Chapter five hundred and forty-one food
George stayed until three o'clock in the morning before leaving. What exactly he said to Ouyang Yun was unknown to outsiders, but those with a particularly sensitive political sense saw some clues from Ouyang Yun's meeting of the headquarters the next day.
As the highest authority of the Party after the Supreme Military Council, the General Headquarters holds meetings almost every day, but only Ouyang Yun, Chen Cheng, Feng Yuxiang, Li Zongren, Deng Xihou and Bai Chongxi and others participate. There are few precedents.
What is certain is that after every meeting, the headquarters will inevitably issue major orders.
When the Xue Bingjun entered Chongqing, some people once thought that Ouyang Yun was too young to suppress military bosses like Chen Cheng. Moreover, Ouyang Yun's entry into Chongqing to form a coalition government was a typical small fish eating the big fish, and was different from the corporate
The annexation between the two countries involves the military, and its complexity and danger are unknown. It is no exaggeration to say that if Ouyang Yun is not careful, he will make a mistake, thus turning a good thing into a bad thing, and even completely corrupting the domestic situation.
Of course, some people are waiting to see the joke between Ouyang Yun and Xuebingjun. Since ancient times, the country has been full of people with ulterior motives who are keen on internal fighting, and the warlord melee in the early Republic of China encouraged this trend. Therefore, although the enemy is at hand,
There are still some who are trying to steal the throne of power.
The Xuebing Army was able to take control of Chongqing and form a coalition government. The impressive record against Japan was only one of the capitals. Food was Ouyang Yun's biggest weapon. However, Fujian, Guangdong, Guizhou and Qiong were not food-rich areas. Although Zhejiang produced food,
It had just been recovered not long ago. Even though Ouyang Yun had already prepared for a rainy day and used various means to turn the Southern Peninsula into a granary for the cadet army, not to mention the difficulty of buying food from the Southern Peninsula, let’s take the Henan Famine that is still wreaking havoc.
Say, how should Ouyang Yun face it? If you are not in his position and do not want to govern, you can ignore Ouyang Yun when he is in Guangzhou. Now you are the supreme head of the national government, and Henan is just a place to rule.
Can't we sit back and do nothing?
The Great Famine was raging in Henan, and just as the Japanese army launched the Qinling Operation, the Sichuan Basin, the most important food producing area in the rear area, became a battlefield. The food problem that had been troubling the rear area immediately rose to a strategic level, leading to the death of more than 20 million people.
The phenomenon of people crying for food - why Chiang Kai-shek was willing to abdicate and commanded the war of resistance ineffectively. The most critical reason is because of his inability to solve the food problem. If we can't defeat little Japan for a while, we can continue to work hard. But if too many people starve to death, it will definitely be
It will be infamy for eternity, and there is no chance of a comeback.
When the coalition government replaces the Republic of China government, a considerable number of people will naturally lose power as a result. These talents do not care about the overall situation or the great cause. Due to the military power of the Xuebing Army, they dare not express their dissatisfaction openly, but they can connect with each other in private.
Then he sat quietly and watched Xuebingjun and Ouyang Yun's joke: "Wait until people starve to death and see how Ouyang Yun ends up!"
One week has passed, a large amount of food has arrived by air, and vehicles have arrived. Two weeks have passed, and more food has arrived by air, and vehicles have arrived. Three weeks have passed, and more than one-third of the refugees gathered around Chongqing have been relocated.
The Military Special Zone was established, and food was still being shipped in a steady stream... This naturally surprised many.
They underestimated the food production capacity of the Southern Peninsula, or in other words, they simply did not know that Ouyang Yun had completely transformed the Southern Peninsula into a grain production area two years ago. Ouyang Yun really had no way to solve the great famine in Henan.
There is food, but there is no way to transport it. The emergence of fifty special attack aircraft, or the emergence of special attack tactics, has eliminated the height advantage of the empty fortress. Moreover, there is a famine in Henan Province. How much food must be transported to solve the problem?
Originally, Ouyang Yun was not in a hurry about the progress of the war. Since he decided to use the world as a chessboard, his vision is no longer limited to the domestic battlefield. In order for the country to obtain more war interests, he is willing to wait until the United States fails to pay.
The Soviet Union failed to support him. The strategy he adopted at that time was actually similar to that of Zhu Yuanzhang in the late Yuan Dynasty, that is, building a high city, hoarding grain, and slowly becoming king. What he did was that when the world needed a country, the student army could get it.
It will become a blockbuster and completely change the interest pattern of Asia and even the world.
Of course, everything has a degree, so there must be a certain degree of failure of the United States and Soviet Russia. We must not wait until they are completely defeated by Germany and Japan. Regarding the Australian war situation, Chu Tiange will send back battle reports almost every day.
Therefore, although Ouyang Yun is thousands of miles away, he actually still has a clear understanding of the situation of the Australian War. When he privately discussed the Australian War with Jiang Guangnai, he made it clear that the US government could still hold on, so it was not the best time to attack.
The timing. However, after George asked for a meeting, he changed his mind. It is true that the United States can still persist, and it is not yet time to send reinforcements to Australia. However, considering the current reorganization status of the Central Army in Chongqing, he thinks it is not a good idea to increase troops at this time.
An opportunity to digest the Central Army.
The successful resolution of the food crisis greatly helped Ouyang Yun establish his authority as soon as possible. This can be seen from the changes in the attitudes of Chen Cheng and Feng Yuxiang when they met him. Previously, although Chen Cheng had great respect for Ouyang Yun, he was taciturn.
Whatever he says and does, he should always leave a third of room. That is clearly a wise way to protect himself and leave room for the future. But now, his suggestions on national and military policies are much more obvious. It is obvious that he has truly put himself into consideration.
He was regarded as the Deputy Minister of Defense. What about Feng Yuxiang? Because Xuebingjun was born in the Northwest Army, although he did not deliberately rely on his old age, he would always show his attitude of treating Ouyang Yun as a child without realizing it.
Tone. In the past, he used to call Ouyang Yun by his first name behind his back, but now he also started to call him Prime Minister. He may not have noticed this change, but it was recorded by Hu Tong's people and reported to
Ouyang Yun.
Of course Ouyang Yun didn't care about this on the surface, but privately he was quite content with it.
Back to business, at the beginning of the meeting, Ouyang Yun directly pointed out the topics of the meeting, and then named Chen Cheng to express his opinions.
Chen Cheng now has a preliminary impression of the size of the student army and even the total number of soldiers, so he knows the existence and size of the Australian aid army. The Central Army received a lot of weapons and equipment from the US aid some time ago, which gives the Central Army a certain degree of combat strength.
However, through these US aid weapons and equipment, he gained a certain understanding of the combat power of the US military.
"The strength of the Japanese army in the Australian battlefield is mainly composed of Southeast Asian retinue troops, right? Can't the Americans even defeat the Southeast Asian puppet troops?" His tone was full of confusion, and his brows were slightly frowned. Although the Central Army suffered many defeats in the battle against Japan,
