The authorities that accept applications for nationality are local city and county public security bureaus in China, and Chinese diplomatic missions and consular offices abroad.

Zhao Ye made an appointment with a senior official of the public security department through a relationship.

Vice Minister Chu Liangcai was very surprised, and he didn't know what Zhao Ye asked him to meet for, but he still wanted to give Zhao Ye's face, so he specially reserved time to meet with the other party.

Two days later, at 10 o'clock in the morning, Zhao Ye came to the public security department.

Led by a policewoman, Zhao Ye came to the office of Vice Minister Chu Liangcai.

Knock knock.

The policewoman knocked on the door.

"Please come in!"

Vice Minister Chu Liangcai heard the knock on the door and immediately said, and at the same time got up to greet him, thinking that at this hour, Zhao Ye should be here.

Sure enough, I saw Zhao Ye slowly pushing the door in.

Chu Liangcai stepped forward and said with a smile: "Zhao Ye, hello!" ”

"Hello, Minister Chu."

The two shook hands.

Chu Liangcai pointed to the sofa and said, "Please sit down, let's sit down and talk!" ”

"Okay."

The two sat down, and Vice Minister Chu Liangcai took the initiative to ask, "Zhao Ye, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

When Zhao Ye heard this, he said straight to the point: "That's the case, Minister Chu, there are many former Soviet people among the employees of my company, and since the fall of the Soviet Union, these people have no nationality and are homeless. Many people want to apply for Chinese nationality, but you know that the most difficult nationality in the world to join is Chinese nationality. ”

"Therefore, their application for citizenship basically failed, so they begged me to come here!"

"But in my opinion, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages of letting them become Chinese nationals!"

"Because most of these former Soviet people are talents poached from the Soviet Union by the Wujiang Group, if they are allowed to join the Chinese nationality, they will definitely be able to have a great sense of belonging to China, and will play an incomparably huge role in improving China's scientific and technological level and promoting China's economic development!"

After Zhao Ye finished speaking, Minister Chu Liangcai couldn't help but nod and agreed: "Well, you have a point!" Immediately, he frowned and said, "However, as far as I know, in addition to the smuggled Soviets, there are about 1.2 million former Soviets who have come to China to work and live through ......the right channels, and it may be a bit difficult to get them all to become Chinese nationals."

Zhao Ye said: "Of the more than one million Soviet people, one-quarter are talents recruited by the Wujiang Group, and the remaining three-quarters are mostly family members. According to Chinese law, if one of the parents is a Chinese national, both children can apply for Chinese nationality. Although the population is large, it is reasonable. ”

"Moreover, China is a multi-ethnic country, and the Russian ethnic group is also one of the 56 ethnic groups of the Chinese nation. Most of the millions of Soviets were Russians......"

After a pause, Zhao Ye said sincerely: "Minister Chu, in the current society, the most important thing is talent!! In order to buy the hearts and minds of the Soviets, in order to allow them to stay in China, the best way is to let them become Chinese citizens. Now is the best time to miss this opportunity, and if you miss this opportunity, you may lose a lot of talent! ”

When Chu Liangcai heard this, he was silent for a moment, nodded heavily and said, "Well, what you said is very reasonable, I will do my best to promote this matter!" ”

"Then thank you Minister Chu!"

"No thanks, this is what I should do." Chu Liangcai smiled and said.

After Zhao Ye left the Ministry of Public Security, Chu Liangcai immediately wrote a report to it, which then caused a sensation.

It's mainly because there are too many people, otherwise there is no need to alarm the bigwigs.

But there is a consensus that this matter should be supported.

Which country doesn't value talent?

When they are most confused, China takes the initiative to extend an olive branch, how can they not be moved?

Besides, millions of Soviets were digested in minutes in front of the huge Chinese population, and there was no hindrance to the country.

A few days later, Zhao Ye received a call from Minister Chu, informing him of the country's decision.

"Zhao Ye, the state has agreed that all former Soviet nationals and their families who come to China to work can apply for Chinese nationality within one year. After a year, if they apply for Chinese nationality again, the difficulty will be greatly increased! Chu Liangcai said with a smile.

"Okay, Minister Chu, I see! I thank you on behalf of the former Soviet employees and their families! ”

"Zhao Ye, you are too polite, this is my business, no need to thank you. Well, you should quickly inform the former Soviet nationals under your company that they can go to the local police station to apply for Chinese nationality. ”

"Okay, Minister Chu, then I'll hang up the phone!"

"Well, goodbye!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Ye immediately sent someone to notify the group company, organize the Soviet employees, submit materials, and apply for Chinese nationality.

When the news was conveyed, it caused a sensation among Soviet employees for a while.

During the period of working and living in China, they have come to like China a little.

Although China is not yet a developed country, China's national security and material resources are abundant, and their life in the Soviet Union is not known how many times better.

In addition, China is developing rapidly and with each passing day, it has great potential for development.

Moreover, the Chinese are very warm and friendly and like to make friends.

Chinese food is also mouth-watering and unforgettable.

They love life here.

For stateless people, it is a great blessing to be able to become a Chinese citizen.

Almost the vast majority of Soviets decided to apply for Chinese citizenship.

And such a big news is naturally difficult to hide from the outside world.

The news spread quickly and caused heated discussions.

In China, some people who want to apply for immigration to Europe and the United States suddenly expressed their incomprehension.

"Are these former Soviets stupid? With their conditions, it is easy to apply for American citizenship, but it is really incomprehensible to apply for Chinese nationality. ”

"Yes, it is said that as long as you are white, can speak English, and have made achievements in a certain professional field, you can easily apply for American citizenship."

"Alas...... I couldn't even apply for a green card in the United States, and I was rejected every time, and those Soviets were really tyrannical! ”

“……”

In the 90s, many Chinese tried to immigrate to the United States. Here in the capital, many people sold their ancestral courtyard houses, and then went to the United States to work hard for decades, serving tea, water, and dishes, and looking at people's eyes in a low voice.

Twenty or thirty years later, these people "returned to their hometowns", worth millions, or even tens of millions, and then saw that their courtyard was worth more than 100 million, and instantly cried and fainted in the toilet.

At this time, China was already very prosperous and powerful, with huge potential for commercial development, and national self-confidence was unprecedentedly high, and people were proud to be Chinese. At this time, those who have become foreign nationals want to restore their Chinese nationality, which is really embarrassing......

The country is poor, and you fly away; The country is rich, you come to enjoy.

Thanks to Zhao Ye, he is not the one who makes the law, otherwise, he would definitely not allow people who have become foreign nationals to easily restore their Chinese nationality. If you want to re-become a Chinese citizen, you must follow the rules and make significant contributions, such as donating to the country, or contributing your own technology, etc.

Internationally, when they saw millions of Soviet people joining the Chinese nationality, they were actually afraid in their hearts, and they couldn't help but resent that the Wujiang Group was so shameless that it had poached so many Soviet talents, resulting in a lot fewer Soviet talents who emigrated to Western countries, but China became stronger and stronger because of so many Soviet talents.

At this time, the polar bear country.

When the news that former Soviet nationals could become Chinese citizens reached here, it immediately caused a sensation.

The Soviet Union has only been down for a year, and the main successors, the polar bear states, are engaged in "shock therapy" in order to restore the country's economy. However, this time it was completely out of play, and it was really going to "go into shock", the whole country was short of materials, and the ruble was depreciated crazily, which was worse than before the fall of the Soviet Union.

In this case, after learning that China had applied for citizenship for the former Soviet Union, for a time, countless polar bears were eager to go to China.

The life of the Chinese is beautiful and desirable under the propaganda of the Wujiang Group and in the letters of relatives and friends.

At this time, the Wujiang Group still did not stop digging corners in the northern countries.

Dig and dig in the big garden.

There is a harvest every day.

The polar bear country is too busy to take care of itself, and I don't know how much heritage it has lost.

Zhao Ye had just finished the matter of Soviet employees becoming naturalized at this time, and began to be busy with another major matter.

That is the Zhongxiong crude oil pipeline.

In order to prevent Mongolia from obstructing it, the China-bear crude oil pipeline did not pass through Mongolia, but started from the Angarsk oil field in the Irkutsk region of the polar bear country in the west, entered the Republic of Buryatia in the south, bypassed Lake Baikal, and went all the way to the east, through Chita Oblast, into China, and directly to Daqing, with a total length of about 2,260 kilometers and a cost of about 2.5 billion US dollars.

This is the "Ontario Line" crude oil pipeline!

This year, China has changed from an oil exporter to an oil importer, and the demand for oil is expected to be extremely strong in the future.

Therefore, the state is also trying its best to facilitate this matter.

In order to improve the domestic economic situation, the polar bear country is also eager to sell resources, and the two sides hit it off.

The issue of the route has been discussed for a long time, but with the help of the Wujiang Group, the negotiations are much faster than in the previous life.

However, after the route was determined, the Polar Bear Nation said it did not have the funds to build the pipeline.

To solve this problem, the Borderless Group, China, and the Polar Bear State have engaged in several rounds of negotiations.

But after talking about it, the polar bear country always said that he had no money, and he just wanted an empty glove white wolf anyway.

If Zhao Ye didn't know the importance of this crude oil pipeline, he would definitely not get used to the other party.

Just when the negotiations were about to reach an impasse.

Zhao Ye said that loans could be made to the polar bear country to build crude oil pipelines, and then the crude oil could be used to repay the loans.

Originally, the cooperation had been basically agreed, but suddenly, some people in the northern bear country said that the "Ontario Line" passed through the southern end of Lake Baikal, and some people worried that if the pipeline leaked, it would very likely pollute this freshwater lake, which claims to account for one-fifth of the world's land freshwater.

Moreover, since the polar bear country is building a crude oil pipeline, it should not only consider China, but also other Asian countries such as South Korea and Japan, so as to maximize the national interests of the polar bear.

As soon as Zhao Ye heard the news, he said secretly: "It's bad, if you bite the gold halfway, Japan will definitely make a hindrance from it!" ”

Japan is also a resource-poor country, and like China, it used to buy oil all over the world. However, compared to China, Japan, as the world's second largest economy, is also a member of the Western world, and it is obviously much easier to buy Middle Eastern oil. However, it also faces the problem of ensuring security by diversifying the sources of oil imports.

Capital State Guesthouse.

Zhao Ye's face was not very good, and he looked at the representative of the polar bear, and was depressed for a while.

In the past, the Sino-Bear crude oil pipeline project was successful after 15 years of arduous negotiations.

In order to buy oil, Japan must have provided extremely favorable conditions for the polar bear country.

For polar bear countries, if Japan and South Korea are involved, the price of polar bear's crude oil can be sold higher.

"Mr. Antonia, the cooperation has already been negotiated, why do you say that it has changed, is there other countries involved?" Zhao Ye asked.

Leandro Antonia smiled awkwardly and said, "The crude oil pipeline should indeed not only consider China, but also other Asian countries such as South Korea and Japan, so we decided to change the route." ”

"Change the route? Excuse me, where does the new crude oil pipeline route start and end? Zhao Ye asked coldly.

"From the Angarsk oil field to Nakhodka......" Leander Antonia hesitated, but replied truthfully. Obviously, this line has no intention of supplying China with oil at all.

It is an oil pipeline that goes directly to the Pacific coast and can be transported directly to Japan by sea.

At this moment, except for Zhao Ye, the faces of the Chinese representatives present all changed greatly.

The crude oil pipeline is related to energy security, and this "Anna line" excludes China.

The representative of the Chinese side immediately expressed his disagreement with the pipeline line.

"The Chinese population is large, and the demand for crude oil in the future far exceeds that of Japan, even if it is for the sake of profit, the polar bear country should choose the crude oil pipeline route we propose!"

In fact, the negotiations have reached an impasse at this point.

Polar bear countries are waiting for the price to sell, and even more inclined to Japan.

When Zhao Ye thought of the crude oil pipeline project in his previous life, he felt exhausted, and his eggs could not be put in one basket.

The Polar Bear Nation cannot be counted on.

Friendship is nothing in the face of interests.

Seeing off the representatives of the polar bear country, Zhao Ye immediately expressed his thoughts to the Chinese representative Zhong Bohan.

"Around China, the country of Kazakhstan is also rich in oil."

"China can fully cooperate with it."

When Zhong Bohan heard this, he nodded thoughtfully and said: "Well, that's right, it's just that if you build a crude oil pipeline from Kazakhstan, the cost may be higher!" ”

Zhao Ye waved his hand and said very casually: "It doesn't matter if the cost is higher, you can always buy crude oil!" ”

"Okay, then I'll send someone to contact the country of Kazakhstan to discuss cooperation."

"Hmm."
