Chapter 384 Reunion in Zhengzhou (1)

1o8619o8 Far East Madman Chapter 384 Reunion of Zhengzhou

This is now the logistics base of the United Front Northern Expedition Force. Every day, trains from the south and north must pass through Zhengzhou Railway Station. The current Zhengzhou Railway Station is the busiest railway station in China. The mountains of military supplies piled up in the railway station are the best proof.

In order to better allocate military supplies, the dispatch room of the railway station was actually commanded by the General Staff of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of the United Front. Although the dispatchers were still railway workers, they no longer obeyed the orders of the Jinghan Railway Company but were included in the military as military auxiliary personnel and could also receive a combat allowance.

Although a ceasefire has been achieved between the north and the south, the military trains coming from the south are still constantly transporting military supplies and troops to the north bank of the Yellow River. If those who are optimistic about the significant progress of this North-South peace talks can come to the Zhengzhou Railway Station to take a look, they will definitely change their original ideas.

"In my opinion, the United Front's sincerity for peace is questionable. It can be seen from the trains of the Zhengzhou Railway Station that are constantly running north. Although the staff officer on duty at the railway station did promise to me that these northbound military trains transport "irrelevant goods, in my opinion, even if the trains are covered with cloth shoes, straw hats can be used to carry out the final blow to the Beiyang Group because in people's eyes, even if the United Front uses wooden sticks, it can completely drive Beiyang out of Beijing.

In fact, jokes about the weak combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Army have begun to circulate in the rural areas of Henan. Even many rural farmers think that the Beiyang Army is vulnerable. They have begun to actively sign up for the army. Of course, they are participating in the revolutionary armed forces of the United Front. This obviously shows that people are more optimistic about the military future of the United Front. Of course, there seems to be some reasons why the military government has implemented new policies in Henan. It is said that Commander-in-Chief Zhao's first pound after entering Zhengzhou. The administrative order is to reduce the exemption of Henan Township.

The village's land tax and the "Small Farmland Taxation Law" has also been officially announced in various parts of Henan. This law promises to exempt small peasants who own only five acres of land from preferential treatment. Only when the total number of land owned by each household exceeds five acres of land will the land tax be expropriated. This law first appeared in people's sight on the eve of the last expropriation war. Obviously, through this unique law, we can see how brilliant Commander-in-Chief Zhao was in the hearts of people.

Although the rural farmers in Henan have not yet officially realized the actual benefits this law brings to them, the facts will surely prove that Commander-in-Chief Zhao will soon become the real master of Henan. Everything he had born in Hubei has proved this point. The "Small Farmland Fu Shu Free Law" has been implemented in Hubei for more than half a year. Hubei's rural farmers have tasted the sweetness. For these people at the bottom of society, Commander-in-Chief Zhao is no longer a code name but a pound of small "Master Qingtian". In previous reports, I have emphasized many times that this country is a pound of small agricultural country. Whoever controls the farmers will master the people. Obviously, Commander-in-Chief Zhao's views are the same as me. He does not seem to care about the hostility of the rural forces to the "Small Farmland Fu Bracelet Free Law" and he bravely implemented a small improvement on the land system that has been in place for thousands of years.

Of course, the "Small Farmland Tax and Shu Exemption Law" also has its drawbacks. The most obvious drawback is that it has caused a sharp decline in agricultural taxation. According to the analysis of the data I obtained from a French missionary, in the eastern part of Hubei, agricultural taxation decreased by 70% in the first half of this year due to the implementation of this law. Among them, there are both legal reductions and illegal reductions. According to the missionary, many landlords split the large property under their name into small pieces and transferred it to their relatives and even tenants, but the land rent is collected. According to the provisions of the "Small Farmland Tax and Shu Exemption Law", these small pieces of farmland do not need to be paid tax. Obviously, the landlords have found loopholes in the law and used this loophole smartly and cunningly. This situation has aggravated the financial tension of the military government. Although the military government has long anticipated this situation.

As a counterattack against this illegal behavior, the military government is now further strengthening the construction of the "hoe club". They plan to use this rural cooperative organization to improve their grassroots control over the countryside. I believe that it will not take long for this kind of social organization with a strong official color to be seen everywhere. It is likely to replace the position of Zhuzhong Group in the countryside. In order to completely change the grassroots organization structure of this country. Once this structure is changed, then the country will truly take the first step in modernization.

Of course, as a backward agricultural country, this country cannot complete modernization in a short period of time, or it may take one or two generations to reach the threshold of modernization. In this process, the country must also maintain a peaceful situation and sovereignty independence. This is obviously a very difficult task. The Beiyang Group cannot be competent for this task. As for the United Front, it is difficult to say that the current political leader of the United Front is a soldier who is not very friendly to the United Kingdom. Without the support of the United Kingdom, it is actually impossible to maintain a peaceful situation.

So I think the task now before Commander-in-Chief Zhao and the United Front is not how to completely defeat the Beiyang group militarily. But how to obtain diplomatic support from the British government. For the British government, whether they are willing to admit the facts, the Beiyang has collapsed. This military and political group is already on the verge of division. The British government must change its hostile position to the United Front as soon as possible to maintain peace in the Far East with the United Front because this is the most realistic choice of interests for both sides."

Sitting by the window, the British Times' Far East entrance was in a serious manner, and Xunjing was carefully sorting out his manuscript and slapped the train knife. However, he had already completed the first report on Zhengzhou in one go.

After modifying the wording of the British government, Mo Lixun stood up and looked out the window.

This is a small hotel next to Zhengzhou Railway Station. Standing in front of the window, you can see a switch at the railway station. Now a train is passing through, and it is not an ordinary train. But an armored train is the armored train that has made great contributions in the Henan Battle.

Now the armored train is escorting a train filled with railroad tracks and railway supplies following behind slowly heading north through the switch.

Mo Lixun watched the armored train head north with great interest and then took it back to start another report.

"Although I am a military train, I also know what the armored train means. This powerful weapon seems a bit too hard for this country. But I must also admit that Commander-in-Chief Zhao has a very good vision. He fully demonstrated his military talent in this war. He has proved the military value of this new machine through his bold use of the aircraft. Now even the British officials have to admit that the planes that were once scoffed at by them are making them feel uneasy. Of course, it is just uneasy. British officials have never believed that this machine can fundamentally change the appearance of the war. They insist that on the battlefield, cannons are everything and the same is true on the ocean."

Mo Lixun wrote that the door of the guest room was knocked from outside.

"Please come in. Mo Lixun put down his pen and looked up.

The hotel clerk led an officer into the room. The officer walked to Mo Lixun and saluted and said, "Mr. Mo Lixun is welcome. This is the business card you just sent. Please take it back now. If it is convenient for you now, please come with me and I will take you to see the commander-in-chief."

After saying that, the officer took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Mo Lixun.

This business card is Zhao Bei's special business card. Generally, only given to specific people. People who own this business card can apply directly to the relevant parties and then have the opportunity to speak directly with Zhao Bei. So. This is actually a privileged business card. Owning this kind of business card is equivalent to establishing a direct contact with Zhao Bei.

Of course, you can see the commander-in-chief just by having a business card. It depends on whether the commander-in-chief has time and how he feels when he receives the business card. If he is in a bad mood, he will often call a guard to talk to the business card holder to see what is going on.

Mo Lixun's business card was given to him after the last interview in Wuhan. Zhao Bei gave him this time. He went south from Beijing to Zhengzhou. He specially carried the business card with him to Zhengzhou after conducting another interview with the commander-in-chief. He Lixuan handed the business card to a senior officer of the General Staff on duty at the railway station. The other party was obviously very efficient. This time, the interview was revealed in just a few hours.

Mo Lixun carefully put his business card in close proximity. Then he sorted out his dress and called the hotel staff to wipe his leather shoes before picking up his hat. He followed the officer away from the hotel calmly.

What surprised Mo Lixun was that Zhao Bei actually sent a car to pick him up. Although he didn't understand why the commander-in-chief was so polite to an Australian reporter, Mo Lixun still got in the car openly and was escorted to the headquarters by the officers.

The officer went in and reported for a moment before turning back. He invited Mo Lixun to the headquarters.

Following the officers around the headquarters, Mo Lixun looked at the murals on the corridor while thinking about how to say hello after seeing the commander-in-chief's face. Is it better to call "Commander-in-chief. Or "Chairman".

Finally, the officer stopped and Mo Lixun realized that he had arrived in front of a small study. At this moment, two strange-looking guards stood outside the door of the small study, and the voice of a young woman came from behind the vacant door.

"Commander-in-chief, this sentence "It is better to pursue the remaining bravery and not seek fame and learning the overlords. It is really well written, but the words are ugly. This poem has no beginning and end, but it is the word you hang on the wall with "The tiger is better than the dragon and the sky is now overwhelming. It is a common sympathy."

"Hehe! Don't look down on my brush calligraphy. My brush calligraphy is something I practiced by myself. I didn't ask anyone to give me some advice and copied it according to the copybook. This is real. I am really honest and I don't need others to point fingers in my writing like I am a human being."

A man's voice came from the room. Mo Lixun heard that the person who spoke was Zhao Bei, the chairman of the United Front and the commander-in-chief.

"Haha! I have another shortcomings of the Commander-in-Chief. You are not humble! When Cuiyi comes, I will go and tell her if Cuiyi likes humble people or people who are arrogant?"

The young woman's chuckled again from the room, and the door was opened by someone. A fat young woman walked out of the study with a handbag and looked like a student.

"Hello, a foreign female student made a face at Mo Lixun when she walked past him. She said hello to him in French with turtle feet and walked away in the fragrant wind.

"Mr. Mo Lixun, why do you always look at the little girl? I've already walked away and asked about the little girl's name?"
