Heihe Base…
Liao Mingyu stood on the roof of the building, overlooking the forest in front of him. The main building was on a higher ground, and his field of vision could cover most of the base. This has also become his favorite place for quiet solitude.
"Oh, it's the 29th..."
With a sigh, a rare melancholy appeared on Liao Mingyu's face. He calculated that it would be 1945 in two days, and the world structure would be redefined in more than half a year. He didn't have much time left.
Nowadays, the construction of the base is gradually improving, and all the basic industrial facilities have been built. In addition to the military management area, a new residential area has been built near the mine.
Over time, the residential area originally used to house miners' families gradually formed the scale of a village and town, and at the same time attracted a large number of nearby people to gather here.
More and more people in central Myanmar have learned that there is such a place where they can live and work in peace and contentment without being persecuted by war. Once there, people will send you supplies, help you build a house, and even provide you with a job. It is simply a paradise.
Currently, more than 30,000 people live here, and this number is still growing. The original residential area is also expanding. In three months, it has turned into a lively town covering five or six square kilometers. There is even a tendency to develop into a small city.
The town starts near the mining area and extends along the plain to near the Heihe River. The terrain here is flat and there is a large river ensuring sufficient water sources. It is very suitable for farming and planting, which is one of the reasons for the rapid development here.
Due to the increase in population, a series of people's livelihood facilities have to be built, as well as public security, transportation, and medical care. These are all matters that need to be arranged.
Now I am very busy. Although the frontline is still fighting, the basic livelihood construction in the rear is also a top priority. The top management of the 88th Army gradually divided into two systems. Fan Shaozeng took the initiative to retreat to the second line and began to form a provisional government to manage the interior of the base area. Various administrative matters.
If you want to carry out construction, you need a lot of manpower. Apart from the recruited laborers and volunteers organized by the people, the only thing left is to rely on the army to fill the gap.
The front-line troops have been in front-line battles for a long time and cannot be separated, and the guard regiment is responsible for base defense, which cannot be missed. At this time, the raw melon eggs in the recruit camp have become the best candidates. In addition to military training, they usually do The biggest thing is to participate in local construction.
Liao Mingyu planned to unify them into a construction corps before decentralizing them to combat units. While training, they would also be responsible for the reconstruction work and daily defense work in various parts of Mandalay.
Building roads, building houses, renovating farmland... These guys have become all-rounders. Let them help civilians rebuild their homes. They can also establish a collective military-civilian integration development strategy to make the people more trust the new "big boss" of the expeditionary force.
Liao Mingyu even did not hesitate to install a push bucket in front of the tank and transform it into a bulldozer for road construction. The tank factory is also working hard to produce wheeled trucks and join the engineering team of the Construction Corps.
In just a few months, the Heihe area has been completely transformed. Not only have a large number of houses and factories been built, but also several wide roads and water diversion canals have been built. The large golden rice fields in the fields indicate a bumper harvest this year. .
In addition, medical and health care is also a key point, especially the health situation of some local indigenous people is extremely poor. Most of them have more or less physical problems, such as dysentery, leprosy, and even some tropical infectious diseases. It will also bring some trouble to the people inside the base.
Liao Mingyu was the one who despised the suffering of the people the most. He immediately arranged to build a health hospital in the residential area. Some of the manpower was transferred from the field hospitals of various troops. In addition, some medical staff recruited from China were recruited to help the residents solve their medical problems. .
"Junzuo..."
Ding Xiaoer's voice came from behind. The boy took three steps at a time and rushed up from the stairs quickly.
"What's the matter? You're in a hurry." Liao Mingyu glanced back and asked.
"Jun Zuo, the Third Division Medical Assistance Team has arrived at the base area, and that...sister-in-law is also among them. Why don't you go over and take a look first?"
Liao Mingyu's eyes lit up when he heard this, because among the medical staff who were transferred back, there was someone he cared about very much.
Xiaozui...that innocent and stubborn silly girl, has followed the army from north to south since she entered the medical department of the Honorable Third Division. During this period, she has been staying in Li Lei's field medical team to save lives and heal the wounded on the front line.
In fact, Liao Mingyu still had some selfish motives. When he recaptured Nankan some time ago, he originally wanted to transfer Xiaozui there. It was safer than being on the front line. This country was in such chaos that wars were going on almost every day. Who could guarantee that something would go wrong? Not out either.
But the girl was very stubborn and would rather stay on the front line and suffer hardship than go to the rear to enjoy it. As a result, Liao Mingyu had no choice but to sternly tell Long Wenwen and Li Lei that they must protect the safety of the military medical team.
If it weren't for the large number of medical staff needed in the base area this time, and the dignitaries named by Liao Mingyu, the girl might not be willing to come over.
"Ahem, don't worry about this now, what about...have all the people sent to Zenda come back?"
Liao Mingyu suppressed the turmoil in his heart, coughed in a pretentious manner, and changed the topic calmly. You still need to have the dignity of a commander. No matter what you do, you can’t let a kid like you see a joke.
"Oh... they have arrived in Mandalay. Don't worry. Captain Gong of the third battalion went to pick them up in person. It's just that Mr. Meng suffered a bump on the road and is unwilling to continue moving. He may have to stay in Mandalay for a few more days. It's day..." Ding Xiaoer reported truthfully.
Now that the base area has been successfully established, the situation is slowly developing in many places, and the relationship with domestic high-level officials is already in a very delicate state, which has to force Liao Mingyu to take some actions.
Some time ago, he specially sent a team of people back to Zenda to pick up the families of several old brothers. On the one hand, he would let his brothers have no worries, and on the other hand... it was to avoid being raped by those in the country. Help others take advantage of loopholes.
After all, the old brothers under him are basically in important positions, and there are some things that have to be guarded against. Don't wait until you are really embarrassed and threatened by others. You must know that the man in Chongqing did many assassinations and kidnappings in the later stages of the war. thing.
"Haha, Meng is annoyed that I am still so difficult to take care of. Just let him go. Anyway, just send him to Heihe safely."
Liao Mingyu shook his head helplessly. Everyone knew Mr. Meng's temper. He could imagine how difficult it was along the way. Captain Gong, who was leading the team, probably had to strain his teeth every day.
Although the entire Mandalay Province is under the control of Liao Mingyu, compared with other places, the Heihe base is obviously better than Mandalay or Meiktila in terms of geographical location and industrial facilities. Not to mention that those places are still in half ruins waiting for reconstruction, it is better to bring people here than anywhere else.
"Ding... battle report reminder... the Chiang Mai battle is over. Congratulations to the host for winning the final victory of this battle. The battle situation is as follows..."
He was originally going to the hospital to visit the beauty he had not seen for a long time, but unexpectedly, the system prompt sounded in his mind. Liao Mingyu took a deep breath and immediately turned around and walked towards the main control room:
"You go over to make arrangements for the medical team first. I have to go to the command room. No one is allowed to disturb without my order..."
"It's Junzuo!"
