Anti-Japanese War: When I get promoted, the system will explode with soldiers
Chapter 659: Huge Investment in the Grassland
Li Shaoyi had asked someone to investigate these two-country families on the Xiongnu grasslands before, and found that there were about four to six thousand of them, which was not a large number. If it were more, Li Shaoyi would have other ideas. Now it only involves ten to twenty thousand people, and a one-size-fits-all approach is the best solution.
Otherwise, he is a Rakshasa himself. The probability of you expecting him to be loyal to you is too low. When the war breaks out, these people will be the first group of guides. In order to prevent that from happening, let them get out now.
"I think so too. There are a lot of spies among these people. Instead of wasting time identifying them one by one, it would be better to expel them all. However, some of them have relied on the Rakshasa army to kill herdsmen on the grasslands. These people..."
Sukhbaruso obviously obtained more information about this group of people than Li Shaoyi.
"Then let these people stay on the grassland forever. Since they've committed a crime, they don't have to leave. But we need to understand all the ins and outs. We need to establish a grassland ruled by law. Even if there are grievances, we must take formal measures. Judicial institutions must be established in all regions. We must also use this opportunity to let those herders know that their tribal leaders can't get justice for them, but our judicial institutions can."
Sukhbaru would spend a long time to learn some of the things Li Shaoyi said casually. This guy's admiration for Li Shaoyi had reached an unprecedented level. He always felt that he could learn for a long time just by listening to what Li Shaoyi said.
Looking at Sukhbaru taking notes beside him, Li Shaoyi nodded with a smile. Although this young man had little education before, he is learning fast now. This is a sign of his desire to make progress. We have to give him a chance.
"How are your uncle's group of Xiongnu princes?"
After talking about the Xiongnu army and the people, it was these princes on the Xiongnu grassland who were gone. To be honest, Li Shaoyi didn't have a very good impression of these people. After all, without them, how could the Xiongnu grassland be separated? This is our country's barrier in the north.
"If there hadn't been a war, resolving the issues on the grassland peacefully would have been very difficult, because the princes all had deep-rooted power on the grassland. But now that's no longer necessary. After this war, their armies have either been wiped out or no one trusts them anymore. These people are just the more affluent common people."
Sukhbaru still had a certain sympathy for these feudal princes. After all, he also came from this class, but he also knew very well that in the future, these people would inevitably withdraw from the political stage because there was no place for them here.
"Then let them live as ordinary people. If they want to manage the grassland again, they must pass our government examination. I have ordered some people from the Military Intelligence Bureau to keep a close eye on these guys. If anyone is found communicating with Luosha inside or outside, don't blame me for being rude."
Li Shaoyi knew that Sukhbaru still had connections with these people, so he used Sukhbaru's mouth to make these people behave themselves. Of course, this might be a very difficult process. After all, from those in power to ordinary people, many people could not stand the gap and secretly wanted to restore their former glory.
In the next few days, Li Shaoyi met with some leading figures on the Xiongnu grasslands one after another. These people no longer had the pride they once had. With the support of Luosha, they had once confronted the Beiyang government head-on, but when facing Li Shaoyi at this moment, most of them lowered their heads.
As for the small group who refused to bow their heads, they were all stuffed into military vehicles after the meeting, and then the vehicles drove deep into the grassland. Many people had their mouths blocked and could not say a word. Even pigs could imagine the fate of these people.
No one criticized Li Shaoyi for being too cruel. You were given a chance when the regime changed, but you couldn't seize it and still wanted to do hard shit here. Then you can only go to the deep grassland to do it for the rest of your life.
In addition to military matters, Li Shaoyi has also made plans for the economy of the grassland. Large cities and resource-based cities will be built in a few areas, while other places will maintain the original ecology of the grassland. People will farm where they should farm and graze where they should graze. In short, the original appearance will be maintained. The grazing area occupies 90% of the entire grassland.
As for the industrial areas around large cities, they must also be based on the surrounding resources and cannot be developed blindly. At the same time, the transportation network of the entire grassland is planned.
Over a period of seven years, an investment of approximately 65 million oceans was made to reorganize the transportation lines across the entire grassland, build two main railways and more than a dozen roads.
According to the normal budget, the price would be at least doubled to one and a half times higher, but because there were a large number of Japanese and Russian prisoners of war, there was no shortage of labor, so a lot of money was saved.
As for the rails for building the railways, Western countries just happened to have a batch of them that were about to be retired, and they were all sold at the price of scrap iron. This could be considered as strategic support for Li Shaoyi. After all, the construction of these railways was also to better wage war against the Russians.
Speaking of this matter, we have to talk about Li Sibei's deception. When meeting with ministers from various countries, Li Sibei said with tears in his eyes that we achieved victory over Luosha, but it was also at a painful price. The ministers of Western countries also agreed with this. After all, in their minds, the impression that the Dragon Army had always been that its combat effectiveness was not high. Even if they won, it was normal to suffer heavy losses.
So in this situation, Li Sibei took the opportunity to put forward some demands, and the Western countries could not refuse. After all, those scrap metals would be of no use in the future if left alone, so it would be better to transport them directly to Li Shaoyi.
What's more, these railways are of strategic use. If there were these railways on the grassland now, would Li Shaoyi still say that transportation is not possible?
Moreover, with the construction of the railway, Russia will have to strengthen the Far East Military Region and the East Siberia Military Region, so its strength in Europe will be reduced, and the pressure will fall on Li Shaoyi. This can be regarded as achieving part of their goals. As for Li Shaoyi's life or death, these people don't care.
So when Li Shaoyi asked them for money, he was very aggressive. From the beginning of the Luosha War to the present, the total amount of aid provided by Western countries to Li Shaoyi has reached nearly 120 million oceans...
