Outside the city of Kulen, at this time a large group of White Russians were lining up. On the edge of a wooden sign not far away, the words Kulun Immigration Office of the Republic of China are written in Chinese, Mongolian, and Russian. However, a few of the registry offices turned out to be Russians.

"Hey, Cooker, why are you here? Did you get a good job to do in Cullen? Michnev, who was in line, greeted a Russian man with a very clean beard on the side of the table.

"Yes, it's not bad, I think you'll have to call me by my Chinese name the next time we meet." Come on, this is a contract, a goodwill contract from the Republic of China. The Russian, known as Kukl, took out a piece of paper written in both Russian and Chinese.

"What? Have you joined the citizenship of the Republic of China? Michnev was taken aback.

"Yes, I am the first Russian to join the Republic of China nationality in Kulun, because I know Chinese and Russian, I was the first to be assigned a job, maybe not rich, but in this damn troubled world, I finally found an errand that can keep my family alive, come on, do you want to join the Republic of China or do you want a temporary pass, do you want to apply for a relief?"

"Applying for relief? What do you mean? Michnev asked.

"The Republic of China is very friendly to us Russians, and for Russians who have lost their homes in the war and do not have enough food to survive, they can apply to the Republic of China for relief food, of course, this grain has to be returned. You can then find a job to do, or participate in the reclamation program organized by the official organization of the Republic of China, lease land, and borrow food. Use your harvest to pay it back later. "Don't you read the notices posted on the walls?" Oh, I almost forgot, you can't read. ”

"What. Is there such a good thing? Are these people of the Republic of China so generous? Michnev asked incredulously.

"Mitchnev, please put away your doubts, the Republic of China is friendly to us Russians, this country can provide us with the food we need to survive, as well as the protection of the army. Many Russians have benefited from this, much better than the brutal Seminov before. Of course. If you want to cheat and cheat, and lazily think that you can survive with handouts, then what awaits you is likely to be hard labor and imprisonment, and the Russians will not help you anymore. Cooker reminded.

"Do you think it's better to join the Republic of China nationality or apply for a temporary pass?" Michnev asked with interest.

"Of course, I became a citizen of the Republic of China, and I don't want to go back to that place in the north. I know Russian and Chinese, and I do some carpentry work, even if I go to the rich city of Mukden in the southeast. You can also find a very good job. Joining the nationality of the Republic of China can be given priority to be assigned work, the nearest is to build a railway nearly 700 miles south of Kulun, or go to the Baganor coal mine to mine coal, although this ghost place in Mongolia is better than the north, but it is also very cold, with your physique, I believe that there should be no problem in feeding the few people in your family. However, it is worth mentioning that workers with the nationality of the Republic of China. The wage will be correspondingly higher, you can consider this yourself. ”

Cook said with a smile. In addition to doing some registration work, the city of Kulen was destroyed by the war, and in his spare time, he would also do some carpentry work to help rebuild, and earn some extra extra money to support his family, which was much more lucrative than the previous farming in Irkutsk. For the eldest son, who was not very fond of reading, Kukel also planned to let him inherit his craft. Or they saved enough tuition fees and sent them to the technical school in Fengtian City for further study. I heard the Russians say that if you are proficient in a skill, you can live a much richer life in the Republic of China than Tsarist Russia. Vodka. Delicious bread, potatoes, refined salt, etc. Even many intellectuals who escaped from Russia and Europe, such as mechanics who can repair small steamers and know how to maintain train locomotives, are very good.

"They have died in the war." Michnev said with a somewhat gloomy face when he heard this.

"Yes, it's really unfortunate, work hard to live, the days ahead are long." Cook was reassured.

"I think that when we couldn't eat, we had to go out to live at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and it was not as good as the luck of these Russians to encounter such a good policy of the Republic of China." On the city wall of Kulun, Zhang Zhenfang looked at the Russians who were bustling in line outside and said mockingly.

"Yes, when Lao Maozi called us in the past, he didn't kill us Han people, but I didn't expect that now when our army becomes stronger, we will come over and paste grain to feed these Russians. If I want to say that it would be good not to teach these Russians a lesson, why should I pay money and food to raise these white-eyed wolves? One soldier was not convinced.

"Wenzhi armed attack, you naturally don't understand the mastery of the central government's hand, what can you do if you kill these Russians, it's just a quick moment to export evil anger, but it is not beneficial to the future strategy of the Republic of China to recover the Far East. Do you think, how many Russians have entered the Northeast over the years? Even now, there are hundreds of thousands of refugees, plus the rich and nobles who originally settled, I'm afraid there are no less than a million, should they all be killed? "Chen Yijiu has been in Outer Mongolia for a long time, and he has a set of diplomatic skills, and he does not approve of purely military means, although he can subdue people for a while with high-pressure policies, but he cannot solve the fundamental problem.

"Even so, we can't give our food to Lao Maozi to eat." An officer next to him still grumbled.

"You kid, the central government is good to the Russians, but hasn't the treatment of you soldiers improved? More than 600,000 square kilometers of land have been confiscated back in the Outer Khing'an Mountains alone, and the central authorities are not interested in this grain, but on the land outside the Guan, and if they really force the Russians to the opposite side. How many more people will have to die in the future before the land can be recovered? Use your brain in everything. ”

I didn't think it before, but now that I compare it, I still think that Li Yinpei's division of the Northeast Army has the best obedience, the military appearance is good, the words are relatively few, and the battle is not ambiguous, more like a soldier. The Jin army is not bad, as for the Hubei army. The Anhui army is a little less disciplined, and if it weren't for the fact that there is a division of the Northeast Army pressing on this side, I am afraid that it will not be an easy task to get these big soldiers to obey orders.

As for the reasons for adopting a policy of softness towards these Russians, it is not clear to these big soldiers for a while, since Tsarist Russia entered the European war, due to domestic difficulties. Some Russians began to enter the northeast, where the situation in the Republic of China was relatively stable, and the revolution broke out in Tsarist Russia, causing some wealthy people and nobles to flee their countries for refuge. Under the intentional traction of the Northeast, a large number of wealthy people and technical employees have been absorbed. The civil war in Russia soon spread throughout the country, and the third wave of immigrants were the rich and noble. There is also a mix of large numbers of refugees.

At this time, the Russians played a pivotal role in the economy and industry of the Northeast, and the vast and sparsely populated Northeast had a considerable shortage of labor. The annual import of refugees from Kannai is still not enough to meet the needs, and another reason is to use the policy of softness to show goodwill to the Russians in order to alleviate the resistance to reconquest in the future. Hatred is only temporary, but the explasy land is a treasure that can be passed on from generation to generation.

At least for now, most of the Russian refugees who poured in from Kulen's side were grateful to the Republic of China.

"Hello, Honorable Grand Duke Maria, welcome to Beijing, I think you will love this place." For the purpose of receiving foreign guests. Qin Yu specially chose a place with excellent feng shui in Nanyuan in Beijing to build a house with pastoral characteristics and the nature of a farm, covering a wide area. The new hall is heated and very different from the cold outside. I don't know if history has gone on a fork in the road, but Nicholas II, the children of the last tsar who was originally killed by the Red Russian soldiers, survived two, and one of them even came to Beijing.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your hospitality, and thank you for your kindness to the Belarusian civilians." Under the influence of other Russian aristocrats, Maria did not know that the person in front of her was the most powerful person in the Republic of China.

"I've always been friendly to Russians. It is hoped that Belarus can take root in our country and find its own life and home. I can guarantee that as long as Russians are law-abiding in our country, they will not be discriminated against. Qin Yu reassured with a smile, and then turned to Siskoki next to him and said. In addition, I also believe in the wisdom of the Russians, and I hope that the aircraft you create will have a place in the Republic of China in the future. ”

Qin Yu has a certain understanding of the history of helicopters in his previous life, and the Siskoki in front of him is the world's first design master who designed a practical helicopter. At this time, most people did not know what a helicopter was, but all aviation people were familiar with the famous Ilya Muromeitz, the world's first public heavy bomber.

And Tsarist Russia, and even the current Red Russia, is the main bomber Ilya Muromets, it is from the hand of Siskoki, the aircraft designer who was supposed to go to the United States in history chose to stay in the Republic of China temporarily because of the large number of White Russians stranded in the Republic of China. Because of his position in the history of Tsarist Russian aviation, Qin Yu received him exceptionally.

Although at this time, the Republic of China already had more heavy bombers than Ilya Muromets, but with the help of the name of Siskoki, telling those Russian scientific research workers who are still in the Republic of China can undoubtedly reassure the hearts of these people. Lao Maozi's mind is not simple, otherwise he would not have become a pole of the century, and the United States has been in a cold war for decades.

"I wonder if Mr. Siskoki's aircraft manufacturing company needs funding? If so, I think there will be a lot of people willing to invest. ”

"Thank you for your kindness, my company already has enough funds." Siskoki smiled apologetically and refused directly.

"Okay." Qin Yu shrugged his shoulders, it seems that this intellectual is still a little arrogant in his heart, but it doesn't matter, as long as his company is in the Republic of China, it will drive the employment rate of the Republic of China, and the planes manufactured are also made in the Republic of China, so there is no need to care so much.

"Dashuai, the preliminary statistics of the industries invested by Russians in China have been calculated." After meeting with Maria and Siskoki, Ding Cheng took a document and walked over.

"Belarus invests mainly in Mukden, Changchun, Tianjin, and Beijing. There are 103 hotels, 21 dance halls, 17 hotels, 3 vodka distilleries and 4 leather goods factories. There are 2 aircraft factories, 3 oil mills, 1 luxury trading company, 1 sugar factory, 1 automobile factory, and a casino in Shanghai. The above total is more than 57.06 million yuan. However, the White Russians bought a lot of land in Tianjin, Mukden, and Beijing. The preliminary estimate is that the value of these plots is at least 53 million yuan, but compared to Belarus's bank deposits, the two together are only the tip of the iceberg. ”

"Tsarist Russia has been established for hundreds of years, and the background is still there, the poor below are dead, and the rich above are dead. It is necessary to appropriately strengthen guidance and let these White Russian money be deposited in the banks of the Republic of China as much as possible. Qin Yu shrugged. The essence of Tsarist Russia has been absorbed by those nobles, but many of these people do not know how to learn, and they don't know what to invest in when they come to the Republic of China. Most of these classes dominated by the aristocracy were mainly eating, drinking, and merrymaking. However, these people usually have a very good spending power, and there is no harm in that. The only thing that is a little regrettable is that Belarus is still skeptical about the financial policy and economic situation of the Republic of China at this time, so most of this money has been deposited in foreign banks such as HSBC and Citigroup.

"Good news!"

"What's the good news?" Qin Yu glanced at Wang Yuhai, who walked in, and said.

"The telegram sent by Gu Weijun, the consul in Germany, is only from last month. There was a territorial conflict between Poland and Red Russia in Ukraine. Wang Yuhai said with a happy face.

"Oh? Last month? Wasn't that before the Republic of China affirmed that it wanted to regain its lost territory? What is the situation in Western Europe? Qin Yu suddenly came to his senses, as the saying goes, three stinkers. Kill Zhuge Liang, although he made up his mind to recover the land occupied by Tsarist Russia in the former Qing Dynasty, but Red Russia is a behemoth after all, and once Red Russia's physique is activated, it is also very terrifying.

"This needs to contact Gu Weijun again, Gu Weijun also heard that there were signs of a dispute with Red Russia in China, so he sent this telegram." Wang Yuhai said.

"Very good. Let Gu Weijun go to Poland and talk to Poland, damn it, Red Russia is stronger, and the east and west are fighting on both sides. I think the Red Russia can hold it. Qin Yu was in a good mood, this was the best news he had heard in this time.

"Someone, send General Alenkov to Dihua to recuperate." At this time, Zhang Jian's face was full of smiles, and his respect for Yang Zengxin in his heart was like a surging river, and there were more than 40,000 people in Alenkov's army, of which more than 17,000 troops could go directly to the battlefield, but Yang Zengxin used diplomatic means to directly confiscate these Russian weapons. The soldiers are bloodless, and such deeds are probably unique for the entire Republic of China.

Alenkov didn't say a word, at this time his intestines were about to repent, he knew that when these cunning Republic of China people showed off their might on the border, the cannons were all made of black lacquered wood, and those rifles were things that hunters disdained to use, and the Republic of China army in Tacheng was only a few thousand people, and he could defeat these Republic of China troops in a few charges. But he chose to surrender to the Republic of China army, if it was known by other White Guard generals, I am afraid it would be a great shame, but now the weapons of the troops have been confiscated, although the Russians are still outnumbered, but in the face of the Xinjiang defenders who have changed their clothes and are fully armed, his unarmed troops are helpless.

"General Alenkov, please!" Zhang Jian made a gesture of please.

Alenkov sighed, and had no choice but to get on the horse, and now he had to be a host.

"Alenkov is in the cage, and there is a Bachiqi, don't be too happy, this Bachiqi may not be as obedient as Alenkov, the border is under martial law, and the Russians can't let us know our reality through Bachiqi." After learning that nearly 20,000 Russians had been confiscated and a large number of weapons they carried, Yang Zengxin said in a good mood, "It is rare for the central government to send an army over, let's try to handle the matter at hand well while we are still in power, and we will not leave gossip to the people in the central government." ”

"The marshal has worked hard to supervise Xinjiang over the years, he has not taken a penny from the central government, he has maintained the stability of Xinjiang for more than ten years, and he has not signed any agreements with the foreign powers to lose power and humiliate the country, what happened to the Central Army, if I gossip, I Zhang Jian will be the first to disagree." Zhang Jian patted the table and said.

"Brother Xingjun is right, but the central government can react so quickly this time, which also shows that it is indeed different from before, the Shaanxi army has passed the Jiayu Pass, and even if Ba Chiqi comes, we will have confidence." Yang Feixia breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, no matter what, the Central Army is also a dependent. (To be continued......)
