After listening to Qin Zheng's summary, everyone finally had a clear understanding of the current situation in the Northeast, although on the whole, the situation in the Northeast is generally acceptable, but there are still a large number of crises, and we must not relax.

At this time, Xia Bohai said: "I think the military operation against Russia can begin, now that Britain, France, Japan and the Netherlands have successfully signed the contract, there is no need to worry about the future, so the military action against Russia should also be 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, we must suppress Russia as soon as possible, otherwise it is easy to change later." ”

Xiao Jianjun said: "Okay, after the meeting, the Military Commission immediately issued an order to the Northeast Theater. ”

Xia Bohai said: "But this battle must be fought well and fought beautifully, otherwise the implementation of the treaties we have signed with other countries may change." ”

Qin Zheng said: "We are fully sure of this battle, but if we can reinforce 2 divisions, it is the best, not that our military strength is insufficient, but that the local security in the northeast now involves a considerable amount of energy of the troops, and once a new area is captured, the army needs to be garrisoned." ”

Xia Bohai nodded and said, "This is easy, we will give enough support to the Northeast Theater, Lao Xiao, this matter will be done immediately, and two additional divisions will be sent to the Northeast Theater." ”

Xiao Jianjun said: "Don't worry, send additional troops and send orders to deal with it together." ”

You Mingqian said: "It's December, which is 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 inappropriate, can we still talk about good weather in a war? If the temperature exceeds 30 degrees and the bottom is 5 degrees, we will not fight? Our People's Army is not a strawberry soldier, and when it is time to fight, even if there are knives in the sky, we must fight." Moreover, when the attack is not suitable for combat, it can also take the enemy by surprise. ”

Qin Zheng said: "At this point, everyone can rest assured that our troops have gone through a winter in the northeast, and they have specially conducted winter combat training, and they also have relatively complete cold and warm measures and equipment, so they can fight at this time." ”

Xia Bohai said: "The matter of the operation has been decided in this way, but the establishment of the National Guard, as well as the matter of increasing personnel to the northeast, still need to be discussed." ”

It was still a time of war, so military action could be decided directly by the wartime working group, and the creation of the National Guard, as well as the addition of personnel to the northeast, would need to be discussed in the Senate.

Then Wang Yunpeng introduced the work of East China in the past five years.

Of course, in the past five years, East China has indeed made considerable achievements, and 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 been paid more widely and well.

In terms of agriculture, Shandong has completed the distribution of land in an all-round way, and the peasants' enthusiasm for production has generally increased, and under the guidance of the first at all levels, the construction of a number of water conservancy projects has been completed in various places. The introduction of some of the future, or contemporary foreign advanced agricultural technology and planting methods, so under the comprehensive factors of these aspects, the yield per mu of crop land in Shandong is very high, most places have reached the highest yield of the land, and farmers in many places have lamented that they have planted a lifetime of land, and the harvest is the highest in recent years.

However, this increase in production is still very limited, usually only 20-30% higher than in previous years, and the maximum increase is also within 50%, far from achieving a multiplier of production. This is also normal, because agricultural production mainly depends on fertility, and in the absence of chemical fertilizers, it is impossible for agricultural production to double in a large area by relying only on natural organic fertilizers. However, despite this, East China has achieved food self-sufficiency. Although in the past five years, East China has purchased a large amount of grain from abroad, but it is for storage and preparation for war in the Far East, not because of insufficient production itself.

In terms of industry, although one and a half years of the past five years were to participate in the Far East War, East China still basically completed the first five-year plan formulated at the beginning of its establishment, and 37 large industrial and basic projects were basically completed, including iron and steel plants, machinery plants, power plants, shipyards, railways, ports and other large-scale industrial and basic projects. More than half of the foundation projects have been built for more than 5 years, and some have even reached 10 years, so they can only be considered to be completed in phases now, but they have already been partially put into operation and are beginning to produce benefits.

Although the five years have not been able to fully achieve industrialization in Shandong, in fact, to fully realize industrialization, it is not possible to complete it in just five years, but Bi Jing has laid an excellent foundation for East China, and with the payment of compensation in various countries, East China will receive more adequate development funds, so in the next five years, the industrialization of East China will have a leap forward.

Of course, in the process of development, there are many problems encountered in East China, first of all, the unbalanced development, the first 5-year plan, 37 large industrial and basic projects are basically concentrated in a few large cities such as Qingdao, Tianjin, Jinan, Yantai, etc., Qingdao alone accounts for 9, and most of the other Shandong Province is not stuck to the edge, now Qingdao, Tianjin has become a bit of a modern metropolis, with some urban areas using electric lights and running water, but other cities in Shandong have not changed much, or not at all.

Moreover, in the second year of the first five-year plan, East China began to develop the river and lake base area, but did not invest in a project in the river and lake base area, so now many products in the river and lake base area need to be supplied by Shandong.

However, at the beginning of development, under the condition that funds, technology, and technical personnel are insufficient, it is also a correct development plan to concentrate most of the manpower, material and financial resources to carry out key development in a few cities, and to solve the problems first. It can not only quickly build a number of modern industrial manufacturing enterprises, accumulate technology and experience, train technical wood and management personnel, but also produce some industrial products. In this Far East War, most of the weapons used by the People's Army and all the ammunition used in the supporting facilities can be produced by themselves, and they are also equipped with the assembly, manufacturing capacity and maintenance capacity of warships, which is also one of the important factors for East China to be able to win the Far East War, otherwise it is impossible for East China to win the Far East War by relying on a few modern warships.

However, this unbalanced development has also caused huge inequality, so although it is beneficial in the short term, it is still harmful in the long run, so in the second five-year plan, it is necessary to choose a balance between key development and balanced development.

At present, the biggest problem encountered by East China is also the problem of personnel, unlike the lack of management personnel in Northeast China, East China can be said to be short of anyone.

This is because the goal of the traverser is to build a near-modern industrialized country, which is indeed a bit big for China, which is still dominated by the natural economy and small peasant economy in this era. Because industrialization requires a large number of industrial workers and managers with certain knowledge of culture and natural sciences. In this era, educated people can still find some of them, but the vast majority of them are powerless scholars and scholars, and it is impossible for them to become workers, and people who have a certain knowledge of natural sciences are rare.

There are about 3,500 non-military personnel among the traversers, and they can be roughly divided into three categories, one is working in the first organization, which is the largest, about 2,200 people; one is working in factories, enterprises, and public facilities in East China, and this kind of people is about 1,000; and the other is self-employed, with the least number of such people, only more than 300 people.

Of course, it is impossible to manage a country well by relying on these people alone, even if it is only Shandong Province, so whether it is in the first organization, or in factories and enterprises, a large number of naturalized people are needed as grassroots managers.

Of course, if you are just a worker and really don't understand the knowledge of natural science, you can also deal with it, as long as you are obedient, and you can learn slowly on the job. But the management personnel are different, not only need cultural and natural science knowledge, Guan Jian is to be consistent with East China in terms of ideology, not only to agree with the rule of East China, but also to agree with the policy and concept of governance in East China, this article is almost all the officials and scholars of the Qing court in this era.

Now the appointment of East China as a grass-roots management personnel of the naturalized people is roughly divided into 3 categories, the first type is the East China ** own training, and the training is divided into two kinds, one is the school training, received the study of the system, culture, natural science knowledge is higher, in East China ** has not yet been established, on the opening of the hope school, at that time was mainly to recruit orphans, and later after the East China ** stabilized, changed to recruit naturalized people, as well as a small number of children of the gentry who took refuge in East China, now the hope school has been East China ** It has cultivated about 4,000 graduates, all of whom are working in ** institutions or factories and enterprises, and can provide about 1,000 graduates for East China every year;

Generally speaking, the advantage of this type of people is that they are politically reliable, have a high degree of loyalty to East China, and highly agree with the policies and governing concepts of East China, and whether it is a school, a factory or a army, they have developed a good habit of respecting discipline, acting seriously and being rigorous. However, the disadvantage is that the graduates are too young, basically under the age of 20, although the knowledge of culture and natural sciences is high, but they lack social practice experience, and they need to be honed for a period of time in the work before they can take on great responsibilities. The low cultural quality of veterans and workers is a hard injury, although they can still cope with it in grassroots work, but at a higher level, they are not enough.

In addition, since the founding of the People's Army, there has not been a large-scale number of retired personnel, and veterans are actually soldiers who have been wounded on the battlefield, disabled, and unable to continue serving in the army.
