In Zhuang Jihua's mind, the important surname of the Burma War I is more important than the defense of Wuhan, China's current national strength is insufficient, and it is very difficult to defeat the book if it wants to read the power, especially without the navy, if you want to develop the navy, without 50 years of accumulation, it is simply impossible, in the previous life, the country has not developed a cruiser aircraft carrier for 60 years of peaceful development. World War II has broken out, Britain and the United States will sooner or later get involved in the war against China, which will greatly reduce the pressure on China, and at the same time can bring a large amount of aid to China.

At this meeting, it was decided to comprehensively promote the development of Guizhou, first of all, industry, Guizhou's industrial base is worse than that of Chongqing, and commercial trade is also inactive, building a steel plant in Shuicheng, building six arsenals in Guiyang, expanding the Guiyang power plant, and building a power plant in Liupanshui; The other is traffic, four traffic arteries immediately began to start construction, communication with Hunan, Chongqing, Guizhou and Yunnan, at the same time, six traffic lines in the province, also began to build.

In addition to the economic aspect, in terms of social reform, rent and interest reductions have been comprehensively promoted, and all cities have begun to register their residents, set up trade unions and peasant associations, set up sub-districts in cities, and set up village committees in rural areas, which was presided over by Xiao Sanmu.

The party organization is also reformed, all party members are re-registered, as long as there are three party members, the party group must form a party group, the party group has an organizational life once a week, and the party member who is absent from the group life for three times will be punished with a warning, absent for four times, and expelled from the party on the spot; The promotion of officials below the head of the county party department shall be subject to the election system, which shall be decided by the vote of grassroots party members. Party organizations must play a leading role in social reform.

As an assistant to the party organization, the Three Youth League should unite and develop young people to join the league under the banner of the Anti-Japanese War. At present, the primary task of the Three Youth League is to publicize and support the social and economic reforms carried out in Guizhou.

Anti-smuggling teams should be set up throughout the province to exercise grain control, and police stations and security regiments should assist anti-smuggling teams in checking and prohibiting smuggling.

Zhuang Jihua tolerated pornography, gambling and drugs in Yucheng and Sichuan, but he did not intend to tolerate pornography, gambling and drugs in Guizhou, especially opium. Opium has a long history in Guizhou, and most of the military salaries of the Guizhou army were exchanged for opium. The joint meeting passed a ban on smoking, banning all opium tobacco dens and destroying all opium cultivation areas, and criminalizing any act of growing, transporting, and selling opium.

However, Zhuang Jihua finally let go of the gambling house and the prostitution house, these two places are not very angry, and the resistance to investigating and dealing with them together is greater, and letting it go for the time being can allow the anti-drug to be smoothly pushed away.

In the end, Zhuang Jihua announced that the deputy director of the Southwest Travel Camp would be seriously in charge of the overall work, and Guizhou Provincial Chairman Wu Dingchang and Li Zhilong, the captain of the Southwest Development Team, would be responsible for assisting, and that Zheng and Li Zhilong would be stationed in Guiyang for this purpose, and the work in Yucheng and Sichuan would be handed over to Chiang Ching-kuo as a whole, and the focus of the work of the Southwest Development Team would begin to shift to Guizhou, and at the same time, Zhuang Jihua's plan to promote Chiang Ching-kuo began to be implemented.

After dealing with the affairs of Guizhou, Zhuang Jihua left Guiyang by plane and flew to Yunnan, where he met with the provincial chairman Li Liejun and the secretary general Feng Yi in Kunming, the two of them have been in Yunnan for three years, and the cooperation between the two is relatively good, the key is that Li Liejun is relatively low-key.

Li Liejun has no desire to develop his own forces, Feng Yi is also more restrained, and he did not let go of the development of CC forces, of course, he is not polite, the directors of various departments were killed by Zhuang Jihua, these people are an important factor in stabilizing Yunnan, he does not dare to change easily, but he has appointed a lot of the directors and section chiefs below.

In the past three years, Yunnan's social reform has been completed fairly smoothly, reserve forces have been established in most areas, the development of the Three Youth League has also been smooth, and the reform of party affairs presided over by Li Anding has been basically completed.

However, the economic development is not very smooth, the steel plant has been put into operation, the aircraft factory has also been put into operation, can produce fighter planes, but Zhuang Jihua and sideways, asked to change the production of P40 fighters, so the equipment made changes, delayed the production of aircraft, and now also began to produce aircraft, the biggest problem is the tank factory, the German-aided tank factory due to the obstruction of the construction of this factory delayed for more than a year, until the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War a year after the outbreak of all the equipment in place.

But soon after the equipment was in place, Hitler ordered the withdrawal of all advisers in China, including the factory's technicians, which delayed the start of the tank factory's production, until later the Soviet Russia decided to assist China in building a tank factory in Sichuan, Li Zhilong asked the Soviet Russian experts to solve the problem of the Yunnan Tank Factory, and the Russian technicians happily accepted the request.

After a comprehensive study of the production equipment of the tank factory, the Soviet Russian technicians believed that this was a relatively backward tank, including the engine, armor protection, and main artillery, which were inferior to the German tanks they knew, and suggested that the production of Soviet Russian T28 light tanks should be changed instead, and the factory in Sichuan also produced T28 light tanks, which required changes in equipment, so it was delayed again.

Zhuang Jihua inquired in detail about the progress of each factory, especially the progress of the construction of the arsenal, and Chen Aihua, director of the newly established Department of Industry, explained in detail the progress of the current factories; most of the factories planned three years ago have now been put into production; four rifle factories have changed to produce semi-automatic rifles; the heavy artillery factory produces 20 105 howitzers per month, and the output of mortars and rocket launchers has reached the design output.

Zhuang Jihua is still satisfied with this result, and the next step is to expand the factory, and he requires that the production capacity be doubled within a year.

"I know it's difficult, but there's no way, the front line needs it, that's our work plan, a year, double the production capacity, can you do it?" Zhuang Jihua said to Chen Aihua solemnly that Chen Aihua was a technical expert who came back from France after the Anti-Japanese War, and was originally a professor at Kunming Institute of Technology, and was invited by Li Liejun to serve as the director of the newly established Department of Industry.

Chen Allen is the first time to see Zhuang Jihua, but the name is already thunderous, now facing Zhuang Jihua's problem, he thought for a moment and said: "Now most factories have just started to operate, it is too hasty to expand production capacity now, we should wait for a while, so that the technicians are fully familiar with the equipment before expanding production capacity." ”

Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said: "No, I repeat, the problem now is that the war needs to not follow the usual practice, it must be an unconventional practice, and it must not affect normal production while expanding." Director Chen, the fact that you were able to come back from France to participate in the War of Resistance fully proves your patriotism. The plan for the next two years is to provide equipment that can meet the needs of 2 million to 2.5 million people, but now we can only meet 1.2 million, and next year we will need 2 million, and the arsenals in Yucheng and Sichuan are also expanding, including the Yucheng Aircraft Factory, which has not been put into operation for a long time, to expand its production capacity. ”

Chen Aihua smiled bitterly and nodded, he only now understood what Feng Yi said, Zhuang Jihua really wants to force people, so that you can't refuse, he thought seriously and asked: "General Zhuang, the expansion of production capacity is so large, how can the funds and equipment come from?" ”

"The equipment can be bought abroad, and Yucheng can make some of it by itself, you have to find your own way to improve production efficiency," Speaking of this, Zhuang Jihua paused before saying: "As for the funds, Chengdu is setting up a stock exchange, you can organize some factories to go public, raise funds from the society, of course, the Southwest Development Team will also invest part, but this part is definitely not enough." As you know, the focus of the development team is on Guizhou, where the funds are mainly invested. ”

This is really to catch a duck on the sedan chair, Chen Aihua reluctantly accepted this task, Feng Yi smiled at him on the other side, but Feng Yi saw Zhuang Jihua this time and felt that he had changed a little, the murderous aura and power on his body were thicker, and it turned out that Zhuang Jihua's sleek appearance disappeared a lot.

In the evening, Feng Yi went to Zhuang Jihua's provincial political axe guest house to visit, the relationship between the two of them is very complicated, Feng Yi is a CC general, Chen Lifu and Zhuang Jihua are now more or less conflicted, and Zhuang Jihua and Feng Yi have both cooperation and conflict in history, but after the southwest development team, the two of them cooperate well, which resolves the grievances in Guangzhou.

However, Feng Yi's visit this time was kind, and after the two of them retreated, Feng Yi asked carefully: "Cultural Revolution, why did the chairman transfer you back?" Have you thought about it? ”

Zhuang Jihua looked at it with some surprise, in his consciousness, Feng Yi was Chiang Kai-shek's person, for this person, he used and guarded, his eyes flashed, Zhuang Jihua immediately thought of the answer: "The chairman asked me to come back because the chairman of Sichuan Province has not found a suitable candidate at present, let me come back to act temporarily, in addition, the front-line military supplies are always insufficient, and they want me to continue to develop the southwest, Brother Wuchang, you know how much equipment the factory people we are engaged in in Yucheng provide, it is not enough at all." ”

Feng Yi knew in his heart that such an answer was decent and in line with the relationship between the two, but this was not what he wanted, nor was it the purpose of his coming today, and after smiling faintly, he said again: "Cultural Revolution, don't tell lies in front of real people, Chairman of the Committee, this is an old mistake, you should be in Wuhan now, not in Sichuan, where you can play a greater role." ”

Zhuang Jihua didn't answer this conversation, how Chiang Kai-shek's old problem is not a secret to these two people, both of them have a clear understanding of Chiang Kai-shek, Zhuang Jihua lent Feng Yi tea and looked at him, and estimated what he meant.

Feng Yi saw that Zhuang Jihua didn't answer, so he continued: "The Cultural Revolution, the development of the southwest has reached a bottleneck, whether it is technology or capital, it has reached a bottleneck, and your money is probably almost gone." ”

Speaking of this, Zhuang Jihua stared at him suddenly, Feng Yi picked up the teacup and said indifferently: "The funds for the development of the southwest are your family property, which is a secret to outsiders, but not to me, the first time I heard this rumor, I knew it was true." ”
