Anti-Japanese War: I have a million soldiers and you call me a division commander?

"Ok!"

Wang Tiezhu did not hesitate and nodded immediately to show that he understood.

"Now that we've discussed military matters, let's talk about local affairs!" After finalizing the selection of the garrison commander, Chu Feng's voice rang out again: "Before, we only had Yuan County, so there weren't many local affairs."

"But now, we have recovered Wei County, Guang County, and Yangyuan County. Four counties are no small number. The combined number of fellow villagers under their jurisdiction has reached hundreds of thousands."

"Although the Jincha Special District has a sign, it has always been an empty shell."

At this point, Chu Feng paused, then smiled and explained to everyone: "I am promoting both military and local development. As the army develops, the local areas cannot be left behind."

"The army is like our rifles, light and heavy machine guns, which can be loaded and used for battle. The local forces are like our bullets and artillery shells. If our weapons and equipment are to be lethal, they need a steady supply of shells and bullets."

"So we must pay attention to local development."

When everyone heard Chu Feng mention the Jincha Special District and his vivid introduction, they also reacted.

Indeed, now that we have four county towns, it is time to start work on local governance and local development.

However, Wang Tiezhu and Ge Dayong just chose to listen and then became distracted. They were pure soldiers and did not understand these things, so they could only leave it to Chu Feng, Li Mingqiang and Uncle Zhao Wu.

"Commander, what do you think?"

However, Li Mingqiang and Uncle Zhao Wu did not speak, but looked at Chu Feng and asked him what he thought.

"That's what I think!"

Chu Feng took over the conversation without hesitation and said, "I plan to establish one office, four bureaus, and six departments under the Jincha Special District to form the Jincha Special District's government system."

The four partners were stunned when they heard this. One hall? Four bureaus? Six departments? What the hell? Why haven't they heard of it before?

Ge Dayong, who was originally in a trance, asked in surprise, "Commander, what are these halls, bureaus, and departments for?"

Ge Dayong's question was also what the other responsible persons wanted to ask. After Ge Dayong asked it, they all looked at Chu Feng, waiting for Chu Feng to explain it to everyone.

"This is what I decided after careful consideration!"

Chu Feng smiled slightly upon hearing this and began to introduce his government system to everyone, saying, "The first hall is the Government Affairs Department, the four bureaus are the Construction and Transportation Bureau, the Finance and Taxation Bureau, the Water Conservancy, Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Bureau, and the Light and Heavy Industry Bureau, and the six departments are the Security Department, the Supply and Marketing Department, the Education Department, the Health Department, the Power Supply Department, and the Military Industry Department."

"This department is the Government Affairs Department, responsible for the overall coordination and management of government affairs in the seven counties of the Jincha Special District."

"The Construction and Transportation Bureau is simply the department responsible for infrastructure such as roads, railways, bridges, and factories."

"There's a saying that goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Only when roads are built can goods and goods flow freely and the economy flourish. With 100,000 troops and nearly 100 aircraft stationed, we'll try to fight wars on the periphery in future wars."

"The Finance and Taxation Bureau is our purse. Taxes are secondary at the moment. The key is to utilize limited funds, establish our own bank, and issue our own currency."

As soon as Chu Feng said this, his four partners were shocked.

"Commander, are we going to issue our own currency? We are a special zone under the jurisdiction of the national government. This is not appropriate!" Uncle Zhao Wu couldn't help but speak.

"Not suitable?"

Chu Feng sneered disdainfully at Uncle Zhao Wu's words and said, "The government's monetary policy is a mess. Haven't you seen what's happened since the issuance of the legal tender?"

"Do you know why I don't let you keep French currency? It's because it has no credibility."

"Maybe 100 French francs can buy 500 kilograms of salt now, but after one or three months, you can only buy 100 kilograms."

"We must have our own currency and cannot be controlled by the government. Anyway, our ship is small and only operates within our own zone. We have our 100,000 troops as our credit to ensure that our financial system does not collapse and operates smoothly."

After hearing Chu Feng's sharp words, his partners, who were originally a little surprised and shocked, suddenly fell silent.

Indeed, the government’s credibility can be said to be completely nonexistent.

Seeing his partners acquiesce, Chu Feng continued, "The Water Conservancy and Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Bureau is responsible for repairing water conservancy facilities, organizing and guiding the development of agriculture, animal husbandry, and breeding. They are our food bag and vegetable basket."

"The Bureau of Light and Heavy Industries is responsible for the management, planning, and introduction of factories within the Jincha Special District. Its jurisdiction includes steel mills, rolling mills, textile mills, garment factories, automobile assembly plants, and radio factories."

"The Security Department, further down, is responsible for counter-espionage and catching spies, and is also responsible for propaganda. Propaganda is a big deal, and it can be divided into internal and external aspects.

Internally, the first is to enrich the cultural life of the people and troops in the base area, publicize the War of Resistance, and publicize our policies. Second, it is to publicize the enemy's cunning, teach everyone how to identify enemy spies, and expand the capture of spies and secret agents to everyone in the entire area. Externally, it is to publicize some of our area's events and statements to the outside world.

"The supply and marketing office is responsible for managing the sale and purchase of materials in the county. It is the place that stabilizes prices and ensures people's livelihood. Things like sugar, oil, grain, and salt must be under our control."

"The Education Department is responsible for education in the prefecture. Education is a long-term project. We must vigorously develop it, even if it means selling everything we have."

"The Health Department is responsible for the construction of the district hospital, so that the people can get medical treatment when they are sick. In addition to medical treatment, we must also play a role in prevention. When it comes to disease, prevention is better than cure, especially since the Japanese may use some despicable means."

"As for the Power Supply Department, they have two responsibilities. The first is to plan and build power plants and construct power facilities. The other is to ensure the power supply. Electricity is the engine of industry. Without electricity, no matter how many mechanical equipment we have, it will just be a pile of scrap metal."

"The last Military Industry Department, because of its special nature, I didn't put it in the Light and Heavy Industry Bureau. Instead, I separated it out and established a Military Industry Department to be responsible for the management and coordination of arsenals and aircraft assembly plants."

After hearing Chu Feng's introduction to the One Hall, Four Bureaus, and Sixth Department, everyone had a general understanding of the development of the Jin-Cha Special District and had an idea of ​​Chu Feng's arrangements for the Jin-Cha Special District.

It is obvious that Chu Feng is not planning to use the current system of the national government. He is planning to build it according to the current situation of the Jincha Special District and the priorities of development.

"Although I'm the Commissioner of the Jincha Special District, I can't be responsible for specific work." Having said this, Chu Feng looked at Li Mingqiang and said, "Old Li, you've been in our division, doing mass work. I'm planning to set up a Jincha Special District Government Affairs Office. You'll be the director and be fully responsible for the work of the Jincha Special District. What do you think?"

"Of course, you can't abandon the army's affairs."
