Chapter 44 Immigration

Entering August, the land of North China finally experienced the breath of summer, the weather began to get hot, and I knew that I began to sing endlessly; It is the time when the annual herbs are at their most prosperous, and the fields are green and lush, and everything looks so vibrant.

The Bonn family has settled down in Renqiu, where construction has begun on the southern outskirts of the chemical plant, a newly established chemical development zone. The new term "Chemical Development Zone" naturally comes from Ouyang Yun's mouth, and as the scale of Renqiu's economic construction grows larger and larger, more such new terms are destined to appear.

The move of the Bonn family to Renqiu is a win-win situation for both parties. In Renqiu, the necessary chemical raw materials for the production of penicillin have been guaranteed; On the Jewish side, Renqiu became another happy place in China after Shanghai that could help Jews escape Nazi persecution.

After successfully inviting the Bonn family to Renqiu, Ouyang Yun considered the issue of accepting more Jews, but after the investment conference, he had no time to deal with this matter because he was busy with the production of pharmaceutical factories and the finalization and trial production of disease-free multi-functional machine guns. It was not until Bonn came to the door with an old friend of his, who wanted to be able to move to Renqiu and obtain the right to settle, that he took it seriously and decided to introduce an immigration policy for the Jews. He, Kondafu had a long conversation with the Bonn father and son and Stuart Leiden about this.

The Bonn father and son hoped that Renqiu would accept all the Jews who came to join him without restrictions, and Stuart Leiden agreed, believing that the Jews were more wealthy and more educated, and their arrival would bring sufficient development funds, advanced financial management concepts, and high-quality workers and new skills to Renqiu.

Ouyang Yun did not explicitly refute their views, but vaguely told Renqiu's current situation and difficulties: "Renqiu Special Economic Zone now governs Renqiu, Wen'an, Xiongxian, Dacheng and Hejian five places, with an area of about 4,500 square kilometers, a population of more than 1.2 million, and a total of about 20 million mu of arable land. However, at present, the situation in North China is severe, and the Japanese are eyeing the possibility of war breaking out at any time, so it seems that Renqiu is not an ideal place of refuge. Speaking of this, he waited for Situ Leiden to translate, and when he saw that the Bonn father and son nodded again and again, he changed the conversation and said: "But you have also seen the determination and military appearance of our military division and the 29th Army to resist Japan, as long as the weapons and equipment can match it, it is delusional for the little devil to want to get involved here." Of course, if the Jews can truly regard Renqiu as their future hometown and fight against the enemy together with the people of Renqiu, I believe that the Japanese have no chance of winning at all. To put it bluntly, Mr. Bonn, the Jews seem to have a bad reputation and are hated in every country, have you analyzed the reasons for this? ”

Situ Leiden translated his words a little awkwardly, the Bonn father and son were a little embarrassed, and the former glanced at Ouyang Lian - this is the heart disease of the Jews, you are not moral to expose other people's scars at this time!

Ouyang Yun pretended not to pay attention to Situ Leiden's eyes, and said with a smile: "I have considered this issue, in the final analysis, it is because you do not belong to your own country, or you do not really regard yourself as a part of the country you are in - this is my personal opinion, it may be a little biased, but I really regard you as friends to be so straightforward, and I ask for your understanding." ”

This time, after listening to Situ Leiden's translation, the Bonn father and son thought about it seriously, and the elder Bonn said: "Director Ouyang, can we apply for your nationality?" We are willing to treat China as our own country and defend it at the expense of money, even at the cost of it. ”

Why did Hitler persecute and expel the Jews in opposition to his own nation (the German nation)? There are many versions of the answer to this historical question, and it is certain that the high quality and wealth of the Jews brought themselves into trouble. In order to realize his dream of a "Third Reich", Hitler was in dire need of a large fortune, and the rich Jewish pagans in his country were undoubtedly ready-made money bags in his eyes.

The high IQ and good business skills of the Jews are caused by historical reasons, Ouyang Yun knows a little bit about the Tao, and it is these that he likes, after listening to the words of old Bonn, he thought about it and said seriously: "If this is the case, I personally think it will work, you know that China itself is a multi-ethnic country, and the Chinese people are the most tolerant in the world." Our current situation is similar to yours, where both peoples' right to exist is threatened, and it is time to join hands to get through this difficult time. ”

The father and son of Bonn received an affirmative answer, their faces showed joy, and the old Bonn suddenly remembered something, and asked hesitantly: "Director Ouyang, is this your personal opinion or the opinion of your government, as far as I know, your country is currently in a hot fight with the German government." ”

Hearing the worries of old Bonn, Situ Leiden knew that they did not understand China's national conditions, and did not know what role Ouyang Yun played in Renqiu, so he explained with a smile, and finally packed the ticket and said: "I dare not guarantee anything else, in Renqiu or even in North China, what Professor Ouyang said is what the government meant." ”

The father and son of Bonn were surprised at first, and then showed a sudden expression on their faces, and said: "So, Renqiu is an independent kingdom, and Director Ouyang is the KING here?" ”

Situ Leiden translated this sentence with a smile, and then looked at Ouyang Yun quietly waiting for his answer, he also wanted to know the answer of Lu Dao, I don't know what kind of ambition this young man Lu Dao has? Will he be satisfied with being a soil emperor like Yan Xishan and others? Kang Dafu and Situ Leiden's positions were similar, and they also looked at Ouyang Yun with an expectant look at them at this time.

Ouyang Yun shook his head decisively and said: "No, no, Renqiu will always be China's territory, there is no such thing as an independent kingdom here, the reason why we maintain military and political independence now is only because I think I can do better than the national government!" I have this self-confidence. ”

This may be the last worry of the Bonn father and son, because although they have joined the Chinese nationality, due to geographical factors, it is actually equivalent to being tied to Ouyang Yun's chariot. If Ouyang Yun really had the heart to build an independent kingdom, the central government would definitely not agree, in that case, wouldn't they be used by Ouyang Yun? After receiving his assurance, the Bonn father and son made up their minds and solemnly told Ouyang Yun that from now on they would be strict with themselves from the perspective of a Chinese, and as long as the country did not abandon them, they would fight for it and even sacrifice it.

For Ouyang Yun now, formulating an immigration policy is a fairly cheap thing, and the reason why he wants to treat it so ceremoniously is to gain the recognition of the Jews from the inside out, and lay a solid foundation for running Renqiu well and firmly controlling North China in the hands of the Chinese.

On the basis of this conversation, with Kondafu as the leader, Renqiu set up a special immigration policy office and began to accept Jewish immigrants on behalf of the authorities. On the Jewish side, with the Bonn father and son as the medium, first their relatives and friends began to come to Renqiu from Germany one after another. Then the Jews in the United States, Shanghai and other places were influenced by them, and they also began to pay attention to the small place of Renqiu, and with the improvement and transparency of Renqiu's immigration policy and the rapid development of Renqiu's economic construction, more and more Jews began to flock to Renqiu, settle here or buy industries - of course, this is a later story.
