Chapter 268: Labor

Dr. Carlson was also dumbfounded after reading the information in his hand. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He didn't expect that Qin Shou would have such a piece of information in his hands at all. With this information, the next industrial layout will undoubtedly be much easier, and only the corresponding factories need to be built in these places rich in mineral resources.

"Damn the British, how could they survey these mineral resources so clearly? Why are Chinese still allowed to obtain this information? Why didn't they mine it themselves before the war? "Dr. Carlson, there are a lot of things in my mind that I don't understand. However, he also knows that now is not the time to dwell on these aspects.

"Okay, General Qin. Now that there is information on the distribution of resources in Myanmar, there is no problem. Next, we can discuss where the various factories should be built. Dr. Carlson said.

Although, he was very unhappy with the huge amount of money spent by the U.S. government to help the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army build an industrial system. However, now he could no longer find a reason to shirk it. Although the factories funded by the U.S. government are all small and medium-sized enterprises, there are too many projects, and if you count them all, you will need a lot of money.

It took a whole day for the Minister of Industry, Mr Szeto Keizan, the Minister of Transportation, Mr Liu Fenghua, and Dr. Carlson to discuss the layout of the factories. After discussions between the two sides, the first phase of the U.S. government's industrial assistance program to the Burmese junta includes 156 projects, covering all aspects of industrial development. The total investment amounted to $200 million. This is still the reason why many factories are small and medium-sized factories. If it is a large-scale factory, the investment will need to be multiplied several times.

Qin Shou also knew that it was already very good to be able to get the Americans to help to this point. When these factories are completed, if they want to expand their scale, they will probably have to rely on their own strength. Of course, after the Americans helped them solve the problem, the next situation will be much easier to solve.

"Commander, we have discussed the layout of the factories in the industrial plan. Dr. Carlson has promised that the equipment needed will be shipped from the United States within a month. Now, we need to build the building. At the same time, the construction of transportation facilities must also begin. Situ Jizan reported to Qin Shou.

Although, these days are very busy, which makes this young master very tired. However, he was in very good spirits. In Myanmar, it was as if he had found his own existence. To be able to look at a poor place and gradually build a strong industrial system in his hands is undoubtedly something that he is very proud of.

Qin Shou nodded: "Since there is no problem, let's start!" ”

"Yes, Commander. However, in terms of labor, we still need the military to help us find a way. Situ Jizan continued.

Of course, Qin Shou knew this. If the entire industrial development plan were to be rolled out throughout Myanmar, it would undoubtedly require a large number of laborers. The Chinese population is not large, and they still have to cultivate so much land, so naturally there is not much labor force to join the industrial development. Of course, some core positions must also be taken care of by the Chinese. In this way, you can ensure that the core secrets are not leaked. At the same time, those Burmese natives, because they have no culture, are not qualified for some too important positions.

But even so, the entire industrial development plan needs a huge amount of labor. Fortunately, there are quite a few indigenous people in Myanmar. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army only needs to arrest it.

"Labor problems, don't worry. Within a month, the military will provide you with at least half a million laborers. Within two months, there will be a million laborers at your disposal. Qin Shou assured.

Situ Jizan nodded and didn't say anything more. He also knew what the labor force Qin Shou was talking about was.

After Situ Jizan left, Qin Shou gathered the generals of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army and issued an order to arrest laborers.

There are still 16 million indigenous people in Myanmar as a whole. In addition to those who lived in the mountains, the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army was free to capture local natives at will.

Especially those recruits of the 2nd Army of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, although they have only been in the army for a long time, they have just learned how to shoot. However, there should be no problem in dealing with the indigenous people of Myanmar. When arresting the indigenous people of Myanmar, it is also inevitable to see blood. Let these recruits see the blood, and it is also conducive to their rapid growth into qualified elite soldiers.

After Qin Shou's order was issued, the entire Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army took action. The 1st Army and the 2nd Army of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, a total of 12 infantry divisions and 12 brigades, all went into action. Began to arrest young and middle-aged men on a large scale throughout Myanmar. These people will become the labor force of the industrialization development plan. They will work in factories, mines, or construction sites for the rest of their lives until they are exhausted to death.

Taunggyi, a small town called Pimbai. According to the resource distribution data of Myanmar issued by Qin Shou, there is an iron ore mine with reserves of 63 million tons. So, here the Americans will help the Burmese junta build a medium-sized steel plant with an annual output of about a million tons. This requires a lot of labor to mine iron ore, move iron ore, and so on.

This also made the Burmese people near Pimbai suffer from the seedlings.

A regiment of the 8th Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, with more than 4,000 people, surrounded the entire small city. The wolf-like soldiers searched from house to house, and all the young and middle-aged men in Myanmar were forcibly taken away.

"What are you going to do? Why arrest me? A Burmese man, struggling angrily. In his hand, he was holding a dagger, wanting to resist.

"Bang!"

An officer of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army shot directly. The bullet hit the Burmese man in the head, killing him.

"Take it away, dig a pit and bury it." The officer ordered.

Immediately, the officer said to the other Burmese: "Whoever dares to resist, this is the end!" ”

As a result, the other Burmese people, one by one, were silent, and they did not dare to resist anymore, so they could only cooperate.

The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army captured more than 10,000 qualified laborers in and around Pimpak alone. Of course, this is far from enough. Soon, 20,000 people captured from near Taunggyi will be brought here. They will be forcibly sent to mine iron ore and build factories and roads.

Under the large-scale arrest of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, hundreds of thousands of adult Burmese men were sent to mines and construction sites to contribute to the industrialization of Myanmar.
