Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Li Zongren, who has been secretly serving as the chairman of the coalition government for a month at the Shenyang National Defense Forces General Command, has just returned to Guangxi to preside over the reorganization of the Guangxi army for less than a month. He had to return to Shenyang because of the unprecedented immigration in front of him.

In the small meeting room, Li Zongren, Chairman of the Coalition Government, Li Guosheng, Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Forces, Jiang Baili, Chief of Staff of the National Defense Forces, Mo Bin, Vice Chairman of the Coalition Government, and Li Guanghua, the Vice Chairman of the Government and Minister of the Logistics Department of the National Defense Forces, was in charge of the immigration.Five people sat around a small conference table, frowning tightly, and kept flipping through the documents that had just been handed out.

While everyone was looking through the documents in their hands, Li Guanghua, who was in charge of immigration work, opened his mouth to analyze: "Chairman Li, Chief, the document you are looking at was just compiled by the immigration offices of various places. The melee between warlords occurred because of the continuous drought in several provinces in the Central Plains, and hungry people were everywhere. As soon as the news of emigrating to the Northeast spread, people from all over the country seemed to have found a piece of paradise, and signed up one after another..."

"So far, the number of people who have gone to the immigration offices to register has reached an astonishing 1000 million. Among the 1000 million, the disaster-stricken provinces of Henan and Hebei accounted for the majority, followed by Sichuan Province, followed by Shaanxi and other provinces, and several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. The number of people is the smallest. In addition, due to the limited transportation capacity of this era, the first batch of 100 million immigrants are already on their way to the three northeastern provinces. Among them, 20 immigrants took a transport ship and took the sea under the protection of the navy. It is estimated that after ten days, You can reach Lushunkou. The remaining 80 immigrants will rely on two legs and migrate to the three northeastern provinces on foot. It is expected to be a month later. You can leave the customs..."

Seeing everyone nodded calmly, Li Guanghua continued: "The first batch of 100 million immigrants can enter the Northeast in a blink of an eye. They will become civilians under the rule of the National Defense Forces. The problem before us is: we have to transfer the first Where are the first million immigrants resettled, after all. There are too many places in the Northeast where millions of immigrants can be resettled..."

As soon as Li Guanghua's voice fell, a large map of the three northeastern provinces was placed on the conference table among everyone.Then, the eyes of several people converged on the map one after another.

But right here, Li Guosheng frowned suddenly, and ordered to Li Guanghua: "Minister Li, why are there only maps of the three eastern provinces, but no map of the Far East? You know, the Far East is now our land in China. It is the soldiers of our National Defense Forces who sacrificed their lives. It was taken back from the hands of the Soviets with blood.... Bring a map of the Far East right now..."

When the two maps were all placed in front of everyone, Li Zongren, the chairman of the government who had gradually entered the state, first said: "Commander-in-Chief, my idea is that we start with easy and then difficult... You know, our coalition government and the entire national defense force , have never had the experience of large-scale immigration. Under such circumstances, it is particularly important for us to accumulate experience through the first batch of immigrants. Since it is to accumulate experience, the difficulty of the first batch of immigrants should not be too great. Otherwise, I am worried that there will be some confusion. Therefore, I think that the first batch of immigrants should be resettled in Jilin and Heilongjiang, which have a certain agricultural foundation, preferably Jilin. Because Jilin is the closest to Shanhaiguan and Lushunkou..."

Li Zongren's words obviously touched the heart of Li Guanghua, who was under great pressure, and his voice just fell.Li Guanghua impatiently supported: "I agree with Chairman Li's opinion, first accumulate experience through one or two groups of relatively simple immigrants. Then, step by step resettle the immigrants to wastelands without any agricultural production experience, even in the Far East …”

Immediately afterwards, Vice Chairman Mo Bin, who was in charge of agricultural production, also spoke in support: "I also agree with this idea... From the perspective of time, this winter will pass in less than two months. And after winter, It’s time for the most important planting time of the year in Northeast China. Settling these immigrants in Jilin and Heilongjiang, where there is an agricultural foundation, as long as we hurry up, the first batch of immigrants can catch up with this round of planting. At that time, it will take up to half a year , these batches of immigrants can get rid of government relief, and can also provide the government with a large amount of tax revenue to support other immigrants in the customs who have gone to the northeast one after another... Therefore, it is definitely a good way to kill two birds with one stone by placing the first batch of immigrants in Jilin Province .”

From the perspective of accumulating immigration experience and reducing the pressure on the government, it is undoubtedly the best way at present to avoid the important ones and proceed with the minor ones.However, as a descendant, since the occupation of the three northeastern provinces, he has set his sights on the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces who has endless resources in the Far East.He will never give up the cornucopia of endless resources in the Far East just for the petty profits of agricultural production in front of him.

When several people analyzed the benefits of avoiding the important and neglecting the important, Li Guosheng remained silent.Instead, he looked at the map of the Far East on the table and said nothing.

As the chief of staff of the National Defense Forces, Jiang Baili already knew Li Guosheng's character.Seeing the strange expression on Li Guosheng's face, he didn't express his opinion immediately.Instead, following Li Guosheng's gaze, he also focused his attention on the map of the Far East that had just been spread out.

After the few people headed by Li Zongren slowly focused their eyes on Li Guosheng, Li Guosheng's face, which was deep in thought, finally showed some fluctuations.After a gleam of light flashed from Li Guosheng's face, he said unreservedly to everyone: "Comrades, my idea is exactly the opposite of yours. Send all the first batch of immigrants to the Far East, where the environment is the worst. No matter how high the price our country pays for this, it will not hesitate.”

Seeing the perplexed and puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, Li Guosheng continued to speak in a startling way: "Comrades, the reason why I made this decision is very simple, that is, to compete with the old Soviet Union. Before reacting, occupy this piece of land that has been successfully recovered by us in a real sense, not just in a paper agreement...-."

"Perhaps you don't understand why I attach so much importance to this barren land. Here, I don't need to hide it from you. This piece of Far East land that has just been recovered by us, on the surface, there is very little land that can be cultivated and developed. , However, everyone is confused by the illusion we see in front of us..."

"I can tell everyone with certainty that as long as the vast Far East region is fully developed, it will be an unprecedentedly huge cornucopia for both the Soviet government and the Chinese nation."

If the Far East is really a cornucopia, then why the Soviet government, which has more advanced technology, did not align with development... This is the first thought of Li Zongren and others after listening to Li Guosheng's explanation.

The fanatical Li Guosheng seemed to see what everyone was thinking.Without hesitation about everyone's skeptical gazes on him, he opened his mouth to analyze: "Since you don't believe me, then I will give you a detailed analysis..."

"First look at the agricultural resources in the Far East. Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, Jiangdong 64 Tun has been a very large grain-producing area in the Far East. Here, I can say with certainty that if we reclaim all the thousands of square kilometers of land in Jiangdong 64 Tun, and Migrating millions of people there, the grain output of only 64 villages in Jiangdong is enough to feed 1000 million people."

"In terms of resources... On the surface, the most abundant resources in the Far East are no different from trees. In fact, it is not the case. In addition to the rich forest resources in the Far East, there are also animal resources, fur resources, and aquatic products in the Baikal region. The resources are unprecedentedly rich and can provide us with sufficient wealth. More importantly, a large amount of mineral resources such as oil, iron ore, and natural gas are buried under this land. As long as we can fully develop this land The Far East can definitely be regarded as an important cornucopia for the rise of our Chinese nation...."

"Commander-in-Chief, what you said is true. The Far East is really a cornucopia of buried resources..." Because of the continuous development of the defense industry.The demand for various resources has also become more and more.Mo Bin, the vice chairman of the government, is worrying about these things.His eyes lit up, and he asked Li Guosheng with a bright face.

Li Guosheng nodded affirmatively: "Of course. Do you think I will lie to you on this issue?"

At this moment, Li Guanghua, who is in charge of the logistics of the National Defense Forces, also asked with bright eyes: "Boss, is there really oil in the Far East... You don't know, as a large number of armored tanks began to be deployed to the troops, the logistics department has worked hard for a year The various fuels purchased from abroad for a long time were completely consumed in just one battle against the Soviet Union. If our National Defense Forces cannot have an oil field that is completely our own, and only rely on the purchase of fuel to maintain these armored units, sooner or later, we will All the armored combat vehicles here will lie on the battlefield due to lack of oil... If the Far East really has oil, I agree to develop the Far East first...."

Although Li Zongren was also very moved, he still asked Li Guosheng with a rational face: "Commander-in-Chief, it is very good to develop the Far East. But, have you ever thought that when we have no immigration experience, we will directly send the top How much will it cost to send millions of immigrants directly to the Far East where the environment is harsh? How many of the millions of immigrants can actually reach their destination..."

"In addition, it is now the coldest season in the Far East. If there is no sufficient logistical support and means of transportation, countless immigrants will surely fall down on the entire immigration journey. My idea is, can we postpone it for another two months? After the bad weather, we will migrate to the Far East and develop the Far East..."

Li Guosheng shook his head with a firm expression, and under Li Zongren's puzzled eyes, he said: "Chairman Li, I also want to wait another two months, but time waits for no one... two months later , we can emigrate to the Far East and deploy troops. After two months of recuperation, the Soviets can also emigrate to this cornucopia and occupy him again...."

"As for the specific reason, the chief of staff will introduce it to you..."

Under the signal of Li Guosheng, Jiang Baili pointed to several railway lines on the map and said: "Chairman Li, this also involves the Sino-Soviet battle that just ended a few months ago. When the enemy is strong and we are weak, In order to completely cut off the logistical supplies of hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops, in addition to sending the air force to blow up the Soviet military's logistics base, we also dispatched about 2000 special operations personnel to go deep into the territory of the Soviet Union as a unit and completely destroy these railway lines As well as all the supply stations on the railway line and the hoarding points of the old Maozi residents. Because of the continuous operations of the special forces for more than a month, the Far East area that has just been recovered by us has almost become a no-man's land."

"The Russians living in this area had to retreat along the railway line to the inland of the Soviet Union because the special forces burned their houses and food. Therefore, as long as the first batch of millions of immigrants enter the Far East now, they have just been The land that we recover will really be under our control."

"However, if we don't act immediately, it will be postponed for another two months. The hundreds of thousands of Russian natives who have withdrawn from this land can get enough food supplies from the country. Return here along the railway line, and again Occupy it. When the time comes. The evidence of our occupation of this land will be nothing but a blank slate, and we will never be able to obtain the right to war occupation of this land."

Li Zongren's face quickly revealed an expression of enlightenment, and he said to Li Guosheng and others: "I really didn't expect that there would be such an episode during the battle between the National Defense Forces and the Soviet Far East Red Army. The ultimate goal of the war troops to expel the Russians in this land is to allow the Chinese nation to truly occupy the land.”

Li Guosheng nodded noncommittally, and replied: "It was indeed considered at the time. Under the influence of the bad weather in the Far East, expelling the Russian aborigines in the Far East. Although cruel. However, in order for the Chinese nation to truly take back this land, no matter how cruel, I will And order the troops to do it."

After taking another deep look at Li Guosheng, who had a long-term vision in front of him, Li Zongren no longer insisted on his opinion.After a long sigh, he replied: "Commander-in-Chief, since this is the case, I agree to send all the first batch of immigrants to the Far East, through millions of Chinese. Really control this land. It's just that, during the entire immigration process, the National Defense Forces and the coalition government Adequate logistical support must be provided, otherwise, less than half of the 100 million migrants will actually reach their destination alive."

Several people reached a consensus, and Li Guosheng made a quick decision in his mind.Facing Li Guanghua in front of him, he ordered: "My preliminary idea is that among the 100 million immigrants, 80 people who traveled by land went directly to Jiangdong 64 villages. The 20 immigrants who traveled by land and sea landed in Vladivostok. Headed to Lake Baikal. In order to avoid The Soviet army went south again. In addition to the 20 immigrants, there was also a main division of troops going to Lake Baikal. As for which main division to go, it was up to the staff to decide..."

"In order to ensure that these immigrants enter the Far East smoothly and rush to their destinations. I order: the Logistics Department of the National Defense Forces to quickly assemble all transport vehicles except those required for combat readiness to participate in this immigration. The coalition government immediately gathers all private transport vehicles , also participated in this migration.”

"Second, [-] military doctors will be drawn from the army, bring enough medicines, and accompany the troops to escort the immigrants to two destinations."

"Thirdly, the coalition government, the Defense Force Logistics Department, from now on, through air and car transportation, quickly deliver food and supplies to the immigration must-pass. My request is that during the entire immigration process, no one will be allowed to appear. Immigrants fell on the emigration road because of hunger and cold...."

"Fourth, the coalition government immediately issued a notice to all government departments to form an administrative task force through voluntary registration, follow the immigrants, go to the immigration point, form a temporary government, and manage the immigrants."

After a series of orders, Li Guosheng believed that even during the entire immigration process, the first batch of immigrants would pay a certain loss.However, this loss must be controlled within a controllable range.

Therefore, after listening to the series of orders issued by Li Guosheng, Li Zongren, who was still frowning just now, and with a worried expression on his face, gradually relaxed.

"Angangang..." A long siren sounded from far to near, and slowly sounded from the place where the sea and sky meet, and black smoke pillars like dense forests began to appear in everyone's vision.

"Here we come..." With an exclamation from the crowd, Li Guanghua, who came to meet the first batch of immigrants in person, quickly raised his binoculars and looked in the direction of the smoke column.

Under the guidance of a cruiser, a large fleet, like a school of fish floating on the sea, is heading for the port of Vladivostok.

As the fleet got closer and closer to the port, the hull of the cruiser exuded bursts of cold air, followed by the huge hulls of several [-]-ton transport ships, and finally appeared clearly in everyone's telescopes.

Li Guanghua put down his binoculars, and asked a colonel in the logistics department beside him, "Director Li, are the temporary gathering places for immigrants ready... Can tents, food, and medicine meet the needs of 20 immigrants? You need to know , after half a month of sea transportation, the bodies of these immigrants must be very weak..."

The colonel officer who was named by Li Guanghua affirmed: "Minister, please rest assured that the tents seized by our National Defense Forces on the battlefield, plus the tents sent from China, will not only resettle 20 immigrants, but also resettle 40 immigrants. As for food and Don’t worry about medicines, the logistics department started stockpiling a week ago, enough for 20 immigrants to consume for a month.”

"Well..." Li Guanghua nodded in satisfaction, and while raising his binoculars again, he ordered: "Order all the officers and men responsible for welcoming the immigrants to prepare immediately... After the transport ship docks, you must pay attention to the maintenance... .Medical team, do a good job of treating the frail immigrants..."

"Yes, Minister..."

Under the anxious waiting of hundreds of thousands of people, the huge fleet with hundreds of transport ships of various types finally sailed into the military port slowly.As the transport ship gets closer and closer to the pier, the densely packed immigrants on the deck of the transport ship are also clearly visible in everyone's field of vision...
