Chapter 2811
It is not uncommon for the Dengzhou base to have foreign military students studying here.Haihan has been providing various forms of military assistance to the outside world since the founding of the country, including training officers of various arms for the allies.
Whether it is the military academy in Sanya, the naval base in Dinghai Port, Zhoushan, or even Sasebo Bay in a foreign country, foreign military cadets are frequent visitors.After these officers return to their own army, they will often pursue the military thinking and international relations advocated by Haihan, which greatly enhances Haihan's influence in these countries, which is not only beneficial to Haihan's arms exports, but also in wartime. It can complete the docking of the combat command system faster, and form a more combat-effective coalition with Haihan.
After the parade of the parade was over, several local elites performed individual combat skills drills on the school grounds.However, the Army's training subjects and standards are all formulated by the Ministry of National Defense, so the drills are nothing new, such as obstacle running, rifle shooting, grappling duels, and so on.
After Bai Kesi watched the drill, Chen Yixin invited him to the headquarters of the base to listen to Sun Bing and others' detailed report on the situation of the garrison.
The content of this kind of report meeting is generally very boring. Bai Kesi felt that Bai Letong might not be able to stay, so he asked Chen Yixin to arrange for him to visit the facilities in the city.Chen Yixin readily agreed and asked Chen Pingliao to take Bai Letong around.
More than half of Bai Letong's understanding of the military came from his experience in the past few months, and he didn't want to show his unprofessional side in front of Chen Pingliao, so during the visit, the questions he asked were closer to non-military areas.
Bai Letong asked: "Ping Liao, Uncle Chen said that before the reconstruction of Dengzhou City, a large number of residents were relocated from the city, but such a large relocation must have encountered many difficulties during the process, right?"
In Bai Letong's view, if Haihan wants to carry out such a large project, it is necessary to consider the resettlement of the local people. Whether it is persuasion, acquisition, or the use of coercive means, it is probably impossible to get the people to give up their assets in the city. would be too easy.
Chen Pingliao's tone was very relaxed: "It's pretty smooth. The situation in Dengzhou City is quite special. After the Denglai Rebellion, there were actually not many people left in the city. When we took over Dengzhou City, the city In addition to the government agencies and the garrison, the other people are mainly relatives and family members of officials and soldiers.”
"These people will either follow the government and the Ming army to withdraw from Dengzhou, or they will serve our country and accept the arrangement of the northern region. In either case, they must first leave Dengzhou City. After the people related to Daming move out, the city In fact, there are not many people left in the city. And we have also announced the renovation plan of Dengzhou City to the outside world, so there are still people who stay in the city without interest, and it will not be difficult to clean it up at this time."
"It took a lot of work to recruit workers because there was not enough labor in the vicinity of Dengzhou City. We raised wages several times before we recruited enough craftsmen from nearby counties. Although this place is the administrative office of Dengzhou, But in fact, everything is missing, a lot of building materials and tools have to be transported from Fushan County, which cost a lot of money invisibly."
Bai Letong said: "Then the funding for the construction of this fortress, like Qingdao Port, is raised by the Northern Region itself?"
Chen Pingliao said with a smile: "The cost of Dengzhou City and Qingdao Port is much higher than the military expenditure of the northern region in the same period. Do you think the Ministry of National Defense can settle this bill for us so generously? Only about [-]% of it It is allocated from military expenditures, and the rest is borne by local fiscal funds.”
Bai Letong said: "Presumably the Ministry of National Defense thinks that the needs of these two projects are not so urgent, so they are unwilling to bear the construction funds?"
Chen Pingliao nodded slightly and said: "If we have to wait for the Ministry of National Defense to allocate funds, I am afraid that the construction period will have to be delayed for ten or eight years. Time does not wait. Since the Northern Region has the ability to realize these plans, there is no need to wait for the red tape process to be completed. "
Just as Bai Letong thought, although the Dengzhou Fortress and Qingdao Military Port planned in the northern region are of great military significance, there is no urgency to put them into use as soon as possible.Moreover, the subtext of the planning of these two projects in the Northern Region is to further expand the establishment of the armed forces within the jurisdiction, which is not the goal that the Executive Committee and the Ministry of National Defense are willing to promote.
Of course, although such an infrastructure project costs a lot, it does not have high technical requirements, so the only way for the Ministry of National Defense to get stuck in the northern region is funds.However, with the development of the mining industry in recent years, the financial situation in the northern region has become better and better. They even gritted their teeth to undertake the construction funds and promoted the implementation of these large projects by themselves.
Bai Letong couldn't help thinking to himself that at the meeting his father Bai Kesi attended, the local military officers probably tried their best to explain the necessity of building the Dengzhou Fortress, so as to win the executive committee's approval for this special project.
In fact, Bai Letong still thought a little bit more. The executive committee knew a lot more about Dengzhou than he did, and they didn't object to the northern region's approach.Just out of the responsibility of those in power, it is necessary to understand how the northern region will use these military bases next, and whether there are plans to take large-scale military operations.
Beks came prepared, and after sitting down in the conference room, he directly raised the concerns of the Executive Committee.
Chen Yixin made a gesture, and Sun Bing stepped forward knowingly, and began to introduce to Beks the information that had not been displayed in the military parade.
"According to the information collected by the Military Intelligence Bureau, Daming is still secretly raising materials in the Central Plains. In the past year, its Ministry of Industry has increased its procurement of materials such as steel, sulfur, and saltpeter. We have reason to believe that Daming is secretly training firearms. force."
While explaining, Sun Bing pointed out certain key locations marked on the hanging map: "Cangzhou, Dezhou, Liaocheng, Jining, Xuzhou... These areas are all undergoing massive construction and fortifications. We think this is a defensive posture. It shows that although the opponent is temporarily unable to launch an attack on the area controlled by our country, it is trying to build another line of defense on the periphery of the buffer zone between the two countries."
Beks reacted calmly to this. He nodded and said, "With such a long line of defense, the terrain is mainly plains. This is just pretending. Is there any further news, such as the Ming court's secret decree, the Ministry of War's Documents and the like, things that can help us judge the situation more accurately."
Sun Bingdao: "At present, there is no definite news about the direction of the capital, but I think that if we continue to take over the Ming court's ruled area, it may not be as smooth as before, and we may encounter stronger resistance."
