Chapter 230: Food Crisis (Asking for Subscriptions, Monthly Passes, and Various!! ）

September is the season of melons and fruits, and it is also the season of harvest.

However, compared with previous years, the people in the northern part of the country can obviously rarely experience the joy of harvest this year. Due to the successive attacks of the Japanese puppet army, nearly half of the land in the northern part of the country missed the opportunity to sow seeds, thus becoming a wasteland.

A small part of the land is barren, while the population of the northern part of the region has nearly doubled compared to previous years, which has made the food in the northern part of the region increasingly strained. The most important thing is that this year is not a bumper harvest year, even in the rich Guanzhong Plain, this year's harvest is not good, and the shortage of food has made the General Headquarters of the 40th Army and the Chahar Provincial Government extremely worried.

In order to strengthen the control of the Suiyuan area, and also to build the Baotou heavy industry base, the Chahar Provincial Government decided to relocate the Chahar Provincial Government from Xinghe to Guisui, and at the same time Chen Feng divided the existing territory. In addition to the original three administrative regions, the Chahar Provincial Government has added three more administrative regions, namely the Chabei Administrative Region, the Suixi Administrative Region, and the Guisui Special Administrative Region.

The administrative center of Chabei is located in Xilinhot City, and has jurisdiction over the following flags: Abaga Banner, Sunit Right Banner, Sunit Left Banner, Erenhot, Taifusi Banner, Yellow Flag, Zhengbai Flag, Zhenglan Banner, Duolun, and Siziwang Banner.

The administrative center of Suixi is located in Baotou, and has jurisdiction over Damao Banner, Guyang County, Tumut Right Banner (Salaqi), Jungar Banner, and Dalat Banner.

The administrative center of the Guisui Special Administrative Region is located in Guisui and has jurisdiction over Wuchuan County, Tuoketuo County, Tumut Zuoqi (Chasuqi), Helinger County, and Qingshuihe County.

At the same time, Chen Feng also adjusted the garrisons in various regions. The Seventh Independent Division is still stationed in the Chanan Administrative Region, and Xu Hu is still the highest military and political chief of the administrative region, responsible for all military and political affairs in the jurisdiction. However, in view of the fact that the border between the Chanan Administrative Region and the Japanese army was too long, it was difficult for the independent Seventh Division alone to deal with the attack of the Japanese puppet army, so Chen Feng assigned Shi Jianfei's instructor to the battle sequence of the Chanan Administrative Region, and Shi Jianfei was also appointed by Chen Feng as the deputy governor of the Chanan Administrative Region. At the same time, the mountain artillery division was transferred to Zhangjiakou and accepted the command of Xu Hu.

The 101st Division is still stationed in the Yanbei Administrative Region, and Li Wensheng is still the highest military and political commander in the Yanbei Administrative Region. In order to strengthen the artillery capability of the Yanbei region, Chen Feng deliberately transferred the mountain artillery division to Datong and placed it under the command of the Yanbei Administrative Region.

The 222nd Division was still stationed in the Suidong Administrative Region. Li Yifeng is still the highest military and political governor of the Suidong Administrative Region.

The cavalry group and the Mongolian National Salvation Army were stationed in the Chabei Administrative Region. Andrei is the highest military and political chief of the Chabei Administrative Region, in charge of all military and political affairs in Chabei.

The 10th Division was temporarily stationed in the Suixi Administrative Region, and Zhang Jingjun served as the highest military and political commander. In order to strengthen the air defense capability in the Baotou area, Chen Feng specially ordered the provisional 10th Division to form an antiaircraft machine gun regiment.

Garrison divisions, heavy artillery divisions, air defense divisions, armored divisions, aviation divisions and other units are stationed in Guisui. The Guisui Special Administrative Region does not have a supreme military and political chief. Government affairs are handled by the Chahar Provincial Government. Military affairs were handled by the General Headquarters of the 40th Army.

Gui Sui. Headquarters of the Fortieth Army.

Reports

"Come in!"

"Boss, Minister Hua has something to report to you, do you want to meet you!" The security guard and secretary came in and said.

Chen Feng closed the document in his hand. He raised his head and said, "Let Minister Hua come in!" ”

"Yes"

Hua Rong strode in from the outside, walked to Chen Feng's desk, saluted and said, "Good seat!" ”

"Hehehe, sit down!"

"Thank you!"

"How's it going, how is your intelligence unit doing now?" Chen Feng asked with a smile.

"Back to the general seat, the development speed of our intelligence department is still very good, although the radiation is only limited to North China, but the intelligence gathering ability is not weak. In addition, two divisions of the armed engineering team and the internal security team have been added, and the strength has been greatly increased. Hua Dajia said a little nervously.

Chen Feng thought for a while and said, "Your intelligence department is the eyes and ears of our entire group army, and there must be no mistakes. In addition, the strength of your military engineering team must be strengthened, and in the future, you will be the most important link in the enemy-occupied areas to carry out work. ”

"Yes, now we have a total of two armed work brigades, each with 2,000 people, and three squadrons under its jurisdiction. Basically, it meets the needs of the intelligence services, but it still lacks the strength to carry out its work in enemy-occupied areas on a large scale. "Flower Bigfoot.

Then Hua Rong said: "General, I came this time to report to you three things, the first is about grain, due to the continuous attack of the Japanese puppet army, a small half of the land in the Chahar area has missed the sowing time, but the land is barren, and a large number of people have poured into our jurisdiction this year, so now the price of grain in the defense area is rising rapidly, this month has risen nearly 1 times compared with half a year ago." ”

"Is there enough food for the troops?" Chen Feng asked.

"The military rations are still enough, there is still a small half of the grain that you and the old man hoarded in Daqingshan, and in addition, our army grabbed back more than 100,000 tons of grain after capturing Tianjin, at least our army will not be short of food within a year." Flower Foot replied.

Chen Feng secretly thought to himself, more than 100,000 tons of grain is about 300 million catties, and now the 40 th Group Army has more than 300,000 regular troops alone, and according to the calculation of one soldier a pound of grain a day, the troops alone need to consume more than 300,000 catties of grain a day, and they will have to consume about 100 million catties of grain a year.

However, this is only the consumption of troops, and now there are still a large number of administrative personnel and teachers in the defense area under the jurisdiction of the Chahar Provincial Government, and the number of these people is also tens of thousands, and the annual consumption of grain is at least tens of millions of catties, and the food hoarded by the troops is only enough for two years at most, and this premise is that the 40th Group Army will not be expanded.

After thinking about it, Chen Feng frowned and said: "Grain is the foundation of the stability of the defense area, you go and discuss with Minister Sui Jinguang, and ask him to put a batch of grain on the market as soon as possible, first put 100 million catties, and let the price of grain slow down first." In addition, your intelligence department should also do a good job of monitoring and guarding against unscrupulous profiteers from taking advantage of the opportunity to buy military rations at low prices. ”

"Boss, our own military rations are not very rich, is it a bit inappropriate to release so much at once?" Flower Foot asked.

"There's nothing wrong with that, if we don't intervene, food prices will skyrocket everywhere, and it's the people who will suffer. In addition, if the price of grain rises too fast, it will lead to more and more people not being able to eat, and the consequence is that the people will become more and more disappointed with us, and various illegal and criminal things such as cheating, abduction, and stealing will also emerge in an endless stream, and the society will become more and more chaotic. Chen Feng said.

"Okay then, I'll go and discuss with Minister Sui later."

Then Hua Dajia said: "The second thing is related to Chief Yan, a few days ago, our intelligence department received news that the movements of various units in the Second War Zone were strange, especially the Sixth Army, which took the initiative to retreat 10 kilometers. In addition, our intelligence officers also saw the Japanese in the Yan family compound, and the actions were very strange. ”

"Is the message reliable?" Chen Feng asked with a frown.

"Absolutely reliable!" Hua Dajia said in a deep voice.

"Hmph, it seems that Yan Laoxi is still daydreaming of compromising with the little devil, and there are no eggs under the nest, why can't the old man understand such a simple truth." Chen Feng said with a frown.

"So what are we going to do?"

"Let Li Zong's special operations squadron take action, kill the little devils who went to the Yan family's compound, and notify the logistics department to suspend the arms transaction with the Jin Suijun, it just so happens that this old man wants to take Suiyuan back from us several times, so let's teach this old man a lesson." Chen Feng said.

"Yes"

"The third thing about the penicillin trade is that a few days ago we captured two Japanese spies in Zhangjiakou and found two boxes of amoxicillin and two vials of injections and a large hanging bottle from them. After interrogation, the two Japanese spies were intelligence officers from the periphery of Japan's special high-tech department, both transferred from the northeast region, and those two people were originally Chinese. Their main purpose in Zhangjiakou was to obtain samples of the penicillin drug for study. And all the drugs were obtained from a public hospital in Zhangjiakou. "Flower Bigfoot.

"How did they get it, did they go in and steal it themselves, or did someone trade drugs with them?" Chen Feng asked in a deep voice.

"It was someone who traded with them, and it was a doctor from the Zhangjiakou No. 1 Public Hospital who took out the hospital's medicines and traded them with the Japanese, and according to those spies, this is the third time."

"Don't we have a strict system, how could we let that doctor take advantage of the loophole?" In order to improve the medical level of the Chahar area, after various preparations by the Ministry of Propaganda and Education, a total of 7 hospitals have been built in the Chahar area in the past few months, including 2 in Zhangjiakou, one in Datong, Jining, Xinghe, Weixian, and Siziwangqi.

In order to strictly control the drugs and prevent some people from making profits, the Ministry of Propaganda and Education specially formulated strict regulations, the most important one is that all drugs must be registered, and detailed instructions must be written when using them for inspection. And all the medicines must be used in the hospital, and there are militias around the hospital 24 hours a day, but I didn't expect the drugs to flow out in the end.

"Junza, after the two spies were arrested, the doctor was also caught by us, according to his confession, he only used half of the amount of medicine to the patient each time when he prescribed medicine, and then embezzled the remaining half, and smuggled delicious medicines home after work every day, and accumulated a lot of medicines over time." Flower Footfoot.

"Hmph, what a talent, but don't use this cleverness in good ways. Such people must be dealt with strictly, and all the bastards involved in the case must be brought to trial by military courts. At the same time, I said hello to Minister Wang of the Ministry of Missions and asked her to immediately check the use of drugs in all hospitals in case something similar happens, and deal with it as soon as it is found. ”

"Yes"
