With the recovery of the Outer Northeast, the whole country is boiling, and Yan Shao's reputation in the country has become unprecedented―――――― any country that has been bullied will be eager for the appearance of heroes, and for the Chinese people at this time, Yan Shao is obviously such a hero...

The rise of Yan Shao's prestige has made many people happy, but some people feel a little hopeless. This kind of person is either against Yan Shao, or against the current system...

The former is easy to understand, there are always many careerists in this world, Yan Shao is standing on it, there is no doubt that he will block the way of many people, as for the latter...

For those idealists, 'republic' has always been their tireless pursuit. At the moment, this kind of one-word hall is not something they can agree with, after all, it is autocracy for them...

It's just that in the past, there were still some people who were willing to listen to what they had to say, then as China became stronger, fewer and fewer people were willing to listen to them, especially those young students...

The so-called students are usually people who are easily carried away by their enthusiasm. If in the past, they were willing to listen, then with the big victories one after another, these people are no longer willing to listen to the so-called 'republican' path in the mouth of those idealists...

"Since autocracy can make the country strong and the people live a good life, then autocracy is good, why do you have to go to a 'republic', at the beginning it was said that it was going to be a 'republic', but as a result, life became worse and worse, and then it was changed to autocracy that became better, and it was always not in order to achieve the so-called 'republic'. Let's go back to the hard days of the past..."

These are the words of a certain university professor who was promoting 'republic' on the street, and one of the office workers on the way...

And this remark was also approved by passers-by.

After all, the so-called republic was really not very good back then. The good republics have simply turned into a warlord scuffle, and those local warlords even collect taxes at will in order to get military spending, and many places have collected taxes for the next few years in just one year...

And...

The more 'revolutionary' the provinces, the more so, on the contrary, the 'rotten' Yuan Shikai is relatively stable.

It is only six years since the Xinhai Revolution, even if some young students do not remember much about the events. But ordinary adults remember the events of that time clearly.

If at the beginning there were people who thought that there was some truth in what these scholars and professors said, now no one wants to support them.

After all, no one wants to live a good life, but they have to try what they call a 'republic'...

And public opinion is not all in the hands of these people. At least the Yushi Group itself has its own media―――――― which is probably similar to some game companies in later generations, which are simply portals, and then make a news network or something by themselves...

In fact, in later generations, such news sites were more popular than those regular ones...

As the largest business group in China. Yushi Group has its own public opinion power all over the world. After all, public opinion propaganda is also a very important part of business competition. In China, Yushi Group probably controls more than a dozen newspapers...

In addition to daily news reports, this kind of newspaper is to carry out implicit propaganda of its group's products, and help Yan Shao occupy the commanding heights in public opinion...

And when it came to arguing with other newspapers that opposed Yan Shao, they were clever enough not to argue about which was better, autocracy or republicanism, but simply stated a fact.

That is, if a republic is realized, the local councils and the National Assembly will be given great power. Usually the members of the parliament are local celebrities, entrepreneurs, landlords, etc...

In the former, selection also requires money. It is clear that the little money given by the government will not be able to meet the needs of these parliamentarians, so they need support from the outside. And as long as they accept support. It is necessary to give something back in every way...

Later, the newspaper elaborated on a series of numbers, saying that in the past few years, Congress has been trying to find a way to legalize 'political donations', and some lawmakers even think that there should not be a cap on 'donations', in other words, they can collect as much as they want...

If it weren't for the government's suppression, I'm afraid this mention would have been passed through guò long ago, and if a republic had been achieved, then it would have been obvious that this mention would have been passed in the shortest possible time.

As for the latter...

Do you believe that entrepreneurs and landlords have become parliamentarians and say that they don't get some benefits for themselves?

Anyway, ordinary workers and peasants would not believe it, not the citizens of the cities, not even the students in schools...

Although there are many people in later generations who claim that political donation is an inevitable phenomenon for maintaining democracy, it is also the spirit of human rights in which the government participates in a democratic society, ensuring the fairness and justice of political activities, and improving the development of democratic government. Honest and honest politicians must also directly or indirectly use political contributions to elect, generally speaking, there is no consideration relationship called government contributions, and there is a consideration relationship that causes collusion between officials and businessmen or the transfer of benefits is called bribery...

However, for the Chinese people, the so-called political donation is a bribe, regardless of whether he has a consideration relationship or not.

Let alone...

Even in the future, it is impossible to distinguish this...

――――――――――――――――――――

It is especially important to note that entrepreneurs or landlords in this era are usually very mean. For example, landlords have always collected at least 50% of the rent in the past, and even as much as 70% at most, while entrepreneurs have worked 10 to 12 hours, squeezing workers for a long time, and only giving them a meager salary...

Well, in fact, Yan Shao's Yushi Group does not give workers very much, but this year is afraid of comparison, compared with foreign countries, Yan Shao's Yushi Group treatment is indeed not very good, but with domestic enterprises ...

Whether it is the eight-hour working day, a sound security system or others, it makes Yushi Group like heaven...

So nothing else is even needed. Just talk about the above two factors, which can already make the vast majority of Chinese people stand on Yan Shao's side...

Especially as Yan Shao's prestige grows higher and higher, there are fewer and fewer media willing to stand up on this matter. After all, even newspapers have to make money. Who would buy their newspapers if they always publish news that is contrary to the will of the people?

Although there is a lot of controversy outside, these have nothing to do with Yan Shao.

After Feng Guozhang's news of the success of the Outer Mongolia operation came back, Yan Shao held a grand celebration banquet in the banquet hall of the presidential palace...

At the banquet, Elinor and the other four attended with Yan Shao, and as Yan Shao's only daughter, Xiaoyu became the focus of the audience.

Isn't there such a saying, it's better to send the old than to the young. The same is true for now.

It's just that the word send, I'm afraid it has to be changed to flatter...

Although Yan Shao and Elainor knew their minds very well, it was difficult to dislike them.

But after the banquet is over. Yan Shao took his family to the top floor of the 'Empire State Building', and this time it was his family's banquet.

Standing on the edge of the topmost floor of the Empire State Building, Yan Shao held his only daughter in both hands. Stretched her out of the guardrail. And then it kept shaking up and down. Below her, it is hundreds of meters in the air, even if it is a car, it is no different from an ant when you look down from here, and at this moment, Yan Xiaoyu, who is still very young and doesn't understand anything at all, is babbling and laughing, and her chubby little hands are waving constantly...

All right. The above situation is just a kind of brain supplement, and it is impossible to occur at all. No matter how big Yan Shao's heart is, no matter how confident he is in his arm strength, it is obviously impossible to hold his only daughter to play this game...

So Yan Shao and Elaline just had a meal on the top floor of the Empire State Building, and then hid back in the house because the weather was getting colder.

As for Yan Xiaoyu, she has only been born for a few months, and she is obviously not suitable for such a cold climate, so at this moment, she is sleeping in the baby room below...

――――――――――――――――――――

After the celebration, a headache also came, first of all, the most headache is not anything else, but the naming of the Outer Northeast. Since the Outer Northeast has been recovered, it is good to have a name, just like the three provinces of the Northeast, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, the area of the Outer Northeast is not small, even if the population is small, it should have its own name, and it cannot continue to be called the Outer Northeast as usual, or ......... One more province behind the Outer Northeast?

Outer Northeast Province, well, that name seems good...

“………”

This is not mentioned for the time being, after the recovery of the Outer Northeast, Yan Shao conveniently met with Duan Qirui and Li Liang and others, and began to discuss the reappearance of Vladivostok and the matter of immigration to the Outer Northeast.

"At the moment, almost all the Russians in the Outer Northeast are in the Outer Northeast, and the current situation in Russia is chaotic and unable to look eastward, so these Russians are relatively stable, but once the situation changes, Russia becomes strong again, or China itself suddenly declines, then a province that is almost entirely Russian..."

Hearing Yan Shao say this, Duan Qirui and the others also seemed a little worried.

In fact, Yan Shao just wanted to make a start for immigrants, after all, after the success of the westward expansion strategy, many people in China would need to immigrate to Siberia. If you can start preparing now, it will be much easier and save some time in the future.

It's just that at the moment, these things can't be told to Duan Qirui and others after all, so they have to use the Outer Northeast as an excuse.

As for the threat from the Russians? To be honest, Yan Shao is really not very afraid, after all, for Russia, Yan Shao does not have a psychological shadow like people in this era. After all, in the later generations of Yan Shao's era, many Chinese people regarded China as a powerful country on the same level as Russia, and some Chinese people only regarded the United States as an adversary.

A polar bear that is dying of hunger...

It's just that unlike Yan Shao's self-confidence, it is difficult for Duan Qirui and others to have such strong self-confidence. After all, the people of their time, including Russia, can be said to have accumulated great power, and many Chinese people even think that the reason why the military operation in the Outer Northeast has succeeded is only because Russia is too weak, and when the Russians take a breath, they must have to settle accounts with China...

It's hard to say that nothing will happen then, so the best thing to do is to emigrate, to the Northeast. So that the number of Chinese people can occupy the vast majority.

Neither Duan Qirui nor Li Liang have any opinions on this, after all, the land has been recovered, and it must be defended.

Just a thing about rebuilding Vladivostok......... In terms of funding. Liang Shiyi almost wanted to commit suicide with a headache...

"President..."Looking at Yan Shao, Liang Shiyi seemed to want to cry. Now that the Ministry of Finance is really out of money, can't we wait a little longer for the rebuilding of the port..."

There is no way, fighting a war is spending money, this military operation in the Outer Northeast looks simple, but it costs a lot of money, especially when Feng Guozhang shelled Vladivostok later......... From a strategic point of view. The choice was successful, but from a financial point of view...

After three days, Feng Guozhang's First Army almost didn't know how much money it had squandered...

This is for the already poor Ministry of Finance. Undoubtedly an act to add insult to injury...

"Then slow down..."Listening to Liang Shiyi's grievances there, Yan Shao said after thinking about it. Let the fortress restore its basic functions first, and as for the fortifications of the forts, you can wait for the financial relief later, and you also have to understand Minister Sa's side. I've heard that the port of Vladivostok is almost out of service..."

"You want me to say. There is Lushun, that kind of port should not be repaired at all..."Hearing Yan Shao's words, Liang Shiyi muttered.

His words represent many voices within the government. Vladivostok is naturally very important to Russia, because it is Russia's first ice-free port in the Far East, which is of great significance, but for China...

After already having seaports such as Arthur. Vladivostok doesn't seem to have a particularly big significance for China...

"I can't say that..."Although he is in his 30s, Yan Shao's ear power has not declined because of perennial indulgence. On the contrary, it is as good as when he was young, at least he heard Liang Shiyi's words clearly just now. "Vladivostok is not only a seaport, but also the largest city in the Outer Northeast, and in the Outer Northeast I believe there is no more suitable place to build a city, we want to gain a firm foothold in the Outer Northeast, there must be a city, 10,000 steps back, a province can not even have a provincial capital, right? What's more, the importance of Vladivostok is also very high, and the materials transported to Siberia can be directly landed through the port of Guò, which is of great significance..."

"Of course, considering the current finances, it is indeed unrealistic to want to completely rebuild the entire city, but it is still necessary to restore the port first, and the cost is not very large..."

Hearing Yan Shao's words, Duan Qirui and the others nodded, and even Liang Shiyi nodded reluctantly.

It's just that when he was persuading Liang Shiyi and the others, what Yan Shao was thinking about at this moment was whether to cancel Vladivostok Fortress and directly turn it into a city.

After owning ports such as Arthur, China's demand for the city of Vladivostok is not as great as that of the Russians, and it only needs to be stored as a seaport, in this case, it seems that there is no need for Vladivostok to continue to exist as a military fortress...

――――――――――――――――――――――

After recovering the Outer Northeast, Yan Shao and the others had only been happy for a few days, and they received a lot of troublesome news. For example, some Russian resistance groups appeared in the Outer Northeast, and often launched attacks on the Wehrmacht garrison in the Outer Northeast, and by this time due to the reconquest of the Outer Northeast, most of the First Army had withdrawn to the Northeast, and only one corps was stationed in the Outer Northeast.

The number of troops has decreased, which is one of the reasons why those who resist dare to be presumptuous.

It is not surprising that there will be resistance, after all, if the Russians did not even have this bit of blood, they would have been bulldozed by Napoleon a long time ago, and where would it be Hitler's turn to finish his unfinished business―――――― and then the two of them fell together, and it seems that they fell on the same thing.

What is really strange is that these resistance elements are not only using Russian weapons, but also Japanese weapons......... Japan's Type 38 rifles, Japanese machine guns, mortars, etc., and even some people wear Japanese military uniforms...

If it weren't for the fact that these people were all tall white men, I am afraid that some people would have thought that they were Japanese soldiers.

At the same time, the navy cruising in the outer northeast waters also sent back some news, such as the fact that it often encounters some strange ships in the nearby waters...

This news also seemed to remind Yan Shao of something...

For example, when Feng Guozhang shelled Vladivostok, there seemed to be some ships of unknown nationality overseas in Vladivostok at that time, just because Sa Zhenbing's navy blockaded the entire port at that time. That's why these 'unknown nationality' ships were not able to enter the harbor...

The qiē of Japanese weapons, ships of unknown nationality, seems to indicate where these weapons came from. Later, the information provided by the Special Affairs Bureau also proved that these weapons were indeed provided by Japan, and the purpose was to create some trouble for China.

It is not surprising that Japan gained nothing in this war, but China, on the other hand, continued to reap some benefits. The economic benefits are not mentioned. First the colonies in the Middle East, followed by the recovery of the Outer Northeast, how large is the territory of the whole of Japan. Although the Outer Northeast is very barren, it is enough to make the Japanese jealous.

Although Japan is not willing to go to war with China right now because of its international situation and, of course, its strength. But that doesn't mean. They don't want to make some trouble for China ...

As a result, the Japanese in Korea contacted a group of resistance elements in various ways, and transported batches of arms to the Russians by guò by sea.

Of course, these Russians also knew that the Japanese were uneasy and well-intentioned, but in the case of isolation, they had no choice but to cooperate with the Japanese.

It's just that...

Although the Japanese have been trying their best to support the Russians, the Russian population in the Outer Northeast is still too small...

In addition, not every Russian was willing to resist, and the result was that although many Russian resistors were armed with Japanese weapons, but. The threat it poses to the national government is almost negligible.

It's just that...

"It's always a bad thing to just let them mess around. It is also possible that the great powers will think that we cannot effectively control the Outer Northeast..."Saying this, a cold glint flashed in Duan Qirui's eyes. "Do you want to give an order for the garrison in the outer northeast to arrest and execute all the resistance elements that are caught..."

This kind of ......... of the older generation All of them are ruthless people, especially those like Duan Qirui who can govern the country and martial arts can fight, and none of them are soft-hearted. During this time, there was a lot of news from the Outer Northeast, although it could not affect the rule of the Nationalist Government in the Outer Northeast at all, but Duan Qirui and the others still felt annoyed.

What is especially important is that after these resistance elements make trouble, they usually cause large losses, and such losses can usually only be dealt with by the local government. The problem is that the local government has just been formed, where is the money to clean up the aftermath, and it is not the government that pays in the end...

The government's finances are already tight, and now they have to wipe their butts, how can Duan Qirui and others endure it...

"It is true that the resistance should be put to death, but ......... How can you distinguish who is a resister and who is not..."Saying that, Yan Shao sighed, this question is a difficult problem even in the future generations.

For example, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Kuomintang and Communist troops behind enemy lines often mixed in with the common people, and the Japanese had a very simple way to kill them.

What about the Americans in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq? It's also very simple, or killing, just like My Lai village in Vietnam, which is a very famous incident. It's no surprise that the Vietnamese resisted at the time, completely indiscriminately women, children, and children, who looked like a bunch of civilians, and as soon as you turned around, they pulled out handfuls of AKs from the fields and shot at you...

The Chinese army in later generations suffered a lot of losses from the Vietnamese in this regard, which also made them understand that the situation between the military and the people is not something that is said abroad...

The Americans' solution to this is much simpler, kill them all, as is the case in My Lai Village, but the Americans are clearly acting a little aggressively. You say that children who are only a few years old or even only teenagers are resistance, which may be understandable, after all, there are young soldiers everywhere, especially in Africa, but you say that babies as young as a few months are too, which is somewhat...

Later, in Afghanistan and Iraq, the Americans' method was simpler, directly using drones, as for whether the bombing killed terrorists or civilians or something......... It's all terrorists anyway...

This is simple and crude, but it also has the consequence that terrorists are never finished. It's not surprising, after all, you wantonly bomb people's places indiscriminately, causing people to die, even if you say that it is to eliminate terrorists and bring democracy to people, the death of your relatives is just a misunderstanding, do you think people will forget the revenge of killing your own relatives because of this? At least Yan Shao definitely won't...

So the more civilians you kill, the more terrorists you have, because when you 'mistakenly kill' this civilian, it means that you have a deep enmity with his relatives.

The same is true of the current situation, although the population of the Outer Northeast is not very large, but if you kill indiscriminately, it is easy to make the Outer Northeast full of terrorists and kill endlessly, because if you kill a person by mistake, it is equivalent to making his family become your enemy.

Terrorists or something, not all of them are because of faith, and many of them are forced out...

――――――――――――――――――――

What Yan Shao needs at the moment is a solution that can solve the problem of resistance in the Outer Northeast, and at the same time prevent indiscriminate killing, and then lead all Russians to resist...

It's definitely not okay to kill them all, after all, it's not a chimpanzee in Africa or a monkey in Southeast Asia, if you kill it, you will kill it, these white-skinned people have a strong sense of superiority, even if it's just Russians, if they are all killed, it will easily cause the reaction of other white-skinned powers, and it is easy to remind people of the war between races...

Although Yan Shao was not afraid of the British and American powers, and did not think that they would come to the door before the end of the war, it was always good to have less trouble, and in the future, considering the Siberian problem, it was not appropriate to cause excessive contradictions...

So...

Gotta come up with a good idea...

It is not a simple matter to solve this problem, and in the end, Yan Shao thought about it for a week before he came up with a good solution, that is, to sit together.

Of course, this joint sitting does not mean that there are resistance elements in a certain village, and the whole village will be killed or something, but...

"Post a notice in the Outer Northeast that if any village dares to harbor the resistance, or if it is a movement of the resistance, then the whole village will be sent to Sakhalin and they will make a fuss..."

After summoning everyone over, Yan Shao faced Duan Qirui and the others.

The outer northeast, of course, also includes Sakhalin.

Just when Feng Guozhang was besieging Vladivostok, a part of the troops landed on Sakhalin Island under the cover of the navy, and recovered the entire northern part of Sakhalin Island, only the south...

At this time, the southern part was under the jurisdiction of Japan, and although Yan Shao wanted to recover the entire Sakhalin Island, China and Japan were allies after all, and it was not a wise choice to act rashly, even if Yan Shao was convinced that Japan was not his opponent at all...

After hearing Yan Shao's words, Duan Qirui and the others also felt that it was a good idea.

Since they want to make trouble, let them make enough trouble, anyway, China's interests in Sakhalin are not great, since they want to make trouble, then get them to Sakhalin to make trouble, even if the island is sunk, it has nothing to do with them ...

And in doing so, he also avoided the hatred of the Russians in the Outer Northeast, after all, Yan Shao didn't kill them, he just exiled them...

"But, what if they are still disobedient..."Gu Weijun, who was standing aside, said with some worry. After all, the south is under the jurisdiction of Japan, and this time the Russians made such a big fuss in the Outer Northeast, and they also have the support of the Japanese, in case they get to the Outer Northeast......... Maybe it's going to be even worse. ”

"!" Hearing Gu Weijun say this, Yan Shao couldn't help but say a dirty word. "If they dare to make trouble again, I will send them all to Iraq!" (To be continued......)
