The Red War God of Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 333 Doing things according to the rules

The central government arranged 1939 super-large projects in 189, and the provinces were naturally unwilling to lag behind. After the governors of the provinces were in place, they reported their respective projects to the Government Administration Council, whether they wanted to please Wu Aihua or really for local development. planning.

For example, Yang Sen, governor of Sichuan, reported 33 large-scale projects in one go, and the Government Affairs Council sent them to Wu Aihua for review after giving instructions one by one.After reading the signed report sent by Zhou NL, Wu Aihua also added a comment: "It is both step-by-step and rapid development, both overall planning and focus, good!"

Wu Aihua was very pleased to see Sichuan's development report. Compared with some officials in later generations, the level of officials at this time was really not low.Yang Sen's report is very detailed. At least in terms of construction time, there are words such as "this year", "next year" and "within five years". It is placed in the first article, which is very in line with the reality of Sichuan.It is less than 150 kilometers from Chengdu to Leshan, and the difficulty of road construction is low. If it is built in the same year, it can be completed in the same year.Leshan, on the other hand, is connected by the Minjiang River and the Yangtze River. In this era, motor ships of at least 500 tons can pass through, which is not a small capacity. Of course, the construction of waterways and wharfs in Leshan and Sichuan will follow.

This is the top priority, traffic, know everything!What people make the best use of their talents, make the best use of things, and the smooth flow of goods, the easiest to see the effect is the smooth flow of goods!

"Talent, talent!" Wu Aihua exclaimed, remembering the Sichuan report.

After Wu Aihua took over the central government, he basically did not make any changes to the bureaucratic system of the provinces. Some warlords or "independent kingdoms" who did not obey the central government were dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek. In addition, Chiang only collected taxes from the local government. , Only knowing the appointment of direct descendants has caused the phenomenon of "warlord separatism".

In fact, when the time entered 1938, Chen Jitang's political "lobbyists" had already gone to the provinces to "lobby" and accommodated the reasonable demands of the local governments as much as possible.However, Chen Jitang also "strongly" expressed the views of the Wu Aihua Group: first, the military and government must be separated, and when the new central government is formed, it must express its attitude; Influence, but after that, you have to act in accordance with the unified government decrees, decrees and military orders of the country; third, if you can’t do the above two points, it’s best to announce your resignation, and you can engage in business, investigation, and parliamentary activities, and you can still be famous as a celebrity in the Republic of China Through the ages!Fourth, if you want to confront the central government, the National Defense Forces have always been decisive. Yin Rugeng of the North China Autonomous Government is his example.

It is also because of this that the warlords who had been entrenched in various places for a long time, especially in the southwest, handed over power smoothly in this change.In Guangxi, Huang Shaohong served as the governor, and Li Delin and Bai Jiansheng entered the central government; in Yunnan, Long Yun served as the governor, and his troops will be taken over and reorganized by the Southwest Front Army; in Sichuan, Liu Xiang was seriously ill and temporarily withdrew from the political arena; Deng Xihou, Pan Wenhua and Li Jiayu entered the army, of which Deng Xihou served as the commander of the 23rd Army, Pan Wenhua served as the deputy commander of the new 8th Army, Li Jiayu served as the deputy commander of the 18th Army; and Liu Wenhui, Wu Aihua suggested that he continue to serve as the commander of the Xikang Provincial Army. Governor, fortunately, Liu Wenhui also understands the current situation, so he can only suppress any discomfort in his heart, and the governor of Sichuan Province is Yang Sen.

Historically, Liu Xiang, Yang Sen, Deng Xihou, Pan Wenhua, Li Jiayu, etc. were all famous anti-Japanese generals; Liu Xiang died of illness in 1938, let alone Yang Sen, who led the Sichuan Army to participate in the Battle of Songhu, more than 18000 people Participated in the war, with more than 7000 casualties, and Yang Sen's troops were as brave and good at fighting as the German 88th Division and the Tax Police Headquarters at that time, and were known as one of the "five most capable divisions".

Since then, Yang Sen led his troops to participate in the Battle of Nanchang in 1938, the first Battle of Changsha in 1939, the second and third Battle of Changsha in 1941, the Battle of Changheng and the Battle of Guiliu in 1944, and the Battle of Guiliu in 20. Among them, the two armies he led at that time (the 26th Army and the 7000th Army) were beaten to only 1937 people, not as good as a division in [-], which shows that the Sichuan Army's war of resistance was tragic.Since then, Yang Sen has resigned from the military and served as the governor of Guizhou Province.

Yang Sen was able to fight and knew how to fight. Wu Aihua originally wanted to keep Yang Sen in the army for development, but when seeking the opinions of several people in Sichuan, the others expressed their willingness to stay in the army, while Yang Sen expressed his obedience to the central arrangement.

In fact, Yang Sen is also an all-rounder, so he served as the governor of Sichuan.

Another shining provincial chief executive is Yan Xishan.After Yan Xishan learned that several generals of the former Jinsui Army had received better arrangements, he offered to contribute to the improvement of Shanxi's people's livelihood.

Yan Xishan, not to mention his political orientation, is indeed a "big talent" in commanding the army and improving people's livelihood. He even wrote a book, "Property Securities and Distribution According to Work", It can be seen that the term "distribution according to work" is not a special term for any doctrine.

In the history of the Republic of China, Yan Xishan managed Shanxi quite well. On the eve of the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Yan Xishan not only built the 860-kilometer-long Tongpu Railway, but also formed mining, steel, coal mining, power generation, and machinery in Shanxi. , chemical industry, weapons, wool spinning, leather, papermaking, cigarettes, matches and other industrial systems, with a total asset of 2 million silver dollars. Although it is not enough to compete with Jiangnan capital, it is also among the best in all provinces.

The three-year outlines promulgated by various ministries and commissions of the Government Administration Council are generally projects with overall significance, and most of the projects in various provinces revolve around these large projects.After Yan Xishan had a comprehensive understanding of the construction outline of the Government Administration Council, he believed that Shanxi had an opportunity for development, so he proposed to the central government a request for as many as 45 construction projects.

These projects are mainly the construction and upgrading of the road network (many railways in Shanxi) that run across the mountain from south to west, north to east, and the establishment of Datong Mining Group, Taiyuan Iron and Steel Group, Taiyuan Ordnance Industry Group, Houma Mining Group, North China University, North China Institute of Mining, etc.

"This Yan Laoxi is really smart!" Wu Aihua gave such an evaluation after reading Shanxi's report.The projects Yan Xishan wants are not only Shanxi's top priority, but also projects advocated and supported by the new government. In Yan Xishan's view, there is no reason why these projects should not be approved.

Approval by the central government is inevitable, but not necessarily according to Yan Xishan's intention.For example, this North China University will not approve it.Wu Aihua emphasized during the discussion with the education team Fu Sinian and other educational figures: in principle, comprehensive universities cannot be built by local governments, because the central government must take into account the national education layout and issues related to education fairness; and the provinces’ higher education As a result, it is mainly manifested in the establishment of specialized colleges. This kind of specialized colleges is often proposed by the provincial government according to the actual industrial conditions of the province. support.

In a post-meeting chat with Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang was amazed by Wu Aihua's "performance" across the country after he came to power. Chiang Kai-shek asked at that time: "Brother Watson (Wu Aihua finally has words, haha), I don't understand. At present Compared with the past, the New Deal has not changed much, but why are there so many changes in various places? Could it be that they are all dissatisfied with me, Lao Jiang?"

"Jiegong (give enough respect), you are right. Compared with the past, the current New Deal is really not that different. However, the New Deal has several characteristics: first, establish the authority of the central government; Meat; third, balanced interests; fourth, equal opportunities. What do you think of my analysis?"

"Then, why did some guys make trouble for democracy/democracy every day?" Chiang Kai-shek was very confused.

"Because in the past system, they had no power, no money, and no opportunity. Some still had some faith and knowledge, and some even had excuses. If they didn't make trouble, it would be unreasonable!" Wu Aihua said.

"Hahaha, brother Watson, I understand!" Chiang Kai-shek laughed three times, as if he had a sense of enlightenment.

"Please forgive me for your vulgar opinion." Wu Aihua did not dare to be proud.

Wu Aihua is a staunch nationalist, but for the nation does not mean not eating fireworks.In the course of history, those who have made great contributions to the nation should get more benefits. This is also the so-called "distribution according to work", that is, social fairness.Assuming that the whole of China is a huge interest pie, how to divide it has to be careful.The distribution of the later celestial dynasties was too ideal, so the distribution problem was not resolved in the end, but was exploited by interest groups.

In Wu Aihua's view, as long as you do things, as long as you have the ability, you will be allowed to do things, if your conduct is not bad, you will be allowed to do bigger things; With profit.

Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice in later generations, announced that he would donate 50 yuan to the research center after winning the 45 yuan National Science and Technology Award, and he only took 10%. It means that society has problems.

How much is 50?It is not enough for the down payment of a house in Shanghai, which is only equivalent to a small house in a third-tier city. Although Yuan and others have welfare housing, do his children also have it?Can't he buy a house for his children?However, in that atmosphere, he dare not!

If Yuan used all of the 50 yuan for personal use, what would his leadership think?What do his colleagues think?This is also the reason why some winners treat guests after winning, and the bonuses are not even enough for the dinner.Because people are used to dawdling and eating in big pots, whoever is better will not be able to do it, and whoever is better will be besieged by others!

But the other extreme is power-for-money transactions, collusion between officials and businessmen, and interest groups wantonly invading the interests of the country and the people. A few bottles of oil, electricity, banks, and roads have kidnapped billions of people.

With the ending of playing those fake things, but being kidnapped by interest groups in the end, Wu Aihua might as well have established the rules from the beginning!Individuals can get rich, have power, and be famous, but they have to follow the rules!
