493 The Great Migration of the He Clan in the Far East
Shanghai, Zhabei District.
Former Philippine President Emilio Aquino and several of his confidants now live in a residential house where poor people live. This is probably the worst house he has lived in in his life. He is the head of the Aquino family, one of the three indigenous families in the Philippines. He lived a pampered and prosperous life since childhood. Whether in the Spanish colonial period or the short-lived First Republic of the Philippines, he was a famous figure.
However, after the Americans came to the Philippines, they were very afraid of him, the founding president of the Philippine Republic, and they spared no effort to suppress him and the entire Aquino family. This made him once exiled to Hong Kong and even established relations with Japan there.
I originally wanted to rely on seizing the Philippine regime with the support and help of the Japanese, but who knew that these Japanese were unable to protect themselves in the end. They lost to GCD in the civil war and even went to surrender to China. Now they introduced the relationship between China's National Intelligence Agency to Aquino, saying that the Chinese were willing to help the Philippines make trouble... However, Emilio Aquino, who had been up and down in the Philippine political arena for so many years, is not a three-year-old child. Look at the so-called temporary residence arranged by the China National Intelligence Agency (not that GC International is reluctant to give up money, but is afraid of being discovered by the China Secret Service), and you will know how suspicious the other party's identity is!
However, Aquino did not expose Kenji Doihara (this is a real thing) who tricked him into Shanghai. He also seriously negotiated several secret negotiations with General Ren Yihai (Ren Fuchen) of the so-called China National Intelligence Agency. Today, he heard from Ren Yihai that he might really liberate the Philippines from the American colonial rule.
"Organize the Philippine Red Brigade? General, are you saying that China can help our Filipino dead soldiers attack Americans?"
Faced with the problem of Aquino with his eyes shining, Ren Fuchen, who had emerged from the National Intelligence Agency, nodded affirmatively: "Yes, in order to combat the colonial rule of the United States, we should try various methods. While organizing the Red Brigade to carry out terrorist attacks, you can also follow the example of Gandhi in India and mobilize the Philippine people to engage in a non-violent and non-cooperation struggle. You can also send representatives to the League of Nations to accuse the United States of America of aggression against the Philippines. You can even send people to the United States to the mainland and tell the American people the truth about the US government's cruel rule in the Philippines. In short, you can try all kinds of methods. Our China National Intelligence Agency can provide you with all the assistance you can!"
Although he has seen through the fact that the other party is not a real Chinese intelligence official, Mr. Aquino is still willing to accept aid. In this era, the anti-colonial fighters in Asia, Africa and Latin America all believe in the principle that having milk is a mother. No matter whether he is a Japanese, GCD or a Chinese, as long as he can get aid, he can cooperate. He dares to make any promise. Anyway, after the revolution is successful, they will be ungrateful wolves who turn against others.
After reaching a principled agreement, the subsequent negotiations went very smoothly. Philippine nationalists represented by Aquino were determined to make trouble. The GC International and the Soviet Union behind Ren Fuchen also sincerely helped the Philippine people, and did good deeds without leaving a name, let alone asking for rewards after the matter was completed.
The details of the cooperation between the two sides are not complicated. GC International contributes money, weapons, and instructors to establish a secret base on a rare island in the Philippines. Aquino and his gang are responsible for finding passionate young people in the Philippines to receive training. After the training, they begin to attack American targets and American citizens in all parts of the Philippines. What they do is similar to the Red Travel that the terrorists in the early years. After the terrorist attack is completed, they will also call the Philippine newspapers to reveal the sign of the Red Travel!
...
Since Shanghai Free City has grown into a financial and trade center in East Asia. There are more than tens of millions of foreigners entering and leaving every day, the spies from the China State Secret Service did not find that former Philippine President Aquino came to Shanghai for a few days in May 1924, and he did not know that he had already joined the line with the so-called agents of the China State Intelligence Agency.
Therefore, Chang Ruiqing, who has already washed his hands and refused to do terrorists, did not know that he had a troubled Philippine apprentice. His main focus now is two aspects: one is when he could eat the fat piece of Siam into his mouth; the other is the establishment of the Greater China Federation and the Far East Republic. Especially the latter is a major event that will be recorded in history forever, and no mistakes can be made.
To this end, after arranging the two plans to incite the Siam revolution and invade Siam, Chang Ruiqing began his first trip to the Far East in early June 1924.
The Far East in June is already spring, and the fertile fields on the east bank of the Ussuri River have been sown, and the seedlings of wheat and rice are growing vigorously. Looking around, there are lush Angers on both sides of the Far East Railway.
Boli, Xin'antu, Shuangchengzi and Vladivostok. Every important station of the Far East Railway is filled with crowds of people. Every day, countless Japanese refugees with families leave the Far East by train, and almost the same number of immigrants from mainland China moved in, which has a lot of meaning in the Spring Festival travel rush in later generations.
After experiencing a war of national destiny, the former ruler, the Japanese Empire, had been destroyed. The winning China once again embraced this homeland that had been occupied for decades. The tens of millions of Japanese pioneers living here have become a difficult problem that makes people feel a little thrilling.
The original plan for forcibly expelled has become very inappropriate because of the emergence of the Japan-China Treaty and the occurrence of the Japanese Revolution. Moreover, tens of millions of Japanese were also a huge force for Soviet Japan. Not to mention anything else, just by mobilizing 6% of the troops, Japan's GCD will be able to mobilize 600,000 Red Army from them during the world revolution in the future!
But letting them live in this land in the Far East is also raising tigers to cause trouble! Although after experiencing the defeat of the war and the "miracle" of the Kanto earthquake, the Japanese living in the Far East performed extremely obedient and worshiped our great gods. However, Chang Ruiqing knew very well that he was not a god. When he was gone in the future, the descendants of the Japanese in the Far East would not be as separatist as they would! So with his insistence, after the spring plowing ended in 1924, an unprecedented immigration project was launched in the Far East and even the entire China.
The main purpose of Chang Ruiqing's trip to the north this time is to supervise the implementation of the immigration project on site!
"...The Chairman, according to rough statistics, in the jurisdiction of the Far East Republic, there are now a total of 9.55 million He tribes living in the jurisdiction of the Far East Republic. Of which about 7 million are agricultural populations engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry, mainly distributed on the plains around the East Bank of Ussuri River and Xingkai Lake. The remaining 2.5 million people belong to the industrial and commercial population. They were originally engaged in mining, construction, transportation, non-ferrous metal smelting, food processing and other industries. In addition, the administrative system and educational facilities in the Far East are relatively developed, so there are also a large number of former government public officials and teachers from primary, secondary and primary schools, with a number of about 50,000."
In a special train slowly driving on the Far East Railway, Zhou Elai, the newly appointed Prime Minister of the Far East Provisional Government, was holding a bunch of information to introduce the situation to Chang Ruiqing. After years of experience in Xinjiang, the Prime Minister of the later Republic has now shown his superb administrative management ability. After only two months in office in the Far East, he not only set up the teams of governments at all levels and successfully took over the Far East administration from the National Defense Forces, but also made a clear understanding of the population and economic situation of the Far East. He also formulated an immigration project plan for pilot projects. However, at this time, Prime Minister Zhou's two thick eyebrows frowned slightly.
"Xiangyu, the difficulty of immigration lies in the present, and the benefit of Qianqiu." Chang Ruiqing looked at Zhou E's expression and knew that he was worried about the big immigration. So he smiled slightly and explained: "It is very troublesome to move millions of people from the Far East and to immigrate tens of millions of people from the mainland, and it is also very expensive. If this is not the case, it cannot guarantee that the land in the Far East will always belong to China, nor can it guarantee that the tens of millions of Japanese people here will merge into a member of the Chinese. Moreover, such things are the most appropriate to do now. The aftermath of the victory last year is still there, and the special effects of the Dongda earthquake are the time when they are most afraid and obedient, and they are almost at our mercy. If in ten or eight years, the fear in their hearts fades, all kinds of thoughts will arise, and things will be even more difficult to do."
Zhou Elai sighed secretly and whispered: "The immigration project has a great blow to the economic and social development of the Far East. This place could have been built into China's Ruhr District..."
What he said is the truth. The coastal area of the Far East has a very rich coal and non-ferrous metal resources. After decades of construction by the Russians and Japanese, various infrastructures are incomparable to mainland China. What is even more rare is that the education level of the pioneers in the Far East is much higher than that of ordinary people in mainland China. They have a considerable number of engineering and technical personnel and technical workers. Now the first batch of those who have been moved to the mainland are these engineering and technical personnel and technical workers, while ordinary farmers are migrating from the mainland!
"Xiang Yu, you know, all the engineering and technical personnel and technical workers will have greater value in new positions." Chang Ruiqing said it was also good. This time the immigration project was not implemented by a market economy, but took the path of planned economy. The Far East Military Control Commission and the Far East Provisional Government spent more than half a year to basically understand the situation of every Japanese pioneer in the Far East. Then, based on their original vocational and education, they arranged immigration and allocated work or land... and housing (their housing in the Far East was of course also nationalized). If it were not for the military control in the Far East and the semi-planned and semi-market economic system implemented by China now, and with a large number of state-owned enterprises, such immigration projects would be unimaginable. Although there would definitely be problems in the process of distributing work, land and housing, they could make full use of these very valuable talents for China in the shortest time.
Zhou Elai smiled bitterly. As the Prime Minister of the Far East, it was always a bit unhappy to think of the overall regression in the economic and social fields of the territory he managed.
Seeing his expression, Chang Ruiqing laughed: "The infrastructure and resources of the Far East are still there. After a few years, after a large number of domestic college and technical schools graduate, the basic and resource advantages of the Far East will still be effective. At that time, the Far East will definitely be built into the Ruhr District of China under the leadership of Xiangyu."
After hearing what Chang Ruiqing said, Zhou Elai's face suddenly looked much better, and he began to talk to Chang Ruiqing about his grand ideal of building the Far East: "Chairman, our experiment in GCism in Xinjiang cannot be implemented for various reasons, but that does not mean that the economic principles of GCism are wrong. After several months of investigation and research, I found that the conditions of the Far East are very suitable for the governance of GCism's planned economy. The large plains on both sides of the Far East Railway are very suitable for the development of electrified agriculture. We can build state-owned farms with a scale and efficiency far better than individual farmers, and take the path of intensive and large-scale agricultural development.
The mineral resources in the Far East are very rich, with shallow burials and easy to mine. There are also mines left by the Japanese and Russians. Most of these industries are now managed by the temporary government and will not be privatized in the future. Large state-owned mining companies should be established. Steel plants and various non-ferrous metal smelting factories can also be established based on coal mines, tin mines, tungsten mines, lead-zinc mines, and bauxite mines here.
The forestry and fishery resources in the Far East are also very rich. We can establish state-owned forestry companies and fishery companies, which can not only cut trees to catch fish, but also build wood processing and fishery processing enterprises. The products produced can not only meet domestic needs, but also export and exchange foreign exchange.
In addition, although the infrastructure of large and medium-sized cities in the Far East is good, most of the industrial and commercial enterprises originally opened by the Japanese went bankrupt due to the impact of war. A few of them are still maintaining not much vitality. We can take over them all and operate them according to the gc-based planned economy method..."
Zhou E was so excited that he spoke, but it was a little boring to Chang Ruiqing's ears. Especially when he heard that Zhou E wanted to take over the urban industry and commerce in the Far East, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Xiang Yu, some things are one thing to say, but another to do."
"But the planned economy is completely feasible! Didn't the achievements made in my country's heavy industry construction in recent years benefit from the superiority of the planned economic system? As far as I know, after the Soviet Union implemented the planned economy, industrial and agricultural production also achieved considerable achievements." Zhou Elai wrote many figures in a series of ways. How much steel output has increased, how much coal output has increased, how much power generation has increased, how much shipbuilding, automobiles, tractor output and railway operating mileage have increased. In short, under the pure planned economy of the Soviet Union and the semi-planned economic system of China's national socialist country, the heavy industry production situation in the two countries is very good, and the growth rate is not comparable to that of all capitalist countries. Such achievements have proved the superiority of the planned economy. If this is the case, why can't the Far East fully implement the planned economy?
"Xiangyu, the planned economy cannot be omnibusy. The advantage of this system is to concentrate efforts on major tasks, so it is OK to promote the extraordinary development of a few key industries, but it is absolutely not feasible to use it for the entire national economy."
"Why?" Zhou elai said: "We all know that the pace of the world war is approaching. Now the Soviet Union and Japan, which are implementing a planned economy, have concentrated almost all their efforts to invest in the construction of heavy industries. However, we spend a lot of money on the production of excessive cloth, clothes, furniture, toys, leather shoes, porcelain, bicycles, various delicious foods, and more money to speculative land to build houses. We have opened many restaurants, hotels, banks, securities companies, cinemas, amusement parks, and even casinos and pornographic places!"
Finally, Premier Zhou pointed out seriously: "Why can't we use all that money to build heavy industries that can win the world war for us?"
Why? Chang Ruiqing smiled bitterly, and four words appeared in his mind - going to the countryside! In another time and space, from the 1950s to the late 1970s, it was almost the period when the people's good prime minister in front of him was in power. As China transformed from a poor and blank agricultural country to initially completing industrialization, established a complete industrial system and established a perfect industrial system. In the process of becoming a socialist modern power, there was a miracle that a large number of urban population flowed back to the countryside, and it was realized when China's urbanization rate was quite low!
In Chang Ruiqing's view, an important reason is that under the conditions of a planned economy, capital is concentrated in heavy industry fields that can generate a large amount of industrial added value but cannot solve the problem of employment. In the light industry, commerce, service and construction industries that can accommodate a large amount of employment, it either shrinks or stagnates due to the lack of investment and strict controls. Finally, there was a rapid growth in industry, but all light industrial products related to people's lives were insufficient, and commerce and service industries could not meet the demand. At the same time, young people in the service industry were sent to rural areas with a large population and a small land to farm...
Thinking of this, Chang Ruiqing also said to Zhou E with the same solemn expression: "Comrade Xiangyu, our national conditions are different from those of the Soviet Union and Japan. We have a population of 500 million, and most of them are farmers, but the total area of arable land in our country is only more than one billion mu. With these land, it is impossible to make so many farmers rich, let alone more farmers will be reproduced in the future. The only way for them to achieve prosperity is to go to the city to engage in industry and commerce, so we need a very prosperous urban industry and commerce in all aspects, rather than a unique heavy industry. In that way, there is no way to absorb so many rural surplus population! If this problem is not solved well, we cannot even be able to achieve the most basic social stability, so what are the foreign wars?" (To be continued.
