    It wasn't until Yang Zhen calmed down later that he realized that Nangong Yun's actions should definitely be at the instruction of Mr. Yuan. After thinking about it more deeply, Yang Zhen couldn't help but sigh that Mr. Yuan, who had done such a trick after leaving, really had a burning gaze.  It＊s really quite a long term,

    Although the national industries in the base areas are currently not confiscated or collected, and some industries and businesses with national capital have even been given loans to promote their development, the base areas currently adopt a rationing system for the entire grain and implement unified purchasing and marketing.  This approach has significantly reduced the competitiveness of the catering industry, especially the high-end catering industry.

    And in order to open up financial resources, the Northeast Bureau has been levying high consumption taxes on high-end restaurants like the old man's name. On the one hand, it limits high consumption, and on the other hand, it also aims to open up as many tax sources as possible when there is little tax revenue. This makes,  The current profits of the high-end restaurant under Mr. Yuan's name are far from what they were before.

    Instead of keeping these high-end restaurants and hotels and causing some inconvenience and trouble to my daughter, it is better to transfer them all at once. Anyway, several big factories have donated them, so they are not bad. The old man has done so thoroughly.  After several high-end restaurants and hotels changed hands, all the properties in the Northeast, at least on the surface, have basically changed hands.

    Among them, there are some old men who are worried that the planned economy has begun to be implemented and land reform has begun in the rural base areas. They will imitate Jiangbei and confiscate all capitalist properties and change them to state-owned or public-owned. Although in Yang Zhen's view, this is at least  But now the old man's worries are purely unnecessary.

    Yang Zhen has always advocated that in addition to controlling the lifeline sectors of the national economy and those involved in war, it is better to leave the rest of the light industry and some service industries to national capital. After all, while developing heavy industry,  The Northeast Bureau simply does not have such large funds to take care of light industry.

    Moreover, some light industries related to people's livelihood are all built by the Northeast Bureau, which is unaffordable at least for now. Therefore, Yang Zhen believes that some insignificant industries related to people's livelihood are better left to private capital to operate, such as catering and accommodation.  On the other hand, restructuring will not be carried out.

    However, although the Northeast Bureau will not implement a comprehensive Soviet-style economic model at the moment, it even does its best to provide some loans to some national capitalists who are expanding their industries. Of course, the Northeast Bureau's approach, in addition to ensuring the development of light industry,  In addition, it also includes the practice of promoting RMB in disguise, because all loans are in RMB.

    But after the war is won, Yang Zhen cannot guarantee whether the Soviet economy will be fully implemented like the history he knows. Although the national conditions are different, after all, they all wear the word "Communist" on their hats. Who can guarantee that the central government will  After taking power, the Soviet model economy will not be implemented;

    Although Yang Zhen did not say it directly, he still vaguely agreed with the old man's plan to prepare for a rainy day. These assets, after the old man Yuan left, would undoubtedly be a different kind of burden for Yuan Zhiruo and Nangong Yun.  , it may not be a bad thing to get rid of it early,

    Of course, this is all a thing for later, but what Yang Zhen, who is currently busy preparing for the Soviet-German war in a few months, does not know, and what Yang Zhen, who is currently busy and exhausted, does not know is that, just before  The night he had a long talk with Mr. Yuan, his old rival, the Kwantung Army Commander Umezu Yoshijiro, was discussing something with the newly appointed Kwantung Army Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Kimura Hy身taro, in his official residence.  something,

    Although they suffered a disastrous defeat at the hands of the Anti-Japanese Alliance in last year's battle, the Kwantung Army did not admit defeat from top to bottom. Especially General Umezu Yoshijiro, the commander of the Kwantung Army, was even more unconvinced by last year's disastrous defeat. No wonder, in  After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, Japan had been looking down upon the Chinese for a long time.

    Since the so-called Emperor Meiji founded the new army, the first disastrous defeat was not at the hands of the European and American powers, but at the hands of the Chinese who had always been looked down upon by them and who had been defeated again and again at their hands. No wonder these so-called elites were unconvinced.  , especially when the loss is still so miserable,

    As for Umezu Yoshijiro, because the actual battlefield commander Lieutenant General Namada Juichi took the blame, although he was not held too accountable for last year's fiasco and only received a serious warning, last year's fiasco had a profound impact on him.  It is nothing less than a great shame and humiliation.

    Regardless of the so-called financial situation of the Puppet Manchukuo government, they scraped together a large amount of funds in Puppet Manchukuo, used the sea route that had not been completely interrupted, and purchased captured French artillery from Germany to supplement the lack of domestic production capacity. It was impossible to do so in a short period of time.  The commander of the Kwantung Army was responsible for replenishing the technical equipment lost in last year's battle.

    This audacious commander of the Kwantung Army, who was eager to wash away the shame caused by last year's disastrous defeat, even risked his own life in order to restore the Kwantung Army's vitality in a short period of time.?The Tokyo base camp firmly opposed it and recruited so-called veterans in Manchuria to replenish the troops that suffered heavy losses last year and began to rebuild the 8th and 11th divisions that were almost completely destroyed last year.

    This General, Umezu Yoshijiro, suffered the humiliation of Kazuki's defeat last year. He was very resolute in his actions. He even dismissed more than a dozen officers who had failed to perform well at the beginning of the year. In the words of a mid-level officer of the Kwantung Army, he was eager for revenge.  Commander Umezu is crazy,

    According to General Umezu Yoshijiro's plan, the Kwantung Army's vitality will be completely restored by the end of June, and the Kwantung Army's offensive capabilities will be restored from July to August, and the autumn will be prepared to recover the so-called lost ground northward, and all these cancers of Manchuria's security will be eliminated in one fell swoop.  Prepare to be destroyed,

    In fact, in the view of General Umezu Yoshijiro, the Kwantung Army was not defeated by the Chinese last year, but by the Soviets who were backing those damn Chinese. Although the Soviet Union has always been resolute in diplomatic negotiations with Japan,  Deny it, but even a blind man can see who is behind the Anti-Japanese Alliance.

    Although the Soviets repeatedly denied Japan's negotiations, the overwhelming artillery shells and bombs that fell on the Kwantung Army last year, the French tanks and American-made aircraft that appeared on the battlefield, and the weapons and equipment made in Poland could not be ignored.  It must have grown out of the grass,

    Although none of the seized weapons and equipment were Soviet standard equipment, these were obviously the sources of weapons produced by Western countries. They were undoubtedly provided by the Soviets who had a large number of weapons seized from Poland and robbed a large number of weapons from the three Baltic countries.  ,

    Until now, Umezu Yoshiharu still stubbornly believes that without the full support of the Soviets, the so-called anti-alliance and actual bandit armed forces are vulnerable to the powerful imperial army. Therefore, this time under General Umezu Yoshijiro's new combat plan  In , his goal is not simply to target the Anti-Japanese Alliance, but also includes the Soviets behind the Anti-Japanese Alliance.

    In order to completely eliminate, in his words, the already extremely rampant Resistance Alliance, and to teach the Soviets an unforgettable lesson, letting them remember that since the Empire of Japan was able to fight during the Russo-Japanese War when its national power was not very strong,  Defeating Tsarist Russia back then can teach the Soviets an unforgettable lesson even now. It was in order to achieve this goal that General Umezu Yoshijiro did not hesitate to expand his army at all costs, even desperately.

    However, the new Kwantung Army Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Kimura Hy身taro did not agree with his approach. Although compared with the former Kwantung Army Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Iimura Jo who was a conservative, this field artilleryman was known as the Japanese army's third  The brother of the No. 1 artillery expert is also a radical, but he opposed Umezu Yoshijiro's rectification plan as early as when he took office.

    The reason why Lieutenant General Kimura Hy身taro, an old angry young man in Japan who had always been sent to the north, opposed Umezu Yoshijiro's plan was not because he did not agree with Umezu Yoshijiro's goal of wiping out the Anti-Japanese Alliance, nor did he think that he was fully prepared to attack the Soviet Union.  What's wrong with starting a war?

    But in the view of Lieutenant General Kimura Hy身taro, everything about the Kwantung Army should be formulated without affecting Japan's overall strategy. An approach like General Yoshijiro Umezu's approach is obviously not in line with Japan, especially the Japanese Army as a whole.  The strategic requirements, especially the war against the Soviet Union, must be in line with the overall interests of Japan's strategy.

    In Kimura Hy身taro's view, the Soviets are not the Tsarist Russia of the past, nor are they the Northeastern Army that was driven into the country by a mere 10,000 Kwantung Army during the September 18th Incident, nor are they possessing a large but extremely weak China Army. The current  The international situation, let alone the Russo-Japanese War, was a time of war. Under the current international situation, we must be cautious.

    But Hyoutarou Kimura is a person without many opinions, and he is a guy who regards his official position as his fate. He opposes General Umezu Yoshijiro's plan. In addition to the above points, he is more worried about the base camp being blamed for this matter.  If he comes down, he will be implicated.

    Standing behind General Umezu is the Emperor, and behind him is the former Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army and the current Minister of War. Although he has always been known for his toughness, compared with the Emperor, he is still far behind. No matter how capable he is, he is not as good as the Emperor.  General Umezu, who had the emperor as his backstage, was far from comparable.

    All Japanese soldiers know that although the current emperor seems to be indifferent on the surface, in fact, all kinds of power have been firmly in his hands, especially matters in the army.  , if you offend the emperor or make the emperor dissatisfied, then the consequences for this person will be very bad,

    But if the emperor likes someone, the army can only accept it no matter what. Even if this person pokes a hole in the sky, the army has to find a way to wipe his ass, because the land minister, education director, and staff officer are known as the three leaders of the army.  The position under the buttocks of these big-headed people can??Whether you can sit down or sit long depends not on the Prime Minister, but on the Emperor.

    Therefore, the army is generally very taboo when dealing with people who are highly valued by the emperor. Even if these people are very provocative, as long as the emperor opens his mouth, it will basically be fine. But the current Prime Minister behind him  But it's different. If you throw yourself out when necessary, you will never feel bad.

    If General Umezu's actions anger the base camp, and he cannot deal with General Umezu, who has the support of the emperor, he, the chief of staff, is likely to become a scapegoat. This is also the usual practice of the Kwantung Army. If something goes wrong, it will be bad luck.  The so-called chief of staff is always the chief of staff.
