Hearing Li Yan's request, Secretary Zhu and the others were a little confused. After all, this report was not a small matter. It was related to the financial support of the United States to the base. It could be imagined that it was related to at least 2 million US dollars. Moreover, according to Li Yan's interest, no matter how bad the report was, it had to be made up badly. It was really unacceptable for him to write a document to scold himself, so Secretary Zhu immediately thought of rejecting it.
"Isn't this a good idea? After all, this is a report to be submitted to the US Navy Intelligence Bureau. Isn't this supposed to be a very important document? Besides, it wouldn't be very good if we wrote a report. After all, this is fabricated. In principle, this is not allowed.”Judging from Commander Zhao and Director Guo's expressions, they probably had the same intention.
"But I really don't have the time. I plan to go down this afternoon to do a field survey, which will take at least five to seven days. After seven days, the materials needed for the construction of the industrial zone will arrive. Then, the construction of the industrial zone will become the focus of my next work. Therefore, I don't have time to write reports, which are not very useful. Besides, I really haven't received any professional training before. No matter what, you guys should be stronger than me.”
Hearing that Li Yan wanted to put his efforts into the construction of the industrial zone, Secretary Zhu and the others could only agree. After all, they had been looking forward to the arrival of a talent like Li Yan. If the construction of the industrial zone was really delayed because of writing a report, it was really not worth it. The most important thing in the base was still the construction of the industrial zone. It was not unacceptable to violate the rules to a certain extent for the construction of the industrial zone. Reporting was actually something that could be accepted as long as one overcame it psychologically.
"How about this, Governor Li? You have the most political work experience among us, and compared to us, you have more experience in reporting. So, I'll leave the task of helping Commissioner Li write the document to you.”
After the committee decided to help Li Yan draft the report, Secretary Zhu directly handed this task to Governor Li. Because Governor Li was also responsible for the intelligence agency of the base, it was better for him to write the report to the US intelligence agency.
Governor Li was ready to accept the task when Li Yan mentioned the topic of industrial construction. After all, the committee had reached a consensus on the development of the base industry, which was to do their best to develop their own industrial infrastructure.
Now that Li Yan said that writing these reports would affect the development of Shandong's industry, it was natural that the committee would help him draft the report. At that time, Li Yan would just have to copy it. It seemed that Director Guo and he were better at paperwork in the committee. After all, they were older and had participated in specific work for a longer time. Considering that this report would eventually be sent to the US Navy Intelligence Bureau, he, who was also in charge of intelligence work, should be the most suitable candidate.
"Alright, Secretary Zhu. I will draft the report. After the drafting, we will review it first. If there are no problems, we will pass it to Commissioner Li for him to copy.”
Commander Zhao and Director Guo had no objections either. After reading this part of the report, Secretary Zhu continued to read the latter part of the report, which was about the military.
"As for the military forces of the base, I personally think that they are extremely unqualified. It seems that they do not have the most basic staff system. However, the most important thing is that based on the current situation, whether it is the 105th Division or the Shandong Brigade, they are both defensive forces.”
"According to the information, whether it was the battle of Yuncheng County or the battle of Lufang, it was a passive defensive battle carried out by the Japanese military forces. It was not clearly planned by the General Staff before the battle, and the logistics department made detailed preparations. The battle did not have a clear tactical goal and actively attacked. This is something that the base must change at present. The next step is to plan for the construction of the base industry. Let's first discuss the paragraph about military affairs in the report. Commissioner Li, is this paragraph true or just look at it like what the report said before?”
Speaking of which, Secretary Zhu was not unaware of the defensive nature of the armed forces in the base area. However, for now, the military strength of the Committee could be said to be relatively strong in the entire base area. It was only second to the armed forces of the 12th Army of the Japanese regular army stationed in the base area. Others were like puppet troops who joined the Japanese army, but they did not expect this armed force to be criticized as well.
"Let me explain first. In fact, the lack of civil servants mentioned in the report is also true, but in the whole of China, these problems are not very important. Just like the report of the official in the American settlement that I introduced earlier, the sanitary facilities were indeed very backward, the winters were indeed very cold, and the land was indeed very barren. Compiling a report did not mean that there were no problems, but rather that some small problems had to be exaggerated. We could not let the people who read the report immediately think that the report was nonsense, but we had to let them know that there was indeed a problem here, and that it had reached a point where they had to change.”
"From this point of view, everything in my report is true. There are indeed frequent changes in personnel and a lack of civil servants, but it's not very important. After understanding this point, look at this paragraph about the military. At least from what I saw in the information, the 105th Division and the columns of the base troops all have the weakness of passive defense. However, these are actually not important. In fact, long ago, British military experts had done research on the combat effectiveness of the armed forces. The best way to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army is to pay them on time. I saw from the information that your army has pocket money every month and has detailed records of food expenses. It seems that you have done a good job in this aspect. Therefore, you just need to take a look at this point. Don't worry too much.”
In fact, Li Yan had spent a lot of effort to find out this point. After all, he did not have much research on modern military construction. He had not even served for a day. However, he had heard his fourth brother, who was in the navy, talk about it at home.
The most important thing for an offensive army was the staff officer and logistics. Before the battle began, the military objectives had to be formulated in stages. Before the war began, the logistics system had to prepare the ammunition and materials to be used according to the requirements of the staff officer system, and had to discuss in detail with the staff officer system to make redundant reserves of materials.
Unfortunately, he didn't see this in the information of the Shandong base. But then again, it was already very difficult for an agricultural country like China to be able to pay and eat every month, so the lack of aggression wasn't very important.
"Everyone should have no objections, right? Alright, let's continue.”Although Secretary Zhu saw that Commander Zhao had something to say, he knew that Commander Zhao wanted to ask how to change the current problems. However, Li Yan was here and would not run away. It was almost twelve o'clock now. Li Yan said that he would go down to investigate in the afternoon, so he had to finish the report as soon as possible.
" Currently, the base cannot generate electricity or produce steel by itself. There is no industrial foundation. We are in urgent need of two small-scale fuel generator sets produced by General Electric, including 5 barrels of anti-freezing fluid, 100 barrels of CD type engine oil, battery anti-slip pads, and other supporting equipment, 70 barrels of high-quality gasoline, 10 Ford trucks with a load of 5 tons, 100 50W light bulbs, 100 200W light bulbs, 50 kilometers of three-phase wires, and 5 sets of electrical equipment. 30 tons of cement and five sets of horizontal hydraulic generator sets. Li Gong, what are these?"
"These are the first batch of equipment that I plan to order. Two small 100-kilogram power generators and five 200-kilogram water power generators.”
"Isn't this a little too big? There's no need to use so much power.”
This was true. Let alone those hydraulic generators, just the two 100-kilogram fuel generators alone. If he remembered correctly, there were two generators in the base, one 30-kilogram and the other 10-kilogram. The big one was in the military factory of Fei County, while the small one was in the division headquarters of the 105th Division.
Now, one unit was even bigger than the previous two units. How much did it cost? He would not be able to afford it in the future.
"Is it big? It's already very few." Li Yan also knew that for someone who had never come into contact with a modern industrial zone, this might not be acceptable. After all, in their eyes, the use of electricity was only for lighting and broadcasting. There was not much use for electricity. It might be a waste of electricity, but the industrial zone was different. Once there was a mechanical factory in the industrial zone, no amount of electricity would be enough. This amount of electricity could even be used for the industrial zone of Green Camel Town that he had planned.
"I'll take this opportunity to tell everyone about the industrial construction plan I thought of last night.”He walked to the map hanging in Secretary Zhu's office and pointed at it.
"My personal plan is to build a small industrial zone in Green Camel Town within this year, which is 1940. This industrial zone includes a water power station built on the Meng River, a steel factory, a machinery factory, a chemical factory, a cement factory, a bullet factory, and a small-caliber gun factory built north of Green Camel Town. From this year to the next year, that is, from 1940 to 1941, a medium-sized industrial zone would be built in Fei County. In addition to the several factories above, it would also include a heavy machinery factory, a vehicle manufacturing factory, a textile factory, a pharmaceutical factory, and a food factory.”
"From 1941 to 1944, a large-scale industrial zone was built in Laiwu County, which could basically produce the weapons and materials needed for a modern army. The first step of this plan was to build a water power station on the Meng River. He needed to be responsible for the first step of the entire three-step plan, the basic power demand of the industrial zone of Qing Tuo Town.”
"Whether it's a steel plant, a machinery plant, a chemical plant, or a cement plant, they all require a huge amount of electricity. A total of 1000KW of electricity is not enough. Therefore, my personal plan is to use these two small fuel generators to temporarily supplement the electricity in case of a shortage of electricity.”
