Zhabei District, Shanghai.

Former Philippine President Emilio. Aquino and a few of his henchmen now live in a slum house. This is probably the worst house he has ever lived in in his life, he is the head of the Aquino family, one of the three major indigenous families in the Philippines, and has lived a pampered and wealthy life since he was a child. He was a well-known figure both during the Spanish colonial period and during the short-lived First Philippine Republic.

However, after the Americans came to the Philippines, they were very jealous of him, the founding president of the Philippine Republic, and spared no effort to suppress him and the entire Aquino family. He was exiled to Hong Kong for a time, and there he also got in touch with the Japanese side.

I originally hoped to seize power in the Philippines with the support and help of the Japanese, but who knew that these Japanese would eventually be unable to protect themselves, lost to the GCD in the civil war, and went to China. Now he has introduced the relationship between China's National Intelligence Agency and Aquino, saying that he is willing to help the Philippines fight for independence Chinese...... However, Emilio has been up and down in Philippine politics for so many years. Aquino is not a three-year-old child, just look at the temporary accommodation arranged for him by the so-called National Intelligence Agency of China (not that GC International is reluctant to give money, but is afraid of being discovered by the China Secrecy Bureau), you can know how suspicious the identity of the other party is!

However, Aquino did not expose Kenji Dohihara (which was the real thing) who had deceived him into coming to Shanghai, and he also took the trouble to conduct several secret negotiations with General Ren Yihai (Ren Fuchen) of the so-called Chinese National Intelligence Agency. Today, I heard from this Ren Yihai that there is a way to liberate the Philippines from US colonial rule.

"Organizing the Philippine Red Brigades? General, are you saying that China can help us Filipino dead soldiers to attack the Americans? ”

Faced with the question of Aquino's eyes shining. Ren Fuchen, who emerged as a major general of the National Intelligence Agency, nodded affirmatively: "That's right, in order to combat the colonial rule of US imperialism, we should try all kinds of methods." While organizing the Red Brigades to carry out terrorist attacks, you can also follow the example of India's Gandhi and mobilize the Filipino people in a non-violent non-cooperation struggle. It is also possible to send a representative to the League of Nations to complain about the United States aggression against the Philippines. They can even send people to the United States to tell the American people the truth about the brutal rule of the United States government in the Philippines. In short, all kinds of methods can be tried, and our National Intelligence Agency of China can provide you with assistance within our ability! ”

Although he has seen through that the other party is not a real Chinese intelligence officer, Mr. Aquino is still willing to accept assistance. In this era, the anti-colonial fighters in Asia, Africa and Latin America all believed in the principle that if you have milk, you will be a mother. It doesn't matter if he is Japanese, GCD, or Chinese, as long as he can get assistance, he can all cooperate. Dare to make any promises, anyway, after the success of the revolution, they will be white-eyed wolves who turn their faces and deny people.

After reaching an agreement in principle, the ensuing negotiations proceeded very smoothly. Filipino nationalists, represented by Aquino, are determined to seek independence. The GC International and the Soviet Union behind Ren Fuchen are also sincerely helping the Filipino people, and they are still doing good deeds without leaving a name. Not to mention the rewards that come with the results.

The details of the cooperation between the two parties are not complicated. GC International has provided money, weapons, and instructors to set up a secret base on an inaccessible island in the Philippines. Aquino and his gang were responsible for finding Filipino hot-blooded youths to receive training, and after the training was over, they began to attack American targets and American citizens across the Philippines, doing similar things to the Red Brigade pulled up by Changda terrorists in the early years. After the terrorist attack is completed, the Philippine newspaper will be called to show the signboard of the Red Brigades!

……

Because the Shanghai Free City has grown into a financial and trade center in East Asia, and tens of millions of foreigners come and go every day, the agents of China's State Secrets Bureau did not find out that former Philippine President Benigno Aquino had come to Shanghai to live for a few days in May 1924, let alone that he had hooked up with the so-called agents of China's National Intelligence Agency.

Therefore, Chang Ruiqing, who has already washed his hands and does not dry up as a terrorist, does not know. I already have a troublesome Filipino apprentice myself. His main attention now is on two aspects, one is when he will be able to eat the fat meat of Siamese in his mouth; The second is the establishment of the Federation of Great China and the Republic of the Far East. Especially the latter. It is a major event that will forever be recorded in history, and there can be no mistakes.

To this end, Chang Ruiqing began his first trip to the Far East in early June 1924 after arranging the two plans of inciting the Siamese Revolution and invading Siam.

In June, it was already spring season in the Far East, the fertile fields on the east bank of the Ussuri River had been sown, the seedlings of wheat and rice were growing vigorously, and as far as the eye could see, both sides of the Far Eastern Railway were lush and vibrant.

Boli, Xin'antu, Shuangchengzi and Vladivostok, every important station of the Far Eastern Railway is crowded with people. Every day, countless Japanese refugees with their families leave the Far East by train, and almost the same number of immigrants from Chinese mainland move in.

After a war of fortunes, the former ruler of the Japanese Empire has been shattered, and the victorious China has once again embraced its decades-old homeland. The tens of millions of Japanese pioneers living here have become a bit of a problem.

The original plan of forcible expulsion became very anachronistic due to the emergence of the Japan-China Treaty and the occurrence of the Japanese Revolution. Moreover, tens of millions of Japanese are also a huge force for Soviet Japan, and if nothing else, according to the 6% mobilization ratio alone, the Japanese GCD will be able to mobilize 600,000 Red Army from among them in the future world revolution!

But to let them live in this land of the Far East is also raising tigers! Although after the fiasco of the war and the "miracles" of the Great Kanto Earthquake, the Japanese living in the Far East were extremely obedient and worshiped our Changdai immortals. However, Chang Ruiqing knows very well that he is not a god, and he will be gone in the future. The descendants of the Japanese in the Far East cannot guarantee that they will not give birth to separatist thoughts! So at his insistence, after the end of the spring ploughing in 1924, an unprecedented resettlement project was launched in the Far East and even in the whole of China.

And Chang Ruiqing's main purpose of going north this time. It is to supervise the implementation of the immigration project on the spot!

“…… Chairman, according to rough statistics, in the territory of the future Far Eastern Republic, a total of 9.55 million people of the He clan now live. About 7 million of them are agricultural, mainly on the eastern bank of the Ussuri River and on the plains around Lake Xingkai. The remaining 2.5 million people belong to the industrial and commercial population, which were originally mainly engaged in mining, construction, transportation, non-ferrous metal smelting, food processing and other industries. In addition, the Far East has a relatively well-developed administrative system and educational facilities. Therefore, there are also a large number of former government officials and teachers in primary and secondary schools, with a number of about 50,000. ”

In a special train slowly driving on the Far Eastern Railway, Zhou Elai, the newly appointed premier of the Far Eastern Provisional Government, was holding a pile of materials to introduce the situation to Chang Ruiqing. After years of experience in Xinjiang. The Prime Minister of the later Republic has now shown great administrative skills, and after only two months in office in the Far East, he has not only set up the teams of government at all levels, but also taken over the administration of the Far East from the Wehrmacht. Moreover, the population and economic situation of the Far East were thoroughly understood. A pilot project plan has also been developed for the pilot project. However, at this time, Premier Zhou's two thick eyebrows were slightly twisted.

"Xiangyu, the difficulty of immigration is in the present generation, and the benefits are in the future." Chang Ruiqing looked at Zhou Elai's complexion and knew that he was worried about the big immigration, so he smiled slightly and explained: "Now it is very troublesome to move millions of people from the Far East and tens of millions of people from the mainland. The cost is also enormous. However, there is no guarantee that the land of the Far East will always belong to China, nor that the tens of millions of Japanese here will integrate into the Chinese. And such a thing is most appropriate to do now. The aftermath of last year's victory is still there, and the special effects of the Great East Earthquake are still there, and they are the most fearful and obedient time, almost at our mercy, if after ten or eight years, the fear in their hearts fades, all kinds of thoughts will rise, and things will be even more difficult to do. ”

Zhou Elai sighed secretly and said in a low voice: "The resettlement project has dealt a great blow to the economic and social development of the Far East, which was originally the ...... that could have built China's Ruhr area."

What he said is the truth, the coastal areas of the Far East are very rich in coal and non-ferrous metal resources, and after decades of construction by the Russians and Japanese, all kinds of infrastructure are incomparable with Chinese mainland, and what is even more rare is that the education process of the Japanese pioneers in the Far East is much higher than that of the people in the Chinese mainland, and there are quite a lot of engineering and technical personnel and skilled workers.

"Xiangyu, you know, all engineering and technical personnel and skilled workers will play a greater role in the new position." Chang Ruiqing's words are not bad. This time, the resettlement project was not carried out by the method of a market economy, but by the road of a planned economy. It took more than half a year for the Far East Military Control Commission and the Provisional Government of the Far East to find out the situation of every Japanese pioneer in the Far East. Migration is then arranged according to their previous occupation and education, and jobs or land are assigned...... And housing (their housing in the Far East, of course, was also nationalized)! If it were not for the military management in the Far East and the semi-planned and semi-market economic system now practiced in China, with a large number of state-controlled enterprises, such a resettlement project would simply be unthinkable. Although there will certainly be problems in the process of allocating jobs, land and housing, it is possible to make full use of these talents, which are very valuable to China, in the shortest possible time.

Zhou Elai smiled bitterly, as the prime minister of the Far East, it is always a little unpleasant to think that the territory under his management has completely regressed in the economic and social fields.

Seeing his expression, Chang Ruiqing laughed: "The infrastructure and resources of the Far East are still there, and after a few years, after a large number of domestic college and technical school students graduate, the foundation and resource advantages of the Far East will still be effective, and then the Far East will definitely be able to build China's Ruhr Area under the leadership of Xiangyu." ”

Hearing Chang Ruiqing say this, Zhou Elai's face suddenly looked much better, and he began to talk to Chang Ruiqing about his grand ideal of building the Far East again: "Chairman of the Committee, our GC doctrine in Xinjiang cannot be implemented due to various reasons. But that doesn't mean that the economic principles of GCISM are wrong. After several months of research, I found that the conditions in the Far East are very suitable for the governance of a planned economy of GCISM. The vast plains on both sides of the Far Eastern Railway are ideal for electrified agriculture, where we can build state farms that are far larger and more efficient than individual farmers. Take the road of intensive and large-scale agricultural development.

The Far East is very rich in mineral resources, shallow and easy to exploit, and there are mines left by the Japanese and Russians, most of which are now managed by the Provisional Government, and large state-owned mining companies should not be privatized in the future. It can also rely on coal mines, tin mines, tungsten mines, lead-zinc mines, and bauxite mines to establish steel plants and various non-ferrous metal smelting plants.

The Far East is also very rich in forestry and fishery resources, and we can establish state forestry and fishing companies. Not only can trees be cut down for fishing, but also timber processing and fishery processing enterprises can be built. The products produced can not only meet domestic needs, but also be exported for exchange.

In addition, large and medium-sized cities in the Far East, although the infrastructure is good. However, most of the industrial and commercial enterprises set up by the Japanese had closed down due to the impact of the war, and the few that were still maintained did not have much vitality, so we could have taken them all over and operated them according to the method of the GCIST planned economy......

Zhou E's eyebrows fluttered. But it was a little tasteless in Chang Ruiqing's ears. Especially when he heard that Zhou Elai wanted to take over the urban industry and commerce in the Far East, he couldn't help but sigh when he started a big pot of rice.

"Xiangyu, some things are one thing to say, and another thing to do."

"But a planned economy is completely feasible! Isn't the achievement of China's heavy industry construction in the past few years benefiting from the superiority of the planned economic system? As far as I know, after the introduction of a planned economy in the Soviet Union, considerable achievements were made in industrial and agricultural production. "Zhou Elai recited a lot of numbers, how much steel production has increased, how much coal production has increased, how much power generation has increased. And how much more has the production of shipbuilding, automobiles, tractors and the mileage of railways operated. In short, under the purely planned economy of the Soviet Union and the semi-planned economic system of Chinese state socialism, the heavy industrial production of the two countries was in great shape. The rate of growth is unmatched by any capitalist country. Such achievements have proved the superiority of the planned economy, so why can't the Far East implement it in its entirety?

"Xiangyu, the planned economy cannot be all-encompassing, and the advantage of this system is to concentrate on doing big things, so it is possible to use it to promote the unconventional development of a small number of key industries, but it is absolutely not feasible to use it for the entire national economy."

"Why?" "We all know that the world war is approaching, and now the Soviet Union and Japan, which have implemented a planned economy, have concentrated almost all their efforts in the construction of heavy industry. Yet we spent a lot of money on the production of too much cloth, clothes, furniture, toys, shoes, porcelain, bicycles, all kinds of delicious food, and much more money on speculative land to build houses, restaurants, hostels, banks, securities companies, cinemas, amusement parks, and even, casinos and pornography! ”

In the end, Premier Zhou Da sternly pointed out: "Why can't we use all those funds to build heavy industry that can win us the world war?" ”

Why? Chang Ruiqing smiled bitterly, and four words came to mind: go to the mountains and go to the countryside! In another time and space, from the beginning of the 1950s to the end of the 1970s, it was almost the period when the good prime minister of the people in front of me was in power. In the process of transforming China from a poor and white agricultural country to the initial completion of industrialization, the establishment of a perfect industrial system, and the emergence of a modern socialist power, there was a miracle of a large number of urban people flowing to the countryside, and it was achieved under the condition that China's urbanization rate was quite low!

In Chang Ruiqing's view, an important reason for this is that under the conditions of the planned economy, capital is concentrated in large quantities in the field of heavy industry, which can produce a large amount of industrial added value, but cannot solve the problem of much employment. Light industry, commerce, services and construction, which can accommodate a large number of jobs, have either shrunk or stagnated due to a lack of investment and strict regulations. In the end, there was a situation of rapid industrial growth, but the supply of all light industrial products related to the people's livelihood was insufficient, and the commercial and service industries were also unable to meet the demand, and at the same time, young people who could be used for light industrial production and commerce and service industries were sent to the rural areas where there were many people and little land to farm......

Thinking of this, Chang Ruiqing also said to Zhou E with the same solemn expression: "Comrade Xiangyu, our national conditions are different from those of the Soviet Union and Japan. We have a population of 500 million, the vast majority of whom are peasants, but the total area of cultivated land in our country is only more than 1 billion mu, and it is impossible to make so many peasants rich by relying on these lands in any case, let alone that more peasants will be multiplied in the future. The only way for them to become rich is to go to the cities to engage in industrial and commercial production, so we need an urban industry and commerce that is very prosperous in all aspects, not a single heavy industry, which will not be able to absorb so many rural surplus people! If we fail to solve this problem, we will not be able to achieve even the most basic social stability, and what kind of foreign war will we talk about? (To be continued.) )
