Chapter 554: Closing the Door and Beating the Dog (2)
In the past few days, the temperature in Shenyang has dropped sharply. In the early morning, frost covered the earth like a gauze, casting a cold veil over the world.
Although the sun is still trying hard to spread warmth, it can no longer resist the invasion of cold.
There was a buzzing sound in the air!
At 8 o'clock in the morning, at an altitude of 5000 meters, four B-24 bombers shuttled through the lead-gray clouds. After arriving at the designated location, the door at the bottom of the cabin suddenly opened, and millions of red pieces of paper poured down like snowflakes, tumbling and drifting in the cold wind.
When the paper fell to the ground, citizens of Shenyang and Kuomintang soldiers stationed there bent over to pick it up, their fingertips stroking the ink words on the rough paper.
"A letter to the defenders of Shenyang. Now that Liao's corps has been completely wiped out, there are only a few Kuomintang troops left in the Northeast. Our Northeast Field Army of one million does not want the war to ravage the city and harm innocent people. Except for a few extremely evil people, starting from 8 o'clock this morning, all defenders who lay down their arms within 24 hours will be treated as rebels, and those who lay down their arms within 48 hours will be treated as surrenders! Those who lay down their arms more than 48 hours later can only be treated as surrenders!"
In addition, the leaflets also warned the defenders not to plunder civilians’ property, not to kill innocent people, not to destroy public property, and many other regulations!
The leaflets were airdropped simultaneously in Shenyang, Yingkou and Huludao!
This time, the East China Field Army Headquarters, based on the advice of Director Chen, Yin Xinjun and many other comrades, tried not to conduct urban warfare, and focused on persuading the enemy to surrender and siege, because it is easy to destroy a city, but the cost of rebuilding it is very huge!
Therefore, after consulting with the superiors, they made a special exception. Otherwise, according to the current situation, it would be impossible to treat it according to the standards of an uprising!
Changchun City,
airport,
A C47 transport plane landed on the runway. This was a transport plane provided by the US military to the Kuomintang during the uprising. It is currently being reproduced and produced by the Mulan Arsenal!
After the cabin door opened,
Seeing the first person appear at the door, Mei Ping, deputy secretary of the Changchun Municipal Party Committee, who had been waiting on the runway for a long time, smiled brightly and waved her hand to greet him.
"Commander Yin, how come you have time to come here in person?"
The Changchun Municipal Committee submitted a report to its superiors, "Request for the Implementation of Work-for-Relief in Changchun!" Since there were too many unemployed people in Changchun, distributing food every day was not a solution. Mei Ping consulted Yin Xinjun and wrote this report, hoping to start construction of multiple projects in Changchun so that young people would have something to do and food to eat, so that society could be stable!
This report had been submitted for many days. After the Liao Corps was completely wiped out, the report was immediately approved. The situation in the Northeast has been initially determined. The next important task is to build the Northeast well, and even the new China!
After the report was approved, Mei Ping immediately called Yin Xinjun and asked Mulan Special Zone to send someone to provide guidance!
Of course Yin Xinjun had to come, not only to provide guidance, but also to take the lead. Because the production capacity of the Mulan Arsenal was insufficient, his idea was to immediately build the Changchun Arsenal and the Shenyang Arsenal!
Because the outbreak of the Korean War is still two years away, and time is running out!
But he couldn't say it out loud, so he could only start making preparations silently in advance!
The report he submitted has not yet received an official response, but he couldn't wait to come to Changchun to take a look first!
Yin Xinjun led everyone down the plane and introduced Mei Ping,
"Mei Ping, this is Director Wang Shuigen of our Mulan City Construction Bureau!"
"Hello, Mayor Mei!"
"Hello, Director Wang, thank you for coming over to give us your guidance!"
Then Yin Xinjun introduced Jiang Hailiang, director of the Mulan City Supply and Marketing Bureau, Chen Yuemin, general manager of the Municipal Construction Corporation, Pang Wei, general manager of the Mulan City Electric Power Company, Shenyang, director of the Mulan City Architectural Design Institute, and Zhao Taihua, deputy director of the Mulan Arsenal!
Most of the people who brought in were from the construction industry.
Mei Ping greeted him warmly, and when she looked at Zhao Taihua, she felt a little surprised. What were these people from the arsenal doing here?
The group got into the two jeeps and a truck brought by Mei Ping and headed towards the city government!
While in the car, looking at the crowds on the street, Mei Ping said worriedly,
"Commander Yin, look, the streets are full of idle people, and the unemployment rate has reached 70%. Some of the factories that were left were destroyed by the Soviets, and the resumption rate is less than %. I am very worried!"
Yin Xinjun nodded and said confidently,
"I'm here to tell you one thing. Mulan Special District will fully support you and be your strong backing! This is actually very simple. Let's start with the infrastructure and build a batch of factories at the same time!"
Mei Ping smiled bitterly.
"There isn't much money in the Changchun municipal government's account right now. We rely on grants from above to pay our salaries. We are lucky to have enough to eat. The most common business for Changchun residents now is to buy goods from you and then sell them in various counties and towns in Changchun!"
Yin Xinjun said,
"I can teach you a trick about money. Issue infrastructure bonds and pay a certain amount of interest every year to get money from the rich. If no one subscribes, then we, the Mulan Special District, will cover the bottom line!"
Issuing local bonds is a tried and tested tactic used by local governments in the past. First, revitalize the economy, and then sell land to repay the debt. Of course, there must be some distinctions. A metropolis like Changchun naturally has unique conditions for economic development, so there is no need to worry too much!
Besides, Yin Xinjun is there to back him up. Mulan County was once poor, but it has been turned into a leading special economic zone in Northeast China, let alone a place like Changchun!
Mei Ping's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately felt that it was a bit novel.
"This might be a good idea. I'll ask the city's finance director how to do this later!"
The motorcade arrived at the municipal government, and Mei Ping also called several heads of relevant functional departments to hold a symposium.
Yin Xinjun said,
"Immediately start a number of projects to provide work-for-relief, which has been a practice since ancient times. It will keep idle people busy and help them earn money to support their families, so that they can see hope!
Of course, this is just an initial approach, and our ultimate goal is to build a number of large factories, such as power plants, chemical plants, and military factories!
Now the liberation of Northeast China should be just around the corner, but 70% of the cities and land in the country have not been liberated. Even if the whole country is liberated and the new China is established, we will still face many enemies. Therefore, military enterprises are still the top priority of our development. In addition, my idea is to build a number of heavy industries, such as automobile manufacturing plants, agricultural machinery manufacturing plants, engine plants, etc.!"
Yin Xinjun came straight to the point and stated his real purpose! The products of these factories will be sold nationwide in the future, and the production capacity of Mulan Special Zone alone will definitely not be enough!
Mei Ping and the other participants were all surprised. They did not expect Yin Xinjun to come up with such a grand plan.
Mei Ping said cautiously,
"The arsenal is not under the jurisdiction of our local government. What about other factories? We are now severely short of personnel and equipment! It's very difficult!"
Yin Xinjun smiled and said,
"Don't worry about the arsenal. I've also reported to the headquarters. We in Mulan Special Zone can provide free assistance in terms of personnel and equipment. I say this because I hope you can expand your vision and take a long-term view to build Changchun into a first-class industrial base in the country!"
Since the machine tool production line was put into operation, combined with the production capacity of the space, 600 machine tools can be supplied every day. Yin Xinjun can't wait to promote the industrialization of the entire Northeast, starting with the arsenal, especially the production of aircraft and related parts!
The report that Yin Xinjun submitted to the headquarters was to build an arsenal in Changchun and Shenyang respectively, and the construction would start in the early spring. The headquarters would start studying this matter as soon as the last remaining enemies were resolved in the next few days!
Mei Ping was immediately excited.
"Commander, what do you mean? All personnel and equipment will be provided by the Mulan Special Zone? We are only responsible for building the factory building?"
"It's the main personnel. We can send the main technical personnel, accounting for up to 5%. You still need to figure out other supporting personnel on your own!"
In the conference room, several people were talking to each other.
Mei Ping said,
"This is great! Changchun's employment problem can be solved!"
"By the way, let me add that for Dehui, Jiutai, Huaide and other counties that were severely damaged in the early stages of the battle, we also need to consider re-planning and building new urban areas, which can also be included in the work-for-relief project!" Yin Xinjun said another thing!
The entire conference room burst into applause! During the war, the common people suffered the most. Yin Xinjun's move could be said to be a compensation for these people!
