The relocation of the capital and the relocation of industries have been topics of debate in the Senate since the restoration of Guangzhou. From a development perspective, it is the Senate's established national policy to base itself on the mainland, and Hainan is just a springboard. Leaving Hainan is the first step for the Senate to truly embark on its journey.
But what is different from the elders who are full of great ambitions is that many elders do not want to leave Lingao. Ten years after landing, Lingao has become a de facto hometown. With everything they are familiar with. It is their "comfort place". What's more, once it is relocated, it will also mean that most of the medical staff of Lingao General Hospital will be moved away. It is obvious that everyone trusts the veteran doctors and nurses more than the "students" they trained.
After some gaming and discussion, a compromise was finally reached. The administrative department has been relocated to Guangzhou, and currently the core industrial sectors in Lingao will not be relocated. In addition to the reluctance of industrial veterans to move, industrial equipment that has been installed should not be dismantled and moved frequently.
Educational institutions and scientific research departments located in Lingao will not be relocated - after all, Lingao is much safer than Guangzhou. Only the health system was related to the vital interests of the elders. In the end, a decision was made to split it in two. Some of the people and equipment were relocated to Guangzhou, while the other part stayed in Lingao under the leadership of Shi Niaoren and continued to serve the elders.
Originally, a consensus had been reluctantly reached on this matter, but moving the capital to Guangzhou and relocating industry would inevitably occupy a larger amount of resources, which would inevitably affect the resources that the southward faction could allocate. Therefore, in order to compete for resources, the southbound faction has recently begun to continuously attack the policies of Guangdong and Guangxi. They believe that the strategy and management of Guangdong and Guangxi are completely "wasteful". What they get is a large amount of low-yield farmland and a huge illiterate population, and what they bring to the Senate is only "baggage" ” rather than revenue.
This argument was once very popular in the Senate, especially when the southbound faction issued various empty promises on non-ferrous metals and oil that had not been solved for a long time, and it even confused many industrial elders. The impact was so great that it even had the momentum to change the strategic layout of the Senate. Ma Qianzhu, Wu De and others had to go to the industrial port to do work in person, and they could barely suppress the momentum of the southward faction.
The momentum was suppressed, but the result was that the "Northward Faction" - the faction that advocated quickly expanding its power to Jiangnan, Shandong, Tianjin and even directly going to Japan to cede territory - declined greatly. The contradiction between the two sides further intensified. In order to retaliate against the southern faction, they all turned to the "local construction faction" - which the southern faction called the "squatting faction" and "turtle flow". The two sides were constantly arguing over where to invest resources, from the senior BBS to the Senate conference room, and memos were flying all over the place.
When the front line between Guangdong and Guangxi was in full swing, the most popular discussion in the Lingao Senate was the discussion of this strategic direction.
Of course, up to this point in the discussion, the southbound faction has not won a decisive victory, and all parties are in a stalemate.
"Many people in the industrial area have believed the lies of the southbound faction, thinking that as long as they support them in going to Nanyang for development, resources will be available. How can it be such a simple thing." Minister Hong lit up a "Sonia Lili Sharp" "My cigar", "I just laughed. Is it possible to exploit mineral resources on tropical islands in Southeast Asia within a construction cycle of five to eight years? The hollow cakes will be more delicious each one!"
Liu Xiang coughed. He himself did not agree with rash expansion under the condition of insufficient cadres and financial resources, especially expansion on the mainland, so he was somewhat biased towards the south-going faction's idea of developing resources first. However, the southbound faction has great intentions of abolishing the construction of Guangdong and Guangxi, which is far from their interests. But Lao Hong's words were too heartbreaking, and he had to come out to defend himself.
"Don't worry about whether it's a hollow pie. Aren't going north to Shandong, Tianjin, and Jiangnan also a hollow pie? You won't get much benefit from the industrial port. In the end, there are pros and cons in any direction. Of course it's best to have flowers blooming on all sides. , but we, to put it bluntly, are poor imperialists - we can compete with little Japan, but to be honest, we are not as good as little Japan..."
Wen Desi waved his hand: "Whether to go south or north is the strategic decision of the Senate. As long as it is something passed by the plenary session, we as the senators should resolutely implement it. So there is no need for us to discuss the specific strategic direction. The key is It is to minimize the negative impact of the Wuzhou Incident on the Senate."
Liu Xiang lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "My suggestion is to end the campaign in Guangdong and Guangxi as soon as possible. After completing the occupation of the Liuguan area controlled by the Ming government, stop the large-scale military operations of the Fubo Army, continue to reorganize and expand the National Army, and first ensure The security and taxation of the occupied areas can be postponed to the next step of in-depth governance - after all, we have too few administrative cadres. Without a cadre allocation of more than 7% of the population, it is impossible to achieve it in one step... "
Everyone present agreed.
"...As for the relocation of the capital and industry, it is a matter of a century-old plan and should be continued. In addition, in addition to Guangzhou, we will select several states and counties in the Pearl River Delta and places where we can effectively project our power as the basis for in-depth governance. Template. Concentrate efforts on model governance, and the number of cadres can be overstaffed and overstaffed to serve as a training base for administrative cadres."
"We need to open more schools in Guangzhou - we can't just rely on Fangcaodi for training, as we can't afford to wait. I suggest that schools be established in Guangzhou that are roughly equivalent to the level of Fangcaodi. Students from the local area and the whole province of Guangdong and Guangxi should be absorbed as a basis for the construction of Guangdong and Guangxi. Reserve army. Guangzhou’s civil service examination should be held every year, and the scope of candidates can also be expanded to Guangdong and Guangxi. For the convenience of Guangxi candidates, examination centers can be set up in Wuzhou, Guilin, and Nanning. Civil servants who have passed the examination can be sent to the Guangzhou Cadre Academy for training. "
After Liu Xiang talked about his "policy philosophy," he finally said: "As for the issue of Xie Erren, I suggest that it is not appropriate to delve into it. Just follow his reporting standards."
"I agree, although very reluctantly." Bei Wei said bitterly, "He is so unorganized and undisciplined, he only cares about his personal likes and dislikes and enjoyment, not only harming the people, but also irreparable damage to our cause... …”
"Especially because our status in the eyes of the naturalized people is going to be compromised again." Wen Desi said helplessly, "It was actually the naturalized people who rescued him. This Luo Yangming deserves everything. die……"
"Okay, Mr. Wen, don't try to create gods." Hong Huangnan said, "You must know better than me what the various monsters and monsters in the Senate are like. Sooner or later, the naturalized people will worship the senators. It collapsed. There is no Luo Yangming this time, and Xie Erren is really captured and presented to Chongzhen, so our fun will be great..."
"What's so embarrassing about this," Wen Desi sneered, "It's just that Chongzhen used him to blackmail us, or else he cut off his head after offering prisoners at Meridian Gate to embarrass us. We will directly declare Xie Erren Not a veteran.”
Liu Xiang couldn't help but said: "Mr. Wen, you are too poisonous..."
"If I had the power, I would declare that Xie Erren is not a veteran right now." Wen Desi waved his hand coolly.
"Okay, no more angry words." Bei Wei interrupted the banter between them, "What do you think of Mayor Liu's suggestion?"
"My opinion is contrary to yours." Wen Desi said.
The other three people were surprised, and Liu Xiang quickly asked: "Why?"
"Didn't you read this "Wuzhou News"? If I'm not mistaken, it should be his own handwriting. To be honest, I understand the blame-shifting - it's human nature. But this throw-off affects the allocation of resources. There is a problem. Look at the objective factors he raised, they are all caused by insufficient resources..."
"It is precisely because of insufficient resources that this situation has occurred, so we need to further increase investment..."
"No, no, when these words came to the mouth of the southbound faction, it became 'knowing that resources were insufficient, but still forcibly advancing the Guangdong and Guangxi strategy, putting the elders in extreme danger, and almost causing irreversible results.' Do you think this crime How about it?"
Liu Xiang took a breath: "I almost forgot!"
He only thought about the Southward Faction that was making the most noise right now, and forgot that there was still a "Senator Supreme Faction" in the Senate who was always vigilant about "the sacred power of the senators not being eroded". If Xie Yiren's words were followed, Shan Liang and others could seize this opportunity to cause trouble - this matter was different from the maids of the past, but it would pose a real threat to the elder Yuan's personal safety. Once incited, the consequences would be disastrous.
"In that case, I can only apologize to Mr. Xie." Director Hong said slowly.
"We are not in a hurry about this matter. I am afraid that there are many veterans who have information in their hands and are waiting for the opportunity. Let's see how they plan to act first." Wen Desi said, "Our first priority now is to clean up Wuzhou. The endgame.”
"Who will be sent to replace him now?"
"No one will be sent for the time being," Wen Desi said. "First, no elder is more familiar with the situation in Wuzhou than him. It will take at least a month to get started after sending someone. The current situation in Wuzhou is not suitable for changing generals on the spot; second, Although the Guangdong Region has the right to select and remove the chief executive of cities and counties, he was appointed by the Organization Department. There is no procedural problem in removing him from his post, but it is inappropriate - it does not respect the Senate."
"Do you want to send someone to assist him?" Liu Xiang asked, "We will replace him after the results come out."
"That's okay," Wen Desi nodded, "but there's no rush. The most important thing right now is to send more military power to Wuzhou. Bei Wei, can you mobilize new troops there?"
"There are new troops. The Ming Army troops we trained in Hong Kong have surrendered, and several new squadrons have been trained. These squadrons are much stronger than the ones that were improvised to fill holes. But these troops were originally intended to be sent to northern Guangdong. of."
"Northern Guangdong will not be in the way. Huang Chao and the others can control it. Send two squadrons to Wuzhou first - set off immediately!"
