When Liu Shi arrived in Chongqing, Liu Chuan was in Peiping accepting the appointment of Commander Tada.
In the headquarters, the higher-ups of the headquarters were all present. In addition, a group of officials from the North China autonomous puppet government had also arrived. One of them was wearing a Chinese tunic suit and a pair of glasses. He seemed to be smiling, but there was a hint of hatred in his eyes.
His name was Wang Shan 'ao, the administrative director of the North China autonomous puppet government. Of course, he was the former. He was about to roll out of this position.
It had been almost three years since the establishment of the puppet government in 1938. Wang Shan 'ao had really vividly portrayed the words' traitor 'in her position.
He often plundered the people to flatter the Japanese. He was not extorting the rich like Liu Chuan did. He really plundered the people at the bottom.
He would keep a portion of the loot for himself and use the rest to reward the Japanese.
When drought and locust plagues occurred in North China, he ignored them. Instead, he took the opportunity to collude with the rich landlords to wantonly occupy the fertile land of the people. In the year of famine, not only did he not provide disaster relief, but he also took advantage of the situation and forcefully snatched the daughters of the common people to go home. It could be said that the words 'dog traitor' were an insult to dogs. At least dogs would not betray their masters.
Previously, the military commander and people from all sides tried to assassinate him many times, but because Beiping was where the headquarters of the Japanese North China dispatched troops was located, the Special Higher Police's strength here could not be underestimated, so they did not succeed.
What was the saying? There was no harm without comparison. In the past, the Japanese thought that Wang Shanao was okay. Anyway, they could just push all the dirty things onto him.
However, after Liu Chuan took over Luxi, the Japanese realized that Wang Shan 'ao was not a good person. She was just a piece of trash. She had earned a lot of money, but she had not done anything proper.
Look at Liu Chuan. Although his policy of appeasement was completely contrary to the Japanese's own policy, the effect was remarkable!
In just a few months, the guerrillas that gave the Japanese a headache were almost eliminated. Look at the results of the battle. It was amazing to have such results on the battlefield behind the enemy lines ~
They even said that the food they collected would be supplied to the Imperial Army so that the Imperial Army would not have to transport it from the distant mainland and the northeast. The Japanese believed that what Liu Chuan said was true.
So, he turned around and looked at Wang Shan 'ao. What the hell is this? He had been in this position for a few years, and now the food of the imperial army still had to be transported from the distant mainland and the northeast.
So today, Commander Tada had gathered everyone to announce the appointment. He wanted to kick Wang Shan 'ao, this good-for-nothing, off the stage.
" After careful consideration, the empire's headquarters has decided to appoint Liu Chuan as the administrative director of the North China autonomous government. He will be in charge of all administrative affairs in the area under the jurisdiction of the North China front army."
Commander Tada finished reading and handed the letter of appointment to Liu Chuan. He held his hand and said,""Yanagawa-kun, the empire has placed great hopes on you. I hope that Yanagawa-kun won't disappoint the empire, let alone His Majesty ~"
"Ha ~ Yi ~ Please rest assured, Commander. Liu Chuan will not disappoint His Majesty and the Empire's high hopes for me.”
Wang Shanao, who was watching from the side, felt that there was a difference between being a traitor. Why didn't he do it to the end earlier? Look at him, he spoke fluent Japanese and was wearing a Japanese military uniform. Was it because he didn't know Japanese?
"Nishi ~ I can't doubt the truth of your words because of what Yanagawa-kun did in Luxi. Come, sit down and talk ~"
As Tada spoke, he pulled Liu Chuan to sit down and smiled at him.""Yanagawa-kun, from now on, you are the administrative director of the North China autonomous government.
You need to bring your family to Beiping. From now on, you'll be working in Beiping. Do you have any requests? As long as I can do it, I'll definitely satisfy you ~"
Tada looked at Liu Chuan eagerly. A few days ago, when Liu Chuan came, he had also received information from the Special Higher Police. The 200,000 refugees that Liu Chuan had settled down in Luxi had already shown some results.
At the moment, Luxi was harvesting food. The people had a good harvest this year. Because of Liu Chuan, Luxi had a good harvest this year.
The Japanese soldiers did not harm the people. They followed Liu Chuan's policy of appeasement and did not invade the people. Therefore, the grain production increased a lot this year, especially for the 200,000 refugees. Autumn was coming, and the harvest season had arrived.
He estimated that the Luxi government would collect a lot of grain taxes this year. Duo Tian guessed that this grain could feed a lot of imperial troops. Therefore, he also hoped that Liu Chuan could implement this policy in North China.
Once the imperial army no longer needed to transfer grain from the mainland and the northeast, the logistical pressure would be reduced by nearly half.
Liu Chuan pondered for a moment before he looked up at General Tada and said seriously,""Commander, I've been thinking about a question, a question that I can't understand.”
"Oh? Was there anything that Yanagawa-kun didn't understand?”
Commander Tada's interest was piqued. Was there anything that Liu Chuan didn't understand?
"Commander, you see, Manchuria, North China, and Central China. The current area of these three regions is large enough, right? They were under the jurisdiction of the Guandong Army, the North China Army, and the Central China Army.
However, only Manchuria was stable. Although there were still some guerillas harassing the imperial army, Manchuria's foundation was stable. Why was there such a different situation?”
Liu Chuan asked.
"Yanagawa-kun, are you doubting the ability of the Huabei soldiers?”
Commander Tada's expression did not look too good. He thought that Liu Chuan was doubting their ability.
"No, no, no! Commander, you've misunderstood. If I doubted the ability of the commander and the soldiers in North China, how could they have defeated the Chinese army?
There are three regions and two different situations. Actually, I think it has nothing to do with the imperial army itself, but something else."
As Liu Chuan spoke slowly, General Tada and the other Japanese people's expressions became better. However, their expressions also became serious. It was obvious that they did not understand why there would be a different outcome.
You said that no one came out to appease the Chinese people? What did the puppet government of Jinling say?
It had been more than a year since the construction began, but there were still a large number of guerrillas behind the enemy lines in Central China. What was going on?
Obviously, it was not something that could be done by pushing a person out to create a fake government. They wanted to hear what Liu Chuan had to say.
"Logistics ~ Everyone, think about it. What is the difference between North China, Central China, and Manchuria? Central China, North China, and Manchuria had them. However, there was one thing that Manchuria had, but North China and Central China did not.”
Liu Chuan looked at them and said slowly.
"Yanagawa-kun, don't keep me in suspense. Tell me the details. What's the problem?”
Major General Kasahara, the chief of staff of the North China Dispatching Force, couldn't help but ask.
"Manchuria has the Fengtian Munitions Factory, supported by a huge military enterprise. The weapons and ammunition of the Kwantung Army do not need to be transported from the mainland. They can produce them nearby and sell them themselves. Therefore, the Kwantung Army has sufficient ammunition. Even if there are rebels, they can't cause any trouble.
Moreover, the Munitions Factory has also solved the livelihood problems of many refugees."
