At the end of March, the belated Spring Girl finally arrived in Shenyang. The willow trees along the river have begun to sprout, and a little bit of new green is tenaciously rendered in the gray streets of Shenyang, and it is about to form a vigorous trend.

Liu Yimin sat in the office early in the morning and looked at the Northeast administrative division setting plan sent by Guo Hongtao, secretary general of the Northeast Bureau.

At this time, the northeast was very chaotic in administrative divisions, and it was messed up by the Japanese puppets. Kwantung Prefecture is directly under the jurisdiction of the Kwantung Army and does not belong to the administrative division of the puppet Manchukuo; Sakhalin Island, the Far East, and Outer Mongolia, which had newly recovered sovereignty, nominally belonged to the puppet state of Manchukuo, but the Kwantung Army did not allow the puppet state of Manchukuo to set up administrative organs, and for the time being, they were all under the military control of the East Army. The area ruled by the puppet state of Manchukuo was still within the scope of the pre-Japanese-Soviet war, but a few more provinces were added, and the four provinces of Heijireliao, which originally belonged to the Republic of China, were divided into one city and nineteen provinces.

The puppet state of Manchukuo implemented administrative divisions at the provincial and county levels.

In addition to restoring the five original administrative divisions of the Republic of China, namely, Rehe, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, and Mongolia, the Far Eastern Province, Vladivostok Special City, and Sakhalin Special Administrative Region were added.

When Liu Yimin first entered Shenyang, he had already stated in the telegram that the administrative division of the Republic of China would be restored. However, he came from later generations and knew that the Republic of China would be replaced by the nascent People's Republic of China in a few years. Therefore, he has his own views on the setting of administrative divisions. For example, the Sakhalin Special Administrative Region might as well be directly called Sakhalin Province, and in the future, Taiwan and Hainan will both be set up as provinces, and China will have three island provinces. Another example is the Far Eastern Province, the name sounds harsh, with colonial invasion color, it should be like Qianlong named Xinjiang, including the meaning of the new return of the homeland, it is completely possible to divide the Far East into two provinces, the south of the Outer Khing'an Mountains and the north of the Heilongjiang River can be called Xinyu Province, and the area east of the Ussuri River is divided into Vladivostok Special City, or called Whale Sea Province, Whale Sea is the ancient Chinese name of the Sea of Japan, and it is appropriate to name the return to the homeland east of the Ussuri River. There is also a Mongolian place, which is more awkward and awkward, so it is better to name it directly as Mongolian Province. As for Vladivostok Special City, although it is only a military port city now, in the long run, it is entirely possible to develop into a treaty port metropolis comparable to Shanghai, Qingdao and Dalian.

Liu Yimin knew that after the liberation, most of Rehe was assigned to Hebei Province, and Inner Mongolia was established as an autonomous region, both of which belonged to North China, and Northeast China was only three provinces. Outer Mongolia was completely ** and became Mongolia. The Far East was all included in the USSR. Now, under their own careful planning, Outer Mongolia and the Far East will return to the motherland, and this division can be adjusted well. However, the stakes are serious, and the Northeast Bureau only has the right to make suggestions, and the real zoning must be reported to the central government for consideration and confirmed through formal meeting procedures. Moreover, it is too early to discuss this matter at this time, and if our party openly sets up the administrative division of the northeast at this time, it will inevitably cause a strong backlash from the Kuomintang. Everything will have to wait until the Kwantung Army has been eliminated, and by then the general trend of the Japanese army has gone, and it is up to our Party to decide on the establishment of administrative divisions in this way.

Liu Yimin thought about it and put pen to paper and approved the plan report: "The announcement of the war report to the outside world should be based on the name of the administrative division announced by the national government. However, it should be reported to the Central Committee in the name of the Northeast Bureau, and it is recommended that after our army has eliminated the Kwantung Army and the puppet Manchurian army, the administrative division of the Northeast should be re-established. My opinion is: Rehe, Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang should be reinstated, Mongolia should be renamed Mongolian Province or Outer Mongolia Autonomous Region, Sakhalin Island should be divided into Sakhalin Province, the Far East should be divided into two provinces, and the area south of the Outer Khing'an Mountains and north of Heilongjiang should be set up as Xinyu Province, which is synonymous with Emperor Qianlong's naming of Xinjiang; The area east of the Ussuri River is set up in the Whale Sea Province, which is named after the ancient Chinese name of the Sea of Japan, and the names of the two provinces both contain the meaning of returning to the homeland. In addition, two special cities, Dalian and Vladivostok, will be set up to build a large treaty port city similar to Shanghai. ”

Writing this, Liu Yimin looked up at the window, and saw that the withered grass next to the rockery in the yard was a little green, and his psychology became lively, and he lowered his head and continued to write: "The establishment of party, government, and military institutions and cadre allocation in various provinces reported by the Northeast Bureau to the Central Committee are subject to the new opinions. ”
