"Yunhua, how have you been in Yan'an these days, and what is the difference between Yan'an and Guisui?" It was surprising that the "chairman" did not comment on Han Yunhua's question, but asked about Han Yunhua's feelings in Yan'an.

Han Yunhua also knows the contradiction in the heart of the "chairman" now, although the Soviet Union has not given much actual support now, the Soviet Union can give the national "government" more than a dozen Soviet infantry divisions of equipment, and even let the national "government" use these infantry divisions equipped with Soviet equipment to besiege the Soviet area. Danshi** must not turn his face with the CPSU now, the consequences of doing so are very serious, after all, the CPSU is a tiger skin banner for ** now. Although there is no substantial benefit to having the protection of the Tiger Skin DA Banner of LE, Danshi can make the enemies on the surface have some scruples, and if Danshi loses the Tiger Skin DA Banner of LE, the environment outside China will suddenly become very bad.

Knowing this, Han Yunhua didn't ask too much, after all, some things only need to be clicked lightly, and it is not beautiful to say more.

"Hehehe, a good place in Yan'an City" Han Yunhua was about to say some high-sounding words to fool him, after all, in addition to the good spiritual outlook of the people in Yan'an, whether it is the natural environment or the people's living standards, there is no comparison with the people of Guisui.

"To tell the truth, you kid dare to fool me, tomorrow I will transfer you back to Yan'an to take classes in the anti-DA, anyway, the party's call for you to go back to Yan'an is not low." "Chairman" cryptically said some high-level secrets.

Han Yunhua was shocked, but Danshi didn't show any expression on his face, and still said with a smile: "Hehe, then I really mean le?" ”

"Say it! I also want to hear what you military cadres who often fight on the front line have to say about Yan'an, and what you hear from your lips is the most true. "Chairman" said with emotion.

"Yan'an is generally not bad, Danshi still has some problems, which can be summed up in one sentence: lack of material life, spiritual life is fulfilling."

"How?"

That is to say, the spiritual outlook of Yan'an is very good, whether it is the people in the city or the army are full of vitality, people are easily infected here, there is hope here, it can be said that Yan'an is the fire of the Chinese revolution. The living standards of the people of Danshi Yan'an are really poor, not a little worse than those of Guisui, and even the living standards of the people in some of the occupied areas cannot catch up. Han Yunhua told the truth, and told the 'chairman' everything he saw and xiangdao.

The "chairman" paused for a while before saying: "You are very right, the current situation in Yan'an is exactly what you said, the reality of Danshi is like this, the troops are not even enough military rations, where do the people in the rear of our da go to improve their living standards." Since it is not possible to improve the living standards of the common people, then it is only possible to raise the standard of their spiritual life. There's no way around it! ”

Han Yunhua knew that the "chairman" was telling the truth, and the material life in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area during the Anti-Japanese War was very difficult. The border area is originally a barren place, with harsh natural conditions, mainly planting crops such as miscellaneous grains with a relatively short growing season and strong drought tolerance, and the yield is very low, and the people's food is mainly millet and other miscellaneous grains; Animal husbandry is mainly sheep raising, and clothing mainly relies on homespun cloth and fur. Since ancient times, this has been a place that can barely be self-sufficient, and in the event of a natural disaster, people here can only leave their homes, so this has always been one of the sources of several DA for the outbreak of peasant uprisings, like Li Zicheng and others in the late Ming Dynasty were born here.

Secondly, the reality of the situation has aggravated the poverty level in the Yan'an area, since the Red Army reached the border area after climbing the snow-capped mountains and crossing the grasslands, and the foreign personnel of the DA batch came to the border area, all the consumption of the troops had to be supported by the people in the border area. At the same time, after the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression entered the phase of stalemate, the army adopted the economic policy of the border area and suspended the military salary of the Eighth Route Army, and all foreign aid in the border area was almost completely cut off, and necessities such as cotton and cloth were prohibited from flowing in, resulting in difficulties in eating and dressing in the border area.

However, these are not necessarily overcome, let alone changed, Han Yunhua thought about it and said: "'Chairman', during this time I have been observing and visiting Yan'an for a long time, and I have seen some good places and some bad phenomena, and the phenomenon of 'clothing is divided into three classes and food is divided into five grades' in our army, which has caused dissatisfaction among the intellectuals and the people, but the root cause of all this lies in the underdeveloped economy and lack of materials in the border areas. As long as we solve this problem, everything else can be solved, and the rich spiritual life in our border area can also be preserved or carried forward, so that Yan'an can truly become a holy place for our members. ”,

Speaking of which, Han Yunhua Xiangdaole saw the full spiritual outlook of the people of Yan'an a few days ago, although the material life in the border area is difficult, the spiritual life is rich. Weekend evenings, new Yangge sports, dance parties and sports, a variety of amateur entertainment activities to meet the spiritual needs of people of different levels and hobbies. On weekends, there are those who attend the party, those who dance, those who sing Peking Opera, and those who sing Pingju. From the perspective of social life, the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region during the Anti-Japanese War was a relatively open society.

"It's not easy to talk about, the economic development situation in the border area is very worrying, we have discussed many times, and we have found a lot of experts who have made great achievements in the economy, but Danshi has not found a solution, so the next words "chairman" did not go on, but Danshi Han Yunhua knew what "chairman" meant.

Han Yunhua also knows that it is indeed not easy for these leaders in this era, not to mention the "Mao" and "Chairman" on the other side, and even Chairman Chiang, who has always been wealthy, is at a loss in terms of economy. If the national government's fiscal revenue is calculated at the budget revenue of 1 billion yuan per year, the war expenditure alone will be twice the total fiscal revenue. In fact, the national government's fiscal revenue did not reach the budgeted figures, and between 1938 and 1941, the annual fiscal revenue was only about 400 million yuan, which was only 40% of the 1 billion yuan budget in 1937. Before the war, the affluent eastern regions were the main source of revenue for the national government. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, this area fell quickly, which caused the fiscal revenue of the national "government" to decrease rapidly, and the average monthly fiscal revenue from August to December 1937 was only 16 million yuan, which was one and a half years less than before the July 7 Incident; In the first two years of the Anti-Japanese War, the annual fiscal expenditure of the national "government" had increased to more than 1 billion yuan, and "the fiscal expenditure in the second half of 1937 and the year and a half of 1938 increased rapidly to 321.9 billion yuan, which offset the fiscal revenue of 71.6 billion yuan in this period, and the deficit was 251.2 billion yuan". Even the national 'government' is in such a situation, let alone the border region 'government' with only a few dozen counties, and it is no wonder that the "chairman" does not believe that Han Yunhua is capable of solving the difficulties encountered by the border region 'government'.

Xiangdao Here Han Yunhua suddenly realized that the "chairman" did not answer the reason for his previous question, and the "chairman" told himself that if these problems were not solved, it would not be possible to solve the problems he raised at all, after all, the superstructure is based on the economy. On the other hand, if you solve these problems yourself, then the next thing will be solved. Han Yunhua suddenly appreciated the clever skills of politicians in this era, and people didn't answer those sensitive questions directly at all, but just told you from the side that I didn't want to do it but couldn't do it, and if I did it, something would happen. Han Yunhua secretly smiled bitterly, 'Chairman' is 'Chairman', such a clever method is not something that he can learn.

In fact, the root cause of these problems is the problem of economic development, and the root cause of economic development is the problem of materials. If it is still a little difficult to isolate others, everything will no longer be an unsolvable problem when Danshi puts it on Han Yunhua.

"'Chairman', I also know what you said, and in my opinion, all this is not impossible to solve, now the people have opinions on the 'government' in the border area, most of the reasons are because of borrowing grain, as long as we solve the matter of LE, the border area will solve the matter of one and a half DA, you can leave this matter to me, in addition, I will also give you an outline of the economic construction of the border area, but all this needs your support 'Chairman'!" Han Yunhua said.

Seeing Han Yunhua say so firmly, the "chairman" also began to be moved, after all, Han Yunhua's record is there, it is a person who is used to creating miracles and likes to move from victory to greater victory, everything is possible in him.

"Tell me what you think, as long as it's good, I'll support it!"

"I hope to launch a DA production movement in the name of the central government, and do it myself, the reason why our internal military region can develop in such a short period of time is this, the regular troops of our military region are not engaged in agricultural production, and the garrison troops in the rear of Danshi have their own fields, and the grain produced every year is enough for the military district troops to consume for a year, and they can also support some brother troops. So we rarely levy taxes on the people in the jurisdiction, so we quickly get the trust and support of the people, just now our military region recruited 220,000 recruits, these recruits except for less than 20,000 wounded and rehabilitated and rebuilt, most of the rest are peasant children, this time we didn't even use the tens of thousands of prisoners captured, directly recruited from the peasant children, 200,000 DA army only took less than two months to collect Qi le, This would not have been possible without the heartfelt support of the people. Han Yunhua was very surprised by what he said, he knew that the Inner *** Military Region was very trusted by the local people in Saibei, but Danshi did not believe it to such an extent. ,

"DA Production Movement! Danshi: Most of our troops are now on the front line, and not many are left behind. Besides, during this period of time, our old friend Chairman Jiang was very dishonest, and Gu Zhutong in southern Anhui had constant friction with Comrade Ye Ting. "Chairman" said.

"It's okay, now that the 1st Field Division of our Military Region in Shandong has begun to divide small troops to develop in northern Jiangsu and eastern Henan, with them on the side to respond, I think Lao Jiang will not dare to move his mind although 'chaos', and when the time comes, let the 1st Field Division fight a few beautiful DA victories over there, then neither the little devils nor the national 'government' will dare to 'mess' move. As for the security of the "government" in the border areas, it is not a problem, and with the mechanized troops of our military region, they can rush to Yan'an in a day and a half at most, and I think that although Chairman Chiang's command level is only a little as that of an infantry battalion commander, Danshi is not unclear about the current situation of the national "government." As for sending that unit to farm the land, I can do whatever I want, and when the time comes, I can set up a production DA battle headquarters in Yan'an, and send the 359 Brigade and two infantry brigades of our military region to participate in it, with Comrade Wang Zhen as the commander to carry out the production DA battle. ”

"That's fine, but you still need land for farming, as well as seed tools and cattle, and I'm afraid it's difficult for the 'government' in the border area to come up with so many things to support this battle. Besides, it is also unknown whether Wang Zhen is willing or not, after all, it is normal for you to let the brigade commander of a regular brigade take some people to farm the land. "The 'chairman' is very thoughtful and knows very well what is at stake.

"These things are not a problem, Comrade Wang Zhen is an old comrade of our party and our army, his revolutionary will is firm, his ideological consciousness is very high, and he will definitely agree. In addition, I found that the depression of Nanniwan is very suitable for land reclamation, as long as our manpower is in full swing, it will become a piece of Jiangnan outside the Saiwai River that everyone envies in two years at most, and the military rations needed by our army will no longer be as scarce as they are now, and the army will also have the motivation and reliance for development. ”

Although food is not the most important factor and condition for the development of the troops, danshi food is the most important thing related to the decisive victory of the front and the stability of the rear. Before 1939, grain prices were relatively stable in the rear of the DA due to two consecutive bumper grain harvests in 1937 and 1938. However, from the end of 1939, due to the expansion of the war zone and the concentration of troops, a large number of refugees from the war zone moved into the rear, and the population of the rear increased sharply, and the demand for food surged. Food prices are rising rapidly. In the first half of 1937, the price of rice in Chongqing was 1.32 yuan per city bucket, and by March 1940 it had risen to 41.87 yuan per city bucket, an increase of 31 times. At this time, the army in the Kuomintang had expanded to about 4 million, and with the internal migration of 50 million, food supply became the first priority of the "government", and the annual military food demand for the front alone reached 75 million stones. At that time, the "government" had less than half of the food in its hands. As a result, grain prices have skyrocketed, and some cities have even seen a rush for rice.

And some of the situations that Han Yunhua has seen in Yan'an in the past few days also make Han Yunhua have a strong sense of the times about the social life in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region, and the "millet plus rifle" not only reflects the characteristics of the Chinese revolution during the Anti-Japanese War, but also reflects the characteristics of the social life in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region. The border areas are dominated by cereal crops, and not only millet is the main source of food, but also millet is the main source of allowances and price calculations, and millet plays the role of a "general equivalent" in the border areas. Therefore, food is extremely important to the whole of China, so if the army wants to develop, it must have food, otherwise everything will be in vain.

"Well, that's good, let's do it, and I'll have a lot of support from your military region when the time comes, the 'government' of the border region is now yijing when the lamp runs out." The "chairman" felt that Han Yunhua's plan was very feasible, so he decided to adopt Han Yunhua's suggestion at the same time.

"'Chairman', how do you think the international situation will change in the future, and how should we deal with it?" Han Yunhua continued to ask along the topic at the beginning, this is the most important thing he wants to solve when he returns to Yan'an this time.

The "chairman" looked at Han Yunhua and said: "I think there will be a war between the Soviet Union and Germany, and there will be a war between the United States and Japan, and finally there will be a war between the Soviet Union and Japan, what do you think?" ”

Han Yunhua was suddenly taken aback by the judgment of the "chairman", if he hadn't known that the great man in front of him was a living person, he would even want to go over and ask: "Hey! Dude, you're here too? ”

Just because the judgment of the "chairman" is too accurate, the war between the Soviet Union and Germany is unquestionable, as long as anyone with a little strategic vision can see it, and the war between the United States and Japan is very unclear, and now the movement of the Japanese army is very confusing, some people think that it is possible to go north with Germany to attack the Soviet Union, some think that *** will directly attack Australia, and few people think that *** will attack the United States. As for the war between *** and the Soviet Union, it is indeed surprising that "Chairman" Danshi foresaw a series of changes after LE based on the changes in the current international situation. ,

Until now, Han Yunhua's "chairman" only had a little preliminary idea, and there were still many places in the actual content of Danshi, and he himself was not sure about the direction. So Han Yunhua said calmly: "I have a similar judgment with you, I judge that the war between the Soviet Union and Germany will break out soon, the war between the United States and Japan will break out even before the Soviet-German war, and the war between the Soviet Union and Japan will be much later, and it will probably break out when the Shijie anti-fascist war is about to be won." ”

The "Chairman" looked at Han Yunhua in surprise, and then asked, "Do you believe that this war will be our victory, not the seemingly strong Germany, Italy, and Japan and their client states." ”

"Well, I have always believed that we will achieve the final victory, I have always believed that all the peace-loving people on Shijie will finally defeat those evil empires that are held hostage by the devil, and I believe that our Chinese *** will lead the entire Chinese nation to victory, and the entire ancient Chinese empire will be red, I firmly believe!" Han Yunhua said very firmly and piously.

The "chairman" was very excited, Han Yunhua's strategic vision was famous, even he thought so, and even had his own judgment on the specific time, and his own ideas were always correct. He looked at Han Yunhua with complicated eyes, and then asked very seriously, "Are you sure?" ”

"I'm sure and sure!" Han Yunhua replied with a firm expression, his expression and tone did not allow anyone to doubt.

"And what are you going to do?" "Chairman" asked Le the most important sentence of their meeting tonight.
