Chapter 877, Asian Strategy

After emphasizing the completion of tax affairs, Wu Shaoting made some explanations on the education cause. He asked the Ministry of Education to fully encourage private schools and relax the treaties for local Chinese schools. However, a series of strict procedures and regulatory systems must be formulated for church schools run by foreigners in China. Foreigners use school management to promote their own ideas has a great impact on Chinese students in their youth, so they must be prevented. Once foreign schools that spread reactionary ideas are discovered, they will immediately take action and then report them and deal with them seriously.

He asked Zhu Zhixin, Minister of Education, that the Ministry of Education is only responsible for the review of school qualifications and teachers, and that all academic qualifications will be issued by the school itself, and that excellent schools can provide funding and facilities assistance. The purpose of encouraging private schools is to use private travel funds to expand the scale of education. At the same time, the Ministry of Education should also actively build public and national schools to bring learning opportunities to more families as much as possible.

"In the future of the country, education is the basis. Only high-quality Chinese people can have high-quality China. No matter how hard they suffer, no matter how poor they are, no matter how poor they are, they cannot be poor in education. During the revolutionary period, we said that we should use the sacrifices of our generation to exchange for the happiness of the next generation. I can now tell you very clearly that if you want to truly make the happiness of the next generation, you must start with education. I will give the Ministry of Education five years, and in these five years, we will implement the three-year compulsory education system for me. Minister Zhu, can you do it?" Wu Shaoting said magnificently.

Zhu Zhixin, the Minister of Education under the rostrum, hesitated for a while, suddenly stood up and said loudly with a solemn face: "Please rest assured, if the compulsory education system cannot be completed within five years, Yu will turn himself over to the position of Minister of Education and concentrate on the education cause from then on. I will make up for the tasks that cannot be completed on the temple, and even testify to the will of the children and grandchildren in the future!!"

Wu Shaoting nodded with relief and exclaimed: "Very good, as a central official, you must have such courage."

Finally, regarding China's industrial development, Wu Shaoting formulated a five-year development plan and decided to use national defense industry as the main and civil industry as the auxiliary in the next five years to drive the development of China's industry on a large scale. In this five-year development plan, he proposed to establish two local leading heavy industry enterprises in the north and south as soon as possible, use preferential policies to establish the status of leading heavy industry enterprises as soon as possible, and then lead heavy industry enterprises to drive the development of local civil industry.

In fact, the south has already had a certain industrial foundation, and Shengye Heavy Industry, which Wu Shaoting's father-in-law Zhang Zhi, is already a veritable leading heavy industry in the south. Although Shengye Heavy Industry has not developed for a long time and has caused the bankruptcy and bankruptcy of many small factories during the development process, it has to be said that Shengye Heavy Industry has greatly promoted the development of southern industry.

As for the leading heavy industry enterprises in the north, Wu Shaoting expected to make Zhang Shengting Northern Affairs Company bigger. Although industry is not the main project of Northern Affairs Company, as long as it is necessary, industrial development can also be strengthened. Of course, if the Northern Affairs Company wants to catch up with the scale of Shengye Heavy Industry as soon as possible, it must carry out large-scale financing. The central government can help some of it, and local tyrants, warlords, and gentry can also help.

The early development of China's industry is almost concentrated on the military industry, including a new generation of fighter jets, "aviation battleships" and more advanced and applicable army equipment. Most of the orders for the military industry come from the Ministry of Defense, and a small part is exported to the outside world, which can ensure the stability of the demand in the industrial market and ensure the fullness and stability of the industrial development process. Although the civil industry also needs to develop, the market demand is limited after all, and it only needs to reach the saturation level of the existing domestic market.

By the time China resolves all internal and external crises and lays the foundation for steady development, the military industry can directly complete excessive and transformation, and promote a comprehensive reform of China's labor force.

Although Wu Shaoting's five-year industrial development plan was just the beginning of industrial development, it laid an extremely good start for later generations. When people made comments decades later, they proudly believed that this "five-year plan" could be called "China's industrial revolution", and was defined in textbooks as "the great reform of military industry."

This working meeting of the central government determined China's determination to deal with threats from the top, and it was also the first time Wu Shaoting has demonstrated his authority since he became the head of state. This meeting laid a solid foundation for the subsequent "Asian Strategy" formulated by the Ministry of National Defense, united the hearts of the central government, and made every effort to strive for China's path to becoming a strong country.

--------

On the morning of March 1, Wu Shaoting held a high-level meeting at the Ministry of Defense of the China Gate, announcing the formal formulation and implementation of the "Asian Strategy". He Fuguang, Wei Rutong and Xu Chongzhi and other three senior generals attended the event, and the core members of the "Shame" group also listened and made suggestions. The core idea based on the entire "Asian Strategy" was exactly what Wu Shaoting and German Minister Xin Ci talked about a month ago. It was a hypothetical China launched a series of combat plans in Asia after it announced its joining the Allies.

Of course, the "Asian Strategy" is not just a combat plan, but more importantly, it is a business idea. It is to make China operate into an Asian power in the shortest time, at least side by side with the *** in national strength, and in military strength, it must surpass the *** and become the strongest military force in Asia.

The first thing that the entire meeting discussed was to strengthen the rule of the Northeast, to forcibly abolish all concessions in China, until the decisive battle between China and Japan was initiated. A series of military arguments and contemplation were carried out around this idea, and a set of absolutely feasible action plans were established. In fact, since Wu Shaoting met with German Minister Xin Ci, the Ministry of Defense had been actively preparing for discussions and planning in this regard, and today, the outline of the draft has basically been formed.

In the "Hunting Eagle" combat room, Wang Changling, director of the War Situation Bureau, stood in front of a large map of the three northeastern provinces and the entire territory of North Korea, and said with a solemn expression: "Based on the intelligence sent by our intelligence personnel in North Korea and the messages received by the *** government officials who had bribed the German embassy in Japan before evacuation, we can confirm that the *** Army Provincial Capital will expand Sino-Japanese conflicts in four months, and then send troops from North Korea to formally threaten the three northeastern provinces. Currently, the 8th and 9th divisions stationed in North Korea are in urgent need of the 7th and 10th divisions from Taiwan. The latest news says that from February 21 to February 24, the 7th Division and the 10th Division have set up temporary command headquarters in Pyongyang and Seoul."

Wei Rucong asked: "How long will it take for the 7th Division and the 10th Division to transfer their base?"

Wang Changling took a document from the adjutant and took a look, and said: "The fastest transfer of these two divisions is ten days, but at the current speed, it may take a month or even longer. On the one hand, the government has financial difficulties, and this large-scale transfer of the station requires a lot of manpower and material resources; on the other hand, it may be that the *** does not want to expose their intentions too quickly, after all, they will still need some time to prepare."

Wei Rucong turned to Ni Yingdian, General Logistics Minister of the Ministry of National Defense, and asked: "How is the logistics preparations for the North First Army?"

Ni Yingdian immediately said: "All preparations have been completed on the fifteenth of last month. The last batch of materials will be transported from local provinces on the fifteenth day. It has just begun to be distributed to the regiment headquarters at the end of the month. It is expected to take three days to be in place. However, there are still some problems with the Beiyi Army, that is, the weapons and standards of the six conventional divisions under its command are uneven. After all, there were the Beiyang Central Division, the Rehe and Zhili Province local divisions, and two newly formed divisions."

Wu Shaoting, who was sitting in the head seat, frowned and said, "This is a problem. However, the six divisions have nearly 100,000 personnel in the organization, so it is not an easy task to replace a unified weapon at once."

At this time, He Fuguang said: "I think it is enough for the Beiyi Army to maintain its current equipment for the time being. For example, the local army of Rehe and Zhili provinces changed the combat power of the 35th and 36th Divisions are very limited, and it is even a problem whether they dare to go to the battlefield at that time, so these two divisions can be ignored. Lei Zhenchun's elite 33rd Division and Tian Wenlie's elite 34th Division were previously elites from Beiyang, and they still have some combat power. And the equipment is not bad. As for the newly compiled 37th and 38th Division can be said to be a combat force focused on training by the Beiyi Army. During the organization process, they were equipped with new rifles, some automatic rifles and the most advanced artillery fire, but they are all new recruits and cannot give all hope."

Wei Rucong nodded and said in agreement: "What Chief He said is very true. In fact, although the North First Army is very powerful, there are still many shortcomings in terms of combat effectiveness and military quality. If you really want to fight with the small *** in the Northeast, the North First Army will still be under great pressure. I suggest that the National Defense Forces must go into battle when necessary."

Ni Yingdian turned to Wu Shaoting and said: "The Head of State, the three divisions of the National Defense Forces in Shandong, and the recently newly formed Fourth Division of the National Defense Forces have completed all post-war supplements, including soldiers, equipment, materials and corresponding funds. The Fourth Division of the National Defense Forces is currently stationed in the Zhengzhou Camp in Henan."

Wu Shaoting pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "If it is really necessary, the National Defense Forces will naturally have to take over. This will be added to the later planning arrangements."

He Fuguang nodded and said, "Well, I understand. In addition, the War Situation Bureau also found news about the addition of two new divisions in North Korea." He said, nodding to Wang Changling standing in front and signaling.

Wang Changling then took over and said, "The two newly established standing divisions have been confirmed on January 30th. They are the 19th Division and the 20th Division, but the recruitment and training work has not yet begun. According to the intelligence information on our hands, the *** Army Provincial Capital allocated military funds to the Preparatory Office of the 19th Division and the 20th Division within this month, and plans to recruit new recruits across the country and North Korea and Taiwan. According to the documents of the Army Provincial Government, they require the recruitment work to be completed within one month and the training of new recruits within seventy-eight days."

Wu Shaoting asked: "Will the two newly added divisions recruit North Koreans and Taiwanese?"

Wang Changling replied: "A part of the North Koreans may be recruited as military servants, but Taiwanese people should not. It is said that the older generation of Taiwan's anti-Japanese sentiment is still very strong, and the Japanese army cannot trust Taiwanese people easily."

Wu Shaoting nodded thoughtfully, and after a while of silence, he suddenly said, "Look at if you can find a few Koreans to get in. It will definitely be of some help in the future."

He Fuguang and Wei Rucong looked at each other. They didn't know why Wu Shaoting suddenly had this idea? Although this idea was unexpected and unpredictable, and if it succeeded, it would indeed play a big or small thing, but if it failed, it would be a big or small thing, such as being tricked by the enemy! From a cautious perspective, it would be better not to do anything extra.

Wei Rucong coughed lightly and said, "Shuai Ting, is it necessary to do this?"

Wu Shaoting knew that the soldiers of this era were very conservative in their ideas. He emphasized: "This is a duel that determines the destiny of our Greater Republic of China. Naturally, we must prepare all the advantages that can be held in our hands. In addition, although North Korea has merged with the ***, it does not mean that the North Koreans are willing to surrender to the ***, and this is also the point we must make good use of."

Wei Rucong thought seriously for a while, then said, "Since that's the case, you must do this matter carefully and carefully, and you must not make any mistakes!"

Wang Changling said solemnly: "Please rest assured that the War Situation Bureau will definitely fulfill its mission."
Chapter completed!
