    Hearing Li Yanping explain the identities of these bandits, Yang Zhen frowned and said: "Tell Chen Bo that in the process of suppressing the bandits, he must do his best to eliminate evil. [.Com text: Don't leave any hidden dangers in the future. Northern Manchuria area  The mountains are high and the forests are dense. Once these bandits escape, it will involve a lot of energy for us. "

    "These people are not bandits who rob families and homes. They are political bandits. Keeping them is a huge factor of instability. Don't do anything like frank and lenient and go home for the New Year. As for the bandit leaders, catch some and kill some."  Especially those political bandits and anti-league traitors must not be lenient. Other general gangsters, including leaders at all levels of Yiguandao, must undergo labor reform."

    "As for the traitors of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, those who are captured at the regimental level or above will be sent to the Political Department of the Military Region and the Social Department of the Northeast Bureau for strict examination. Those who betrayed their comrades during the rebellion and assisted the Japanese army in the anti-Alliance campaign will be severely punished. Those who escaped and were beaten will be severely punished.  If they are disbanded and want to return to the army, they must be strictly examined and reassigned. "

    "But the use must be controlled. Because some things, you won't know the truth until they are exposed. Try not to arrange them in the army. Especially don't arrange them in important departments. The rescued captured comrades must also undergo strict review  "Those who are determined not to have rebelled will either be demobilized and resettled to the production and construction corps, or returned to the frontline combat troops."

    It turns out that Yang Zhen, like many people in later generations, was disgusted with the treatment within the party and the military for a long period of time after the return of captured or disintegrated personnel, long-term isolation and review, and the frequent implementation of the program.  But after returning to this era, I found that it was not the case at all.  , the captured personnel of one's own troops and the personnel captured in the pass and then taken to the northeast are two different things.  The people captured in the pass were basically taken to the Northeast to do hard labor because they were unwilling to act as puppet soldiers or were regarded as die-hard elements by the Japanese army.  As for those swing personnel, they have already become an important supplement to the base of officers and soldiers of the puppet army in the pass.

    Because of their special characteristics, the captured personnel of their own troops will definitely be an important means for the Japanese and puppet forces to develop intelligence personnel that can infiltrate into their own ranks.  That¡¯s not to say that all rescued captives cannot be trusted, but these people still need to be scrutinized strictly.  It is necessary to guard against the slightest change.

    Yang Zhen understands that captured personnel are inevitable in every war, and he will not discriminate against those captured.  But Yang Zhen believes that strict screening of captured personnel still needs to be done.  Especially when the fighting environment is so cruel, censorship is necessary.

    After thinking about it, Yang Zhen added: "We must grasp two points when it comes to the review of the rescued captured personnel of our army. It must be strict, but it must not be based on the wind and go online without restrictions.  . We must neither hurt our comrades nor let go of a dangerous element, because once people¡¯s hearts are hurt, it is not easy to make up for it.¡±

    Having said this, Yang Zhen looked at his watch and saw that the time was up, so he stopped talking and asked someone to invite Major General Grigorenko and his party back.  However, after Major General Grigorenko returned, the negotiations were still not smooth.  Although there is common ground in the exchange, the two parties still have large differences regarding the discount and operating life of the two mineral resources.

    The discount price of Heli¡¯s graphite mine is already very clear.  Based on the calculation of US$20,000 each of the T-26 tanks exported by the Soviet Union to the Nationalist Government at a 50% discount, plus the cost of transferring production technology, a full set of drawings, and aid in building a tank production plant, this graphite mine can be directly valued at US$1,000.  Two million dollars.  In terms of price, the gap between the two sides mainly lies in the coal mines in the Qitaihe area.

    There are currently six coal mines developed by the Japanese in the Qitaihe area, and Yang Zhen means to transfer two of them.  Including eight years of operating rights, the discount is $15 million.  Thirty percent of it was used to repay the loan to the Soviet Union, and the remaining 70% was to be offset by the Soviet Union transferring a batch of anti-aircraft weapons within two months.

    As for the number of years for the transfer of management rights, Yang Zhen, who naturally does not show the bottom line from the beginning, only agreed to eight years.  But the Soviet Union insisted on signing it for at least fifteen years.  The Soviet Union believed that Yang Zhen only estimated the approximate resource prices of these minerals, but did not consider the infrastructure construction costs that the Soviet Union would need to invest.

    In order to exploit these minerals, the Soviet Union not only needed to assist Yang Zhen¡¯s command in repairing the Jiamusi Songhua River Railway Bridge that had been bombed, but also extended the original Hejia Railway to Luobei Port.  Moreover, the Soviet Union will also invest a large amount of machinery and equipment for mining.  These will be a huge investment and must be factored in.  It would be impossible to recoup the cost in eight years.

    Although the Soviet Union had no different opinions on the discount price of coal mines in the Qitaihe area, they believed that Yang Zhen should have used at least half of it to repay the Soviet Union's previous loan to Yang Zhen's department.??For the remaining half, the Soviet Union will sell a batch of 76.2 mm anti-aircraft guns and 25 mm anti-aircraft guns at half the market price to the Nationalist Government for air defense in important areas of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.

    And although the Soviet Union agreed to locate the initial extraction of graphite ore within the base area, it would try to use Chinese workers as much as possible.  However, he firmly disagrees with Yang Zhen's stipulation that the annual mining volume of graphite mines should not exceed 100,000 tons of raw ore, and the annual mining volume of coal mines should not exceed the mining limit of two million tons.  He also disagreed with Yang Zhen sending people to supervise his output.

    From the Soviet Union¡¯s point of view, since the management rights have been transferred to itself, it is natural for it to decide how much coal and graphite it produces each year.  At this point, outsiders should not and have no right to interfere.

    Yang Zhen simply disagreed with the Soviet Union¡¯s request that half of the loan be used to repay the principal and interest of the loan.  If he had followed the Soviet Union's suggestions, the air defense equipment he would have received in exchange would not be enough compared to the amount he needed.  Moreover, the 76.2 mm anti-aircraft guns and 25-mm anti-aircraft guns proposed by the Soviet Union were not what Yang Zhen wanted.

    Yang Zhen, who was already quite dissatisfied with the Soviet Union's estimation of the cabbage price of its coal exports, could not accept the Soviets' refusal to set limits on annual output.  He believed that the reason why the Soviet Union chose the minerals in these two places as exchange conditions was that it should have a considerable understanding of the mineral resources in these two places.  At least the approximate reserves are clear.

    Compared with the domestic shortage of graphite resources, the Soviets have the two largest coal mine resources in the world, but most of them are coking coal and gas coal. The Soviets, who have few high-quality thermal coal reserves, are eyeing the coal mines in the Qitaihe area.  Take a fancy to the high-quality thermal coal there.

    And for the Soviet Union, the production capacity of the newly developed Kuzbass coal mine in the 1930s has not yet increased. Its main products are supplied to the industrial zones in the western part of the Soviet Union, and the quantity shipped eastward is not large.  Although the Donets Coal Mine has a huge output, it mainly supplies its own area. It is also the largest industrial zone in the Soviet Union. With the use of Ukrainian industrial zones, finding a reliable energy source for the Far East has become a very urgent matter for the Soviet Union.  .

    Especially the Donets coalfield is too close to the western border, and the entire coalfield is within the combat radius of German bombers.  Finding a safe and reliable backup source of industrial coal is also a necessary choice for the Soviet Union.  Yang Zhen also took advantage of this and changed his fate of financial hemorrhage.

    But compared to relying on cruel exploitation of labor, the mining industry is highly mechanized, and most of it is done manually by Japanese people.  The Soviets' fully mechanized mining worried Yang Zhen.  Once the Soviets use their highly mechanized mining methods to carry out destructive mining to meet their own needs, it will cause devastating damage to the Qitaihe area, which has far less abundant reserves than the Soviet Union's major coalfields.

    Therefore, in addition to shortening the period of operating rights as much as possible, Yang Zhen also hopes to impose certain restrictions on the intensity of Soviet mining.  These mineral resources were given to the Chinese nation by God, although due to the requirements of the situation, the management rights had to be transferred to foreigners for a period of time.  But we must not allow the other party to carry out destructive mining.  Yang Zhen didn't want these mines that should have been brilliant in future generations to enter a period of resource depletion early in his hands.

    The reserves of several billion tons seem large, but for the annual mining volume of tens of thousands of tons, these billions of tons of coal resources can be said to be more or less.  If destructive mining is carried out, Yang Zhen doesn't know how much of these coal mines will be left in ten years, but he can at least roughly calculate it.

    The most important thing is that in Yang Zhen's calculations, the output of two million tons within ten years, even according to the Soviet Union's frighteningly low price of forty rubles per ton, is enough to repay his own debt before new loans are generated.  No matter how much foreign debt we currently owe, we will lose a lot of money.  So Yang Zhen hopes to customize a production limit.  However, the Soviet Union firmly disagreed with his idea.

    After a whole day of war of words, although the two sides explained their starting points differently, for the sake of their respective strategic development, they both finally gave in and made partial compromises.

    In the end, the Soviet Union agreed to Yang Zhen¡¯s request.  Thirty percent of the coal mines in the Qitaihe area were used to repay Soviet loans, and the remaining 70% were used in exchange for anti-aircraft weapons.  At the same time, the Soviet Union also agreed not to provide the outdated 76.2 mm anti-aircraft guns, but to provide the latest Soviet-made anti-aircraft weapons.

    The Soviet Union agreed to provide 260 85mm anti-aircraft guns, 500 37mm anti-aircraft guns, 70 high-power searchlights and 35 sets of listening devices within three months.  All personnel are trained by the Soviet Far East Military District.  It was also agreed that the annual output of coal mines in the Qitaihe area should not exceed three million tons.

    Yang Zhen also agreed not to impose production restrictions on the graphite mines in the Heli area, and also agreed that the Soviet Union needed power to limit production.The shortage of coal will be provided by the Anti-Japanese Federation at 85% of the existing coal price.  At the same time, the Anti-Japanese Alliance must provide the Soviet Union with four million tons of coal and 50,000 tons of magnesium ore every year as repayment of previous loans.  At the same time, the transferred production and management rights will be extended to ten years.

    And Yang Zhen also agreed that before obtaining the opinions of the Soviet Union, the management rights of the mines he controlled would not be transferred to other countries within this ten years.  At the same time, it was also agreed that under the current situation that gold production has been fully restored, barter will no longer be used as a payment method when purchasing Soviet materials in the future.  Instead, at least 30% of the payment is paid in gold and cash.

    For all the Soviet engineering and technical experts and technicians who entered the Anti-Japanese Federation, they were all paid by the Anti-Japanese Federation in U.S. dollars or Japanese yen in cash at double their salary standards in the Soviet Union.  According to the grain produced in the region, the Soviet Union has priority to purchase.
