Chapter 326: The Son of Heaven Guards the Country
After two or three kilometers, there is another such border station.
When Liu Yaoting cleared the customs, he was already prepared, and handed out a pack of cigarettes.
Liu Yaoting said with a smile: "They have this habit here, and they can talk better about cigarettes." ”
Xiao Lu shook his head disdainfully.
Even if these soldiers were fully armed, they looked careless, without any military discipline, and hid under the windbreak wall to smoke cigarettes.
Fan Yang obviously noticed that the soldiers here were all white people with high noses, deep eye sockets, yellow hair, and blue eyes.
And the Kazakhs are completely different from this.
Just like the Mongols, they still have yellow skin, black hair, and black eyes.
It's just not as tall as the Mongols, and they're slightly smaller.
Fan Yang asked, "Are these soldiers Erros?"
Liu Yaoting replied: "It's the Erros, the situation here is more complicated, the Kazakhs are a ruled people, most of them are still engaged in grazing and planting, anyway, they are engaged in low-level things, the exiled Chechens, as well as the Caucasians, are on the collective farms here, planting cotton and wheat, after the collapse of the Sulian, there are still 4 million Erros people in Kazakhstan." ”
"4 million?" Fan Yang thought for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Kazakhstan only has a total population of more than 10 million, right?"
Liu Yaoting replied: "It's about the same, there were only more than 13 million people when Sulian disintegrated, and nothing has changed in the past two years. ”
Fan Yang suddenly had a certain understanding of Kazakhstan in his previous life, but the business did not cover this side, and he only knew some basic things.
Now you understand.
said: "No wonder Nazabayev is going to move the capital. ”
One important thing is the location of the capital of Kazakhstan, which is quite special.
Generally, the capital is a political center, an economic center, built in a solid place, to prevent invasion.
But the capital of Kazakhstan is on the border.
It's on the edge of the new reins.
The capital, Almaty, is only more than 200 kilometers away from the Khorgos port.
It's there in a few hours.
This is a very serious test of national security, and it will be occupied in less than a day.
This is a legacy of history.
In the eighteenth century, while the Western powers were busy occupying the coastline, Tsarist Russia expanded wildly on land, invading five Central Asian countries, crossing the Transcaucasus, sending troops to Turkey, and expanding its territory to the Middle East for a time.
But when it comes to the territory of the Qing Dynasty, it will have to be weighed.
At that time, Kazakhstan was still a nomadic tribe, there was no major construction at all, and the front was too long.
At that time, the Russian garrison built a Welny fortress in Almaty to garrison troops, which later developed into the capital of Kazakhstan, called Almaty.
After being included in the territory of Su Lian, it once again became a strategically guarding frontier existence.
So it was built on the edge of China.
So the Khorgos port will be so profitable.
The most barren mountain next door in China is the largest city in Kazakhstan, the center of consumption.
In fact, the jurisdiction of Almaty is only 90 kilometers from Khorgos.
It's very convenient to trade.
Anything can be sold out if you pull it over.
After the independence of Kazakhstan, in 94 it was decided to move the capital to central Astana, which is 1,300 kilometers away, but the current economic and political status of Almaty remained unchanged.
Until 2018, Almaty also far surpassed Astana and was the largest city in Kazakhstan.
"What moved the capital?" Liu Yaoting next to him was still confused.
"Nothing. ”
It will not be announced until the end of 94, and the relocation of the capital will be completed in 97, and Fan Yang can be regarded as a prophet.
Is it possible to do something?
Fan Yang thought about it.
Now Pepsi is riddled with everything, if it is after the exhibition.
The previous claims were that the borders were narrow and underdeveloped.
But only in this era can we understand what the real cause is.
With a total population of just over 10 million, Eros accounts for as many as 4 million, so it's no wonder that they aren't afraid of making trouble.
And Nazabayev is also revered as a national hero, leading the rise of the Kazakhs and fighting against the economic oligarchs of Erros in the future, which is also well-known and iron-fisted president.
The real intention of moving the capital is that the Son of Heaven is guarding the country.
Lu Zhengshan said beside him: "The inspection here is too strict, is there really anyone to make trouble?"
The convoy had been driving for only ten minutes, and it had been patrolled along the way, not to mention that there was another border post ahead.
The 12-kilometer journey is so tightly guarded, and it is really important to pay attention to it.
"This is the last one. ”
When we got closer, we found that the border station was much taller than the previous two, and a strong fortification was stretched across the road, and the machines and artillery on it could be clearly seen.
Towers were built on both sides, barbed wire fences were pulled around them, and several armored vehicles were parked under the fortifications, and in an open space on the far right, there were two tanks.
……
Fan Yang is not familiar with munitions, he is a complete weapon idiot, and he doesn't know what model, and the barricades in front of him have also been replaced with concrete stone piers, and the front and rear are paved with barbed barricades with tires.
When the three cars stopped and waited for inspection, Fan Yang was surprised to find that the fortification was covered with small potholes, which looked like bullets.
There are also a lot of traces of smoke.
and Lu Zhengshan glanced at each other, and then looked at Xiao Lu.
Xiao Lu was also surprised.
"Did you go through the fire?"
Liu Yaoting is still like no one else, and seems to be accustomed to it: "Well, last year, a group of rebels attacked here in a premeditated way, but they were repulsed. ”
Fan Yang was messy.
Eric tilted his head and said, "God, was shot here?"
"It seems to be. ”
Eric slapped the steering wheel, and there was hatred in his eyes: "These bunch of crumbs." ”
After crossing the border post, there is the Dostyk railway station.
According to the situation of Alashankou, under such harsh conditions, it should be extremely deserted.
But at a glance, it's almost all people.
The narrow platform was topped with simple tents and quilts on the ground, and under the platform there were more people hugging each other, the elderly, children, and a whole refugee camp.
And the attire on their bodies can also be distinguished, and most of these are Kazakhs.
"These people have become refugees?"
Liu Yaoting said: "These wandering rebels are looting supplies everywhere, these are the herdsmen in the vicinity, the sheep have been robbed, and they dare not return to the pasture, and the Kazakh side has been evacuating." ”
Xiao Lu's face turned grim: "Evacuate, let them go back to the grassland to die?"
Seeing this scene, Fan Yang could only shake his head.
After all, the question of the minister broke out.
But Kazakhstan is okay, these people are thinking about their homeland and will soon gather back to Transcaucasia, after which it will be time for Eros to have a headache.
Liu Yaoting said: "No way, these are not bad, there are more in Almaty, last year there was a snow disaster, and the winter wheat grains planted were not harvested, and the Khorgos port is really troublesome." ”
