Beiyang reactionaries

In September 1944, before the start of the new year's Asian Joint Conference, China would declare war on Japan.The meeting also discussed issues related to post-war India, post-war Southeast Asia, post-war Japan, post-war Pacific issues, and even Australia.

But it didn't go too deep, just talked about it in general.

Because this was the first time that China, the United States and Britain discussed the Far East issue, many specific issues were not covered.But this kind of thing has one thing and two things. The meeting between China, the United States and Britain this time can be regarded as the first step.There are many questions below, including how to cooperate. The three countries will leave their contacts and continue to discuss.The diplomats and staff of the military departments of the three countries will continue to consult.

After the Alma-Ata meeting ended, Roosevelt and Churchill returned to their respective countries.And Duan Xun came to Yili to see the current construction of Xinjiang and meet with the leaders of Xinjiang.Mainly to meet Deng Yanda, Governor of Xinjiang Province.

Deng Yanda is one of Duan Xun's intended successors. Of course, Duan Xun wants to see how he is doing in Xinjiang.After arriving in Yili, Duan Xun first inspected the Xinjiang Construction Corps.

Overall very satisfied.

In the current Xinjiang, if the Construction Corps is stabilized, then the situation in Xinjiang will stabilize.Because the officers and soldiers of the Xinjiang Construction Corps and their families account for half of Xinjiang's population.In the Stable Construction Corps, the officers and soldiers of the Stable Construction Corps have taken root in Xinjiang, and Deng Yanda has done a very good job.

Deng Yanda adopted many methods, and the results were very good.

The first is to join the army, not just wives, but parents and brothers can join the army.After all, it is the Construction Corps, which is different from the field army in many ways.In order for the officers and soldiers of the Construction Corps to take root in Xinjiang, as long as their family members are willing to come to Xinjiang, the Construction Corps will arrange for them.And according to different situations, they will also find some jobs for these family members.Either it is directly arranged within the Construction Corps, or it is arranged for work related to the Construction Corps.This alone has stabilized countless people, allowing them to take root in Xinjiang with peace of mind.Moreover, the rapid increase in the population size of Xinjiang Province can be regarded as another immigration frontier.

The second is to recruit female soldiers from all provinces across the country.

Being able to serve as a soldier in this era is a decision made in rural areas.If it was said before that "a good man should not be a soldier", then being able to serve as a soldier and eat food is definitely something that many rural people are very envious of.

Not to mention female soldiers.

Although Duan Xun vigorously promotes equality between men and women, patriarchy is still very common in rural areas.Being able to let girls serve as soldiers and earn allowances, how can there be such a good thing.Therefore, the recruitment of female soldiers went very smoothly.

The purpose of recruiting so many female soldiers is actually to stabilize the male soldiers of the Construction Corps and to solve their personal life problems.Only when men get married and have families in Xinjiang can they stabilize.Xinjiang is a typical place where there are more men than women, and large-scale recruitment of women soldiers to improve the ratio of men to women is a must.In this regard, all provinces have given great support, because the recruitment of female soldiers does not affect the interests of the provinces.

In just four years, Xinjiang has added more than 100 million young women in Xinjiang in the name of female soldiers.

The third is to adopt the local conscription strategy.

In the establishment of the Construction Corps, a lot of places have been reserved for local ethnic groups in Xinjiang.In order to allow more ethnic groups to live together and reduce the proportion of local ethnic groups.In the four years since Deng Yanda came to Xinjiang, he quickly stabilized the situation in Xinjiang and stabilized the Construction Corps.Overall, Duan Xun is very satisfied.

After inspecting the Construction Corps, Duan Xun came to Yili, the new capital of Xinjiang.

Compared with Dihua (Urumqi), the capital of Xinjiang for many years, Yili is still in the construction stage.However, after inspecting Yili, Duan Xun is quite satisfied with the current situation in Yili.

"Ili is well built."

"There are still many shortcomings."

Deng Yanda expressed his position very modestly.

"Don't underestimate yourself. You have been in Xinjiang for four years, and you should know a lot about Xinjiang. Tell me about your next plan for Xinjiang?"

751

"Chairman, after several years of understanding, the provincial government does have its own plan for Xinjiang."

Deng Yanda did not flinch at this time, and confidently showed Duan Xun his thoughts.

Duan Xun regards Deng Yanda as one of his successors. Although he didn't say it explicitly, many people can feel it.After all, Deng Yanda has reached his current position step by step.Now he is the youngest alternate member of the Standing Committee of the People's Party.

Among the more than 20 members and alternate members of the People's Party Central Committee, most of them are the same age as Duan Xun, or older than Duan Xun. It should be said that everyone is of the same generation.But Deng Yanda is seven years younger than Duan Xun, which is very different.Coupled with the fact that Deng Yanda is the governor of such an important province in Xinjiang, his position is very prominent at once.

At the level of Deng Yanda, what is needed now is political achievements.You must have outstanding achievements in order to be able to take on the important task of successor.So Deng Yanda boldly talked about his plan and showed his ability.Deng Yanda pointed to the map of Xinjiang and said, "Chairman, I will introduce our future plans for Xinjiang by dividing them into primary industry, secondary industry, and tertiary industry."

"Industry classification? Have you read Fisher's book?"

"Yes."

Deng Yanda nodded and said, "Chairman, I suggest that after the war, my country's economic surveys and economic plans can also learn from Fisher's industrial classification."

Fisher is an Australian economist.

In his book "The Conflict of Security and Progress" written in 1935, he first began to classify industries, which is the division of primary industry, secondary industry, and tertiary industry that everyone has been talking about since then.

At present, China has departments specialized in translating foreign works.

Fisher's book was also translated.Deng Yanda obviously read this book, that's why he said that.Duan Xun has not read this book, but he has introduced this book to Duan Xun and others, think tanks who give lectures to high-level government officials.Like Deng Yanda, he suggested that the government can adopt some of Fisher's theories in the book.

"It can be considered. You continue to talk."

"Chairman, let me start with the primary industry. As the saying goes, no agriculture is unstable, and agriculture has always been the most important job of the provincial government. In the past four years, the provincial government has paid attention to Xinjiang, including the recently recovered Almaty, The agricultural land in Aktoka City has been surveyed in detail. At present, we have about 9 million mu of agricultural land in Xinjiang, but most of it is pasture land and forest fruit land, accounting for about 92%. Therefore, Xinjiang’s livestock Industry and fruit production are very developed. Xinjiang currently has about 3200 million livestock, and wool output of more than 3.4 tons. There are still about 7000 million mu of arable land, mainly for growing grain and cotton. The grain sown area is about 6700 square meters 300 mu, including wheat, potatoes, and vegetables. Cotton sown area is about [-] million mu.”

"Let me talk about grain production again. Xinjiang mainly grows wheat, and the main food producing areas are the Ili River Valley, Almaty City, the central area of ​​Akduka City, and the Aksu and Kashgar areas in southern Xinjiang. Especially the Ili Valley and the The quality of cultivated land in Almaty and Aktoka is very good. It is mainly black land and there is no shortage of irrigation water, so the yield per mu is very high. The average yield of wheat per mu is about 240 kg. The output reached about 170 billion jin. Last year, we planted potatoes in Almaty, and the yield per mu exceeded 700 kg, reaching about 1500 jin. The current potato planting area in Xinjiang is about 100 million mu, all of which are concentrated in Almaty. In Tushi, last year’s output exceeded 15 billion jin. Our provincial government’s plan is that the province’s potato planting area will exceed 1000 million mu, and the output will be 150 billion jin. Moreover, Xinjiang has become the largest cotton producing area in China. This year’s cotton output should be In more than 220 million loads, 2.2 million catties."

"But this is just the beginning. Our provincial government's plan is to increase the yield of wheat per mu to about 500 kilograms, and the yield of potatoes to 1000 kilograms per mu, so that the grain output of our province will exceed 300 billion kilograms, which can feed 1 million people. And Increase the cotton yield per mu to more than 100 kilograms, and the annual cotton output can exceed 3 million catties."

"There are also Almaty's water network, and Balkhash Lake, so the fishery in this area has very broad prospects. However, we currently lack population, so we have not been able to develop fisheries on a large scale. But in the next few years In time, we are ready to develop fishery on a large scale, making fishery an effective supplement to Xinjiang's primary industry."

Duan Xun nodded.

Looking at the report on the development of Xinjiang's primary industry handed over by Deng Yanda, he nodded repeatedly.

Xinjiang itself has a lot of arable land. After swallowing the east side of Lake Balkhash, agricultural development has embarked on a fast track.The territory recovered by China is mainly Almaty and East Kazakhstan in the later Kazakhstan.

The land in Almaty State is very good, and it is a very good quality black land.In the original history, that place was also the best grain producing area in Kazakhstan and the most important granary in Central Asia.Now it has fallen into the hands of China, which of course has brought great development to Xinjiang's agriculture.And here is not only an important granary, but also the fishery here has very broad prospects.

The Xinjiang provincial government has thought of all these things.

From the perspective of the primary industry, the food problem in Xinjiang has been solved very well.Not to mention feeding the current population in Xinjiang, even adding tens of millions of people would not be a problem at all.As long as Xinjiang's primary industry develops, it can even support Tangnu Wulianghai, protect Tibet, and still have the ability to export.

In addition to the grain planting industry, Xinjiang's cotton production is also increasing every year, providing China with the best quality cotton.There is also animal husbandry in Xinjiang.Xinjiang's animal husbandry is no less than that of Outer Mongolia and Hulunbuir.The wool provided by Xinjiang every year is no less than that of Mongolia.

"Look at the secondary industry in our province. At present, the secondary industry in our province is mainly mining. The provincial government's plan is to build a group of mining enterprises in Xinjiang, covering oil, coal, iron ore, and copper , gold mines. And rely on these mining industries to create a secondary industry suitable for Xinjiang. The next plan of Xinjiang Province is to rely on the Karamay Oilfield to build the Karamay Petrochemical Base, and rely on the Akdouka Copper Mine to build the Akdouka Copper Smelting Base , Relying on the Dihua Coal Mine to build the Dihua Coal Chemical Industry Base. Create three important industrial cities of Dihua, Karamay and Akdoka.”

"As for the tertiary industry, the most important thing now is to build the two Central Asian trade centers of Ili and Almaty. For this purpose, speed up the construction of Ili, the provincial capital of Xinjiang, and speed up the construction of transportation within Xinjiang."

"Ah."

Border areas, especially places like Xinjiang, have weak foundations, and there are many problems in wanting to develop rapidly.The Xinjiang provincial government has performed very well in stabilizing the situation in Xinjiang and allowing Xinjiang to develop so much.

The development plan of the Xinjiang provincial government is not aimless, but very planned.Overall, Duan Xun is still very satisfied with this report.

"Any questions?"

"Chairman, of course there are many problems. The biggest problems are lack of people, lack of money, and poor education foundation. In the ten-year development plan of our provincial government, Yili will not only become the political center, education center, transportation center, and trade center of Xinjiang, It must also become the financial center and machinery processing center of Xinjiang. Especially the development of agriculture, animal husbandry and mining in Xinjiang will inevitably require the development of the transportation industry. The development of these fields requires a large number of agricultural machinery, mining equipment, and processing equipment , and means of transportation. If these things are purchased from other provinces, it will not only take time and effort, but also require a lot of money. Therefore, the best way is to build a processing industry center in Yili, and Xinjiang can manufacture these equipments by itself. Manufacture agricultural machinery and transport vehicles suitable for Xinjiang. However, the development of these industries requires a lot of funds, which cannot be afforded by a single province in Xinjiang, and must have the support of the central government.”

"This kind of problem does not only exist in your Xinjiang."

Duan Xun nodded.

Walking to the wall, there is a map of China hanging there.Duan Xun sighed and said, "Shipping is the cheapest and most effective means of transportation in the world. So you can see that the provinces and cities with the strongest economy in China are all places where shipping is developed. In recent years, our shipping After the start of development, the cities near the sea also began to develop. The northeast port Dalian, the North China port Tianjin, the Shandong port Qingdao, the Yangtze River Delta region headed by Shanghai at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the Pearl River Delta with the Zhuhai mouth as the core, the economic development is very rapid. The eastern The development of the coastal provinces is already unstoppable. Including the Red River Delta area in our Annan Province, which has natural geographical advantages, it will inevitably develop rapidly in the future.”

Shipping, let alone now, will still be the most important means of transportation in the world even after 100 years.

Therefore, places where shipping can be developed have relatively good development potential.
