the curve."

"Scientific research cannot be limited to military aspects, but must be developed in an all-round way, with military and civilian applications going hand in hand."

Fan Zhuxian supported the mirror frame and said:

"Research on electronic computer technology, radar technology, infrared technology, missile technology, etc. that the Commander-in-Chief is concerned about has made phased progress."

Jiangdong nodded repeatedly. These scientific research projects were all established under his guidance.

After technology comes education.

The head of the education department said:

"Through unremitting efforts, universities and middle schools across the country have returned to their pre-war scale. What is currently lacking is teaching staff. Once teachers are sufficient, the scale of universities and middle schools can continue to expand."

"The Commander-in-Chief, the Ministry of Education and Director Wang all believe that the time is ripe to implement free primary education."

Jiang Dong glanced at Wang Xueqin and asked in surprise:

"With the implementation of free primary education, there won't be any financial pressure."

Wang Xueqin replied:

"The finances can afford free primary education, but it cannot be extended to middle schools for the time being."

"This is already very good!" Jiangdong cast commendatory glances at everyone in the administrative department.

"This matter must be started as soon as possible, and the fall semester will be officially implemented!"

"OK."

"clear."

The last person to speak was Ding Beifeng, deputy director of the Administrative Committee. He subconsciously pressed his one eye, and then said with a slightly solemn expression:

"After people's lives became stable, many people gradually became rich, especially workers in factories everywhere."

"Spurred by the stimulation of civil industry, people's desire to buy has greatly increased, and business is very prosperous."

"The development of towns and villages in the northern region is very good, but the rural areas in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are underdeveloped, mainly because they have just escaped from the rule of the Japanese and puppets."

"In short, business is currently in an ascending and prosperous stage."

Jiang Dong nodded and asked:

"The main industry is in our own hands, right?"

"Yes, industries and industries related to the lifeline of the national economy are directly controlled by Fuxing Trading Co., Ltd.! Foreign capital and private companies are temporarily unable to enter these fields."

Ding Beifeng handed Jiang Dong a document, then looked at everyone and said:

"Director, our monetary policy has seriously restricted the development of business, and it's time to carry out currency reform."

Jiang Dong lowered his head to read the currency reform documents prepared by Ding Beifeng, and his expression became serious.

I remember that Ding Beifeng mentioned currency reform two years ago, but at that time Jiangdong believed that the time was not yet ripe and the risks of reform were high.

"Is this the unanimous opinion of the Executive Council?"

Wang Xueqin nodded.

"Yes, director, the silver dollar was handed down from the Yuan Shikai period and could play a very good stabilizing role during the war years. But now that the war is over, we think it is time to issue banknotes."

Jiang Dong glanced towards the army.

"With enough gold as a backing and the military's combat effectiveness as a guarantee, currency reform is feasible!"

Before Wang Xueqin and others finished cheering, Jiang Dong continued:

"However, we still need to be cautious and implement it tentatively in stages."

"Don't worry, Director, we have been preparing for currency reform for a long time."

At this time, Ding Beifeng suddenly asked:

"The southwestern provinces have maintained relatively independent economies and politics. Can this situation continue forever?"

Everyone in the conference room sat upright in unison.

Jiang Dong glanced around the crowd and said with a smile:

"Don't be so serious, everyone. The matter in Southwest China will be solved sooner or later, but not now."

"They won't have much impact on our development anyway, so don't be so anxious."

"The civil war has just ended and the people have just begun to live a stable life. Civil war must not happen."

"In a year at most, I will make the southwest side obedient and accept the adaptation and reform."

"No war, no bloodshed."

Everyone's bodies collapsed again, and they all showed thoughtful expressions.
Chapter completed!
