However, some people have raised another objection: Since the East China Government only sent a small number of traversers and local personnel to take charge of the opening up of the new base areas, and in the early stage it mainly relied on the surrendered rebel personnel, so the East China Government's ability to control the new base areas is extremely limited, and this can easily cause the power of the traversers in the new base areas to be hollowed out by the natives as surrendered rebel army personnel, or after the establishment of the new base areas, they will completely break away from the leadership of the East China Government and become independent.

In fact, Xia Bohai put forward this plan, which was also carefully considered, and he had already thought about the response to various doubts, and the new base area might get out of control, which had already been thought of by Xia Bohai, so Xia Bohai also admitted frankly that this situation was definitely possible, but there was no need to be afraid, because as long as the East China government operated properly, it was completely possible to avoid this situation.

In the old time and space, the ancestors of the traverser were also divided into multiple independent base areas in this way, but there was no situation where the base was sitting on a large independence, since the ancestors of the traverser could do it, then the traverser can also do it now. And compared with the ancestors in the old time and space, the advantage of the traverser is much greater now, first of all, the traverser itself has a strong East China government, and the weapons in the base area are provided by the East China government, which is an advantage that the ancestors of the traverser cannot compare. The first rebel army to surrender was only a few hundred, so they were only relied on in the early days of the establishment of the new base areas, and when the new base areas were initially stabilized, new soldiers would be recruited and the size of the army would be expanded.

Then Xia Bohai proposed that as long as the following two points are done well, it will basically be possible to avoid the base area becoming independent from the East China government, first of all, the traversers who are responsible for leading the base area must do a good job themselves, without selfishness, and play a leading role in the base area, so that they can also influence, Second, in the process of establishing the base areas, it is necessary to strengthen the ideological and political education of the personnel in the base areas, and constantly emphasize the leadership position of the East China Government over the base areas; at the same time, it is also necessary to improve the system building in the base areas, form checks and balances of power, and avoid the emergence of individual centralization of power or even dictatorship, so that there is no need to worry about the independence of the base areas.

Of course, if it is the traverser's own improper administration, governance, and operation in the base area that leads to the loss of control of the base area, then the traverser himself can only be blamed, but it cannot be said that the plan itself is wrong, and it is still less a reason to oppose the implementation of the plan.

It should be said that this opinion is representative to a certain extent, and there are indeed many people who are worried about this, but after listening to Xia Bohai's explanation, they are basically relieved, although there are still a few people who are still worried, but it can't affect the overall situation.

At this time, another question was raised, that is, who to send to open up a new base area. Now the lowest crossing soldier is also a deputy battalion-level officer, and other ordinary crossing people can also be regarded as cadres at or above the section level, no matter how bad they are, they can manage more than a dozen people, although compared with other crossing predecessors, it is not enough scenery, but compared with before the crossing, it can also be regarded as a small career.

Moreover, the government of East China is now in its infancy, with big cities such as Qingdao, Tianjin, and Jinan, and the living conditions are very different from when they first came ashore. At present, Qingdao's administrative dormitory area lives in brick houses, with electricity, water, independent toilets, and even local networks. And the first batch of female waiters trained have already been put on duty, if you are thick-skinned and bolder, you can get a warm bed, although it can't be compared with before the crossing, but in this era, this is already the life of a human being.

The process of opening up a new base area is a new self-made start, not to mention whether it can succeed or not, and if it is not done well, it will lose one's life, and the process must be very difficult, and even if the opening of the base area is successful, the living conditions are definitely much worse than in Shandong, so there are no traversers willing to accept this task. What if there is no traverser willing to take the order?

To be honest, this question was indeed something that Xia Bohai did not expect, after all, it was impossible for him to be exhaustive and think of all possible questions. However, Xia Bohai's reaction was also very sensitive, and after a little thought, he immediately replied to the implementation of this plan, still maintaining the principle of consciously voluntary, and would never use an executive order to force it, of course, if there is really no one to take the order in the end, then cancel the plan.

However, Xia Bohai said that he firmly believed that there would be a traverser willing to carry out this task, because he did not think that at this time, the entire traversal group had lost its enterprising spirit, and was just satisfied with the current status quo of small wealth and peace. Of course, opening up a new base is indeed a difficult task, and it is also very dangerous, so there will be a higher reward for the traverser who performs this task, ensuring that their benefits are proportional to the risks taken, and at the same time, this can also set a benchmark for future traversers, the greater the risk of the mission, then the greater the benefits.

Of course, what kind of reward will the club have, and further negotiation will be required, after all, the reward can not be too outrageous, in addition, it will take time to recruit, examine, train, and formulate a detailed plan, so the Jinan side can first reorganize and train the surrendered rebel army, and avoid the matter of the base area, don't tell them for the time being, just know it. In addition, it is also necessary to start ideological and political education for the rebel army, and then arrange for Xia Siyan to come to Qingdao as soon as possible. Of course, in this way, Li Zhuangyong's crime of defection will be mitigated, and he will be allowed to make meritorious service and atone for his crimes.

After receiving the order from the Central Military Commission, the Jinan garrison also immediately took action. The division headquarters entrusted the task of reorganizing and training the rebel army to the first regiment, because the first regiment was still being repaired.

After Luo Yue received the order from the division headquarters, he first reorganized the personnel of the rebel army, and in the past few days, there were members of the rebel army who fled into Shandong Province in a scattered manner, plus more than 200 people before, a total of nearly 700 people, of which 66 were seriously injured and could not participate in training for the time being, and among the remaining personnel, more than 80 people did not want to be soldiers anymore, and the people's army also respected their decision and handed them over to the Jinan government to arrange their life and work.

Of the remaining about 550 people, more than 60 were no longer suitable to serve as soldiers, or at least not to fight in the army, because of their age and physical condition, so they were transferred to logistics personnel, and the remaining less than 500 people were organized into three companies, and instructors were sent by the People's Army to begin formal training.

First of all, of course, the basic training of queues and formations. Although these recruits are all people who have experienced the battlefield, except for the soldiers under Li Zhuangyong, no one else has experienced the training of queues and formations. In the past, when I saw Li Zhuangyong training his troops in this way, many people ridiculed them for being useless in practicing this kind of walking, but later some rebels and Li Zhuangyong's troops had a fair contest, and all of them were defeated.

Luo Yue was also very satisfied with the attitude of the recruits, and they were all people who had been on the battlefield, and they were much faster to get started than the real recruits, so after three days of queue training, they added training in combat actions such as assassination and fighting. At the same time, political and cultural education began for the recruits.

More than 20 days passed quickly, Xia Si had already said goodbye to Jing Tingbin, Zhao Sanduo, Li Zhuangyong and others and went to Qingdao, and the wounded soldiers also returned to the team one after another, and during this period, a group of rebel army members fled to Shandong, so a company was formed, a total of 4 companies, a total of about 600 people.

The vast majority of the recruits are very satisfied with this kind of life, although the training is hard, but they do not have to worry about food and lodging, and although the instructors are strict in training, they are very kind in peacetime, and the food and accommodation are the same as everyone else, there is nothing special, and more importantly, the political lessons given to them by the People's Army have opened their eyes a lot, and they know what they want to pursue and what they are fighting for, instead of living in a muddy manner like before, even if they rebel and fight for a while.

Only Li Zhuangyong felt a little strange, because he had been in the People's Army for more than half a year, and he knew that there were at least two things that were different from what he had known before, one was that there was no official military uniform issued to the People's Army, and the other was that he was not equipped with a gun.

Li Zhuangyong remembers very clearly that as long as he joins the People's Army, even if he is only a reserve soldier, he will be issued a set of military uniforms first, because the People's Army has very strict requirements for military appearance, and a uniform military uniform is one of the basic conditions for the military appearance to be upright; moreover, after a few days of training, the soldiers will be equipped with rifles and trained in shooting. But now there are none, but to say that the KPA does not intend to retain them, this is not accurate, first of all, except for shooting, other training programs are all experienced by Li Zhuangyong before, and it is to conduct political education for recruits, which is also a unique feature of the KPA, which also shows that the KPA is indeed training them as a reserve army of the KPA.

It's not good Li Zhuangyong Although it was strange, he didn't ask in detail, because Li Zhuangyong knew that he had a history of defection, and the People's Army was very tolerant of letting himself be guilty of making meritorious contributions, but he also had to be more restrained, so after returning to the People's Army this time, Li Zhuangyong didn't even look for Jiang Haidong and other old acquaintances.

Fortunately, this doubt was not long solved, Luo Yue recruited Jing Tingbin, Zhao Sanduo, Li Zhuangyong and several other leaders of the original rebel army, and told them to form a separate army, and the official officers were about to be in place, and the task of the general was to return to Henan and Shanxi to establish a new base area.
