Tang Juwu, the newly promoted deputy chief of staff of the General Staff Headquarters, reported to Jiang Li that this was also the reason why Zang Shiyi complained to Jiang Li just now.
The amount of military expansion this year was originally budgeted, but now an additional 11,000 anti-Japanese volunteers will be gradually withdrawn to the northwest.
The northwest has a relatively small population.
Recruiting troops locally will reduce the basic labor force.
Recruiting from the side of the Great Wall Although people have solved some of the problems, more than 20,000 people will also consume a lot of money along the way.
Although Jiang Li made a lot of money, investing in various industrial factories cost a lot of money, and Northwest's finances have always been overloaded.
In fact, according to Jiang Li's construction and military expansion progress, Shao Lizi's budget this year, including for military cooperation with Germany, is more than 80 million US dollars more than Tibetan Yi, part of which is used by Huaqian Pharmaceutical Company Most of the subsidies are mortgage loans using existing assets.
And Jiang Li bet all his money on the silver bill that Americans will enact next year.
Even if there is no such thing in this era, if we free up the money for hoarding silver and repay this account later, we will only lose 20 to 30 million U.S. dollars.
At this time, Northwest's plate is not included.
Fatal question.
After all, the most important Hua Qian Group has begun to get on the right track.
Most of the self-built industrial factories in the northwest will also be rewarded this year and next.
"The Japanese army has basically eliminated the resistance forces in the Northeast, and it will only take a few years to integrate the resources in the Northeast.
It seems that we have to hurry up and prepare for war."
Feng Zhanhai looked at Jiang Lida, "Li Du and Ma Zhanshan's goals are too big to be possible.
If they return to Heilongjiang from the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union will not directly engage in hostilities with the Japanese because of this issue.
How will the commander prepare to deal with them?"
"Deputy Chief of Staff Tang seems to have noticed.
Please tell me how to arrange Li Du, Ma Zhanshan and the others."
Jiang Li saw Tang Juwu's eyes flashing and said with a smile.
"Hasn't the commander already made arrangements a long time ago?
One mixed brigade and two cavalry brigades have been deployed to cross Yumen Pass and prepare to enter Xinjiang at any time."
Tang Juwu said clearly, "One mixed brigade and two cavalry brigades.
Brigade is enough to crush the existing local forces in Xinjiang.
If Then there are the coalition forces of Li Du and Mazhanshan entering from the Soviet Union.
I believe that the time to pacify Xinjiang will be greatly shortened.
However, Xinjiang is a long way away, the place is large, the population is small, and the products are not rich.
It’s also difficult to contribute too many resources to the northwest.”
"The resources are all surveyed.
Don't look at the Yanchang Oil Mine now, and the Yumen Oil Mine is also under survey and construction.
Once the scale of oil consumption increases, it will still not be enough.
Our relationship with the 17th Route Army is relatively good.
The way out is blocked Going south to Sichuan is also hindered by the terrain.
The land that can be obtained now is not enough.
"Jiang Li shook his head and sighed.
There are gains and losses.
Compared with the east, it takes a lot of money to develop the west.
The energy and cost will be several times higher.
The only advantage is that after it is built, it will not be affected by the battle with the Japanese army in the east.
"The commander is right.
The current war is about resources.
No matter how poor Xinjiang's resources are, if they are used well, they can still support two or three divisions.
If those local forces are allowed to spoil them and their banditry is untamed, they will be dragged down.
Our hind legs, if added and subtracted, the number of troops we can use to fight the Japanese army will be reduced by several divisions."

Tang Juwu nodded in agreement.
"That's the truth.
Xinjiang seems remote, but it serves as a buffer for the northwest of the Republic of China.
The military affairs in Lanzhou will be left to your staff to arrange.
I want to go to Xinjiang myself."
Jiang Li said with a smile, stroking his hands.
"The commander is now the anchor of the northwest and cannot be easily dispatched.
Although Xinjiang is important, with Li Guofei and the others joining Li Du and Ma Zhanshan, there is no need for the commander to dispatch himself."
Feng Zhanhai and Tang Juwu exhorted at the same time.
"I have to go to the west to have a look.
Ever since I entered Lanzhou, I have been stuck in this area.
If I don't go out for a walk, my body will get rusty.
I am too comfortable and uncomfortable.
Besides, there is no need for me to go to the front line.
You guys What are you worrying about?"
Jiang Li waved his hand and said, "Of course there are some things that are not convenient to disclose to the outside world during this trip to Xinjiang, such as the suppression of local forces in Xinjiang, but there are some that do not need to be exterminated, such as the remnants like Ma Bufang.
If he has the ability to stir up trouble in Central Asia, that is his ability.
"That's fine, the commander has to leave early and come back early, otherwise the commander in Lanzhou will be away for a long time."
Feng Zhanhai said after hesitating for a while.
Jiang Li's trip to Xinjiang is not without benefits.
To a certain extent, it shows the attitude of the 15th Route Army towards Xinjiang.
Even Ma Bufang was very timid when he saw that the 15th Route Army was so determined to enter Xinjiang without fighting.
"Your point of view is wrong.
The future of Northwest should not revolve around a certain person.
Even if I have an accident one day, Northwest must continue to operate stably.
If the group cannot continue to operate because of the departure of a certain person, then this It would be better to disband the group as soon as possible to avoid harming the country and the people in the future."
Jiang Li shook his head and said in disapproval.
"After the strong men brought by Commander Wang are brought back to the northwest, you will let the people from the recruit training camp be selected again, and all the cooperative ones will be sent to the training camp for transformation.
As for the volunteers, they cannot be mixed together, and everyone can be accepted. , have you ever had any stains before?
What, the 15th Route Army can still tolerate it.
If they have committed many evil deeds in the past, then form a vanguard regiment, vanguard battalion or the like in the army, and send them to the most dangerous place first in the next foreign war.
Just consume it," Jiang Li thought for a moment and said.
"The commander is right.
In order to expand the anti-Japanese team, some volunteers tried every means to win over the anti-Japanese armed forces.
Although the strength expanded relatively quickly for a while, the composition of the team was too complex and might not cause problems for a while under the strong pressure of the Japanese army. , once the pressure on the Japanese army is reduced, the bad nature of these people will be exposed.
Internal struggles for power and profit, discipline is not strict enough, and many people have committed crimes such as burning, killing, and raping before.
They are no less sinful than the Japanese.
These people must be cleared out of the team in time to avoid ruining the reputation of the 15th Route Army in the future."
Tang Juwu nodded in agreement.
In contrast, if we attack these people directly or kill them.
If someone drives out the 15th Route Army, it will inevitably give outsiders the impression that they are killing the donkey.
But if these people with a bad record are organized into death camps and sent to the most dangerous battlefields, it is estimated that it will only take one or two battles to wipe them all out. thing.
Usually the most dangerous time for the 15th Route Army is when it faces the Japanese army.
The Japanese army is unlikely to have any mercy.
And if those people escape and retreat, it will only be a matter of one sentence to enforce military discipline.
