The question of how to deal with the "aliens" in the territory of the crossing regime has been a topic of debate within the group since before the crossing began. In fact, the scope of this controversy is not only external, but also within the group, and there was a lot of controversy in the early days about the joining of "foreigners" like the North American Gang, and many people even thought that the introduction of a few foreigners by the Executive Committee was suspected of admiring foreigners. Fortunately, these people in the North American Gang did not disappoint the executive committee, and proved their ability and loyalty to the crossing group with their consistently good performance, and finally slowly gained the recognition of the public.

However, within the Crossing Group, there is still a hidden "xenophobia" feeling, and the specific expression is that many members only agree that the people in the Ming Dynasty and the areas under its rule are Han Chinese and compatriots, and those outside this range will all be regarded as aliens, potential opponents and enemies of the Crossing Group. In particular, those countries and regions that have not had good relations with China in later generations are the focus of this "xenophobia", such as Japan and Vietnam. A typical example is Yan Chujie, who has always had an inexplicable antipathy to Vietnam, and if it weren't for the fact that the construction of Xingang could not solve the manpower problem, he would probably really stand up against the introduction of Vietnamese immigrants to settle in Xingang.

As far as the future prospects of the regime are concerned, the introduction of multiracial immigrants under the rule is almost inevitable, and it is only a matter of time. The formulation of an effective ethnic policy is also one of the tasks that must be completed by the Executive Committee, and even if no one takes the initiative to propose it, sooner or later it will have to face this problem. The current controversy over the transfer of Japanese Minami Takahashi has only exposed this hidden contradiction in advance.

"Are the Li and Miao people who are working for us now considered our people? Will the regime we want to establish in the future not tolerate the so-called alien races? If the territory expands and occupies more places in the future, what will happen at that time?" Tao Donglai became more and more excited, and said generously: "Please think about it, can the country we want to establish in the future only be in a corner, and can it only be limited to the current field of Han activities?"

Tao Donglai threw out this series of questions like a sledgehammer, hitting the hearts of everyone present. Many people hadn't thought deeply about this issue before, and just vaguely thought that it was natural for Li people and Miao people to work for the crossing group, but it still seemed that there was some inexplicable difference between them and the Han people. And now Tao Donglai is telling the difference between them, they have not obtained a unified and effective identity authentication. Whether it is Yidi or Chinese, this is a big question.

The Li and Miao people are all fine, after all, they are all in the same country in later generations, and there is not much estrangement emotionally, but to accept people from other countries to obtain the status of naturalized people, it seems that there are still cognitive barriers for a considerable number of people in the crossing group. If Takahashi Minami can successfully obtain the status of a naturalized citizen, it means that this matter will become a precedent for the ********, and it is likely that the naturalization of different races in the future will be handled in this way, and eventually become a legal regulation.

"But if these other ethnic groups or races are overrepresented under our rule, will it create a new racial problem?" Meng He was still a little unrelenting about the Han nationalism he adhered to, and continued to ask Tao Donglai.

"If our naturalized people can speak Chinese, write Chinese characters, respect Chinese etiquette, abide by Chinese law, and work and live as a Haihan person, how can there be a racial problem? Menghe, under the rule of our Executive Committee, there will be no racial distinction, no matter who a person is, if he wants to become a naturalized citizen, he must first regard himself as a Haihan person. Tao Donglai answered his questions very patiently.

Meng He's eyes lit up when he heard this: "I seem to understand something...... Mr. Tao, your Han nationalism seems to be more extreme than me!"

Tao Donglai immediately corrected Meng He's statement: "Under our rule, there are no Li people, Miao people, Vietnamese, and Japanese people, only Haihan people! In the future, we should also follow this principle in the territory we administer, if we can't assimilate it in one year, it will take ten years, and if one generation can't do it, it will take several generations, our opponents are not inside, and those foreign races who refuse to naturalize are our real enemies." ”

Tom Wang raised his hand to signal that he had something to say, Tao Donglai nodded at him, and Tom Wang got up and said: "Can I understand this kind of ethnic policy that Mr. Tao said is similar to that of the United States? ”

Tao Donglai said with a smile: "It is true that there are many ethnic groups and races coexisting in the United States, but the racial problem in the United States is also quite strict, and I don't think we need to follow the old path of the United States in ********." What the United States has done to blacks, Chinese, Indians, and Mexicans in history is not destined to completely disappear from the memory of these ethnic groups, and we must try to avoid similar situations in our areas as much as possible. Of course, this is not to say that the ethnic policy of the United States is not merit at all, and how to absorb people who originally belonged to different nationalities into the same track of social life, how to establish the dominant position of Han culture in terms of language and culture, and how to guide naturalized people to gradually ignore ethnic differences and establish a sense of nationality are all aspects that we need to learn. ”

"I hope that in the future, there will be no more ethnic columns on the ID card of the Republic of Haihan, and all citizens will only be able to authenticate their own identity by nationality, and there will be no more racial distinctions! When our generation is a hundred years later, we will be able to leave a regime without ******** for future generations!" Tao Donglai finally summed up the theory of ethnic policy he had devised in a short and powerful speech.

Speaking of which, there will naturally be no more problems with Takahashi's job transfer. However, the list of expatriates of the Military Police Department was still not immediately obtained, because the executive committee members saw on the list that the person in charge of the expatriate was a less familiar name, Qian Tiandun.

"If I'm not mistaken, this person doesn't seem to be a backbone member of the Military Police Department, right?" asked Gu Kai with the list to Yan Chujie.

In addition to Tao Donglai and Yan Chujie, the North American Six, who has always been on the cusp of public opinion, Xiang Zhinan, who presided over the construction of the hydropower station, Ren Liang, who manages the labor camp, Gu Wei, who is in charge of the affairs of the new barracks, Ha Lugong, who has just been promoted to the head of the farm commune, and Mu Xiabai, Feng Annan, and He Xi, who have been assigned to work in the Cliff Office, can be regarded as relatively outstanding figures in the Military Police Department. But this Qian Tiandun seems to be relatively unfamiliar, Gu Kai remembered that the team sent to Yazhou twice before and after and the expedition team to Xingang this time did not have this name, how could the Military Police Department suddenly recommend such a person who had been silent before to serve as such an important position as the military chief officer of Xingang?

"Let me tell you about the situation. Yan Chujie seemed to have expected that this candidate would be questioned, nodded and explained: "Qian Tiandun is twenty-three years old this year, a native of Beijing, graduated from the National Defense University, served in the 38th Army before joining the crossing, lieutenant and deputy company commander, has been sent abroad many times to receive military training, participated in various military exercises, and has also carried out the task of striking at the three forces in the northwest region. Our Military Police Department has repeatedly discussed the candidates, and finally concluded that Comrade Qian Tiandun is more suitable to serve as the military chief officer stationed in the Xingang area this time. ”

Gu Kai's jaw was about to fall on the table when he heard it, and it took a long time before he spoke: "With such a powerful character, how much is still hidden in your military police department?"

"This is a military secret, no comment!" Yan Chujie replied with a stern face.

"This Qian Tiandun...... Was he an active military officer before the crossing?" Meng He noticed that Yan Chujie's introduction did not mention the situation of this person's retirement from the military, and couldn't help but ask.

Yan Chujie glanced at Meng He and didn't speak, just nodded to confirm his guess.

"The officers on active duty came to participate in the crossing, what is this doing? You actually approved it?" Meng He couldn't believe it.

At the beginning, the Preparatory Committee was extremely strict in approving the personnel who signed up to participate in the crossing, and all candidates who might have problems were kept away, especially those engaged in police work, such as Ren Liang and others, who were reviewed and reviewed before each selection, lest there be any mistakes. Under such circumstances, the Military Police Department actually quietly approved an active duty officer to come in, which couldn't help but surprise Menghe so much.

"Comrade Qian Tiandun's participation in the crossing is due to his unavoidable personal reasons, and I will not announce it here. Tao Donglai took over the conversation: "But his joining was jointly reviewed by our military police department, and finally it was unanimously determined that the comrade is politically qualified, has a firm ideology, has excellent military skills, is familiar with the grassroots work of the modern army and has a certain command ability, and the most important thing is that he has rich experience in expatriate assignments and has performed tasks in complex overseas environments many times. Out of consideration for talents, we finally approved and recruited him to join the crossing. ”

"If it's so powerful, then why hasn't the previous operation military police department sent him out?" Meng He continued to ask reluctantly.

Tao Donglai and Yan Chujie exchanged glances, shook his head and said: "This issue involves top military secrets, we can't announce it on this occasion, if you have any questions about this, you can go to the Military Police Department alone to inquire about relevant matters." ”

The corners of Meng He's mouth twitched, but in the end he didn't continue to ask, he knew that even if he went to the military police department to ask about it in private, he would probably still be fooled by these old fritters with some painless words. Military secrets that cannot be leaked? An incognito officer on active duty? Meng He could only sneer at this kind of excuse, saying it so mysteriously that it was like a bloody soldier king novel on the Internet, and he almost didn't explicitly say that Qian Tiandun was a special soldier. The more the military police department was so secretive, the more Meng He felt that there was something unspeakable.
