    Qin Baoshan's words made all the people present serious, and the few people who could participate in this topic gathered together, with doubts on their faces.

    Fighting, isn't it good to have more troops?  Needless to say, there are more people fighting than fighting.  The more people the Eighth Route Army develops, the greater the strength of the Eighth Route Army. Isn't this a good thing?  Now Qin Baoshan actually said that he wanted to reduce the army?

    If it were a different person, it is estimated that the big guys would have started to argue with him by now.  But now it is Qin Baoshan who is talking, and everyone knows his abilities, so now everyone is just waiting for his explanation.

    At this time, even Leader Xu was a little surprised.  If the reduction of military and political organs mentioned above, leader Xu can still accept it.  After all, in the military at all levels, the institutions are a bit bloated, and those that should be removed can be removed, which can indeed reduce the number of mouths to eat.  But leader Xu also felt that it was inappropriate to talk about reducing the army.

    Seeing everyone's expectant eyes, Qin Baoshan knew that what he said really caused their incomprehension, and he had to explain it carefully.

    In fact, who doesn't know, there are more people, it's easier to fight.  But there are too many people, and there are too many mouths. If you can't even eat enough, what's the point of fighting?  If the common people contribute their own rations to support the army, then the army will not be able to develop.  Now we are facing this problem.

    Looking at the whole world, only the Soviets can play like this. The Soviets can put all their men into the army and let those women work on the production line. As for their food, they can be assisted by the United Kingdom and the United States.  The Soviets relied on this kind of competition to win World War II.  But Britain and the United States can assist the Soviet Union, but it is impossible to assist China on a large scale.  The small amount of aid also reached Lao Jiang's hands, so how could Lao Jiang distribute it to the Eighth Route Army?  The Eighth Route Army can only rely on the common people in the base areas and rely on self-reliance to solve these problems.  So it can't be too big.

    "Last year, Yan'an issued an instruction called "Instructions on Saving Manpower and Material Resources in the Anti-Japanese Base Areas to Persevere in Long-term Wars", which clearly requires that the proportion of off-duty personnel and the population of the base areas should not exceed 3%  The ratio of the military to the party and government agencies should not be lower than two to one." Qin Baoshan was the first to present this evidence.  This is not what he said casually, it was instructed by the superior in a special document.  This 3% ratio is not casually stated, but has a scientific basis.  If it exceeds this ratio, it will bring a great burden to the common people.  In the past, this ratio was not a problem, but now that the base areas and guerrilla areas of the Eighth Route Army are shrinking, and the army of the Eighth Route Army is growing again, this ratio is not only three percent, but even more than five percent.

    Hearing what Qin Baoshan said, Leader Xu nodded solemnly: "Yes, the document you mentioned is indeed there, but now we need to constantly deal with the enemy's raids and encirclement. If we reduce the number of armed personnel, then we  This war may not be won.¡±

    The Shandong region is facing an extremely severe situation.  There are so many devils trying to encircle them and destroy them.  Now that one more person takes up a gun to fight devils, that is also beneficial.  So they did not implement this document seriously.

    "But as long as this ratio is exceeded, it will mean that it will bring a heavy burden to the people, and it means that our army will be hungry." Qin Baoshan solemnly said to Leader Xu: "Unless the extra troops raise their own food  , there is no need for ordinary people to raise money. Otherwise, the food for the troops will not be enough to eat, and they will definitely starve."

    Needless to say, ordinary soldiers are hungry, even if they are leaders, they are also hungry.  Leader Xu ate a full meal just now. Although what he said was joking, it also revealed this situation.

    Now the Eighth Route Army in the Shandong area is basically starving.  If they are capable, for example, like Li Yunlong.  If they can win battles and continue to get military supplies from the little devils, they can distribute them as much as they want.  But the situation in Shandong cannot be compared with that in Shanxi.  The living space of the Eighth Route Army here is constantly being squeezed by little devils.  In this case, it's good that they can hold on.  Occasionally hit the little devil, and you won't get too much supplies.  It is precisely because of this that the first regiment won this battle, and everyone in the regiment was very excited.  When the news spreads, it will also bring the confidence of victory to the whole Shandong.  It is because they really lack such victories.

    Therefore, their rations are mainly raised by the common people.  In this case, if the army is too large.  Then obviously there will be problems.

      Leader Xu nodded: "You're right. Our troops have always been short of rations. But if we reduce our troops, it will cause a decline in combat effectiveness, and in the end, we will even be completely crushed by the little devils. How can we solve this problem?  ?¡±

    This seems to be unsolvable.  If you want to defeat the devils, you need as many people as possible.  But with more people, there will be more mouths to eat, and the common people can no longer afford to support them.  This is simply an insoluble contradiction.

    Hearing Leader Xu's words, Qin Baoshan nodded: "Yes, this is indeed a big problem, but as long as you think about it, there is always a solution. For example, we reduce the strength of the regular army. Only the most elite troops are left  , become elite soldiers. Those who are left can make them local troops. They themselves are not out of production. Fighting while producing, that's all right."

    The militia is such a force.  They produce and fight at the same time.  They solve their own ration problems by themselves, and at the same time they can become an anti-Japanese force.  But the militia is a minority after all, and many militias are willing to have a strong willingness to join the regular army, which has led to an increasing number of regular troops.  Now what Qin Baoshan means is to do the opposite, break up some of them and reassign them to other places.

    "Soldiers are expensive and not expensive. Some troops with poor combat effectiveness are of no use except to waste food. Assign those soldiers with weak combat effectiveness to become guerrillas or armed forces. Let them  The enemy's rear becomes a force that can come and go freely. And our regular army can increase its combat effectiveness. This is killing two birds with one stone."

    Qin Baoshan's words finally won the approval of Leader Xu.  This is also the best way to solve the current problem.  Organize those troops with poor combat effectiveness to local places, and let them fight while producing.  This will solve the problem of food shortage.  As for those party and government agencies, they need to be streamlined even more.  Even the troops on the front line must be streamlined.  Those party and government organs that can be reduced will be reduced, and those cadres will be assigned to the localities to do their work.  This will also save food.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
