Chapter 973: Return to the Loop

The Indochina campaign ended victoriously, and the area under the control of the Far Eastern Company increased by nearly two million square kilometers.

The main reason why the Far East was able to take over the Indochina Peninsula in such a short period of time was actually because the Indochina Peninsula was sparsely populated in this era, and the population of the entire Indochina Peninsula together was only a few million.

The mountainous and jungle areas of the peninsula are generally almost inaccessible, and the vast majority of the population is concentrated in some prosperous areas, namely the banks of the main rivers and estuarine deltas, because these places have abundant water, flat terrain and fertile soil, and are the main food producing areas of the peninsula.

The Far East launched the first phase of the Indochina Peninsula's campaign, launching a sudden offensive with lightning speed, and in less than a month, it occupied the banks of the peninsula's prosperous rivers and estuary deltas, and at the same time destroyed the upper ruling institutions of various countries.

The 200,000 troops of the samurai army were rampant in the Indochina Peninsula, and only a small number of formed troops and civilians fled into the mountains and jungles.

Although many resistance forces were organized in various parts of the peninsula and launched a vigorous anti-aggression war, they were eventually defeated in the sweep battles of the second phase of the Far East campaign because the number of people was too small to form a scale at all.

In modern society, even if the forces of the Far East are increased tenfold, they will not be able to completely occupy Indochina.

Moreover, the daredevils of the samurai group army, well-armed, well-trained, and extremely strong in combat, carried out field battles in various extreme environments in the Indochina Peninsula. And they are so murderous that wherever they go, there will be rivers of blood and corpses all over the field.

The Indochina Peninsula campaign lasted less than half a year, and the Death Army troops caused countless large-scale massacres in various parts of the peninsula, and the natives of the peninsula who dared to resist and had the consciousness of resistance were almost killed.

The situation in various parts of the peninsula is now very stable. The Far Eastern Army's death army, armed police units, and several overseas divisions, with a total of 300,000 people, were stationed in several prosperous areas of the Indochina Peninsula.

As the Far East continues to receive displaced people from the Ming Dynasty, in the next few years, the company will send more than 500,000 immigrants to the Indochina Peninsula every year, and do its best to develop various resources in the Indochina Peninsula.

The Hetao in early spring. There was a busy scene everywhere, and Li Ming jumped off the airship. I saw Hu Wei and Ma Qing walking over with a smile, shaking hands with Li Ming and hugging.

"Li Ming, the battle of the Indochina Peninsula has been fought well, and it has been hard in the past few months."

After listening to Hu Wei's words, Li Ming said ashamedly: "Don't say that, the Battle of Indochina was actually carried out by Fujita personally commanding the Samurai Army, and Lao Gao and I basically didn't do anything. Hetao was so busy with work, I became a deserter as soon as Lao Hu came. Didn't come back until today. ”

Hu Wei said with a smile: "The foundation of the Hetao base area is good, everyone has their own responsibilities, and I have been enjoying the results of everyone's previous work in the past few months." In the most difficult period, it was not you who led everyone to get through it together, and I should be ashamed. ”

Everyone walked and chatted, and came to the Hetao Base Area Management Committee together. It is now early spring, and all aspects of the work of the Hetao have been launched, and a group of people from the management committee have already gone down to the grassroots level in various parts of the Hetao.

The plan to go north and the plan to go west began immediately. Song Tao is currently leading his troops to train on the grassland to make final preparations for the next war. Zhou Lin, Lu Yongren, Lin Jinghua and others are also in grassroots villages. We are organizing everyone to prepare for spring ploughing.

Last year, the Hetao base area received 300,000 new displaced people from the Ming Dynasty, and after several months of winter training, they were resettled in the Hetao area not long ago. At present, all kinds of work in the Hetao area are being carried out in an orderly manner, and intense spring plowing and production will soon be launched.

After more than two years of construction, the current situation of the Hetao base area is good in all aspects, especially after Hu Wei came. On the part of the Ethnic Affairs Committee, Li Ming basically doesn't have to worry about it, and Song Tao and Ma Qing are in charge of the military side, so Li Ming can leave with his hands.

However, Li Yi is still very concerned about the future development of the Hetao base area. After all, this is what Li Yi led everyone to build from scratch. He has a deep affection for this place, and a group of people from the Hetao Base Management Committee were also brought out by Li Ming from the company back then, and in the past two years, everyone has shared weal and woe, starting a business from the Luliangshan base area, and later opening up the wasteland in the Hetao base area together, and the hardships can be imagined.

Now that Li Ming has returned to the Hetao again, he is also very emotional when he sees that the Hetao base area is getting better and better. At present, Li Ming only serves as director of the Northwest Bureau of the Far East Company, Hu Wei takes over as director of the Hetao Base Area Management Committee, and Song Tao serves as commander of the Northwest Field Army.

In order to prepare for the two major battles that were about to be launched, the Central Military Commission set up the Northwest Theater Command, with Li Yi as commander, political commissar Ma Qing, deputy commander Song Tao, and chief of staff Shang Ming.

However, the command of the two battles will be handed over to Song Tao, and Ma Qing, Wang Yaowu and Gao Qiang will assist Song Tao to jointly complete the two major battles in the north this year. Li Ming will return to Shenyang next year, and will work with Wang He and Gao Jianguo to focus on all aspects of the company's management.

Li Ming has a heavy burden on his body, and he will be the core of the future leadership of the Far East, and of course he cannot be in the northwest all the year round. At present, the Far East has entered a period of rapid development, and many of the company's work will be put on the agenda starting next year.

In this critical period of development, Li Ming will of course have to take on more management work and make positive preparations for him to take charge of the Far East in the future. In the past two years, he has led everyone to work hard under extremely difficult circumstances in the northwest, and the achievements are obvious to all.

Originally, Li Ming wanted to work in the northwest for another two years, but Wang He, Gao Jianguo and others had a long talk with him, and the meaning was very clear, that is, Li Ming should stand in the foreground now.

However, many employees of the company still see some clues from the staffing in the northwest region. The candidate for Li Ming's team in the future must be Hu Wei, the ability of workaholics, and the company knows everything. In addition, Zhou Lin and Ma Qing will definitely have a place in the company, whether it is work ability or work attitude, they are the best in the company.

And Song Tao is in charge of the Northwest Army, everyone is not surprised, and the relationship between him and Li Ming goes without saying. In the future, the Central Military Commission will be the most powerful supporter of Li Ming's current leadership collective, so Song Tao, Lin Hua, Zhou Cheng, Ding Weiguo, and others will certainly have a place in the Central Military Commission. In addition, Zhou Billy, the head of the secret service of the Ministry of Intelligence, and several members of the Standing Committee who have always supported Li Ming, basically constitute the prototype of the future leadership collective.

In fact, the most important point is that these people are generally young, and a few years later they will be in the year of fighting, and they can consistently implement and continue the phalanx policies of the Far East Company in the future, so as to maintain the stability of the company to the greatest extent. (To be continued.) )
