Chapter 629
It is a difficult challenge and difficult to expect tens of thousands of local people to become models of support for the military in a short period of time.
Just correcting the people's perception that they are Chinese rather than "Manchukuo" people took a lot of effort and a long time for local governments. The work here is difficult than that in the Central Plains and the results are slower. After all, when the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces were weak, the people who dared to follow the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces with their heads in a very strong manner. In terms of the number of people, they are still in a minority compared with all the people.
The people living in this land rarely see the cruel nature of the Japanese, nor have they experienced large-scale Japanese massacres. They are inevitably a little active. There are really many people who are unwilling to follow the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces to rush into the mountains and forests to avoid encirclement and suppression.
Ma Qian'an wanted to build the local area into a model base. He knew that it was far from enough to promote patriotism and anti-aggression. If the material cannot meet the basic requirements of the masses and put them in poverty, what is the difference with the Japanese? Why should the masses follow the Anti-Japanese United Nations wholeheartedly? So his first step was to make the local people benefit and initially realize the path of food and clothing. This is also the reason why he has always insisted on implementing the practice of giving benefits to the people in various economic policies.
The vampire pioneering group and the grassroots regime of the puppet Manchukuo, regained the land they occupied and distributed to farmers, recognized the effectiveness of the Japanese vowel certificates of deposit in the savings bank, and did not cause huge economic losses to the people, and also set high-priced grain collection policies. These practices all reflect Ma Qian'an's philosophy. He did these things to let the people remember that the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces is a real people's government and his work is for them. He believed that as long as the masses really get benefits, they will turn to support the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, so as to truly unite with the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces and become a powerful logistics support force of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.
This has a demonstration effect on the people who are not in the base areas outside the mountain. As the saying goes, if the base area is rich and strong and the people are not bullied, it will attract more and more people from enemy-occupied areas to enter our base areas and become part of the logistics force. To put it bluntly, the army cannot do without solid logistical support, and the most critical element in the production of logistics materials is labor. This anti-aggression war with Japan is actually a battle for resources and population.
The key is time. If the autumn harvest is over, the people in the base area will get a lot of profits. After they get the things in their hands, they will change their mindsets. There is still a big difference between expectation and understanding.
Unfortunately, the Japanese took advantage of this period to launch a large-scale encirclement and suppression, which reduced Ma Qian'an's beautiful vision. The Japanese first had to attack the settlements when they entered the mountains. The fate of the people who stayed here was 100% certain. They were either moved away by the Japanese or massacred. The Japanese would never leave human resources for the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces to allow the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces to grow up.
Massacre? This word suddenly jumped into Ma Qian'an's mind. Well, according to the character of the Japanese, they would never be rude to do such things. Moreover, Mijiro Umezu was already red in this time. He must have recognized the territory occupied by the Anti-Japanese United Nations as the Red Cargo region. You can know what kind of revenge you can do in the Red Cargo region. At this moment, Mijiro Umezu must be furious like a monkey with a fire, and he can do anything that a madman does.
Ma Qian'an admitted that Chen Rui was right, but he was unwilling to let negative words occupy the forum. Ma Qian'an asked Chen Rui: "Chairman Chen, are you able to do the publicity work of the masses? Are there any consequences of the coming of the Japanese? Do you realize that the Japanese will launch a massacre?"
"Massacre?" Chen Rui was stunned for a moment, "Propaganda must be done, but because I am not sure about the behavior of the Japanese, I did not dare to predict that the Japanese would launch a massacre. After all, you should be cautious. If the Japanese did not have a massacre, we would yell ourselves, and it would be difficult to explain to the masses afterwards, which would reduce the prestige of the government and work would be difficult to carry out in the future."
Ma Qian'an sighed softly, only Zhou Yucheng could feel the soft voice.
"We must pay attention. I can say responsibly that the Japanese encirclement and suppression this time is different from the past. Judging from the scale of troops and material preparations they used, they will inevitably be ready to suffocate us. In response to the cruel massacre and intimidation practices carried out by the Japanese after the September 18th Incident, I think our new base is consistent with the unoccupied areas at that time. They will first make several massacres indiscriminately establish their authority. Doing this can prevent the people in other regions from celebrating the anti-Japanese alliance, and the other can effectively deal with the people they think have been redundant. The matter that kills two birds with one stone will surely be reborn."
Chen Rui hesitated and said, "What if it's not that serious..."
Ma Qian Anma interrupted him, "Nothing is true, if I say it wrong, I will be fully responsible."
If there is no definite determination, I believe Commander Ma would not have said so simply? Chen Rui looked at Ma Qian'an's serious face for a while, and finally nodded in pain.
"Okay, after I leave the meeting, the Ma organized people to make arrangements, and talked about the situation to the point of being severe and to the death, is that okay?"
"Okay! Why can't it be? We must say this. Only when it is serious, will those people who are hesitating and waiting to see us, so that we can preserve our vitality and preserve human resources."
Human Resources? Good word! Zhou Yucheng quickly recorded this word in his notebook. From time to time, some novel self-created words popped up in Ma Qian'an's mouth, concise and precisely the essence of things. If you don't remember such good words, please wait for them.
With ideas, the rest of things are much simpler. Everyone discussed a series of issues such as publicity methods, staff arrangements, and work group selection. Although the ideas are simple, the actual workload is very huge. Nearly 200 natural villages in this area must be promoted. In this way, there is not enough staff in the base area. Zhou Yucheng stated that he would draw some staff from the army to help the local government, and the contradiction of insufficient personnel was all alleviated.
The meeting was about to end, Chen Rui stuffed the plan he had just sorted into his bag, and stood up anxiously to say goodbye. Ma Qian'an stretched out his arm and pulled him.
"Comrades, I think you are so busy that you are dizzy. Have you overlooked a very important issue? If this problem is not solved, you will still be busy and messing around."
What's the problem? Everyone blinked their eyes and looked at Ma Qian'an in confusion.
Ma Qian'an looked across from the long table and said to Yang Xiaokang with a smile: "Comrade Yang, you just said that there will be rain in the past two days when you observe the celestial phenomena at night?"
Yang Xiaokang suddenly realized, slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, I forgot that those unfinished grains are originally filled with water. What should I do if I go to the horse on rainy days? You can't bury it if you don't do it."
"You have no way to do anything?"
Yang Xiaokang answered yes or not, and his answer was no, and his face turned red and his neck was thick.
Forget it, Ma Qian'an was not ready to make things difficult for him, and told him: "Fry it, just fry the soybeans, sorghum, corn particles and wheat all cooked. It's dry and refreshing. When you use it in the future, you don't need to make freshly prepared a handful of snow and a handful of stir-fry beans."
Ah... It turned out that this method was. Yang Xiaokang wiped the sweat beads on his forehead and shouted, "Sir Ma, I know this method. But how can I have time to rely on the team's cooking staff and the big pot?"
Alas! Ma Qian'an sighed softly again.
"Comrades, our work is still flawed. Look, whenever we encounter difficulties, the first thing our comrades think of is to complete it with their own strength and ignore the strength of the masses. Why don't you think of them first? They are the most reliable force we can rely on and the strongest backing for us to fight. The hundreds of thousands or even tens of millions of kilograms of grain collected seem to be a lot, but once these grains are distributed to each household and ask them to help us bake and fry, this is another task that can be completed in a very short time.
