You Mingqian said: "But there are problems with this. Judging from the current situation, this war can be all over this year at the latest. After we signed a negotiation treaty with the Japanese and Russian troops, these prisoners will definitely be released. At that time, the labor force in the Northeast will experience a cliff-like decline. In this short period of 8 or 9 months, even smaller projects will not be completed, and all the labor force will be withdrawn. So what should we do if these unfinished projects? Let's go there to find someone to fill the labor gap?"

After hearing this, everyone realized that this was indeed a problem, because the development of the Northeast was a long-term process, and the initial stage was definitely based on infrastructure and farmland water conservancy construction, and that project could not be completed within 3 or 5 months. If the project is halfway through, the prisoners will be released and returned, leaving behind unfinished projects, but also consumed a lot of manpower and material resources.

Jia Zhenzhao said: "Then pay attention to when formulating the development plan. The time for all projects should not exceed 9 months. Even large-scale projects will be completed in stages. As long as the time for each phase is controlled within 9 months, there will be no unfinished projects. In fact, I think the project time can be relaxed a little, and it will be fine if it is put into one year. After all, even if a peace treaty is negotiated, it will take time to implement it. We can also ask Japan and Russia to pay the compensation first and then release it. No matter how it is, it can be delayed for a few months, which is enough for us to complete it."

You Mingqian said: "Commissioner Jia's plan is of course feasible, but it still cannot solve the problem of Guan Jianxing. First of all, projects within one year will not be big projects, so they are of little significance to the development of the Northeast. Moreover, before the end of the war, we cannot take many major projects in the Northeast. It is estimated that most of these prisoners will engage in logistics to support the war. The real large-scale development of the Northeast should be after the end of the war, but by that time, these prisoners will not actually be very useful. The problem of lack of labor in the Northeast has not been fundamentally solved."

Jia Zhenzhao said: "Let's take a step by step. Solving the population problem in the Northeast is not a matter of overnight. Use these prisoners first. You can't let them eat free food. Raising more than 600,000 people is indeed a huge burden for us."

Ye Yanfu said: "I have a way. If we can gain a clear advantage on the battlefield, then in the negotiations at the end of the war, we can increase the cost of redemption of prisoners, increase the difficulty for Japan and Russia, and force Japan and Russia to give up their captives, or give up some of the prisoners. Or let Japan and Russia use the method of paying compensation in installments and use the prisoners as the bottom of payment of compensation, so that these prisoners can be kept for a few years, which is enough for our labor force for a period of time."

Li Sanjie said: "This is not a problem. As long as we fight well on the battlefield, I have the confidence to negotiate similar terms during negotiations."

Wang Jun said: "But this is not a long-term solution. It is basically impossible for Japan and Russia to completely give up prisoners, and we cannot ask for a huge price on the prisoners. Even if the prisoners are used as the bottom line for paying compensation, it will be at most 3 or 4 years. The labor force in the Northeast will still be a problem. But I have an idea, let's discuss it and see if it is feasible. According to our military plan, we will land in Japan and destroy the Japanese mainland to weaken Japan's war power, right?"

Xia Bohai said: "Yes, this plan has been mentioned just now. Do you have any ideas?"

Wang Jun said: "Catching people is also a kind of destruction."

Xia Bohai was stunned and said, "Catch someone? What do you mean..."

Wang Jun said: "My idea is to take advantage of our army's opportunity to land in Japan. It is not just a destruction, but to directly capture the Japanese people to fill the population in the Northeast. Anyway, arresting people can be considered as damaging the Japanese mainland. Moreover, the people we arrested include men and women. If possible, we can also capture a group of teenagers, so that they can form families in the Northeast and take root in the Northeast completely. Moreover, the harm to Japan is also quite great. It is much more effective than simply smashing, smashing, looting and burning."

After hearing Wang Jun's words, everyone was also thinking about the possibility of Wang Jun's idea. Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng, Xiao Jianjun and others also exchanged several glances with each other, but did not speak.

After a while, You Mingqian said: "I agree with Member Wang's idea. This is indeed the best way to solve the population of Northeast China. At least there is no better way at the moment."

Lu Hong said: "It's too exaggerated. How many people can we catch from Japan? Even if it's 1 million or 1.5 million, it won't be much of a solution to the population problem in Northeast China."

Wang Jun said: "You can't say that. We estimate that if we catch 1 million people from Japan, it will certainly be a drop in the bucket if we put these people in Liaoning Province, but if we put these people in Heilongjiang Province, it will be different. Heilongjiang Province now has only 1.4 million, which will almost double this time. Of course, it will play a major role in improving the population in the Northeast."

Zhang Yuming said: "But this will not cause the population proportion imbalance in Heilong Province. Japanese people will account for about 40%, which will cause more. In the future, it may cause great trouble. For example, Japanese people will demand independence or division. In more serious cases, they may also require returning to Japan, so we must act cautiously."

Shang Qisong suddenly interrupted: "If this idea is implemented, in addition to the issues mentioned by Member Zhang just now, it will easily create enough room for Japanese spies to move. I hope to fully consider this factor when making decisions." Although Shang Qisong is also one of the members of the military working group, he usually rarely speaks and will only make statements when it comes to intelligence work, but his attitude is generally highly valued.

Wang Jun said: "It is hard to say whether the troubles that Commissioner Zhang said in the future will be caused by the troubles, but I think it depends on two points. First, our own national strength development. If we develop well and make the Japanese live in China better than Japan, do you see if they want to go back to Japan? As far as we know, the life of ordinary people in Japan is actually not good now, and we will continue to immigrate to the Northeast in the future, which will gradually reduce the proportion of Japanese people; second, relying on our ideological control, simple It is brainwashing, until these Japanese feel that being Chinese is glorious and being Japanese is shameful, can we solve all the troubles? Now we have this condition. We have defeated Japan on the battlefield and defeated Britain and France. In the future, we will develop better than Japan. We can completely brainwash the Japanese. As for the spy problem, I am not a professional in this area, so I can only ask the Ministry of Security to evaluate whether it is an extremely dangerous or a controllable danger."

Ye Yanfu said: "Other details can be discussed slowly, but please pay attention to one thing. If we arrest the Japanese so blatantly, it will definitely be detrimental to us in terms of international public opinion. How can we face international public opinion then?"

Jia Zhenzhao said disdainfully: "Is international public opinion beneficial to us now? After we took back the Shanghai Concession, most countries in Europe, except for a few countries, are reproaching us. After all, the international voice is now controlled by European countries. As long as we are not convinced by European countries and want to achieve the rise of a great power, don't expect international public opinion to be beneficial to us. So don't take them too seriously if international public opinion."

You Mingqian also said: "In the final analysis, this era is still the law of jungle implemented. The competition between countries depends on their own strength. If we are strong, no international public opinion will be useful; secondly, the victory is the winner on the battlefield. The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. The winner is not criticized. Japan caused the Lushun Massacre during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. At that time, Europe was also full of criticism. The Qing court still lost 200 million taels of silver. Russia invaded the northeast of our country, causing the massacre of Hailanpao and the 48tun in Jiangdong. What can it do? It still encroached on more than 1.5 million square kilometers of our land; Britain launched the Opium War to dump opium on China; the United States issued the China Exclusion Act, what is the use of international public opinion, so I think not to consider international public opinion. Everything is given priority to our interests, and do whatever we should do."

Zhang Yuming said: "Mr. You mentioned Russia just now, and I came here with an inspiration. We now have about 400,000 Russian prisoners. Why don't we draw tens of thousands of people from them and form a mercenary army to take them to Japan to fight, and then leave the Russians to do whatever they want to destroy, sweep, smash, loot, and catch people."

Wang Jun smiled and said, "What do you mean is that if you leave these dirty and bad jobs to the Russians, can we still pretend to be innocent?"

Zhang Yuming also smiled and said, "That's about it. Although international public opinion will not be beneficial to us, it sounds better at least. No matter how bad it is, it can pull the Russians into the water and bring them back."

Ye Yanfu said: "The credibility of the Russians has never been very good. What if the Russians turn against each other after they arrive in Japan?"

Zhang Yuming said: "The language is not clear, and the relationship between the Russians and Japan is not very good, so it is not easy to turn against each other. Besides, we won't..." As he said that, he waved his hand and made a chopping move, "After the Russians arrived in Japan, they immediately gave a letter of criticism, so they would not be afraid that they would turn against each other again."
