Two hundred and sixty-eighth chapter labor force
After reading the information in his hand, Dr. Carlson was also stunned. He had never expected that Qin Shou would have such a document. With this information, the subsequent industrial layout problem will undoubtedly be much easier. He only needs to build the corresponding factory in these places with rich mineral resources.
"Damn the British, how could they survey these mineral resources so clearly? Why did the Chinese still get these information? Why didn't they mine them by themselves before the war?" Dr. Carlson had many things in his mind. However, he also knew that it was not the time to worry about these aspects.
"Okay, General Qin. Since there is Myanmar's resource distribution data, there is no problem. Next, we can discuss where various factories should be built." Dr. Carlson said.
Although he was very unhappy with the huge investment of the US government in helping the anti-Japanese war and rescue construction of the industrial system, he could no longer find a reason to shirk it. Although the factories funded by the US government were all small and medium-sized enterprises, there were too many projects, and if all of them were calculated, they would require a large amount of funds.
Minister of Industry Situ Kizan, Minister of Transportation Liu Fenghua and Dr. Carlson took a whole day to discuss the layout of those factories. After discussion between the two sides, the first phase of the US government's industrial aid plan for the Myanmar military government included 156 projects, covering all aspects of industrial development. The total investment reached 200 million US dollars. This is still the reason why many factories are small and medium-sized factories. If a large factory is built, the investment may have to be several times higher.
Qin Shou also knew that it was already very good to be able to help Americans to this extent. After these factories were built, if they wanted to expand the scale, they would probably have to rely on their own strength. Of course, after the Americans helped them solve any problems, the next situation would be much easier to solve.
"Commander, we have discussed the layout of the factories in the industrial plan. Dr. Carlson has promised that the equipment needed will be shipped from the United States within one month. Now, we need to build the factory. At the same time, the construction of transportation facilities must also begin." Situ Jizan reported to Qin Shou.
Although these days are very busy, this young master is very tired. However, he is very energetic. In Myanmar, he seems to have found his own value of existence. It is undoubtedly a matter of being very proud to be able to look at a poor and deserted place and gradually establish a strong industrial system in his hands.
Qin Shou nodded: "Since there is no problem, then start!"
"Yes, commander. However, in terms of labor, the military needs to help us find a solution." Situ Kizan continued.
Of course, Qin Shou knew this well. If the entire industrial development plan was to be launched in Myanmar, it would undoubtedly require a large amount of labor. The Chinese population was not large and they had to cultivate so much land, so naturally there was not much labor to join the industrial development. Of course, some core positions must also be responsible by the Chinese. In this way, the core secrets will not be leaked. At the same time, those indigenous people of Myanmar are not competent for some too important positions because they are not very refined.
But even so, the entire industrial development plan requires a huge amount of labor. Fortunately, there are quite a few natives in Myanmar. The fight against Japan and rescue only requires arrest.
"Don't worry about labor. Within one month, the military will provide you with at least 500,000 labor. Within two months, there will be one million labor for you to use." Qin Shou promised.
Situ Jizan nodded and said nothing. He also knew what the labor force Qin Shou was talking about was.
After Situ Jizan left, Qin Shou summoned the generals who were rescuing Japan and issued an order to capture the labor force.
There are 16 million indigenous people in Myanmar. In addition to those who live in the mountains, the fight against Japan and rescue can be captured at will.
Especially the new recruits from the Anti-Japanese and Rescue Army, although they had just entered the army and had just learned how to drive them. However, there should be no problem dealing with the natives of Myanmar. When capturing the natives of Myanmar, they inevitably met with blood. Letting these new recruits see blood will also help them quickly grow into qualified elite soldiers.
After Qin Shou's order was issued, the entire anti-Japanese rescue operation took place. The 1st Army, the 2nd Army, a total of 12 infantry divisions and 12 brigades were all taken. They began to arrest young and middle-aged men throughout Myanmar. These people would become laborers in industrial development plans. They would work in factories, mines or construction sites for the rest of their lives until they were exhausted to death.
Taungzhi, a small town called Binbai. Among the Myanmar resource distribution data issued by Qin Shou, there is an iron ore with a reserve of 63 million tons. Therefore, Americans will help the Myanmar military government build a medium-sized steel plant, with an annual output of about 1 million tons. This requires a large amount of labor to mine iron ore, transport iron ore, etc.
This also caused the Burmese people near Binbai to suffer from seedlings.
A regiment of the 8th Infantry Division in the Anti-Japanese War, more than 4,000 people surrounded the entire small town. The soldiers, like wolves and tigers, searched from house to house, and all the young and middle-aged Burmese men were forced to be taken away.
"What are you going to do? Why should you catch me?" A Burmese man struggled angrily. He even held one in his hand, wanting to resist.
"Bang!"
An officer who was rescued by the Japanese and rescued him directly opened and hit the Burmese man in the head and killed him.
"Take it away, dig a hole and buried it." The officer ordered.
Immediately, the officer said to other Burmese people: "Who dares to resist, this is the end!"
As a result, the other Burmese people were silent one by one and did not dare to resist anymore and could only cooperate.
The anti-Japanese rescue efforts alone were captured in Binbai and its surrounding areas. Of course, this was far from enough. Soon, 20,000 people arrested from near Taung Chi will be sent here. They will be forced to mine iron ore, build factories and roads.
Under the massive arrest of the anti-Japanese rescue, hundreds of thousands of adult men in Myanmar were sent to mines and construction sites, contributing their own strength to Myanmar's industrialization development.
