Chapter 183 Military and Political Conference

The next speaker was Yang Yuwei, who and the staff of the Bank of China under her leadership can be said to be a model of external beauty and inner tension.

Bank of China has a weak foundation, few personnel, and heavy tasks. In the past few months, in order to ensure the stable operation of the entire financial system in Sichuan, it can be said that she has not had a good night's sleep at all.

In the eyes of others, the people of the Bank of China are well-dressed all day long, and they are treated as VIPs wherever they go, and everyone simply treats them as the God of Wealth.

Only the Bank of China itself knows how much psychological pressure it can be to face those piles of numbers every day.

In particular, when organizing industrial and commercial bidding meetings and the reform of the joint-stock system, the work intensity of the staff of several banks of the Bank of China was definitely not lower than that of the workers working on various construction sites.

Fortunately, several potential financial crises have been resolved under the leadership of Yang Yuwei and others, and now, Yang Yuwei's mood is as relaxed as the spring outside.

"Report to everyone, our bank is running steadily, the balance is sufficient, and there will be no problems in Sichuan's financial system. Government financial surpluses are sufficient to support a wide range of military and economic operations. ”

After Yang Yuwei finished speaking, Zhao Ke spoke next.

After Zhao Ke became the director of the National Development and Reform Commission, in the eyes of many people, she was the most flattering person. The money is in Yang Yuwei's hands, but to get this money, everyone needs to pass through Zhao Ke.

Zhao Ke has not had a good night's sleep these days, and when she is the busiest, she and Ye Xiaoqiu have to visit six or seven companies a day! Then you have to study the data, absolutely how much money and how much manpower to invest in this enterprise.

Zhao Ke's expert group. Everyone else has lost a lot of weight, and even the five big and three thick Germans can't hold it anymore, but Zhao Ke is getting more and more bright and moving. The figure is not thin at all. She and Yang Yuwei are becoming more and more beautiful, and they are called the two miracles.

"Chairman Xie, colleagues, everyone can see the tremendous achievements made in Sichuan's economic construction over the past year or so. More than one road has been connected to each county, and the roadbed of the railway has been dug. Coal mines, which are the base of industry, have reached a production capacity of 2 million tons of coal per month, and 33 large and small power plants have been put into operation. More than 1,000 factories in light and heavy industries have been built, and most of them have officially started production. Now, the steel plant in Chongqing has entered the equipment installation stage. The iron ore mine has already started production......"

Zhao Ke spoke for half an hour, and everyone listened attentively.

Wait until Zhao Ke finishes speaking, and Xie Xinzhi will speak next. Having worked with the land all his life, he now holds the position of director of the Sichuan Provincial Government's Bureau of Agriculture. His speech was compared to that of the people in front of him. It's a bit trivial.

"Our Agricultural Bureau has also done a lot of things this year, first of all, we have organized a lot of experienced farmers, herdsmen, and experts from Germany and the United States to establish the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and start the introduction ......"

After chattering for a long time, Provincial Chairman Xie Xinren saw that everyone else was embarrassed to interrupt his long-winded brother's speech, so he had to cough lightly. Xie Xinzhi realized that he had said too much, and he was a little embarrassed. He hurriedly concluded his speech: "We now have 9.3 million tons of grain in stock, which can be allocated at any time. ”

This is what other people here want to hear, and having so much grain in store means that Sichuan can mobilize a large number of people to do what they want to do.

Ye Xiaoqiu is not as magical as Zhao Ke and Yang Yuwei.

The long-term running has made her lose some weight, the whole person is less charming, and a little more capable, and now she is the big boss of the entire Sichuan business system.

"There are no problems with the production of the commercial system, the fuel, the raw materials, the personnel, all have been guaranteed, and now our problem is the problem of sales. It is expected that in another three months, the products produced by many enterprises will not be able to be digested by Sichuan alone. But now that the European war has broken out, imports will definitely be greatly reduced, and it is a good opportunity for the products of our Sichuan enterprises to occupy the whole federation. ”

Thinking of the bright future that was coming, Ye Xiaoqiu felt very excited.

The government also made reports on a few of them, and the heads of other public security bureaus, taxation bureaus, education bureaus, and health bureaus did not attend the meeting; after all, this meeting was to study the general policies of the whole of Sichuan, and not to listen to the summary of the situation of each department.

Now that the government, parliament, courts, and prosecutor's office have spoken, it's time to listen to the revolutionary army.

At the end of last year, the entire Federal Republic of China underwent another reorganization, unified its number, abolished the titles of group army and front army, and the highest structure was the "army."

The regular army on the Sichuan side was organized into three armies, numbered the 17th, 18th, and 19th armies.

The troops in Sichuan have not been expanded, and they are still one heavily armed army and two lightly armed troops, but the officers of the troops have carried out large-scale exchanges. However, due to the existence of the shelf army, as long as the shape is needed, six armies can be expanded at any time.

At present, the three army commanders are Xu Geng, Peng De and Su Huaiyu.

The three division commanders of the Seventeenth Army were Xu Geng, Su Huaiyu, and Lin Sanhu; The Eighteenth Army was Peng De, Wu Yongqiang, and Su Wanyun; The Nineteenth Army was Lin Xianyun, Zhang Chengyue, and Xu Zhongjun.

Xie Niancheng, commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Army, Su Wei, director of the political department, and Huang Xue, chief of staff; Artillery Division Commander Wen Deyun; Haruko, Director of the Headquarters Secretariat; Zhang Mang, head of the headquarters guard regiment.

The three full-fledged divisions of the 17th Army and the troops of the 18th and 19th armies have also strengthened their firepower at the regimental and division levels.

The 17th Army had more than 50,000 men, the 18th Army and the 19th Army each had more than 30,000 people, and the regular troops totaled 130,000. In addition, there are more than 1 million strong men who have undergone military training, 10,000 military cadets, and 120,000 police officers in the province.

In addition, the 20th and 21st armies in Yunnan and the 22nd army in Guizhou were nominally under the command of Xie Niancheng.

Speaking on behalf of the revolutionary army was Su Wei, director of the political department.

"All units of our revolutionary army are well trained, have sufficient weapons and ammunition, and are ready to fight at any time."

"Very good, next, please ask Chief of General Staff Huang to introduce the current situation to you."

Huang Xue got up and bowed to everyone, he has been the chief of the General Staff for so long, and the temperament of a little man in Shanghai is gone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the current international form is very clear. When the war broke out in Europe, the Great Powers would not make a big move in the Far East for a few years. For the Chinese Federation, it is a good opportunity to unify the country. At present, the revolutionary army has begun the second northern expedition, and according to the deduction of our general staff, within half a year, the revolutionary army will be able to occupy the whole of North China. ”

"As far as our Sichuan Revolutionary Army is concerned, now that the revolutionary armies in Yunnan and Guizhou have expressed their obedience to our command, then our east, south, and north are all friendly forces, and only Tibet in the west, under the influence of Britain and India, is planning to become independent, and we need to be vigilant."

Huang Xue sat down after speaking.

"How is it, the situation is very clear, do you have any suggestions for our next actions?" Xie Niancheng asked.

Since the beginning of the army, all the major policies have been formulated by Xie Niancheng, but he still likes to ask everyone's opinions first, and he is not willing to make the entire group into a one-word hall.

"Commander-in-chief, we should send troops to participate in the Northern Expedition and speed up the process of national reunification." Idealist Luo Wenxuan was the first to speak.

Luo Wenxuan's idea was not unique to him, and after he said it, several people quickly echoed it.

These people's analysis of the advantages of sending troops is as follows: the troops can only get stronger and stronger in actual combat; The troops will be of great benefit to the export of Sichuan's industrial products; When the troops are well fought, they can increase the prestige of Sichuan......

"In my opinion, we should still take advantage of Yungui and go south to the Indochina Peninsula!" This is Xu Wenchang's idea.

"Let's think about it, if we go east or go north, no matter how good we fight, there will be no substantial benefit to our Sichuan, it is better to take advantage of the European war, the great powers are unable to look eastward, and we go south to recover the Indochina Peninsula that has been gradually lost in the past hundred years, or even the entire South Seas! The Indochina Peninsula and the South Seas are rich in products, and if they can occupy the Indochina Peninsula and the South Seas, it will be much better than sending troops to fight a civil war. ”

Xu Wenchang's speech changed everyone's thinking.

Yes, the European powers were busy fighting, and it was indeed a good time to recover Indochina and the South Seas.

"However, Chairman Xu, some of the countries in the Indochina Peninsula and the South Seas are colonies of the great powers, and some are 'protectorates', so it's not good for us to fight like this."

"Hehe, rest assured, the commander-in-chief has already arranged this."

Others don't know, but Xu Wenchang knows that now the Han people in Nanyang and Indochina have taken up arms to resist the unfair treatment, and they have established the "Nanyang Revolutionary Army".

The Nanyang Revolutionary Army has a mixed and complex background, with a total of 100,000 people in more than 10 countries! The Nanyang Revolutionary Army, which directly obeyed Xie Niancheng's orders, numbered about 30,000 troops.

"Since you are going to recover the South Seas and the Indochina Peninsula, why don't you just recover Tibet as well? How about recovering Tibet and then recovering the Western Regions? "Xu Geng has always been a person with lofty ambitions.

Everyone discussed passionately for a while, and finally they all set their eyes on Xie Niancheng very tacitly.

He can only make up his mind.

Xie Niancheng said: "What everyone says makes sense, and I want to do everything you say...... However, our current strength in Sichuan is still not enough, and we really can't afford all these plans. ”

"The matter of economic construction will be handed over to Chairman Xie, Speaker Luo, President Yang, Director Zhao, and Director Ye."

"Militarily, 5,000 officers and soldiers were selected and transferred from various units to join the 'Nanyang Revolutionary Army', and this matter was entrusted to Commander Lin Xianyun and Lin to be responsible."

"The rest of the troops of the Eighteenth Army were deployed to defend Sichuan, and the officers and soldiers were ready to go to Nanyang to participate in the round battle; Each division of the 17th Army and the 19th Army dispatched elite officers and soldiers to form a lightly armed regiment and prepared to march into the Tibetan Plateau! ”

Indochina Peninsula, Nanyang, Tibet, I'm here! (To be continued......)
