Chapter 353: Hokkaido
This is Lin Taixi, Wang Yi will break the truth and crumple it when he is petted, and then go home and understand it by himself.
"I always think that women can hold up half the sky!"
Lin Taixi didn't believe it at all, and glanced at him, no one would believe Wang Yi's crazy words in this era. Top half the sky? Women shouldn't go to heaven at all! Those who stand up to the sky and the earth, that's called a man!
"Believe it or not, let's put it aside for now, but I still have to explain Yan Xie's matter to you."
Lin Taixi nodded, she knew that Wang Yi was teaching her how to go back and answer her brothers and sisters in medical school.
"I sympathize with Yan Xie's sister This is true, in today's social conditions, this woman will be abandoned if she can't give birth to a son for herself and her family, which is really pitiful. However, to fundamentally solve her problem, that is, the social status and family status of women, this cannot be changed overnight. ”
"I understand this."
"Then let's talk about Yan Xie, his problem is not the same as his sister's! I gave him the ultrasound to use, so that he could use advanced instruments and equipment to provide better medical conditions for the people of our Northeast Autonomous Region. He let me down, though! Ultrasound is used to save people, not to kill people. If every sonographer is like him, for some reason, he does a sex test on a pregnant woman, so that the baby girl is aborted, then do you think about it, what will become of us in the Northeast in ten years? Twenty years from now, what will become of our Northeast Autonomous Region? ”
Tears fell on the back of Wang's hand, warm and wet, and Lin Taixi already understood what his man meant. The social status of women in the current era is indeed very problematic, but Wang Yi has been slowly advancing the reform, and of course this cannot be a reason for the abortion of the baby girl. Abortion of a baby girl does not improve a woman's social status in the slightest, but will cause a strict social problem of gender imbalance.
While Wang Yi and Lin Taixi were talking about ultrasound, Vasilyevich had already arrived in the port city of Hakodate in Hokkaido with the troops of a special operations regiment, and two other special operations regiments also arrived at the same time, but the destination of these two special operations regiments was not Hakodate, but Sapporo in the center and Hidaka in the east.
After this year's development, Hokkaido now has nearly 200,000 residents, and it is composed of three parts: the first part, which is also the main source of the population, is the immigrants transferred by Wang Yi from the impoverished areas of the interior of the Qing Dynasty. The second part is the indigenous people of Hokkaido, which later became known as the Ainu people, but because of the previous Japanese power, many Ainu people were killed. At the beginning of the 19th century, the Ainu population was more than 20,000, but when Hokkaido was occupied by Tohoku, the population inventory showed that only 16,000 Ainu remained. The last group is North Korean immigrants, mostly fishermen and laborers.
In the past two years, the Japanese right-wing represented by the Genyosha has often organized so-called commandos to forcibly land on the island and reclaim Hokkaido land, so the Tohoku Autonomous Region has also broken the previous agreement with Japan and began to station troops in Hokkaido. At the same time, Hokkaido's agriculture, industry and commerce began to be vigorously developed.
Now at the Hakodate pier to greet Vasilyevich is the governor of Hokkaido Province, named Andrew Meller, who is the first governor of the Tohoku Autonomous Region who is not a native of the Qing Dynasty. Originally from Germany, he came to Tohoku in 1880 and joined a large business group, but later changed his nationality and became a native of Tohoku. Although Hokkaido is not very important in the Tohoku region, Andrew's ascension to the governor of a province has sparked a fierce debate in Tohoku. In 1885, Wang Yili overrode public opinion and gave this German Northeasterner who had made great contributions to the Northeast Autonomous Region the right to be a feudal official, at least for now, this middle-aged man has done a good job.
"Welcome, General Vasily! God willing, you're finally here! "Andrew was kind and smiling. Although the two were not fellow countrymen, the common skin color still made Vasily feel a little cordial.
"Hello, Governor Mailer!"
"Just call me Andrew!"
The two walked side by side and had a good conversation.
"Mr. Korai already knew the specific situation of Hokkaido before he came. But if you don't mind, I'm going to say a few more words here. Andrew said with a smile.
"Of course!" Although Vasily had read a lot of information about Hokkaido, it was all on paper. "I can't ask for it!"
Andrew laughed, he liked the big Russian nose in front of him.
"Hokkaido...... You know, when Mr. destroyed the Franco-Japanese army, this place became ours. "Andrew's attitude of treating himself completely as a Northeasterner makes Vasily, a new Northeasterner, a little uncomfortable." Speaking of which, in order to ease tensions with Japan, I tried my best to deal with ......"
"Russia!"
"Yes, Russia! Therefore, he promised that Japan would not garrison troops in Hokkaido for the time being, and because there was no military protection, he would naturally not increase his investment in Hokkaido. However, with the rise of our navy in the past two years, the idea of the Japanese to attack Hokkaido again has become wishful thinking. So after I became governor, the National People's Congress agreed to our budget, and the Ministry of Finance also gave money. The railway from here to Sapporo opened earlier this year, and then we built mines, steel mills, shipyards, seafood processing plants, and more. ”
Hakodate now feels like a small county town to Vasily, and it can't be compared with the first-tier cities in the northeast. But in Andrew's eyes, the whole of Hokkaido seemed to be blooming with a magical light that made him feel proud and proud.
"I love it here!" Vasily said this somewhat without a conscience, but he felt a little happy to be able to get out of the brutal battlefield of East Russia, even in a poor country like Hokkaido.
The port of Hakodate is not full of ships from Tohoku, most of them are ships from the United States, and there are also a small number of European merchant ships.
"The ship here ......"
"They are all merchant ships, except for Japan, ships from other countries can call at Hokkaido ports if they are qualified, and most of them come to import our beer from Sapporo! In addition, steel, coal and agricultural products are also targeted for their imports. Andrew seems to be proud of Sapporo's beer, and when he says it, his spit flies.
Vasily looked at it and smiled, and felt in his heart that a person like Andrew, life is at ease with what happens, and it is quite interesting.
In terms of figure, Andrew was a little stronger than Vasily, and at this time he patted Vasily on the shoulder and laughed: "Go, go and meet the baby that Mr. gave me!" “
For Andrew's enthusiasm, Vasily still has a bit of a blissful meaning, when did the Germans become so enthusiastic? However, Vasily was indeed a little interested in what Andrew was talking about, so he walked out of the port with Andrew.
