"Is this China?" exclaimed a slightly older North Korean standing on the deck and looking at the bustling port in the distance.

Although he had also heard rumors from some newspapers and even some Western missionaries about how powerful China, the former 'suzerain', was now. However, when he actually witnessed this qiē with his own eyes, he still had a feeling of disbelief.

After all, for a man of his age, more than 20 years ago, China had to give up Korea because of its defeat in the war, and even almost gave up the entire Liaodong. And in these years, the Japanese have not been less propaganda to them that China has weakened, and now Japan is the strongest country on the East Asian continent.

It is precisely because of this that North Koreans have gradually begun to give up hope for independence.

After all, it is very difficult for them to be independent from the control of the Japanese on their own. Until the outbreak of World War I, China first sent an expeditionary force to Europe to participate in the war, and then at the end of the war, it seized almost two-thirds of the territory from the Russians in one fell swoop...

Still, there is only a slight hint of hope.

After all, it's been too far away...

It is known that this time Japan launched a surprise attack on Dandong and finally detonated a full-scale armed conflict between the two countries on the Korean Peninsula―――――― the reason why it is said to be an armed conflict is because neither country has declared war on each other until the fall of Seoul.

Of course, this is also a need for politics. After all, China and Japan were both members of the Entente, and the members of the two Entente suddenly declared war on each other. Even now the mission of the Entente has come to an end. It's still not something to be proclaimed.

Still, the ensuing Chinese offensive on the Korean Peninsula gave many Koreans hope that they would finally be able to free themselves from the Japanese foot.

This is also one of the reasons why so many North Koreans chose to be the 'Belt and Road Party' at that time.

Naturally, they wouldn't have thought of it at the time, but anyway...

"You have finally broken free from Japanese rule. Isn't it..."Walking to the edge of the deck and holding on to the railing with his hand, one with a slightly bronzed skin. Although he was not very tall, the young man who looked very energetic smiled at the North Koreans in a decent Korean language.

The IDF military operation in Korea lasted almost a year, and many of the soldiers did not know the Korean language for such a long time. But there are also soldiers in contact with the North Koreans. I learned a little bit more. Although it is not proficient. But there is no problem with ordinary daily communication.

Obviously, this soldier is such a person.

And hearing his words, a smile appeared on the faces of several other North Koreans beside the railing.

True, whatever the outcome, at least they have broken away from the Japanese, and then they just need to work hard to live under the Chinese...

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Dalian, the first stop for these North Korean refugees when they arrived in China, is also the largest and most prosperous city in Northeast China.

It's not surprising to arrive. In this era of developed navigation technology, coastal cities. In particular, coastal cities with superior geographical conditions have great advantages. Especially in these years, the government of the State Council has spared no effort to support the construction of Dalian, which has made Dalian greatly developed and has become one of the most important cities in China.

In the city, modern trams and street lamps can be found everywhere, simple high-rise buildings are everywhere, and clean streets are also available, as well as leisure facilities and greenery measures for the use of citizens can be seen from time to time.

If it weren't for the fact that the content of science and technology was slightly worse, and the pedestrians on the road were dressed more dirty, even if it was a city of Yan Shao's time, I'm afraid no one would doubt it.

Although the northern Chinese city can be colder in winter, the summer months are less unbearable and more habitable―――――― if you don't count the humid air.

At least before he crossed over, Yan Shao had been to Dalian once.

Well, a very good city, if the air is not so humid, for example, even the sheets are 0-0 damp

In any case, looking at this relatively familiar city, the officers and soldiers on the deck immediately cheered. After all, for these soldiers who have been fighting abroad for a year, there is nothing more joyful than returning to their own homes.

Even the young soldier who had just spoken to the refugees in Korean couldn't help but cheer at this time.

In a short time, the transport ships began to dock at the pier. When the ship's board landed on the dock, a large number of soldiers 'wrapped' the people who had come from North Korea with them, and set foot on Chinese soil together...

"Is this China?"

Looking at the bustling city in front of them, almost all the North Koreans who got off the transport ship looked incredulous.

However, they had just been taken off the ship by the soldiers when they saw a group of officers approaching under the guidance of several officers.

The person at the head looks like he is in his 40s, his skin is a little yellow, and even some of him looks like a person from Southeast Asia, he is relatively tall, and he looks like he is about 178. Such a height is naturally only a relatively standard height in later generations, but it is already very high in this era.

At the same time, perhaps because of his personality or some other reason, this man's expression was a little gloomy, which made the soldiers who saw him a little unhappy. It's not surprising to arrive, after all, soldiers don't like that kind of person with a gloomy personality very much.

As for those North Koreans. When he looked at this person who felt very difficult to get along with, there was a slight trace of fear on his face. After all, they were brought on board this time, after all, without any official permission. In a way, it's smuggling.

No one knows what Chinese will do to them in the end, and it would be nice to say if it was as rumored, but if it was another way―――――― not even another way, just sending them back to North Korea from here would have left them dead.

After all, the Japanese who hate them so much will never let them go...

When the time comes, don't say it's dead, I'm afraid it's better to live than to die...

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Even though the middle-aged man looked quite difficult to get along with. But there was no embarrassment for these refugees, just looked up and down, and nodded. Then he said to an officer who followed him. "Okay, just hand it over to me next, and we'll take care of the rest..."

Hearing the middle-aged man say this, one of the officers at the head nodded. Didn't say anything more.

Although it can be regarded as getting along all the way. But after all, they are not responsible for such soldiers.

At the same time, after confirming, the middle-aged man walked directly in front of everyone, looked up and down, and then said to these North Koreans. "Then you can follow me, and my government will take care of your food and daily life in China, but first of all, you need to understand that this government will only take care of you for a year. By the second year, you'll need to work to support yourselves. Our government can't keep you forever! ”

Hearing what the middle-aged man said, the North Koreans on the other side nodded stunned.

Because the middle-aged man spoke all in Korean, they all understood it.

It's just that just as the middle-aged man was about to turn around and leave, a few younger North Koreans asked. "Well, excuse me, my lord, how do we get a job..."

"Yes, if we are not familiar with life, let us find a job to support ourselves and our families, which is inevitable..."

"Don't worry, since the government has allowed you to enter the country, there will naturally be proper arrangements, and you will definitely not starve to death in China..."

Is it properly arranged...

Yan Shao's attitude towards this group of North Koreans is to turn a blind eye. Although Yan Shao has always hated North Koreans in later generations, in this era, it is still okay to feel something, at least it can be tolerated.

Therefore, it is not very difficult for Yan Shao to turn a blind eye or something.

More importantly, in Yan Shao's plan, North Korea can be regarded as a united force. After all, among the countries of color that have developed relatively well in later generations, South Korea is also a very good one. Although it is not as good as China and Japan, it is absolutely no problem to be included in the third place among the yellow people...

As for the method of resettlement, it is also very simple, that is, let them go to the outer northeast or Siberia to reclaim the land. Anyway, there is a lot of land there, so they can have some land there according to the standards of the Chinese people.

Anyway, at this time in China, the number of North Koreans is already relatively large, and it is not inferior to them.

Naturally, there is one thing to be worried about, and that is that if you put them in the Outer Northeast or Siberia, it will be a little troublesome if these Koreans come to have something 'since ancient times' later.

After all, in Yan Shao's time, the reputation of the Korean creator god was like thunder.

But Yan Shaozhi didn't care much about this, because if the North Koreans really dared to give him something 'since ancient times', then Yan Shao would dare to give North Korea 'since ancient times'...

――――――――――――――――――――――――

In any case, in the end, the Koreans were properly resettled―――――― and the Guò train was taken to the Outer Northeast and Siberia.

There are probably thousands of people before and after, dragging their families with their mouths, which makes many people feel a little sympathetic.

In January 1920, with the departure of the last transport ship from Korea, the Kuosha government finally withdrew the last troops stranded in Korea.

With the withdrawal of the Wehrmacht, the Japanese were left with a devastated Korea.

In the midst of nearly a year-long war. The entire Korean Peninsula is almost to be destroyed. Countless farmlands, factories and mines were destroyed, allowing the Japanese government to reclaim Korea, albeit after a very harsh treaty. But what was recovered was a mess.

I don't know how long it will take to get back to the original level.

Decade? Twenty years? No one knows...

Because after two successive defeats in the Shandong Campaign and the Korean War, Japan's national strength has been greatly reduced to what it used to be, and I am afraid that even the Japanese themselves are not very clear about how much resources can be drawn to fill the body of Korea.

In addition to these, the Wehrmacht left a lot of things for the Japanese.

For example, those deep pits that have been blown out by explosives, one after another. With the efforts of the Wehrmacht for almost a month. Almost all of North Korea's military installations were demolished by the National Defense Forces, and they did so in a simple way. It's just to blow it up with explosives.

It may take a long time to build a military facility, but if it is just a demolition, an hour? No. Maybe 10 minutes will be enough!

Just pile up the explosives that need to be counted in tons. Then detonate the detonator. All you have to do is sit there and watch the small mushroom cloud that has been blown up with explosives.

However, these military installations, which were demolished within a month, were built by the Japanese over the course of several years and with countless financial and material resources...

In any case, at least for a considerable period of time, the Wehrmacht could launch an offensive against the Japanese army as long as they wished, but the Japanese army did not have the slightest ability to resist the Wehrmacht. Because their military facilities in North Korea have been completely dismantled, especially in accordance with the treaty between the Kokusha government and the Japanese government. The Japanese government simply could not build any military facilities on the banks of the Yalu River ...

And in addition to a mess and a lot of deep pits blown up with explosives, the Wehrmacht left the Japanese army with a lot of interesting things ...

The Resistance...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The resistance of the Koreans to the tyrannical rule of the Japanese can be said to have almost never stopped. It's just that because of strength and various other reasons, this trend has been declining, and by the time Yan Shao is familiar with that period of history, I believe that the resistance group in North Korea has basically been wiped out, and even if the North Koreans still have the idea of resisting, I am afraid that they have completely lost this courage...

However, in this era, despite the constant weakening, at least this act of resistance still exists, and it has always continued, and it is only because there is no support that it has not developed any fame.

However, during the period of the withdrawal of the Wehrmacht, in order to create some problems for the Japanese. Yan Shao not only ordered the Wehrmacht to blow up all factories and other facilities in North Korea that could be blown up, but also ordered the Wehrmacht to keep all the weapons and equipment captured in North Korea...

In the past year, the number of weapons and equipment captured by the Wehrmacht in Korea can be said to be unusually large, and if the gains in the arsenals in Pyongyang and Seoul are included, there is absolutely no problem in equipping 200,000 or 300,000 people.

One can imagine the impact of so many weapons flowing into the Korean people and getting them to the Koreans, who already have a grudge against the Japanese...

At least for the Japanese, it's definitely a big hassle...

In particular, the already weakened resistance groups in Korea were strengthened tenfold―――――― and before leaving, the Kuomintang government deliberately distributed some of the materials seized from Japan.

Not only weapons and ammunition, but also many other materials, such as clothing, were basically captured from the battlefields of Korea. Anyway, these materials are of little use to the Nationalist government, and even if they are brought back, they can only be thrown in the warehouse to become moldy, after all, in terms of army equipment, the equipment of the Wehrmacht is far stronger than that of the Japanese army. In particular, in some individual weapons, many of the weapons possessed by the Wehrmacht were even seen by the Japanese army.

In the past, perhaps the Defence Force could have solved this problem by giving these weapons to militia units or reserve forces.

Today, however, even the reservists and militia use standard Mauser 1904 rifles and other Wehrmacht-style weapons. Basically, with the exception of equipment such as artillery and tanks, there is no difference in equipment from the regular army of the Wehrmacht. Giving them weapons at this time will not only not increase their strength, but may cause them to regress...

In that case, instead of taking all these weapons and equipment home to accumulate dust, it is better to leave them to the North Koreans. I believe that these weapons, in the hands of the North Koreans, should have the kind of effect that Yan Shao hoped for...

According to the statistics of the Ministry of National Defense, these materials would be enough to last for the North Korean resistance group for at least 10 years, if they were used sparingly. If you add in the secret support of the national government behind the scenes, there is absolutely no problem for more than ten years...

Naturally, under the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese, whether they could hold out for ten years is really a question worth exploring. But one thing Yan Shao is clear is that even if they only hold out for five years, it will be worth the ticket price for China.

After all, they are just some second-hand weapons, which may be a lot of wealth for other countries, but for today's China, time is far more precious than wealth... (To be continued......)
