Chapter 472 The Charm of the Pioneer Army

The purpose of the Export Control Act is very simple, which is to pass the price of export materials, whether it is the target or variety.

Such a powerful baton was naturally unwilling to let Roosevelt get it easily. However, Britain and France were in crisis, and neither Europe nor Asia, the two oceans were very peaceful. A baton was needed to control the tilt direction of the exit. After a series of compromises and balances, this bill was finally issued more than a month in advance.

This bill is aimed at both Britain and France and the Japanese.

Among them, the British and French support is to increase support to make the European millstone rotate longer, so that American products can be sold to Europe continuously. Correspondingly, more supplies are sent to Europe, fewer those sent to the Japanese. Moreover, as the war intensifies, strategic materials such as steel, rubber, and oil need to be stockpiled and priced, and the supply to Japan is even less.

At this time, Britain and France were trapped in the European millstone, and the Netherlands surrendered to the Germans early. At this time, all the troops had been disarmed in Southeast Asia, and the Japanese were also ready to move.

Southeast Asia's grain, rubber, tin, oil, and all kinds of wood are the fat meat in the eyes of everyone, and even Americans have always been very jealous. But those places belong to his allies, and the Americans have never had an excuse to reach out and can only hold the Philippines and drool out. Like Meng Xiang's idea, the impatient Japanese have become a sharp knife that Americans want to create. The difference is that the Americans plan is to let the Japanese cut off the British, Dutch and France, while Meng Xiang's plan has an additional United States.

The Americans also considered the trick of self-harm through the Japanese, but at first they did not expect Pearl Harbor to take it. In their plan, if an incident like Spain occurs, they can openly take action from the Philippines. Of course, in history, after they learned about Pearl Harbor's plan, they also acted in a bitter plan.

However, in this time and space, the Japanese were beaten up by the Pioneer Army. Meng Xiang had always been worried that the knife could not be lifted. Although he had specially arranged a lot of arrangements, things in the world were unpredictable.

Meng Xiang did not expect that the Americans would even put their ideas on the Japanese. In fact, this is not surprising. Which country’s national strategy is not counted in ten years. Looking at a hundred years, it only cares about the little interests in front of you. Once you enter a dead end, it will not be just a problem of growing narrower and narrower.

He was not very worried about the Japanese at this time, and the Japanese could no longer do anything to the Pioneer Army. Instead, the Pioneer Army was showing an attitude of overwhelming the Japanese.

However, the Pioneer Army has not taken any action. In the past few months, in addition to consolidating the interior of the war zone and developing the economy, it has also wiped out the Japanese who hid in the mountains.

More than 10,000 Japanese led by Lieutenant General Renzuoba, the former commander of the Mongolian Corps who had been hiding in the Qinling Mountains, survived the severe cold of half a winter under the clearing field. After seeing the spring flowers blooming everywhere, they were blocked by the Pioneer Army in a bare valley with rocks and trapped for two months. After no Japanese dead soldiers rushed out, the Pioneer Army's investigators went in and saw only bones everywhere and the remaining more than a hundred Japanese soldiers gnawing on their skin-bone thighs and arms, and their eyes were dull.

Lieutenant General Renzuoba was left with only one pretty intact head left. The other parts could never be found again.

On the other side, led by Seishiro Itagaki, it firmly headed southeastward. At that time, Shangluo and Funiu Mountain were controlled by Tang Enbo. The implementation of the rigorous field was not thorough, and Seishiro Itagaki led the team to escape. After leaving five thousand devils by Tang Enbo, it broke through layers of defense and rushed into Henan. Unfortunately, Henan was basically controlled by the Pioneer Army. Under the ambush of the Pioneer Army, more than 6,000 people were left by Itagaki Seishiro and escaped into Tongbai Mountain. But in Tongbai Mountain, they encountered the remaining enemies of the 14th Division and the 106th Division who had retreated from Xinyang.

At the beginning, the 14th Division and the 106th Division's journey to Anhui were blocked by the 56th Army, and even the Dabie Mountains could not pass, so they could only retreat to Tongbai Mountain.

Meng Xiang didn't expect that Itagaki Seishiro was struggling tenaciously like an immortal cockroach. The Japanese occupied Tianwang Village and hid in Tongbai Mountain, and the forces reached more than 20,000. However, the Pioneer Army also used this as an excuse. The 57th Army directly entered Hubei, took over Xiangfan, and quickly controlled Zaoyang, Suizhou, and Guangshui, connecting with Xinyang, and directly blocked the Japanese army in Tongbai Mountain.

Because the vanguard army entered Hubei, it caused severe rebukes from the central government, but Meng Xiang didn't care about these things at this time and repeatedly let the Japanese escape. Although it was because the vanguard army was not working hard, it also made him a little annoyed.

"Does it be necessary to build a hero of the Long March?" Meng Xiang said angrily. The Japanese have used this matter to publicize the country and dealt with the annihilated Japanese in a low-key manner. They then deified this heroic team from Shanxi, to northern Shaanxi, Henan, and jumped out of the Central Army and the Pioneer Army, and often used to prove that the Pioneer Army is not terrible.

The rise of Seishiro Itagaki's reputation once again inspired more Japanese to join the army. As for the death of Renumaba, the former commander of the Mongolian Corps, was directly ignored.

In response to this, Meng Xiang was determined to destroy the Japanese team that advocated as heroes, but the strength of the Central Army was really uneasy. If these more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers rushed out from south, they might be able to break through the blockade of the Central Army and directly threaten Wuhan. The Suizao Battle in history was in Suizhou and Zaoyang. If that was the case, it would be too embarrassing.

Therefore, Meng Xiang ordered the 57th Army to enter Hubei and quickly took over the counties and cities around Tongbai Mountain, which also attracted strong dissatisfaction from Chiang Kai-shek. At this time, the guns of the Central Army in the south were aimed at the Pioneer Army. If there was any abnormal movement, they could shoot directly. Chiang Kai-shek also asked the Pioneer Army for these areas, but the Pioneer Army had never vomited it out before, and he used the trick of a referendum on public opinion.

The so-called trick is like eating it all over the world. The policy of giving the people free of charge is always proven and the subsequent referendum was also eaten by the vanguard army.

Of course, behind this is inseparable from the contribution of the Pioneer Army organizational system.

From ancient times to the present, there have never been a shortage of smart people and sages, and there are many good policies, but not many of them work. Either the implementation time is short, or there are many geographical limitations, and some are just empty words. The most critical of this is the issue of execution.

The Central Party has already shouted the slogan of reducing rent and interest rates early on, but it is a huge difference in implementation and is only in form.

Since ancient times, the struggle between the central government and local governments, officials and minor officials has never stopped, even in later generations. This involves the issue of execution.

The most fundamental reason why the new dynasty was changed in later generations was that the strength of the organization could penetrate all aspects of the lower class and maintain stability. This is the advantage of a strict party system, but the disadvantages were also very obvious. While strengthening the organization and the collective, it also weakened the individual's human factors. At the same time, maintaining a huge organizational network will inevitably lead to a huge increase in administrative costs, and such a huge system will inevitably form a system and form a special new class.

Of course, there are more shortcomings, which make Meng Xiang dare not use this as a standard. Give full play to the subjective initiative of the people, manage themselves, and the government's macro-control, which may eliminate many troubles and hidden dangers.

But at this time, although the people were cunning as little people, they were only concerned about their surroundings and in front of them due to their narrow vision, so their thoughts were easily influenced by others. This required too much guidance from the government, and it was time to play to the grassroots organizations. Meng Xiang controlled a most strict grassroots army. Under the supervision of 40,000 to 50,000 clones who strictly followed the instructions, the policies of the Pioneer Army had ensured that there was no problem implementing the semi-autonomous towns in the people. The autonomous villages below could also be supervised in place.

It is precisely with the driving and supervision of this huge organization that the newly occupied areas of the Pioneer Army, although the local management time is short, can quickly control the situation. Although it is not very stable, it is much better than the central party of the county and city, and other forces are also unable to match it because of the lack of capital to win over.

In this way, the Pioneer Army quickly controlled the above-mentioned areas, won social support under the banner of democracy, which made Chiang Kai-shek helpless.

Although the referendum of the Pioneer Army cannot really know the election because of the ignorance of many people. But it cannot be ignored because of the ignorance of the people. Just like the child is ignorant and does not allow him to become independent because he is ignorant. Being represented and taking the last step by himself are two concepts. Even if he chooses wrong, he still has his own responsibility. He cannot blame others for false propaganda, or even bribes.

Of course, the Pioneer Army made various preliminary preparations and strived for justice. However, with the influence of the Pioneer Army's minimum living security policy, this most practical benefit made the people choose agents launched by the Pioneer Army. Because their personalities are not suitable for interpersonal communication, most of them perform regulatory functions.

The Pioneer Army has been training and learning grassroots cadres since 38 years. After training and tempering, these Pioneer Army cadres, mainly passionate young people and old bureaucrats, have begun to take on the main points of the grassroots.

With the supervision of the people and the selfless supervision and checks and balances of clones, there are fewer phenomena in corruption, bullying men and women, and fishing in the village. After all, these grassroots cadres need to support the election from the bottom, and one of the forces that determine their career destiny is below. Relying on the election of the whole nation, they naturally have to speak for the majority of people below. Compared with the officials who only need to support the top, they are much better.

The right to elect the whole nation is only in towns, mainly to save costs and concentrate more power through the primitive accumulation stage. Meng enjoys the double gold fingers of history and base, so he naturally needs to make full use of it without excessive democracy and binding his hands and feet. However, those clones are the biggest reliance for him to show his model of democracy. So many people follow his own voice, even in the form of democracy, most of the power can be concentrated in his own hands.

The policies such as minimum living allowances implemented by Meng Xiang at this time are not necessarily the most perfect, but with the golden finger of the 200,000 extremely loyal clones, the perfect regret can be completed.

This power will soon burst out, and the most obvious feeling is Wei Lihuang and Tang Enbo. One of them is in Luoyang, Zhongtiao Mountain, and the other is in Funiu Mountain. This was originally a chess piece planted by Lao Jiang, but because the people around him are concerned about the vanguard army, it makes them more and more difficult. Even their soldiers often disappear automatically and run to join the nearby vanguard army.

As time goes by, they can still use strict military discipline and the means of killing chickens and terrifying monkeys. However, over time, even the lower-level officers began to disperse, and the two became anxious.

However, the two had different countermeasures. Tang Enbo, who had defeated the fleeing Seishiro Itagaki, asked Chiang Kai-shek, and after asking Chiang Kai-shek, he led the army to leave Funiu Mountain, Shangluo, Luonan and other areas, and advanced to Hubei. He originally planned to take root in Xiangfan, but was taken first by the Pioneer Army. He could not defeat the Pioneer Army, so he could only follow Chiang Kai-shek's orders and stationed in Zhongxiang and Jingmen. He gritted his teeth and blocked the Pioneer Army's pace of continuing to move south.

Meng Xiang didn't care about him, occupying a place, digesting and absorbing it. He didn't want to cause too much trouble with Chiang Kai-shek. After all, the opportunity for World War II is rare, so he can't even care about domestic struggles. At this time, the territory of the United War Zone, whether from population or resources, has temporarily been enough to make a basic need for profit in World War II. The remaining land is slowly annexed, and Meng Xiang is not in a hurry to need any name. Having strength is the best power. Invisibly, Meng Xiang has gradually become the number one real power figure in China, and handling things is more effective than Chiang Kai-shek.

This is also one of the reasons why Wei Lihuang chose to rely on the vanguard army. Under the general trend, many people understand that the future will inevitably belong to the vanguard army, and the strength of the Central Army is too different from it.

If everyone had only thought that the vanguard army was stronger than the Central Army, but in the subsequent wars, everyone realized that the vanguard army had surpassed the Central Army in terms of overall size, such as the number of people, personal skills, tactics, discipline, etc. The most important thing is that the vanguard army is particularly rich and has the support of the people. Even the economy in the war zone is much better than that in the Kuomintang-controlled areas. New factories and loud machines are built every day, and Chinese-made goods can be seen everywhere on the streets. It indicates that a new miracle is being born.

Not to mention anything else, the annual steel output of 110,000 tons last year made many people realize the strength of the Pioneer Army. At this time, whether it is industry to save the country, knowledge to save the country, education to save the country, new hope can be found on the territory of the Pioneer Army. Whether it is industry, new rural construction, or even compulsory education and various universities and vocational schools, a satisfactory answer can be delivered in the joint war zone.

Those who hold the idea of ​​a strong country in the army were even more moved by the vanguard army's repeated defeats of the Japanese. They knew the strength of the Japanese, and the strength of the Central Army was defeated by the vanguard army many times, and they could not get over the storm at all. Moreover, the strength of the vanguard army was not only reflected in various artillery, tanks, and even the air force overwhelmed the Japanese.

Even for the navy, the new Zhenyuan is still one of the largest battleships in the world at this time. There are also four aircraft carriers and various cruise destroyers, which have already had the ability to protect China's coastal defense. Although these were bought and their overall strength was slightly inferior to the Japanese Navy, such strength has already entered the ranks of naval powers and is worth a few in the world.

Such strength is naturally different from the Central Army. How can we not let others choose good trees to rest?

Tang Enbo knew that his foundation was in Lao Jiang. After all, he had the power of the central government and had a fast improvement. After reaching a high level, no matter where he invested, it would be a kind of capital.

Wei Lihuang's promotion position has reached its peak for the time being. He and Meng Xiang have won the second-level general together. It is not a rank of overlords like Li Zongren, Yan Xishan and others, and it is difficult to become a first-level general. And he is not the direct descendant of Chiang Kai-shek. Because he was dissatisfied with some of his actions before, it is not surprising that he chose to favor the vanguard army.

Zhang Zizhong, Fu Zuoyi, and even Yan Xishan defected to each other, and they lived a very comfortable life, which made Wei Lihuang feel much more relieved.

He was not the only one who was moved, but also many warlords of all walks of life were tempted. Because after two or three years, Chiang Kai-shek's pocket of money was not abundant, and the comparison between the vanguard army next to him showed a bright future for joining the vanguard army.

The Northwest Army and the Northeast Army were almost annexed by the Pioneer Army. The Southwest Princes still maintained their own territory and did not have much pressure, but many of their subordinates chose to defect to themselves. After all, there were not many rich princes in the Southwest, and they could not resist the temptation of the Pioneer Army's high treatment. Even the Sichuan Army defected to the Pioneer Army in large numbers.

At that time, the Sichuan Army shouted the slogan of not driving away the Japanese invaders and not returning home and headed to the front line of the War of Resistance. Although there were many economic and political reasons behind this, it is undeniable that the blood of hundreds of thousands of Sichuan people sprinkled the land of China. In this time and space, due to the rise of the Pioneer Army, many Sichuan Army foundations have won over, so the Pioneer Army has become the target of many Sichuan Army who have families but cannot return.

In addition to eating and drinking, no military pay was deducted and generous pensions, compared with other soldiers who died and could not find their bodies, the generals of the Pioneer Army were treated as a generous funeral that attracted the passionate men to join.

The Pioneer Army can satisfy both honor and interests, which is what attracts the Pioneer Army. Gradually, the unstable noises in the United War Zone slowly disappeared.
