Chapter 1491: A New Beginning

On 8 January, after the French army in Rongshi was blockaded by the naval forces of the Anjia Army in its port and encountered naval artillery attacks, and the troops were heavily surrounded by the troops of the Anjia Army Gu Changfeng who was heading south, Lieutenant General Cruz, commander of the French Annam Colony Army in Tokyo, and Major General Henry, commander of the French Second Division in Annam, decisively chose to lay down their arms and surrender, and 12,000 French troops and 60,000 Annam troops became prisoners.

On 11 January, the main fleet of the An Jia Army raided Da Nang, sank one gunboat, two destroyers, and captured one old cruiser and one destroyer, and then the fleet covered the French garrison in Da Nang for five minutes, and the French army, which was caught off guard, suffered heavy losses, and under the blow of the vanguard of Gu Changfeng's front army, which was rapidly moving south, a total of 50,000 French troops and the Annam Army surrendered to the An Jia Army under the leadership of Lieutenant General Demville, commander of the Cochinchina Army, and Major General René, commander of the French First Division in Annam.

On the first day of the surrender of the French army in Da Nang to An Jia Army, the leaders of the Kuomintang Party branches and the "Chinese General Chamber of Commerce", "Chinese Association Association", "Chinese Assembly Hall" and other Chinese organizations from all over Nanyang gathered at the former Tokyo Governor's Palace on the east bank of Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi to formally hold a preparatory meeting for the formation of the new party.

From now on, the branches of the Kuomintang and the Chinese community in Nanyang will join the newly formed South China National Democratic Party (hereinafter referred to as the South China Kuomintang), with the guiding ideology of "nation", "people's livelihood" and "civil rights" advocated by Mr. Zhongshan. The general outline stipulates that the South China Kuomintang is a political party representing the interests of all Chinese and ethnic Chinese, and is the core of the cause of national liberation of the Chinese people in the world, and the party's highest ideal is to build an ideal country with the Chinese nation as the main body in all Chinese areas. It is necessary to uphold the party's control over the armed forces, strengthen army building, and earnestly ensure that the armed forces fulfill the sacred mission of the liberation of the Chinese nation.

Chapter 1 of the Party Constitution stipulates that Party members are not limited in age, and may apply to join as long as their ideological consciousness meets the requirements, is willing to recognize the Party's program and constitution, is willing to join and actively work and study in one of the Party's organizations, implements the Party's resolutions, and pays Party dues on time. Party members are the vanguard fighters who are committed to the cause of the liberation and rise of the Chinese nation, and Party members must have the ideology and consciousness of serving the people wholeheartedly, not hesitating to sacrifice everything personally, and fighting for the cause of the liberation of the Chinese people all over the world.

New party members to join the party, must fill out the application form, after strict assessment, after the party organization carefully understands its thoughts, quality, experience and daily performance, by two formal party members as introducers, through the branch meeting and the approval of the higher party organization, after the preparatory period of inspection, solemn oath under the party flag, can become a formal party member. Under special circumstances, the Party Central Committee and provincial, municipal, and military divisional Party committees may directly accept Party members into the Party. The oath I took was as follows: I voluntarily join the South China National Democratic Party, support the party's program, abide by the party's constitution, fulfill the obligations of party members, implement the party's decisions, strictly abide by the party's discipline, keep the party's secrets, be loyal to the party, work actively, fight for the cause of the liberation of all the Chinese people all my life, be ready to sacrifice everything for the interests of the party and all the Chinese, and never betray the party.

The organizational system of the Party is that the individual is subordinate to the organization, the minority is subordinate to the majority, the lower levels are subordinate to the superiors, the branches and all Party members are subordinate to the National Party Congress and the Central Committee, and the leading organs of the Party at all levels, except for the representative organs dispatched, are elected.

In addition, the meeting also made regulations on the central organization, local organizations, grassroots organizations, military organizations, party cadres, party discipline, discipline inspection organs, and party groups, and designed a party song and a party flag.

The party song is based on the "Chinese Boy" that circulated in the north and south of the river in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. Sleeping lion for a thousand years, sleeping lion for a thousand years, one husband raises his arms and ten thousand husbands. The Yangtze River, the east of Asia, E'e Kunlun, the Great Wall of Yiyi, the country of abundance, take more macro, the Yellow Emperor's gods. Wind and tigers, clouds and dragons, all countries come together, and the pride of the sky is my ...... I have a treasure knife, generosity from Rong, striking the middle stream, strong winds, decisive victory, Changhong, how many strange husbands in ancient and modern times. Broken yellow dust, Yan Ran stranded his work, and his blood is still red.

The party flag has a red background color, a golden five-pointed star in the upper left corner, and two crossed black rifles at the bottom of the five-pointed star, and a black Great Wall pattern above the rifles, indicating that the Chinese nation must use force to regain what the Chinese nation has lost for a long time.

Beginning on 15 January, the Preparatory Committee of the South China Kuomintang held talks with Gong Qian, Lao Shoudao, Zhou Chongan, Zhan Dao, Huang Yingwu, Du Yi, Deng Bin, and other representatives of the party, government, and military of An Jiajun. After three consecutive days of consultations, An Jiajun, who had basically mastered the power of Annan, had a bumper harvest, and An Yi was elected chairman of the Central Committee in his absence, and Jiang Yunshan, Xu Ziliang, Ou Yaoting, Chen Jiageng and An Yi himself were elected as members of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee.

In order to respect the influence of the cause of Annam's independence and liberation on the cause of the liberation of the Chinese in Nanyang, the Annan people occupy a seat in the Standing Committee, and the election of Ou Yaoting and Chen Kah Kee, who have extensive influence in Nanyang, as members of the Standing Committee, shows that the South China Kuomintang has taken all the Chinese in Nanyang into account from the very beginning, and the military and political system of the An family army is represented by An Yi and Jiang Yunshan, but An Yi has the final decision-making power to ensure the correctness of the party's policies.

In addition to the five members of the Standing Committee, the Central Committee also included Zhuang Xiyan, Li Qingquan, Hu Wenhu, Li Zhendian, Li Guangqian, Lin Wenqing, Wu Liande, Huang Yizhu and other overseas Chinese leaders in Nanyang, as well as Zhu Peide, Zhang Hongluan, Shi Zhen, Lao Shoudao, Gong Qian, Zhou Chongan, He Jing, Yin Jinan, Hu Jialin, Yang Bin, Gu Changfeng, Cheng Chengguang, Xia Jian, Qi Shengqing, Dong Zechuan, Ma Junwu, and other military and political leaders of An Jiajun and his allies.

The alternate members of the Central Committee are Zhou Xianrui, Chen Chunan, Liang Yugao, Jian Jinglun, Huang Zongxiao, Zhuang Yinan, Xue Fenshi, Yang Qitai and other Nanyang overseas Chinese leaders, Ye Cheng, Huang Bingyi, Yang Fei, Ding Zhicheng, Zhang Chengzhu, Lu Yixuan, Li Jinlong, Zhang Tianyi, Zhang Xiaowu, Zhang Cunzhuang, Zhan Huanqi, Lin Xudong, Ma Zhiyuan and other responsible persons in the military, political and economic fields of the An Yi Group.

With the establishment of the Central Committee, the ministers of the Central Committee were designated by An Yi, chairman of the Central Committee, Gong Qian was appointed director of the Organization Department of the Central Committee, Wu Ziliang, who served as a member of the Standing Committee, concurrently served as the director of the Central Propaganda Department, Qi Shengqing served as secretary of the Central Political and Legal Committee, Hu Xuelan served as the director of the United Front Work Department of the Central Committee, Lao Shoudao served as the director of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, Jiang Yunshan served as the director of the General Office of the Central Committee, and An Yi personally served as the president of the Central Party School. The two major organ newspapers of the South China Kuomintang are "Nanhua Daily" and "Jiefang Daily", of which "Jiefang Daily" was revised from "Sanjiang Daily", with Lu Bicheng as president, focusing on reporting on the dynamics of Chinese people around the world, and "Nanhua Daily" is newly founded, with Ye Qing as president and Feng Jieyun as vice president, mainly to reflect the information of various parts of Annan and serve political decision-making.

Since the party constitution has determined the party's absolute leadership over the armed forces, a military committee has been set up under the Central Committee, with An Yi serving as chairman of the Military Commission, and five generals Hu Jialin, Yin Jinan, Yang Bin, Gu Changfeng, and Cheng Chengguang serving as vice chairmen; Deng Bin serving as secretary general of the Central Military Commission and president of the National Defense University; Zhao Dongquan serving as director of the General Office of the Central Military Commission; and seven generals Huang Bingyi, Yang Fei, Zhao Rui, Ye Cheng, Ding Zhicheng, Xia Jian, and Li Jinlong as members of the Central Military Commission.

After the resolution was formally adopted on 18 July, large-scale oath-taking activities were organized for the three general departments to the front armies, group armies, divisions, independent brigades, regiments, battalions, companies, platoons, and squads.

At the same time, the development of party members in the governments and factories and enterprises at all levels in southern Sichuan, southern Yunnan, western Hunan, and western Guizhou has also been very smooth; almost all government functionaries and the majority of workers have chosen to join the party, and nearly one-third of the peasants in the rural areas in these areas have joined the party, and the number of party members of the South China Kuomintang has suddenly exceeded 30 million.

In addition, because the South China Kuomintang is in the same line as the League and the Chinese Kuomintang, has a pure revolutionary tradition and fine blood, plus many overseas Chinese leaders with great influence in the Nanyang region hold positions in the South China Kuomintang, and An Yi, who is almost an idol of the Chinese, holds the post of party chairman, the development of party members in the Nanyang area is also very smooth, and by the end of the 38th year, almost all Nanyang cities have established party branches, and party members have carried out extensive nationalist ideological propaganda among overseas Chinese. It gradually gained the recognition of the majority of Chinese in the Nanyang area.

On January 20, the king of the provisional government of Annam, Bao Da, issued a telegram in Hue, in order to ensure that all the people of Annam can live a truly democratic and free life, and completely bid farewell to colonization and domination, he himself decided to transfer state power to the People's Liberation Army, and the Supreme Commander of the People's Liberation Army, An Yi, will form a government to safeguard the interests of all ethnic groups and bring Annam on the road of independence, prosperity and strength.

Emperor Bao's electrification seemed to be a natural thing, and it did not make any waves among the people of Annam.

After more than 80 years of French colonial rule, and more than a dozen large-scale genocides, the edges and corners of the Annamite people have long been smoothed out, unless they suffer a major ideological impact, it is difficult to recover the blood in their bones, coupled with the great purge of all parties and the deliberate actions of the liberated areas with chicken feathers as arrows, the political parties and individuals who are committed to the Jing independence movement have been almost slaughtered. The People's Liberation Army (PLA) military administration of the government has made all kinds of good promises for the future life, and has begun to build a large number of factories, enterprises and trading houses, and many people are eagerly awaiting further measures after the establishment of the new government, so they generally welcome the power of Emperor Bao.

On January 21, after Emperor Bao sent three invitations to open the power, An Yi finally did not refuse, and set off from Syria to Hanoi to form a new government.

On 22 January, in the name of the chairman of the Central Committee of the South China Kuomintang, An Yi issued a call to all political parties, social organizations, and social elites in Annam to gather in Hanoi to convene a political consultative conference to discuss and realize the convening of the people's congress and the establishment of a national government.

This call has been warmly responded to by all sectors of society in Annan. Chairman of the Kuomintang of Vietnam Vo Hong Thanh and members Yan Ji Gu, leader of the Constitutional Party Ngo Dinh Diem, chairman of the Independence League Hu Xuelan and members Nguyen Hai Son and Le Quoc Zhu, chairman of the Liberation League Truong Pei Gong, King Nguyen Phuc Vinh Shwe of Annam, King of Laos Sisavang. Feng and Pechara and Su were angry. The three princes of Phuong and Fuma, King Sisova of Cambodia. Moniwang and others took planes, cars, ships, trains and other means of transportation provided by An Jiajun to Hanoi.

With the collapse of Laos in the western region of Annam and the colonial rule of Cambodia, the two mountain divisions of the Yunnan Military Region of the Anjia Army and the Gu Changfeng and Xia Jian Front armies carried out a dragnet sweep from north to south, from west to east and from east to west.

At 9 a.m. on 26 January, the first plenary session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) opened in the conference hall of the former Tokyo Governor's Palace, now renamed the National Palace, on the shores of Hoan Kiem Lake.

In addition to some members of the Central Committee of the South China Kuomintang, there were 428 delegates attending the meeting, and these deputies came from 45 units in five quarters, including party representatives, regional representatives, military representatives, group representatives, and specially invited personages, of whom various party and regional representatives accounted for a relatively large proportion.

After careful discussions, the meeting unanimously adopted the "Outline of the Covenant" as the Constitution, announcing that from now on, the title of Annan will become a thing of the past, and the name of the country will be replaced by a more vivid, concrete, and affectionate Nanhua, and the South China Democratic Republic will be established. The South China Democratic Republic will consist of six provinces: Red River Province (formerly northwestern Annam and the Red River Plain), Lan Giang Province (the plain area between the long and narrow central part of Laos and Vinh City and Hue), West Won Province (Da Nang to Nha Trang and Ha Lao, eastern Cambodia), Wu Giang Province (Annam Cochinchina Plain area), Cai Wan Province (formerly Lao Shangliao area), Tien Nam Province (most of Cambodia) and eight municipalities directly under the central government, Tan Kyong (Hanoi), Hai Phong, Hue, Da Nang, Cam Ranh, Saigon, Phnom Penh and Vientiane.

The congress elected An Ngai as the president of the country, Nguyen Phuc Vinh Swe, Sisavang. Feng, Sisowa. The three former kings of Moniwang are the vice presidents, Jiang Yunshan, Lao Shoudao, Hu Jialin, Gu Changfeng, Cheng Chengguang, Xia Jian, Zhou Chongan, He Jing, Qi Shengqing, Dong Zechuan, Ma Junwu, Ou Chuer, Ye Cheng, Huang Bingyi, Yang Fei, Ding Zhicheng, Li Jinlong, Zhang Tianyi, Zhang Xiaowu, Du Yi, Xu Ziliang, Wu Tingyan, Hu Xuelan, Ruan Haichen, Li Guozhu, Wu Hongqing, Yan Jigu, Zhang Peigong, Pechala, and Su Fanu. Thirty-six people, including Feng and Fuma, served as members of the central government, the national flag was the five-clawed golden dragon red flag, and the national anthem was "My Motherland." The meeting also decided to change the name of Hanoi to Xinjing and officially become the capital of the Republic of South China, which adopted the A.D. era.

January 30 coincides with the Chinese New Year's Eve of the Chinese Lunar New Year. The South China Central Government Committee held its first meeting and elected Jiang Yunshan as secretary general, Xu Ziliang as premier of the Government Council, An Yi as commander-in-chief and chief of general staff of the South China People's Liberation Army, Qi Shengqing as president of the Supreme Court, and Zhang Xiaowu as chief prosecutor of the Supreme Procuratorate.

On January 31, the first day of the Lunar New Year, the meeting continued.

The meeting appointed Zhou Chong'an, Ngo Dinh Diem, Dong Zechuan, and Hu Xuelan as vice premiers of the Government Council, Nguyen Haichen as secretary general of the Government Council, Lao Shou Dao as Minister of Supervision, Ding Zhicheng as Minister of Public Security, Du Yi as Minister of State Security, Vice Premier Ngo Dinh Dim as Minister of Foreign Affairs, Vice Premier Zhou Chongan as Minister of Finance, Vice Premier Hu Xuelan as Minister of Land and Resources, Vice Premier Dong Zechuan as Minister of Industry, Hu Jialin as Minister of National Defense, Wu Hongqing as Minister of Civil Affairs, Zhang Peigong as Minister of Railways, and Li Guozhu as Minister of Agriculture. Ma Junwu served as Minister of Education, Yan Jigu served as Minister of Transportation, He Jing served as Minister of Culture, Ou Chuer served as Governor of the Central Bank, Pechara served as Minister of Religious Affairs, and Su Fa Nu. Feng served as Minister of Ethnic Affairs, Fuma served as Minister of Environmental Protection, and so on.

The meeting decided that the Republic of South China would be formally established on 1 February, and all departments of the central government would begin to formally perform their duties. Under the current complicated international situation, it was extremely unwise to stimulate the sensitive nerves of the French and the great powers, and it was decided not to hold the founding ceremony and military parade.

After the establishment of the Republic of South China, the central bank immediately began to issue the Chinese dollar that had been prepared for a long time. The Chinese dollar is based on the US dollar as the international currency settlement unit, and the tentative exchange of 10 Chinese yuan for 1 US dollar is divided into 1 cent, 2 cents, 5 cents, 1 dime, 2 jiao, 5 yuan, 1 yuan, 2 yuan, 5 yuan, and 10 yuan.

Since the Anjia army marched to Annam, the tentacles of the Southwest Bank extended to various regions of Annam as the army advanced, and at first it issued copper-nickel alloy coins minted by the Southwest Bank itself to replace the Annam coins of the French colonial government. The Republic of South China established a central bank on the basis of the Southwest Bank, and this time it launched a beautifully printed banknote printed in Han, Beijing and Khmer characters, with many breakthrough anti-counterfeiting technology patents, and the possibility of successful counterfeiting is very small.

The newly established governments at all levels in South China have issued proclamations announcing that the new currency will be exchanged for the old currency, and the Annam currency will be phased out, and the Chinese dollar will replace the Annam currency as the only legal currency of the Republic of South China after a period of time.

On 3 February, governments at all levels in South China formally implemented land reform. Since most of the land in Annam was previously controlled by the French colonial government, land reform in many places was extremely simple, granting land on an average basis of one hectare per household, which not only met the needs of the peasants, but also left a large amount of vacant land for the use of immigrants.

However, in some areas, the land was not in the hands of the French colonial government, but in the hands of large landowners, including some French plantation owners, so that the government did not have enough land to distribute, and the acute land contradictions could not be alleviated.

Since most of the large-scale plantations run by the French are coffee plantations, rubber plantations, tea plantations, etc., and the degree of industrial scale is high, which is conducive to large-scale agricultural production, if the French land is blindly divided, it will not only lose the credibility of the government, but also cause great damage to production.

Moreover, the treatment of these plantations owned by the French was likely to affect the perception of the large plantation owners in other parts of the South Seas, and a one-size-fits-all approach would greatly dampen the centripetal force of the large Chinese plantation owners towards the Kuomintang and the government in South China, in which case the South Chinese government implemented a moderate land reform.

At the beginning of the reform, the government issued a proclamation announcing the protection of large-scale plantations, and the object of land reform was only for those large landowners who owned a large amount of land, but divided the land into many families to rent and plant.

With regard to the land controlled by the landlords, the central government has given unified guidance, and "agricultural revival committees" have been set up in various localities composed of government representatives, land experts, and Syrian agricultural experts. The association was set up by the Southwest Bank to be responsible for the formulation of land policies, the organization and leadership of the land reform movement. Because the "Agricultural Reconstruction Committee" is composed of high-level agricultural economic experts in the An Jiajun system, it is both far-sighted and meticulous in formulating land policy, and because it has the right to allocate experimental funds and special funds for agricultural technology innovation and land reform and promotion, the "Agricultural Reconstruction Committee" has a strong ability and resources to promote policies and plays an extremely important role in the smooth completion of land reform in the Republic of South China.

In order to improve the operational efficiency in the land reform, increase the transparency of the policy, effectively stop the occurrence of the first phenomenon, and ensure the smooth progress of the land reform, An Yi specially instructed the establishment of the South China Agricultural Bank as the fund accounting unit and policy implementation agency of the "land reform". The government clearly stipulates that the Agricultural Bank of China is responsible for issuing land bonds in kind during the land reform, and repaying the landlords one by one at 70 percent of the price of the landlord's cultivated land, and cashing them in 20 installments over 10 years; Raise the shares of the cement, paper, agriculture and forestry, industrial and mining, machinery, electronic and other companies founded by the government, and repay the landlord for the remaining 30% of the land price; Collect cash or in-kind land prices from farmers who have landed or purchase land in 10 years and 20 installments, and comprehensively handle various loans from farmers in the course of land reform.

In the course of land reform, the Nanhua government implemented the win-win principle of "peasants get land, and landlords benefit", and adopted a peaceful and gradual method, first expropriating cultivated land beyond the landlord's reserve amount (one hectare) and giving it to the peasants, and then the government loaned it to the peasants in the form of agreement purchase, and allowing the peasants to purchase the land within the landlord's reserved quota, so as to achieve the goal of fully realizing that the cultivators have their own land.

In order to ensure policy fairness and social stability, the Nanhua government insisted that the expropriation and release of farmland from landlords should be handled by the government in the middle of the land reform, that is, the government would expropriate land from landlords and then transfer it to the current cultivators.

The South China government also attaches great importance to financing support and legal protection for yeoman farmers. Because the homesteaders who had just acquired land during the land reform were burdened by heavy land prices and their economic foundation was not yet stable, they were very likely to lose their land and become tenant farmers again. Therefore, on the one hand, the Government has enacted a law stipulating that the cultivated land shall not be transferred until the land premium has been paid, and to prevent the occurrence of malpractices such as impersonation and leasing of the cultivated land to others. On the other hand, the rural credit cooperatives set up by the government set up special loans to provide financing support to farmers in need.

If there is really no land to be allocated in an area, the government is responsible for organizing the relocation, ensuring that the new settlement is provided with adequate housing and living facilities, and that one hectare of land can be obtained free of charge, which is a staggering temptation for tenant farmers and hired farmers, so that the whole process of land reform is carried out in a harmonious atmosphere.

In the meantime, a large number of Chinese immigrants continued to enter Annam, and under the arrangement of the government, they came to the cities and rural areas respectively to engage in industrial and agricultural production, slowly changing the proportion of the population of the South China Republic.

By the end of 38, the land reform in the entire South China region had been basically completed, and 15 million aborigines of Annam and 20 million Chinese immigrants had obtained their own land.

The exemption of the peasants' rent from the landlords completely changed the land system that had existed since ancient times. The peasants have turned over, their long-hidden enthusiasm for production has been brought into play, and agricultural production has developed rapidly. With the development of agriculture, farmers began to have savings in their hands.

Another notable result of the land reform was the enhancement of the prestige of the Kuomintang and the new government in South China; under the management of the police stations and township governments, some social dregs, such as gamblers, thieves, and opium smokers, were banned, and under the guidance of advanced agricultural machinery and agricultural technical experts provided by the rural credit cooperatives, they actively participated in production and established the concept of the glory of labor.

In parallel with the agrarian reform, the new government began to make compulsory six years compulsory (four years of primary school and two years of junior high school) universal. Previously, under the control of the French colonizers, there were almost no educational facilities in Annam, except for a small number of religious and well-to-do families who could enter church schools and private schools run by the French, they could only enter private schools and schools run by the Chinese, and the vast majority of people did not have the concept of reading in their minds.

Beginning on 10 February, the new government will follow the example of southern Sichuan and other places to build primary schools at the village level, middle schools at the town level, and high schools at the county level throughout the territory of Annam. In addition, all counties and cities must build vocational and technical training schools in light of the actual conditions and provide sufficient skilled workers for the township enterprises established by the credit unions and for the large enterprises with various capital compositions. Universities are generally concentrated in provincial capitals, municipalities directly under the central government and large industrial zones, which is convenient for the formation of scale effects of education and the timely transformation of university research results into products.

In terms of medical and health care, the Republic of South China, like southern Sichuan and other places, has set up health centers at the township level, county-level hospitals with complete departments at the county level, and city-level hospitals with more detailed outpatient divisions.

Adhering to the strict regulations of the Syrian government, the Republic of South China has declared a nationwide ban on drugs from the very beginning of its establishment. In opium poppy-growing areas, government departments have carried out extensive propaganda and mobilization, calling for a ban on the cultivation of opium poppy in order to safeguard the interests of the state and the nation, regardless of whether the land is north and south and whether the land is fertile or barren. If opium poppy seedlings have been planted, they must be eradicated by themselves, and the smoke must be returned to food. Police stations and township governments have set up anti-planting teams to inspect the land of tobacco growers block by block, eradicate and dig up the tobacco seedlings that have been planted on the spot, and confiscate the tobacco seeds that have not yet been planted, and often send people to inspect them, strictly prohibiting tobacco planting.

The smoking ban clearly stipulates that from 2 February, those who traffick, manufacture, and sell tobacco and local drugs will be severely punished, and the three tobacco and local drugs stored in the people will be handed over within a time limit and compensation will be given as appropriate. Health departments at all levels have actively cooperated in publicizing smoking cessation methods, manufacturing smoking cessation drugs, setting up smoking cessation centers and smoking cessation hospitals, helping smokers get rid of drug addiction, and providing free medical treatment to all smokers.

Through various measures, the whole territory of South China has basically lifted the poisoning of drugs to the people's bodies and bodies.

In terms of industry, the nascent South China Republic was basically a blank slate, with the exception of some French-run factories and enterprises in some major cities.

Fortunately, in the current southern Sichuan and southern Yunnan regions, there are as many as 26 machinery factories that can produce various machinery and equipment, and there are six extra-large machinery groups, which can produce all kinds of machine tools including stamping machines, hydraulic presses, forging presses, planers, milling machines, lathes, etc., as well as mechanical and electrical production lines. As a result, a variety of production machinery urgently needed for the development of southern Sichuan was manufactured, and a steady stream of them were transported to all parts of the Republic of South China through railways, highways and even inland waterways, thus enhancing the industrialization process of South China.

The first project in the Republic of South China to be built was a large-scale thermal power plant project in Taiyuan City, Honghe Province. Since the Indochina Peninsula is divided into rainy season and dry season, the lack of rain in winter is more conducive to engineering construction. With the construction of bulldozers, excavators, mixers, elevators, hoists, cranes and other large machinery, in just two months, a number of modern thermal power plant buildings have risen from the ground, and then the large-scale power generation equipment transported by railway has been installed in place, and by the beginning of April, it will be connected to the grid for power generation, and it will begin to supply industrial electricity to Honghe Province, Tan Kyh City and Hai Phong City.

With the normal power supply, the construction of large-scale smelters and steel plants is also in full swing, at the end of May, with the increase in the mining of iron ore and coal mines in Taiyuan, the monthly output of steel in Taiyuan has reached 200,000 tons, and at this time there are still new power plants, smelters and steel plants built, the steel production capacity in Taiyuan is being further improved, and it is entirely possible to achieve a monthly output of 400,000 tons or even 500,000 tons of steel by the end of the year.

At the same time as the construction of steel and energy in the Taiyuan area, the industrial zones of the major cities in South China are also seizing the time to plan and build, and the top priority of industrial construction is to do a good job in infrastructure construction before the rainy season comes, so as to realize the comprehensive connection of water, electricity, transportation and telephone lines, and at the same time build supporting facilities for life to facilitate the migration of workers from Syria and southern Yunnan.

Through scientific planning and rational construction, by the end of July, many factories began to put into production, and the industrial construction of the Republic of South China has stepped onto a high-speed channel. Many French people are dumbfounded and unbelievable at the speed of construction, and have repeatedly praised the Chinese as a nation that is good at creating miracles.

In late February, after accepting the last group of exiled French shipbuilders, and with the skilled workers recruited by Ou Yaoting from Britain, Denmark, Poland, Norway and other places, the shipbuilding bases of the Republic of South China, mainly concentrated in Haiphong and Cam Ranh Bay, also began to take off. While increasing the number of hull workshops, slipways, docks, overhead cranes and other facilities, the construction of destroyers and submarines, which were improved by French ship design experts on the basis of the opinions of the Syrian Ordnance Research Institute, also began in earnest. Due to the full guarantee of capital and raw material investment, it is expected that in half a year, four new destroyers and four U-boats will be launched, and the speed of development of the shipbuilding industry of the Republic of South China can only be described as rapid.

Look at the German investment in South China.

Germany made a remarkable move, with two major investment projects undertaking the construction of South China's main railway network and 24 large hydropower stations at the cost of a 40% stake. Hundreds of German railway and hydropower construction experts came to Nanhua and began to serve the development of Nanhua.

Since the German side only provided funds, the steel, vehicles, machinery, locomotives and various equipment needed for the construction were all purchased from the industrial bases in southern Sichuan and the newly built Annam, which greatly stimulated the economic development of the region, whether it was southern Sichuan, southern Yunnan, or the Republic of South China, they all benefited a lot, and one order after another stimulated the continuous development of industry by leaps and bounds.

At the same time, Germany has invested heavily in various fields such as cement, metallurgy, textiles, electrical appliances, instrumentation, and chemicals, which has greatly stimulated the demand for workers in South China.

It is precisely because of the urgent need for people in all walks of life that by the beginning of 39, the population of the Republic of South China had quietly swelled to an astonishing 65 million people, of which the new industrial areas of the cities accommodated 25 million of the Chinese immigrants, and the villages accommodated about 15 million Chinese immigrants at a ratio of one to one, plus one or two million overseas Chinese engaged in commerce, transportation, and tertiary industry, so that more than 40 million Chinese poured into the Republic of South China during this year. In addition, five million French, Russian, Jewish and other white races have naturalized South China.

The Chinese have always controlled the ratio of four to one or even higher than that of various nationalities and races, maintaining the advantage of integration with various ethnic groups, and South China has become a Chinese country in the true sense of the word.
