The Anshan Tangyang Road, which is close to Shengjing, is still an endless plain, but after passing Tangyang Road and entering the Panghe Road, although it is named "He", most of the landform is loess hilly area.
Commissioner Zhang’s new position is the Pacification Commissioner for the southeastern region of Anshan, specially appointed by Prince Montenegro.
The Anshan Southeast Pacification Office was mainly responsible for taking over the liberated areas after the Allied Forces' advance, maintaining peace and stability, and establishing a new local government.
The highest officials of the office are dual commissioners, with one commissioner sent by Marshal Ren Zhonglin and one commissioner sent by Montenegro.
The two sides had already divided the recovered areas.
There are fifteen prefectures in Longbei, but there are thirty-nine prefectures in Anshan. In terms of territory, Anshan Province is larger than the four Longbei provinces, mainly because the northwest region of Anshan is increasingly sparsely populated. For a long time, in some of the most remote areas in the northwest, the Anshan governor has only been the nominal highest commander, and most of them are tribal autonomous models. Moreover, those areas do not belong to the thirty-nine prefectures.
Anshan City, the capital of Anshan Province, can be regarded as a watershed. The geographical environment in its southeastern region is better than that in the northwest. Of course, compared with the other three provinces, it is still much poorer and more difficult.
According to the secret agreement between Lu Ming and Ren Zhonglin, both sides took control of the southeastern area of Anshan, which had fourteen sections, with each side occupying seven.
These fourteen provinces all have a population of over one million, and Anshan's population is extremely underreported, so basically double its actual population.
When the coalition forces first entered Anshan, they advanced quickly like a torrent of wind and rain.
The Panghe Road and Linhe Road, which were supposed to be under the management of Montenegro in the secret agreement, soon changed their flags.
A few days later, Lu Ming led the staff of the office to Linhe City, where the Linhe Provincial Office was located.
This is the hometown of Lao Catfish. When Lu Ming was still in the East China Sea, he had some stories with this area.
Basically, the Anshan model is that each province's provincial office is located in a city that is abnormally prosperous and uses the full strength of the province to build the city.
The rest of the place was horrible.
There are usually about three cities on one street in the Northern Territory. There are also some with two, three, or four cities.
Linhedao has four cities, but the other three cities are dilapidated small towns with a population of tens of thousands, similar to the Longgang County when Lu Ming first entered Longgang.
Anshan Province is so poor that the city's construction is similar to that of the county towns in the five provinces south of the Yangtze River, and is almost the same as the small towns in the Eastern Economic Alliance. As for infrastructure construction and entertainment life, it is probably not as good as the small towns in the Eastern Economic Alliance.
In Ansan, under the previous political management model, controlling the city where the provincial office was located was equivalent to controlling the province.
This is the case with Linhe City. The urban area has a large population of over 200,000. In addition to the illegal residents who make a living here without registered permanent residence, there are probably 400,000 to 500,000 people. One-fifth of the entire population of the province gathers here.
The market is abnormally prosperous, and there are also decadent music in dance halls and nightclubs.
The people at the top of the pyramid of this island all live in the central urban area of this city.
When part of the Montenegrin peacekeeping force entered the Linhe area, Lin Jiaolong, the commander of the Linhe Dao Brigade, was unaware of the situation and led his troops to resist. As a result, he was severely defeated and soon announced his surrender, welcoming the Montenegrin army into the city.
Subsequently, the secret society "Grand Guild" took over the provincial office, and Lin Shanqing, the branch chief of the Grand Guild, was appointed as the temporary governor by the Southeast Pacification Office, which had not yet arrived in Linhe, to cooperate with the peacekeeping forces to implement temporary military control.
The Grand Guild is an overseas association supported by the Special Work Department of the General Administration of Security. Its main purpose is to promote ideas such as freedom and equality in the rural areas of the Northern Territory. It uses General Lu's "Social Theory" as its guiding principle, and Nanping and Wanzhou are its propaganda models.
Nowadays, in the northern regions not far from Shengjing, some results have been seen.
At least, in several roads near Shengjing in Anshan, there were guides.
However, Lu Ming had originally planned to take a few years to settle down, but plans could not keep up with changes, and in less than a year, he returned to Shengjing.
In fact, even though Anshan's abnormal ruling model of only controlling the governor's residence was seriously insufficient in controlling the countryside, due to time constraints, the foundation of the Grand Guild was still very weak. Only in the three provinces of Tangyang, Panghe and Linhe, which were closest to Shengjing, were the branches barely able to organize people to take over the government, and they still needed the garrison of the Black Mountain Corps to operate.
Moreover, on the Linhe Road, Lu Ming received several letters of complaint halfway through, accusing Lin Shanqingcao of taking human lives and killing all the enemies who had bullied him in the past.
Under this situation, Lu Ming led the government office into Linhe City.
…
Along the way, Lu Ming lived in a RV, and his office and government offices also walked on the main road.
Only after entering Linhe City did they have a place to stay. The richest man in Linhe had already fled, and a four-story office building of his trading company was requisitioned as the headquarters of the government office. Lu Ming and his party moved into a nearby school that was already on holiday.
Lin Shanqing and Chen Dajun, director of the Military Control Commission and commander of the third battalion of the 101st Brigade, came to report to the special commissioner immediately.
Today, this school, called Linhe St. John's College, has almost become a heavily guarded military camp, with even helicopters occasionally hovering in the air.
The Red Feather Guards accompanying Lu Ming consisted of fifty guards, and there was also a guard company affiliated with the Guard Bureau of the Prince's Office.
The commander of the bureau is Biju, and the acting director is Kuroki Saori who grew up with Biju. Lu Ming doesn't quite understand, Kuroki Saori is still young, how come she has become so tall, and with the mask on, she has become a very scary existence. In the security bureau, no one is not afraid of this devil director.
This time, going deep into Anshan Territory is of no small magnitude. There are too many guards with me, and I like to move around, so I may not always move on the main transportation lines, so there will be problems with supplies.
So, it can be said that the security forces are serious about their actions.
The number of people is very small, but the combat effectiveness is extremely strong.
The combat effectiveness of the fifty Red Feathers is needless to say, each of them is a war machine. Under current technical conditions, the bulky bulletproof vests, in order to achieve the best effect, are as heavy as armor, and ordinary soldiers can hardly bear it. However, the Red Feathers each have one.
They are fully armed and equipped with two helicopters, one armed helicopter and one light helicopter, which can take Lu Ming and escape in times of crisis.
The guard company of more than a hundred people also includes many special forces trained by Biju. They are equipped with not only long and short firearms, but also mortars, flamethrowers, wheeled armored vehicles, and even trucks pulling two light artillery pieces.
The guard force consists of less than 200 people, but its combat effectiveness is enough to fight a small war in the Northern Territory.
Lu Ming met with Chen Dajun and Lin Shanqing in the principal's office.
A large number of cadres have been drawn from Heishan Special City, Nanping Province and Wanzhou Province to enter Anshan and take over the local government.
However, since the Grand Guilds in Linhe and Panghe have grown to a relatively large scale, the cadres of the local branches of the Grand Guilds who have just been directly appointed are very short of management talents. Even if they can successfully take over seven provinces, the cadres coming from Montenegro can only fill the institutions of the local governor’s residence. For the time being, they still have to implement the same ruling and management model as before, which is to only control the largest city in one province.
Grassroots control is of course important, but it can only be done slowly, and for the time being it can only be done in a hasty manner.
My original idea was that when I took charge of Anshan a few years later, the Grand Guild would have flourished and its cadres would have undergone long-term training and inspection, so they would be able to take over the government directly from the grassroots level. Unfortunately, time was running out and I had to rush into it.
Now I think that the appointment of Lin Shanqing might have been a mistake.
Lu Ming sighed softly in his heart. Sometimes, a small mistake made by the top leaders could bring nightmares to many people, or even cruel and painful torture, or even the death of a life.
There are many things that you must do yourself, because many of the new things you bring have never appeared in this world before. If you supervise them yourself, you can correct mistakes and improve your plans as quickly as possible.
