Chapter 619: Combining Rigidity and Softness
The current attack in the Outer Northeast is indeed a bit disturbing.
Although the resistance in the Outer Northeast was very small due to its sparse population, it nevertheless caused some hindrance to the rule of the Nationalist government there. It is important to note that the attack is bound to cause destruction, and it is clear that these resistance elements are unlikely to be responsible for the reconstruction after the destruction, and that this work can only be done by the Nationalist government itself.
After all, Yan Shao and they are recovering the lost territory this time (even if there is almost no Chinese people left in this lost land), they are not building a puppet state like Japan, no matter how many they kill, they will not worry about the aftermath...
At present, because of the military operation, the Ministry of Finance has some pressure, but with the accumulation of the past few years, it can basically be supported, but it is just ......... If we count the strategy of westward expansion, this investment is a bottomless pit.
Although the resistance in the Outer Northeast is very weak, every time those resistors cause damage, it will eventually need to be dealt with by the national government, if there is no way to solve it......... Over time, it will add up to a very large number...
Therefore, in addition to the westward expansion, the most important thing at the moment is this...
When later generations talked about Uncle bin Laden, why did some people always say that because of him, China had ten more years of development time? It was because the United States was focusing on Afghanistan and Iraq at that time, and these two wars also bogged down the United States. Originally, the United States, which was supposed to be invincible in the world after the Cold War, was pitted quite badly by these two wars. And China and other countries have taken advantage of this opportunity to develop...
Although the current international situation is very different from that of later generations, one thing is certain: China's foundation is still very thin. You can't toss as much as the United States...
It's just that, as I said before, it will definitely not work to kill people, after all, it will cause more resistance, and it is not conducive to the rule of the national government in the local area, if some Chinese people are immigrated, it may cause a lot of conflicts, not to mention that there are some white people living there. Although Britain and the United States looked down on the Russians and thought they were all barbarians, they were all white-skinned after all...
The world is white again. There are only two powerful countries of the yellow race, China and Japan, and Britain and the United States and other countries are very wary of China and Japan......... Yan Shao will not be soft, but it is easy for Britain and France and other countries to think that this is the massacre of white people by the yellow race...
Although Yan Shao does not need to think about any international outlook or the surprise of friendly countries. But. He has to consider the strength, although the current China is much stronger than a few years ago, but there is still a big gap compared with Britain and France, if you play like this, it is tantamount to asking for trouble for yourself...
If there is a real conflict, the colonies in the Middle East will definitely not need to think about it, and even the westward expansion strategy of Siberia will probably have an impact.
Therefore, you can only use some tenderness. To be exact, a strategy of softness and rigidity...

"To dig coal in Iraq?"
Hearing Yan Shao say this, Duan Qirui and the others were stunned.
"Just kidding...", he waved his hand. Yan Shao said a little impatiently, after all, he only knew that Iraq had a lot of oil, and as for whether there was coal or not, he really didn't know about it. "But you're right, if the Japanese support those guys through Sakhalin and let them mess around in Sakhalin, it will really be troublesome, so......... Just make it clear to them that for the first time, if anyone dares to support or harbor the resistance, the whole village will be moved to Sakhalin, and if they dare to mess around on Sakhalin, they will all be sent to Iraq! β
Speaking of this, Yan Shao said with some annoyance. "I don't believe it, they can make trouble in Iraq..."
"This..."Hearing Yan Shao say this, Duan Qirui and the others also felt that it was a good way.
How to deal with those resistance elements is indeed a tricky matter, although it is indeed a very convenient way to kill them directly, but who told them to be all white-skinned. Compared with the slaughter between whites and whites, yellow people and yellow people, the slaughter of different skin colors of each other must always be more sensitive, whether it is the slaughter of white and yellow, or the slaughter of yellow and white, but this era is an era in which whites have an absolute advantage, whites have a strong sense of superiority over yellow people, and in their eyes, yellow people are inherently inferior to them, even if they invade these countries, it is just a way to bring these inferior races into the civilized world, Although this method is a little rougher, these white skins don't matter.
But what if what they saw as an inferior race slaughtered them instead? I believe that these white people will definitely not be able to stand it, and these white countries are also aware of their vigilance against China, Duan Qirui and others, although they are not angry, they can only act cautiously before they become truly strong.
And the exile of these Russians to Iraq is undoubtedly a good thing.
First of all, in an unfamiliar environment, it is difficult for them to get the support of the locals, in fact, the language barrier, and if it is not good, it may cause conflicts with the locals, in this case, the only thing they can rely on seems to be the government itself...
It may not be much at first, but over time, it will inevitably change...
This is undoubtedly much better than simply using force to solve the problem...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Seeing that everyone agreed, Yan Shao bowed slightly. "Since everyone agrees, let's start doing it..."
"Don't worry..."Smiled, Fu Xiuming said. We'll take care of it..."
"Yes." Nodding, Yan Shao still believes in this...
"In addition, a simple high-pressure policy will not work, after all, we are recovering the lost territory this time, not making a colony to play..."In the conference room, Yan Shao paced back and forth, and then walked to the front of the cabinet next to the wall, where he got a jade gadget and played with it, and then continued to Duan Qirui and the others. The so-called high-pressure policy. It will only make the people have a stronger sense of resistance, but Huairou is easy to make these people accustomed to being 'Diao Min'. If they are used to it for a long time, they may even think that they are higher than us and make trouble every day, then it will be annoying, so only the combination of rigidity and softness is the king, that is to say. Let them understand both the consequences of resisting us and the benefits of obeying us. β
"I have studied the policy of the Russians towards Siberia and found that Siberia is no different from a colony to Russia. The Russians had no idea of developing Siberia at all, they just thought of it as a colony for plundering resources..."
"Although geographically, it is difficult to say whether the Outer Northeast belongs to Siberia or not, but because of the existence of Vladivostok. Therefore, Russia still has some development in the northeast. But it is only slightly stronger than Siberia, in other words, the Russians in the Outer Northeast have hardly benefited from the hands of Tsarist Russia, so if we can show them some benefits, I believe they will figure it out, at least......... There won't be a sense of resistance like it is now..."
Geographically, there are two concepts in Siberia.
Well. In later Russia, it was mainly divided into the Siberian Commonwealth. There is also the exclusion of parts of Siberia, such as the Outer Northeast. But in history, this part, including the Outer Northeast, is also included in the geographical concept of Siberia, mainly depending on which angle it is viewed...
At the same time, after listening to Yan Shao's words, the others also nodded, expressing their agreement with Yan Shao's statement.
Now that the solution has been decided, it is natural to implement it.
In a small town called Akug, a few dozen kilometers from Vladivostok, many of the townspeople have gloomy expressions on their faces, and occasionally some government officials or Wehrmacht soldiers pass by in groups, and even show disgust.
In fact, even though the First Army had completely occupied the Outer Northeast, some Russian-speaking government officials had established grassroots rule in the towns and cities of the Outer Northeast.
But the Russians in the Outer Northeast already looked down on the Chinese, and now they are ruled by a group of people they used to look down upon, how can they be happy in their hearts.
Of course, they are not idiots enough to directly resist by force, after all, they still see clearly the guys in the hands of the Wehrmacht, and they know very well what the consequences of armed resistance will be, but in their daily life, they do not actively cooperate with many of the government's policies.
And just as Yan Shao and the others guessed, the reason why those resistance elements were so active in the Outer Northeast was because of the support of the Japanese behind them, but on the other hand, it was because they were covering in the local area...
Weapons and ammunition? They may not be able to provide this, but there is no problem with the clothes for the cold winter and the food that is usually necessary...
It is not uncommon for many residents of villages and towns to appear to be obedient but are resistance behind the scenes, and the local government is helpless about this.
After all, they had only been in the Outer Northeast for a short time, and they had no way of finding out the situation in their jurisdiction, as for the Russians who had been absorbed into the government. Although these local entrepreneurs or farmers may seem to be very cooperative, God knows what they think...
It is not surprising that the reason why there are so many traitors in China in later generations is because China has been weak for a long time, and some people with despicable hearts will naturally find a good way out for themselves. But Russia is different, although it has fallen into civil strife, but in the past few hundred years, Russia has been a strong country, these Russians no matter whether they have made some benefits in the past, they will have a sense of pride in the people of a strong country, on the other hand, China, but it has been weak for a long time, only the last two years have risen, these Russians have a strong sense of superiority over China, thinking that compared with Russia, China is just a weak country, and now it is ruled by a weak country, they will be happy...
What's more, there are many people who think that when the civil strife is over, Russia will become strong again, and it may not take long to recover the Outer Northeast, in which case it is strange that they will voluntarily become Russian traitors...
Just now...
Just as the townspeople of Akug were looking at the mayor and deputy mayor who were walking down the street under the protection of a dozen soldiers, the two men came to the town square and tried to attract the attention of the townspeople first. Then the mayor of the town loudly announced the order of the national government in a loud voice...
At the same time, the deputy mayor stood behind the mayor, paying attention to the more and more townspeople gathered.
As a ruling plan of the national government. Yan Shao did not immediately replace the officials such as the mayors of the outer northeast with his own people, but only added a deputy mayor under them, which was actually dominated by the original Russians.
This is done on the one hand to win over the local powerful faction, and on the other hand, it is also to reduce local resistance.
Having said that, in fact, the control of resistance is still mainly in the hands of those deputy officials.
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Stand in the center of the square. The mayor read out the order that had just been sent to the town.
After he read Yan Shao's order, the Russians around the square were in an uproar.
For it has been made clear in the order just now that if anyone in that village or town is found to support the resistance. The whole village will be moved to Sakhalin, and if there is a next time, it will be moved directly to Iraq...
Where is Iraq? They didn't know very well, but such a law was enough to make them angry.
Soon, many Russians began to curse. People rushed up with great excitement. It's like beating them up.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, just when the mayor was still in front of him to persuade the townspeople to calm down, the deputy mayor standing behind nodded to the squad leader on the side.
Receiving the signal, the squad leader nodded knowingly, then pulled out the pistol from his waist and shot directly into the sky.
This shot suddenly cooled down the scene that was about to get out of control, looking at the Wehrmacht with weapons in his hands. The townsfolk calmed down a little.
After the troops entered the town, IDF conducted a search of the entire town. Although their personal belongings were not touched, some weapons and other things were all taken away. There may be some fish that slip through the net under the search, but it is only a sporadic number, so if they want to resist, they can only use their bare hands...
Although the Russians were fierce, the cunning of the Russians was equally famous in later generations.
Knowing that they couldn't please them, they quickly stopped shouting...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Seeing that the situation had finally calmed down, the mayor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
In fact, he was also surprised by this law, after all, it almost cut off the basis for the survival of the resistance.
That's right, the Japanese did provide a lot of things for the resistance, but that little thing could not support the resistance elements in the Outer Northeast, in fact, their foundation is still in the Outer Northeast, not to mention that after discovering that the Japanese were making trouble behind their backs, although they didn't say anything on the surface, but secretly in addition to warning Japan, Sa Zhenbing's navy was also patrolling along the coast of the Outer Northeast, which also made it impossible for Japan to support the resistance as usual.
Now the government of the National Socialist Republic has come again...
If we do move everyone out, I'm afraid the resistance won't last much longer...
Although he is the mayor of the town who is supported by the national government, as many people expected, this mayor does have his own thoughts in his heart, and he does not believe that the national government can always rule the outer northeast, but only cooperates a little on the surface, but actually provides a lot of help to the resistance behind the scenes...
But now...
While the mayor was still there wiping a cold sweat, the deputy mayor came out from behind, patted the mayor on the shoulder, and then the young man, who was only in his early 30s, spoke fluent Russian.
"In addition to the above, the government will also implement new support policies throughout the Outer Northeast to ensure the economic development of the Outer Northeast region..."
Immediately after the deputy mayor announced a series of policies, these policies are almost the same as in China, such as six years of compulsory education, etc., the only difference is only more Chinese and Chinese education, after all, this is the land of China in the future, they can no longer continue to learn Russian, they must learn some Chinese and Chinese characters, and they do not need to be proficient, as long as they can be used in daily communication.
In addition, there are some economic policies.
First of all, Yushi Bank and Bank of China have joined forces to enter the Outer Northeast region and announced the opening of low-interest loan business, from which any entrepreneur who is willing to start an industry or expand production can get a relatively cheap loan...
The Outer Northeast is still rich in natural resources, such as forestry and mineral resources, which used to be buried in the ground, and now it is time to dig them out.
And these can undoubtedly provide good jobs for Russians in the Northeast, and in addition to the first time, the policy of exempting from agricultural taxes has also given many benefits to ordinary Russiansββββββ in this era, China is the first country to exempt from agricultural taxes, not to mention Russia, even Britain and the United States and other countries.
And such a policy is undoubtedly very affordable for ordinary Russians ...
The so-called combination of rigidity and softness, the former is to let them understand what the consequences of resistance will be, while the latter is to let them understand the benefits of being Chinese, as well as ......... They have more than Tsarist Russia can give them ...
Just as the deputy mayor stood in the square to announce the policy, almost no one in the whole of the Outer Northeast was reading out the same policy, and it is conceivable how shocking this series of policies could be to these Russians in the Outer Northeast, which has always been plundered by Tsarist Russia as a colony...
Perhaps these policies will not make the Russians immediately return to their hearts, but Yan Shao and others, as a country with a history of 5,000 years, China will wait for the same... (To be continued......)
