0954 Life on the shores of Lake Baikal
U.S. President Grant wiped the sweat from his head in despair. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Grant felt that Secretary of State Hamilton Firth's words were too terrible, "The Chinese are really terrible, their development speed is amazing, how can an ancient feudal country have the strength to fight a strong Tsarist Russia alone in two or three years?" You know, the army of Tsarist Russia is said to be able to fight against the army of the whole of Europe, but in the Sino-Russian War, what I saw was that the Tsarist army was defeated again and again, and now even the whole of Siberia seems to be unable to be saved! I really don't see where they are qualified to dominate Europe? ”
"Yes." Secretary of State Hamilton Firth also sneered, amused and helpless, "These traditional European powers, that is, they have nothing to show for themselves, not to mention Tsarist Russia, that is, Britain and France, last time in Jiangnan in China, weren't they beaten out by the Chinese army?" More than 100,000 British and French armies can't defeat a single country, this is unimaginable, China, even stronger than we imagined! ”
"Well, you go get busy, that's all you have for now, try not to talk stiffly, diplomatically, it's better to leave room for more." U.S. President Grant continued.
Secretary of State Hamilton Firth was speechless, just now you were still impassioned, what should you say to be seriously concerned, to express shock, are you angry with this shock, do you want to follow up with Huaguo, or are you afraid? I think you're more scared!
Hamilton Temper withdrew from the president's office, and he had already made up his mind to continue the policy of appeasement! Huaguo, don't mess with it.
However, Hamil Don Firth also expressed concern that President Grant still wants to vigorously develop Alaska's plan, and that it is still developing far away from the US mainland without the support of the army.
Although U.S. President Grant didn't say it, but in his heart, he did feel that China did not dare to do anything to the United States, because Grant had left the impression of a two-year-old child for Xuan Yuemeng, even though Xuan Yuemeng was now more than six years old, but in Grant's heart, he was still a two-year-old person, such a big country, actually controlled by a child, which made him very incomprehensible, how can it still develop so fast? This is even more incomprehensible.
However, Grant did not believe that China would dare to easily declare war on the United States without any offense against China!
The reason why Grant has this delusion is because China has the best relations with the United States at present.
In the big country of the United Kingdom, a group of parliamentarians are also discussing nervously, the queen of England is the decoration, and the power is in the hands of parliament.
"I think it's better for us to ignore this war in the East, because Hua and Tsarist Russia, no matter who wins or loses, it is a good thing for us."
"No, you have to think from another angle, no matter who wins, the national strength will be strengthened! Because the national strength of these two countries is already very weak, after swallowing up a large area of territory at once, it will greatly stimulate the domestic economy! ”
The British argued for a long time, and in the end it was the same result as the Americans, wait and see, the whole world is watching the war between China and Tsarist Russia, no one intervenes, President Meng finds the first opponent, it's not bad, if it's against other powers, it's easy to call brothers to come, it's not easy to do.
The comparison between national strength is by no means simply one plus one equals two, one plus one is definitely greater than two, and this is the importance of diplomacy.
President Moe is very busy and leisurely during this time, and the main thing who is busy is Princess Katrina Kaf, who only listens to the progress occasionally.
After a tragic battle of Turukhansk, the Chinese army did not lose a single ounce of weapons and equipment, but captured a large number of artillery and baggage of the Tsarist Russian army, as well as a large number of rifles, these rifles, China will not want, even if they are issued to recruits for training, they will not ask for it, the Chinese army will be handed over to the garrison command, and then transferred to the Bureau of Statistics, and then resold by the Department of Statistics of the Customs to the South Seas and South Asia, to the Indians, to the natives of Southeast Asia, so that they can cause trouble for the colonists.
This process has formed a fixed channel, on the one hand, to facilitate the control of Southeast Asia, and on the other hand, to facilitate the collection of wealth and grain.
Now China is basically self-sufficient in grain, and with the continuous accumulation of grain from South Asia, the overall grain reserve has been achieved!
President Meng is most afraid of no food, even more than no money, President Meng is afraid, such a big country, if there is a famine, it is not a matter of a few deaths, that is a lot of death! Millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions.
Irkutsk is located in the south of the Central Siberian Plateau, west of Lake Baikal, and adjacent to Mongolia in the south, with an area of 767,900 square kilometers, a continental climate, and a long period of severe cold.
Here, ethnic Russians make up more than 90 percent, followed by Ukrainians, Belarusians, Tatars, etc. It governs the Ust-Oldensky Buryatia Autonomous Okrug.
The industry is dominated by mining (coal, iron, gold, mica, gypsum, talc, rock salt, etc.).
President Meng is developing industrial enterprises, including: electric power, aluminum smelting, oil refining and petrochemical industry, mining!
There are also machinery, wood processing and pulp, mainly papermaking.
Animal husbandry is dominated by cattle and sheep. Cultivation is concentrated along the Southern Railway, and the crops are mainly wheat.
The Irkutsk region is divided into 28 districts with 21 cities.
Cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants are Irkutsk, Angarsk and Bratsk.
Irkutsk Oblast (now under the jurisdiction of Hudong Province), President Moe followed the advice of Princess Katrina Kafu and divided the whole of Siberia into two parts: Hudong Province and Huxi Province. About 3 million people, 80% of the urban population, more than 80% of Irkutsk Russians, the rest are ethnic Mongolians.
Now it's different.
At present, Hudong and Huxi provinces, as well as Jiangdong Province on the edge of the Heilongjiang River, already have five million Han people, and the number of Han people is more than 60 percent!
The remaining 40 percent are aborigines, working for the Han Chinese and enriching the construction corps, or the elderly, women and children who stay in their hometowns.
The arrival of five million Han Chinese put great financial pressure on China, and at the same time, it quickly allowed the Han people to completely occupy the whole of Siberia and have a solid foundation.
No matter what piece of land, there are people, it is people!
Talent is the spirit of all things!
Han people will be all over the world, this is President Meng's idea, of course, except for Africa, when the time comes, non-Han brothers and sisters all over the world, you will go to Africa to live happily.
The cute president who was lazily lying on a deck chair on the shore of Lake Baikal thought so.
Although President Meng's colonial policy is also moderate, without wanton killing and plundering, the three words colonizer itself contain privileges, and the Han people will bully non-Han people, which is something that cannot be avoided, just like the great powers running to China, no matter how good people are, they will inevitably bully the Chinese.
Because as a colonist, even if you don't do anything, you are already bullying people when you come, and this is a problem of the behavior itself.
Behind President Moe is a village, all of which are quaint Tsarist cabins.
Princess Katrina Kafu likes this kind of house very much, and does not like to live in the president's mansion, so President Meng accompanied Princess Katrina Kafu and moved the president's secretariat here, where the city of Irkutsk is very close, and it is at the intersection of the Mongolian longitudinal railway line and the Northeast Highway through Irkutsk, so it is still relatively convenient.
President Moe's yard is at the end of the village.
Staying here, you can wake up every morning with a view of the beautiful Lake Baikal.
There are also two ponies in President Moe's yard, one is President Moe's and the other is Princess Katrina Kaf's.
Two small gates in the barn open onto the beautiful Lake Baikal.
Between the mossy gray-green chalk boulders, there is a ramp eight sand ropes long, and you go down to the shore of Lake Baikal.
It is full of mother-of-pearl shells, and the pebbles of the river that have been hit by the waves have formed a gray curved bank.
Beyond that, there is the sparkling blue of Lake Baikal wrinkled by the breeze.
To the east, outside the yard fence made of red willow trees. It was a freshly paved asphalt road, clumps of white wormwood, and tenacious brown plantain trampled by horses' hooves; There is a chapel at the fork; Behind the church, there is a meadow shrouded in a fleeting mirage. To the south, there are chalky ridges.
To the west, there is a street that leads through the square to the meadow by the river.
The city of Irkutsk is rapidly expanding, and in its original history, even after a hundred years, it did not have this speed of construction, because the Han people did not come!
The current Northeast Railway Network, the Northeast Highway Network, and the Mongolian Longitudinal Railway Line will all include Siberia in China's homeland, including Mongolia.
This is not a condition that can be possessed in later history, no matter where it is, as long as there are Han people, this speed can fly immediately.
The wisdom of the Han nation is better than anyone else.
There is another reason why there are so many people in Irkutsk now, that is, the soldiers sent from the Beijing Military Region to prepare to replenish the 1st Field Division of the Chinese Army, the 2nd Field Division of the Chinese Army, and the 3rd Field Division of the Chinese Army still need to be screened here again, and it is very difficult to enter these three ace divisions.
The people who are brushed down will be incorporated into the troops of the Mongolian longitudinal railway line, which is very undesirable to everyone, but there is no way, if the ace division is not like this, it will not be called the ace division.
Yakotherina Klimova's younger brother Vladimir Granat was promoted to squad leader because of his meritorious service in the Battle of Turukhansk of the 3rd Field Division of the Chinese Army, and he also followed him to Irkutsk, preparing to follow the commanders to select a large number of suitable soldiers and then supplement them to his division.
