Of course, the security aspect is handed over to Liang Jian's father and son. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On the one hand, there is no need to worry about this, on the one hand, because the security team formed by Liangjian has played a role, and on the other hand, the grain from Rabaul has been distributed to the people in batches...... There is a saying that "the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people", the people only have enough to eat and are about to starve to death will they have a sense of non-responsibility, such as robbery, theft, and even murder, etc., a considerable part of the reason is because there is not enough living materials or there is a sense of crisis in the current heart, worried that they will be hungry in the near future, so they become traitors.

When the people of Okinawa saw that several oil tankers more than 100 meters long were transporting tens of thousands of tons of grain at a time, they were quickly relieved...... For them at this time, it is better to be able to eat a full stomach and not starve to death than anything else, and they have no other requirements, and naturally they will not risk confronting the guns in the hands of the security team to commit crimes, in fact, at this time, crime has become unnecessary.

Infrastructure ...... Zhang Chi handed it over to Stilwell.

Yes, it was Stilwell and his 10th Army.

After all, Okinawa is still the United States, and the plan of the United States is to turn it into a former sea and air base to besiege and blockade the Japanese mainland...... In this case, of course, it is necessary to build airports and ports, and at the same time, in order to be able to transport and store supplies to Okinawa, it is natural to build roads and railways.

(Note: Okinawa originally had a railway, but it was very short, only 50 kilometers long, and it was a 60-centimeter-wide narrow-gauge railway, connecting Naha, Kamakura, Tachiko, and Nahara Town, and there were two branch lines from Kamakura to Kadena and Tachiko to Itoman City, which were built by the Japanese army to transport agricultural products.)

It's just that the U.S. military is more concerned about military facilities and has little interest in civilian airports and ports...... This is also normal, including Stilwell, who is only thinking about how to blockade the Japanese mainland and then successfully get out of this quagmire.

So Zhang Chi found a time to talk to Stilwell about this topic.

"General!" Zhang Chi said to Stilwell: "I heard that you have a considerable understanding of Chinese culture, I wonder if you know about the tuntian system?" ”

"Tuntian system?" Stilwell clearly didn't understand this depth.

"Yes!" Zhang Chi replied: "That should be more than 2,000 years ago in China, when Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty set up four counties of Jiuquan, Wuwei, Zhangye and Dunhuang in the distant Hexi, but at this time there was a problem...... The supply lines are too long, you know, in ancient times there were no planes, no cars and trains, and transportation was entirely by manpower or horse-drawn carriages, so there was a situation where you had to eat several bags of food on the way to transport a bag of grain! ”

"Uh-huh!" Stilwell showed interest when he heard this, after all, this is related to the military, and professional soldiers always have an inexplicable sensitivity to the military.

"So this emperor ...... Is he solving this problem? Stilwell asked.

"This is what I want to call the tuntian system!" Zhang Chi said: "The so-called tuntian system is to let the soldiers stationed in the distant frontier farm their own fields, and the grain grown is used as military food. This soon eliminated the need to transport grain to these frontiers, and further cemented the Emperor's dominance in these regions! ”

"Consolidated the Emperor's dominance?" Hearing this, Stilwell couldn't help but look at Zhang Chi suspiciously: "Is there anything to do with the two?" ”

"Of course it does!" Zhang Chi replied: "The soldiers also taught the locals how to farm while farming in the local area, which greatly improved the productivity of the local people, and the people's lives became better, so they naturally supported the rule of the Han Dynasty emperor instead of other emperors, and they even fought against foreign enemies together with the Han Dynasty emperor!" ”

"Oh!" Hearing this, Stilwell couldn't help but suddenly realize.

After thinking about it, Stilwell nodded slightly and said, "Zhang, are you telling me...... We can also use the Tunda system in Okinawa! ”

"Why not?" "Okinawa is very far away from the United States, and although we don't need to rely on horse-drawn carts to transport food, even the 'free wheel' is a scarce resource in wartime," Zhang said. If we can develop the economy and restore production, we will not only allow them to feed themselves and save us a lot of burdens, but will also establish in their minds a good image of the Sino-US coalition forces...... It can be said that it can be counted in one fell swoop, so why not? ”

"It's a great idea!" Stilwell nodded, "But aren't you doing that?" ”

Stilwell was referring to the Chinese army's organization of the people of Okinawa to open up the wasteland and cultivate the land.

"No, no...... That's not enough! Zhang Chi replied: "The land of Okinawa is simply not enough to feed so many people!" This tuntian system...... In ancient times, it could be said that farming should be turned to industrial manufacturing and the creation of labor in modern times, isn't it? ”

"You mean to say...... Investing in Okinawa? ”

"Yes!" "That's why I'm planning to move the factory in Tohoku to Okinawa, so that I can make use of the Okinawan people who have nothing to do, which is hundreds of thousands of people, and they can support themselves through labor," Zhang said. But here's the problem...... The products they produce need to be shipped out and sold to Australians, Filipinos, and even Americans! ”

"Hmm!" Stilwell, an American, certainly knows the significance of Zhang's statement: "Of course, the people of Okinawa don't ask for too high a salary, so the labor cost is very low, which will greatly reduce the cost of the product...... That is, there is a high profit! ”

"Yes!" Zhang Chi said: "It can not only solve the employment problem but also create high profits, and kill two birds with one stone!" ”

"I know how to do it!" Stilwell glanced at Zhang Chi appreciatively and said, "Zhang, I didn't expect you to be not only good at fighting wars, but also good at managing and developing the economy!" ”

Zhang Chi smiled a little embarrassedly, Zhang Chi knew that in fact, he was not good at developing the economy, he just had more knowledge and experience to copy.

Stilwell soon ordered a large-scale restoration and renovation of the port of Naha and the port of Sha'an, which had been almost bombed into ruins during the battle and became unusable (Note: The port of Naha was used as a military port for warships, while the port of Naha and the port of Sha'an were used as civilian ports for berthing ships of 3,000 tons). ）

Even Stilwell used his connections in the United States to mobilize American capitalists to invest in Okinawa...... In fact, this can also be regarded as mutual benefit, as long as you can make money and have investment prospects, you can naturally attract the attention of capitalists.
