After the war in China ended, the Kuomintang army occupied most of the cities in South China, Central China, and East China. Together with the previous Southwest and Northwest China, their apparent strength once again surpassed Yanzhou;
After recruiting more than 1 million puppet troops, the total strength of the Kuomintang army has exceeded 3.5 million, which made Zhong Cao's backbone become tougher again.
Seeing that Yanzhou was full of dissatisfaction, if he hadn't been in a hurry to attend the alliance meeting and confirm his status as the number one man in China, he might have launched a plan to suppress bandits.
Although he resisted the urge to start a fight, he still told his confidants before leaving that during this period, the troops scattered in the northwest and southwest would be transferred to central China, and at the same time, they would massively expand their armaments and prepare for war;
Naturally, they don't talk about suppressing bandits to the outside world, but they talk about mobilizing elite troops, preparing to send out troops, settling general accounts with the Japanese, and deceiving a large number of promising young people into joining the national army.
Yanzhou's senior officials were well aware of the wolfish ambitions in Shuzhong, and based on the principle of not firing the first shot and putting themselves first, they devoted themselves to post-war reconstruction work.
In order not to overly stimulate Shuzhong, Yanzhou did not implement large-scale land reform in the liberated areas, but further promoted the implementation of rent and interest reduction policies to alleviate social conflicts;
The George Plan has also begun to be fully rolled out. Various factories and industrial parks have sprung up, solving a large number of employment problems. The ranks of the working class have grown exponentially, which has alleviated to a certain extent the problems caused by the large number of landless farmers in the jurisdiction. Social Issues.
Many landless farmers began to transform into workers. Under Chu Xiong's suggestion, Yanzhou, which had money, began to spend money to purchase land from landlords at a low price, and then contracted the land to landless farmers for farming;
Farmers only need to hand over a certain amount of public grain to the government every year, and the rest is their own, which greatly increases farmers' enthusiasm for farming.
A large amount of funds obtained by landowners from selling land are invested in industrial parks under the guidance of the government. As long as sufficient commercial taxes are paid, they will be protected by the government as national capital.
The government has established public enterprises controlled by the government in some important industries related to the national economy and people's livelihood, thus forming an industrial development model that combines public enterprises and private enterprises.
Regarding the land issue, under Chu Xiong’s suggestion, Yanzhou introduced a relatively moderate land policy and no longer adopted radical land reform of dividing fields;
Instead, within a specified period of time, through government-funded acquisitions, a large amount of land from landlords was purchased at a fair price, and then contracted to landless farmers. In this way, the land contract responsibility system entered the historical stage ahead of schedule.
This relatively moderate land policy was not only supported by the domestic landlord class, but also recognized by the international community.
Especially Yingjiang, they are even willing to provide a large interest-free loan to support Yanzhou's implementation of new land reforms.
In Franklin's view, as long as Yanzhou did not divide the land into different fields and did not adopt radical methods to solve the problem of redistribution in the industrial and agricultural fields, they would strongly support it;
They didn't have enough money, so they loaned money to Yanzhou without interest, and were even willing to provide free support.
Yanzhou welcomes Yingjiang's support and does not require free support. It is even willing to pay a certain amount of interest at a low interest rate as part of George's plan.
Yanzhou was not polite to Yingjiang this time. It loaned 10 billion Yingyuan as special funds for land reform and industrial reform, but it still paid it back in 50 years. The annual interest rate agreed by both parties was 3%.
Since the current Eagle Yuan is linked to gold, with the support of this large amount of funds, Yanzhou first promoted currency reform, established the Yanzhou People's Bank, issued a unified currency, and the RMB officially entered the stage of history.
With the establishment of a standardized currency, reforms in the industrial and agricultural fields were on the fast track. In just one month, the land in the entire jurisdiction was nationalized in RMB;
Then, through land contracting, the output was transferred to each household, which quickly solved the problem of over-concentration of land that had plagued China for thousands of years, allowing all farmers to have land to farm, and at the same time, it solved the class conflict between landlords and farmers in a gentler way.
Landowners obtained a large amount of working capital from the government by selling land. Driven by the government's preferential policies, they invested the funds in setting up enterprises in the industrial field, and enterprises sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
The senior officials of Yanzhou, including those who stayed in the Black Bear faction, originally attached great importance to the development of industry. It was so difficult during the Red Army period to develop industry, let alone now.
Because they know that the expansion of industrial scale will not only bring huge taxes, but also expand the size of the working class like a balloon. This is the ideal they have pursued and struggled for so many years.
Therefore, Chu Xiong's suggestion was unanimously recognized by Yanzhou's senior officials and the remaining black bear faction, and soon began to be promoted within the jurisdiction.
Compared with the reform of the domestic economic field, military matters are no longer the most important. Chuxiong is not in a hurry to capture the Ryukyu Islands and march towards the homeland of Zippenji;
Because the enemy is still of great use, and the foreign war is not over for a day, Shuzhong does not dare to risk the disapproval of the world and launch a civil war at this critical moment.
Yanzhou needs a buffer period to sort out its internal affairs, and Yingjiang's thoughts are all on the alliance meeting. As the boss, he is gathering several allies to share the cake;
Teheran, Justice League Summit
Those who could attend this meeting were all big shots, including Joseph, Franklin, Fatty Qiu, and representatives from Yanzhou and Shuzhong in China;
Before the meeting, China launched a nationwide counterattack against the Chickens. It took only one month to drive out millions of Chickens troops from China and recover most of the country. This was absolutely unique among the Justice League. One serving.
In addition to justice, the Justice League is also about strength. Nowadays, China is very popular in the Justice League, with more than 5 million elite troops idle;
These are all veterans who have been fighting for many years in actual combat. Whichever battlefield they join will speed up the war. Even Joseph, who always has his nose turned to the sky, took Zhongcai and Xiangyu's hands and spoke of Dongfang Davari.
In order to take care of someone's face, Yanzhou did some research and finally decided to send Xiangyu as the representative, thus resolving his embarrassment;
It not only reflects the existence of Yanzhou, but also shows the unity of China in front of other countries. Xiangyu will not lose Yanzhou's face even if he cuts off a section at the table.
Naturally, Zhong Cai couldn't help but smile happily. Yanzhou gave him enough face this time, so he and Xiangyu got along well. He even held Xiangyu's hand and said:
"Xiangyu, if you Yanzhou has any requests, you can raise them privately. You know me, and I will accept them as long as they are reasonable. It's all for the sake of China."
Xiangyu was naturally able to handle such a scene with ease. He could leave the matter of face to him, and Riko was not ambiguous at all. He told him all of Yanzhou's opinions, including bringing the Ryukyu Islands, Ogasawara Islands and Ryupeiyang closer to each other. A proposal to hand over some of China’s islands to China’s custody.
In addition, the Hong Kong capital that has been recovered by the Chinese army, as well as China's inherent lands such as the outer northwest and the outer northeast must be legally established. In addition, the issue of garrisoning troops in Zuopenji must be submitted to the alliance for discussion.
At first glance, it was all for China, and the historical merits of these things were his, so he agreed without hesitation. This ensured that the two sides of China would speak with one voice at the alliance meeting, which made the Chinese joke. Fatty Qiu was very disappointed.
As soon as his evil eyes flashed, a bad idea came to his mind...
