"Zhang Lingfu has disrupted our plans this time!" Meng Xiang said to Pharmacist Tang with a smile.

The blockade of the devil is sometimes a good isolation belt, when the foundation of the vanguard army is unstable, you can adjust the layout in this isolation area, once the passage with the outside world is opened, all kinds of forces pour in, and then this relationship will be much more complicated.

"He's just hit Yanzhou now, so he's not in a hurry!" Pharmacist Tang sat there and still drank it slowly. It's hard to imagine how he didn't see a trace of weight loss after drinking tea to wash his stomach every day and night.

"Seeing that the Heze area is about to fall into the hands of the 16th Division. It was a foregone conclusion that the First Army would plot west of the canal. With the defeat of the 2nd Army, they will not let go of Liaocheng. In this way, our road to the west is sealed! In Xuzhou in the south, the Central Army will not stay for a long time, and it will definitely retreat. ”

Meng Xiang was silent.

"If the Central Army suddenly retreats, leave us in front. When the time comes, not only will the muzzle of his gun be pointed at us, but I am afraid that the charge of losing the land and the city will be detained on the head of the vanguard army. ”

"Therefore, we must not mix with the Central Army and directly fight the enemy in Xuzhou. Occupy the surrounding land, step by step, and defend steadily. Even if the Central Army withdraws, with the iron bucket array, I will have to think twice. Tang Yaoshi reminded again, "This time, Zhang Lingfu has done the Central Army a favor, and the attention of the 109th and 16th divisions is focused on us. As soon as Yanzhou was captured, Shen Honglie sent congratulatory messages, and it seemed that they were also relieved! ”

He saw that Meng Xiang was still silent, and said: "Just break through to the south to the Linyi area of Zaozhuang, and then block the Longhai line to the south, our pressure will be too great!" The Longhai line is not as good as Jinpu and Jiaoji, and the passage leads directly to the hinterland of the Central Plains. Not for now! ”

Meng Xiang calculated the strength of the devils in the Xuzhou area in his heart, and finally said categorically: "We are entrenched in Shandong, and the devils will not let us go, if we cooperate with the Central Army to annihilate several divisions and regiments this time, we can also reduce the pressure in the future." How many divisions does the devil have in Huaxia? After this battle, they will lose more than us, and they will not be able to afford to delay. When their reinforcements come, the vanguard army will not be what it is now. As for the retreat of the Central Army, the retreat of the Great Army, where is it so easy? A discerning person will know what is going on at a glance. As for losing the land and losing the city, it will be enough to take it back when the time comes! ”

Pharmacist Tang smiled and nodded, he was just in charge of reminding him. He was also happy that Meng Xiang took his own opinion, and such a lord would have a better future for development.

"It's also good to stand firm, occupy a place, and digest a place!" Meng Xiang softened his tone and said, "This time, the things I got from Jiaodong still need to be digested!" ”

This looting of Qingdao and Yantai was really a bumper harvest. All kinds of machinery and materials are piled up.

"All of this needs to be well planned!" Zhou Bai had already laid out a rough plan to digest these materials.

"Then let's call the members of the SAR Committee to discuss it!" Meng Xiang nodded.

Since the establishment of the Special Administrative Region, the body that administers the corresponding affairs of people's livelihood has become the Administrative Committee of the Special Administrative Region.

The chairman is Meng Xiang.

There are nine members of the Standing Committee, namely, Tang Yaoshi who manages government affairs, Fan Chong who manages military-civilian coordination affairs, Zhou Bai who manages economic development, He Siyuan who manages education, Yang Yi who manages finance, Gou Yi who manages public security and police affairs, Li Shuchun who manages people's livelihood affairs, Ma Yi who manages external affairs, and Zhu Yi who manages the construction of special zone projects.

Meng Xiang is planning to combine the functional departments that are familiar to future generations with the specific settings of foreign countries and readjust them, but now the scarcity of talents still needs a process.

Military personnel do not interfere in government affairs, except for Meng Xiang and the coordination of the fan, other active-duty officers are not in office, even if the fan, as long as it is not the design of military relations, he generally does not intervene.

"This time, I brought back a large number of railroad tracks from the Qingdao and Jinpu lines, and I think I can use them to open up the railway from Boshan to Laiwu." Li Shuchun said first. After he came to the vanguard army, he took the initiative to put down the affairs of the army to manage the people's livelihood. With his previous familiarity with the local area, there really wasn't a better fit for him.

The management of people's livelihood is very general, which also involves the part that Zhou Bai and Tang Yaoshi are responsible for, but it is always right to consider the people.

"The investment in that section of the railway is too big!" Zhou Bai first raised objections, even if there were ready-made materials, the construction conditions were poor, and other expenses were high.

"There are too many idle people in the Special Zone, and there needs to be jobs to relieve the pressure on these people." Now that there are more and more migrants in the base areas, this has become a big hidden danger, and people who have fled from outside the country have no land and jobs to make ends meet, and more and more people are idle.

"Our planning department has developed an industrial and commercial plan, which can absorb a large number of manpower." Zhou Bai motioned to the staff to distribute the industrial and commercial planning to everyone, "and it can bring a lot of output value benefits." ”

"Qingdao said that I have the most yarn mills. This time, we have only dismantled more than 4,000 cloth machines from Gongda, Dakang, Fuji and other factories in this book, and we are preparing to set up five cloth factories in the next step. A large number of spindles obtained from the factory also plan to cooperate with local yarn factories such as Chengda, Huaxin, Chengtong, and Renfeng to open six new factories, which requires a lot of labor. ”

"In the next step, we will use a large number of silk machines shipped from Qingdao to expand the development of the silk industry in Zhoucun. It can be increased to an output value of 5 million. ”

"Knitting, lace, hair nets, towels, carpet related industries will also be integrated and expanded in several regions."

"Qingdao's oil extraction machines and factories will also be integrated into the Weixian area, and the next step will be to expand the processing scale of peanut oil! The annual output value of nearly 20 million yuan can not be lost, and the advantage of local flower production will be better in the next step. ”

"The flour machinery in Qingdao, Yantai and other places have also been disassembled, and the next step is to be placed in various regions, and after the expansion of the scale, this piece is expected to recover to the output value of 30 million."

"This time, Yantai Changyu belongs to personal private property and has not been moved, but we have moved the equipment of the breweries and soda factories in Yantai and Qingdao, and in the next step, we plan to build three breweries in Jinan, Tai'an and Qidu, a large-scale beverage factory. Due to the food problem, the development of liquor workshops is temporarily not encouraged, but it is not completely banned, and only the old production process is retained to make a living. ”

Speaking of which, he looked at Meng Xiang, does the Coke from that soda factory plan to follow Coca-Cola?

"The equipment of the cigarette manufacturing plant in Qingdao has also been moved to Weixian, and the next step is to expand the scale of our own cigarette factory."

Mr. Le Rucheng also promised to increase investment in the Taikang brand canning factory in the Special Economic Zone, and use fishery resources to develop canned seafood.

"Mr. Wu Baiheng will also agree to set up a new condensed milk factory in Qidu!" The investment of both of them was the first to inject capital into the Vanguard, and the investment conditions of the Pioneer Army were very favorable, and they did not interfere in management, which made both of them very interested. Of course, they don't know that Meng Xiang has just made up his mind to support national enterprises, and if he invests anyway, he will not lose money, and he can also solve the people's livelihood problems in the Special Economic Zone.

"The machines of Qingdao's saline-alkali plant are also about to be placed in Shouguang and other places to restore the production scale of the saline-alkali industry, and for this alone, we estimate that we can get more than 10 million yuan in salt taxes this year."

"Yantai's Deshunxing Watch Factory will also be relocated to Qidu, and after we inject capital, we will expand the scale of production."

"In the next step of Boshan's ceramic industry, we will inject capital and integrate and develop industrial production, and the output value is expected to exceed five million."

"The glass factory in Qingdao and the glass factory in Jinan will expand the scale of production after the integration of several in Boshan, and strive to exceed one million in output value." The optical technicians promised by the Germans have already arrived, and after accumulating experience and cultivating good talents in the future, they can vigorously develop optical instrument manufacturing.

"Jinan Zhenxing Match Company will resume work, the machine in Qingdao has been moved back, plus the machine from Yue, the scale of production will meet the supply of the Special Economic Zone, and can be exported." As the revitalization match company that used to be the largest match factory in the country, it has declined a little, and Meng Xiang only heard about it from Zhou Bai's mouth, so he decisively injected capital to support it.

"We also negotiated with Mr. Xiang Shenwu of Wuzhou Pharmacy to cooperate with Xinghua Pancreatic Factory in Shandong to build three soap factories." After Xiang Songmao was killed by himself, Wuzhou Pharmacy is still a thorn in his side, as Xiang Songmao's eldest son, Xiang Shenwu is also struggling to maintain the operation of Wuzhou Pharmacy.

For Wuzhou brand soap, Meng Xiang's later generations have never heard of it. It was only when he was paying attention to the development of people's livelihood that Meng Xiang heard Zhou Bai talk about it, and Meng Xiang couldn't bear to watch such a famous Chinese national brand exported to Nanyang and North America fall, and the development of soap was really needed in the base. And with the help of the sales network of Wuzhou Pharmacy, you can also sell part of the drugs in the base.

"The Printing Bureau will cooperate with the Huaxing Paper Mill in Jinan to expand the scale of papermaking and the scale of the Printing Bureau, and the next step will be to exempt all the book fees in compulsory education."

"We will focus on supporting pigment factories and bleaching and dyeing factories in the next step, such as the Great China bleaching and dyeing factory, Jinan Yuxing dye factory, Weixian Yulu dye factory, and Qingdao China and Dahua dye factory have also been relocated to Weixian."

Both the paper mill and the dye factory are heavy polluting enterprises, but in this era, there is still a lot of care about this, and the little production scale is not as good as a township enterprise in later generations.

"Several new coal mines, iron mines and other mines in various places also require 100,000 laborers. The Vanguard Army's enlistment office also plans to recruit 50,000 soldiers. The Laiwu Iron and Steel Plant is under construction, and it also requires a lot of labor. There are already new water conservancy construction plans in various localities, and a lot of labor is also needed. The Vanguard's military farms are also recruiting a large number of people. Overall, if our plan is well implemented, these people can be put to good use. ”

Zhou Bai finished talking about some of the implementation projects in this plan in one breath, but there are some that he has not yet said, such as various machinery factories related to the military industry, and several factories that are ready to be built in contact with the Germans, which will be centrally controlled by the vanguard army.

"It is also necessary to repair the railway to Laiwu, but at this time the funds are still relatively tight, so the construction can only be postponed." Zhou Bai finally added that he also knew that with the construction of the Laiwu Iron and Steel Plant, the railway might be more convenient to build, and in the future, Laiwu steel could be directly transported to those machinery factories in Zichuan and Boshan. Moreover, with the expansion of the Special Economic Zone, the characteristics of Qidu as the center have become more obvious. Originally, it would be more appropriate to take Jinan, where the Jinpu and Jiaoji lines intersect, as the center, but at this time, Jinan's security is not well guaranteed, and Weixian and Laiwu are the same, but Qidu, which has the most strategic space, is the most suitable to become the development center. In this way, a path to the south is also necessary.

The key to this is funding. Meng Xiang supported so many enterprises in one go, although he grabbed a lot of things, most of them had to be filled in.

Li Shuchun also heard this plan for the first time, and knew that the funds and manpower required for this plan were very large, so he did not speak again.

On the contrary, He Siyuan asked: "These factories need a large number of skilled workers, but most of the homeless people are illiterate, and they may be able to exert their efforts, but when they enter the factory, they are not up to the quality of a qualified worker." ”

"Our next step is to set up a special evening school so that people can start to learn literacy and basic knowledge. Generally raise the cultural level of the people in the SAR. Zhou Bai said directly, "I admit that this time may be very long, but we have to improve and change step by step." ”

After a pause, he continued: "In order to solve the problem of the work of those who do not have the skills, we have also launched a plan to clean up the roads in the territory and dredge large and small rivers to prepare for flood control. This plan can absorb a large amount of labor. ”

This plan has indeed been in place for a long time. In several operations of the Vanguard Army, the road became the most troublesome problem. At this time, the roads are all dirt roads, and even if they were repaired last winter, when it rains this summer, they will have to be repaired again. After seeing too many road projects that were demolished and repaired in later generations, Meng Xiang hated this kind of repeated waste the most. After experimenting with the construction capacity of the base that could also be used on roads, he immediately set about asking Zhou Bai to formulate a plan for the construction of the main roads in the Special Administrative Region.

The Army's gradually mechanized vanguard army is much more dependent on roads than devils, and building roads can make it easier for the vanguard army to move and arrange. And at this time, the airspace of the SAR has been controlled by the vanguard army, and with the help of radar, it is not afraid of the attack of devil planes.

Meng Xiang has already done experiments, and 200 mm of nano-fiber concrete is enough to carry the KV-2 heavy tank back and forth. According to the amount of ten square meters in one hour of construction of the secondary base, a 20-meter-wide six-vehicle roadbed only needs 4,000 square meters to lay one kilometer of special concrete pavement, which can be completed in half a month. Other processes can be interspersed.

Originally, the construction of four lanes may be faster, and even for now, it is the most practical, but considering the future development needs, and the construction process arrangement, Meng Xiang finally chose the six-lane main road, and at the critical time, it can also use the road to take off and land aircraft, and even the experiment has been used, and the 20 cm special concrete take-off and landing BF-109 is no problem. Thinking of the eight-lane and twelve-lane in the future, Meng Xiang also planned to reserve a place, so as not to demolish the steakhouse in the future.

"Industry and commerce enrich the people, this plan is good! It's just that the power and power required may be larger, and the construction of power plants needs to be considered in advance. Li Shuchun didn't say anything about this plan, now it is different from Lao Han's time, and some wartime production is mainly based on recovery. It's good that this plan can build on the original. It's just that the electricity and power consumed by the corresponding factories will increase a lot.

There are only a few British and American foreign oil companies in the base area, and due to the blockade of the oil supply, the supply of oil has been greatly reduced. It can only meet the demand for kerosene lamp lighting in the special zone, and now the starting power of each factory is obviously insufficient.

"The power of the steam engine, which is mainly used, can be basically needed with the expansion of coal mine production. Diesel is already powered, and the committee will come forward to coordinate the supply. Or convert to electricity supply. We have started the construction of four high-power power stations in Qidu, Jinan, Laiwu and Weixian to ensure the power supply in various places. In the vicinity of other counties, plans are also underway to build small power stations in areas rich in coal resources. Several water conservancy projects are now being planned, and according to Professor Li, hydropower can be considered in conjunction with flood control and irrigation if conditions permit. Moreover, the power grid of the Special Economic Zone is also under construction, and it is expected that after completion, it can solve the problem of power shortage in the major counties of the Special Economic Zone. ”

"We have relatively advanced power technology, and the next step will be to transition to electrification. We have already talked with Mr. Hu Xiyuan to set up a new light bulb factory in Qidu. Strive for electric light to gradually replace kerosene lamps and candles. ”

This power plan was proposed by Meng Xiang.

After dozens of explorations, although the principle of wireless output of the base power station and other buildings, Meng Xiang has never figured out whether it is microwave or ion. But in a controller inside the power station, Meng Xiang still found a port that could supply wired output. With the help of a blender, power can be exported outward. The power of the secondary power station is 300,000 kilowatts, and when the base is not running at full load, several power stations can have surplus power supply to the outside world.
