Although the new senior management of ** has not officially taken office, it is actually the same group of people. Therefore, there is no handover of work in various departments and it is still going on normally.

On December 20, 1906, the First Executive Yuan of East China held its last Executive Meeting, and this meeting had a total of 3 key topics:

First, Qin Zheng reported on the situation in the Northeast. Now that East China has successfully negotiated with Japan, there is only the last target of Russia. Although the pressure has been greatly reduced, it does not mean that you can rest assured. The current Northeast still restrains more than 60% of the army forces in East China. It not only consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, but also forces East China not to send Qin Zheng to the Northeast. Therefore, as long as Russia does not surrender, East China will find it difficult to devote all its energy to economic and industrial development. And the next important goal of East China is to force Russia to surrender.

To force Russia to surrender is naturally closely related to the situation in the Northeast. If the rule of East China in the Northeast is stable and the social order in the Northeast is normal, it will certainly be beneficial to the suppression of Russia in East China, otherwise it will be unfavorable. In addition, the Northeast region will be the next key area for East China to develop and develop. Understanding the current situation in the Northeast region will also help the Executive Yuan formulate targeted plans.

The second key topic summarizes the work situation of the first five years of East China. In fact, this is also a regular routine work of each year. Since there is a work summary at the end of the year, everyone is basically aware of the situation of East China. However, the current situation is a bit special. The compensation from Britain, France and the Netherlands has been received, and the handover of Borneo has been completed. In addition, Japan will also receive compensation at the beginning of next year. These are new variables, and of course it also needs to be explained.

The last topic is the real theme of this conference. In the next five years, what is the main goal of East China*? Although before this battlefield, East China* has basically reached a consensus that after the war, East China* will focus on developing the economy and building industry, but how long is this development period, whether it includes the five-year term of office of this term of ** officials, is still not determined. The most important question is that in these five years, the war to completely overthrow the Qing court and unify China.

Although the Qing court has no strength now, it is a centipede after all, and it is not dead without being stiff. Moreover, due to the inertia of history, it still has strong commands. Although it is not enough to pose a substantial threat to the East China **, it is still possible to cause some trouble to the East China ***. Therefore, as long as the Qing court exists for one day, the East China ** cannot devote itself to development.

Moreover, the development of industry and industrialization are not achieved overnight. Even if we spend all these five years, it is impossible to build the current territory of East China into an industrial society. Therefore, we will completely overthrow the Qing court and unify China. Although the development speed will slow down, we can concentrate the country's manpower and material resources, unify the plan, develop the economy and establish industrialization, and there is no need to worry about any control. Moreover, the current strength of East China will not be suspenseful to defeat or overthrow the Qing court. Therefore, in these two plans, we must of course discuss carefully.

Of course, to completely overthrow the Qing court and unify China, we must first stabilize the areas occupied by this war, namely the three northeastern provinces. If the northeast cannot settle down, nothing will be done. Therefore, Qin Zheng's report has become an important reference for the decision-making of East China.

Qin Zheng returned to Qingdao from Chenyang and had prepared a summary report for the Northeast, so he also made a summary calmly at this time.

First of all, let’s talk about the military arrangement. Now the People’s Army has arranged four armies in the Northeast region. One of them has only 2 divisions and 2 regiments, a total of 14 divisions, 11 regiments, three armored train formations, a cavalry brigade (including three cavalry regiments), and a vehicle-mounted self-propelled artillery formation, consisting of 6 200mm artillery pieces; an automobile-torn artillery formation, including 18 155mm field artillery pieces, totaling about 280,000 troops, and there are about 500,000 logistics personnel.

The distribution of the troops in the whole body is that 5 divisions, 3 regiments, a cavalry regiment, an armored train formation, and 2 200mm vehicle-mounted self-propelled artillery were arranged in Manzhouli, with a total of about 100,000 troops. This is also the defense of the largest gathering of troops in East China, and it is in conflict with the Russian army with Chita as its core.

Other areas are: 3 divisions were arranged in Vladivostok; 2 divisions and 1 regiment were arranged by the Yalu River; 1 division and 3 regiments were arranged along the Binzhou Line of the Central and Eastern Railway, and 1 cavalry regiment, and an armored train formation were arranged along the Binzhou Line of the Central and Eastern Railway, along the Binsui Line, and 2 divisions, 2 regiments, a cavalry regiment, and an armored train formation were arranged; 2 divisions, 2 regiments, a cavalry regiment, and an armored train formation were arranged in the Harbin-Da line section. Overall, the People's Army's defense forces in the entire Northeast region are still sufficient.

After nearly a year of rectification, the basic social order in the Northeast region has generally returned to normal and the economy is also recovering. Because it is in big cities, it has almost reached the level before the war. The establishment of the administrative agencies of East China has also covered all big cities, and when Qin Zheng left, it was radiating towards the county town.

In terms of clearing out bandits, the People's Army has achieved remarkable achievements. By the time Qin Zheng left Chenyang, the People's Army wiped out a total of 126 bandits, destroyed 84 bandit holes, killed 5,832 bandits, arrested 18,562 bandits, and executed 2,268 bandits with great crimes and great anger. It can be said that it has effectively curbed the proliferation of bandits in the Northeast. Although it still takes considerable efforts to completely eradicate the bandits, it can now be ensured that large and medium-sized cities, railways, important counties, towns and villages will basically not be invaded by bandits. This is also an important reason for the restoration of normal social order in the Northeast region. It is also an important reason for the East China ** and the People's Army to win a lot of reputation and the hearts of the people.

Another gain from the bandit suppression was that by taking advantage of the bandit suppression, a group of local armed forces in the Northeast region were collected, such as Zhang Zuolin, Feng Linge, Ma Rulong and others, who also joined the bandits one after another. Since these local armed forces are all locals and are familiar with the terrain and terrain, some of them were originally from bandits and were quite familiar with the bandit mentality and operational rules. Some of them also have acquaintances in many bandit gangs, so they played a great role in the bandit suppression work and made considerable contributions to the stabilization of the Northeast.

Of course, since the war is not over yet, these local armed forces in the Northeast region still have considerable independence and have a relatively loose relationship with East China. However, while suppressing bandits, East China also showed them strong strength. I believe that with the end of the war, East China can gradually completely digest and absorb these local armed forces in the Northeast region.

There are also prisoners of Japanese and Russian troops and labor captured from Japan, which were mainly resettled by establishing farms. Now 22 farms have been established, with the number of people in each farm ranging from 8,000 to 10,000, and the personnel are mainly labor captured from Japan. In addition, five engineering teams have been formed, ranging from 40,000 to 50,000 people. In Japan, prisoners of Russian troops are mainly responsible for building railways, highways and other road facilities.

At the same time, the Northeast region also provided about 150,000 labor force to Shandong, mainly labor force captured from Japan, and technical personnel and technical workers captured by Japanese and Russian troops; and provided about 200,000 labor force to Henan, and is gradually transporting to Henan. A total of about 650,000 labor force is used, but there are still about 200,000 labor force, which is concentrated in Lushun, waiting for resettlement and receiving simple Chinese education.

Qin Zheng also specifically explained the situation of the farm. The farms currently established are mainly distributed within 20-30 kilometers along the Middle East Railway in Jilin and Heilongjiang Province. Fully closed management is implemented. There are more than 3 meters of high walls around the farm. A 6-8-width and 2 meters deep trench was dug out on the periphery. First, to prevent people from escaping from the farm, and second, to guard against bandits and wild animals.

Each farm has 2-4 crossers as the main responsible persons, plus 25-30 naturalized personnel, as well as about 200 logistics personnel. At the same time, the army stationed in one company is also stationed. Both crossers and naturalized personnel are wearing guns, and the logistics personnel are also equipped with about 50 rifles, which ensures that each farm has more than 200 guns and a small number of machine guns, which can completely suppress the labor force in the farm.

The main purpose of the farm is to develop land farming and animal husbandry on the edge; however, of course, the farm has not started to cultivate. Since the areas established by the farm are basically wasteland, during this period, the main work of the farm is to prepare for farming, including leveling the site, cutting trees and weeding, draining and filling, scattering ash and fertilizing, building roads, digging canals, building fences, and building temporary rest facilities outside the farm. After the spring of this year, some land can be started to cultivate. Of course, it is not to plant crops, but to plant some plants that can increase the land. The crops can only be planted in the second year. If it is formally planted, it will take at least three years to wait.

As for the management of farm personnel, that is, the Japanese, the collective management method is still adopted. The man is mainly responsible for heavy physical labor, the woman is responsible for logistics support, and some non-heavy physical labor. He will study Chinese for about an hour every night, and strive to give each Japanese a basic Chinese communication ability within one year. He can get a day off every 10 days and organize entertainment activities every month.
