: Unparalleled

Disputes are the most time-consuming. In August, the pace of the central government and the theater coalition government dragged over the telegrams.

The morning light in September penetrated the already cool morning and shone on Meng Xiang.

A pair of white and slender slender hands were held behind the rocking chair and swayed gently twice. Meng Xiang didn't care, but just squinted his eyes and looked at the clear sky.

"Mr. Zhou is here!" Before Tang Mingyue finished speaking, Zhou Bai's hurried footsteps rang on the stone road in the yard.

"Corrupt bureaucrat!" Zhou Bai's footsteps had just become soft on the lawn, but his voice was a little angry.

Meng Xiang stood up and stepped on the soft lawn, just looking at Zhou Bai with an angry face, smiling without saying a word.

The butt not only determines the head, but also affects personality. After Zhou Bai's personality has changed a lot after being in charge of the pioneer army economy. More often, a person does not live for himself. More often, he needs to consider the feelings of everyone around him and behind him. However, after hearing this complaint, Meng Xiang suddenly discovered that Zhou Bai still had the shadow of the old angry young man.

"The Central Committee members refused to give in. They have forgotten where their power came from. Only the people, only the people who shouted in their mouths but kept trampling on their feet, are the ones who gave them the ultimate rights. Since these powers can be given to them, they can also be taken away from their hands!" After Zhou Bai sat down, he took the milk tea sent by Tang Mingyue and took a sip.

Zhou Bai's words instantly coincided with some of the impressions in Meng Xiang's mind. The confusion that he had just recalled his previous personality in the sky also disappeared with Meng Xiang's smile.

"Of course they won't give in! Who is willing to let the people take control of the power they have?" Meng Xiang said lightly.

Since the Pioneer Army captured Jiangbei, the scope of the United War Zone has included the removal of the entire northeast, plus the Jiangsu-Zhejiang base in the south and the gradually expanded Lingnan base. With so many territories, some people have proposed to establish a new government. Of course, this is not to build a new banner, but to negotiate with the central government to re-elect a new president.

Wishes are good, but reality is always helpless.

If a force similar to Chiang Kai-shek makes this request, perhaps under the control of the backstage, a new regime team from various places can be produced by a democratic election. Even if Chiang Kai-shek is taken down, it doesn't matter. But the vanguard army has already caused everyone to panic.

"If it is a democratic election, the ultimate winner will definitely be the Pioneer Army, and there will definitely not be much soup left. Will they let it go?" Tang Pharmacist had been disdainful of this kind of peace talks for a long time.

It is better to be an official for one day than a citizen for a hundred days.

Many opponents of the central government had already arrived at the vanguard army early, which purified the central party's team. At this time, the central government united in confrontation with the vanguard army.

"I originally thought that there were many revolutionary pioneers among those people who should support it, but who knew that they were all short-sighted people who were greedy for wealth and honor. Have they forgotten the slogans they shouted when they held up the banner of democracy and freedom that day?" Zhou Bai still said indignantly.

"The way is different, and we don't plan together! People will change!" Meng Xiang sighed. But he was thinking about the Pioneer Army in his heart. "In a few years, will the Pioneer Army's regime also rot?"

"Only flowing water can not be corroded. The most important thing is flow, that is, the passage needs to be kept unobstructed. Which river does not have an inlet and outlet channel to ensure flow? Only by moving from bottom to top and constantly rotating, and not making it a toy that a few profit-loving groups have long-term control can the regime ensure that the regime will not become a stagnant pool!" Meng Xiang had also talked to Tang Pharmacist, Zhou Bai and others about this question, and Zhou Bai answered this at that time.

"It's easier said than done!" Tang Pharmacist sighed, "There is no mud and sand in that river. Over time, it will naturally block everywhere, making the passage not smooth!"

Meng Xiang also understood that at this time, he was able to promote democratic elections because the clone soldiers in his hands had already given him the initiative to form an advantageous group, which made him not too much influenced by those short-sighted people who were limited by history. At the same time, under the fairness and integrity of clones, he played the advantages of democracy.

"But what if the fair protection of cloned soldiers is lost in the future?" Meng Xiang was constantly exploring this. He did not want another cycle behind him. Until a certain year and month, a new time traveler will perform the savior.

"There is only the only way to elect according to the will of the people. Times have changed, and the needs and wishes of the people are also changing. Their voices are most in line with the development of the times. So there is still some truth to the election. Collecting most of the suggestions is always stable than the will of a few people." Meng Xiang felt something, "Maybe people nowadays seem to be less affordable than a bag of salt, but once democracy begins to take root in people's minds, it will continue to gather in the direction everyone expects. The growth period is always a little naive, but it has begun. When the new generation of Chinese people with the imprint of democracy grows up, democracy is already the trend and no one stops it."

"It is difficult to modify the style in a frame. It is better to repaint on a piece of white paper!" Meng Xiang looked at Zhou Bai who was still angry and suddenly sighed.

"Sun Bai?" Zhou Bai said hesitantly. Among the various opinions, there were not only those who advocated self-esteem with the central government, some advocated unification by force, and even those who advocated Jun Xian's imperial reputation. After hearing Meng Xiang's sigh, Zhou Bai suddenly thought that Meng Xiang was about to start again.

"According to the fact, it's just his name!" Meng Xiang smiled and said Tang Yaoshi's idea, "Those people in the central government will never break this layer of window paper. They prefer to wear the emperor's new clothes! Let's keep the last one for them!"

Zhou Bai smiled bitterly, the Pioneer Army was the real one this time.

Some time ago, the Pioneer Army opened its doors to recruit soldiers again, and this time Meng Xiang increased the number by one million.

"Three million regular troops!" Zhou Bai, who received this news, couldn't help but breathe in the air for this number, but what made him even more dizzy was that there was an order behind "additional service, etc., a total of seven million troops."

"There is too much financial pressure like this!" Zhou Bai said bitterly. Seeing the Chinese economy beginning to enter the track of rapid development step by step, Zhou Bai still didn't want war to drag down this still somewhat fragile economy.

"This is a one-year task. Before June next year, the training will be done." Meng Xiang smiled, "The relevant military expenses are still the fees for using a dedicated account."

The Pioneer Army had no war for more than half a month, and the plan to attack in the south was cancelled. The weakness of the *** people made Meng Xiang give up the follow-up plan. He was afraid that he would beat them to lose their ambition to the outside world. He could only turn the open chess into secret chess, transforming large-scale battles into guerrilla activities in the southern countryside and mountains, and laying out the entire network that controlled the periphery of the Japanese.

In this way, when the two million troops were idle, Meng Xiang took the opportunity to expand and adjust the new organization while expanding.

Meng Xiang took action first and then reported. Since he did not expect the *** above to express his compassion, he would prepare it for him. It would be better to adjust it yourself from the beginning.

"Who are you?" Zhao Tiedan put his hands on his back and stepped on his military boots next to his sweat-covered bronze faces.

"China National Welfare Force!" a group of soldiers sitting in exhausted push-ups shouted loudly.

"What is your mission?" Zhao Tiedan's roar echoed in everyone's ears.

"Defend the country!" The shouts of the new recruits mixed together, stirring up the wind blowing through the grassland, shaking away the clouds in the sky, and letting the more vicious suns dry.

Xia Erwa, who walked off the training ground, wiped the sweat from the corners of her eyes, and took off a small piece of curly dry belt that shed off the corners of her eyes. The sweat mixed with the salt crystals rolled down from the salty white marks left behind, making the new skin feel a little painful.

"Just let's dry it again!" The person sitting in the shade of the tree next to him was Daoist Chen grinning when he saw this, "Have you ever been so poisonous in the sun since you were a child?"

"In our mountain, we can't see many suns all year round!" Xia Erwa didn't want people to feel that he was delicate, explained.

"Sichuan or Guizhou?" Fellow Daoist Chen asked casually.

"Sichuan!"

"Oh! Remember, drink more light salt water later!" Chen reminded with kindness.

"Bright, light salt water?" Xia Erwa didn't understand what it was.

"People sweat a lot, and salt has come out. Look at the white things on you. You need to replenish more later!" Fellow Daoist Chen gave a guide.

"You know so much?" Xia Erwa enviously.

Fellow Daoist Chen smiled proudly without saying a word. These were all handed down by the instructor. After the recruits entered the recruit training camp, several veterans would be stuffed into each team. With veterans to take the lead, it would be easier to improve. Fellow Daoist Chen has participated in the veterans of the Pioneer Army for more than a year. There are study classes in the army to teach some basic knowledge, but these recruits have not yet learned the basic skills of the recruits and have not started yet.

Xia Erwa suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Then do you know why we are also called the National Defense Forces? Isn't the original Pioneer Army very good?"

"You have asked the right person. If you want to ask others, there are really few people who know!" When fellow Daoist Chen heard this, he couldn't help but say proudly.

"Why?" Xia Erwa said interested. He had already come from Sichuan after hearing the name of the Pioneer Army. He had just joined the army but heard that the Pioneer Army had changed its name. He had no time to learn about other things in the busy training of recruits.

"Do you know, our Pioneer Army was at most a local army before. Once we changed the title of the National Defense Force, it will naturally be different. You must know that the National Defense Force is an army title that can only be called by a country, and it is national-level!" Friend Chen pretended to be mysterious and said backwards. He heard the words from the battalion commander, but Xia Erwa was still confused.

"Just like daming and nickname. Nickname is the title of our vanguard army, used at home, and the National Defense Forces are formal daimyos called outside!" Fellow Daoist Chen, who explained very classically, couldn't help but secretly said proudly, "Daming is more powerful!"

When Xia Erwa thought of the name of Erwa who had been growing up, she couldn't help but blink again and looked at Fellow Daoist Chen enviously.

The Pioneer Army has changed its name, which is also quite a bit of news.

"Gun the gun is external, and you are proud to defend your country and defend the borders of the motherland!" This is one of the slogans shouted by the vanguard army.

Since the Pioneer Army wants to be reorganized, it will inevitably lead to a loss of talk. However, the Pioneer Army clearly put forward the title of National Defense Forces, which is to make the attitude clear. The guiding ideology of "nationalization of the military" has also won the support of the people.

The vanguard army's banner of nationalization pilot project was also a slap in the face of the Central Army's Party and army, making them unable to speak too much. With this moral high point, the remaining adaptation will be smooth, whether internally or externally.

Meng Xiang naturally doesn't have to worry. Even though the number of people has expanded repeatedly, under the supervision of the clone soldiers, plus the ordinary direct lineages trained in the past two or three years, it is no problem to control the army. The new organization undoubtedly also an excuse to block some of the internal mountains, and use another round of recruits to join the army to break up those low mountains.

In the preliminary plan, the National Defense Forces adopted the organization of corps, divisions, regiments, battalions, and company squads.

"This time, the brigade and army were removed, but a lot of people were adjusted!" Fan Zhong said with some reason after seeing the military reorganization plan proposed by Meng Xiang.

"With advanced communication tools, the links of command and communication between superiors and subordinates can be gradually cancelled. After the legion's strategic intention is transferred to the division level, the division can be refined directly from the battalion level to perform various tactical tasks." Meng Xiang did not intend to disarmament and reduce the vassal states, but these are all future experiences.

"The brigade organization can continue to exist in some special organization. In addition, the organization of the army can be temporarily granted during battle. Now, it is also suitable for the establishment of the army unit." Meng Xiang also considered that it was unrealistic to let a group of commanders who were not at the level of the army become division commanders for no reason, so he left some room.

"But this re-grant is necessary to be cautious!" Even Fan Zhong, who doesn't pay much attention to miscellaneous things, couldn't help but persuade him.

"Well, I will pay attention." Meng Xiang also nodded solemnly. When it comes to military rank honors, the things here are complicated. But with the changes in the military system, it will naturally affect military rank medals and other things. Meng Xiang does not want to leave this issue for the outbreak of a large-scale war. That will only make some things worse.

"There is no seal, and it will be even more troublesome at that time!" Meng Xiang sighed. At this time, there were already a large group of generals under the vanguard army. There were also many generals and lieutenant generals. If a war started, as the military merits were accumulated, the award of this military rank would not be temporarily adjusted. We must quickly cut the mess in advance to establish a more suitable system. We can squeeze out the water as soon as possible to leave room for the future. Otherwise, it would be easier to cause chaos after the war.

"As long as some actual treatment remains unchanged or even increases, the trouble will be less!" Meng Xiang said with a smile.

"Yes, compared with the Central Army and other teams, our military treatment is already very good!" Fan Zhong sighed, "As soon as the legal currency depreciates in the Central Army, the treatment is even worse than that in our place, we will directly issue the ocean!"

Thinking of this incident, Meng Xiang smiled and asked Zhou Bai: "How are the prices in Chongqing?"

"I have overcome this wave of difficulties, but it is hard to say in the future." Zhou Bai shook his head slightly, "This time it was entirely up to the foreign exchange support of Britain and the United States to stabilize the continued decline of the fiat currency, and did not let the *** people succeed in their plan."

The *** people finally spread out the fake French currency they printed, manipulated the financial market and suppressed the legal currency.

This time, the Americans who received a request for help from Chiang Kai-shek took action. The British helped him even in times of crisis.

The Pioneer Army was closely connected with the Germans, and the *** people's activities in Southeast Asia and other places made them worried. In any case, the British were unwilling to let Chiang Kai-shek fall like this. Although they were still beaten up by the Germans at this time, there were still a lot of gold coins. They lent Chiang Kai-shek 10 million pounds, plus the Americans' 50 million US dollars, quickly suppressed a trend of depreciation of the fiat currency.

Although Meng Xiang hoped that Chiang Kai-shek would make a fool of himself, he did not want the people to suffer as well. He also joined the financial sniper battle. He spent 50 million US dollars and cheated the people.

"This time, more than 10 million US dollars have been earned, but the biggest gain is that the unexpected people in the United War Zone trust our pioneer coins more. Compared to a piece of white paper, our copper coins and silver coins are still very marketable. Unfortunately, the quantity cannot meet the demand, and the overall popularity is limited. It seems that we will need paper coins in the future." Zhou Bai smiled.

"In this special period, wait until it is settled, don't worry too much about the problem of metal coins. It's just a temporary stress, and demand will be supplied in a while." With another sharp depreciation of the fiat currency, the metal tickets of the Pioneer Army have become a hot item in China, which has actually insufficient supply. However, when the base machines and multiple copper mines are activated, this problem will be solved.

Meng Xiang did not plan to exchange paper money at this time. There will be a more harsh war waiting for them soon, and the monetary system in the rear must remain stable.

"Okay!" Zhou Bai sighed, "This time I went to Chongqing, I opened my eyes."

"What's wrong?" Meng Xiang asked, putting down the teacup in his hand.

"The rich people smell wine and meat, and they have frozen bones on their way! They only care about drunkenness, but they can't even see the things around them. They really think they are wearing the emperor's new outfit!" Zhou Bai sighed, "The rice market in Chongqing has doubled again. People who starve to death on the roadside every day, as if they are a different life!"

Since the implementation of the minimum living allowance, although this minimum living allowance cannot make people eat a full meal, it definitely cannot starve to death. In addition to the assistance of some charitable units, it has been a long time since the United War Zone starved to death. However, Zhou Bai visited Chongqing and found skinny and weak bodies lying on the streets in this big city known as the most prosperous National Construction Zone.

"I remember that although the harvest last year and this year were a little different, the Central Army's weapons were exchanged with us with other items, and they did not use food. It is estimated that there should be no shortage of food, right?" Meng Xiang frowned. These things were not described in the intelligence of ordinary people, and the cloned intelligence personnel did not care about them at all.

"After the beginning of the European war, grain prices in the international market rose, and some people reselled grain, disrupting the market. With the influence of the depreciation of the fiat currency, many people were hoarding grain. The total number was enough, but the rich were uneven, the rich were full of rice, and the poor were starving to death!" Zhou Bai said sadly, "Chongqing senior officials are still full of lights and wine, and high-end luxury goods are best-selling. However, the *** people shouted the slogan of 'luxury is the enemy', and Hirohito took the lead in reducing food, and the royal family took the lead in taking gold and silver jewelry. This, alas, it is incomparable!"
