Chapter 494 - It was decided that Bay Island should be established as a province
Presidential palace.
Jiang Fangzhen reported to Xiao Zhenlei: "President, Cai Guodong from the front line sent a telegram that the beach-grabbing landing operation was smooth, and almost all units successfully landed at the same time, and in the process of the beach-grabbing landing in three places, the navy, land and air forces cooperated tacitly, the attack was orderly, and the casualties of our army were negligible. Now the 37th Division has captured Keelung, the 38th Division has captured Changhua and Taichung, the 39th Division has captured Magong, and the 37th Division is currently resting in Keelung, and the 38th Division is divided into three parts, one part remains in Changhua, one part goes south to attack Chiayi, and the other part goes north to attack Hsinchu. The commander of the Japanese army stationed in Magong has already led his troops to surrender, and our 39th Division is collecting prisoners and receiving garrison work! ”
After Xiao Zhenlei smoked a cigarette and listened to Jiang Fangzhen's report, he said: "It seems that the Japanese are not stupid, even if they act, there are casualties, they will definitely choose to surrender in advance in order to reduce casualties, but it doesn't matter, our two armies are more than 100,000 troops, and the Japanese army is only a few thousand, it is normal for our army to take Bay Island with thunder, I don't think the foreigners can see any flaws, since this is the case, then give Cai Guodong an order, let him fight according to this progress, when will the Japanese on Bay Island surrender, Then go ahead and take the Ryukyu Islands."
"Okay, I'll go and give Cai Guodong an order, if there is nothing else, I'll leave first!" Jiang Fangzhen saluted after speaking.
Xiao Zhenlei nodded and said, "That's okay, you can go!" ”
After Jiang Baili left, Xiao Zhenlei thought about it and picked up the phone and said, "Xiao Gao, inform the members of the party's highest standing committee that a meeting will be held tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning!" ”
Xiao Gao reminded on the phone: "President, tomorrow morning's work is full!" “
Xiao Zhenlei said: "Then push it back, tomorrow's meeting is very important!" ”
"Okay. Great President! ”
At nine o'clock in the morning on March 4, the Predator Party held a meeting of the Standing Committee at the highest level. Xiao Zhenlei personally presided over the meeting.
On the rectangular table is a circle of white porcelain cups, all filled with boiling water. Xiao Zhenlei and the others walked into the conference room with a smile and sat down according to their seats.
Xiao Zhenlei sat on the main seat and waited for everyone to sit down before he spoke: "Okay, everyone is here, then let's start, the main topic of this meeting is the issue of the establishment of a province on Bay Island, the Thirteenth Army and the Fourteenth Army under the command of Cai Guodong have successfully landed in Magong, Keelung and Changhua respectively, and it will be a matter of this month to take the entire territory of Bay Island. So this meeting. We are mainly discussing this issue, if we want to build the Bay Island as a province, then how to build it? Let me all share your opinions, and I'm sure you haven't thought about it."
"Ahem!" Song Shijie first said: "Secretary-General, everyone, let me first tell you my opinion!" The area of Bay Island is not large, and if there are governments under the province, there will be no few prefectures, so I think it is better not to have counties. All counties have been upgraded to prefectures, and there are no more counties on Bay Island, and if it is a relatively large area or economically developed prefecture, districts can be set up under the prefecture. There are towns below the district, and below the town are villages, and if it is a small area or an economically underdeveloped province. Towns and villages are set up directly below! ”
Everyone nodded when they heard this, indicating that this administrative setup was okay. Fan Zhiyong asked: "If it is set up in this way, how will the district level of government determine its administrative level?" Equivalent to the county level? ”
Song Shijie nodded and said, "Yes." It is equivalent to the county level, and the setting of districts is generally only available in Fucheng, the economy is relatively developed, the urban population is large, and the economically underdeveloped and densely populated Fucheng does not have districts! ”
Xiao Zhenlei watched the others express their opinions, he took out a cigarette and lit it, and after taking a few puffs, he saw that everyone had stopped, so he shook his head and said: "You can't divide it like this, if you divide it like this, you can't show the advantages and disadvantages, how can a poor county be the same as a rich county?" In the future, we will also abolish the prefecture and set up a city in the hinterland, and there will be two kinds of cities, one is a county-level city, and the other is a prefecture-level city, and in addition to the county and city, it is also necessary to set up districts."
Lin Zhiqiang asked: "Secretary-General, what is the difference between this prefecture-level city and a county-level city?" And what is the administrative level of the district in the middle? ”
Xiao Zhenlei flicked the cigarette ash and said: "The county is based on agriculture as the main economy, and the agricultural income accounts for the majority of the fiscal revenue, if the industrial economy of a county exceeds the agricultural economy to occupy the main economic structure, you can apply to build a city, called a county-level city, the county-level city and the county are at the same level, the only difference is that the main economy of the county-level city is the industrial economy, and the main economy of the county is agriculture, and the transformation from agriculture to industry is also a great achievement, although they are the same at the administrative level, but there are also essential differencesIf the urban area of the city is larger, the population reaches a certain level, and the economic scale reaches a certain standard, the urban area can be divided and the district-level government agencies can be set up, and the administrative level of the district is the same as that of the county-level city and county, and the difference between it and the county-level city and county is that it does not have an agricultural economy, and it is all industrial and commercial! ”
Someone else asked: "Secretary-General, after the establishment of the province of Wan Island, will all the counties be upgraded to cities, or will all the prefectures be reduced to counties?" Or is it a county-level city? ”
Xiao Zhenlei smoked a cigarette, thought for a while and said: "In fact, the area of Bay Island is not small, and it is located in the middle of the sea, which can vigorously develop the shipping business, vigorously grow camphor, cane sugar and rice, if our central government vigorously supports it, it can develop in a very short time, I think it can be divided according to the current administrative area, and the Ryukyus can also be divided under its rule, and the Ryukyus will be set up as a city, and the others will be divided into counties according to the type and size of the economy, the number of populations and the size of the region. County-level cities and prefecture-level cities and so on! In this way, it can play a spur role for those counties that are poor and whose economic aggregate is low."
"I agree!"
"Agreed!"
"I agree!"
The bigwigs expressed their support one after another, and even Song Shijie, who originally built the county and only set up a government, admitted that Xiao Zhenlei's construction was the best construction, and also said that he would give up his idea and support Xiao Zhenlei's construction instead.
Xiao Zhenlei looked at the others and saw that everyone agreed to this arrangement, so he said: "Okay, then it's decided, in addition to the Han people on Bay Island, there are also minority people on Bay Island, for the people of these ethnic minorities, my opinion is to treat them the same as the ethnic minorities in China, and their status is the same as that of the Han people, and in some aspects, the government can also appropriately carry out policy tilts and fully respect their ethnic life and customs!" ”
"In addition, there are still many Japanese people on Bay Island and Ryukyu, what do you think should be done about these Japanese people? Do you want them to stay? Or will they all be sent to Japan? ”
At this time, Chen Huizu said: "Secretary-General, I don't think the Japanese can stay, there were no Japanese on Wandao and Ryukyu, and now there are so many Japanese because of the colonization of the Japanese authorities, and now our country wants to take back Wandao and Ryukyu, of course, we can't let those Japanese who have been colonized stay, and leaving those Japanese is easy to cause ethnic disputes, my opinion is to repatriate all those Japanese to Japan, and it is not allowed to take any valuables such as gold and silver!" ”
Someone frowned and objected: "Isn't this a bit too much?" Many Japanese have lived on Bay Island for two generations, and many Japanese were born on Bay Island, so those who were born on Bay Island are also Bay Island people! ”
Song Shijie immediately said: "I don't agree with this point of view, even the Japanese born on Bay Island are Japanese, and they are also the products of the colonization of the Japanese authorities, what is the purpose of the Japanese colonization?" It is to completely occupy Bay Island and Ryukyu, and they want the Japanese to be born on Bay Island and become Bay Island natives, and I think all Japanese should be sent back to the Japanese mainland! ”
Fan Zhiyong expressed a different opinion, he said: "I don't think you can overturn a boatload of people with one rod, now after all, it is a patrilineal society, a Japanese born in Wandao, if his father is Japanese, he must be sent back to Japan, if his mother is Japanese, and his father is from Wandao, he can stay with his father, and her mother can also stay, you can't break up other people's families, right?" If you are a woman from Japan and you are single and have no relatives on Wan Island, you can choose to stay, but if you have relatives, you must be sent back to Japan with your relatives! ”
"yes, yes, this is good!"
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
Xiao Zhenlei thought about it and finally made a decision: "Okay, since that's the case, then this matter is decided!" In addition, I think that those young Japanese men can be left behind, especially Japanese soldiers, now our country is in the period of large-scale production construction, we need to build railways, roads, and open mountains, all of which require strong labor, why not leave those young Japanese men behind, and then send them back after the construction of our national transportation network is completed? ”
This thing sounds a little ruthless, but these bigwigs in high positions are not good men and women, seeing Xiao Zhenlei say this, they can save a lot of construction funds, why not? So they all agreed.
"There is another thing, this bay island is easy to fight, because it is ours, and it has not been captured by the Japanese for a long time, but the Ryukyus are not so easy to fight, the Japanese are afraid that they are not so willing to return it to us, after all, the Ryukyus used to be only a vassal state of our country, and it has been annexed by Japan for too long, most of those islands are Japanese, and there are very few local residents of the original Ryukyus, what do you think should be done? If we land in the Ryukyus and the Japanese residents strongly oppose it, what should our army do? ”
Someone immediately said: "This matter is simple, recruit a group of obedient and ruthless Japanese soldiers from the surrendered Japanese army on Bay Island, pay them salaries, guns and ammunition, and let them go to the Ryukyus to take the lead, while our army is behind to supervise the formation, this Japanese fight the Japanese, the Japanese massacre the Japanese, the international community can't put the responsibility on our heads, right?" ”
"Clever!" Xiao Zhenlei praised the person who spoke in his heart, and everyone else agreed, and the matter was decided. (To be continued......)
