Chapter 483: Li Tao's Vision

Looking at the two partners singing double reeds in front of him, Lin Xiao couldn't help but be a little funny, but at the same time, his heart was also full of emotion and sighing.

For Hangzhou, a big city with a population of hundreds of thousands, taking away 8,000 mouths to eat is like a drop in the bucket, but even so, these two guys are still overjoyed and happy to eat dumplings during the New Year, which shows the great pressure in their hearts.

Lin Xiao knew that he didn't look at them and looked happy, in fact, the situation they were facing must be very difficult, but they were desperately trying to carry it, and they didn't want him to embarrass Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao thought to himself, since he traveled to this dark age when the people were struggling to make a living and the road ahead was treacherous, if there was no such like-minded and heart-to-heart old guys, he would only rely on himself, let alone do some earth-shattering things, whether he could survive smoothly was probably a problem.

Needless to say, Xia Bomin and other old comrades-in-arms are all brothers who have experienced the test of life and death at the beginning, but Li Tao, an old intelligence officer, is not only more than ten years older than himself, but also far stronger than himself in terms of rank and qualifications in later generations.

However, he insisted on not showing his face, willing to be a behind-the-scenes helper, and silently did his best to stabilize the rear......

To be honest, as a professional officer from the grassroots level in later generations, Lin Xiao's strategic vision, as well as planning and organization skills, and ability to control the situation, have far surpassed ordinary people.

In a short period of one year, with the assistance of his comrades-in-arms, he has, through a series of effective measures, dramatically expanded a contingent of only a few hundred people to a quasi-modern army with tens of thousands of people with a fine work style and powerful strength.

It is precisely because of Lin Xiao's resolute decision that they not only solved the problem of feeding the troops in this devastated and starving land, but even had spare strength to relieve the victims.

However, in Lin Xiao's mind, compared with Li Tao, he sighed to himself in many ways.

In the face of the sudden opportunity to control the political and social trend of the entire country, among the many traversers, except for leading troops to fight, in terms of comprehensive ability in all aspects, no one is indeed comparable to Li Tao.

This high-level intelligence officer, who was engaged in secret work in later generations, had been mixed with Eastern and Western countries for a long time, dealt with the three religions and nine streams in different guises, and had dealt with all kinds of great gods, can be called an all-round talent who can write and martial arts.

Since Guangdong took over land reform and logistics work, Li Tao's talent in government affairs has been fully displayed.

Not to mention anything else, in just a few months, he has figured out a set of the most complex and effective military logistics system in the land of China at present.

This is a tailor-made "social software" to cooperate with Lin Xiao and prepare for a decisive battle with the Qing army and many Western colonizers, all hostile forces at home and abroad, and to explore the short-term limits of China's agricultural social mobilization.

Through months of experience in land reform and mobilization, as well as prospects for the future, Li Tao and others have come to the following two conclusions:

1. Driven by the great goal of "driving out the Tartars and restoring China," only the grassroots organizations established with the help of land reform can mobilize huge manpower and material resources in a short period of time.

Second, the short-term mobilization costs of agrarian-based societies are huge and unsustainable, and they are not worth mentioning in the face of real industrial power, so the goal of the next stage must be to focus on full industrialization.

In Li Tao's view, China can only cope with the great changes in the whole world by overtaking in corners and taking the lead on the road of industrialization.

Before that, we must first transform the countryside and ensure a stable supply of food in order to get enough power for change.

Li Tao once read "The Art of War" by heart, and there is a sentence in it that talks about the relationship between military logistics and national development -- "If you take it for the country, because the food is for the enemy, the military food can be sufficient." ”

Regarding "taking it for the country", Cao Cao has a note: "Armor and combat equipment are used in the country." Mei Yaochen, a Song man, also said: "The army must be used in the country." ”

In fact, another meaning of this passage is to emphasize that the "state" must have sufficient "use" in order to ensure the supply of military supplies.

This point is more obvious in the modern world, and it is precisely the problem of the times that modern China must face.

With the advent of the industrial revolution and the continuous progress of combat equipment, whether or not there is an advanced and complete industrial system is of great importance to a country's victory or defeat in a war.

Unfortunately, China, an ancient civilized country, is already lagging behind the Western countries in terms of industry and commerce, so even if it mobilizes the spirit of striving for prosperity, it must first strengthen its own strength before it can be equipped to compete with the more advanced countries.

Li Tao held that in the face of the threat of war, in order to ensure the country's sovereignty and territorial security, it is necessary to concentrate on developing industry, so that domestic industrial output can continue to increase, and only in the event of war can the various basic needs of the military sector be fully provided.

Li Tao knows very well that his historical mission is to go all out, gather the strength of the whole country, protect those industries that play a key role in the industrial structure or national security, rapidly increase the overall national strength, and serve a series of future expansion behaviors planned by Lin Xiao.

In Li Tao's vision, the next campaign in the Central Plains, as well as a series of counteroffensive operations in North China, will be a general review of this reform system, which will not only be a test of the mobilization of rural forces, but also the beginning of the accumulation of resources for industrialization.

The foundation stone of the new Chinese empire will be completed......

It is worth mentioning that in his busy schedule, Lin Xiao's side did not stop at the rectification and reorganization of the troops.

Lin Xiao had made up his mind, and in addition to the troops directly under the headquarters, Liu Xulei's Second Regiment, Zhu Yujia's Third Regiment, and Xia Bomin's Fourth Regiment immediately began to reorganize and expand into division-level field troops on the basis of using the old to lead the new.

The order was about to be issued, and Lin Xiao demanded that within three months, all divisions must complete their reorganization, with each division having a maximum of 12,000 people, and that all surplus soldiers be incorporated into the provincial-level military districts in various places.

In addition, Lin Xiao planned to use Yu Cheng's Qinzhou garrison as an independent regiment; with Feng Suqin's department as the independent second regiment; With Chu Fang's headquarters as the independent third regiment, it was temporarily stationed at the current station, and according to the development of the war, it was ready to be upgraded to the main force at any time.

As for the main force of Xiao Kaifeng's second regiment, Lin Xiao planned to merge into Ding Shuai's first regiment after the end of the Annan Campaign, and reorganize it into the first division, with Ding Shuai as the division commander, specializing in land defense in the direction of the Indochina Peninsula and the South China Sea.

For Xiao Kaifeng, the only officer under his command who was born as a cadet, and Xu Tianshi, a genuine sniper, Lin Xiao is ready to recall to China.

Lin Xiao also thought about their tasks, temporarily let them serve as instructors in the martial arts hall, and at the same time began to set up a staff department...... Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
