Chapter 718: Northern Xinjiang and Western Xinjiang

Military control in Siberia and Kazakhstan has reached the end of time, and the end of military control is imminent, so the establishment of local administrative government institutions in Siberia and Kazakhstan is already urgent.

On that day, Xiao Zhenlei convened a joint meeting of the principal responsible persons of the Cabinet, the Supervisory Yuan, the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Military Council, with the aim of discussing the establishment of local administrative bodies, courts, supervisory departments, and military garrisons in Siberia and the Kazakh region.

The conference room is solemn, very atmospheric, and magnificent, and it is the meeting room of the highest authority, where many important and far-reaching decisions are made and resolved.

At this time, the place was full of smoke, everyone had cigarettes in their hands, and on the table in front of them were ashtrays, water glasses, a notebook, and a pen.

Xiao Zhenlei took a sip of tea and said: "I summoned you here today, mainly for one thing, in terms of time, the time for military control in Siberia and Kazakhstan is approaching, and from the current situation in these two regions, the social order has stabilized, and the local people of all ethnic groups have also resumed economic activities and production, so it is urgent to establish administrative institutions in these two regions. What do you think of the fact that the courts and local military districts should also set up offices in these two places? ”

Song Shijie first said: "Since the conditions are ripe, the establishment of local administrative institutions must be carried out, and our government will start first, but when the local security departments have not yet been established." Order in the localities will need to be maintained by garrisons, after the establishment of the security departments of our government departments. The garrison will be able to end the time of martial law".

Fan Zhiyong said: "After the government took over the government, our supervision department also entered. Where there is an administrative body, there must be our supervision department."

Supreme Justice Shen Bingzhen said: "Our court will send judges and legal staff to enter with the staff of government departments."

Xiao Zhenlei smoked a cigarette and frowned, and asked, "Have you thought about how to establish government agencies at all levels in various parts of these two regions?" How are the chief officers and staff of the executive branch staffed? All transferred from the center? It's almost impossible, right? Even if you have enough officials and civil servants, when they arrive in the localities, they are not familiar with the local language, the local customs and customs, how are they going to carry out their work? How to open the situation? And how to establish the prestige of the government? ”

Song Shijie thought for a while and said: "After all, Siberia and Kazakhstan are different from the situation in our country, in the past, we established a regime in China on the basis of the old bureaucratic system, and after we have stabilized the power, we are gradually replacing the old bureaucracy, so that it will not cause chaos in the local area. However, the smooth transition of political power was able to appease those Yuan Shikai and the former Qing Dynasty ministers and prevent them from causing chaos, and now we want to establish political power in Siberia and Central Asia, the situation is very different, not only the national customs are not tolerated, but the language is also incomprehensible, and I think that neither the administrative officials nor the law enforcement personnel can all be transferred from the center. The central authorities can only send the officials who are mainly responsible and a certain number of staff members, and then the main responsible officials can select local party members to serve as officials and staff members of our party, and some of these grassroots and middle-level officials can let some officers of the local garrison take up posts after they retire, and the officers of the garrison are more familiar with the local situation. They are familiar with local customs, topography, and the distribution of residents, and it should be more appropriate for them to serve as grassroots and middle-level officials, and then select some members of our party from among the local residents to join some law enforcement departments as officials and staff. With the addition of these people, the main responsible officials sent down from the center will not be blinded."

Fan Zhiyong agreed with Song Shijie's opinion. He said: "Old Song's method is good, this is more secure. After all, the officials sent from the central center are not familiar with the situation there, and they can only grasp the general direction, maintain the local and central authorities, and maintain the authority of the central authorities at critical moments, while the grassroots and middle-level officials must also be found locally; with the current speed of our party's development in Siberia and Central Asia, our party is still quite good among the local masses and grassroots, and there should be enough party members to serve as grassroots officials and do grassroots work."

Xiao Zhenlei thought about it for a while and made a decision: "Okay, then the center will only send the main responsible officials and a certain number of middle-level officials, and all other officials will be selected from the retired officers of the local garrison, local party members and local residents of various nationalities who maintain close relations with our party, and you can also send invitations to some local celebrities, this work will be done by the main responsible officials sent by the center, do you have any other opinions that need to be added?" ”

Everyone shook their heads, and they all said that there was nothing else to add.

Xiao Zhenlei saw that everyone had no opinions, so he said: "Then follow this method." Now let's talk about another problem, Siberia and Central Asia are too big, from the southern end of the Ural Mountains all the way to the Caspian Sea, Iran and Afghanistan to the north, east of the Caspian Sea are under the control of our army, and now this huge land belongs to us, we can't divide such a large piece of land into one administrative region, this is unrealistic, even if we can, we can't do this, so they must be divided into several administrative regions, how to divide them, and how many administrative regions to divide them? What do you think? ”

After Xiao Zhenlei finished speaking, he asked the staff to hang a huge world map on the wall, and the vast areas belonging to Central Asia, the Ural Mountains, and Siberia were all marked in green on the map.

"The green part of the map you see now is Central Asia, the Ural Mountains and Siberia controlled by our army, what we have to do is to divide the provincial-level administrative regions first, Siberia and Central Asia are basically vast and sparsely populated, so the area of each province can be appropriately larger, now you all think about it, how to divide the administrative regions?"

Supreme Justice Shen Bingzhen said: "It is better to divide Siberia into three provinces, Western Siberia, Central Siberia and Eastern Siberia, and Central Asia into Kazakh, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, and then set up a number of cities and counties under these provinces, just like other provinces in China."

Song Shijie shook his head and said: "It's not proper, these names always feel that they don't have the flavor of my country, and the names are too Westernized, which is not good!" Siberia is called 'Luo Wilderness' on the ancient map of our country, and it is called Xipol in Mongolian, so it is better to take one word each, called Rossi, which are West Rossi Province, Central Rossi Province, and East Rossi Province, and the names of the provinces in Central Asia should not be too long and too westernized, I think it can be called Kazakhstan Province, Gil Province, Tuku Province, Taji Province, Uzi Province, etc."

The others couldn't help but feel funny when they heard the names taken by Shen Bingzhen and Song Shijie, the names they took were not like Chinese place names, nor were they like Western names, but they were a little nondescript.

Xiao Zhenlei shook his head and said, "Can you choose a few nice names, why do you feel very awkward when you take these names?" Well?????? In my opinion, it is better to call the entire Siberia and the Ural Mountains the Northern Xinjiang Region, and the Central Asian regions currently controlled by our army are collectively called the Western Xinjiang Region, and the Northern Xinjiang Region only changes the name of the entire Siberia, without setting up another administrative region, and divides the Northern Xinjiang region into four, during the Mongol Empire, the westernmost khanate was called the Kipchak Khanate, therefore, the area east of the Ural Mountains and west of the Yenisei River was called the Kipchak; The area east of the Yenisei River and west of the Lena River is called Mobei Province; The area east of the Lena River, the western section of the Heilongjiang River and the north of the Outer Khing'an Mountains and the west of the Bering Strait is called Modong Province, and the area south of the Outer Khingan Mountains and east of the Ussuri River is called the Far Eastern Province, which is the provincial-level administrative division of the Northern Xinjiang region, and the provincial-level administrative divisions of the Western Xinjiang region are Anxi Province, Xiliao Province, Dawan Province, Kangju Province, and Yueshi Province, these five names can be found and recorded in the history of our country, Anxi Province is the Kazakh region, Dawan Province is the Uzbek region, and Kangju Province is the Tajik region. Xiliao Province is the Kyrgyz region, and Yueshi Province is the Turkmen region, do you have any different views on this division? ”

After listening to Xiao Zhenlei's comments on the names of Siberia and Central Asia and the division of administrative regions, everyone nodded one after another, this division is the best, not only taking into account the problems of population and nationality, but also taking into account the problem of area size, some provinces have small populations, so the area is larger, and some places have more populations, the area is less.

Siberia was divided into four provinces, the Kipchak province stretching from the Ural Mountains in the west to the Yenisei River in the east. It covers an area of about 3 million square kilometers. The West Siberian Plain is mostly the southeast, and the Altai, Salaire and Kuznetsk Mountains are located in the southeast. From north to south, it is tundra zone, forest tundra zone, forest zone, forest-steppe zone and steppe zone.

Mobei Province stretches from the Yenisei River Valley in the west, to the Lenana River Valley in the east, to the North Siberian Lowlands in the north, and to the Eastern Sayan Mountains in the south, covering an area of about 1.5 million square kilometers.

Modong Province stretches from the Lena River in the west to the Watershed Mountains and the Bering Strait on the Pacific coast in the east.

The area of the Far Eastern Province is much smaller than that of the other three provinces, but it has a relatively large population, a relatively developed economy, and is connected to the four eastern provinces and the Korean Peninsula, and faces the United States and Japan across the sea, and the shipping industry and marine resources are relatively developed and rich.
