Chapter 707: Chongzhen's Great Drought (8)

In addition to Wang and their group, the two groups of members who inspected Hebei and Nanzhili (Jiangsu) were also deeply moved. As modern people, they simply can't accept everything, and many of the committee members are somewhat broken.

After only two days of investigation, several inspection teams left the disaster areas in various parts of Daming and returned to Liaodong one after another. But everyone's hearts still can't be calm, and the miserable scenes have left an indelible impression in their hearts, and everyone's mood is extremely low.

Another day later, the investigation team led by Gao Jianguo also rushed back to Liaodong from Henan. The meeting of the board of directors of the Far Eastern Company was held again, and as soon as the meeting began, an extremely heavy atmosphere was permeated in the conference room.

Wang He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Through the inspection in various places in Daming in the past two days, I think everyone's mood is not very calm. Yes, as long as I think about what I have seen in the past two days, my mood will be very low. I thought it had been a few years since I came to this era, and I thought I knew it very well, but I still had a lot of impact in the past two days. Only by being in the middle of it can you know what the real human tragedy is, and I think you should all feel it deeply by now, so let's talk about your thoughts. ”

Before everyone could express their views, Gao Jianguo waved his hand, and several staff members behind him each held a stack of documents, and then distributed them to the Standing Committee members and members attending the meeting.

"This is a plan that I have been working on with Li Ming and Zhou Billy in Henan in the past few days, please take a look, this is also a proposal submitted by me and Li Ming, mainly in order to deal with the plan that our Military Commission is preparing to implement during the Chongzhen drought. In the past few days of inspection in Daming, you should have seen the tragic situation of the Daming homeless people.

Although I really want to save these displaced people who are struggling on the verge of death. However, with the company's current strength, even if it is mobilized and the company's strategic reserves are taken out, it still cannot save more displaced people. Everyone must know very well that the grain and other materials in the company's various combat warehouses have been collected by us in every possible way from various regions in recent years. It cost the company a lot of financial resources and energy.

What is these grains, our Far East Company's life-saving food in this era, now it is the Xiaoice River period, even if there is no record of the famine in Liaodong in history, but we cannot take it lightly, once we use the strategic reserves, in case there is also a famine in Liaodong, coupled with a large number of Daming displaced people who have poured into Liaodong, the company will definitely fall into an extremely dangerous situation.

The situation is extremely serious. Countless victims in the north of the Ming Dynasty are waiting to be fed, and people are dying every day, and we must not watch countless flesh and blood compatriots starve to death like this when we come to this era. But if we use the company's strategic reserves, we will face the danger of collapse, or even drag the company down alive, and all the efforts we have put in over the years will be in vain.

I think this is also a problem that all the committee members have been worried about, and they don't want to watch the displaced people of the Ming Dynasty starve to death. I don't want the company to be affected and dragged down. So Li Ming and I did some research. With this plan, we all believe that at this critical moment, we at Far East must do something and do everything possible to deal with this crisis. I'm done with that, and if you have any questions about this plan, I'll be there to answer them at any time. ”

After he finished speaking, he took out a cigarette and lit it. Then he slowly pumped it up, quietly waiting for everyone's opinions.

The conference room became unusually quiet, except for the sound of the Standing Committee members and members flipping through the documents, and everyone was looking at the documents intently, and everyone's expressions were on their faces. It's all different.

Gao Jianguo's heart was also quite nervous, and he, Li Ming, and Zhou Billy stayed up for two all-nighters in order to formulate this plan. Although the plan drawn up this time was not at all the same as the proposal he had made at the previous meeting, the member of the committee at the previous meeting made clear his objections, and although the reasons were very ridiculous, no one else expressed his views at that time.

This is very telling, that is, a considerable number of committee members had reservations about the suggestions he put forward at that time, and some even did not say anything about them, but still had a lot of ideas in their hearts.

As time passed, the members and standing committee members in the conference room read the plan. Everyone's expressions were very solemn, and Gao Jianguo didn't see anything from their faces.

Wang He first expressed his opinion, he thought for a while, and then said: "Boss Gao, I have to say that this plan has great operability, but this plan is too huge, and there are too many things involved in all aspects, and your military committee has faced many difficulties in the process of implementing this plan, and it is not easy to coordinate.

Next year, the Central Military Commission will carry out the second phase of the campaign of the plan to go north, and this will inevitably involve most of the energy of your Central Military Commission; if you continue to carry out this plan, your troops and materials will inevitably be stretched thin, and if you do not do it well, you will face a difficult situation on both sides. Although the plan was good, I still felt too risky. ”

Gao Jianguo nodded and said: "This plan was completed by me, Li Ming, and Zhou Billy, who stayed up for two nights, and it was indeed a bit hasty, and many details were very general, and they had not yet been finalized." Because of the urgency of time, we decided to submit the plan to the management committee. Next, our Central Military Commission will further refine the details of the plan and make it as perfect as possible.

As for the second phase of the campaign of next year's plan to go north, Li Ming and I, after studying, decided to change the plan and divide the second phase of the campaign into two years, with the first attack on Guihua and Hetao next year. In this way, it will not affect the formation of the Hetao base area, and we can also use the northern Mongolian cavalry troops under our control to contain the border army of the Ming Dynasty in the border town.

Moreover, most of this plan will be implemented next year, and the only thing that needs to be done this year is the action of Daming and the acceleration of the settlement of Japan and North Korea, and the rest is to prepare for next year's operation. We are confident that the Central Military Commission will carry out this plan, and we also believe that all the officers and men of the Central Military Commission will certainly be able to overcome numerous difficulties and resolutely accomplish their tasks. ”

Qiao Haipeng next to him also nodded and said, "There may still be some flaws in the plan submitted by Lao Gao and Li Ming, but this is also our most operational plan so far." Lao Gao is right, we can't just wait, we must make a difference. The troops of our Central Military Commission are strong and strong, the morale of the officers and men is high, and they are well-trained, and we are confident that we will accomplish any arduous tasks we face. ”

Li Yukun also said: "Let's not talk about whether this plan is feasible, but the first stage of the plan is still very thoughtful. We can do this, this year the Central Military Commission will concentrate all its forces, implement the first phase of the plan, send part of the elite troops into Daming, with the Shanxi guerrilla detachment as the backbone, and form a number of displaced people's armed forces to collect grain in various parts of Daming.

This can temporarily alleviate the current food shortage of the company in Daming. The transportation of grain from Liaodong to Daming not only occupies our precious shipping power, but also invisibly increases the cost and involves a lot of our strength. After all, the troops in Daming can effectively support our homeless gathering points in various places. (To be continued......)
