After three days of discussions, the East China Military Department gave a final response plan on the Xinjiang issue.

The East China Army will send a reinforced division of 17,000 men to Xinjiang Province within a month, plus the 3,000 men already sent to Xinjiang Province, adding up to 20,000 men.

At the same time, the East China Military Department will also provide 200,000 guns of various types to the Han people in Xinjiang Province for self-protection, and set up the Xinjiang Provincial Military Region, which will regularly conduct military training for the Han people in Xinjiang Province.

At the same time, the Ministry of Construction should build a railway line to Xinjiang Province within a year to ensure absolute smooth and fast transportation.

After the railway is completed, it will enable the East China political axe to develop the minerals of Xinjiang Province and develop agriculture in Xinjiang Province.

Xinjiang Province is a very suitable place to grow cotton, which is very suitable for cotton growing, and the cotton produced is not only of high quality, but also has a high yield.

The establishment of the Xinjiang Provincial Military Region was also a prelude to Xia Jun's solution to the problems of Tibet Province and Mongolia, and could be used as a bridgehead to attack Tsarist Russia or the Soviet Union.

So this railway is of great importance, not only economically, but also militarily.

At this time, the railway from Shanxi to the west had already been repaired to Gansu, and although it was a bit of a challenge to repair it to Xinjiang Province within a year, it was not an impossible task.

At the beginning of May, Xia Jun carried out the military arrangements in various localities and preliminarily completed the layout of several military plans.

Bai Wensheng called Xia Jun on this day and reported an important piece of information to him.

"What the principal expected was true, Cai Ye announced that he was seriously ill at this time, but in fact he was not ill, but was on his way to East China, according to the intelligence officers, it is estimated that he will come to East China in three days." Bai Wensheng reported that the Military Intelligence Bureau's investigation of Cai Ye originated two months ago, since Yuan Shikai's intention to become emperor, Xia Jun was very concerned about Cai Yi, who originally opposed Yuan Shikai's claim to be emperor in history, so when he heard that Cai Ye was seriously ill, he immediately asked the Military Intelligence Bureau to spy on intelligence.

It took two months for the Military Intelligence Bureau to investigate and find out the truth, and Cai Ye did a very meticulous job this time.

"Hmmm! You have people continue to pay attention to Cai Yi's movements, and it is better to send a few people to protect his safety. Xia Jun instructed Bai Wensheng.

"Yes."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Jun began to think about the follow-up movements, obviously China has entered a road of whether to restore the imperial system, and his attitude is slightly ambiguous.

The opposition is certain, after all, Yuan Shikai has a lot of opinions when he is the emperor.

But he is not opposing the imperial system, if he opposes the imperial system, then he will block his way, but for Xia Jun, it is nothing if he is not the emperor.

This thing cannot be forced.

After figuring out the key, Xia Jun's attitude is obvious, that is, he supports the reversal of Yuan, but does not show his attitude towards the imperial system.

Cai Ye is the key to the reversal of Yuan.

…… On 11 May, Cai Ye took a train from Yanjing to the south for treatment, and Yuan Shikai did not doubt this, because at this time, the medical treatment of the East China Autonomous Political Axe had already ranked among the world's first, and many diseases that could not be treated by other countries could be treated in East China. It would be too abnormal if Cai Ye also went to Yueben for treatment.

At this time, the hatred of China was high in China, and most of the overseas Chinese were evacuated from the country, and the medical level of the country had been surpassed by the medical level in East China.

On May 12, Cai arrived in Hangzhou.

In Hangzhou, Cai Ye saw a different Zhejiang, which has undergone earth-shaking changes from the Zhejiang he saw at the beginning.

There are construction sites everywhere, there are factories everywhere, the spirit of the people seen on the street is very good, and there is basically no one wearing homespun cloth in terms of dressing, and the clothes worn are mostly made of dyed and printed fabrics, and many people wear clothes that are produced from garment factories, and the styles are very trendy.

It is often said that East China is extremely prosperous under the rule of the autonomous political axe, and this time it was indeed the case.

Since the Xinhai Revolution, it is indeed surprising that in just four years, the provinces under the rule of the East China political axe have undergone such tremendous changes.

Cai Ye came to Hangzhou this time, not to treat his illness, but to transfer to East China to Yunnan, where he had his roots and could raise troops against Yuan.

The reason why he stopped in Hangzhou instead of taking the train directly to Guangdong was mainly to investigate the situation in East China and make a correct judgment on the situation in Yuan.

If Yuan Shikai is the emperor, then the easiest thing to fall to Yuan is undoubtedly the East China political axe, but the East China political axe fell into the Shandong battlefield, and Cai Ye did not have much hope.

And Cai Yi doesn't know what Xia Jun's attitude is, judging from Xia Jun's public remarks, his attitude towards Yuan Shikai's claim to be emperor is ambiguous.

Therefore, Cai Ye must figure out which side the East China Autonomous Political Axe will support, and at the same time, he must also find out whether the East China Autonomous Political Axe has the ability to intervene.

At the same time, he stayed in Hangzhou to paralyze Yuan Shikai.

After Cai arrived in Hangzhou, he began to conduct investigations in Zhejiang, and wrote back to Yanjing from time to time to prove that he had traveled in Zhejiang.

In Zhejiang, Cai Ye inspected many places.

Ports, factories, farms, and militia training, even as far as the training camp of the East China Army.

The strange thing is that there is no obstacle everywhere he goes, you must know that the East China political axe is the most strict defense agent, if other people are like him running around looking and questioning, or even running to the training camp, they would have been arrested and interrogated.

In the port, Cai Ye saw a busy scene, with a whole shipload of minerals and oil being transported back from abroad, and a whole shipload of arms and other war materials, as well as various commodities, constantly being transported out.

At the factory, Cai Ye saw a busy scene day and night, and the factory owner revealed to him that the current production profits were very high, and the workers generally believed that their incomes were much higher.

On the farm, Cai Ye could not see the traditional intensive farming method, but replaced it with mechanical extensive planting, and only a few employees of the agricultural reclamation company could be responsible for nearly 10,000 acres of land cultivation.

At the local level, Cai Ye also saw that the armed forces were training the militia during the slack time, and the county towns were also organizing military training for young people engaged in industry and commerce.

I heard that in the past, the militia training of the East China Autonomous Government was mainly concentrated in the rural areas, but now the population has begun to shift to the cities, so the militia training has begun to shift to the cities, and those young people will take one day a week to participate in the training, and those young people are very enthusiastic about participating in military training.

Moreover, Cai also found that the weapons used by those militias were all new firearms, and this kind of militia training was spread to seven provinces.

This also shows that the East China Autonomous Political Axe is fully capable of intervening in the action of overthrowing Yuan, and the East China Autonomous Political Axe does not need to send a regular army, and these militias alone are enough to defeat the Yuan army. Moreover, once the axe of the East China Autonomous Government really reaches a critical moment, it can even mobilize millions of militia to go to the battlefield.

When visiting the camp of the regular army, the equipment and treatment of those regular troops were completely beyond Cai Yi's imagination, even if it was an ordinary East China army, it already had dynamic equipment, and there were many automated individual equipment, and it was equipped with new weapons such as mortars.

And in terms of treatment, it is also very good, the military salary is very sufficient, and the food treatment of the soldiers is extremely high, and it is completely taking the route of elite soldiers.

In contrast, while the East China Autonomous Political Axe gives such a high treatment to soldiers, it is also absolutely 'hellish' in training, which may be the most severe place Cai Ye has ever seen in the training of soldiers.

However, while the East China Autonomous Government Axe invested such financial resources to build the army, the people under the rule of the East China Autonomous Government Axe were doing very well.

No matter which city it is, there are Huadong restaurants, Huadong Restaurant is a high-end restaurant, but it is also a civilian restaurant, and it is implementing the 'zero hunger policy' of the East China Autonomous Political Axe, anyone who gets a work permit of the East China Autonomous Political Axe, or an ID card owned by every citizen, can have a full meal in the Chinese Restaurant for only five cents.

This zero-hunger policy is an evolution of the previous East China Grain Bank's charity, and those with work and ID cards can pay on credit, and the meals are of good quality and nutrition.

At the same time, the East China Autonomous Political Axe also has a 'zero cold policy', and you can spend a little money to get clothes that do not be invaded by the cold in winter, but the style is single, and it is not too good-looking, but it focuses on practicality.

In terms of housing, there are also low-rent houses and affordable housing, all of which are relatively comfortable and bright suites.

This means that the East China Autonomous Axe has extremely strong war potential, and in the event of an emergency, the forces that can be mobilized by the East China Autonomous Axe will be very, very large.

In terms of financial resources, the East China Autonomous Political Axe has not touched any of its fiscal revenue this year, and there is no shortage of manpower, and it has the world's best equipment in terms of weapons and equipment, and it is able to produce it independently.

Shandong has gathered more than 500,000 East China troops at this time, and it is obvious that it has not yet made the East China Autonomous Political Axe exert all its strength, which is not the same as Cai Yi originally expected, he originally thought that the East China Autonomous Political Axe would tighten his belt and prepare for war for the whole people, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Whether the Shandong battlefield can be won or not, he doesn't know, if the East China Autonomous Political Axe does its best to fight that battle, it will definitely be able to win, but this is not the case now.

On 16 October, when Cai Yi was reading the newspaper, he saw a piece of news that the East China Autonomous Government had recently decided to send a reinforced division to Xinjiang Province and at the same time provide 200,000 guns of various types to the Han people in Xinjiang Province for self-protection.

This shows even more that East China's autonomous political axe still has spare strength, and it is full of spare strength.

At the same time, the recent newspaper has talked about the completion of the Huadong Building, and today the chairman of the committee is sending out invitations to invite well-known people from all walks of life to attend the topping out ceremony.

Shortly after Cai Yi put down the newspaper and walked out of the hotel, an officer wearing a Baath SS uniform walked up to him and asked Cai Jie, who was wearing a hat and sunglasses to avoid domestic reporters, "But Mr. Songpa?" ”

Discovered?

Cai Yi nodded calmly, and the officer took out an envelope and an invitation from his pocket, handed it to him, and said, "This is what the chairman asked me to hand over to you." ”

When I opened the invitation, it turned out to be an invitation for the topping out ceremony of the East China Building.
