Chapter 498: New Territory

South Tibet (Assam) Autonomous State, Chittagong.

At this time, large-scale construction was underway in the urban area of Chittagong. Except for some ancient buildings that still remain, there is no trace of British India anymore. All the signs and advertisements are in Chinese, especially the people who come and go, and you can know that almost all of them are Chinese when you look at the appearance of the clothes.

In other words, the city has become a Chinese city completely.

Two British journalists, in a car, roamed around the city. One of them said, "Look, Judge. These Chinese are really powerful, and in just over three years, a new city is almost ready......"

James sighed and said: "Alas, there is not a single English sign in the whole city now, and it has only been more than three years since Chinese took over, and the traces of the British Empire here have disappeared completely......" He pointed to the street sign next to him and said, "Now only the street sign can still see English......"

There are four characters on the street signs on the side of the road, Chinese is the largest, and English, French and German are at the bottom. This is still a street sign, as for the signboard of those businesses, it is completely in Chinese. This made the two foreigners very unaccustomed.

China is not so keen on foreign languages, which is very different from what was done at some point in the Great Tu Dynasty. During that period of history, China's emphasis on English had reached the point where it was about to rise to a higher level than its mother tongue. No matter what major, whether you can use it or not, you have to learn it. Wen Desi doesn't understand this practice very much, desperately learning a bunch of things that may not be used in the future, isn't this Nima a waste of educational resources?

As for some reasons such as "being in line with international standards", Wen Desi scoffed at them. Why do you want Lao Tzu to be in line with the "international" and not "international" and Lao Tzu? If you want to deal with us, you have to learn Chinese, why do you want us to learn English for the whole people? Of course, Wen Desi is not the kind of overkill secondary two, and there is nothing wrong with learning more foreign languages, but it is not good to go crazy.

Therefore, in the field of Chinese education, foreign language education only occupies a very small proportion. Foreign languages are included in minor subjects and elective courses from junior high school onwards, and foreign language scores are not included in the overall score in entrance exams. Many secondary schools where there are not enough teachers even do not offer foreign language classes at all. Even after entering the university, except for foreign-related majors such as diplomacy, foreign trade, and translation, all other majors take foreign languages as an elective course, and they are not counted in the graduation grade.

Against this backdrop, it's really hard to come across English signboards in Chinese cities, unless they're foreign-related agencies.

The two foreigners turned around for a while, and James couldn't help but say, "Hey, Jenny, why aren't there even many locals here......?"

Jenny shrugged and said: "Then you have to ask those Japanese, the aborigines in this area are about to be killed by them, and after Chinese takes over, what kind of villages and villages are merged, civilized schools or something, it is difficult to see the locals on the street......"

James nodded and said, "Well, it seems that China's method is better now, you see how long it has been, and the territory that they have swallowed not long ago has been localized." Last year, China's total population was 764.73 million, and their main ethnic group, the Han nationality, accounted for 96. More than 5 percent, compared to 89 in 1920. 7%。 If you think about it, the British Empire has been slow to localize India here, which is a huge mistake......"

"China's ethnic integration policy is really effective, but this is also because their main ethnic group itself has a large population base, so it works. And we, the people of England, are too few. The most important thing is that we lack a unified cultural tradition like China, and even if we have enough people in England, it is difficult to guarantee that we will not have different hearts, and the United States is an example......" Jenny said with some disappointment.

"Oh......"

The two were talking when they suddenly heard a cheer not far away.

They turned to see a large-screen television outside a shop showing live broadcasts of the Olympics, and a large crowd of onlookers cheering. Although their Chinese is very poor, they can know what is going on when they look at the picture on the screen. The award ceremony, the raising of the national flag, and the playing of the national anthem were being played on the screen.

James looked at it for a while and said, "It's a swimming competition, Chinese won the championship......"

At this time, the medal table appeared on the screen, which does not need to be explained in words, just look at the flag icon and the numbers below the gold, silver and bronze behind to know the ranking. At this time, the top of the list is, of course, the host China, with 22 gold medals, 27 silver medals, 38 bronze medals, followed by 11 gold medals from the United States.

"We are only fourth in the UK, and we have only won six gold medals. The Germans actually have 3 more than us......" James felt a little depressed.

"Host, there's always going to be some light. Jenny comforted his companion for a few words, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said, "Hey, James, you see we've found a place." He was referring to a nine-story building with the words "Daji Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd." written on the wall in several words.

"Oh, sure enough, it's here, Daji Pharmaceutical......" James took out a photo and compared it to the building in front of him.

Jenny said with some uncertainty: "James, is your information accurate? Is that magical panacea really from this place?"

"Of course, my sources are absolutely accurate! Now all the panaceas we have on the market in the UK are wholesaled from this company. I heard that there are now two panacea wholesale outlets in the world, one here and the other in Shanghai......"

"Okay, we're going to make big news this time!"

..............................................................................

On February 10, 1929, China and Britain signed the Agreement on the Transfer of Suzerainty and Autonomy in Burma and the Assam Region. Since then, there have been two more "trusteeship" states under Chinese rule.

In fact, compared to Myanmar and Assam, President Wen prefers the British Malay Peninsula, so that he can completely control the Strait of Malacca, and the entire western Pacific Ocean will completely become China's inland sea. It's a pity that the opium cow is also a human spirit, Myanmar and Assam are their bottom line, and the Malay Peninsula will not let go no matter what.

The opium cow spit out so much territory this time is nothing more than to keep the ruling power of India, and Wen Deji also understands this. Mr. Wen hopes for a declining bull, but it is not good for it to decline too quickly, which is not in China's interest. At present, the situation is very good, Britain is declining little by little, and China will follow and eat it bite by bite.

In order to consolidate its rule in the subcontinent, Britain divided the remaining part into ten parts: Bengal-Gypsy, Orissa, Karnati, Tamil, Sri Lanka, Marat, Mysore, Marat, Pakistan, and Judeo-Gujarati, a total of ten autonomous states. The British also did this to better maintain their rule. Is it better to deal with one strong opponent, or is it better to deal with ten weak opponents?

India's independence and liberation movement has made them miserable, and if these guys are still put together, what kind of moths will they make in the future? Or should they be separated and divide and conquer is the best policy. Moreover, the division of Niu Niu is also very particular, they do not divide territory according to any ethnicity, religion or traditional customs, but divide it according to forces, with the same purpose: "No organization can occupy absolute superiority in any autonomous state." ”

The territory of the strongest rebel armies, the "Marat Liberation Front", the "Free People's Army" and the "Free Army of Hyderabad", were deliberately divided into different autonomous states by the British. Moreover, they deliberately added the largest autonomous state of Marat to a number of forces, such as the Congress Party, the Liberty League of India, and other organizations that did not like each other. It's to let them stage a palace fight, plus the two-stirring sticks of Jews and Gypsies, so that Britain can play a big balance in it.

However, with the big killer of land reform, coupled with "divide and rule", this set of combination punches of the British is indeed very useful, and the situation in British India has been stabilized at present. Finally, I can free up my hands to clean up the disobedient black corn. Now, without China's assistance, those black and black corn can't make waves at all.

After gaining the benefits, he agreed to support British rule in the colonies and promised not to support the anti-British forces in the area. Of course, this is not just the abandonment of the Indian and African peoples. There is always a trough in the revolution, anyway, everyone is tired now, and after a few years of rest, they will continue to work after healing their wounds.

After China canceled its aid and ordered the armed forces under its control to lurk or defect, the African people could no longer hold on, and their various armed forces quickly collapsed under the brutal suppression of Britain, the United States, France, and Spain. The civil war between several newly independent countries was almost fought. Since then, the troubled continent has finally calmed down. Now the population of the whole of Africa is less than 60 million, and the number of black corn is less than 30 million.

Although de jure speaking, Burma and Assam are still only autonomous states under the "trusteeship" of China, and they cannot be considered Chinese territory until a referendum was held in 1939 and incorporated into China.

But as we all know, this kind of thing is just a fig leaf. In fact, both the Chinese government and the private sector have counted Myanmar and Assam as China's two provinces. This can be seen from the fact that in January this year, Wen Deji signed an order to change the name of "Assam" to "Nanzang".

The South Tibetan (Assam) Autonomous State includes the former Assam region, as well as the part of East Bengal east of the mouth of the Ganges River from the Brahmaputra River to the mouth of the Ganges, with an area of about 24. 90,000 square kilometers, the capital is Hengkou (Dhaka). The area of the Autonomous State of Myanmar is about 38. 840,000 square kilometers, the capital is Yangon. A total of 63 were obtained. 740,000 square kilometers of new territory.

Since then, China currently has 4 municipalities, 47 provinces, 2 autonomous states, 6 counties, 5 oceanic special regions (three in the Pacific Ocean and two in the Indian Ocean), with a total of 64 provincial and sub-provincial administrative units. The total area reached 2940. 290,000 square kilometers, which is still a little short of the "30 million frontiers" that Wen Desi said.

However, Wen Desi also knows that according to the current situation, it is impossible to obtain new territory through peaceful means, and everything that can be harvested has already been earned, and if he wants to expand his territory, he can only wait until World War II.

Because of the Spanish flu, the years of tug-of-war between the rebel army and the suppression army, as well as the PK within the rebel army, and the subsequent disasters such as the widespread famine and plague. The population of Burma and Assam has plummeted, and by the time China took over, there were less than 4 million people left, and most of the rest were women and children, and before World War I, the population of these two places should have been 12.5 million, but after more than ten years of war, it was reduced by two-thirds.

After getting these two pieces of land, Mr. Wen immediately began the consistent procedure to completely purge the upper classes in the two places and carry out a major liquidation. Then we will screen out those bad elements who are unstable, disharmonious, unwilling to carry out national integration, and turn back the clock on history. This was followed by the compulsory merging of villages, dispersal of migration, and a series of means of ethnic integration.

In Wenzong's plan, at least 3 million of the 4 million people in the region will be absorbed by other new territories, and then 5 million will be emigrated from the mainland, so that the two places can be firmly controlled by themselves.

This time the deal with the British, in addition to China taking a big bite, several younger brothers also followed suit.

The Republic of Siam has regained 10,220 square kilometers of Perlis and Kedah in the southern part of the Malay Peninsula, and has acquired from Myanmar the province of Tanintharyi on the western side of the peninsula, about 43,344 square kilometers, and now the total land area has risen to 56. 670,000 square kilometers. Afghanistan was even more powerful, not only taking back the two provinces on the northwest border, but also carving up Balochistan with Persia, having access to the sea, and from then on from a landlocked country to a coastal country.

..............................................................................

Hankyung, presidential palace.

"Mr. Wen, our penicillin, oh, panacea, has already started to be sold in the European and American markets!" Huo Jinsi reported to Wen Desi. "The market response has been very enthusiastic, and now a large number of foreign media and medical experts have rushed to Daji Pharmaceutical ...... in Shanghai and Chittagong."

Wen Desi smiled: "Hehe, it seems that they are still knowledgeable......"

Yes, Wen Desi has now released the money-making killer of penicillin, and after the previous batch of sulfonamide patents expired, Wen Desi threw out a batch of new drugs to make money, including penicillin. However, Penicillin is not going to apply for a patent so soon, at least it will have to be fun for a few years, anyway, as long as it is not said that this thing comes from mold, I am afraid that others will not be able to think of it if they want to break their heads.

If you only look at it from a business point of view, this time to throw penicillin is not the most appropriate time, and now there is an economic crisis for you. However, Wen Desi is not a pure businessman, he has to calculate not only economic accounts, but also political accounts.
