At present, the population of the entire North Manchurian base area is also allocated and used according to a strict plan. From there, the people can be mobilized to work in the factory, and there are strict standards for how much to mobilize. Even if it is the secretary of a provincial party committee or the chairman of a provincial government, the number of people mobilized from the countryside to move to the city should not exceed 1,000. To mobilize more than 1,000 people, it must be approved by the office meeting of the chairman of the Northeast People's Government.

Faced with the situation that the plan must be strictly implemented even in that aspect of the use of the population, Yang Zhen, the initiator of this method, often ridicules himself, saying that this is the most thoroughly planned economy in the world. The little thing that the Soviets engaged in was much worse than the planned economy of the Anti-Japanese Union, which even planned the population.

The system of strict planning and distribution of the population implemented in the base areas of the Anti-Japanese Union is called true communism. Even the use of the population is distributed according to demand, this is not real communism, what else is? Big Brother of the USSR, did not do this either.

Oh, this chairman's office meeting was proposed by Yang Zhen. After all, the Standing Committee of the Northeast Bureau cannot be held every day because of how many people are allocated and how many materials are approved. The Northeast People's Government is the main implementation unit of the Northeast Bureau's policies. Cumbersome things like this should give the Northeast People's Government a headache.

Yang Zhen is the second secretary of the Northeast Bureau and does not hold any position in the Northeast People's Government. The part-time vice chairman of the Northeast People's Government and the director of the mobilization department of the military region is the director of the political department. The rest of the people, in the Northeast People's Government, do not have any part-time jobs.

He did this to avoid distracting himself and the thinking of the military region in certain aspects because of too many trivial matters. Therefore, the government office meeting of later generations was copied and such a chairman's office meeting was created. Anyway, as long as the Northeast Bureau grasps the general direction, the real implementation is still to let the government be responsible. As for the Standing Committee of the Northeast Bureau that needs Yang Zhen to participate, it is better to open as few as possible.

In the current situation, not to mention meeting the needs of the advance army to replenish soldiers, even the Anti-Japanese Federation itself, if the mobilization speed of the new area cannot keep up, I am afraid it will be difficult to complete the need for replenishment of soldiers. According to the needs of the troops in the next stage of operations, at least four to six new divisions will be formed this time.

In addition to the need to restore the local troops that have almost been exhausted, to make up for the gap in casualties in this campaign, it is necessary to mobilize at least about 200,000 young and middle-aged people to enlist in the army. This is conceivably difficult for the current population of the base areas and for the future construction tasks.

You must know that not counting the newly liberated areas in this battle, the original most populous area in the entire base area, the puppet Manchurian Binjiang Province, has a population of only 4 million. Longjiang Province, which is the second largest, has a total population of more than half that of Binjiang Province, with only 2 million people.

Of the 2,090,000 people in Longjiang Province, more than half were located in the newly liberated areas of the battle. Before the start of this battle, the total population of the former Manchurian Sanjiang Province, which was actually the second most populous, was only more than 1.4 million.

As for Mudanjiang Province, Bei'an Province, Dong'an Province, Xing'an North Province, and Xing'an East Province, the population is more than 300,000 or 400,000, and the few are only more than 100,000. The population of the 15 counties in Bac An Province together is just over 200,000. The population of Hung Yen North Province and Hung Yen East Province is only this number.

The total population of these three provinces combined is not as good as that of a prefecture in Kannai. In Heihe Province, the least, the total population is less than 100,000. It is said that there are more than 10 million people, which is the result of counting the more than 1 million people in the former Longjiang Province in the Japanese-controlled area. In fact, this part of the population was not under the control of the Anti-Japanese Federation until the end of the battle.

The entire North Manchurian base area does not count the newly liberated areas in this battle. The total population of all counties and cities taken together is not as good as the population of a base area in central Hebei in Guannei. Among them are more than 200,000 Japanese nationals who have now become prisoners, as well as nearly 100,000 Belarusians and expatriates from other countries, who cannot be conscripted.

Judging from the proportion of the population base that can be conscripted, excluding the number of people who cannot be conscripted, the total strength of the anti-United Nations forces can be said to be quite large compared with the population resources. The entire North Manchurian base area, not counting the newly liberated areas, is now somewhat burdened.

At the same time, the population of the various base areas in North Manchuria, in terms of population density, the pressure on them to support the troops is much higher than that of the various base areas in the Guannai. It is equivalent to an average county, which has to support tens of thousands of combat troops. In addition to the non-agricultural population such as government agencies, industry, education, and urban population, the agricultural burden in the entire North Manchurian base area is much higher than that in Guannai.

If it weren't for Yang Zhen who established the Production and Construction Corps at the beginning, he would have purchased a batch of mechanized agricultural equipment at any cost. On the Sanjiang Plain, a large amount of wasteland has been reclaimed, and the area of cultivated land has now reached more than 7 million mu. More than 80 percent of the grain and meat needed by the troops, the organs of the Northeast Bureau, and schools have been completely borne by the Production and Construction Corps.

It also implements a grain rationing system in the base areas and implements strict planning for agricultural production. The widespread planting of corn, wheat, and other high-yield crops, and the strict control of the sown area of sorghum and millet, I am afraid that the problem of feeding these hundreds of thousands of troops alone will crush the North Manchurian base areas.

Food security is the top priority of whether the base is stable or not, and it is also the top priority related to the stability of the people's hearts. The production capacity of the production and construction corps has now reached the extreme. Ensuring that agricultural production was as unaffected by the war as possible has also become a top priority for the Northeast Bureau.

The current number of agricultural populations cannot be reduced unless they are fully mechanized in a short period of time. If conscription is excessive, the impact on agricultural production will be fatal. After all, at present, in addition to the mechanization of agricultural production by the Production and Construction Corps, the vast majority of rural areas still rely on manpower and animal power. And this situation simply cannot change in the next few years.

The existing production capacity of the Production and Construction Corps has been stretched to the extreme, and it is no longer able to provide more food. In the first half of this year, more than 2 million mu of newly reclaimed cultivated land on the east bank of the Nenjiang River up to Wudalianchi and at the western foot of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains may be difficult to form sufficient output in a short period of time under the condition that agricultural machinery has not been greatly replenished and it is difficult to increase the output rapidly in a short period of time.

The newly increased non-agricultural population can only rely on the existing agricultural population to support it. It is no longer possible to reduce the existing agricultural population in the base areas. Not to mention that the population potential of the old base areas has been used to the extreme, that is, the distribution of the population in the newly liberated areas has been placed on the agenda of the Northeast Bureau meeting before this battle.

Although the total population of the newly liberated areas is not too large, it cannot be compared with that of South Manchuria. However, these areas, except for the Changbai Mountains in the east and the grasslands, deserts, and mountain forests in the west, are almost all the original main agricultural areas in the entire Northeast. The grain output was also one of the best in the entire Northeast.

This newly increased grain output is very important for the future development of the situation in Northeast China. This area, in particular, is a major soybean producer. You can't fish in the old area, and you can't fish in the new area. What's more, although the area of the new area is huge, the actual number of people added is not too much.

In the later War of Liberation, the Northeast Field Army was able to grow to more than one million people, but it did not rely on the supplementary soldiers recruited in the Northeast. At some times, the main source of reinforcement was the captivity. Even in some units, after a major battle, the number of liberation fighters in the army was much higher than the number of soldiers recruited.

But although the number of Japanese prisoners captured by the Anti-Japanese Federation is not too much, it is really a lot. Coupled with the captured Japanese expatriates, the number is still quite large. But could these Japanese soldiers and Japanese expatriates be added to the army as supplementary soldiers?

If it weren't for Yang Zhen's insistence on sending them to the mine for labor reform, and by the way to replenish the labor force that was not enough in Yanzhòng, I am afraid that some cadres in the political department, especially some cadres who came from the Guannai. still held the concept of reforming the Japanese prisoners of war in the Guannai, so he almost didn't offer these guys as ancestors.

Of course, because it was difficult for the Japanese troops in Kannai to catch them alive, there were not many prisoners of war on either the Kuomintang and Communist sides. As long as the captured Japanese soldiers were to be fought over as much as possible. Give the best treatment and form an anti-war alliance in order to break the will of the Japanese army to fight. This is a tactic of struggle, but it is also a tactic of helplessness.

If the enemy army cannot be defeated on the battlefield, it can only adopt this kind of offensive strategy and find a way to break the enemy's will to fight. In addition to the Chinese art of war, it has been said that there has been an offensive heart since ancient times. Preferential treatment of prisoners is, anyway, a propaganda war. Although the Japanese army, which has the prevailing spirit of bushido, has been brainwashed from a man to a beast since the day he joined the army, it can play a limited role.

The whole world will go to their own country to burn and loot the enemy prisoners, as if they were ancestors, looking at this almost all the countries that participated in the global war, I am afraid that only China has done this. Although this strategy of attacking the heart has played a certain role, the cost is a little too great.

In many cases, it made the Japanese feel that even if they were captured, they would not be punished, and they would do whatever they wanted. Therefore, Yang Zhen has a lot of opinions on the treatment of Japanese prisoners of war by the troops in Guannai. He thinks that even if these prisoners of war are not tried, it is a little too much to make them too comfortable.

Not to mention what these Japanese prisoners of war did on the battlefield in China. By the standards of later generations of Westerners, they are enough to commit crimes against humanity. Now let them serve as laborers, even if they are all shot, and there are few wronged ones. Give them super-national treatment, isn't that self-inflicted?

In addition, the situation inside and outside the Guanxi was different, and after several major battles of the Anti-Japanese Federation, the number of Japanese prisoners of war captured far exceeded the total number of the two armies of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the Guannai combined. Yang Zhenke never thought of treating these beasts and beasts according to the prisoner of war policy in the Guannai, so that they could enjoy the happiness in the prisoner of war camp.

Moreover, if the treatment of prisoners of war is treated according to the treatment of prisoners of war by the troops in the Kannai, I am afraid that with the current number of Japanese prisoners of war in the Anti-Japanese Alliance, they will not be able to support themselves by smashing pots and selling iron. Besides, feeding such a large number of living people, so that they have nothing to do, it is easy to have accidents. Even the expatriates with prisoners of war, hundreds of thousands of people gathered together, and it was not a matter of peace to be placed there.

Therefore, Yang Zhen simply selected some so-called good personnel as instructors among the prisoners of war, and all the rest were sent to the mine for labor reform. In addition to eliminating some of the unstable factors, it has also alleviated the shortage of labor in some aspects.

At the same time, it also enables these imperialists to re-establish a correct world outlook and outlook on life through labor reform. And with the contribution made by his labor, he deeply reflects and apologizes to the Chinese people who have suffered deeply, and cleanses his body of profound sins through labor.
