On the 1st of July, Gu Weiming officially held his first development planning meeting in Zaozhuang. All the major factories under the Iron Blood Army, as well as military personnel, were gathered in the conference building in Zaozhuang. This time, the meeting would focus on the economy and the military. They would do their best to develop the heavy industry in order to obtain sufficient war power!!
During this period of time, the Japanese would probably not go all out to invade China. The world's mainstream powers were also accumulating strength and developing quietly because of the economic crisis. Therefore, the tolerance of the world's major powers for war was not very high!
Therefore, Gu Weiming's Iron Blood Army was still in a relatively peaceful and safe environment…Of course, if there was any deviation in history, or if there was such a turning point, it would not count!!
The Zaozhuang Independent Government currently had the government affairs committee and the military affairs committee as the two highest authorities. However, the highest leaders of both organizations were Gu Weiming. The government affairs committee was under the administration of the government affairs council, and its executive, Liu Dingguo. At the same time, the government affairs committee also had the economic affairs council, foreign affairs council, business council, industrial council, science and technology council, and other functional departments. Of course, these departments only had one or two people at the moment. However, as time passed, In the end, it would evolve into a behemoth, and Gu Weiming was only building the framework in advance, so that he could easily develop and become powerful in the future!
"Stand up!"
Gu Weiming's voice was full of energy. The huge conference hall was filled with people. Not only were there talents in government affairs, but there were also talents in the military, as well as villagers from all over the country. Since it was a meeting of the Zaozhuang autonomous government, everyone should be allowed to attend!
Even some of the little brats followed behind the adults, pretending to be deep and focused. However, this should be a very meaningful lesson in their memories.
"Comrades, fellow villagers, I am Gu Weiming. A few months ago, I led the remnants of my army from the Songhu battlefield all the way north to this place. Now, I have finally gained a firm foothold. Half a month ago, the Iron Blood Army's First Infantry Regiment attacked forcefully and successfully occupied the Tangde Train Station. They also wiped out the Japanese infantry brigade. The Japanese army is not invincible. I, Gu Weiming, will never do the foolish thing of Zhang Xueliang giving up the three northeastern provinces!!”
Gu Weiming thought for a moment. There were so many pairs of eyes below the stage, as if they were yearning for knowledge. Although the Republic of China was a democratic Republic, when did ordinary people ever attend a meeting? This time, Gu Weiming's pioneering work made these villagers feel a different color. The Iron Blood Army had defeated the Japanese and developed their industries. They were fed and clothed warmly. It seemed that working for Gu Weiming would bring them endless benefits!
The people were not fools. They would have a good meal if they followed Gu Weiming. Moreover, the new government was very helpful to the ordinary people. For example, those who were over 60 years old and had no one to support them could receive a monthly relief fund from the new government. Although it was not a lot, at least they would not starve to death.
"Dingguo, you start!"
Gu Weiming gestured to Liu Dingguo. This political talent gifted by the Red Alert Base was directly appointed as the head of the government council after being discovered by Gu Weiming. Compared to ordinary cloned soldiers, these gifted talents had a more advanced emotional system, such as love, love, or a grasp of human emotions. They were basically no different from ordinary people.
Liu Dingguo nodded. He was dressed in a gray Chinese tunic suit and looked a little old and heavy. However, in the past few days, Liu Dingguo had already made people look at him in a new light when he handled government affairs. For example, he was the one who presided over the government's framework!
To the public, Liu Dingguo was a sea turtle who had graduated from Yale University in the M Nation. Gu Weiming happened to know him, so he invited him to take charge of the Zaozhuang Independent Government.
"Everyone, I am Liu Dingguo. These few days, I have been following Chairman Gu Weiming's orders to formulate the economic development plan for the next year. The civilian industry, military industry, technology industry, and various research and development projects need to be put on the agenda!!”
" In the second half of this year, a 100,000-ton steel factory, rubber factory, machinery factory, thermal power plant, hospital, school, car factory…"
"Looking at the western powers, all of them are powerful industrial countries. The island country of Japan only has an area of 370,000 square kilometers, while Shandong Province has an area of nearly 150,000 square kilometers. If we can obtain a larger territory, we can establish a huge industrial area!”
"Industry and the army complement each other. Only a strong industry can arm an extremely powerful iron-blooded army!!”
Liu Dingguo's voice was firm. After receiving Gu Weiming's approval, he became even more courageous. He then continued. Liu Dingguo looked at the people below who were listening attentively and felt a great sense of satisfaction!
" Each village will set up a village committee and a patrol unit. They don't belong to the Iron Blood Army during normal times. They are mainly used to take on the defense tasks of the regular Iron Blood Army during the coming war. Simply put, they are reserve troops. If the Iron Blood Army continues to expand, they will be selected from the patrol units of the villages. All the soldiers in the patrol units will complete the farming tasks while undergoing military training!!”
"In terms of education, the government will enforce a five-year compulsory education system. No matter which family it is, as long as they are registered with the autonomous government and have children of the right age, they must go to school. Education is the foundation of the country. At the same time, the government will allocate funds for education.!”
However, regarding education, many villagers had different opinions. What was the use of going to school? There was one less person to do farm work. They had to pay for school. It was too expensive to go back and forth. There was no other way. They could not even solve the problem of food, clothing, housing, and transportation. How could they solve the problem of education?
As Gu Weiming listened to the increasing clamor, it seemed like there was still a huge resistance to the implementation of the five-year compulsory education system. However, everything was difficult at the beginning. Once the people knew the power of education and the future recruitment standards of the government were raised, educated students would definitely have their own advantages. At that time, those villagers who did not attach importance to education would definitely send their children to school!!
Gu Weiming also indicated to Liu Dingguo to skip this chapter and talk about education later…
