200 Centralized management
Bang!
Li Wei threw a document on the table and let the cabinet officials present pass on it.
"Our front is tight, but the labor service behind us has been repeatedly attacked. If this continues, the material advantage we have in the confrontation with the French Revolutionary Government will sooner or later be wiped out by these troubled guerrillas!
No matter how difficult it is now, I think it’s time to implement the strategic plan for the concentration of labor firms.”
As soon as Li Wei's voice came out, the cabinet officials present suddenly felt a chill rising from the soles of their feet.
The concentration camp plan was naturally not proposed by Li Wei now. After the Li Wei regime moved south, the size of the labor camps was growing, so this backup plan was established.
It was just that after sorting and deducing by officials from various departments of the cabinet, very bad results were obtained.
Concentration is to distribute labor offices evenly to laborers working in various cities and towns, and forcibly concentrate them in big cities and near strongholds with large troops to facilitate management.
But there are three major disadvantages to doing this.
First, in this way, we must give up the original labor work location and even establish a new workshop-style production base in the concentration camp, which will undoubtedly add an additional burden.
In addition, the gathering of large amounts of labor will also cause severe population pressure on the local area, requiring a large amount of food and other supplies.
Obviously, this is impossible, and the Li Wei regime cannot devote too much money to it.
Since it cannot be compensated with money, it can only reduce the operating and management costs by reducing the quality of life of labor in concentration camps...
This leads to the second major drawback!
Because the quality of life of workers is greatly reduced, the labor mortality rate in concentration camps will be far beyond the previous model of small labor camps scattered in various places.
In the short term, it may not be much. In the long term, this is equivalent to greatly accelerating the blood loss rate of labor force in labor agencies. More labor must be supplemented to ensure that the productivity of concentration camps does not decline.
The third major disadvantage is political. Concentration camp management is a very inhuman behavior even in this era. These knowledgeable cabinet bosses can imagine how many human tragedies will be caused by the laborers in concentration camps that do not have enough material supply but need to work in a row...
You should know that most of the workers in the concentration camp are French (there were subsequently joined by many Spanish prisoners of war, which made the proportion of French workers no longer 100%. Concentration camp management is simply abusing French compatriots, and such a large-scale concentration camp cannot conceal the news.
When the tragedy of the concentration camp spread throughout France, the French revolutionary government will not only receive a large number of historical evidence that criticized the Levi regime, but will also cause great panic among the people within the Levi regime.
Although there are no crimes against humanity in this era, there is still a concept of anti-humanity.
If Li Wei is labeled as an anti-human being, it will inevitably have a certain political impact on the internal rule of the Li Wei regime.
Perhaps the Black Dragon Legion will not be affected, but the enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers of the garrison and standing legions will definitely decline.
After all, no one is really willing to work hard for a butcher demon...
Of course, the benefits of concentration camp management are also obvious. One of the keys is what Li Wei values most now-
It can prevent those workers from being ‘rescued’ by the guerrillas again, thereby strengthening the guerrillas’ strength and weakening their own logistics productivity.
Only this advantage is needed, in Li Wei's eyes, which can make up for the above three major disadvantages.
So what if you don’t have the hearts of the people?
The tragedy in the world is like a white-skinned pig. If it were someone Li Wei knew, Li Wei might not be able to bear it, but he died at the bottom of the labor camp, which can only be regarded as cold numbers in Li Wei's eyes.
Although the cabinet officials present had countless reasons to refute Li Wei's concentration camp plan, the loyalty of these administratively enlightened officials to Li Wei is beyond doubt. After seeing Li Wei make up his mind this time, everyone naturally did not dare to express their refutation.
Relying on administrative enlightenment, Li Wei has many officials in the cabinet team, but it is a veritable one-man show.
To the outside world, the cabinet government of the Kingdom of New France is one of the highest authority, and it is even on an equal footing compared with Levi, the regent.
But internally, the cabinet government is actually the answer to assisting Levi in executing the government orders. Levi is the brain of the New France Kingdom, and the cabinet is the torso of the New France Kingdom.
"My wise and foresighted, the concentration camp plan is the best medicine to deal with the current difficulties!"
The director of the Labor Dispatch Department took the lead in responding, and then a series of echoes rang out in the conference room.
Li Wei waved his hand lazily. Faced with this kind of response of the group, Li Wei had long been accustomed to solving the problem of attacks on the labor camp's base. Most of the hidden dangers of the Li Wei regime in the rear of the directly-governed areas in southwestern France were eliminated.
Although the guerrillas were joking, because they had no unity and even had regional conflicts, the French revolutionary government could not go deep into the enemy's back to lead them, which made the guerrillas gathered very thin. Even if the Li Wei regime was tight in front of the front, the guerrillas were unable to attack big cities and transportation key points.
Big cities, transportation points, and labor agency production bases will not be attacked, and the Li Wei regime will be able to maintain the front line.
No matter how happy the guerrillas in other places are, they cannot hurt the foundation behind Li Wei's regime.
After all, there is an essential difference between the guerrillas of this era and the guerrillas of Li Wei during the 20th century war in the world history of the previous life.
After solving this problem, Li Wei looked at Manide, who was in charge of the Military Intelligence Bureau.
"Have you found out the task I gave you?"
"Sir, I have found out the reason why the combat effectiveness of the revolutionary army in the country saved has suddenly increased compared to the army before the French Revolutionary Government.
Before Robertspierre reformed the Revolutionary Army of the National Saving Country, the French Revolutionary Government had serious internal struggles. Except for the revolutionary army reorganized in some revolutionary cities, most of the regular army was not much different from the old-style army of the French Kingdom period.
This is also one of the reasons why we can continue to win in the early stage.
However, after Robert Spear came to power, he not only inherited the original land distribution policy, but also greatly strengthened his efforts to include the property of the church.
And no longer conduct large-scale auctions of land, but allocate land to local farmers to win over the hearts of the people!
