Hope City in July is cool and dry. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBy the river, freshly planted wheat is pumping its buds under the watering of the river. This is thanks to Charlie, if it weren't for a few bags of wheat on it, the citizens of the Ming Kingdom would still have to live a hunting life.

Just two weeks ago, the climate experts, geologists, historians and other professionals of the Ming Kingdom gathered together to study the route of the Dutch, the climate of this place, various fault hydrology and other factors, and finally proved that the place where they were located was the port of Darwin in the future. And Charlie and the big island they found in freshwater before was Melville Island opposite Darwin.

But since they came one step before Darwin, of course this place can no longer be called Darwin. And because this is the first place where they came to this world to survive, it has a very special meaning. So the name was changed to Hope, which is now the capital of the Ming Republic.

Once you know where you are, the rest is much easier.

First of all, they relied on the memories of later generations to find the most important coal mines and iron mines. Because this is the basis on which industry is built, with which steel can be smelted and some of the most basic industries can be built.

Of course, the Ming Kingdom is very short of industrial equipment, but the wisdom of the people is infinite. In the early days of the founding of New China, there was an upsurge of large-scale iron and steel smelting in the whole country. Although the method is very earthy, the technology is not good, and the steel that is trained is often wasted.

But that method works! And among them, there are high-ranking officials from steel companies. And others are not the second generation of officials, but they have risen step by step by virtue of their own qualifications. After his guidance and improvement, the steel produced now is not bad at all.

With this foundation, all kinds of simple industrial equipment can be built on their own. Self-made, although slower, but with a head. So now the entire Hope City is a scene of construction in full swing.

It's just that the development of the Great Ming Kingdom soon hit a bottleneck. Person! There are so few people! Many industrial projects that could be carried out had to be put on hold for the time being.

As a result, the senior officials of the presidential palace engaged in a heated discussion about the population, and finally unanimously came to the conclusion that they would attack the indigenous people in the vicinity. Although their skills are not good, they can do some manual work of moving bricks and cement.

is like the more than 50 indigenous men who bought it, and basically contracted half of the manual work in Hope City. As for the remaining half, it was shared by the new Dutch. After all, the natives of the Ming Kingdom are all technical talents, so how can they spend their energy on moving bricks.

And those Dutch people drift on the sea all year round, and some of them have physical strength. In addition, they don't need their sea experience now, so of course they have to make good use of their strength. That's the best use of everything!

But senior officials disagree on how to acquire indigenous populations. They were roughly divided into two factions, one was Huairou and the other was force.

"President, just say something! See who to listen to! Liu Weiguo sat down and said to Yang Chong with a bitter face. As the general of the republic, he rightfully became a representative of the hawks. According to his words, the machine gun in his hand has long been hungry, thirsty, and unbearable!

"Yes! It's time for you to speak, President! Otherwise, if the discussion continues like this, ten days and half a month will not be the head. Bai Hua, the former captain of the A380 and now the Minister of the Air Force, also said.

At this time, Yang Chong was very embarrassed, because the Huairou faction and the armed faction were evenly matched, and there were four high-ranking officials on both sides. The armed faction was led by Liu Weiguo, including cabinet minister Nan Feng, Minister of the Navy Zhang Xiao, and Minister of Education Zuo Peng. And for good reason, too.

1: The indigenous people are not civilized, they are afraid of power and morality, and talking to them about benevolence, righteousness and morality is completely like a chicken and a duck.

Two: The Ming Republic is in its infancy, and compared with the indigenous people with a huge population, it does not have any advantages at all. And the integration of ethnic groups in successive generations is the assimilation of ethnic groups with large populations and ethnic groups with small populations. With the state of the Ming Republic, it is only possible to be assimilated by the natives.

Third, force is the most effective and rapid means of integration. If the Ming Republic wants to develop in the fastest way, it must resort to force against the natives. Because the natives only know knives and blood!

After that, there are four, five, six and other reasons, so I won't go into details.

And the lineup of the soft faction is not weak, led by Minister of the Air Force Bai Hua, including Minister of Science and Technology Yuan Shishen, Minister of Justice Li Fu, and Minister of Industry Mu Chun. Their reasoning is also straightforward.

One: We all come from the 21st century and are accustomed to the dividends of peace. The sudden use of force against the natives would probably cause general resentment among the population. Moreover, resorting to force is likely to result in injuries or deaths, which will deepen public dissatisfaction with the leadership, create a split from public opinion, and pose a threat to national security and stability.

Two: resorting to force will deepen the hostility of the indigenous people to the Ming Republic, and it is easy to sow the seeds of hatred. If the natives retaliate against the Ming Republic because of this, the lives of the people will be threatened.

Three: The extermination of the indigenous people is not a one-day process, which will consume a lot of manpower and material resources of the republic. With the current republic's family background, it is simply not able to support it. Most of the reasons behind are similar, so I won't go into them all.

Frowning, Yang Chong looked at Liu Weiguo and then at Bai Hua, and couldn't make a decision for a while. Finally, he thought of a way to make peace with the mud, and said tentatively: "Or, force and Huairou at the same time?" ”。

As soon as his words came out, Liu Weiguo and Bai Hua refused in unison: "No! ”。 Looking at their attitudes, Yang Chong must also have to choose one of the two.

"This ---", Yang Chong grabbed his hair, and fell into hesitation and hesitation again.

But at this moment, Nan Feng, a cabinet minister sitting next to Liu Weiguo, suddenly spoke: "I think the president's method is feasible!" ”。

When everyone saw that it was Nanfeng who spoke, they didn't rush to object. After all, the fact that Nanfeng's IQ is off the charts is obvious, and they also admire smart people. In addition, Nanfeng usually never talks big and empty words, and always puts forward some useful suggestions on key issues. So they also wanted to know why Nanfeng said this.

I listened to Nanfeng's blazing eyes and explained: "The indigenous people on the Australian continent are not a whole, but scattered tribes. Until now, they have not built a unified state, so there is no national consciousness at all. And there were often wars between these indigenous tribes, as in the case of the Mongols in the past, once the tribe was defeated, it was the result of extinction.

And in the eyes of the natives, our Ming Republic is similar to a tribe. So we can completely pull a batch and hit a batch. Resorting to force against disobedient tribes, and inflicting tenderness on obedient tribes. For example, the tribe we came into contact with last time is a case to which we can be soft.

And in the subsequent tribal annexation, we can also make this tribe available to the republic. Give it some benefits and let it grab the population and the land for us! In this way, our People's Army does not have to waste too much energy on the natives. Even if the natives harbor hatred, it will only be transferred to the tribe that destroyed them, not to our Ming Republic. ”。

His words caused everyone to ponder. As a result, the conference room, which had been tense before, suddenly fell silent. After a while, Education Minister Zuo Peng broke his silence.

"I agree with the Cabinet Minister's approach, so that we can save both worry and effort. The hatred of the indigenous people is diverted, and the people do not feel uncomfortable because of the use of force. National security has also been guaranteed. Why don't we accept such an obvious approach? ”。

"Seconded!" ，

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!" , his rhetorical question was seconded by a group. Soon, everyone discussed and adopted the method of Nanfeng to promote both tenderness and force against the natives, and discussed and supplemented the details.

Seeing everyone working together, Yang Chong was pleased. At the same time, I am also very grateful to Nan Feng, it is with this resourceful cabinet minister that he can be the president with great ease.
