An Yi's special train departed from Bombay and drove north to Muyu City (formerly Allahabad) on the south bank of the Ganges River. Then the train turned east to inspect the fertile and vast plains of the subcontinent.
On the fast-moving train, An Yi looked at the almost endless plains. The wheat, barley, sorghum, rapeseed and other crops planted in the autumn had already sprouted tender green shoots. From the train, the view was green and lush.
One piece, sincerely praised:
"It is indeed the most famous granary in the world...I heard that this great plain is two thousand kilometers long from east to west, about two hundred and fifty to five hundred kilometers wide, and has a cultivated area of three to four hundred thousand square kilometers.
Everything is true. With this land, the Chinese nation will never starve again."
"This data is true"
Nalan Piaoxue has been taking root in the subcontinent during this period, and has a very deep impression of the industry and agriculture here:
"According to the latest statistics, the total area of cultivated land in the subcontinent is more than 190 million hectares, while the entire territory of China, including Northeast China, Xinjiang, and Tibet, has only more than 96 million hectares. In other words, India, where we are now, has
The cultivated land area of the mainland is twice that of the great motherland that nourished us.
“Until before the Opium War, China’s successive dynasties claimed to have a vast territory and abundant resources, thinking that they occupied the center of the world, and regarded other countries and civilizations as barbarians. Now it seems that this is just looking at the sky from a well... We really
How big is the country? Before this world war broke out, Britain, France, Russia and other countries
The area of its colonies is far greater than ours, not to mention its rich resources. Since three-quarters of our land is mountainous and hilly areas that are not suitable for farming, and our land with abundant rainfall is all in the eastern monsoon zone, this
The area only accounts for about 40% of our total land area, once again leading to a significant reduction in cultivated land.
"Our population is the largest in the world, and the actual arable land per capita is actually very small. But now with this fertile plain, everything is different - the Chinese nation is the best at farming in the world, with South Hua Annan, Siam
More than 30 million hectares of land in the two places
With the land, the famine we are facing and at home will be easily solved. At the same time, we still have a large amount of strategic grain reserves in our material warehouses. If we now add the fertile fields of the subcontinent, Myanmar, and Malaya, even if the Chinese nation reproduces another two to three billion
There is no pressure on the population”
Gu Changfeng burst out laughing after hearing this: "How many people are there in the world now? If there are really two to three billion, I'm afraid the entire earth will be occupied by us Chinese."
An Yi knew that future generations would face the crisis of bombing. Now that the most fertile land and the largest oil resources in the world are in his own hands, it is really not sure where the long river of history will flow. He said with a smile:
"What are you talking about? We only care about the present. The future is far out of reach. How can we think so far ahead? But according to my idea, our Chinese nation must expand its population base to more than one billion, otherwise Siberia,
What should we use to develop the Far East and the Middle East?
“Only when we, the Chinese nation, become the well-deserved dominant nation in the land under our feet, can we truly claim to own it. Otherwise, no matter where we go, we won’t let others rise up to rebel against us, and we will have to leave in despair. So,
We still have to work hard, have more affection with our wives when we go back, and try to have a few more children."
An Yi's words caused laughter in the carriage.
Nalan Piaoxue glanced at An Yi coquettishly, but was met with a wink and tease from her sweetheart. She couldn't help but blush, and on the pretext of going to the bathroom, she hurriedly ran out of the carriage, causing a burst of laughter again.
An Yi and his party took a river destroyer of the Ganges Fleet with a displacement of 2,500 tons in Banana City (formerly Patna) and headed southeast down the Ganges River.
Zhou Jun, commander of the Ganges Fleet, and two colonels, political commissar Deng Baoshan, accompanied the whole process.
The destroyer sailed briskly and steadily downstream at a speed of forty kilometers per hour, and everyone was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Zhou Jun took the initiative to come to An Yi and reported:
"The water network in the Ganges River Basin is dense. When the rainy season comes, even Zizhu City in the northwest inland can be navigable directly to the sea. In the dry season, the river can only be navigable below Muyu City, and a ship of 2,500 tons must be passed.
It is strictly limited to the waters below Banana City...
"This area has developed shipping, and the tributaries of the Brahmaputra and Ganges rivers intersect, forming a convenient water transportation network. In the past, many water bandits occupied these areas, coupled with the armed groups composed of mobs who fled to various places after the collapse of the Japanese army, our Ganges
After the fleet was established, it immediately cooperated with local garrisons and public security armed police forces to vigorously eliminate these security risks. After more than half a year of suppressing bandits, the smooth flow of waterways was basically guaranteed."
An Yi nodded: "Both bandits and water bandits must be completely eliminated, otherwise the people will not be able to live and be happy. Inland river water transportation is very important for the development of industry and agriculture, and it has a positive significance for connecting north and south commerce. I will never allow the two sides of this river to
It has become a place where filth and evil people gather.”
Zhou Jun and Deng Baoshan responded in unison. Zhang Chengzhu and Li Jinlong also said that the Indian front army will conduct a large-scale training operation in the near future to carefully sort out all possible hidden dangers. The land of the subcontinent is flat. If you want to operate in such an area,
It is still relatively difficult to hide. As long as the war spreading in the Deccan Plateau in the south is extinguished, the northern region that has lost foreign aid will truly settle down.
Deng Baoshan then explained the performance of this inland river destroyer:
This destroyer is the "Kagero" class "Hatsuharu" destroyer captured from the Japanese Navy. It has a full load displacement of 2,500 tons, a crew of 350 people, and a 50-caliber 3-year-old G-type twin-mounted weapon.
There are three 127mm guns and two 25mm twin anti-aircraft cannons. After the capture, the Anjiajun Navy carried out modernization, dismantled the torpedo tubes and depth bomb launchers, and added a radar warning device, which greatly improved the performance of the ship.
Increase.
Currently, there are five similar destroyers and 20 gunboats performing patrol missions in the Ganges River Basin area.
Nalan Piaoxue briefly introduced the development of inland shipping in the Ganges River Basin.
As of last month, 16 shipping companies have been registered in the area, with more than 300 passenger and cargo ships of 2,500 tons and below operating. These ships mainly carry passengers and carry bulk cargo from various ports.
As a supplement, it runs on the river and sea route from Zizhu City to Manlong City (Sadia Port in Northeast India) or Chittagong. Due to the rapid recovery of industry and commerce in coastal cities, these enterprises are operating well.
An Yi said while admiring the fertile fields on both sides of the Taiwan Strait:
"Although it has only just been liberated, based on the good industrial foundation laid by the British in the local area, many factories and companies on both sides of the Ganges and Brahmaputra Rivers have resumed production. Many Chinese companies have also invested in building factories under the guidance of the government. Industrial zones are opening up one after another.
form.
"Water transportation is large in volume and low in price, which effectively reduces production costs. It is an important link in the economic operation of this region, including Nepal and Kashmir. In the future, we will increase investment and make full use of the canal system built by the British, supplemented by various
This kind of transportation and water conservancy hub can connect the north and south of the subcontinent using water transportation alone."
...
The passenger ship arrived at Sunshine Port (formerly Yangon) after two days of sailing.
An Yi and his party stayed in Sunshine City, the capital of Lishui Province, for a week. During this period, they met with representatives from all walks of life and visited the newly expanded Sunshine Shipyard and its affiliated docks in the port area, which can build 50,000-ton warships. They were built by the British in Biaobei Town in the south of the city.
There are large-scale refineries and petrochemical plants surrounding oil fields such as Yananqiang, as well as factories and enterprises such as food manufacturing plants that make full use of the abundant seafood in the waters of the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea.
An Yi fully expressed his affirmation that Yangguang City, which had been hit hard by earthquakes, tsunamis and military disasters in recent years, could quickly regain its vitality and vitality after the war. He encouraged the main leaders of the Military Control Commission to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, continue to work hard, and strive to turn Yangyang City into a
The vanguard of economic development in the two rivers (Irrawaddy and Salween) regions.
On October 22, after inspecting Mawlamyine, another famous port city in the Liangjiang region, An Yi and his party took a train, passed through the Three Pagodas Pass, crossed the Chao Phraya River plain, and arrived in Jingnan City (formerly Bangkok).
The urban construction of Jingnan City started under the tide of urban construction in Nanhua from north to south. With the introduction of pesticides, chemical fertilizers and tractors, the demand for rural manpower gradually decreased. Grain harvests were bumper every year, and young adults
They either enlisted in the army or invested in urban and rural infrastructure construction.
Like other cities, the construction of Jingnan New City started with underground pipelines. In early 1939, as the engineering corps troops were stationed one after another, He Jing, the Minister of the Ministry of Construction, ordered the construction of large-scale underground pipelines in Jingnan City.
The work began.
At first, people didn't understand.
Why dig such a deep trench when you have nothing to do? For a while, rumors were flying that Jingnan City might be threatened by Japanese landing operations. Later, when the prototype of the pipeline network began to take shape, the rumors were self-defeating.
The huge underground pipelines are all large pipe systems made of reinforced concrete. Cars can even run inside the main lines.
In fact, when the main pipeline was being built, large military trucks were used to transport the excavated soil. During the peak period of soil transportation, there was no problem for the two trucks to pass by each other. It took half a year to complete the construction of major underground pipelines.
Only then is the excavation and construction completed. After the underground pipelines are completed, the ground part is next. With the underground part of the project, the construction of the ground part becomes unusually simple.
Jingnan is completely built like a megacity. Each factory area has its own characteristics, but the residential areas are all the same, with seven floors of reinforced concrete.
By the middle of last year, after the Jingnan New City was completed, the Military Control Commission mobilized the citizens of the old residential areas to move there and then began to renovate the old city. The people were short of money and labor was needed for urban construction, so the idle labor force in the village or farm was organized and contracted
Engineering. During winter and summer vacations, students also do odd jobs at various construction sites to earn some living expenses and reduce the burden on their families.
Most of the projects are undertaken by construction companies of various groups with professional qualifications. Since the Ministry of Construction is very strict in terms of acceptance, and the Supervision Department and the Military Region Logistics Department will conduct random inspections at any time, there are no quality problems. Each construction company is completing the bidding process.
Very nerve-racking afterwards
Of course, the main project is completed by the company's construction team, but we don't know who to hand over the small projects, because many of the engineering teams we are looking forward to are grassroots teams without any qualifications, and they are against theft of building materials.
There are also questions about how people should deal with it.
It can be said that Nanhua's party, government and military system is building a new political system that is completely different from the past in a completely unfamiliar area. All people, including locals and immigrants, must slowly adapt to this new political system.
Although the farmers who came to work in cities after liberating the labor force were loyal supporters of the Nanhua government and the Anjiajun during the land reform, some of them stood against the government during the construction of urban projects.
It is very common to cut corners, falsely declare supplies, and pay and accept bribes when negotiating business. People who originally had nothing, but when they see the country's great strength and the mountains of supplies, it is almost an instinctive reaction to pick up a handful and line their own pockets, because they are afraid of poverty.
However, many people refuse to change their ways even after being educated. The result is that prisons, large and small, are filled with people without even realizing it.
This was not a problem in Jingnan City alone. This problem occurred throughout Nanhua at that time.
After suffering for many years and finally turning over, out of fear for the future, people hope to quickly accumulate materials and capital through various means to cope with any adverse environment. The so-called "the warehouse is full and the people know the honor and disgrace" actually means that after the people become rich,
, to be able to abide by the law.
This problem occurs not only for farmers who work in cities, but also in all walks of life across the country. After people become masters, they all want to make a fortune in this peaceful environment as much as possible, get rid of poverty, or go to work.
Go to a higher class to improve your living conditions.
Under this circumstance, starting last year, the central government began to carry out "anti-corruption, anti-waste, and anti-bureaucracy" among the staff of the party and government agencies in South China, and "anti-bribery, anti-bribery, and anti-bureaucracy" among industrial and commercial practitioners and migrant workers in cities.
"Anti-tax evasion, anti-theft of state property, anti-cutting of materials, and anti-theft of national economic intelligence", while increasing the publicity of existing laws and regulations to build public legal awareness.
According to the regulations, first-time offenders can be treated leniently as long as they undergo an in-depth examination and state that they "do not know the law." After violating the law again, they will be dealt with as appropriate, but most of them will be released after an in-depth education. For the third time, they will be released.
Those who commit crimes will be severely punished without mercy, and can be sentenced to up to eight years of hard labor, which is quite scary.
After severely punishing a group of criminals as a warning to others, the people knew that the government was serious about taking action. In their hearts, they compared the completely different lives before and after An Jiajun took over. Many people secretly cursed themselves for being obsessed, so they all followed the rules and maintained social order.
Things improved rapidly, and the construction in Jingnan was finally on the right track.
Although the renovation of the old city in Jingnan City has not yet been completed, it has already taken on a new look, which made the visiting An Yi and his delegation very satisfied.
On November 3, 1941, when An Yi and his party were preparing to leave for an inspection at the Dara Nuclear Base, news came from northern China. After more than a year of wasted time, Wang Jingwei finally formally established a puppet government, completely
has embarked on the path of being an enemy of the people.
