Chapter 375: It's Not Enough, It's Necessary

PS: I took a nap at ten o'clock last night, but I didn't expect to fall asleep, embarrassed......

Hankyung, presidential palace.

Premier Zhang Lizheng is reporting to Wen Desi: "President Wen, the Mobei and Andong parts of the newly restored homeland have been basically pacified, the Red Russia has withdrawn their people as promised, and their supporters have all been sent away, and those who are willing to be Chinese with the White Russians are also sent away." At present, the indigenous people left in the area are being screened. According to the plan, after the establishment of the new village, the work of merging villages and the revolution of agriculture and rural areas will also be carried out in the area......"

"The mobilization of internal migrants should not be sloppy, I looked at the preliminary statistics of the local population sent in, and now there are a total of 3.83 million people in these two places, and I hope that within five years, the local demographic structure will be completely changed, and the number of Han and ethnic groups will reach at least half. Wen Deji nodded and said: "The situation in Central Asia is much more complicated, when the cleaning work over there is completed, let's send those local natives who do not want to be Chinese to Turkey as before, and we will send them for free as usual." ”

This method of giving people to Turkey is not the first time, and last time in Xinjiang, more than 200,000 guys who did not want to be Chinese were sent over. Turkey is struggling with the demographics of the European territory, where Christians and Europeans make up the majority and Turks are the majority ethnic group. This person is not a leek, and even if they can give birth again, it is impossible to get a large number of people out in a short period of time.

At this time, China found the big three of Turkish affairs and gave them a good idea, that is, to pack up and send them all those who call themselves "Turks" in Xinjiang, China.

In this way, those people fulfilled their desire to be "Turks" and were happy.

The Turks got the population they wanted most. Although those in Xinjiang are not really Turkish, they are still close to Turkey, and they are much more reliable than those Christians. With this group of people, the European territories were much more stable, and they were happy. And China has thrown away a bunch of burdens and thorns, and is of course happy to raise the level of social order and national unity.

All three parties are happy, and it's really good to have such a win-win thing.

"I have always believed that it is good to gather and disperse, and anyone who does not want to be a Chinese will send it to the country they want to go to, and as long as those countries are willing to accept it, we will send it for free." The property and immovable property that they cannot carry with them are also converted into cash or cheques at a rate of 10% higher than the average market price, and they spend a little more generously on the road, and we are not short of that. Wen Desi said lightly.

He still hasn't said a sentence, that is: "If you don't want to be a Chinese and don't want to leave, then go to labor reform for a lifetime." "Of course, the placement of cyborg undercover agents in these immigrants is the proper meaning, so there is no need to say more.

"The infrastructure construction of the three old places of Anxi, Mobei and Andong must keep up, these places have a vast area and extremely poor infrastructure. Especially in Mobei and Andong, most areas are permafrost, and if the traffic conditions do not improve, few people will want to go anywhere......"

Anxi, Mobei, and Andong are the names given to the new territories that have been recaptured from Russia at present, and since these places have not yet been formally established as provinces, they are temporarily referred to by this name. Needless to say, "Ansi" refers to a large part of Central Asia, the Orenburg region plus the eastern bank of the lower Volga River and other parts of Europe.

"Mobei" refers to those areas north of Outer Mongolia, roughly starting from Novosibirsk Oblast and bounded by 30 kilometers south of the Trans-Siberian Railway to Ust-Kut, which is all south of China. It mainly includes the Altai region (including the Altai Territory and the Altai Republic) occupied by the former Russia, Khakassia, most of the south of Kemerovo, the south of Krasnoyarsk, most of Irkutsk, Transbaikal, Buryatia, and the area west of the Lena River in Yakutia.

"Anton" refers to the outer northeast and all the regions east of the Lena River in Yakutia, including the Russian division of Amur, Khabarovsk, most of Yakutia, Primorye, Sakhalin, Magadan, Chukotka and Kamchatka.

These places add up to about 1258. 720,000 square kilometers, the whole of West Asia and the entire east of Siberia are all in hand, but although these territories are large, the degree of development is pitiful, and the Central Asian side is better. That half of Siberia is a nightmare, with nearly 6 million square kilometers of tundra and an appallingly harsh environment.

"It takes at least 10 years for this kind of harsh environment to be fully digested, and more than 15 years to produce benefits worth seeing. This is the conclusion of the expert group.

"If you want to get rich, build roads first", this is a universal truth, no matter how good things are without transportation, they can't come out. Whether it is immigration or industrial development, there must be a way first.

In contrast, the conditions in Central Asia are much better, except for the more than 400,000 square kilometers of mountainous areas in the Pamir Plateau, which is difficult to repair, most of the territory is plains, and the difficulty of building roads is not high. Maozi originally had a good railway foundation here, and the railway from Orenburg to Tashkent and then to Ashgabat in Turkmenistan was opened to traffic in 1904. Later, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to facilitate trade with Russia, two Sino-Russian trade railways were built successively.

In fact, when the People's Liberation Army (PLA) crossed the border into Central Asia, it was moving from Xinjiang and Persia to Central Asia by railway, which was divided into three parts: northern, central, and southern, and steadily extended to the depths of the newly occupied territory at a rate of one to five kilometers per day.

Originally, I had to pay attention to the sabotage of the guerrillas, and I could only work at one point, and after peace talks with the Red Russia, now I have no worries at all, and I can let it go. As a result, a large number of large airships, construction materials and personnel were transferred to the construction site, and these railways are now being built in the same way as the previous railways in China, according to the construction method of multi-section construction, each railway is a dozen or even dozens of points, and repaired to both sides at the same time. This method is extremely fast, and in flat steppe areas like Kazakhstan, as long as it is not for the special situation of bridges and culverts, dozens or even hundreds of kilometers can be repaired every day.

This method of multi-stage construction is not an invention of Mr. Wen, but few people can imitate it in this era. Because this use of this method requires several conditions, first of all, sufficient funds, sufficient construction materials and labor, and sufficient means of delivery, and only a few top powers can meet these conditions. But this is not enough, in addition to these conditions, accurate surveying and mapping technology is also needed, otherwise when the two sides of the railway meet, it will be embarrassing to find one high and one low. In this era, only Mr. Wen has such accurate testing technology on the whole earth.

At present, the construction of the railway in Anxi (Central Asia) is progressing smoothly, but Mobei and Andong are quite troublesome, and building a railway in the permafrost is a very high-tech and money-burning thing even in the 21st century. Well, for Mr. Wen, there is no problem in technology, but the climate is the most fatal, and you can only work for half a year at most in those hard places, and even three to four months in those places close to the Arctic Circle.

But no matter how difficult it is, it must be repaired, and only when the road is built can there be hope for development, and if the road is not built, there is no hope at all.

On September 30, representatives of the Bukhara Khanate and the Khiva Khanate announced in Hanjing the "voluntary annexation to China", which was welcomed by Wen Dehei. The world powers have reacted indifferently to this, they have long been mentally prepared for this kind of thing, and the fate of these two former protectorates of Tsarist Russia has been sealed after they were sold.

After the Chinese people just celebrated the eighth anniversary of the National Day, there was news in South Asia that the Nepal People's Party (NPP) launched an armed coup last month to overthrow the Shah dynasty. On 8 October, the leader of the BJP, Girija Chanda, proclaimed the deposition of the monarchy and the establishment of a socialist republic. On October 12, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that it recognized the regime and established diplomatic relations with it. Subsequently, a group of younger Chinese brothers, such as Persia, Arabia, Siam, Afghanistan, etc., also recognized the Republic of Nepal as the legitimate government.

On 19 October, the Republic of Nepal announced its membership in the Human Revolutionary Alliance, becoming the fifth member of the organization. Most of the great powers were indifferent to this, there was no way, they really didn't have the energy to pay attention to this kind of thing now, and even Britain pinched its nose and admitted it.

At a time when China is making a fortune, the European war is becoming more and more intense. Originally, the United States' entry into the war made the balance of the two sides swing in favor of the Entente, but after Russia withdrew from the war, the shape was unfavorable to the Entente, and without Russia as an opponent, the Allies could put most of their troops and resources into the Western Front, especially after Germany and Austria released Ukraine, Poland and Poland, they could use more troops and materials.

Both sides suffered heavy losses, but it was difficult to ride the tiger. By the end of October, the number of Allies killed in battle had reached more than 10.25 million, including 3.78 million in Russia, 1.37 million in France, 1.55 million in Britain, 1.07 million in the United States (650,000 blacks), 760,000 in Japan, 250,000 in Serbia, about 170,000 in Belgium, and 30,000 in Portugal. The British and French colonies also suffered heavy losses, with 330,000 killed in India, 150,000 in Canada, 120,000 in Australia, 110,000 in South Africa, about 270,000 in other British colonies, 180,000 in French Indochina, and 110,000 in other French colonies. More than 20 million people were wounded, another 180,000 were taken prisoner, and more than 11 million civilians died, bringing the number of wounded to at least 25 million.

The casualties of the Central Powers were fewer, with more than 980,000 killed in Germany, more than 1.1 million in Austria-Hungary, 860,000 in Italy, 380,000 in Turkey, 130,000 in Poland, 70,000 in Romania, more than 80,000 in Bulgaria, 50,000 in Ukraine, more than 20,000 in Poland, and more than 140,000 in the German colonies. A total of 3.71 million officers and soldiers were killed, more than 20,000 were taken prisoner, and 8 million were wounded. In addition, 2 million civilians were killed and more than 5 million wounded.

In addition, these figures do not include the indigenous casualties caused by the colonial uprising, and there are no accurate figures for the losses in those places, well, Ah San and Hei Shu are not counted as adults.

At this point, the two sides are already fighting for consumption, and it depends on who can't hold it first. Originally, in the eyes of the Entente, it must be that the Allies couldn't hold it first, but they didn't think that Wei Er would actually come to release a satellite, and suddenly brought himself a big ticket and cannon fodder, and the most important thing is the source of resources. With the supply of the countries of Eastern Europe, the supplies of the Central Powers were immediately replenished in large quantities. In addition, there was Red Russia, in the "Brest Treaty" they wanted Germany and Austria to pay 6 billion marks in war reparations, but Germany and Austria did not want them to give cash, but let them use all kinds of materials to offset the account.

Of course, the main thing is that China is the one who makes money from the war, and the warring parties are desperately selling things, and the Allies rely on the looted gold to sell on sale, so that they now do not see the slightest sign of lack of materials in their country.

So the Entente finally couldn't bear it, and at the end of October, they once again united to find a showdown with China. China was required to join the Entente to declare war on the Allies, and if it really did not work, it would also stop selling supplies to the Allies.

After discussions, the Chinese top leaders all felt that the current state of affairs had reached its limit, and the patience of the Entente countries had bottomed out. So China, as they proposed, said that it was okay to cut off the material trade with the Allies, but the Entente had to make amends.

"Ambassadors, these conditions are the demands of our country, and if we are to join the Entente, this is the least sincerity. We have no intention of getting too involved in Africa and Europe, but our interests in Asia must be guaranteed......" Lu Zhengxiang knocked on the table and said with a calm face: "Otherwise, we will not be able to explain to the people......"

"It is absolutely impossible for the British Empire to cede Sarawak, the Malay Peninsula and Burma!" said the British ambassador, Jurdian.

"Yes, Indochina and Madagascar are important interests of France and cannot be transferred to China...... French Ambassador Immanuel Kant also said.

Both ambassadors cursed in their hearts. Nima, open your mouth to ask for territory, how greedy are these Chinese Yankees for land?

"I must remind you that without sufficient compensation, it will be difficult for our parliament to renounce its neutrality and join the proposal of the Entente ......," Lu Zhengxiang said unhurriedly. Hmph, it's a dream to take advantage of a dime! Anyway, it's not Lao Tzu who is in a hurry.

Seeing that the two sides were getting more and more stiff as they talked, US Ambassador to China Ruinz hurriedly came out to play a round: "Ladies and gentlemen, the conditions can be negotiated. Mr. Deputy Minister, Mr. Two Ambassadors, our just cause needs China's strength very much, but the interests of Britain and France also need to be considered......

"China is an important force for world peace, and its requirements can also be considered. Japanese Ambassador Yukichi Kohata was also on the side to help play the round.

The United States and Japan are the most relaxed, and anyway, China doesn't want them to give them what they want, so they are generous to others and happy to fight peace. Moreover, China, the United States, and Japan, the three countries that were originally very different from each other, have actually become closer and closer in the past two years. Well, this is mainly because everyone has carved up the broken belongings of old Europe, which is the friendship of "sharing the dirt together". Therefore, there are no eternal enemies between countries, and there are no permanent friends.

Of course, there is also a very important point, that is, they can't stand it anymore. There is a second virtue with China's constant blood transfusion, which is really difficult to fight.

"Then the British Empire can consider ceding Sarawak and Brunei to your country, no more. Zhu Erdian thought about it and quoted his reserve price.

Lu Zhengxiang shook his head: "This is too little, we can do without the Malay Peninsula and Myanmar, but at least we must add British Papua and the Solomon Islands ......"

Another representative, Gu Weijun, was also bargaining with the French. "We don't want land in Africa, but Indochina is necessary, and this is our homeland......"

This group of well-dressed diplomats were like vendors in the vegetable market, arguing with red faces and red ears, breaking copper plate after copper plate.
