Chapter 741: Change—All the time
As early as the beginning of Liu Xian's journey to North America, he passed a proposal in the cabinet to form a security army. Initial recruitment of 100,000 army, 10,000 navy or Japanese sailors. China will provide the corresponding machinery and a part of the food and goods as mercenary money, and the Chinese government will not have a direct economic relationship with the Japanese security forces, whose salaries and all expenses and expenses will be paid by the southwest military government.
In the private agreement, China will also open up some of the Nanyang market to 'feed' modern industry in southwest Japan. However, all the actions of the Japanese security forces in the process of maintaining law and order have nothing to do with the Chinese Government.
It's not completely unrelated, China admits that there is, but it's not the most direct relationship. If the security army becomes the Great Japanese Locust Army, the unfortunate people of Southeast Asia will resent the little devils.
Saigo Takamori and others are not fools, of course they can see that there are things that are wrong. But they agreed.
Because Japan has to go out because Japan is too small......
In the past two years, the pressure of the southwest military government has been relatively small, because the thick thighs they hugged were completely awesome. Even if the military government in the southwest now has only 70,000 regular troops on land and sea, the Japanese government in Tokyo does not dare to rashly raise troops to attack it. But if they want to develop, there is really no room for them to stretch their legs in the land of projectiles. Japan must go out!
Historically, Japan used war to carve out a space for itself, but naturally it can't do it in this era, so it can only follow China to pick up leftovers to eat. In the past ten years, the southwest military government has barely made a small profit, but the standing up team is just a standing team. It is completely different from the security forces, which are now under the direct control of the military junta.
The security army was in Nanyang, and the military government controlled the security army. It means that the military junta, under the supervision of the Chinese government, effectively controls a lot of land in Nanyang. There aren't too many opportunities to loot.
Even if this security army only has a 'life' of one or two years, it is enough for southwest Japan to eat and drink.
For this reason, bearing some innocuous charges, Saigo Takamori didn't care at all.
This 'security force' is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the vast number of veterans living in poverty. If we can take this opportunity to relocate some expatriates in Nanyang, it will greatly increase the ruling power and cohesion of the military junta.
China's attitude towards the southwestern military government is similarly friendly, and it can even be said to be more generous. As long as the Japanese immigrants are not excessive, they do not have a strong conflict with the Chinese immigrants, which is under the established facts. In all likelihood, the Chinese government will not take care of it.
This is a political, experienced, and military intertwined interest, and the junta has not rejected it at all.
Therefore, when the Chinese North American Expeditionary Force began to attack the Norfolk area, the first batch of 20,000 Japanese security forces also began to board ships and go to the South Seas. The transports were accompanied by a frigate consisting of five high-speed patrol boats and a gunboat, led by the Japanese admiral Heihachiro Togo, who had just been appointed commander of the First Surface Patrol of the Nanyang Security Force. His deputy, who is also the captain of the thousand-ton gunboat, is, of course, Togo Heihachiro's old friend Hitaka Strong.
"Yo Xi. The Great Japanese Navy finally has a day to break through the 30th parallel! "The strong man of the day looked at the surging tide of people on the port. Laughing happily. The 30th parallel is the northernmost latitude of the Ryukyu Islands, the 30° north latitude. Although the Ryukyu royal family had long lost control of the country, the Ryukyu royal family was favored by the new Qin royal family and the government and the opposition. The outstanding descendants of the Shang family have long been integrated into China. Now is to let them return to the one acre and three lands on Ryukyu Island again, I am afraid that the Shang family is unwilling.
The Shang family, who have swam on the 'sea' of China, do not look down on the small kiln nest of Ryukyu at all.
And for Japan, which is facing off against the North. The navy of the Japanese government in Tokyo could not cross the northernmost point of Hokkaido, and the navy of the Southwest military government could not cross the border of the Ryukyu Islands at all. These two lines, like the 38th Parallel in later generations, firmly imprisoned the talented and ambitious Japanese Navy to what it is today.
Rigao Zhuang is so excited today. It was because the Japanese Navy was finally able to cross the Ryukyus openly. Even though they were wearing a tiger skin called the Public Security Force, all the officers and sailors of the 1st Surface Patrol were full-fledged naval officers and sailors of Southwest Japan.
Heihachiro Togo's face also showed an excited smile. He had thoroughly realized the strength of the New Qin Empire and its overwhelming superiority over Japan, and all the delusions of his youth were swept away, and Heihachiro Togo, who was about to be fifty years old, succumbed to his ideals at the feet of reality. Therefore, at this time, Togo Heihachiro, whose thinking had changed, was not ashamed of the Japanese navy going out to the South Seas but wearing the skin given by the Chinese.
The group of Japanese Restoration heroes represented by him have integrated into reality under the repeated suppression of reality, and they have completely lost the 'threat' that Liu Xian was deeply afraid of back then! Although Liu Xian didn't know all this.
……
In the middle reaches of the Ural River, the gentle breeze blows through the land, and the temperature of about 25°C is blown by the breeze, so that the people here do not feel the scorching heat of summer at all.
The Qingluo River, one of the tributaries of the Ural River, was not called that name two years ago, but now it is natural that it has been sinicized.
On both sides of the strait are magnificent fruit groves of various colors, and Guo Huai, who had just gotten out of the carriage, sniffed the fresh air lightly and was slightly intoxicated.
Surrounded by a large area of gentle steppes, after half a year of gathering momentum - before this was the battlefield, whether it was a Kazakh or Cossack who lived here, it was all cleaned by the Wehrmacht - and the grass shoots turned the flat ground into a dazzling green carpet. In such a beautiful, but slightly monotonous landscape, there are occasionally some red brick houses hidden in the green grass and blue sky, a few horses in front of the house are leisurely eating weeds, a few Mongolian children with dirty faces are chasing a group of lambs and foals, and a chimney on the brick roof is slowly curling outward.
"When I looked at it, I thought I was in Mongolia......" Guo Huai muttered softly, and then carefully checked the ground under his feet. It can be seen that these lands are uncultivated virgin land, not very fertile, but not bad. At least, in the past few years, it was quite suitable to grow a kind of alfalfa and soybeans, which was enough to support a certain scale of animal husbandry.
Yes, Guo Huai came to Qingluojiang today to visit here. After several months of adaptation and in-depth occupation of the Ural River basin, the Wehrmacht found that the demarcation of some agricultural and animal husbandry areas in the Ural River basin was quite unreliable. The Russians must have had too much land, and a lot of land that could have been used for agriculture has been turned into pastures for cattle and horses.
This is a pretty standard example. A piece of land that could be used for mixed farming turned into a horse pasture in the hands of the Russians, so much so that the relocated Mongols were naturally given the land by the local government.
"The Kannai seems to be such a fertile soil, if you just need to clean it up carefully, it will be a ripe field that can be inherited in less than three years." Guo Huai is a local official county magistrate, bent down and grabbed a handful of soil, put it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and said with a sigh. The outside world is vast, and the outside world is wonderful! Huaxia has stood in the East for thousands of years, claiming to be the king and hegemon, but it is really a bit of a well and watching the sky.
With so much unused soil in the Ural River Basin, how vast should the Mississili River in Ukraine and North America be? If China could have looked up at the world hundreds of years earlier, the Zhu Ming Dynasty would not have collapsed and been picked up by a group of wild boar skins.
Not only one Zhu Ming, but even more so in the former Qing Dynasty. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the situation was decadent, and in addition to the external factors of the political situation, the country was also chaotic. The Taiping Rebellion sounded the death knell for the Qing Dynasty, and the reason why the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was able to make a storm was that in the final analysis, there were too many landless and unemployed ordinary people. If China had one more Ukraine, one more Central Asia, or even the Manchus could have officially opened up Northeast China, the situation would have been very different. And why should it be corrupted by a ridiculous worship of God?
Wen Pingyi, director of the county agriculture and livestock bureau who came out with Guo Huai, was very anxious to sigh at his boss. There is nothing more painful for a Chinese than to see a large area of land being 'ruined'.
Therefore, in these days, he followed Guo Huai to visit the localities, just to meet the requirements of the county and completely naturalize the agriculture and animal husbandry in the county.
Their county is located between the former Orsk and Uralsk, belonging to the middle reaches of the Ural River, with annual precipitation of less than 300~400 mm, which is a transition zone between forest-steppe and steppe. It is impossible to become a large agricultural county in such a climate, but simple animal husbandry is too much nonsense. If feasible, mixed agriculture with a combination of agriculture and livestock is the most promising.
In today's China, there are not many people who eat butter, and there are not many people who eat cheese for a long time. The sales of milk powder, toffee, milk biscuits, and sandwich biscuits are increasing day by day.
In addition, the wool textile industry has been developing rapidly, and the share of its products in the market is growing.
Nowadays, not only the Mongolians have begun to raise sheep and graze honestly, but many consortia and ordinary people in the interior have gone to the Mongolian steppe. They can't do the all-season nomadic herding like the Mongols, but they can carry out fixed-point farming and pasture farming. Green fodder technology has become completely widespread, allowing China's animal husbandry to make great strides. Greatly reduce the cost of farmers!
Before Guo Huai came to Zhao State, he was just the director of the finance bureau of a county, but now he has become a county parent official, and making achievements is what he desires and looks forward to the most. A county dominated by animal husbandry and a county dominated by mixed agriculture and livestock agriculture are two completely different concepts. The former can have a population of 100,000 thankfully, and the latter can easily have 200,000 or 300,000. In today's Zhao State, the size of the population in the jurisdiction of the jurisdiction of course positively reflects the status and importance of officials! (To be continued......)
