After the Jianghuai Campaign was completed, the central government made certain adjustments to the major strategic areas within the pass. The original Huainan, Huaibei, North Jiangsu, and Central Jiangsu Military Regions were abolished, and the four military regions were unified into the Jianghuai Military Region. The New Fourth Army headquarters formed the Jianghuai Military Region.
Headquarters. Chen Hanzhang served as the commander of the Jianghuai Military Region and the commander of the New Fourth Army. The original acting commander of the New Fourth Army was transferred to political commissar.
After the completion of the Jianghuai Operation, some of the tank units transferred to the Pass by the Anti-Japanese Federation were integrated into the Jianghuai Military Region, and the other was transferred to Shimen. The aviation force was mainly equipped along the Jianghuai Military Region and Pingjin. After this reorganization, the Jianghuai Military Region
The military region has become one of the major strategic areas in the pass in terms of strength and configuration, second only to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, which serves as the general reserve force.
Yang Zhen could only shake his head and smile bitterly at the fact that the troops entering the customs were changed into the New Fourth Army. In fact, Yang Zhen believed that if the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the troops of the Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu Military Region were sent south to join forces with the New Fourth Army, the Anti-Japanese Alliance could advance
After the Guan troops complete the Jianghuai operation, it will be more effective to deploy the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei and Shandong military regions respectively and serve as the general reserve force of the entire army in the Guan area.
But Yang Zhen also understood that it would be better for him not to intervene in this matter. The central government’s deployment must have the central government’s intentions and ideas. The environment and status are different, and the perspective of considering the problem is also different. The central government will
When the Anti-Japanese Forces and the New Fourth Army are integrated, they should consider the overall situation around the Jianghuai River.
At least for now, in the Chinese battlefield, it can maintain sufficient deterrence against the Chinese dispatched troops in the Jiangnan corner plus Taiwan. It can also maintain sufficient deterrence in other directions. The most critical thing is the Jianghuai area. Although
It is currently being invaded by the Yellow River, but it is much richer than North China and has enough strength to support the supply of the army.
The recapture of Jianghuai, plus the grain-producing areas in Jizhong and Shandong will basically reduce the burden on the old areas in Guannai to one-third of the previous one. If the Yellow River Delta area is being reclaimed, judging from the current reclamation rate, this ratio
It can be lowered even further.
However, the central government also considered the development of the Northeast. After the Jianghuai Campaign was completed, a number of troops were transferred from the New Fourth Army and the Shandong Military Region to the Northeast, and the organic units were converted into agricultural troops to speed up the development of the Liaohe Delta. The Shandong Military Region also increased its
In order to reduce the burden on the pass as much as possible, we have strengthened the reclamation of the Yellow River estuary.
Yang Zhen insisted on developing the Liaohe Delta. Although it brought a certain burden to the Northeast's finances, the development speed of the entire Liaohe Delta was very fast. At the end of May 2005, the first oil well in the Liaohe Oilfield officially produced oil. And according to a certain
An American expert predicts that if sufficient investment is maintained, the Liaohe Oilfield, which has considerable reserves, will become the second Romania.
The successful development of the Liaohe Oilfield made Yang Zhen feel relieved. At the end of June, the first shipment of oil produced by the Liaohe Oilfield was shipped to Norway to pay for the remaining payment for the purchase of German equipment from Norway, and 50,000 tons of oil were subsequently exported to France.
The signing of the order also relieved Northeast China's tight finances.
It's just that the French, whose finances are about to go bankrupt, don't have enough cash to pay for this oil order. But Yang Zhen also generously agreed that the French could not pay in cash, but use their industrial equipment in the German-occupied areas, and
The German equipment captured by the French army will pay the bill. However, it is limited to designated equipment and equipment, as well as corresponding technology.
The French-occupied area is the main distribution area of the German automobile industry and optics. It has an industrial base that ranks first in Europe and ranks first in the world. Yang Zhen does not have much hope for automobile industry equipment. But optical equipment and technology are
What the Chinese people urgently need most right now.
Both parties were happy with these two transactions. One got the much-needed equipment, and the other got the fuel he desperately needed through generosity. The French, who are also cash-strapped at the moment, are still very realistic, facing the fuel shortage in the entire Europe.
In this situation, as long as they can get urgently needed oil without paying large sums of cash, they can do business regardless of who they do business with.
For the French, the war is over and the generosity of the Americans has stopped. The country was first occupied and plundered by the Germans for a long time, and then the industrial town in the north was also called one of the main battlefields on the Western Front. Although the large-scale war in France
, only lasted for half a year, but the damage caused was staggering.
At the moment, for the French, it has become the primary choice to obtain cheap, preferably cash-free sources of materials to survive the initial post-war crisis and create conditions for the country's recovery. At this time, the Chinese are willing to make this deal.
This is undoubtedly good news for the French.
As for the Germans, let them go to hell. These Germans are all starving to death, which is the best news for France. Being fully occupied by the German army during World War II was undoubtedly a serious blow to the proud French. At this time
The Chinese proposed that France, which is about to go bankrupt financially, exchange equipment and technology from the French occupied areas and French industrial products for oil and medicine. Naturally, the French, whose traditional export market has basically been lost to the Americans, would not be happy.
France was the first, followed by Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, and even Italy, the German ally throughout World War II, all made the same request. No need to pay cash, for these broken countries that were beaten
, is undoubtedly a good idea. However, these countries that do not have occupied areas in Germany are very poor and have limited things to exchange.
However, the central government believed that this was undoubtedly a good opportunity to make friends and open trade channels, and immediately approved Yang Zhen's proposal to barter with Western European countries on oil plus grain, as well as textiles from Tianjin and Liaodong.
The trade not only solved the urgent needs of European countries, but also obtained certain technologies and urgently needed equipment.
What should I do if the Netherlands has no currency and no German machinery or weapons? This is easy to do. You go out and buy it from the Americans, and the Chinese use oil as a means of payment. The Dutch have good cows and good shipbuilding technology, but the Chinese can’t afford it.
I will refuse. Belgium, which is in tatters, can also do the same.
In fact, Yang Zhen was eyeing a steel factory in Belgium, but the Belgians would rather freeze or be beaten to death than sell the factory. However, under the difficult circumstances, the Belgians finally provided some of the most urgently needed mold steel in the Northeast.
and a complete set of steel smelting equipment and technology for shipbuilding in exchange for urgently needed food, oil, textiles, and urgently needed penicillin and streptomycin to curb large-scale epidemics of infectious diseases.
Italy's shipbuilding, automobile, aircraft manufacturing technology, and arms industry are also not weak. The soy sauce-like war attitude is a problem of the war attitude. But the industrial foundation of the Italians is still at a certain level in Europe. It has been completely lost.
The Italians in the colonies were very generous in obtaining supplies. In order to obtain cheap food and oil from the East, the Italians generously provided torpedo technology.
By the time the Americans, who were half-slow to respond, began to implement the Marshall Plan in Europe and provide large-scale aid to European countries, the Northeast Bureau and the Northeast People's Government had already opened oil export channels and established relations with post-war Western European countries.
trade relations.
The barter method of exchange is undoubtedly very suitable for most of the current countries, which have been leveled. The colonies in Asia are either still under the control of the Japanese army, or have begun to be turbulent in European countries. In addition to the British overseas possessions, there are also
In addition to their strong persistence, other Western European countries have basically established trade relations with Northeast China.
In fact, Yang Zhen basically didn't interfere in these matters, and he didn't even ask. He left all economic work to the Northeast People's Government to handle. In terms of import and export of the Northeast Government, in addition to letting the intelligence department help
Apart from matchmaking, everything else is done by hands-off shopkeepers.
He has neither the energy nor the mind to take care of those things now. Especially now that the commander of the entire Northeast Military Region has been transferred back to the central government. The original director of the political department of the military region has also been transferred back to the central government. The first political commissar is only responsible for certain secret work.
, Guo Bingxun was transferred to North Korea to take charge, and he had to do many things by himself.
It was impossible for him to divert a lot of energy to intervene in the economy, which he was not good at. In addition to asking the intelligence department to provide some assistance, Yang Zhen's main energy was still focused on his own plan. During this period, he kept flying to the central government to report
He worked and discussed matters with the chairman and vice-chairman. Even throughout July, he spent more time in the central government than in the northeast.
And just when Du Kaishan was going all out to launch an all-out attack on the battlefield in southern Korea, Yang Zhen's sailors who had been transferred back from the Soviet Northern Fleet in advance, plus a large number of personnel from the intelligence department and technical department, also started secretly in the name of the reserve team.
Enter North Korea.
The Anti-Alliance's long-range reconnaissance aircraft also continuously dispatched the most extensive reconnaissance operations to various military ports along the coast of Japan, as well as the entire Japanese mainland. This reconnaissance operation covered a wide range of areas and the aerial reconnaissance operations were detailed. It was the beginning of the Anti-Alliance's major campaign against Japan.
The first time of scale reconnaissance.
From military ports to cities, from villages to coastlines, all movements in the entire Japanese mainland are within the reconnaissance range of the Anti-League reconnaissance aircraft. Especially from the Southern Kuril Islands in the north to Kyushu Island in the south, all movements in the Japanese mainland are
Anti-Japanese reconnaissance planes hovered over military ports and naval shipyards almost every day.
It's just that the Japanese army, whose local air defense force has been exhausted at this moment, faces these reconnaissance planes circling over their heads every day. As long as they don't drop bombs, they can only let it go. The only remaining air defense fighters are no longer capable of intercepting these reconnaissance planes. They were intercepted anyway.
There was almost nothing left of the mainland that was bombed, and there were no secrets to keep.
These reconnaissance planes took a large number of photos, which were analyzed in detail one by one. Any place similar to a factory was clearly marked on the map. The photos taken during the entire reconnaissance operation were piled up in several rooms after the war.
House. Based on the reconnaissance, the intelligence department also redrawn the map of Japan's four mainland islands, especially Honshu Island, where industry is the most concentrated.
The Second Parachute Division stationed in the Korean Peninsula is also constantly conducting targeted training. Several fully-organized divisions mobilized from the Northeast have also replaced the divisions of the North Korean cluster that suffered heavy casualties and stationed themselves in various ports in Busan and Ulsan. At the same time, from
Northeastern tried to find a way to reserve a large amount of diesel at the two ports of Busan and Ulsan before the railway repairs were completed.
Dalian and Huludao, places with shipbuilding industries, are also increasing their power to convert a large number of sailboats mobilized from the coasts of Shandong and northern Jiangsu into motor-driven sailboats. They are also conducting centralized training for shipwrights and completing a batch of transfers to North Korea.
And it is not easy to avoid the eyes of the US military, which at this time has completely controlled the sea and air in the Western Pacific.
Throughout July, Yang Zhen kept running between Peking and Shenyang, and on the other hand he continued to use various technical and propaganda methods to cover up his strategic plan. He continued to publicize the final battle against Japan in newspapers and radio, and would
