Chapter 253: Alaska in China
Alaska is located at the northwest tip of the North American continent, bordering the British colony of Canada to the east and surrounded by the Arctic Ocean, the Bering Sea and the North Pacific Ocean on three sides.
It covers an area of 1,717,854 square kilometers, accounting for one-fifth of the country's area. The southeast and south-central regions have a temperate climate, with an annual temperature of about 0°C~15°C; The inland climate is continental, reaching 26°C during the polar day in summer and -15°C in the polar night in winter. The west and southwest are affected by the ocean, and the cold and windy are strong; The Arctic Circle has a polar climate, and the temperature is below zero throughout the year.
Oros was sold to the United States in April 1867 for $7.2 million, and the land contract came into effect on October 18, 1867.
Twenty-seven years later, in 1889, the people of the United States paid a billion dollars to the Chinese Guild, but only 550 million US dollars, because the delivery of Alaska was worth 450 million US dollars.
When the people of the United States gave up Alaska, many people were secretly happy for a while: this is a barren land, not so suitable for human life, and the price has increased by sixty-four times and sold it, and the profit is not low! The yellow-skinned monkeys are really pigs' heads, right?
And the Chinese people, seeing that they asked for 450 million rice yuan from the United States to bring Alaska over, maybe many people will scold Hu Zhen for being dizzy, and he actually bought Alaska at a price of 64 times.
But how can territory be measured in terms of monetary prices?
In addition, Alaska is rich in minerals, oil, forests, and fisheries, and as of 1889, the value of known gold minerals reached 150 million US dollars.
More importantly, Hu Zhen has taken a fancy to Alaska's strategic value.
Alaska's location in the North Pacific Ocean overlooks the North Pacific Ocean and the North American continent, which makes the Chinese Guild in the South Seas, Guam, Hawaii, Panama Canal base, and the Chinese mainland, forming an encirclement of the Pacific Ocean, which has the potential to turn the vast Pacific Ocean into an inland sea of China.
This strategic posture is always suppressing and choking the throat of the United States. It controls the development of Oros to the Pacific Ocean, and in the Wa State in it, Great China can fight whenever it wants.
In a word, China took control of Alaska. It's to control the entire Pacific Ocean.
It is very advantageous that there are only 150,000 people living in the vast land of Alaska today, of which more than half are native Indians and Eskimos, and 1.7 million square kilometers of open land. For the Chinese nation, which has a population of more than 400 million, this means a great gift!
For getting such a huge super gift, Hu Zhen, who has been accustomed to all kinds of big scenes, felt a burst of excitement for no reason.
Hu Zhen immediately telegraphed and ordered Su Wenzhen, chief of the general staff who was stationed in Pontianak, Nanyang, to send 100,000 troops to Alaska and receive them.
Then the telegram demanded that the elders of the Huaxia Guild immediately make concrete arrangements to organize the recruitment of laborers at a high price to Alaska to build roads, excavate minerals, and cultivate crops, and gradually establish villages and towns inhabited by the Chinese, so that Alaska must always be in the hands of the Chinese.
The old men of the Huaxia Guild also know very well what the territory of Alaska means to the Chinese nation. After urgent discussion, they proposed a plan to Hu Zhen:
All Chinese people who come to Alaska to work, mine, reclaim, do business, etc., regardless of size, will not be taxed for ten years, and the Chinese Guild will also provide subsidies and subsidies, but other ethnic groups must be taxed to do the above work in the local area, so as to encourage Chinese people to quickly establish themselves in the local area.
"Hmph, these old men, they just want me to pay, and they can get a share of it themselves!" After Hu Zhen received the telegram. laughed, however, all this fat and water flowed into the bags of the Huaxia people, and Hu Zhen didn't have any opinions. The plan was approved, and it was called for an urgent organization to take action.
Immediately after the news broke, more than 200,000 young Chinese people in Nanyang were willing to travel from the jungle to the snow-capped Alaska to expand the territory of the Chinese nation.
And the news spread to China under the control of the Qing Dynasty, and I heard that as long as the cultivated land reclaimed in Alaska was cultivated, no matter how much. They all belong to their own families forever, and in half a year, they recruited more than 300,000 poor Chinese and dragged their families to Alaska to settle down and reclaim.
Since then, the Huaxia Guild has shipped more than one million Chinese to settle in Alaska at a jaw-dropping speed in Europe and the United States, and in just one year, it has firmly controlled Alaska.
While arranging to receive Alaska land, Hu Zhen ordered Fan Qianhai to accept the $500 million sent by the Mi government and start paying war reparations to Mi companies.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Huaxia army plundered more than $2 billion in the assets of the Mi enterprises, but asked for 500 million U.S. dollars from the Mi government to compensate the Mi enterprises, which was just a pretended favor.
But Hu Zhen has his deep-seated plan: the reason why the country of rice in the future is developed is because it has countless powerful enterprises, enterprising, active thinking, positive innovation, and full of vitality.
And now the Huaxia Army has used violence to hit the Mi enterprises hard, but they deliberately want a little compensation from the hands of the Mi country, in fact, they want to use the 500 million rice dollars to influence and guide the Mi enterprises.
For example, when paying compensation, Hu Zhen asked Fan Qianhai to pay more to the mineral enterprises in the United States, but those industrial machinery companies, such as Ford Motor Company, Edison Laboratories, General Motors and other enterprises, must be resolutely suppressed, if it cannot be suppressed, let the Ou Lang Group, Frodo Group buy over, if there are development prospects, then leave a bunch of hidden dangers within it, and then sell it, if it is a relatively small asset, then slowly play to death, in short, it is to secretly attack the United States enterprises, Hit the economy of the United States and make the United States lose the economic foundation for its rise.
This is a huge long-term plan formulated by the nuclear submarine supercomputer, which lasted for more than 50 years, and Hu Zhen named it "Tumei Project"
Outsiders had no way of knowing Hu Zhen's vicious "plan to slaughter the United States", and even the people in the Huaxia army did not know the deep meaning of Hu Zhen's actions, but under the leadership of Hu Zhen, they won every battle, and although most people did not understand it, they resolutely implemented it.
This has caused a lot of trouble to the enterprises of the United States, and the people of the United States have unknowingly lost the economic foundation of the rise, and slowly become a country that only knows how to sell natural mineral resources, and the future of the United States has turned a development direction, and the opportunity for growth has been lost forever.
