After the two methods of "merging families and villages" and "relocating" were used, although the British and Soviets still supported the local resistance groups, the frequency of attacks decreased significantly.

On the one hand, because the guerrillas had lost the support of the local population, on the other hand, the resistance felt that it was not a good thing to involve the whole village.

In addition, Iraq has never been ** in the last few hundred years, and there are not many ** elements in Iraq itself, and it is the Turks who are really keen to attack. In the absence of the support of the local population, the frequency of attacks and other incidents naturally decreased.

It is true that hatred can only produce hatred, but during the period when the Communist government ruled Iraq, nothing too tyrannical was created. Even in the process of purging the resistance, there were very few injuries to the local civilian population (because there was no large-scale accidental injury technology), and life under the rule of the national government was obviously much better than during the Turkish period, and at this time, the new punishment measures were naturally far fewer Iraqis willing to continue to resist.

(Historically, the region was occupied by the Arabs in 656, and for a long time it was part of Persia, but almost all of the capitals were built in the Persian Empire, Alexander's Babylon, Seleucid's Seleucia, the Sabbath Empire, and the Sassanid Ctesiphon.) In 762, the caliph moved to Baghdad, on the northern outskirts of the Sabbath empire and the capital of the Sassanid Empire, Ctesiphon. After that, Baghdad remained the center of the Arab world until it was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire in 1534.

In 1915, the British occupied Iraq and ruled it under the name of the League of Nations until 1932, when Iraq became a royal state ruled by the Hashemite dynasty. ）

Of course. The adoption of such extreme measures as "relocation" has also aroused some criticism.

And in the beginning. It is true that many aborigines have questioned it. There were even rumors that the natives were not relocated to Sakhalin, but were executed en masse.

Such rumors are not only in Iraq and other places, but also in Britain and the United States.

But it's like it used to be. Thanks to the advancement of technology, when the video of the displaced aborigines fishing in Sakhalin was shown in the villages after the "merger of families". This rumor has been dispelled.

Up to now, the ** movement on the Indochina Peninsula is still in full swing, but the resistance movement in Iraq and other places has almost disappeared. After all, there is no support from the Iraqi locals. The Turks alone could not do anything.

And even if there are Iraqis who are loyal to Turkey. That's also allegiance to the Ottoman Turkey of the past, allegiance to the Turkish Sultan, not to the current Turkish Republic ...

When the resistance elements in Iraq and elsewhere were reluctant to resist the rule of the Commune government, the British and Russians had a clear headache, because they could no longer find anyone but a small number of Turks.

Of course, the situation in the Soviet Union was much better. Because the vast majority of those who launched attacks in the southern Volga region were sent by the Soviet Union. But the British. But only through the Turks and Saudis ...

As for Turkey?

When the British and Russians were still active, the Turks could naturally take the opportunity to encourage the Turks in various places, but now Turkey's national strength is too weak after all, and when the British and Russians began to die down, Kemal naturally stopped...

Although the guerrillas could not affect the overall situation, the reduction of the guerrillas still made Yan Guang and the others happy. As for those Iraqis and Turks who were relocated to Sakhalin? Let them work there for ten years, and then let them go back after ten years, if anyone is willing to return to their hometown. ..., as for smuggling back?

It would take at least seven or eight thousand kilometers to reach Iraq by land, even by Vladivostok, and more than 10,000 kilometers by water.

If someone can really complete this journey in a poor and white situation, then Yan Guang can only give him a thumbs up and admire him, and by the way, let him spend his old age in his hometown...

――――――――――

"Boom, boom..."

While the resistance movement in Iraq and other places has come to an end, the factories in many parts of the country are roaring with machines...

"Hurry up, hurry up and !!"

In a private automobile company, a tall middle-aged man said loudly to the workers in front of him with a red face, and from time to time he would walk up to the workers who were working to cheer him up, not afraid that the expensive suit on his body would be stained.

"What's wrong, boss?"

Looking at the middle-aged man who seemed to have changed into a different person, a worker who was working whispered to his companion beside him. He was not afraid that his words would be heard by the boss, because now the factory was covered by the roar of machines, and as long as he didn't sing tenor here, the chances of the boss hearing him were almost zero.

The companion looked up at the middle-aged man, and after making sure that the middle-aged man had not noticed them and could never hear their conversation, he said in a tone that a worker could hear.

"The boss is like this, of course, because he is about to make a lot of money..."

"I'll just say..."

The worker nodded, in a tone I had anticipated.

When he said this, he also tightened the tractor on the assembly line with the tools in his hand.

That's right, make a lot of money ...

Since the outbreak of the First World War, domestic industry has flourished, and the automobile industry has naturally been among them. In the space of ten years, in addition to a few automobile companies founded by Yan Guang, at least a dozen automobile companies have appeared across the country.

It's just that unlike Yan Guang's several companies, these dozen or so automobile companies do not have a large amount of financial support, so the development is not very smooth―――――― at least in terms of production capacity and brand can not be compared, not to mention anything else, just by virtue of Yan Guang's prestige and status in China, I don't know how many people are interested in buying the cars produced by his company.

What's more, Yan Guang himself has reached the point where he is poor and only has money left, so he naturally will not be stingy to invest in his company.

So both in terms of technology and scale. Several of Yanguang's automobile companies are definitely leading brands at home and abroad, so not only in China. Even in foreign countries, there used to be a lot of cars exported from other countries. At least at present, one-third of Japan's cars are made in China, the other third is occupied by Ford Motor Company and General Motors, which landed in Japan in 23, and the last third is by Mitsubishi, a local automobile factory in Tokyo. Fast forward, Topol and Utility car factories occupy ...

(Historically, Ford landed in Japan in 24.) GM landed in Japan in '26, with a slight change here, and the historical protection measures in Japan began in 1936. At that time, the Japanese government and military department wanted to protect the country's automobile industry. The Automobile Manufacturing Business Act was enacted, prohibiting the import of automobile parts and car bodies. ）

In the case that several automobile companies have almost occupied the automobile market and have begun to march abroad, more than a dozen domestic private enterprises can only carve up the remaining soup and water of these automobile companies together with other foreign automobile companies―――――― which is still due to the fact that the Chinese people at that time have a strong local concept, so many gentry and entrepreneurs are the first choice when buying cars are hometown car brands. ..., in addition, at this time, the average peasant in China only had a few acres of land at most, and the more was only more than ten acres. There is simply no concept of using a tractor. Those who will buy tractors are more enlightened landlords. And there are too few such landlords in the country.

Therefore, although it cannot be said that these companies have not developed, compared with several companies under Yan Guang, it is inevitable that there is a feeling of malnutrition.

After all, several automobile companies under Yan Guang have spread all over the country and have begun to move overseas, while these private automobile companies are limited to the problem of funds, and can only be limited to one province and one place...

In other words, the development of these automobile companies is completely limited to their own province, if the development of this province is good, then limited to the local feelings, the gentry and businessmen in this province will naturally take care of the automobile enterprises in their hometown, but if one day the economy of this province is not good...

Of course, the bosses of these companies have not thought about changing all this, but in the absence of sufficient funds, even if they want to change, they are powerless...

But it was at this time that a new policy emerged...

――――――――――

"The government of the Republic of China announced that it will order a total of 300,000 tractors from major domestic automobile companies for the development of Kazakhstan and other provinces..."

God knows what the excitement of the owners of those car companies became when they saw this headline in the newspaper. Of course, after the excitement, they also began to worry, because they were worried about whether the government would hand over all the orders for the 300,000 tractors to several companies under Yan Guang―――――― although Yan Guang never thought of seeking unreasonable benefits for his own enterprises, but considering Yan Guang's own identity, even if Yan Guang did not have any ideas, but after the conflict between Yan Guang's companies and private companies, local officials still favored several companies under Yan Guang, and this is also an indisputable fact, Therefore, the concerns of these private enterprise owners are not unreasonable.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for some officials to come to the door, and investigated the technical level, product quality and production capacity of these enterprises, and gave corresponding orders in response to the investigation.

At the end of the survey, the due order quantity is given based on the results of the survey.

Usually these orders are calculated in thousands, but in rare cases, they are also calculated in thousands.

But even a thousand is by no means a small number, because that is already a business worth hundreds of thousands. Of course, 1,000 is definitely not a big number, because Ford's Model T produced more than 10,000 units in its first year, and by the time it was discontinued in 1927, Ford had produced 15 million Model T cars alone...

China's population is quite large, at least several times that of the United States.

However, everything is afraid of one per capita, and China's economy itself is still far from the United States, so the car is still a new thing in China.

In the past decade or so, China has made rapid progress, but so far there are only more than 3 million private motor vehicles in the country, and the country's motor vehicle production is only more than 4 million if you include overseas markets. Although this number is growing every year, it is also an indisputable fact that there is a large gap between China and the United States.

However, in any case, 300,000 tractors is never a small number. His stimulus to China's auto industry and other industries is also unquestionable. And that's one of the reasons why the boss just now was so excited, because with the advent of government orders. The goal he has always dreamed of entering the market outside the province has finally been achieved...

So...

"Come on, everyone. When these cars roll off the assembly line, I will give you a bonus!! After seeing the first car off the assembly line, the boss of the company shouted loudly to the workers in the factory, and the sound was so loud that even the roar of the machine could not be hidden.

But his words were very effective. After hearing the boss's words about the bonus, the morale of these workers who were busy on the production line was quickly boosted. The movements at hand have also been significantly sped up.

This kind of morale-boosting dialogue is not only found here, but also in car companies in other provinces.

In this year, dare to start a business. Especially for large enterprises. Almost all of them are rare doers, and such people naturally know how to seize opportunities. Now that the opportunity is in front of them, if they don't know how to cherish it, they will regret it for the rest of their lives...

――――――――――

At a time when domestic entrepreneurs are still excited about the huge orders from the national government, foreign automobile companies are also jealous. After all, 300,000 tractors is definitely a lot of business, so when they learned that they were excluded, several car companies that had already expanded their market in China quickly used their influence. Let the government of your country come forward to negotiate with the government of the national community.

The governments of the United States and Britain have copied the demands of entrepreneurs.

After all, if this can be done. It can also be of great benefit to their country.

However, it is a pity that the original order for 300,000 tractors in China was not only for the use of the people who had migrated to Kazakhstan and other provinces to settle down, but also for the development of domestic industry.

At this time, if a part of the orders are distributed to foreign enterprises, is it the development of domestic industry or the development of foreign industry?

So while governments sent diplomats at almost the highest level, in the end they were disappointed.

"These foreign devils really want to get together when they see the benefits..."

After sending the U.S. ambassador away, Yan Guang, who was lying on the sofa on his back, said a little unpleasantly.

Although the attitude of the US ambassador was very polite during the meeting, there were no less than a dozen people who came to Yan Guang these days, and it naturally made Yan Guang a little unhappy that he had been coming down like this.

"Foreigners are inherently profit-oriented, so it's not surprising that this will happen."

Xu Shichang took an orange from the table, slowly brushed it away, and said softly.

It's just that just when Xu Shichang was about to put a petal of orange in his mouth, he didn't know why Xu Shichang suddenly coughed violently.

Seeing Xu Shichang's appearance, Yan Guang hurriedly got up from the sofa, and the other people in the room also came over one by one, wanting to see if Xu Shichang was in trouble. The subordinates in the room hurriedly ran out of the room and called Yan Guang's personal doctor.

Just as Yan Guang's personal doctor ran into the room quickly, Xu Shichang, who was coughing violently, finally relieved his breath, and then waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.

However, although Xu Shichang said this, others did not dare to relax their vigilance at all, and several of Yan Guang's personal doctors even surrounded Xu Shichang in a circle and carefully examined his body.

On the side, Yan Guang and several others looked at Xu Shichang with a worried face.

After about a quarter of an hour, the doctors who were surrounding Xu Shichang finally finished the examination, and one of them walked to Yan Guang's side and said softly.

"President, there's no problem anymore..."

After beckoning and motioning for the doctor to go to the corner with him, Yan Guang asked.

"What's the situation? Is it serious? ”

"It's so serious that I can't say it, the main problem is that Premier Xu is too old, and at his age, many diseases will naturally come..."

Hearing the doctor say this, a trace of worry flashed on Yan Guang's face again.

That's right, Xu Shichang is too old...

As a person born in 1855, Xu Shichang is now 70 years old, and the average life expectancy of Chinese in later generations is only in his seventies?

Although at present, Xu Shichang's health is not bad, but some preparations still have to be made early, after all, many things always come suddenly, just like a relative of Yan Guang in his previous life, he was obviously reprimanded very energetically not long ago......... Ahem, but it didn't take long for this loved one to pass away, and it was so sudden that it was unimaginable, knowing that she was only in her 50s...

After signaling the doctor to step back, Yan Guang glanced at Xu Shichang, who was taking a sip of water.

More than ten years have passed, and now Yan Guang no longer needs Xu Shichang to be the mediator of the original Beiyang First Department, but as Yan Guang's most powerful assistant, Yan Guang is really inseparable from Xu Shichang...

"What's the trouble..."

Just when Yan Guang had a headache, with various policies and measures, the domestic industry was also rising, especially the orders for 300,000 tractors, in addition to supporting those automobile companies, but also benefiting many parts suppliers who survived around these companies.

In addition, what Yan Guang didn't know was that Xu Shichang, who worried him in front of him, finally lived until 1939 in history, in other words, the two of them were not sure who was worried about whom in the end...
