Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2666 5 people

Outer Mongolia has been sparsely populated since ancient times, so even a central city like Ulaanbaatar is not as prosperous as the third-tier cities in mainland China before the war.Naturally, even if the former Mongolian dignitaries in Ulaanbaatar wanted to entertain Ouyang Yun well, but conditions did not allow them, they could only work as much as possible in other aspects.After the Outer Mongolia region has become a number of provinces in China, all high-level local officials will be appointed by the coalition government. In order to maintain local stability, at least for a long period of time, high-level officials will basically be appointed by local people.The coalition government's unprecedented refusal to implement the policy of ethnic autonomy made the powerful class in Outer Mongolia feel uneasy and unsure of what kind of future they were about to face.The fact that the coalition government released this news at this time offset their worries to a certain extent, and also made them dare to work hard on the trivial matters of receiving Ouyang Yun, just to get a good impression.

Ouyang Yun came to Outer Mongolia as the Communist Party Secretary and Defense Minister, and his main purpose was to show the importance he attached to Outer Mongolia.Outer Mongolia is too far away from the mainland, and it is not easy to come here once. He also needs to meet the local powerful class to understand the local situation and establish basic trust with future local officials.So in his schedule, he will stay in Ulaanbaatar for five days.

After the foundation laying ceremony, Stilwell watched Ouyang Yun's motorcade drive towards the city instead of the airport in the southern suburbs. He breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time pulled Geng Bigong to follow closely.

The current political system in Outer Mongolia is imported from the Soviet Union, and there are too many shadows of the Soviet Russian system in it.Although Outer Mongolia claims to implement socialism, in fact the people in power are still the former Mongolian princes and nobles.Now, accompanying Ouyang Yun are several former princes and nobles who are now the leaders of a certain party.

Inspired by Ouyang Yun’s speech at the groundbreaking ceremony, several high-level military and political leaders in Outer Mongolia were expressing their determination to him, saying that they would firmly support the central government’s policy of dividing Outer Mongolia into provinces and keeping the military state-owned. Under the leadership of Premier Ouyang, they will stand resolutely and bravely with the [-] million compatriots and jointly resist the Japanese aggression.

Ouyang Yun came all the way to participate in the foundation laying ceremony of the Genghis Khan Memorial Hall, of course, it is impossible not to have other purposes.Japan's aggression and the seven-year war of resistance have done too much damage to China's vitality.The most obvious of these is the lack of strong labor.Those who joined the army were killed and disabled, and those who were killed by the Japanese in vain.Although the coalition government does not yet have specific figures in this regard, it can be roughly estimated.With the recovery of the Japanese-occupied areas such as East China and Central China, this problem became more prominent, and even many troops had to pick up hoes to help the local people farm the land to speed up the reconstruction process after fighting the Japanese army.

"It is definitely a good thing to take back the Outer Mongolia area. Apart from anything else, the Mongols have been the best source of soldiers since ancient times... Why not recruit troops from Mongolia? Mongolia has always been a militaristic nation, and more soldiers can be recruited from Mongolia , then the Han people can have fewer people join the army. The manpower saved is just used for farming. In terms of farming, how come the Mongols are not as good as our Han people?" It still comes from Lao Jiang's suggestion.Although Lao Jiang's suggestion may not be entirely out of selfishness, Ouyang Yun, who is worried about the lack of troops and hesitates whether to recruit strong men, can't control that much.And after careful consideration, Ouyang Yun has the confidence to turn it into a good thing.

In the Nomenkan incident, the Mongolian army was also on the winning side.Although in the eyes of experts, the Mongolian army in that battle was actually just a pawn carrying the flag with the Soviet Russian Red Army, but the Mongolians themselves would not think so.When the Central Army was defeated by the Japanese army and had to retreat again and again, the Mongols were always complacent with "We killed the little Japanese at Nuomenkan" and looked at the Chinese government. He couldn't help but hold his head high.This is also the confidence that they dared to say in front of Ouyang Yun, "Stand resolutely and bravely with the [-] million compatriots and jointly resist the Japanese aggression".But the next moment, when Ouyang Yun said that he wanted to recruit soldiers from the Mongols, they were collectively dumbfounded.

The Mongols attached great importance to their promises. They just said that they were willing to resist the Japanese aggression together with [-] million compatriots. Of course, it was impossible to refuse Ouyang Yun's request at this time.And they also noticed that Ouyang Yun did not use a discussing tone.In other words, Ouyang Yun was actually conveying the decision of the Supreme Command to them.

"The country is in the autumn of major events. I am very pleased that the Mongolians can share the country's worries. Well, I really hope that some of them can become generals of the new China after going through the baptism of war..." Ignoring the anxious eyes of several Mongolians, Ouyang Yun said to himself.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I don't know how many people the central government intends to recruit from Outer Mongolia. Our population in Outer Mongolia is not very large. I am only worried that recruiting too many young and strong will affect the development of animal husbandry and regional stability—" A few minutes later, Griletu, the former vice chairman of the Mongolian People's Republic and now the mayor of Ulaanbaatar, said in a low voice.

"How many people do you think are more suitable?" Ouyang Yun asked instead of answering Geriletu's question.

Geriletu and the others looked at each other, and they all saw panic in each other's eyes. Later, he gritted his teeth and said, "I thought it couldn't exceed 10 people."

Since the Outer Mongolia region already belongs to China, it is justifiable for the central government to recruit troops from the Outer Mongolia region.However, once they recalled that during the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Qing court had always insisted on implementing a policy of reducing the number of Mongolians in order to curb Mongolian power, Geriletu and others had to worry that the current government also had such intentions.

In the hearts of the Han people, Ouyang Yun is indeed a great hero, but in the hearts of the Mongols, Ouyang Yun is no different from a devil.It is true that the battlefield discipline of the Xuebing Army killed the Japanese, but the Japanese were not the only ones who were deterred.However, it was Ouyang Yun that Geriletu and the others were facing now.

"10? No, it doesn't need that many, 5 is enough. Don't worry, since Outer Mongolia has been brought under the jurisdiction of the coalition government, we will treat you all equally. Do you think I will let innocent soldiers die? I Ouyang Yun has been fighting for seven or eight years, and it seems that he has never done such a thing before."

"Only 5 people are needed!" The number reported by Ouyang Yun was far lower than the bottom line preset by Geriletu and others, and they couldn't believe it.

"5 people!" Ouyang Yun confirmed again.

Only then did Geriletu and the others show a sincere smile on their faces.

Seeing their faces open like chrysanthemums, Ouyang Yun narrowed his eyes and laughed accordingly.
