Vol 3 Chapter 193: National strength

Chapter 193 In the Power of the Nation
As the former general, he was promoted to Lieutenant General of the People's Army in advance, and Zhang Zizhong, who led the army into Xinjiang, was soon formally appointed by the central government.
Major Ministry of Defense spokesman Major Zhang Jing replied in response to a question from a reporter from the New China Daily: "The Northwest is the country's top priority, it must have outstanding military capabilities, and people with high moral standing must lead the army. Chairman Zhang once said that the stability of Xinjiang It is a national event. Throughout his life, General Zhang Zizhong's campaign was very famous, and he performed well in the War of Resistance Against Japan, so he became the candidate for the Xinjiang military ... "
And Chen Yunli, a spokesperson for the State Council, said: "... According to Chairman Zhang's instructions, the central government will increase economic development and development in the northwest provinces ..."
After selecting Zhang Zizhong as a leader in Xinjiang, the war machine in New China moved a little and started to pave the way for the troops in Xinjiang.
Unlike the troops that are going northward to liberate the northeast, the people's army in the northeast can take the Jinpu Railway northward. As soon as the locomotive moves, it only takes two or three days to cross half of China northward. At this point, the troops of the Northeast Liberation had already been stationed north of Peiping, waiting only for heavy weight and heavy equipment such as tanks and artillery, arrived in Jinzhou, returned to the division with Zhang Xueliang, and then launched a counterattack against the Japanese army.
On the other hand, it is difficult to advance troops.
Looking at the current northwest traffic, only Shaanxi and Gansu have some highways, and going north is a barren field. Although the troops entering Xinjiang can rely on the army to push them all the way, time and supplies will be a big problem. Especially after entering west of Gansu and even after entering Xinjiang, the situation is even more serious.
If you ca n’t pass, you ’ll see Yipingping on the way to Xinjiang. If you can pass, you ’ll have everything next to the stone and the ancient Silk Road. The temperature difference between day and night is not to mention, drinking water and food are all problems, even if you bring gold bars, there is no place to buy food and drink for more than 100,000 people.
Finally, the marching method formulated by the staff was that the army still marched through a large number of truck convoys and the horses of the former Northwest Cavalry Division, relying on various methods such as riding, riding, and walking, and continued along the ancient Silk Road. To Yumen County.
In Yumen County, a Yumen Airport will be built. It is still the old way, first ordering troops in Gansu to level out a field airport, and then using a transport plane to transport the engineering units to build a better airport to provide intermediate landing points for the subsequent large-scale supply of troops to Xinjiang.
The original plan was to build some airports in the direction of Xinjiang. Some staff members even suggested that Sheng Shicai should expand one or two airports along the way after entering Xinjiang for transportation of advanced troops and heavy supply. However, when the whole plan was submitted to Zhang Shusheng for review, it was mentioned a few small amendments.
Others may not know, can Zhang Shusheng not know the importance of Yumen, this is the location of the grade oilfield for a long time in the future, and the location of the airport can be near here, or even it is naturally the best here. In this way, the new government also fully used the new government to build new oil fields after the troops entered the Xinjiang. New China ’s need for oil has become very urgent, at least much more than it was in the original history. The Southwest has countless mouths waiting to drink oil day and night. Relying solely on the small oil fields in the south and the cheap oil returned by ships abroad can no longer satisfy the industrial exhibitions in the southwest. Not to mention the upcoming five-year industrial construction plan, Yumen and Daqing and other places will become the first batch of oil fields to be opened.
For Xinjiang ’s direction, since the battle plan was set, he was not too worried. Zhang Zizhong and Wang Zheng were powerful generals, not to mention that with 120,000 troops entering Xinjiang, Shengshi was definitely afraid to move. Yes, the whole Xinjiang, whether Uyghurs or other ethnic minorities, whoever lives and fights against the central government, the only result is to hit the stones with eggs.
The Twelfth Army, if pushed all the way, can wipe out all enemies, not to mention strategies, it is only a matter of time to stabilize Xinjiang.
After all, on the Xinjiang issue, Zhang Shusheng's keynote was iron blood and Huairou, mainly iron blood, supplemented by Huairou differentiation, plus the immigration plan that will start later. He did not believe in singing, dancing, terrorism, and What other storms the thief is famous for. In fact, most of those ethnic minorities are still good, longing for a peaceful and affluent peace day, and a small number of ambitionists have been spoiled by policy from the beginning.
Therefore, Zhang Shusheng initially formulated the policy of iron and blood. As for the Huairou policy, they treated them equally with other peoples in the Mainland. Under the premise of building the Greater Chinese nation and the ultimate Han nationality as the common goal, they respected their national customs. On the basis, there will be no abuse and no extra benefits.
120,000 troops, unless the Soviet Union came over, he believed that Zhang Zizhong and Wang Zheng would rectify Xinjiang.
For Tibet, there are more problems.
"Chairman"
Han Jingshan, outside Zhang Shusheng's office, Zhu Gesheng and Tie Sangan, who had been waiting for a long time, were finally called into the office by the secretary. The two stood saluting. The cottage strongmen of the year were now generals of the Democratic Republic.
"Bright, Sanqian, letting you come this time is for you to set up tasks." In the face of these two, he had run to his own confidant at the beginning, and Zhang Shusheng had no extra words. In fact, according to his position today, these Everything can be ordered to the Ministry of Defense. It only takes Wu Tiejun to come forward for the two to be slightly reluctant.
However, the Tibet issue is very important. Just like the Xinjiang issue, Zhang Shusheng really did not feel comfortable in surrendering them to the Ministry of National Defense or the six military ministries under it. Some things, the so-called no-table, need to be face-to-face.
"Chairman, you order it."
Zhuge Sheng saluted first. After the liberation of the whole country, his long-cherished wish was considered to be more than half. He worked hard for many years and finally became a republic general from a cottage army division. This is a huge leap forward. He understood his potential, and did not expect to climb a few more floors to the center. Instead, he hoped to lead the army early, and not be a dignitarian, so it was the same for him to engrave the history of youth with his merit.
Shortly after the start of the liberation war, the two Zhugesheng were ordered to be stationed at the Sichuan-Tibet junction, nominally guarding the southwest. In fact, at the beginning, they had obtained a military order to be alert to the situation in Tibet at any time. Once the British or If the Tibetans have any big plans, they will have to enter Tibet even before liberating the whole country.
After the two rushed to Hanjing by plane, they first observed the founding ceremony and military parade, and then they were invited to Hanjing Mountain to meet Zhang Shusheng.
Zhang Shusheng took out two battle plans into Tibet, and let the two of them take a look first. The battle plan was only a draft, and it was also very simple. After reading it for a while, they nodded to Zhang Shusheng.
"This task is basically like this. You two will command a light infantry army prepared by a three division and enter the Tibet along the Tea Horse Road along the Sichuan-Tibet border. The Tibet issue is very complicated. It is necessary to levy Tibetans to be used by Tibetan religious forces. Instigate rebellion, but also be wary of British and Indians who may interfere over the mountain at any time.
Tibet is different from Xinjiang. In Xinjiang, although Emperor Tiangao is as far away as the prince of Saibei, he is always a man of mine. It is impossible to stand with some mischievous people. His presence in Xinjiang can be considered a deterrent to Saibei. for many years.
However, Tibet has always been divorced from the central appearance. Political problems have occurred many times during the late Qing Dynasty and the Kuomintang. Now Yushu, who is stranded in Qinghai, cannot return, because his support for Tibet ’s return to the central government has been greatly affected by the Tibetan religious forces and the British. Obstruct.
What you need to do is to calm down the whole Tibet except to take him back, control him, and in the name of him, in exchange for the sympathy and understanding of the vast civilian class in Tibet. For ordinary peace-loving civilians, we must treat each other with courtesy. For some religious forces and ignorances who have bad intentions, I grant you the right to dispose freely. Keep in mind that the role of the army is always reflected in safeguarding and expanding national interests.
Abolishing the serfdom system, liberating Tibetan civilians, punishing ambitious treasoners, and defending the British will be your main mission. These things will be explained in detail in the plan written by the Second Section of the General Staff and the Propaganda Department. The two departments will also send someone to follow you into Tibet. "
Zhang Shusheng briefly said the duo's mission in one breath. The duo of Zhuge Sheng and Tie Sangan was almost the best candidate he could think of for Tibet. Zhuge Sheng is a man of good strategy and a proper way of doing things. Tie Sangan is ruthless and has everything to do. The two are ready to deal with the ambitions of Tibet, pack up the religious forces that are out of order, and defend the British. Moreover, both of them are graduates of Huaxia Military Academy. At the graduation assessment, Zhu Gesheng performed well in defense, and Tie Sangan performed well in offensive subjects. The two-year-old partners are extremely close together. Coupled with more than ten years of experience in leading wars, the two entered Tibet without any problems.
As for sending light infantry divisions to Tibet, the problem is even smaller. In the face of a small religious army with only gimmicks and ordinary rear-loaded rifles, the troops of the three divisions can crush them and crush them again. No one can overturn the mountain.
The troops that originally dispatched one or two divisions should be enough, but in order not to leave hidden dangers and eliminate all major discordant contradictions in the initial stage, Zhang Shusheng still ordered three divisions for the two, but only for logistics supplies, even if Expensive weeks can only maintain the size of the light infantry, at best with the degree of artillery.
Zhuge Sheng was overjoyed when he heard it, but he thought about the question of entering Tibet for a long time. The general with strong traditional thinking was able to lead Wang Shi into Tibet and calm down the chaos. Looking at the time when Zuo Zongtang entered Xinjiang, the two are not as good as him, and they can do a lot.
The person is nothing but the name of the picture, the right of the picture, the right picture, Zhuge Sheng is the best name, as for Tie Sangan, gave him his life that year, the two are brothers like partners. Moreover, for Zhang Shusheng's trust in them so much, and handed them the responsibility of completely hiding, they were flattered and felt a great sense of mission.
You know, the two are considered to be outsiders who joined the bureau, and they are able to go to today and lead the three divisions into Tibet.
"Is there any confidence?" Zhang Shusheng smiled lightly.
"Report to the chairman, to ensure that the task is completed, and if it fails, Marge will be wounded."
Zhuge Sheng and Tie Sangan stood upright at the same time, saluting one of the most serious military salutes.
"I wish you all success soon. I once told Zhang Zizhong to go to Xinjiang and check it out at the right time. After you cooperate with the Tibetan Provincial Government to make Tibet famous, I will go and see." Zhang Shusheng nodded, sure Said quietly.
"Yes, Chairman." The two spoke in unison.
After a lot of work, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhang Shusheng settled on the two most important and urgent things.
In the afternoon, Wei Sancai of the State Council and the Minister of Commerce Liu Dengke and the Minister of Industry Liu Qi came to the office to talk with Zhang Shusheng about the overall economic construction. As the Deputy Prime Minister of the State Council, Wei Sancai is already in charge of daily work. It is also due to his outstanding ability in the economic field and overall responsibility for economic construction. This is also the most urgent thing in the current New China.
"Chairman, our economic situation is currently polarizing. The entire southwest, including Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Hainan, is flourishing. But the other half of China is old and dilapidated, with many problems." Wei Sancai, deputy to the State Council The Prime Minister, of course, knows how big this mess is now,
"Simply put, the remaining half of China is poor and poor. In addition to Jiangsu and Zhejiang and the coastal areas with a certain industrial and commercial base, other places, from farmers to small craftsmen, from workshop owners to small factory owners, are all bankrupt or about to go bankrupt. the edge of.
As we prepared a few months in advance, a new batch of seeds planted in the southwest was introduced to the country after harvest this season. The current seed reserves are only enough for two provinces and three provinces. After a comprehensive assessment by the Ministry of Agriculture, this batch of seeds will be preferentially supplied to Hunan, Hubei, Henan, Shandong and other places. The demand for pesticides and fertilizers is not huge at present, and the unit area consumption of farmland and arable land is very low. With the strength of chemical engineering in the southwest, it is sufficient to complete the agricultural production task. "
After the liberation of the whole country, New China is not facing any diplomatic pressure or external military pressure. The biggest pressure is the issue of food.
Imagine that half-walled China can be full, but half-walled China has to be hungry. This is difficult to convince the public anyway. It is a common mentality of the people to not suffer from widowedness and unevenness. So just after liberation, the government mobilized a large amount of food from the southwest and entered the provinces to provide relief to the poor.
Of course, the central government did not take the dumbest way to directly go down to the grain, but instead adopted a flexible approach to trade for food. People over 55 and under 16 (the supply of young people is mainly based on the nine-year compulsory education to be implemented by the new government.), They can get quantitative food, and other people need to participate in labor in exchange.
This kind of collective labor is unprecedented, and the pay is very low, but it can still get a certain amount of RMB from the new government bank as working money. The most important thing is to be able to eat enough food.
The new government is not short of grain. More than ten years of new seeds have been planted. Every year, the southwest government has passed agricultural taxes such as fertilizer taxes and seed taxes (the farmers buy them on credit, and then sell the food to the government by paying public food.). An amazing amount of food. After eliminating the annual consumption of industrial, commercial and military food, there is an amazing reserve. The number is large enough to ensure that within two or three years of the establishment of the new government, it can easily handle any famine caused by natural disasters.
The new government will not be able to provide food across the country, but it can guarantee that people will not starve as much as possible. You know, this year, it ’s just a few days of rain in God, and it may kill a few more people.
Land reform takes time. After the fields are divided into households, the seeds are released to the ground, and it takes quite a while to mature. In this time period, how to ensure that farmers can get food so that they do not starve to death or die poorly is the most important thing for the new government. Headache.
For at least a year, the difficulties facing the new government will be as high as the mountains.
"Because we have enough food in the past, in addition to helping the poor and the old, the sick and the disabled, the other food is mainly used for the" work for food "program. According to your instructions from the chairman, these peasant army will be mainly used for Construction of roads, power stations, dams, mountain ponds, railway foundations, large and extra large factories and mining industries ... "
Listening to Wei Sancai's report, Zhang Shusheng nodded and planned to make better improvements on his own proposal, and the feasibility and risk were much smaller.
After the founding of the People's Republic, facing a lot of mess, Zhang Shusheng did not have the way to raise his arms and mobilize tens of millions of employees in the future. He could only mobilize the majority of the people through this multiple stimulus method of patriotism + faith + food + trace wages Enthusiasm.
From the experience of later generations, the people are indeed powerful. In his memory, he used to have a very large reservoir in his hometown. If it is to be in accordance with the standards of the 21st century, it will cost huge national financial resources to build another two or three years.
However, in the later red years, this giant reservoir was repaired in just over a year, not because of anything else, but because of a government order, thousands of farmers opened their hoes and spades. dig.
Many people have great strength, and before the full adoption of construction machinery, others will unimaginably take advantage of large-scale construction nationwide.
Imagine that when thousands of highways nationwide were started at the same time, thousands of small and medium-sized power stations were started at the same time, tens of thousands of reservoirs were excavated at the same time, dozens of railways were excavated in sections, and dozens of airports, mines, and factories started advanced projects at the same time. ...
What a spectacular sight this will be.
Zhang Shusheng didn't have time to wait for the engineering teams to do these things slowly, and did n’t invest so much. The provinces, cities, counties, and districts were engaged in construction. The only way to make people understand that these constructions are actions that benefit the place and the country. Let the whole people act ~ EbookFREE.me ~ it is possible to lay the foundation for the entire country to take off in the shortest time.
Of course, there are still many problems during the implementation, such as how to assign technical instructors? How to mobilize corresponding materials? How to arrange the construction tasks of the provinces? Should we build the road first or dig water first? All these need to be carefully planned by the government council in conjunction with multiple departments and the conditions of the provinces across the country. Actually it is impossible to start all projects at the same time, but on the whole, it will be an extraordinarily large-scale construction project for the whole people.
"The Red Soviet Union can build the Komsomolsk on the ice field. The Chinese will definitely accomplish a series of miracles with hard work and simplicity."

Sorry, the last three thousand words didn't change, because I had a little dispute with my wife, and I didn't write overtime because I was not in a good mood. As a result, my wife was allergic to work today. I was scared to see the symptoms. I ran to three hospitals to find the emergency (there is no clinic after work). Damn, none of the previous two hospitals had an allergic skin problem. Checking for a blood test needle at a third hospital ... it's late and late to get home.
Sorry, only now.
