Chapter 602 Response Plan (2)
Wang Yunpeng said: "In terms of civil affairs, the first thing is to establish a complete local administrative management system in the Northeast region. Now, wars in the Northeast region are basically in border areas, and most places have at least restored peace, so it is inappropriate to take military control. Except for war zones where there are still military garrisons, such as Vladivostok, Lushun, and Harbin, it can be temporarily suspended, and other places should be able to change from military control to civilian management."
Xiao Jianjun frowned and said, "Isn't it too early to hand over the Northeast to civil management now? And once the Northeast is converted into civil management, it must be divided into at least three independent administrative regions. Although the war is basically in the border areas, most of the logistics supply, material preparation, and labor collection have to be digested by the Northeast. Although most of the materials are supplied by Shandong, the transportation arrangements along the way require unified arrangements in the Northeast. Even if the administrative regions cooperate and coordinate with each other, it is not as good as unified command. In addition, the bandits in the Northeast are still very serious, should we slow down again?"
Qin Zheng said: "Local military management is not a long-term solution after all, and handing over to civil affairs is also a general trend, but Lao Xiao's concerns are not unreasonable. I suggest that a temporary agency can be set up at present to manage the entire Northeast region as a whole. On the one hand, a complete local administrative management system is established in the Northeast region, and on the other hand, it will fully cooperate with the military's operations and take into account the bandit suppression affairs in the Northeast. After the war is over, the agency will be abolished and restored to provincial governance."
Xiao Jianjun said: "What does Lao Qin mean to establish an imperial envoy?"
Qin Zheng nodded and said, "It's almost the same thing. Of course, we cannot use the name of the imperial envoy, we should change the name."
Xia Bohai said: "Okay, this plan is feasible. Let's discuss the details later."
In fact, everyone knows that converting the Northeast to civil management is not just a matter of practice, but involves the subtle relationship between the central government and local governments, civil affairs and military. Although the East China government has been established for five years, most of the time, there are only Shandong provinces. Although there are two enclaves in Tianjin and Shanghai New District, these two enclaves are too small and have too strong dependence on Shandong, so there is no need to worry about it. Although they later avoided river and lake bases, the river and lake bases were connected with Shandong territory. Moreover, the industrial foundations of river and lake bases were too poor, and weapons and ammunition were all supplied by Shandong, and they were all under the control of the Executive Yuan.
But the Northeast region is different. First of all, it has no territory connected to Shandong, has a vast territory and rich resources. Moreover, Russia has opened some factories in Lushun, Harbin, Shenyang, Vladivostok and other places, which can produce some weapons accessories and bullets, and has certain self-repair capabilities. Now, four armies of the People's Army are in the Northeast region, accounting for 2/3 of the total army. Therefore, civil affairs in the Northeast region are controlled by the army for a long time, which is naturally not a good thing. If it is not done well, it will form a situation where the army is separatist and the force is not strong.
But the war has not yet ended. The Northeast region is an important logistics base for the People's Army. It is obviously not good for the war. Therefore, setting up a temporary agency to uniformly manage the Northeast region and connecting the relationship between the local and the army is the best choice. On the one hand, it can ensure the efficiency of supplying the army; on the other hand, although this is only a temporary position, since it can govern the three provinces, only officials at the ministry-level level are qualified to take office. In this way, after the war is over, they will not feel sorry for the cancellation of this position, and they will completely eliminate the situation of local forces growing.
All participants have been in office for 4 or 5 years. After so many years of experience and the rich experience of China's political experience, they are enough to train them all to become qualified politicians, so they can see this issue very clearly.
Xia Bohai said: "Is there anything else?"
Wang Yunpeng said: "There is also the development plan for the Northeast region."
Xia Bohaidao: "The problem of Northeast development can be delayed. After all, developing Northeast China is not something that can be completed in a short period of time. It will take at least 10 years. It will be longer, and now is not the time, so there is no need to rush for a while."
Wang Yunpeng said: "The discussion on Northeast development can be slow, but one thing should be determined as soon as possible, which is related to whether Northeast development can proceed smoothly."
Xia Bohai said: "Oh! What's the matter?"
Wang Yunpeng said: "The population in the Northeast is insufficient. It is recommended to determine the immigration plan for the Northeast as soon as possible. Otherwise, the development of the Northeast will definitely be affected. In this era, the number of labor force in a country is also one of the conditions for development."
Zhang Yuming said: "Is the population in the Northeast insufficient?"
Wang Yunpeng nodded and said, "Although we did not conduct a census in the Northeast, according to the information of this era, the population in the Northeast is about 15 million. Even if there are hidden populations, it will not exceed 20 million. According to the Shandong Province census we completed the previous year, the population in Shandong Province is now 34.2 million, but the area of Shandong Province is less than 160,000 square kilometers, and the Northeast we occupy is about 1.2 million square kilometers. In addition, the population distribution in the Northeast is also extremely uneven, and the area of Liaoning Province is only It is similar to Shandong, and it only accounts for about 13% of the total area of the Northeast region we occupy, but the population reaches more than 10 million, accounting for about 2/3 of the total population of the Northeast region. The area of Heilongjiang Province accounts for about 60% of the total area, with a population of only about 1.4 million, less than 1/10 of the total population. Therefore, to fully develop the Northeast region, a detailed immigration plan must be formulated. I believe that in the next 20 years, at least 15-20 million must be immigrated to the Northeast. By immigrating a large number of people to Heilongjiang, we can ensure the development speed of the Northeast."
Ye Yanfu said: "Is the population of Northeast China so small? I remember that during the old time and space Lao Zhang ruled the Northeast, the population was 30 million, and Lao Zhang became the king of Northeast China. In about 1920, in just over a dozen years, could the population of Northeast China double?"
Qin Zheng said: "The increase in the population in the Northeast mainly depends on immigration, which is the famous "Chuangguandong" in the history of the old time and space. In fact, it is a large number of immigrants to the Northeast. However, this kind of immigration is not an official organization, but is spontaneous by the people. The official occasionally does some guidance and resettlement work, but most of the time is left alone, and the time has continued for nearly a hundred years. Now is the uncertainty of "Chuangguandong" and it is also the peak period. The increase in the population in the Northeast is mainly in 20 years."
You Mingqian said: "That's not very good. We will organize immigration. Not only will it be more efficient, but it will also have a shorter time, and the immigrant population will be more."
Qin Zheng said: "It's not that easy. First of all, we immigrate to the northeast, mainly Hebei, Henan, and Shandong. From Shandong, it accounts for more than 40% of the immigrants in the northeast. Moreover, the farmers who immigrate to the northeast all have no land in the local area and basically cannot survive, so they have to immigrate to the northeast, because there is a lot of unowned land in the northeast, so we can find a glimmer of life. But now Shandong and Henan have been occupied by us, and Hebei has also occupied a part. Moreover, after the land reform, the farmers in Shandong and Henan can basically ensure their own survival, and naturally there is no motivation to immigrate. Unless it is forced by us, this is obviously not implemented."
You Mingqian said: "So, in the future, the number of immigrants to the Northeast will gradually decrease."
Qin Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid that's it. If we now unify the country or occupy most areas, we can immigrate to the Northeast through administrative means, encouragement, or garrison, but at present, it is impossible to immigrate to the Northeast on a large scale."
You Mingqian said: "That's going to be troublesome."
Wang Yunpeng also nodded and said, "It's really troublesome."
Xia Bohai said: "I can only let go of immigration matters first, but I have a way to temporarily slow down the population problem in the Northeast." He turned to Xiao Jianjun and said: "Old Xiao, how many prisoners have we captured in total now."
Xiao Jianjun said: "The Russian prisoners are about 380,000, and the Japanese prisoners are divided into two types, with about 120,000 soldiers and about 150,000 labor service personnel, totaling about 270,000, totaling about 50,000 in mainland China."
Wang Yunpeng said: "Why, Lao Xia plans to send these prisoners to the Northeast to develop the Northeast?"
Xia Bohai said: "Why not? It takes a lot of money to raise 650,000 prisoners, and we cannot raise so many prisoners in vain. We always have to let them do something and create some value. Moreover, so many prisoners are locked up and it is hard to guarantee that nothing will happen. It is better to send them to the Northeast to open up land and work, and consume their energy. Moreover, these prisoners are young and middle-aged people, and they are all very good laborers."
Wang Yunpeng thought about it and thought that this arrangement was good. In fact, the 650,000 prisoners were indeed very troubled to Wang Yunpeng. Although he arranged some prisoners to mine, he only arranged thousands of people. After all, it was not enough to use so many people to start mining, and Shandong's large-scale infrastructure has basically stopped, so so many prisoners could not be arranged at all. According to Xia Bohai's suggestion, it is a good idea. Now the Northeast region does require a large amount of labor, and 650,000 prisoners seem to be not many among immigration, but these prisoners are all excellent labor. If it is divided into a population, it can be equivalent to at least 2 million. After all, it is a population, there are elderly, young and young women. These people cannot be considered labor. Even young and middle-aged men cannot compare with soldiers. This is not a small number.
