Chapter 729 Decision-making (3)
After listening to Qin Zheng's summary, everyone finally had a clear understanding of the current situation in the Northeast. Although the situation in the Northeast is generally acceptable, there are still a large number of crises and must not be relaxed.
At this time, Xia Bohai said: "I think the military operation against Russia can begin. Now Britain, France, Japan and the Netherlands have signed a contract successfully, so there is no worries. Therefore, it is better to have Russian military operation sooner rather than later. If the number of troops in the Northeast is not enough, you can also draw 2 or 3 divisions from Shandong to reinforce. In short, Russia must be suppressed as soon as possible, otherwise it will be easy to change if it is late."
Xiao Jianjun said: "Okay, after the meeting, the Military Commission will immediately issue an order to the Northeast War Zone."
Xia Bohai said: "But this battle must be fought well and beautifully, otherwise the implementation of the treaty signed by us and other countries may change."
Qin Zheng said: "We are fully sure of this battle, but it is best if we can reinforce two divisions. It is not that our military strength is insufficient, but that the local security in the northeast now involves considerable energy from the troops. Once a new area is captured, the army will be needed to be stationed."
Xia Bohai nodded and said, "This is easy. We will give enough support to the Northeast War Zone. Lao Xiao, this matter will be done immediately and send two additional divisions to the Northeast War Zone."
Xiao Jianjun said: "Don't worry, send additional troops and orders to deal with it."
You Mingqian said: "It's December now, the coldest time of the year. Is it appropriate to launch an attack on the Russian army at this time?"
Xiao Jianjun said: "There is nothing suitable or not. Can the weather be discussed in war? If the temperature exceeds 30 degrees and the temperature is below 5 degrees, there will be no war? Our People's Army is not a strawberry soldier. When it is time to fight, it must fight. And when it is not suitable for combat, it can catch the enemy off guard."
Qin Zheng said: "You can rest assured that our troops have been in the northeast for a winter and are specialized in winter combat training. In addition, they also have relatively complete measures and equipment to prevent cold and keep warm, so they can fight at this time."
Xia Bohai said: "The battle matter was decided like this, but the establishment of the National Guard Army and the addition of personnel to the Northeast need to be discussed later."
It is still a war period, so military operations can be directly decided by the wartime working group, and the establishment of the National Guard and the addition of personnel to the Northeast all need to be discussed in the Senate Parliament.
Next, Wang Yunpeng introduced the work situation of East China ** over the past five years.
Of course, in the past five years, East China has indeed achieved considerable achievements. It can be said that it has built such a political system with generally complete functions from scratch. The social order is basically stable, and the rule of East China has also received relatively widespread and good payments.
In agriculture, Shandong has fully completed land allocation, and farmers' production enthusiasm has generally increased. Moreover, under the guidance of all levels of the country, various places have completed the construction of a number of water conservancy projects. In addition, East China has introduced some future, or modern foreign advanced agricultural technologies and planting methods. Therefore, under the comprehensive factors of these aspects, Shandong's crop land output is now very high per mu, and most places have reached the highest land output. Many farmers in some places lament that they have planted their land for life, and have achieved the highest harvest in recent years.
However, this kind of increase in output is still very limited, usually only 20-30% higher than in previous years, and the maximum increase is within 50%, far from achieving exponential increase. This is also normal, because agricultural production mainly relies on fertility, and in the absence of chemical fertilizers, it is impossible for agricultural production to double the increase on a large scale by relying solely on natural organic fertilizers. However, despite this, East China has achieved self-sufficiency in grain. Although East China has purchased a large amount of grain from outside in the past five years, it is for the purpose of reserves and preparations for the Far East War, not for the lack of production.
In terms of industry, although one and a half years have participated in the Far East War in the past five years, East China still basically completed the first five-year plan formulated at the beginning of its establishment. 37 major industries and basic projects have been basically completed, including steel plants, machinery factories, power plants, shipyards, railway construction, ports and other large industries. Of course, more than half of these 37 industrial and basic projects have been built for more than five years, and some have reached 10 years. Therefore, it can only be considered to be phased, but has been partially put into production and has begun to generate benefits.
Although it has not been able to fully realize industrialization in Shandong in the past five years, it is not possible to fully realize industrialization in just five years, but Bijing has laid an excellent foundation for East China **. Moreover, with the inclusion of compensation from various countries, East China ** will receive relatively sufficient development funds. Therefore, in the next five years, East China ** will have a leap in industrialization.
Of course, in the process of development, East China has encountered many problems. First of all, the unbalanced development. The first 5-year plan, 37 large industries and basic projects are basically concentrated in a few big cities such as Qingdao, Tianjin, Jinan, Yantai, etc. Qingdao alone accounts for 9, while most areas of other Shandong Province have not been stuck to the edge. Now Qingdao and Tianjin have a bit of a modern city. Some urban areas use lights and tap water, but other cities in Shandong have not changed much, or there is no change at all.
Moreover, in the second year of the first five-year plan, East China ** began to develop river and lake bases, but did not invest in a project in river and lake bases. Therefore, many products in river and lake bases are now needed in Shandong.
However, at the beginning of development, when funds, technology and technical personnel are insufficient, most of the manpower, material resources and financial resources are concentrated, and the development is focused on a few cities. To solve any problems first, it is also a correct development plan. Not only can a group of modern industrial manufacturing enterprises be quickly created, technology, experience, cultivate technical and management personnel, but it can also produce some industrial products by itself. In this Far East War, most of the weapons used by the People's Army and all the ammunition used by the People's Army can produce themselves, and they also have the assembly, manufacturing and maintenance capabilities of warships. This is also one of the important factors that the East China ** can win the Far East War. Otherwise, it is impossible for the East China ** to win the Far East War by relying on several modern warships.
However, this unbalanced development also causes great unfairness. Therefore, although it is beneficial in the short term, it is still quite harmful in the long term. Therefore, in the second five-year plan, we must choose a balance point in key development and balanced development.
As of now, the biggest problem encountered by East China ** is also a problem of personnel. Unlike the Northeast region, it is just a lack of management personnel. East China ** can be said to be short of everyone.
This is because the goal of time travelers is to establish a modern industrialized country. This span is indeed a bit bigger for China, which is mainly based on the natural economy and small peasant economy. Because industrialization requires a large number of industrial workers and managers with certain cultural and natural science knowledge. In this era, educated people can still find some, but most of them are scholars and scholars who are powerless. It is impossible to make them work as workers, and there are very few people who need certain natural science knowledge.
There are about 3,500 non-military personnel among the time travelers. Currently, they can be roughly divided into three categories. One is to work in ** institutions, with the largest number of people in this category, with about 2,200 people; the other is to work in factories, enterprises, and public facilities opened in East China, with about 1,000 people in this category; the other is to start a business independently, with the lowest number of people in this category, with only more than 300 people.
Of course, it is impossible to manage a country well with these people alone, even if it is just a Shandong Province. Therefore, whether it is in institutions, factories or enterprises, they need to be naturalized residents as grassroots managers.
Of course, if you are just a worker and really don’t understand natural science knowledge, you can also deal with it. As long as you are obedient, you can learn slowly at work. But the managers are different. Not only do you need culture and natural science knowledge, Guan Jian must be consistent with the East China ** in terms of ideas and concepts, not only to agree with the rule of East China **, but also to agree with the policies and governance concepts of East China **. This article almost killed all the Qing officials and scholars of this era.
Now the naturalized people appointed by the East China ** as grassroots managers are generally divided into three categories. The first category is the self-cultivation of East China **, and the training is divided into two categories. One is the training of the school, which has received systematic learning, cultural and natural science knowledge. Before the East China ** was established, it opened the Hope School. At that time, it was mainly recruited orphans. Later, after the East China ** stabilized, it was changed to recruit naturalized people, and a small number of children of gentry personnel who defected to the East China ***. Now the Hope School has trained about 4,000 graduates for the East China ***, all of which work in institutions or factories and enterprises, and in the future it can provide about 1,000 graduates to the East China *** in a stable manner. The other is the veterans and trained workers. These people have learned a certain amount of cultural knowledge in the army or factory. Although their cultural level is not high, they have accumulated considerable management and collaboration experience in social practice. Currently, there are about 2,500 people.
Overall, the advantages of this type of people are politically reliable, have high loyalty to the East China National University, and highly agree with the policies and governance concepts of the East China National University. In addition, both schools, factories and troops have developed the good habit of respecting discipline, acting seriously and having a rigorous style. But the disadvantage is that the graduates are too young, basically under the age of 20. Although their cultural and natural science knowledge is high, they lack social practical experience and need to be tempered for a period of time in their work to take on major responsibilities. The low cultural quality of veterans and workers is a flaw. Although they can still deal with it at the grassroots level, they will not be able to meet the strength when they reach a higher level.
