Chapter 620
With Yan Shao's order, a series of policies were soon announced in the Outer Northeast.
And what do these policies bring to the Russians in the Northeast? Shock? No, rather, it smashes them out...
Why should those Russians resist the rule of the national government, because they feel that they are slaves of the country, and they are likely to be given this or that by the Chinese, as for the benefits? Sorry, they really didn't expect that.
Who would have thought that not long after, such a large number of policies would be announced.
Considering the lack of attention that Tsarist Russia paid to the whole of Siberia in the past, as well as its unilateral predatory economic policy, one can imagine how unbalanced these Russians must have been.
Although these Russians did not really believe the words of the Nationalist government so far, at least in their hearts, they were no longer as resistant as they used to be, and when they looked at the government officials or soldiers in the street, there was less disgust in their eyes...
There's no way, who called it in the past, in Russia, these areas, including the Outer Northeast, seem to be raised by the stepmother, and it can almost be said that there is no benefit.
Now that there are so many benefits all of a sudden, it's impossible to say that they don't have some feelings in their hearts...
Of course, these policies were not likely to reduce the resistance movement in the Outer Northeast to a minimum, but it was somewhat reduced, and at least many of the resistance elements took a wait-and-see measure to see if the Nationalist government really intended to live up to its promises...
For the Russians, the concept of the state or nation does not have as much influence on the Chinese as it does. This has also brought many benefits to Yan Shao, at least they will not die without bowing their heads.
As for those diehards who still adopt a policy of resistance, Yan Shao does not intend to break his promises...
In the days since the policy was announced. The Wehrmacht began to carry out large-scale operations, and almost all villages where resistance elements were present were destroyed, and the entire villages were transported by train and ship to the north of Sakhalin.
There, a large number of IDF soldiers have built improvised houses, which may seem simple but are still safe to live in. And keep warm.
They were also left with some food to make sure they didn't starve to death.
But food is not infinite, otherwise it would be a waste of people. So after moving them to Sakhalin, the officials of the Nationalist government have made it very clear that they will only be provided with food for one year, for the time of the year. They have to find a way to make a living.
For example, fishing, or logging. Or farming, etc., in short, as long as you can make money...
Of course, you can also be a lazy person, as long as you are not afraid of starving to death after a year...
When someone asked, aren't you afraid that when we were fishing, we ran away directly on a fishing boat or something, the person in charge of reading it said with a faint smile.
"Of course you can run. But we also see it as a form of resistance, so ......... After this kind of thing happened. The villages to which the people on the fishing boats belong will be relocated to Iraq in their entirety..."At this point, the official who read it out looked at the Russians standing in front of him, and then said lightly. "I'm sure you've already known where Iraq is these days, yes, the Middle East, it's a very barren place, there's nothing but sand, and I personally don't recommend you to go there, because it's not as good as here, and it's ......... It's a bit too hot there, too..."
Hearing the official say this, the Russians standing in front of him, though furious, could not say anything.
ββββββββββββββββββββ
After the law was announced, perhaps because they wanted to give the national government some color, the resistance attacks were much more intense than usual.
And Yan Shao did not hesitate, so he asked people to move all the villages away, before and after, all of them added up to about thirteen villages, almost more than 500 people...
More than 500 people were taken away at once, and this behavior immediately caused a panic in the outer northeast region. On the one hand, it was because the government of the state government 'talked counted', and on the other hand, it was because some people were maliciously spreading rumors that those people were not relocated to Sakhalin, but were all taken away and killed...
At present, the government of the Kuomintang has little credibility in the Outer Northeast, so these rumors can be said to be very popular in the Outer Northeast.
However, the solution of the Kuomintang-Social Government was very simple, just to take out the living photos of the Russians who had been relocated to the Outer Northeast, and then publicize them in various villages and towns in the Outer Northeast.
When they saw the people in the photo, the panicked Russians suddenly became much quieter.
Although the guys in the photo seem to look very bad, all of them are wolves, and the house behind them is shabby, but they are indeed not dead, which is enough to dispel the rumors.
Of course, this also proves that anyone who supports the resistance will be sent to Sakhalin to 'suffer'...
For many people, it doesn't matter if they don't want to die, there are still people who are not afraid of death in these years, but for many people, it is very fatal to implicate their own families, and let their families suffer with them......... This is definitely something that many people are reluctant to do...
Therefore, after this was confirmed, the resistance of the Outer Northeast weakened a lot in an instant.
Even if many resisters want to continue resisting, they have to worry about the safety of their families. Even if there are some die-hards, or there are no family members so they have no scruples, they are tied up by the whole village, and then sent directly to the nearby Wehrmacht stationββββββ it doesn't matter if you want to die, don't drag down our whole village."
This is definitely the true heart of most Russians in Northeast China.
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Under Yan Shao's 'exile' policy, although there are still sporadic attacks in the Outer Northeast, the number is very small. Basically, it no longer affects the big picture. Even such sporadic attacks are gradually decreasing.
For this series of events that occurred in the Outer Northeast, foreign media naturally reported one after another.
Many newspapers believed that the national government was a solution. It was a creative solution that solved the problem of local resistance without killing innocents in the colonies like other powers, which in turn created more resistance...
Britain, France, and other countries even began to consider whether to learn about such a method after learning about it. After all, for these countries with many colonies, the proliferation of local resistance has always been a headache. And no matter how troublesome it is to move a village, the cost is relatively small...
All in all, the solution of the national government in the Outer Northeast. It is still appreciated by many people, even in the country. At the same time, with the arrival of Yushi Bank and Bank of China, many Russians from the Outer Northeast also took the initiative to come to the door. Seek a loan.
These Russians are still very practical. As long as there are benefits.
The Outer Northeast was originally a resource-rich area, but it has not been reasonably developed, which has made many people lament, and now that there is an opportunity, it is natural to take advantage of it.
Of course, there are many people who are secretly laughing at the stupidity of the Chinese, because in the eyes of these people, the Chinese are simply taking advantage of the civil unrest in Russia to occupy the Outer Northeast. As long as the problem of civil strife in Russia has been resolved. Where did they come from, they still have to obediently go back to where they are.
Wait until the Chinese go back to China. These industries built with loans naturally belong to them...
As a result, the economy of the Outer Northeast has become booming, and fishing companies, or logging companies or mining companies have been established, and these are precisely the needs of the country.
Of course, such a big business opportunity cannot all be ceded to the Russians, after all, now that the Outer Northeast is already Chinese, Yan Shao will not discriminate against his own people for the sake of some newly joined 'ethnic minorities', and put the Russians above the Chinese in order to please the Russians as later generations did.
After all, Yan Shao regained the lost territory, not to find some grandfathers to come back.
So soon, a large number of Chinese capitalists poured into the Outer Northeast, including the Yushi Group, of course.
But...
Fair play, fair play.
Anyway, the Northeast is very large, and there are enough business opportunities.
On the other hand, Yan Shao also sent some people to explore resources in the outer northeast region, including Sakhalin Island. But this is just a convention, in fact, he doesn't care much, because outside his memory, although the resources in the Northeast are rich, but Sakhalin, it seems that only fishery and forestry resources are richββββββ poor Yan Shao, he doesn't know that Sakhalin has oil resources in addition to these two...
However, it is not surprising that, after all, when it comes to oil in later generations, the first impression is either the Middle East or the South China Sea.
In the Middle East, except for one Iran, the rest has basically been obtained, even if it is Iran, Yan Shao is also trying to find a way to plotββββββ since Iran will definitely not be able to become his own territory like Iraq and other places in a short period of time, then simply let his own company go there to make some money...
As for the South China Sea...
Of course, Yan Shao will not forget the disputes in the South China Sea in later generations, so just before, Yan Shao had sent the navy's fleet to the South China Sea and established a garrison on that series of islands. Although there were no reclamation projects like later generations, they did establish China's rule over the region.
In this regard, Britain and France and other countries did not care at all, after all, they were just some islands.
In fact, long before the Xinhai Revolution, the Qing government had already done this, in 1909, Zhang Renjun, the governor of Liangguang, ordered Li Zhun to mobilize Fubo, Chenhang two warships, Li Zhun took the Fubo ship, the Fubo ship with Wu Jingrong, the Chenhang ship with Liu Yikuan, Lin Guoxiang, the master of navigation, all under his command, accompanied by the counselor Wang Rentang, accompanied by Guangdong alternate Li Zhejun, Guangdong supplementary prefect Ding Naicheng, Pei Zuze, Wang Shuwu, Li Tian, Shao Shuyao, Liu Yong, Hao Jiye, Chen Jinqing, Yuan Wuan, Zhao Huahan, Zheng Jilian, Zhang Ruitu, Liu Qitang, Pan Zhenfan, Liang Chaoyi, Guo Chaosheng, Chen Shiping. Hong Kong businessmen Wei Xuezhai, Li Huilin, Su Huiquan, Navy surveying and mapping students, committee members surveying and mapping, etc. It lasted one month and carried out an in-depth survey of the archipelago.
Everywhere they went, they named stones, fired cannons and raised flags, reaffirming China's sovereignty. During this inspection, the surveying and mapping committee members and students of the Naval Surveying and Mapping School who accompanied the ship drew a general map of Xisha Island and the Xisha Group
Sub-map of the island. and named the Paracel Islands. The naming of the islands this time is based on the place of origin of the warship, the property, and the people who traveled with them.
At that time, this incident caused great repercussions in the world, which was also the biggest contribution in Zhang Renjun's history.
There is an island in the Nansha Islands, which is named "Renjun Beach". This refers to Zhang Renjun.
It's just that Zhang Renjun's was not very standardized at that time, but Yan Shao directly publicized it to all countries in the world this time and was recognized by the great powers.
Even though......... Even if China loses some money in the future, and countries like Vietnam become white-eyed wolves again, with these recognitions, at least those losers can swear that the South China Sea belongs to China, and that the South China Sea is based on its oil and gas resources. More or less, it can give China a life, at least some capital to make a comebackββββββ if it really comes to that point, can Iraq keep it? Yan Shao really can't guarantee it, so let's think about it...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
It is precisely because the names of the Middle East and the South China Sea are too big that Yan Shao was not very clear about the fact that there was oil on Sakhalin until the exploration team discovered oil on Sakhalin Island later. He suddenly understood.
Leave that to the moment. In fact, after the problem in the Outer Northeast was resolved, Yan Shao faced some new problems, that is, there were also resistance movements in Iraq, Kuwait and other places, and they did not miss the rule of the Ottoman Turks, but only wanted independence.
However, Yan Shao wasted so much effort, isn't it just for a place like the Middle East, and it is basically impossible for them to become independent. So I had to find a way to solve it, and this time it was solved. Obviously, it's much easier, after all, there is already experience.
That is to get them all to Sakhalin or to the Outer Northeast. It just so happened that the vacant place of residence could be reserved for the Russians who had made a second mistake on Sakhalin and were finally sent to Iraq.
And for the fate of these people, the European and American powers did not pay much attention.
After all, there are still many things to focus on, and they can't always focus all their attention on these people...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Just when the Outer Northeast gradually became more stable, the Nationalist government also announced a very important decision, that is, to change the current Chinese naval formation.
From the original North and South Fleets, it was changed due to regional issues.
Today's main fleet has been integrated into the Ocean Fleet, which is mainly responsible for operations in the Pacific region, in addition to China's coastal areas, such as the North Sea, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea.
In addition, a number of ships were transferred to form the Indian Ocean Fleet, which was mainly responsible for security issues in the Iraqi region...
Among them, the Ocean Fleet is the main fleet, and the capital ships are naturally the most numerous, after all, the threat it has to face in the Far East is much greater than that of the Indian Ocean Fleet, not to mention anything else, Japan alone is enough to give the Navy a headache, and now is not a good time to divide troops to the Indian Ocean.
Therefore, the configuration of the Indian Ocean Fleet is a little shabby, and basically the ships in it are obtained by some means of capture, such as some old Russian ships in Vladivostok, as well as Russian and Austro-Hungarian ships obtained from the Qingdao fortress, and some old ships equipped by China in the past.
Of course, there are also the flagships of the Indian Ocean Fleet captured in Longkou Bay, in fact, some former dreadnoughts salvaged in Longkou Bay.
Although the combat effectiveness of these battleships is good, but that was twenty years ago, and now, their combat effectiveness has lagged behind the times, and it is simply useless, even if it stays in the Ocean Fleet, its power system alone can no longer keep up with the main fleet to fight.
In this case, instead of leaving them in the main fleet to cause chaos, it is better to send them directly to the Indian Ocean.
Anyway, the Indian Ocean side is very safe, and apart from the United Kingdom, there is basically no existence that can threaten the Indian Ocean fleet.
And the possibility of a war between China and Britain in a short period of time is also very small.
After all, Yan Shao's most important strategy at present is the strategy of going north and west, and unless there is something wrong in this case, it is impossible to provoke the Britishββββββ at least wait for these two strategies to come to an end.
Britain, on the other hand, has already paid a huge price for this war, and the price is far greater than people imagine, and at this time Britain is most worried that China will launch an attack on its colonies on the South Asian continent, of course, as well as Burma and Siberia, in this case, it will naturally not take the initiative to provoke China with a hot head.
Otherwise, if China sent troops south, the British would not have the confidence to compete with China in the Far East from such a distance...
With the reorganization of the Navy, Sa Zhenbing continued to serve as Minister of the Navy, and the ships needed for the Indian Ocean Fleet were also distributed...
In addition, the army also intends to divide the fleet according to demand, but these will have to wait until the westward expansion strategy is successful, after all, the army will have a big change at that time, and it will be divided now, and it will be troublesome in the future.
However, the pre-setting was still carried out, at least, the current division of one province and one main division can no longer meet the needs of the national government...
On the other hand, as time passed, the negotiations between the Russians and the Germans seemed to be coming to an end, although the Russians had been looking for Luo Wenying in St. Petersburg for some time recently, but with some accumulated in the past, Luo Wenying was well hidden, and according to those informants, he got a lot of information and sent it back to China...
