Since Operation Engine has been carried out, the population that has been purified previously has been distributed according to this distribution ratio, and there are people going in all directions. Each department doesn't know how many more people will come in the future, so naturally there won't be much dispute over the allocation. Even if there is, it will be easier to accept the explanation from the Planning Institute - everyone has the hope that "there will be people later who can make up for it." .
At this time, the contradictions in the struggle for manpower that have been avoided in the past will explode with the release of the internal communiqué. Locked in Yang Yun's safe is a status table of the population status of engines and things that have been distributed to various departments so far. The agricultural department is currently divided The largest number of people arrived, so the possibility of Wu Nanhai Jitu getting another 120,000 people is extremely small. Yang Yun's plan is to divide him among 50,000 people.
He estimated that there would be a big backlash from Wu Nanhai: not only because the "final allocation" was less than half of what he had hoped for, but the army would also pull a group of people away from him in the future.
The Agricultural Committee is used by the human resources department as a reservoir for immigrants. Immigrants who have just come out of the purification camp are used as agricultural workers in the Agricultural Committee before a specific way out is arranged. In particular, in some departments, because the factory cannot be put into production in time, or a certain project does not require additional labor for the time being, the labor originally planned to be invested will be temporarily handed over to the Committee of Agriculture for use.
A considerable part of the large population currently allocated to the Council of Agriculture is such a "temporary population." As the First Five-Year Plan enters its final two years, some key projects are about to be completed. A large number of industrial workers will be recruited from the agricultural population, and he also faces another competitor. That's the military - specifically the Army.
The Army has not carried out a major expansion since the victory in the second counter-encirclement and suppression campaign. The current several battalions are fragmented and divided into multiple detachments. The detachments are scattered in isolated strongholds stretching thousands of kilometers from Jeju in the north to Hongji, Vietnam in the south. Distribute troops everywhere and set up defenses everywhere. Some units have been deployed for nearly two years and have been separated from their original organizational structure for too long. They have been performing various security duties for a long time, which has a great impact on regular training and military training. Although some auxiliary units were established to replace them, the improvement was not significant - in the final analysis, there was still a shortage of personnel.
The planned establishment of the National Army was due to the small population in the southern counties. After the start of Operation Engine, the formation of county squadrons was barely completed by relying on immigrants. The situation in the northern counties is slightly better, but compared to the population of each county, the establishment of the squadron is too small. The opinion put forward by the General Staff is that the northern counties should be organized into county brigades. Only three squadrons in each brigade can basically meet the needs.
In the past, due to the lack of horses and livestock, the army's field and fortress artillery, engineers, baggage troops, cavalry and other special forces units were only organized into a small number of teaching teams and student teams as shelf units. After Operation Engine, a large number of horses, mules and other large livestock were obtained from Shandong and Jeju Island. These troops have gradually begun to form an army according to their organization. In the past, they basically relied on temporary recruitment of militiamen and civilians during wartime, but now they have to fully replenish their army personnel. also. After establishing the Joint Logistics Headquarters. There are still thousands of logistics vacancies that need to be filled... In total, excluding the needs of the Navy, only the Army, the Joint Logistics Headquarters and the National Army will fill the vacancies in the previous system. Even if there are no more field infantry battalions, At least 10,000 soldiers must be recruited. Not to mention that the Army has clearly stated that an infantry battalion must be formed in Hongji. Otherwise "the safe supply of Hongji coal cannot be guaranteed."
Naturally, the navy is not willing to lag behind. The expansion of the navy has been ongoing - in addition to incorporating new ships, the navy is also responsible for the security equipment and battalions of all ports under the Senate: naval forces, base units, and coastal artillery. These newly formed shore-based forces account for a large number of new posts. However, due to the fact that a considerable part of the navy's personnel and ships were transferred to civilian enterprises such as Dabo Shipping, Southeast Asia Shipping and Fishery Cooperatives in 1632, the total number of naval personnel was basically the same as that of the previous year.
But the Navy is now strongly demanding to expand the size of the Marine Corps, especially after the First Expeditionary Team successfully conducted an amphibious assault on Xiamen. The navy was well informed and became much louder in the Senate. I'm afraid it won't work if I don't do it perfunctorily.
"Old Wu must go crazy." Yang Yun lamented after doing the addition and subtraction again. "The army and navy also have to break their heads."
There is an undercurrent of competition for population. All parties knew from Liu Muzhou's "Hahaha about the weather today", Wu De's dark circles under his eyes and Yang Yun's face getting uglier day by day: there are not enough people.
After the formal communiqué of Operation Engine came out, all parties immediately launched active activities: some directly approached the person in charge, some approached the executive committee, some approached the standing committee, and some launched a multi-faceted campaign to "win over" various members of the Senate. The leader of the faction intends to use "public opinion" to achieve his own goals. Naturally, there are inevitably people who keep posting on internal forums to demonstrate the "importance" and "urgency" of our country's population needs and "not distributing according to the reported plan is a crime against the Senate."
The private rooms of the farm tea house were immediately full every day, and elders from all walks of life gathered one after another. Suddenly one day someone mentioned, "This is Wu Nanhai's territory," and the box suddenly became deserted.
Amidst the commotion and scolding, the final population distribution plan was finally launched. Generally speaking, it is the same as all similar resource allocation plans: everyone is not satisfied, but they still reluctantly accept it: firstly, because it is better than nothing, and secondly, there are still many things to do after the people are obtained, and there is really no more. Time to sue - they have too much to do.
"cheers!"
In a private room of the farm tea house, there was a burst of laughter along with the clinking of glasses. A group of veteran officers in army uniforms were having a drink.
The table is filled with empty bottles of cider, beer, rum, kvass and soda water. Several large Xuande blue and white plates contain side dishes such as braised duck tongue, duck neck and duck feet. The table It was full of eaten bones.
The Army was the most satisfied with this assignment. The expansion plan reported by the Ministry of War was generally approved. It not only filled the gaps in the past troops, but also obtained quotas for one new infantry battalion, four cavalry squadrons, one field artillery battalion and one siege artillery battalion.
This made the army, which had long been trapped in a lack of troops and equipment and could only watch the navy's warships show off their power at sea, let out a sigh of relief. The Army's Young Officers Club met here to celebrate "victory."
Of course, the attendees were not limited to members of the Young Officers Club, but all veteran army officers currently in Lingao were also invited. Dongmen Chuiyu was not strictly an army officer, but he was also invited because he worked at the General Staff Headquarters.
Of course, not all people came, and the older veteran officers generally did not participate in this kind of carnival-style "party" to avoid affecting their image in front of the Senate. So it was pretty much a gathering of young people.
"Come on, Chief of the General Staff of the East! Let me toast you!" Chamberlin's collar was open and he was holding a glass of rum mixed with soda water drunkenly.
The person who is called the Chief of Staff Higashi is none other than General Staff Secretary Higashikata Fukiyu. He was wearing a staff ribbon and was already tipsy. He shook his head and said: "First, my surname is Dong; second, am I the chief of staff..."
"Who said your surname is not Dong? Your surname is Dong!" Zhang Bolin seemed to be drunk and crazy. "You are not the chief of general staff. Who is the chief of general staff?" He suddenly clicked his heels and stood at attention, raising his hands as a salute. : "Salute to you! Chief of East General Staff!"
Several veteran officers who were also a little drunk also stood at attention and saluted, and one even raised his hand in salute.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Although Wei Aiwen drank a lot, his mind was still clear. He still wanted to talk to Dongmen about something.
"Dongmen, have you heard about the yellow bear?"
"I know." Although Dongmen Chuiyu was a little unsteady in his steps, he still understood, "Isn't he the one who secretly has sex with women? Isn't this matter handled by your department?"
"My handling opinions are out, and I want to hear your opinions." Wei Aiwen carefully chose his words, "After all, this matter is big or small, and it will set an example for the entire army. How well it is handled is related to morale."
"Okay, tell me about it."
"My opinion is to be demoted one rank and be assigned to serve in the North Korean Security Army." Wei Aiwen said, "Now the scale of the North Korean Security Army is expanding rapidly and there is a shortage of experienced officers. Let him get a good training in the North Korean Security Army. Yes. He will return to the regular army after getting good grades. Those soldiers under him who violated discipline were also transferred to the security army as non-commissioned officers." He paused, "After all, their disciplinary violations this time are very serious..."
Dongmen Chuiyu said without thinking: "I think it's a bit heavy." He got a little excited after drinking too much wine, and he had a tendency to talk at length. He immediately put down his glass and said:
"We must clarify several facts about the Huang Xiong case: First, the Huang Xiong team did not resell, privately distribute or dispose of the Senate's assets at will. All the food they provided to the women they hooked up with was distributed by the Senate as they chose. Target, food. Second, the women seduced by the Huangxiong Squadron all met the above food distribution requirements, that is, they arrived as refugees unplanned. Therefore, the Huangxiong Squadron faithfully implemented the instructions of the Senate during the food distribution process, and there was nothing that could Where the blame lies.”
Wei Aiwen acted as if he was all ears, but in fact this was what he thought - Wei Aiwen had no intention of punishing Huang Xiong severely. He made this gesture, firstly, as a favor to Dongmen Chuiyu, and secondly, as a veteran officer. There are quite a few admirers of the Platt-style Puritan army, so he needs to find support from the Secretary of the General Staff - with the endorsement of his words, his decision-making will be much more convincing.
