The policy promulgated by the Nationalist government in the new occupation areas was actually very simple, and was roughly divided into two categories: one was to drastically reduce the original series of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. This is actually similar to when he was in China, when he was in China, it was because Yan Shao cut a large number of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, especially agricultural taxes and other taxes that brought great pressure to ordinary people, and the Chinese people at that time regarded Yan Shao and the national defense army led by Yan Shao as hope, and finally made Yan Shao support Yan Shao one-sided when Yan Shao and Yuan Shikai competed.

Later, when they fought with the Japanese and sent expeditionary forces to Europe, it was precisely because they realized the benefits of this that they were willing to support the national government...

It can even be said that it supported almost all the policies promulgated by the national government.

It is also because of this relationship that the national government will find a way in this regard after arriving in the new occupied territory. Because according to the experience of the national government, this is indeed the best way to win more people's hearts and minds in the short term.

It is also true that these Iraqis and Kuwaitis did not have a good life in the past, either under the Turkish Empire or under the British. Because they are not core regions, these regions need to provide a large amount of supplies to the Turkish Empire or the British almost every year, and the above two countries will definitely not have any mercy on these regions.

The former, since it is not a core area, then it is natural that you can be bullied at will. Moreover, it was a very difficult and corrupt period for Turkey at that time. Think about it, the massacre of Armenians could have begun, let alone something else...

As for the British. Don't forget, for them, almost all the people in the Middle East can be called infidels.

Since it is a pagan, it is natural that everyone will be punished.

Of course, since the British are gentlemen, it is certainly impossible to do as violently as the Turks. But it seems to be a difficult thing to get them to treat these Kuwaitis well—————— after all, they are all infidels, so naturally there is no need to be gentle or anything. All in all, no matter what you do, the rougher the better!

——————————————————————————

It is also for this reason that no matter which country. can be said to be miserable. At this time, the Nationalist government suddenly jumped out and announced the abolition of a large number of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. At first, they may not particularly believe it, but when they found out that this was indeed true, the Chinese did not collect too much taxes from them, and many areas with a long period of war and even real exemption from taxes, these people's minds naturally changed.

Ordinary people are simple-minded, so they are easily incited. But because their minds are relatively simple, they are also relatively easy to be moved.

Move?

That's right! Move!

The fight is because no one has ever treated them like this before. So after having such a reference as China, Britain and Turkey in the past are naturally easy to forget—————— anyway, the first two did not regard themselves as their territory and subjects, in this case, they naturally have no reason to die for them!

In addition to these exemptions from excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the government has also waived a large number of onerous laws and prohibitions. Of course, the Communist government is also relatively smart, so it has not repealed those laws related to religion in a short period of time, at least not in a short period of time, after all, the prestige of the Nationalist government in the local area is not very stable, and the most important point is that these are all religious madmen, and the people living in this area are also some more radical religious elements.

If they really want to repeal the laws related to their canons, who knows if they will go crazy, although it is possible that they will not, but it is better to be safe.

So what they repealed were only some unreasonable laws that were carefully selected by experts and promulgated by the original British government and the Turkish Empire. These laws were already a nuisance to the locals, but now that the national government has repealed them and treated them with considerable respect, they naturally agree with the national government.

At present, in a few provinces in the Middle East, there is basically no market for anything else, except for some elements who are waving the flag for national independence. After all, the Turks and the British are really not very popular. They would rather let Chinese rule over them than hope that one day they would return to the rule of the Turks and the British—————— especially the Turks, at least the British will still treat them as human beings, but the Turks are truly cruel when dealing with their enemies.

——————————————————————————

Under the policy of the Nationalist Government, a large number of people in the new territory soon began to turn to the Nationalist Government—————— at least they would not take the initiative to make trouble with the Nationalist Government.

That's right, making trouble, in the past, they would still make trouble with the National Social Government from time to time, and find a way to drag the National Social Government back or something. But now the situation quickly improved, and the most unexpected thing for the Nationalist government was that it was not only ordinary people who did not want to make trouble with them, but even some of the upper echelons.

In fact, it is not a very strange thing, after all, in this period of the most corrupt period of the Turkish Empire, let alone ordinary people, even these upper classes are the objects of oppression.

It's just that those ordinary people are only facing ordinary tax officials or management, or even grassroots people such as police, and those upper-level people, perhaps because of their status, the targets of blackmailing them are also relatively upper-level—————— at least below the county magistrate's level It should be unlikely.

This is a common situation, and it is also true in times of war.

It's like in times of war in China. Aren't those so-called big families always coming to fight the autumn breeze? It's just that under normal circumstances, these big families still stick to it, but if they encounter more bastards. That's a problem...

In some cases, these so-called big investors are even likely to be extorted to the point of bankruptcy.

Of course, usually this kind of people are not particularly hot, and some will have some relationships within the government, and usually there will be fewer such people, but after all, not all big families are like this, so when many people are looking at these upper-class people with envy. Many times, I don't see their sad side.

And then, as I said earlier, in the past, it was the upper class, and it was usually the target of blackmail. It is also for this reason that these laws of the national government naturally benefit them.

——————————————————————————

It is precisely because the laws of the national government are also beneficial to them, so after the national government promulgated the law. They have also opted for certain compromises.

So in the case of more cooperation in both aspects. Although there are some national independence elements, or something, but in reality? The possibility that they can make trouble in the Middle East is becoming less and less.

And the rule of the national government can also be said to be more and more stable.

Naturally, the cost of doing so will certainly not be small, after all, if nothing else, the entire population of the Middle East does not dare to say it. Eighteen million must be there, so many taxes are exempted at once. Naturally, it can't be an easy thing to do. What's more, Mesopotamia has just been warned, and it always takes some money to rebuild—————— how can you rebuild without money, and in the case of exempting local taxes, the only way for the national government to do so seems to be to get some money from the mainland and come back...

The rest seems to be much simpler...

After exempting many of the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes of the Middle Eastern provinces, as well as exempting some necessary taxes—————— of course it was only temporary, but only because of the fact that Mesopotamia had suffered too much war, so in order to be able to restore the region, it was exempted for a short time, which was really only a short time, only a mere three years.

Having said that, it has already made many parliamentarians in the country unhappy, after all, in three years, they will not be able to get any tax revenue from the Middle East, but they will have to pay a lot of money, which is not a happy thing, not to mention that the region does not seem to have the value to do so.

Therefore, some parliamentarians soon proposed that tax exemption is possible, but it is necessary that three years, one year is enough, and some even proposed to simply abolish this policy that has just been promulgated not long ago—————— perhaps in their opinion, the decision of the national government is not as important as their mouth, and the decree and policy that has just been promulgated will be changed overnight, which will deal a big blow to the prestige of the government, even with the butt It is conceivable.

But maybe they didn't care much about the prestige of the national government, after all, the current Congress, and their members of Congress, are no different from soy sauce makers. Since it's just some soy sauce beating, why not just do something embarrassing to the upper echelons of the government.

What's more, they don't feel that there is anything wrong with their decision.

After all, now they can be said to be raising those people in the Middle East for nothing, in this case, who would be happy? Moreover, since they are elected by the localities, they must be responsible for the localities, and the local taxes are used for the right path, not for these people who have not seen them and do not know when they will become foreigners.

Therefore, it is a very responsible thing for them to put obstacles in the way now.

——————————————————————————

Of course, Yan Shao knows how much money the government will lose by doing so, but Yan Shao knows one thing better, that is, the people's hearts are definitely not something that can be bought with money.

Now is an important period for the locals of the Middle East Province to belong to the hearts of the people, and at this time, how much the prestige of the government will be lost, even if Yan Shao thinks about it with his knees, he can think of it, so when the parliamentarians below think about it with their toes, Yan Shao vetoed their mention without thinking about it.

If the provinces of the Middle East are not of much value in themselves. Perhaps Yan Shao would have agreed with their proposal, but this is not the case, and the Middle Eastern provinces are not only of great value. And the value is absolutely unimaginable.

At this time, if you don't pay attention to buying people's hearts, when this value is highlighted, whether the people on this land will still be rare in your purchases, but it may not be a thing.

Of course, there is another very important reason why locals will buy and are willing to be bought, and this reason is simple. It is precisely because during the occupation period the Nationalist government did not wantonly kill innocent people—————— and pinched in the occupation, no matter how many resistance groups there were, the Nationalist government did not carry out massacres. Although in many cases a village is always the whole village, and sometimes it can even be said that the entire town disappears, it has been proved that the national government did not kill innocents indiscriminately. Those people are simply because they support the Resistance. So they were relocated to another area, where the living conditions were very poor, but at least they were not dead, and that poor conditions were the price they deserved for supporting the Resistance.

It has to be said that although there are many locals, they did not feel that resisting the Chinese was a wrong thing at all. But when those who supported the Resistance paid the price, they were not surprised. Instead, it is taken for granted, even if it is not. On the contrary, it is something to be surprised by.

It was also because of this that when they learned that they were just sent to a remote area, which was equivalent to the entire village being exiled, they didn't care much about it—————— compared to death, it was already very cheap for them to be exiled.

And now, the time has come to get the debriefing.

Although in the past, the government did spend a lot of money to buy hearts and minds, but now is the time to reap the rewards. At least once Kuwait's oil fields are put into production, the money invested by the government will be rewarded in batches.

Naturally, since they can serve in the national government, I believe that there will not be a few people who are mentally retarded or idiots, and they will definitely get some news from the outside world, and the most striking of these news is probably that the national government has already discovered that there are oil fields here, so when it asks to join the European battlefield, it will take the initiative to submit a request to the United Nations to ask for the division of Iraq and Kuwait...

If this were not the case, there seemed to be no way to explain why the Communist government would ask for such a place in the middle of nowhere. For this rumor, the current Guoshe government itself is naturally skeptical, after all, these ordinary officials in the Middle East provinces are ordinary people themselves, maybe Wang Xingnian can still get some news, but their words are really not clear for a long time.

In particular, the Secret Service Bureau has invested a considerable amount of force here—————— which is not surprising, after all, if it is known that there is oil here, then there will probably be riots in the entire Middle East, and in this case, it is difficult to say whether even the Washington Conference and the Commune Government can safely communicate with Guò.

Therefore, the only way for the government to do so was to block information from the entire Middle East.

Almost all oil-related news has been blocked.

Even the poems written by some of the Sauchers in the course of their explorations were sealed up in envelopes containing them in the safe of the branch office of the Middle Eastern Provinces, intending to return them when the news was announced.

And the Special Affairs Bureau has very direct branches in some exploration bases. And it's so blatant to hang out the signboard of the Special Affairs Bureau.

——————————————————————————

What is the Special Bureau, the Special Bureau?

If there were still people who were not clear about the storage of the special affairs bureau in the past, then as the storage of the special affairs bureau was exposed more and more, people's understanding of the special affairs bureau became clearer and clearer. At least now even a three-year-old knows that the Secret Service is the largest spy agency in the world, and this agency itself has a lot of intelligence information, and it is also good at assassination, subversion, and sabotage...

Especially considering that there are a large number of guerrilla and resistance groups in Southeast Asia that are behind the support of the Secret Service, and the Washington Post in the United States even called the Secret Service "a group of people who brought about war".

I can't help but say. This assessment is quite appropriate, at least when it is active in Southeast Asia, the Special Affairs Bureau has indeed brought some trouble to the local area. Almost every time the Secret Service is active in Southeast Asia. There will be a lot of attacks, and these attacks will take a lot of attention from the local government, and at the same time, because of the war, a lot of destruction will also happen, and then there will be a lot of deaths and a series of other things...

No doubt. Such an act could have been considered a war criminal in later generations, but in this era, it is a relatively ordinary and normal thing. At least for people of this era. War has become somewhat commonplace.

Even some of the Allied and Allied soldiers who had recently retired from the battlefields of Europe could not react for quite some time after they had been transformed from muddy trenches into soft beds, after all, the gap between them was inevitably too great.

——————————————————————————

For the people of the exploration team. Mixed in with such a well-known organization as the Secret Service Bureau. It's definitely a bit uncomfortable. At least when the people of the exploration team were carrying out their work, as long as they thought that there were people from the Special Affairs Bureau watching not far away, they would have an uncomfortable feeling.

After all, this kind of person usually prefers freedom, and many experts and scholars also prefer to despise authority or something, at least for them, the so-called authority is actually nothing to look at...

In the same way, they prefer to work in free conditions. At this time, there is a group of spies next to their place of work, and they can be free, and that's the really strange thing.

But then again. It is precisely because of the fact that the Special Affairs Bureau is so blatant, so the people in the exploration department will be cautious all the time, for fear of being arrested by the Special Affairs Bureau because of the leakage of news—————— for many people, since they arrived in this land full of sand, they have heard a lot of rumors, such as so-and-so, because of how and how the Special Affairs Bureau was arrested, and because of the confidential relationship, so these people basically have no possibility of being released.

Of course, this is certainly not the case, these are actually rumors that the Special Affairs Bureau deliberately walked, the purpose is to make these exploration experts have more awe of the Special Affairs Bureau, and even in order to achieve this purpose, the Department of the Special Affairs Bureau also made an independent restaurant in the office building, and there is a separate car door behind their building, so that even if you go out, you don't have to go the same way with the exploration team.

No way, even if the Special Affairs Bureau is a department full of majesty, after a long time, if you always have frequent contact, this kind of awe will slowly fade, so if you want to maintain this kind of awe, the only way is to let them reduce contact as much as possible, as long as a qiē is still hidden in the mystery, then the awe will naturally not be affected.

It's just that in this case, there may be no problem in a month or two, but after a long time, the problem will naturally follow.

Not to mention anything else, at least if a neighbor has been living next to your house, at the beginning you have always heard rumors that this person is very scary and scary, and so on, at the beginning you will definitely be more afraid of this neighbor, but after a long time, or nothing has happened, then you will feel that in fact, this neighbor does not seem to be a big deal.

Normally, you wouldn't even dare to pass by his door, but now, maybe you'll dare to dance in front of them.

This is the reason why I have been in contact with it for a long time.

But if you can break a little news for them from time to time, then this awe can stay for a long time, at least let them understand that the majesty of the Special Agents is not just stored in a neighbor who doesn't talk much, but in other things, other more important things...

——————————————————————————

In fact, in order to ensure their majesty in the local area, the Special Affairs Bureau did take great pains, often making up some exploration agencies such as so-and-so, and found some leakers. And because of this, the news of the other party's arrest came out.

Of course, these must be fake, but there are many exploration teams in Kuwait's Ministry of Energy. Many people can't tell whether these rumors are true or false, and even if they know the name, they have no way to investigate, because since they can enter the exploration team, then at least one thing is explained, and that is that they are all strictly confidential, basically except for their respective exploration teams. The other exploration teams, they don't even know the name of the opposing team leader, let alone ordinary team members.

And in the case of not being able to distinguish the real from the fake. Naturally, they are more likely to be fooled.

Of course, it is certainly impossible for the Secret Service to pin the possibility of preventing information leakage on such an inexplicable deterrent, which is usually believed only by a three-year-old child. So actually, except for that one on the bright side. In fact, in addition to making up some fake news. Or pretend to be cool to scare people—————— for example, the secret service branch that has been closed all the time and looks very gloomy, just when everyone is idle, suddenly the door is pushed open, and then I saw a few people in black trench coats walking quickly to the exploration team building, and then walked to the exploration team Zhang's office with a gloomy face, and after saying something to the exploration team Zhang, he walked away with a gloomy face. Completely ignore the others on the way. By the time they got back to the Secret Service building, the others started talking about it. At this time, the exploration team Zhang used a microphone to broadcast and claimed that there was nothing serious. Please, it's not a big deal, the people in the Special Affairs Bureau have already put on such a dead face, and now you tell people that it's not a big deal, do you think people are likely to believe it?

Of course it's impossible~

So while there was a lot of discussion, it was inevitable that the members of these exploration teams would also be in awe of the Special Affairs Bureau.

On the other hand, in fact, these people who are not from the Secret Service and the captain of the exploration team are playing tricks, because maybe the people in the Secret Service have some military backgrounds, at least they know the rules of secrecy or something, but you can't expect the same from the people of the exploration team, even if this person is still the captain of the exploration team.

So the problem arose, and in order to make sure that nothing happened, they had to go along with the captain and not tell him.

So when even the captain thought that the matter was true, the entire exploration team was deceived by the Special Affairs Bureau, and really thought that the Special Affairs Bureau was such a murderous organization.

——————————————————————————

In fact, there may be leaks, but it is absolutely impossible for them to be as frequent as those announced by the Special Intelligence, after all, if they are really going to die so often, it is impossible to insist on releasing them after the victory of the Washington Treaty—————— whether it is Iraq or Kuwait, but they are relatively populous areas.

Kuwait, in particular, may not be able to compare with Iraq, but one thing is certain, that is, Kuwait is relatively densely populated. After all, in such a small country, the population of the whole country will seem to be relatively concentrated, even if it is only slightly larger...

In addition to the above intimidation method, the Special Affairs Bureau also has a method, which is also very simple, that is, mixing sand in the exploration team to ensure that the exploration team can have very timely information. If someone really leaks information intentionally or unintentionally, then at this time, this person who is involved in the exploration team can also play a very huge role, at least in a role that ordinary people cannot imagine, and it is with these means that the national government can hold out until the end of the Washington Conference...

——————————————————————————

As if noticing the gazes of the people around him, Wang Xingnian smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

At this time, of course, he could tell the people around him that this time it was indeed the Nationalist government that had cheated the British, because the Nationalist government had already known that there would definitely be oil here, but the Nationalist government still pretended not to know anything, and singled it out and planned to deceive the British.

And in the end, it really made the Commune government successful, at least the British were indeed deceived by the success of the pit. It is also because of this relationship that the British have lost their most precious goose that lays golden eggs, while the national government can soar into the sky and fly leopards.

But if it is announced now. It can also cause some trouble, such as the locals.

The reason why the locals are so cooperative is simply because they feel that the Chinese are indeed much stronger than the original Turks or British. And the Chinese expressed a qiē. It also makes them feel that the Chinese government is indeed trying to help them, and at the same time, as it says in the propaganda, it is trying to find a way to let them live a good life.

And this kind of assistance is absolutely gratuitous, the kind that does not have any demand.

The problem is that if the locals had known about it at this time, the Chinese government would have known about the oil here. So whether the locals will be so cooperative, it's really a very difficult thing to say.

————————————————————————

At least, in Yan Shao's opinion. If someone in the country of Sweden has deceived himself ruthlessly, then it is absolutely impossible for him to forgive the other party, and it is the same now, not to mention that the other party is still a very radical group of people. Now offend them. Even if Yan Shao was not killed by them, of course, they would never have such a chance—————— but at least it would be no problem to bring some trouble to Yan Shao.

Therefore, no matter what happens to this secret now, it is the kind that can never be disclosed, but even so, the benefits in this regard have already moved the position of the national government.

Naturally, such news is already known even to some low-level officers and officials, let alone all over the world. Especially in areas like Kuwait. In Kuwait and other regions, there has really been a slight wavering because of this relationship.

Merely. As I said before, there is no one in this world who can really determine where oil is. At least until you drill into it, it's hard to come up with a charter.

So, although the comments can be said to be all over the place, not everyone believes the rumors, especially the locals, who believe what they have seen with their own eyes.

What is seen with your own eyes? It is the policies that the Chinese, especially the Chinese government officials, give them, and the actions they see in peacetime.

Different from those local officials in the past, although these officials sent by the Chinese government are young, they are full of vitality, and each of them has a feeling that can be said to be approachable. And it was directly tied to the neighborhood, and a public trial meeting came—————— which was also transmitted from China, according to domestic instructions, no matter what happened in the Middle East, the main purpose of Yiqiē was to buy people's hearts.

In other words, no matter what you do, you are buying people's hearts and minds.

If some local government officials have been caught, and these government officials do have some bad habits. Then they can have a public trial meeting, let the local people conduct a public trial, and then see if these people are just more grumpy on weekdays, or they have a bad character, or they are black sheep left over from the past.

I have to say that the effect of this one is still very good, at least every time a lot of people can be tried publicly, and the lively scene at that time also made the local ordinary people full of good feelings for the national government—————— after all, this is a government specially designed for them...

——————————————————————————

As mentioned earlier, it is precisely because of this qiē behavior of the national government that the local people have a lot of trust in the national government, and some even think that this is not bad, after all, only in this way will the national government be willing to continue to invest in this area, develop this area, so that everyone can live a good life.

Of course, at the same time, there were many people who, for this purpose, began to propagate a series of things, such as national self-determination, or the rebuilding of the Turkish Empire, in short, they wanted to take back all the benefits, but this was obviously impossible, at least not with the Nationalist Government, and at the same time those who had already lived through the Turkish Empire.

Not to mention anything else, after the demise of Manqin, in addition to those old and young, who else has seen other people reminisce about the Manchu Dynasty, or even want to rebuild the Manchu Dynasty—————— at least in Yan Shao's memory, there is only one Zhang Xun who does this, and also does this.

I have to say that this product may indeed be a clown, of course, it can also be said to be an ordinary idiot. But his loyalty to the Manchus is genuine, and this is probably the only thing he is valuable—————— although the only thing that is valuable is actually just the so-called foolish loyalty.

However, it is clear that at least on the Turkish side, there are really few people who will miss the Turkish Empire.

————————————————————————

After inspecting the oil well and seeing a large amount of oil flowing out of it, Wang Xingnian walked to the side, gently knocked on a filled oil drum with his cane, and then opened his mouth to look at a man next to him.

"Captain Wang, how is the oil output of the oil field now? Will it be able to meet the targets given by the government? ”

"Rest assured, there is absolutely no problem." After gently tapping the oil drum with his hand, Captain Wang, who could be said to be the same as Wang Xingnian five hundred years ago, nodded slightly. "At present, the exploitation of the oil field is very smooth, because we have selected the location before the oil field is developed, and at the same time, we can produce a large amount of crude oil at the beginning, as I just said, our crude oil production has reached more than 20 million tons. If this oil field is excluded, crude oil production can even be increased to a very staggering level, reaching more than 30 million tons, this figure is already even more amazing than Mexico, counting several oil fields in the country, 40 million is absolutely no problem, and this can already be called the second in the world. At least with that, there is absolutely no problem for our country to become the world's second largest producer..."

What Captain Wang said is the current situation, although these oil fields have just been developed, but because the early exploration team has already chosen the location. What is particularly important is that the exploration team has already set up all the derricks, and it can even be said that they only need to drill down, and everything left can be easily solved...

So even though it's just getting started, what about it? A large amount of crude oil has been mined for the first time...

The amount of crude oil in Kuwait, including the current production capacity of other wells outside this field, may not have reached the standard of 30 million for the whole of Kuwait, but at least it is very close to the standard of 30 million.

If you count some of the oil fields currently being developed in China, 40 million is not impossible.

But...

"Pure crude oil is not particularly valuable, but the real value is actually the refining of crude oil," Captain Wang explained. Mr. Governor, you should know that the Rockefeller family is naturally huge, but the reason why they are really called the oil empire is not because of the multiplier, (to be continued......
