Guerrilla warfare is a troublesome tactic because guerrillas are usually attached to and receive support from the local population. Even the people in many villages are guerrillas, as long as they need it...

So it's a hassle to get rid of the guerrillas, because it's hard to tell which one is the guerrillas from the people. And if it is done hastily, then the end result is to create more guerrillas ...

Afghanistan and Iraq in the other world, why haven't the Americans cleaned up the guerrillas for so many years? In Yan Guang's view, one of the more important reasons for this is that when the US military launches a strike against guerrillas (terrorists) in a region, it will also kill dozens of local civilians while killing a few terrorists...

That's right, the Americans have a legitimate reason, which is to eliminate terrorists.

For people in the United States and other countries, it is understandable that the elimination of terrorists is accompanied by some civilian casualties. Can those civilians who have family members die understand? It's nothing if it's just to eliminate terrorists, but your own family will be killed for no reason...

Strangely, however, the Americans could not understand why Iraqis and Afghans hated them...

But it's not surprising who called the death of not their family...

Hatred only creates hatred, that's what it is...

If the opponent is just one person or more than a dozen or dozens of families, then it is okay to kill all these people, but what if the opponent is a nation with hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions...

Is it going to wipe out this nation completely?

Although Yan Guang was well aware that this was not impossible, at least during the First World War, the Turks slaughtered at least a million Armenians.

And twenty years after the other world...

Either way, it's crazy, and it's likely to have terrible consequences...

So in any case, a genocidal massacre is unacceptable...

What's more, they have become new citizens under the jurisdiction of the national government, raising their butcher's knives to slaughter their own people? Let's wash and sleep...

――――――――――

Violence can solve most things. But there are still some problems that cannot be resolved, at least in the new territories, which cannot be solved by violence.

Therefore. The Nationalist government must adopt a more modest approach. And this means of assimilating the indigenous peoples of the new territory through immigration.

After all, population is one of China's great advantages, and assimilating others through superior population is the best means, at least for the past 5,000 years, the Chinese have been doing this, and this method has always been very effective...

In this line of thought. The Nationalist government began to induce the population of the country to move to the new territory.

In order to be able to induce more people to move to the new territory, the Nationalist government even offered a number of extremely favorable conditions.

Needless to say, such as exemption from agricultural taxes or something. Because agricultural taxes have been abolished in China for many years, proposing such a policy would only make people laugh at it.

What really attracts the population is the condition of giving away arable land for free...

One hundred acres of arable land. And it's per person, not per household...

You know, even in the mainland. The average farmer only has a few acres of land, but as long as he moves to Kazakhstan and other places, he can get 100 acres of arable land for free...

In the hinterland, after years of development, the average worker working in a factory can earn 10 yuan a month, and those with better benefits can earn more, but even such a worker wants to buy 100 acres of arable land. It still takes at least ten years of struggle. ..., and now, just move the family to a strange place. can get 100 acres of arable land for free, who wouldn't want to do such a thing? What's more, in addition to a hundred acres of arable land, the government also gave away tractors, fuel, and the required grain for free, etc...

(Historically, the New Army had only 7 silver dollars a month, which was a very rare high salary, and the Wehrmacht in the book was only paid 10 silver dollars on the eve of World War I.) In addition, during the First World War, Chinese workers who moved to Europe were paid their monthly salaries. Well, it should be said that there is still a big difference, because the Chinese workers working in England work 10 hours a day and earn 10 silver dollars a month, while the Chinese workers working in France also work 10 hours but can earn 16 silver dollars, but it is not difficult to understand, after all, one is at the front and the other is in the rear. At that time, China sent more than 140,000 Chinese laborers to France, and nearly 20,000 were lost and killed or injured in the war, so it was not very safe to be a worker.

In addition, the wages of Chinese workers were about one-half or two-thirds of those of French workers at that time, but the exchange rate between the franc and the silver dollar was fluctuating at that time, so 16 silver dollars was the highest exchange rate of the franc, and as the war continued, the exchange rate of the franc was also constantly changing, and when the value of the franc was at its highest, a franc was worth about 4 silver horns, that is, 4 cents. However, according to the Chinese workers at the time, after arriving in France to receive their first salary, they found that one franc could only buy an egg in France... ）

In keeping with the times, the Wehrmacht's salary during the First World War was only 10 silver dollars, but it is obviously impossible to reach this level in 25 years, after all, even the wages of ordinary workers have reached the level of 10 silver dollars.

(At that time, 10 silver dollars could buy more than 1,000 catties of sorghum!) If calculated at such a market price, you can get 12,000 thousand sorghum a year, which can feed a family of 24, so 10 silver dollars is definitely a lot. ）

Although the average salary of factory workers at that time had reached 10 silver dollars, even if a worker wanted to buy 100 acres of arable land, it would take 10 years without eating or drinking, not to mention that there were other benefits besides arable land, so in the first week after receiving the government's summoning order, 100,000 people were summoned across the country in just the first week...

And according to government statistics, this number will continue to grow, so that in the first year at least a million people can be relocated to Kazakhstan and other places...

And the government doesn't really pay much for all this.

For example, the arable land was acquired by the expeditionary forces during the war at a small and almost negligible cost, and then considering the vast arable land area in Kazakhstan and other places, there are many problems that the government does not need to worry about.

The only thing the government has to pay is the tractors distributed to each household and the food and fuel that needs to be provided to the farmers every year for three years.

But that's not much. Like fuel, you can pick it up directly from the nearest Caucasus. Food can also be purchased first from ethnic Kazakhs and Tatars living in Kazakhstan. If it is not enough, it can also be transported from the mainland by rail.

As for tractors?

Although the price of tractors is not cheap, the budget of the national government is also the highest ever, so it is not enough to have a few tractors, let alone order tractors and small trucks from domestic car factories. It can also effectively stimulate the development of domestic industry.

So far, the government has made a decision to the domestic car factories (at that time cars and tractors were inseparable. Because people at that time needed tractors more than cars, and they really only relied on car orders. The vast majority of car factories will not survive. For example, Lamborghini specialized in the production of tractors in the early years, and Daimler also produced tractors) ordered 300,000 tractors, half of which were produced by the car factory owned by Yan Guang, and the other half was obtained by the private car factories in China. ..., it is not that Yan Guang uses his power for personal gain and uses his power to seek benefits for his company, but the reason why the production capacity of these private automobile factories is insufficient.

The production capacity of these private automobile factories is all combined. can only eat 100,000 orders, and the extra 50,000 are still given to them by Yan Guang out of consideration for cultivating private enterprises.

Although the price of 300,000 farm tractors is definitely not expensive. But the benefits of migration and the help to domestic industries, such as car companies and parts suppliers, are worth the cost.

――――――――――

Assimilation of the indigenous peoples of the new territories through mass immigration is a good idea, as the Nationalist government has done in places like Kazakhstan, but it is not so easy to do in places like Iraq after leaving Central Asia.

An important reason is that from the northernmost part of the Volga River to the southernmost parts of Iraq and Kuwait, including Erzurum and the Caucasus, which were formerly part of Turkey, these regions do not have the same large amount of arable land as Kazakhstan.

And unlike Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, which are vast and sparsely populated, these areas have a large number of people, so almost all of the arable land that is not much in the first place is owned...

Therefore, it is completely unfeasible to use arable land to lure the people of the interior to move to these areas, as in Kazakhstan and other places in Central Asia, because the Communist government cannot give so much land to the people who have migrated here.

Moreover, unlike Kazakhstan, except for the Caucasus, the remaining regions have a great deal of resistance to the rule of the national government, and if a large group of peasant households are really recruited to grab land with them, it will only intensify the ethnic contradictions here

Fortunately, there is no way, but compared with the method of giving away arable land, this method is obviously much slower...

"Work..."

After thinking about it in many ways, this is the answer given by Yan Guang's think tank.

If you donate arable land, there is obviously not so much arable land in Iraq and other regions, and forced relocation will also damage Yan Guang's prestige, and as for going to the mountains and going to the countryside, it is obviously not related to this kind of thing.

Therefore, the ideal way is to let young people from the mainland and their families move to Iraq and other areas through work.

In Iraq and other places, there is almost no arable land, and most of them already have owners, even if all the indigenous people are driven out, and then these poor arable land is distributed to the peasants, it is estimated that it will not be enough.

But the work is different...

You know, there is a lot of oil in Iraq and the Caucasus, so it takes a considerable amount of manpower to extract the oil. In addition to oil, refineries also require a lot of manpower, as well as power stations and other industrial ...

In addition, regions such as the Caucasus, in addition to oil, are also relatively rich in mineral resources, and it is completely possible to recruit many miners here to carry out mining and smelting work.

Although the process may be slow, with gradual development, it will not be a problem to attract millions of people from the mainland to live in these areas. Although these regions may not be as overwhelming as Kazakhstan, half and half are still possible.

After generations of reproduction, coupled with the response of neighboring Kazakh and other provinces, the rule of the national government in these regions will naturally be as stable as a rock...

――――――――――

Assimilation. It's a very effective tool, but the problem with this method is that it's too slow to scale.

Even if everything is on the horizon. If you want it to work. It will take at least thirty to fifty years to completely solve the hidden dangers in these areas. ..., but can things really look better? At least until the Soviets and the British die, it will never be possible ...

Moreover, the guerrillas that exist in these lands will not disappear because of the policy of assimilation.

On the contrary. Instead, they may have made the resistance more frequent because of their assimilation policies―――――― in fact, in these areas. It's never been frequent.

Beginning in 1923, Britain, the Soviet Union, and other countries vigorously supported the guerrillas in the Middle East and the Caucasus, causing the Nationalist government to suffer great losses in these regions. In particular, several oil fields in the Caucasus and in Iraq and Kuwait were destroyed. That's a million dollars a day...

Since the sabotage event. Feng Nan, who was in charge of the Caucasus Military District, deployed a large number of troops in several oil-producing areas, making it impossible for the partisans to get close to the oil-producing areas. At this time, the Nationalist government also began to take retaliatory measures, sending a large number of personnel to the British and French colonies in Indochina, and at the same time supporting the ** organizations in Indochina.

In the past two years, after various purges. Unable to disrupt relations in oil-producing areas, the guerrillas in Iraq and elsewhere have shifted their targets in other directions.

And the resistance groups on Indochina. Thanks to the support of the national government, the scale has also expanded a lot.

In particular, the resistance group in Vietnam, due to the outstanding ability of Ho Chi Minh and others, and the small influence of the French in Indochina, made the resistance group led by Ho Chi Minh have formed a strong force.

Although this force could not shake the rule of the French in Vietnam, it had undoubtedly become a force that even the French did not dare to take lightly.

"The most important thing is that at least half of the cadres of the Vietnamese resistance are made up of Chinese in Vietnam and agents sent by the Nationalist government..."

Speaking of this, Cai Yi smiled and said.

"Today's Vietnamese Revolutionary Army is directly controlled by us..."

"Yes, that's why Ho Chi Minh also has a lot of complaints..."

Hearing Cai Ye say this, Jiang Baili on the side also said with a smile.

"Quite a complaint?" Yan Guang smiled and didn't say anything more.

It is true that after two years of hard work, Ho Chi Minh, with the help of the Nationalist government, had integrated the resistance and guerrillas in Vietnam and formed a large resistance organization called the "Revolutionary Army of Vietnam".

Today, the organization, known as the "Revolutionary Army of Vietnam", has more than 100,000 troops and has integrated at least half of the resistance in Vietnam.

At the same time, most of the weapons and other materials needed by the "Vietnamese Revolutionary Army" were also provided by the Nationalist Government, otherwise the Vietnamese Revolutionary Army would not have been able to expand to the present extent.

However, there has never been a reason to get benefits for nothing in this world, and while the Vietnamese Revolutionary Army has been growing with the support of the Nationalist Government, the Vietnamese Revolutionary Army, an armed organization that originally had a certain personality, has also begun to be controlled by the Nationalist Government.

In the beginning, only some soldiers and secret agents who assisted in the work in Vietnam were allowed to serve in the revolutionary army, and later they vigorously promoted Vietnamese Chinese to some important positions.

Up to now, at least half of the cadres in the Vietnamese Revolutionary Army are personnel sent by the Kuomintang government and Vietnamese Chinese, and among the remaining half of the cadres, there are also many pro-China people supported by the Kuomintang government...

Although Ho Chi Minh was not overshadowed in the revolutionary army due to the good relations between Ho Chi Minh and the Nationalist government, it is also an indisputable fact that the revolutionary army was completely controlled by the Nationalist government.

At such a point, how could Ho Chi Minh, as the builder of the revolutionary army and at the same time a Vietnamese, be happy? ..., however, in another world, the posture of the Vietnamese white-eyed wolf is too fresh for Yan Quang to remember, so although Ho Chi Minh was an out-and-out pro-China person at this time, Yan Guang still had to do this...

"By the way, how is Sakhalin doing now?"

After sitting together and chatting for a while. Yan Guang turned around and asked Xiang Yue Changdao.

Hearing Yan Guang's question, Cai Yi, Jiang Baili and the others also turned around and looked at them curiously.

None of them. Because this thing is so curious.

And Yue Chang thought about it. He replied.

"Those guys seem to have resigned themselves to their fate, and now they're starting to learn how to fish in earnest..."

The guys in Yue Chang's mouth are naturally the Iraqis, Russians and Turks who were relocated to Sakhalin...

In dealing with the indigenous people in general, the national government mainly adopted assimilation measures.

And against the guerrillas. There are three main measures taken by the national government.

The first is the clearance, through hundreds of aircraft deployed in Iraq and elsewhere. As soon as guerrilla movements were detected, the local garrison carried out a crackdown. Over the course of two years, the guerrillas in several areas suffered heavy casualties.

Another measure is to "merge families into villages". That is, the originally scattered families and villages are managed in a centralized manner. This will also allow for a better concentration of resources in the hands of the local government.

As for the third measure, it is somewhat related to the second measure.

That's the sitting...

If a guerrilla is found in a village, or if a villager's support for a guerrilla is discovered, even if only one person in a village does so, the whole village will be punished.

This punishment is not to kill all the villagers, but to move the entire village to Sakhalin...

Sakhalin...

One both in the past and in the present. It's not a very rich island...

And most importantly, for Iraqis living in a tropical desert climate. For Turks living in a temperate continental climate, living in the cold Sakhalin is undoubtedly a very painful thing.

Sakhalin has a continental climate with cold summers and short winters that last for six months, with average winters ranging from -19°C to -24°C, with temperatures as low as -40°C in the north. Several ports have been frozen for a long time, and the northern part has been frozen for up to eight months.

It should be said that the Northeast is the coldest region in China, but even in the Northeast, there are very few areas like Sakhalin Island (Mohe Town is colder than Sakhalin Island, and it is also the coldest place in China), not to mention whether the Northeast people like a region with a winter of up to six months, at least the answer of Iraqis and Turks can be known without asking...

Unfortunately, they chose to support the Resistance against the Communist, so they must be punished.

Because everyone knows that the guerrillas cannot survive without the support of the local people, and the root cause of the frequent attacks of the guerrillas lies in the support of these villagers...

Even among these villagers, I am afraid that many of them are members of the guerrillas...

But everything doesn't matter, because they have all been sent to Sakhalin.

Sakhalin at this time was undoubtedly a very inhospitable place, with only a small number of inhabitants (by the twenty-first century) a handful of inhabitants (by the twenty-first century), except for a single division of garrisons, so it didn't matter what they were doing, as long as they didn't sink the island.

As for fleeing back to Iraq?

First of all, they need to go to Vladivostok, a thousand kilometers away, because only the Trans-Siberian Railway there will be able to send them back to Iraq―――――― of course you can also choose to take a boat there.

This method was relatively simple for the Iraqis and Turks who had been relocated to Sakhalin, because if they were allowed to fish for a living, they would have to be given fishing boats. ..., although it was only a few small fishing boats, it was no problem to send them to the other side of the sea...

The real question is how they will return to Iraq after a journey of almost 10,000 kilometers ...

Documents are required for both boat and train, and their documents are specially marked, and even if they are mixed with transportation in a special way, they will be found in countless inspections and re-routed to Sakhalin...

It is precisely for these reasons that these villagers are already desperate at the same time as they are sent to Sakhalin.

And this is the biggest reason why Cai and Jiang Baili are curious, because they really want to know how a group of people living in the desert live on Sakhalin...

Of course, there is a small problem with the relocation of the inhabitants to Sakhalin, which is that it is important not to let the ordinary indigenous people think that these people were massacred, and thus provoke more resistance.

If it was in ancient times, this problem would have been very difficult to solve, but now in modern times, there are many tools that can help the government solve this problem...

For example, video technology has been developed...

Simply recording the villagers who had migrated to Sakhalin fishing and then broadcasting them in the villages would clear all their doubts―――――― of course, there would be no happy expressions on the faces of the villagers, but it would be enough to prove that they were still alive.

By the time the footage was shown in villages in Iraq and Erzurum, the resistance had been greatly reduced. After all, the villagers are still willing to support a guerrilla team when they have not been implicated in normal times, but if it reaches the point where the entire village will be implicated...

Even if the young people were hot-headed, the village elders would never allow such an act that would implicate the entire village...
