Even if you add in your own request to complete and expand the construction of Tanggu Port and build Tanggu Port into an external port in North China, it will not require too many people. At least four or five years ago, the number required was still limited.
.And these two years have been the peak period for the first batch of students studying in the Soviet Union to return to China. There is still no problem in meeting this need.
What Yang Zhen means is that the most important thing for the North China Bureau now is to come up with a plan based on the idea of balancing national defense and people's livelihood. We cannot build heavy industry with military priority as the Soviets did. We must pay attention to the idea of supporting the army with the people.
Ideas and methods for integrating the military with the people.
Although the planned economy should still be the main focus at the moment, we still need to pay attention to the approach of integrating military and civilian operations. In wartime, military industry should be the main focus, but these factories cannot only produce military products. Simply relying on military orders will be difficult to satisfy factories in peacetime.
Development needs. Yang Zhen means to adopt a planned economy for now, but in the long run, the market should still be the mainstay.
To carry out industrial construction, we cannot just make up our minds with a hammer in one direction and a stick in the other. In the construction of light industry, when necessary, we can adopt a quick-result export-oriented economy with export as the main goal. In formulating the
When planning for industrial development, there must be a systematic, scientific, and most importantly, long-term plan.
When engaged in industrial construction, laymen cannot lead experts, let alone leaders whose intentions are greater than anything else. Everything must be realistic and scientific laws must be respected. When carrying out large-scale infrastructure construction, a strict financial audit system and a sound and modern financial system must be implemented
.
At present, the industrial foundation of the North China base area is much better than that of Northern Manchuria after the capture of Pingjin and Jidong. And now that the foundation has been laid, Northern Manchuria can also support the industrial construction of North China to a certain extent.
At least steel for construction and some machinery and equipment can be provided by Northeast China to support North China.
However, since we are still in a war period, industrial construction must still focus on military industry. First of all, it must at least partially satisfy the various troops in the pass, using light weapons and ammunition and some heavy weapons and ammunition. In particular, the 7.92 mm which is used in large quantities
Rifle machine gun bullets, nine-millimeter submachine gun bullets, and qualified hand grenades.
Judging from the current industrial base of the entire North China, in addition to raw materials such as propellant and cartridge case copper, the production of ammunition is still guaranteed. The Tianjin Dagu Naval Repair Station, originally a factory for repairing and building ships, has long since become a complete
Army arsenal.
The 29th Army stationed in Pingjin before the war used imported light weapons and ammunition, all of which were produced by this naval arsenal. In addition, the Japanese North China Front Army in Peiping had some small arms manufacturing capabilities, and several
The so-called repair shop.
Judging from the current foundation of these factories, if we can add some more equipment, improve production levels, and partially meet the needs of the North China Army, it is still quite guaranteed. Yang Zhen suggested that the weapons and ammunition production parts of these factories should be centralized and relocated.
To Taiyuan, which has a good military-industrial foundation.
However, Yang Zhen does not recommend that the North China base should immediately produce light weapons on its own. In Yang Zhen's view, with the changes in the war situation, the manual rifles currently used are destined to be eliminated. In the exchange of Soviet trophies, as well as the currently captured
As long as the Japanese army's small arms are fully sufficient to meet their needs and they have a certain inventory, it is somewhat wasteful to continue to produce these manual rifles.
The most important thing for the North China base right now is to train technicians and improve the technical level of workers to prepare for the production of new weapons after the war. Like the automatic rifles, squad machine guns and general-purpose machine guns currently used by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, in order to provide a large area for the entire army
Change your outfit and lay a good foundation.
At present, the North China base area can start by renovating second-hand weapons shipped back from the Soviet Union as the starting point for its own production and manufacturing of weapons. It adopts the approach of light first and then heavy, and uses the refurbishment and maintenance of light weapons as the starting point for the real start. Improve its own capabilities as soon as possible
Production technology and capabilities will lay a good foundation for building a real military factory in the future.
At the same time, Yang Zhen also suggested that the central government should become a unified department responsible for managing the industrial production of each major region. This should change the past situation of each major region fighting independently in order to uniformly mobilize and coordinate resources. Especially now that there is an urgent shortage.
Engineering and technical talents and military raw materials, which means that we should concentrate our efforts on doing big things as much as possible.
However, Yang Zhen also expressed the hope that he could choose a place in Hebei to build an aircraft manufacturing factory, or even build an aircraft repair factory first. The current situation on the entire North China battlefield is very different from the past.
The combat aircraft transferred into the customs by the Anti-Japanese Alliance Air Force require a lot of repairs and maintenance.
Moreover, in the future battlefield in North China, aviation investment will also be huge. When all aircraft have problems that cannot be repaired by ground crews, they cannot be transferred back to the Northeast for emergency repairs. This will not only increase the pressure on the Northeast, but also affect the
Combat aircraft availability.
North China can consider starting with aircraft maintenance and eventually building an aircraft manufacturing plant. There are other heavy weapons, and the same should be true in this regard. Start with maintenance first, and increase efforts to train skilled workers. Then to
Gradually transition to self-production.
At this North China Industrial Conference, Yang Zhen's idea was supported by the vice chairman and several bosses. The party economist who is currently the chairman of the Northeast People's Government also agreed with Yang Zhen's reliance on North China's current situation.
If there is an industrial base, we should first solve the problem of using light weapons and ammunition by the troops within the customs.
This party economic expert in charge of the Northeast economy knows very well that the current production capacity of the Northeast industry has been used to the extreme. The huge consumption of ammunition required for the continuous war has somewhat overwhelmed the various arsenals in the Northeast. All work revolves around
War is understandable at this time.
But now the entire industrial base of North Manchuria is far from reaching sufficient strength. The huge demand for ammunition for the entire army is really overwhelming North Manchuria. Even though food and other materials were exchanged from the Soviets
With the arrival of their trophies on the battlefield, the light weapons and equipment of the customs troops temporarily no longer need to be supplied by the Northeast.
The amount of ammunition that can be exchanged cannot meet the needs. After the North China troops changed their equipment, the firepower is not the same as in the past, but the consumption of ammunition is also far greater than before. It all relies on the supply from the Northeast, plus additional
To ensure the ammunition needed for the Anti-Japanese War, the various arsenals in Northern Manchuria are currently overwhelmed.
In this battle, more than 800,000 rounds of various mortar shells were consumed. Mountain artillery shells of various calibers, howitzer shells, recoilless artillery shells and rockets, the consumption inside and outside the pass reached millions of rounds.
, this does not include the consumption of tens of millions of rounds of light weapons ammunition.
Throughout the second half of 1943, nearly 80% of the ammunition produced by various arsenals in North Manchuria was consumed in this battle. If the base areas in North China could meet part of their ammunition needs by themselves. Even if it was just rifle bullets, submachine gun bullets and hand grenades, this would greatly
to reduce the burden on Northern Manchuria.
Moreover, it is not without conditions that North China can at least partially solve its own weapons and ammunition problem. First of all, it turns out that the Taiyuan Arsenal, the largest arsenal in the whole of China, after the fall of Taiyuan, the workers and equipment that were to be evacuated after the fall of Taiyuan are now in their own hands.
In addition, the Dagu Naval Armory in Tianjin is actually an arsenal, the Japanese North China Expeditionary Army's armory in Peiping, and the relatively complete chemical industry base in Tianjin and Tangshan. Although some raw materials still need to rely on the outside world, the production of light weapons
There were no problems with the ammunition.
The chairman of the Northeast People's Government directly proposed that if Yang Zhen's suggestion is passed, the Northeast People's Government can allocate a batch of machinery and equipment to North China in the shortest possible time to strengthen North China's military production capacity. If technical personnel are needed, Northeast China
We can also fully cooperate. At the same time, the Northeast can provide a thousand more trucks to the North China base area to solve the short-distance transportation capacity needs of North China.
Taking into account the problem of funds, the Northeast can first squeeze out 10,000 taels of gold from the 2004 fiscal budget to support the industrial construction of the North China base. In other words, according to the chairman of the Northeast People's Government, North China can build industries
, the Northeast needs funds for funds, manpower for manpower, and equipment for equipment.
With the persistence of the two people, despite a lot of controversy, the work plan for North China for the next two years was finally adopted with the support of the chairman and vice chairman. Moreover, the central government also did its best in terms of personnel.
May have given support to North China.
In fact, the biggest controversy at this North China Work Conference was not about industrial construction, what should be done next, or other matters. It was about the handling of higher education run by the enemy and puppet institutions in Peking and Tianjin, as well as the entire occupied area of North China.
Because of my special status, I was the only one handled by Fu Jen University in Peking.
Yang Zhen's idea was to establish a comprehensive university based on the pseudo-Peking University, based on Professor Liu Ping when the universities in Peking moved southward, to cultivate talents for the entire North China industrial construction. For those who taught at the pseudo-Peking University
The professor will not pursue the crime of traitor except for a few individuals.
Students from the pseudo-Peking University will be screened for those who will work for the Japanese and puppet regime and act as spies to spy on students. The remaining students will continue to retain their student status and can continue to study. For the original students who have graduated, they will be processed.
After the professional qualification examination, the student status will be recognized after the graduation certificate is replaced.
Yang Zhen's attitude is very firm on the controversy over whether the pseudo-Peking University should continue to be maintained or abolished. The university can change its name, and it can also pursue certain professors who have committed serious crimes as traitors. But it cannot.
Even if it is beaten to death with a stick, the school cannot be abolished. Not only cannot it be abolished, but it must also be expanded.
As for Fu Jen Catholic University, Yang Zhen meant to reduce the size of the seminary. Change the faculties of the College of Arts and Sciences, which are supported by Holy See appropriations, to direct funding from the government. Move the Shandong Military Region troops from Weixian County, which was specially used by Japan to detain its occupation.
Among the more than 2,000 foreigners rescued from the concentration camps for foreign nationals in the area, senior intellectuals were recruited to this university through a recruitment system.
However, the appointment letter and salary cannot be issued by the Holy See, but are all issued by the North China People's Government. Yang Zhen means that under the current special circumstances, the status quo of this university should be maintained for the time being. After the Anti-Japanese War is over, it will depend on the changes in the international situation.
and development, and then the university is dealing with it.
Regarding the preservation of the pseudo-Peking University and the issue of retaining the pseudo-Peking University and the professors who teach at the pseudo-Peking University, except for those who have definitely committed traitor crimes, most of them will not be held accountable for their traitor crimes and will continue to serve as professors. At this North China Work Conference
Caused a lot of controversy.
Yang Zhen's firm attitude on this matter made many senior cadres who attended the meeting confused. But Yang Zhen refused to give in on this matter, and even argued with the Minister of Social Affairs of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Branch because of this matter.
The matter shook the table and the argument lasted for a long time.
