Chapter 333 Preparations for Intervention in the Middle East

The herders of Ramhai are happy because they are the first residents of the town.

Pastoral town is a new rural construction of the political axe in the pastoral area.

Pastoral towns are to let the herdsmen who live a nomadic life settle down.

Ramhai Town is the first pastoral town and is a model.

There are two biggest changes in the life of the herders in the past.

The first big change was that the residents of the pastoral town no longer lived in felt tents, but lived in brick houses like the Han Chinese, that is, the transition from nomadic to sedentary.

The second big change is the change in grazing patterns, which used to be free-range, now in captivity.

Some herdsmen like these changes very much, such as living in big houses, there are more people, and there are hospitals and schools in the pastoral town, and in many ways, life is much better than before.

The most unaccustomed change is that they can no longer graze as before, the cattle and sheep have to be locked up, and they need to cut the grass home to feed the cattle and sheep.

The change is very unaccustomed, but it is necessary, so many people live together, if they are stocked, the surrounding pastures will definitely not be enough.

The change is not accustomed, but it is worth it, if nothing else, they now do not have to worry about the most terrible white and black disasters on the grassland.

The white and black plagues are the nightmare of all herders.

The white plague is also called the white hair wind, it is a major disaster in the pastoral area, in the winter and spring season, when the white hair wind appears in the pastoral area, the wind is howling, the snowflakes are flying, there is a white expanse everywhere, the visibility is extremely low, and the nomadic herdsmen and sheep will be disoriented.

At the same time, due to the cold weather and the lack of food and grass, herders and livestock may be frostbitten and freeze to death.

The second catastrophe is the Black Plague.

There is little or no snow in the grassland in winter, so that the livestock lack water, the epidemic of epidemics, the decline of fat, the abortion of female animals, and even the death of a large number of livestock, this is the black plague.

After the cattle and sheep are raised in captivity, there is no need to go out to graze, and the white disaster is not afraid; There are organic wells in the town, as well as veterinarians, so the black disaster is naturally not afraid.

In addition to these, the political axe also has a lot of promises, for example, if a large number of cattle and sheep die due to the disaster, the political axe will bear at least two-thirds of the loss; For example, if there is a loss caused by a shortage of pasture, the political axe is responsible for solving it and fully bearing the corresponding losses of the herdsmen; For example, herders are subsidized by selling a cow or sheep to a certain amount of subsidy.

The herdsmen trust the political axe, not to mention anything else, the political axe said that they will not have to pay taxes for 20 years and will do what they say, which has been several years, and they really don't charge a penny.

No matter who this imperial grain is handed over, it is natural to pay the imperial grain, and the political axe even does what it says, so what else can it say.

However, despite the herdsmen's trust in the political axe, and despite all the benefits, the power of habit is extremely great, so after more than a year, the construction of the herding town is now only Ramhai Town.

However, since the change has begun, no matter how slow, as long as it is really good, it will naturally develop.

The fame of Lamhai Town is growing, and more and more herdsmen are going to Lamhai Town to see what is going on, even herdsmen from Outer Mongolia.

The Mongolian people are bold and hospitable, but that must be on the premise of a good start, so unconsciously, the herdsmen of Ramhai Town have a more livelihood.

The herders who came to visit were angry, but they were also envious of life in Ram Hai Town.

Now, more and more herdsmen from Outer Mongolia come to visit, and changes are quietly happening.

-- In the golden autumn, at the end of September, Han Lihong arrived in Gansu.

Deng Gong was a little surprised by Han Lihong's arrival.

Deng Gong felt incredible about Han Lihong and his people, except for many things, Deng Gong didn't understand why Han Lihong trusted him so much.

Qinghai, Gansu, Ningxia, Xinjiang Province, what a big piece of land, Han Lihong handed it over to him like this, and he never ignored it.

Now, 60 percent of the officials in these four places are [***] cadres, and the remaining 40 percent, and 30 percent are locals promoted after his arrival.

Not only that, Han Lihong also gave a lot of funding to the four places.

All the taxes in the four places are left for their own use, plus a large amount of subsidies given by Han Lihong, so what else is not good to do.

Therefore, the current Qinghai, Gansu, Ningxia, and Xinjiang provinces are like a paradise, and the people are living and working in peace and contentment, and there is a peaceful scene everywhere.

He talked with Deng Gong for one night, and the next day, Han Lihong and Deng Gong went down to inspect together.

During this inspection, we mainly looked at areas inhabited by Hui people.

Historically, Qinghai, Gansu and Ningxia became Hui settlements to counterbalance the Tibetans, but now, there is no need for this.

Today, the situation in China has been completely changed.

In Assam and Nagaland, 100,000 people have now migrated and are still migrating there.

As a result, any attempt to make a difference in Tibetan province becomes unfeasible.

Not to mention anything else, if someone is making trouble in Tibetan Province, as long as the central government axe cuts off the supply of materials, it will be the gods who will make trouble, and they will definitely be abandoned by the vast number of Tibetans.

No one in Tibetan Province has made trouble, and there is no one here, and China has never had a conflict for purely religious reasons, so naturally there is political harmony, and all ethnic groups live in harmony without any problems.

The political axe is very friendly to religious people, especially to the imams of the Muslims.

The political axe not only gives the imam political status, making the imam a local moral judge, with high prestige, but also gives financial care, and each imam is enough to make the family worry about food and clothing just because of the various subsidies given by the political axe.

Not only that, but the political axe also gives the imam an extremely important power.

Hajj is one of the basic systems that must be observed by the followers of Islam, and every adult Muslim with financial and physical strength has the religious obligation to worship Mecca, and all Muslims, whether male or female, will do their best to make the Hajj to Mecca at least once in their lives.

It is understandably difficult for Chinese Muslims to make the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, firstly because of the long distance, but more importantly, the poverty.

The Hajj to Mecca is not something that can be done casually, there are clear rules, and the fifth of them is related to money.

Muslims who do not owe foreign debts, have settled all economic disputes, and have left enough for their families to live on are eligible to go to Mecca for the Hajj.

How many Muslims in China are able to do this?

In the past, people couldn't do it, so they didn't think about it, but now, when life is better, going to Mecca for the Hajj has become a big deal again.

After the establishment of the New Deal, subsidies were given to Muslims who went to Mecca for the Hajj.

Of course, there must be a limit to the number of this.

The most important power given to the imam was to go to Mecca for Hajj, and it was up to the imam to decide who could receive the subsidy.

So far, a significant number of Muslims have made the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, which has had two major impacts.

Good and bad are compared, and this comparison is horizontal and vertical.

Today's self is compared with yesterday's self, which is vertical; Comparing yourself with others, this is horizontal.

Going to Mecca for the Hajj is a great thing to see and know that you are better off than many Muslims in other places, and not at all, and that is a good feeling.

It's an internal effect.

The number of Muslims who go to Mecca for Hajj in one place is naturally very different, and nowadays, more and more Muslims from China are going to Mecca for Hajj, which naturally attracts the attention of the Saudi side.

In particular, because the influence of Chinese Muslims is gradually expanding, many Muslims from the Middle East have come to visit, which makes the influence of Chinese Muslims even greater, which has attracted more and more attention from the Saudi side.

Now, some of the most prestigious imams are already able to speak at the top of the Saudi hierarchy.

Along the way, whenever Deng Gong and Han Lihong went, they would feast on the local imams.

-- On 3 November, Deng Gong and Han Lihong arrived in Wuwei and stayed at the home of Li Zhiqiang, the local imam.

Li Zhiqiang is forty-four in his eighties this year, and the old man is very old, but he is in excellent health, his ears are not deaf, his eyes are not dazzled, and he is extremely energetic.

Hearing that Deng Gong and Han Lihong were coming to see him at home, the old man's few remaining goatees couldn't go soft when they pouted.

Li Zhiqiang recognized two people, one was Deng Gong and the other was Han Lihong.

Li Zhiqiang met Han Lihong once, and two years ago, Li Zhiqiang went to Yanjing with the delegation of the Grand Imam, and Han Lihong hosted a banquet to entertain the delegation.

Historically, the Hui people have never received such a high status, and the feelings of great imams like Li Zhiqiang for Han Lihong are indescribable.

Their status in the Muslim world has always been low, but now, their status is higher and higher day by day, and the root cause of these changes is naturally because of the strength of the state and the importance that the state attaches to them.

Han Lihong and Deng Gong have a tacit understanding, that is, to dilute ideology, that is, to dilute the partisan color, and to cover everything with a political axe, and in the hearts of the people, the political axe is often represented by a certain person.

For the people of Ningxia, Gansu, Qinghai, and Xinjiang provinces, especially the great imams like Li Zhiqiang, Deng Gong and Han Lihong are gods, and they are gods in their hearts.

What a glory it is for "God" to come to his house to see him and to stay in his house!

Of course, there must be a reason why "God" gives face like this.

――――The next day, bidding farewell to the old man, Deng Gong and Han Lihong went on the road again.

On the way, the Chief of the Telecommunications Section sent a telegram.

The content of the telegram was that the United States and 22 other countries had just signed the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) in Neiva.

After Han Lihong read it, he handed it to Deng Gong.

After reading it, Deng Gong said: "This may have a great impact on us." ”

The Soviet bloc excluded them, and the U.S. bloc also excluded them, and although there were two lines, Britain and France, their competitiveness would be greatly damaged after the signing of this GATT.

Han Lihong said: "It's okay, it doesn't matter much." ”

Deng Gong was puzzled and asked, "Why?" ”

Han Lihong said: "Just let the north and the south do world trade, and we will calm down and consolidate the foundation of the country." ”

After thinking for a moment, Deng Gong nodded, this is a big pattern.

-- November 29, 1947.

In the voting hall of the United Nations, the representatives of Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Egypt and other countries to the United Nations were full of grief and indignation, while the representatives of other countries were very indifferent.

Just now, United Nations Resolution 181 was adopted by a vote of 32 in favour, 10 against and 10 abstentions.

Today, for the first time, Muslim countries like Saudi Arabia are collectively aware of what a hypocritical and bandit-like nation the United States is.

The United Nations was founded by the United States, and the Charter of the United Nations was formulated by the Americans, but today, here, the United States has naked trampled on the Charter of the United Nations, which they formulated themselves.

The right of peoples to self-determination is one of the most important principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations.

The right of a people in a region that has been under imperialist colonial rule to enjoy national self-determination is clearly stipulated in the Charter of the United Nations.

The right of national self-determination refers to the right of the colonial people ruled by imperialism to obtain national reading, and also refers to the right of a nation not to interfere with foreign domination, to decide and handle its own affairs. All peoples have the right to self-determination, according to which all peoples are free to determine their social, political and economic systems, free from external oppression and interference. In modern international law, the right of peoples to self-determination is a legal right guaranteed by international law.

The Charter of the United Nations stipulates that the division or reunification of a country shall be voted on by the local population, and the United Nations respects the will and choice of the local population.

On the question of Palestine, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, the principle of "national self-determination" should have been adopted and the local residents of Palestine should have voted to make their own choices, but in dealing with the Palestinian issue, the United Nations has completely ignored the will of the majority of the Arab inhabitants there, and strangely allowed the United Nations General Assembly to overstep its authority and make a choice for the Palestinians, and the Arab inhabitants of Palestine have been deprived of the right to "national self-determination" and have no right to decide their own destiny.

The United States did this, of course, in favor of Israel, because in the Palestinian areas, Arabs make up more than two-thirds of the population.

Not only that, but America's partiality towards Jews is simply unbridled.

Before resolution 181, Arabs made up more than two thirds of the total Palestinian population and owned 94 per cent of the land, but after the resolution, only 43 per cent of the land was granted.

The Jews, on the other hand, before the resolution, they owned only six percent of the land, but after the resolution, they owned fifty-seven percent of the land.

Moreover, the 57 percent of the land owned by the Jews was coastal and fertile with abundant fresh water, while the Arabs owned it in fragmented and disconnected areas, mostly hilly and barren.

Arabs have lived on Palestinian soil for thousands of years, while Jews have emigrated in recent decades, and this practice by the United States is a naked and unbridled contempt for Muslims.

-- Han Lihong will hold a news conference.

As soon as this notice came out, it immediately swept through the press circles in Beijing like a hurricane and aroused great concern from all walks of life.

Han Lihong held a press conference, there must have been something extremely important, but there was no warning beforehand.

For Han Lihong, many people from all walks of life in the capital have more and more complicated feelings.

Now, the signs are already obvious, Han Lihong will be an obstacle to their happy life, Han Lihong is like a big mountain, overwhelming, hanging on the top of their brains.

Yes, the Yanjing City they like was established by Han Lihong, but people like Han Lihong should retire at this time.

It's a pity that Han Lihong didn't have this consciousness at all.

Originally, it didn't matter if they didn't have enlightenment, they always had a way to deal with it, but the problem was that Han Lihong was different from anyone in power, Han Lihong was a freak, a peerless freak they had never seen or heard of.

Han Lihong did not hold public office, but his power was greater than that of the emperor, in the political axe, Han Lihong's orders were like an arm, in the eyes of the people, in the eyes of the people, Han Lihong was a god and a saint.

This is terrifying enough, but this is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is that Han Lihong still has endless wealth in his hands.

All this, for them, Han Lihong has become a hedgehog, and he is also a super big hedgehog, a super big hedgehog that they have no way to do.

-- Jarlini was so angry that he smashed everything in the house.

When it was done, Giarini turned into a puddle of mud and sat on the ground, crying for himself, for the whole nation, for Islam.

Jarini is Saudi Arabia's ambassador to China, and he is a Saudi native of Palestinian origin.

Jarini was both a fervent religious and a staunch nationalist, and the UN resolution 181 just passed hit him too hard.

At this moment, the door was quietly pushed open a crack, and then, slowly, it widened again.

After a while, the cultural counselor of the embassy, Kadur, crept in.

Kadur is Jarini's own nephew and is a shrewd man.

When he got closer, Kadur squatted down and said softly, "Uncle, Han Lihong is going to hold a press conference at three o'clock in the afternoon, and there has been a word over there, I hope you will also attend." ”

Jarini admires Han Lihong very much, not only because Han Lihong treats the Hui people well, but also because he hopes that his own nation can also have a hero like Han Lihong.

But at this moment, Giarini didn't want to do anything.

Seeing that Jarini did not react and hesitated for a moment, Kadur said again: "Uncle, Han Lihong's press conference may be related to the resolution of the United Nations. ”

As soon as Kadur said this, Jarini turned his head and looked at Kadur.

Kadur continued: "Uncle, it is very likely. After a pause, he added: "Han Lihong is extremely friendly to us, and his relationship with the United States is very bad, so he is likely to support us." ”

The slightest spark of gas just now went out again, and Jarini said, "What's the use of him supporting us?" ”

Kadur said: "Uncle, Han Lihong has always been a bolt if he doesn't make a move, and if he really holds a press conference for this matter, he will definitely not be dull." ”

Really, Jarini's darkened eyes lit up again.
