Chapter 403: Immigration
After the required equipment arrived, the factory was gradually enveloped in the roar of machinery
In the near future, the iron ore produced here will be transported by rail to a nearby steel base for smelting, and according to the plan set by the government, within 10 years, Kustannai and Karaganda in Kazakhstan and Baotou in Inner Mongolia will each become large steel bases with a total production capacity of 5 million tons
Of course, it will take continuous efforts to achieve all this, and most importantly, a stable political environment, after all, it is completely impossible to build a steel base in Kazakhstan and Inner Mongolia without strong and continuous support
Just like Kazakhstan in another time and space, as one of the five major steel industry bases in the Soviet Union, the Kazakh steel industry base is the latest in the development of the five bases, the lowest level, but the conditions here are very good, not only has the third largest coke production base in the Soviet Union, but also Kustannay and Karaganda are also rich in iron ore, which is conducive to the development of the steel industry...
Kazakhstan's natural conditions are by no means inferior to any other region, and if it can be carefully cultivated, it can become the industrial pillar of a country, but the sudden collapse of the Soviet Union has killed the Kazakh steel industry, which is still in the formative stage......... No, it should be premature...
However, unlike the Soviet Union, as long as Yan Guang is alive for a day, he will never let the lessons of the Soviet Union happen to China, and one thing is that Yan Guang is much younger than Stalin...
ββββββββββ
Just as the factory was moving columns of iron ore to a nearby steel base, a group of residents had just arrived in Kazakhstan...
"Sir, may I ask how long it will take to arrive..."
In a bus, a young man in his twenties cautiously asked an officer next to him, and as he spoke, he pointed to his companion next to him
"This ......... It seems that the big bull is about to run out of steam..."
The officer's attitude was quite gentle, but after following the young man's fingers, the officer's face also smiled bitterly
Without him, because the companion named Da Niu in the young man's mouth was lying on the car window at this time and kept spitting, it seemed ......... This guy seems to be a bit of motion sickness?
ββ¦β¦β¦ This guy called Da Niu seems to have been throwing up for a long time, hasn't he finished throwing up..."After saying this with a wry smile, the officer looked at his watch and looked outside, "Let him hold on for a while, there will be more than twenty minutes to go..."
Hearing the officer say this, the young man hurriedly walked to his companion's side and patted him on his back
"Did you hear that, it's holding on, it's coming soon..."
That being said, but the happy cow who was vomiting over there had no way to answer him...
Fortunately, as the officer said, it didn't take long for the bus to arrive at its destination, otherwise, according to the state of the young man named Da Niu, it was really possible to vomit until he hung up...
About 20 minutes later, the bus arrived at its destination
When the passengers in the car got out of the car, almost all of them, including the officers, breathed a sigh of relief, although it may not be good to say so, but there was a guy in the car who kept vomiting because of motion sickness, and it really didn't make the journey very pleasant
Especially if the whole journey has been going on for several hours, and the passengers in the car have become a little irritable
However, after getting off the bus, although the eyes of the passengers looking at this strange land were a little confused, there was more of a joy
That's right, joy
Because at this moment, the land here belongs to them...
"Sir, is this right..."
Looking at the village in front of him, which was already a little rudimentary, an old man who was at least 70 years old walked up to the officer and said tremblingly..., "Of course, this is the right place...", the officer walked to the middle of the crowd, and said loudly to the passengers who looked around, "After a long journey, this is the terminal for you, just like you heard in your hometown, here the government will give each of you at least 100 acres of land and enough food and seeds for three years for free, In addition, there are tractors and plenty of gasoline, and the government will send a maintenance worker to each village to teach you how to use and maintain the tractor and other tools..."
Standing in front of the bus, the officers kept describing everything the government would provide them, and the travelers were equally fascinated by everything the officers described...
That's right, these are the so-called immigrants ...
What are the best ways to occupy a piece of land that is already inhabited by indigenous people forever?
Option one, kill all the aborigines here...
The second option is to move a large number of immigrants, more than the aborigines, here, and slowly assimilate the aborigines here
Option 3 combines option 1 and option 2, just like the United States across the ocean
Although the Americans did not kill all the Indians, it is an indisputable fact that by the time the situation in the United States stabilized, there were few Indians left, and it was indeed a good idea to reduce the number of indigenous people to a point where they could not cause trouble
In another world, the Indians, although they still have a little bit of it, can't cause any trouble to the United States, one reason is because they have been assimilated by the Americans, and the second reason is that they simply have no power to retaliate against the Americans
Although the Americans' approach is good, it is not suitable for Yan Guang
South orange and north orange...
What works for the U.S. may not work for China...
Reading from a book is not something to learn...
Indeed, just like the United States, the indigenous people of China, like the Indians, occupy a vast land area with a small population, at least in this respect the United States and China are the same
However, there are more different places than the same places...
First of all, unlike the Indians, neither the Iraqis, nor the Slavs, nor the Caucasians and Turks, were they uncivilized or relatively simple? The Indians can compare
Second, and most importantly, this is the point
There are only two countries bordering the United States, one is called Mexico and the other is called Canada, and both countries are weaker than the United States, especially Mexico, which has been cut a lot of meat by the United States in history
As a result, these two countries were unable to provide much support to the Indians
However, China is different...
There are too many countries bordering China's territory, Britain, the Soviet Union, France, Turkey...
Although there are very few aborigines in the territory, but if all of them are added up, there are still more than 10 million, if China really dares to be like the United States, as long as these countries provide a certain amount of military support to the aborigines, then China will definitely fall into the sea of people...
Therefore, it was decided that the national government must use more moderate means to deal with the indigenous people of these territories
Fortunately, the Kazakhs and Tatars of Kazakhstan had been bullied by the Russians, as were most of the remaining stans, so these Central Asian natives were not very resistant to the arrival of the Chinese, especially after the Chinese abolished the harsh rules of many Russians and treated them equally
The Caucasus and other places are a little more enthusiastic than the Kazakhs, especially the Armenians...
In the First World War, the massacre of the Armenians by the Turks caused heavy losses to the Armenians, and the Chinese that drove the Turks away at this time seemed like a savior in the eyes of the Armenians, coupled with the policy of "religious freedom" of the national government, so the Armenians were also more welcomeββββββ no matter what kind of day, it was much better than the days when they were almost killed by the Turks..., the only difficult thing to deal with was the Slavs in the south of the Volga, the Turks in Erzurumββββββ Even the Iraqis and Kuwaitis in Mesopotamia are better than them
For Turkey, if Iraq and other places can only be regarded as colonies, then Erzurum is even the core of Turkey, almost all of the people living in the Erzurum region are Turks, and these Turks are also very unwilling to their current status quo, plus they can get direct support from Turkey, which is really a headache
As for the southern Volga region, it goes without saying that the partisans operating there for the first two years were formed by the Soviet Red Army ...
Compared with these two, the Iraqis and Kuwaitis are much easier to do, after all, these two places have not been a country for many years, and life under the hands of the Turks is not very good, as long as the national government gives them religious respect, generally speaking, the people in these two places rarely get into trouble...
ββββββββββ
For various reasons, if the national government wants to take root in the territory, it can only choose the second option, that is, to "harmonize" all the citizens in the territory through mass immigration
Anyway, if it's just a lot of people, China has never been afraid of anyone since ancient times...
Well, it doesn't seem very accurate to say that, because on the other side of the Himalayas in another world, the number of Indians is already about to cross China, or ratherββββββ according to the capabilities of the Indian government, coupled with the chaos in India itself, it is 100% believed that India's demographics are inaccurate...
While a lot of people is a good thing, too many people are not very good, and this is especially important for India
Because if there are many people, first of all, you have to find enough jobs, and secondly, you have to have enough food to feed these people
Everything is afraid of per capita, because if there are more people, even if your total number is more, it will become less...
India in the other world has 170 million hectares of arable land, 50 million hectares more than China's 121 million 07 years, that 0.1 does not care, and India's environment is also very suitable for farming, but in this case, India's grain production is only more than 200 million tons, less than half of China's grain production...
In this case, India has the highest number of undernourished people in the world, but even so, India's population is still growing...
What makes people laugh is that people in many countries, including India, actually think that the large number of people is an advantage of India, because India has an abundant labor force, and the question is where do you go to find enough jobs to provide all India? What's more, the laziness of Indians is still famous all over the world...
"Family planning is really good..."
Although in another world Chinese the title of the largest country is about to be snatched away by India, but in this world, China is still the most populous country, and the population of more than 400 million is neither more nor less, very moderateββββββ should no one cherish the title of the largest country in terms of population?
Therefore, the task of assimilating the indigenous people with a large enough population is perfect for the Chinese
It was in this context that the Communist Government decided to assimilate the indigenous peoples of the territory through demographic superiority, achieving the goal of occupying these territories forever
But immigration is not a simple matter, at least not something that can be done by words
First of all, you have to solve a lot of problems, you have to prepare a lot of work, and secondly, and most importantly, where do you find so many people who have voluntarily left their homeland to live in unfamiliar places?
If it was ancient times, the ancient emperor could at least directly relocate the people in some places and even the rich to another place through forcible means, and this kind of thing has happened many times in history..., but now it is not the kind of feudal dynasty in ancient times, although the current Yan Guang is actually no different from the emperor, three palaces and six courts, saying the same, but after all, the name of the country still has the word republic, so if you want people to immigrate to another place obediently, you have to give people enough benefits...
The benefits given by the Communist government are 100 acres of arable land per person, a tractor per household, plus three years of grain, seeds, gasoline, etc.
A hundred acres of arable land, and again per person, not per household ...
It should be said that the amount of 100 acres is indeed exaggerated, but as the granary of the Soviet Union in another world and the largest landlocked country in the world, Kazakhstan has always been known for its large arable land and sparsely populated land...
In addition, these lands are basically for nothing, and Yan Guang and the others are naturally not very distressed
If the conditions given by Yan Guang and others are 10 acres or 30 acres, I am afraid that the people who are unable to leave their homeland may not be willing to live in a "poor and remote" place like Kazakhstan, but if it is said that 100 acres of good arable land are distributed for free...
What's more, each household has a tractor plus three years of fuel supply...
In the first week, the number of applicants from all over the country reached 100,000...
And that number continues to grow over time
At the same time, since several provinces in Central Asia are models of vast and sparsely populated areas, there is no need to worry about any friction between the immigrants and the indigenous people...
As for the future?
After a few decades, when Central Asia was already filled with tens of millions of Chinese from the interior, assimilation would naturally come to an end...
"Then everyone, I'll take you to your house first..."
After explaining everything provided by the national government, the officer smiled and said as he looked at these fascinated immigrants
These officers are very clear about the purpose of the government, and it is precisely because of this that the officers are very cooperative with the government's policy, after all, the land that was fought to the death is to occupy him permanently...
At this time, these immigrants who had just arrived at home heard the officer say this, and they all nodded eagerly
ββββββββββ
While the officers were happily visiting their homes, there was also a group of people in the far east visiting their homes
It's just that unlike the happiness on the faces of the Kazakh immigrants, these immigrants who have just arrived in Sakhalin have all kinds of expressions, but there is no doubt that there is absolutely no such thing as happiness...
"Ahh
Just as hundreds of people were walking forward in a line under the watchful eye of the soldiers on both sides, a young Turkish man suddenly burst out of the line and howled and pounced on the nearest soldier
But before he could pounce on the soldier, several rifle butts had already knocked him to the ground
At the same time, the surrounding soldiers also raised their guns in unison and aimed them at the team that stopped moving forward, which also made the more than ten young men who were about to follow him stop after seeing the young man pounce
"You damned Chinese, you're going to hell"
The young man who had been knocked over struggled to get up, shouted and cursed loudly in Russian to the soldiers surrounding him
Although those soldiers couldn't understand Russian, even if they just looked at their expressions, they understood that this guy in front of them was definitely not saying anything good...
"Looking for Death"
The butt of a rifle struck on the head, knocking the young man who was shouting and scolding unconscious, and the officer who did it said to several of his subordinates
"Drag this guy down and throw him in jail for a few days..."
"Yes"
Having received the order, several soldiers dragged the Slavic youth down
And the team that had stopped before also moved forward again..., but after seeing the scene just now, the eyes of these immigrants were filled with despair, and there was also grief and hatred...
However, under the watchful eye of the soldiers on both sides, they could do nothing...
Because they are now on Sakhalin, and not in their native Erzurum ...
As mentioned above, in the occupation operations of the Wehrmacht there were those who cooperated, like Kazakhstan and the Caucasus, and there were those who did not, like the southern Volga and Erzurum ...
Of course, there are also those like Iraq and Kuwait, who neither cooperate nor cooperate...
Although the ant-like resistance groups and guerrillas could not shake the rule of the Nationalist government, it was a troublesome thing to be attacked and harassed by the guerrillas all the time, especially after these guerrillas received funding from Britain, France, the Soviet Union, Turkey and other countries...
Faced with this situation, the government adopted the method of "merging families and villages", centralizing and managing the originally scattered villages, and the local government also adopted the method of joint sitting, that is, if there is a resistance in one village, then the whole village will be implicated
Of course, the punishment is not to kill the entire village, but for them it is about the same...
Because the punishment for the appearance of guerrillas in one area is to move the entire village to Sakhalin Island, seven or eight thousand kilometers away...
"Don't you like to make trouble? Then make enough trouble on the island..."
After relocating all the villages in an area where attacks were frequent to Sakhalin, an officer addressed the people who knew how many guerrillas had been involved...
Anyway, Sakhalin is rich in fishery resources, so let them make a living from fishing ... (To be continued)
