"Old Zhao, I understand!" Zhou Hao nodded solemnly and responded with a serious expression.

Zhang Mingrui, Yang Tianming, Gu Haichuan and others also knew from Zhao Zhenzhong's judgment that the Japanese would launch in the Northeast in the near future. However, although they were concerned about this, they did not know how disaster Japanese beasts would bring to the land of China. Therefore, in terms of importance, there was a certain gap between them and Zhao Zhenzhong and Zhou Hao. Of course, they had their own things to do in the future. Even if they wanted to go to the Northeast, Zhao Zhenzhong would not agree.

"Haichuan, when I was in the northwest, I received a telegram from you saying that the Yimeng base area had cooperated with Han Fuju and others during this Shandong flood. What is going on?" Zhao Zhenzhong asked when he remembered what Gu Haichuan and others mentioned in the telegram before.

"The Yangtze River is flooding, but Shandong has suffered not only floods, but a hodgepodge, and all kinds of disasters have almost taken turns." Thinking of the assistance he had handled in the past few months, Gu Haichuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Since this spring, drought, flood, earthquake, hail, locust plague, Shandong suffered one by one. In addition to locust plague, there are several other disasters in our base areas or nearby counties. Fortunately, except for Fei County construction late and some projects have not been completed, other counties have complete water conservancy facilities. Drought and flood disasters have little impact on our summer grain and autumn grain harvest."

The disaster in Shandong this year is indeed very serious. After the beginning of spring, although the spring drought is not serious, some counties are still affected. After summer, heavy rains in Shandong, mountain torrents broke out, rivers overflowed, and more than 30 counties suffered floods on the canal and the Yellow River, northwestern Shandong and Jiaodong. In addition, locust plagues in northern Shandong, northwestern Shandong and other places, the Boshan earthquake, and the hail disaster in Yishui, reached 10 million people, of which more than 5 million people were directly affected.

"However, the earthquake in Boshan and the hail in Yishui in July had a certain impact on our engineering construction and grain production. The so-called cooperation with Jinan in disaster relief was just that when our guards went to Boshan, Sishui and Linyi to rescue the people who suffered earthquakes and floods, Han Fuju's troops did not confront them and adopted a tacit attitude. Just over half a month ago, the Minister of Civil Affairs Li Shuchun asked the victims of Sishui to send us a letter, saying that it was on behalf of the Shandong government, thanking us for our righteous act of helping the victims, and hoped that our guards could take in and help more victims. Yishan and Degui and I did not respond to Li Shuchun when we considered our own situation."

According to Zhao Zhenzhong's previous requirements, the Yimeng base area can rescue victims from nearby counties, but there are strict standards for taking in victims into the base area. Cooperating with the strict identity review system, special personnel of the guards will identify the people entering the base area, and then combine the resident identity registration and joint security defense system to minimize the possibility of various forces entering the Yimeng base area.

"Swish! Han Fuju and the others have a good plan." Zhou Hao saw through Jinan's intentions and said disdainfully, "If you want to use a letter to turn our rescue of the disaster victims into their achievements, how can you do such a good thing?!"

"That's right, Yishan, Degui and others also think that Han Fuju and the others are using this to win the hearts of the people, so they ignore them." Gu Haichuan nodded and said, "However, after several months of disaster relief, the population of our base has reached 2.04 million, and there are more than 20,000 prisoners who are serving labor."

"The construction of Yimeng side must be accelerated. Han Fuju fought with us in the spring. He knew that he could not do anything to us for a while and would be honest for a while." Zhao Zhenzhong analyzed, "However, now Wang Jun, Chen Yaohan, Ma Hongkui and other troops have been transferred to Jiangxi and Henan to encircle and suppress the ** forces. Only Han Fuju, Liu Zhennian and us are left in Shandong. Han Fuju, the chairman of Shandong Province, will definitely develop steadily for a period of time, and will seek to unify Shandong after his own strength grows. At that time, we and the Shandong authorities may still fight."

"Yishan and Degui and others think so too." Gu Haichuan nodded and said, "We occupy the favorable terrain and build the entire Yimeng Mountains into a super-large fortress. Han Fuju's troops want to attack and can't get any advantage. Therefore, we judge that Han Fuju will definitely solve Jiaodong Liu Zhennian first, and then concentrate our efforts against us. But it is not easy to judge how long we can leave us in detail. It may take about a year."

"There will be at least one and a half years." Zhao Zhenzhong analyzed, "Han Fuju will definitely take Liu Zhennian first. If he wants to solve Liu Zhennian's troops, he will only solve the food and salary required for tens of thousands of troops to fight continuously. Han Fuju will have to wait until the autumn grain harvest is harvested next year before he can start. In addition, it takes time to stabilize the place after the war, Han Fuju will have to be freed up at the earliest 33 years."

"In a year and a half, our relevant projects in Feixian and other places will be completed. At that time, the entire Yimeng base will be a complete defense system, and we are not afraid of Han Fuju's attack." Gu Haichuan said confidently.

"When it comes to engineering, you mentioned earlier that the earthquake has an impact on our related projects. Is the damage serious?" Zhao Zhenzhong asked.

"From September last year to the present, three earthquakes have occurred in the Boshan area. This has not greatly affected all the completed defense projects from Lushan to Yishan. It is only because the Great Wall project from Yishan to Wulian Mountain has been suspended for nearly 20 days, but fortunately there are no casualties. In addition, the material passage from Boshan through Tusikou to Laiwu was completely interrupted due to the landslide caused by earthquakes and heavy rain. Moreover, since the section is not in our controlled area, it is difficult to repair." Gu Haichuan was a little helpless, "A material passage closest to is ruined."

"It's okay. Can't we still transfer from Boshan to Lu Village? The transportation in the base area is very good now. We just took a little more roads, and the impact is not great." Learning that the earthquake did not have a substantial impact on the relevant projects, Zhao Zhenzhong felt relieved and waved his hand and said, "Since there have been three consecutive earthquakes in less than a year, there may be earthquakes later. After you go back, you must start to arrange personnel to preach earthquake prevention knowledge to the public and eliminate public panic."

"In addition, there are now 6 counties in the base area, which can increase the population by rescuing and retention of disaster victims, but they must strictly abide by the relevant conditions and act within their means. They cannot distinguish between good and bad, and expand too much at once. Otherwise, with the existing production conditions, cultivated land and grain will be a big problem, which will trigger new conflicts among the people in the base area." Zhao Zhenzhong warned, "In the next 6 or 7 years, in addition to retention of disaster victims, coupled with the natural increase in the population in the base area, the upper limit of the population in the Yimeng base area cannot exceed 5 million."

"There are 6 counties in Yimeng, which are less than 20,000 square kilometers, but they have more than 2 million people. We need to try to control the rapid population growth. There are more than 20 counties in the northwest, and the area of ​​110,000 square kilometers, but there are only more than 1.5 million people. Now more than half of the population are hungry people." Yang Tianming sighed, "It would be great if we could compromise these two places."

"The northwest is vast and sparsely populated, but our population is a bit large. We have also considered moving the population there. But Ningxia and Longdong are surrounded by the forces of the Nanjing government, so it is impossible to immigrate to the south at all." Gu Haichuan also sighed, "After research, Yishan, Degui, and Yishan, I decided to provide about 10,000 capable personnel to the northwest every year, including about 2,000 government staff and about 8,000 combat personnel. This 10,000 people are scattered into 4,500 batches. It is still possible to follow the vehicles transporting supplies from Huamei Company to enter the northwest. No matter how many, we have no choice."

"You can solve the big problem by just over 10,000 people. At least the northwest will not have to worry about the lack of backbone force in the future. In addition, it is not impossible to transfer the victims at all, it just takes more trouble." Zhao Zhenzhong explained, "The method is to transfer the victims to Suiyuan."

Suiyuan Province has an area of ​​more than 300,000 square kilometers, but its population is only about 2 million. Compared with the bases established by Zhao Zhenzhong and others in the northwest, it is even more sparsely populated. If Huamei Company transports the victims to Suiyuan in the name of rescuing the victims and provides the materials needed by the victims, Fu Zuoyi, who is in charge of Suiyuan, would definitely be happy to increase the population of Suiyuan in this way. And the victims transported by the Pingsui Railway in the name of entering Suiyuan can enter Baode on the northern section of the Tongpu Railway that has been opened to traffic in the middle, and then transfer from Baode to the northwest base area of ​​our Baode Jingfugu. Of course, there is a lot of work to be done here, and some details should be considered clearly.

"Old Zhao, you don't have to worry about material matters. We have hoarded sufficient materials overseas, which is enough for the construction and development of our two bases." Zhou Hao said confidently, "The premise is that the transportation capacity of the two railway lines of Pingjin and Pingsui can meet our needs."

"Fu Zuoyi and Zhang Xueliang have a good relationship. We will help him solve the big problem of Suiyuan's population shortage. Why should he, the provincial chairman, come forward and work hard?" Zhao Zhenzhong smiled, "Besides, we can also talk about the topic through Yu Xuezhong. By the end of September, relevant foreign refugees will join in, so Zhang Xueliang is not worried."

"In this way, we can not only increase the population of the northwest base, but also speed up the transportation of various materials to the northwest in the name of transporting materials for disaster victims. It is really a killing two birds with one stone." Zhou Hao also laughed.

"Hehe, Shopkeeper Zou is now with Yishan, Chengshan and others to visit the base project. If he comes back, he will definitely feel distressed when he hears that you and your husband are going to provide supplies to help Fu Zuoyi increase the population of Suiyuan." Yang Tianming teased.

"Sir, our actions will enhance Fu Zuoyi's strength. Will that be detrimental to us in turn?" Zhang Mingrui was also a little worried.

"Fu Zuoyi is still very patriotic and willing to do something practical for the people. It is much better to transfer the victims to Suiyuan than to survive under the control of other warlords. Besides, the victims can have a way out when they arrive in Suiyuan, and the increase in border defense can also consolidate. We can also take the opportunity to secretly transfer personnel and further develop and strengthen the northwest base. Why don't we do this good thing?" Zhao Zhenzhong mentioned, "Our team has taken it as our mission to save the people since its establishment. Now that the strength has grown, we should do more things that are beneficial to the people. We cannot just care about the interests of our own group and forget that the fundamental reason for our existence is the people. This is also the purpose of my convening representatives of each group here to prepare to establish our own organization. Of course, Mingrui's concerns make sense. We must also take some measures to minimize the factors that are unfavorable to us."

Zhao Zhenzhong didn't say anything. It seems that increasing the population of Suiyuan now seems to be somewhat unfavorable to his side, but in the long run, the increasing population for Suiyuan now can alleviate the problem of human resources during the War of Resistance, making the future situation more beneficial to his side.
