Expedition to Europe

In fact, Chinese society has always been ruled by people, so "relationships" are very important in Chinese society. If a person has "relationships" and "connections", he will be regarded as having "ability".

Qin Zhiyuan hates this set of things. Even if the intricate network of relationships makes Chinese society look more humane, Qin Zhiyuan also hates all forms of "networks of relationships".

In another time and space, Qin Zhiyuan is powerless to change and can only go with the flow.

But in this time and space, Qin Zhiyuan now has the ability and determination, so he decided to make great efforts to rectify the network of relationships.

In Qin Zhiyuan's view, "humanity" is not reflected in various relationships, nor in various human relationships, but in the humanistic care of the whole society, such as the attitude towards children and the elderly, such as the attitude towards foreign populations, such as the attitude towards the Lan Fang aborigines.

In terms of treating children and the elderly, the Lan Fang government's attitude is tolerant.

In order to optimize the population structure and quickly increase the population, the Lan Fang government has announced a lot of welfare policies for children, such as newborns can enjoy special state subsidies, free medical care, free "nine-year compulsory education", etc.

Of course, a basic link must be pointed out that all rights and obligations are equal.

If Lan Fang's newborns want to enjoy these benefits, they must first be confirmed as Lan Fang citizens, and secondly, they must grow up to be talents needed by Lan Fang in the education system of the Lan Fang government.

This may sound a bit cold, but it is the only way for all societies to operate normally.

For the elderly, this problem is not prominent now, because Lan Fang's citizens are relatively young as a whole, the overall number of elderly people is not large, and because of the traditional customs of Chinese society, the support of the elderly is generally the responsibility of the descendants of the elderly, and the dependence on society is not serious.

Even so, the Lan Fang government still stipulates welfare for the elderly, such as subsidies for the elderly and the inclination of the medical system.

There are advantages to having a small population. If it were in the Republic of China, it would be difficult to implement these policies, but in Lan Fang, a country with a population of only a few million, there are not many difficulties in implementation.

Simply put, as long as you have money, you can do it.

After the establishment of Lan Fang, some "Huang Hanists" proposed to kill all the Lan Fang aborigines, or expel them all, in order to establish a harmonious society composed entirely of Chinese.

There are also slightly more moderate "Great Hanists" who proposed to transform the Lan Fang aborigines, and the method is also relatively tough. They are ready to set up institutions such as "naturalization camps" to naturalize the Lan Fang aborigines.

In fact, at the national level, it is inappropriate to use all drastic measures. Not only will it damage the international image, but it will also be difficult to explain internally.

Lan Fang currently has a number of regulations to restrict the planning of population and aborigines. For example, promoting Chinese is the biggest restriction on aborigines.

Since last year, Lan Fang has designated Chinese as the official language, and at the same time stipulated that no other languages ​​are allowed to be used in all public places in Lan Fang. This seemed a bit inhumane at the beginning, but the effect is very good.

So far, even the elderly aborigines can more or less speak some Chinese. The accent may be a little non-standard, but there is no problem in daily communication.

When the next generation of Lan Fang is born, they will live in a Chinese world. Whether in school or anywhere in Lan Fang, Chinese is the only language they can come into contact with, so learning Chinese will become a habit.

In fact, Chinese is a very charming language, just like the legendary "You Say You Love Rain" written by Shakespeare. When it is translated into various versions, the charm of Chinese suddenly jumps out of the paper, which makes people have to admire it.

In fact, the ancestors of the Chinese have been using this "subliminal" method to assimilate foreign races, with good results and almost no sequelae, even those "Huang Hanists" or those "Great Hanists". They are not pure Han people themselves, but cultural identity makes them think they are Han people.

Qin Zhiyuan also wants to use this method to assimilate the local indigenous people, so that there will be no stains left for people to criticize.

Perhaps it takes a long time to use this method, but compared with the Americans who adopted the bloody "Westward Movement" to treat Indians, Qin Zhiyuan would rather use this method to "subliminal".

Think about the Americans in the 21st century. No matter how powerful their national strength is, no matter how prosperous they are in the 21st century, the "westward movement" will always be a stain that the United States cannot erase. Even the Americans themselves cannot justify themselves on this issue.

When Qin Zhiyuan was inspecting Lan Fang, Chen Kangjian was also inspecting Sakhalin Island.

Sakhalin Island, Russia calls it "Sakhalin Island" and Japan calls it "Karafuto Island".

Why is Japan involved?

Because in the Russo-Japanese War of 1905, the Russians were defeated, and then all the islands south of 50 degrees north latitude were compensated to the Japanese, including half of Sakhalin Island.

Lan Fang's Northern Expedition Corps attacked Vladivostok and Siberia, and naturally included Sakhalin Island. Therefore, on the current Sakhalin Island, Lan Fang and Japan each occupied half of it at 50 degrees north latitude.

Chen Kangjian inspected the Lan Fang side of Sakhalin Island.

Stationed here were the 62nd and 63rd Regiments of the 17th Division of the Northern Expedition Corps, while on the Japanese side was the 21st Brigade of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army.

The organization of "brigades" in the Japanese army is second only to divisions. Each brigade consists of two infantry regiments, with a total number of about 3,500 people. This establishment is a formal establishment. If it is wartime, some civilians may be added, and the number will exceed 5,000.

The organization of the Northern Expedition Corps is a three-three system, and the strength of a regiment is about 3,000.

Calculating this, near 50 degrees north latitude, the military strength of Lanfang and Japan is about two to one.

This situation obviously aroused the vigilance of the Japanese.

In fact, just after the Northern Expedition Army began to attack Russia, the Japanese were ready to move. The Japanese troops stationed on the Japanese side of Sakhalin also showed signs of launching an attack northward, but they were forcefully stopped by the British, the Japanese ally.

The British stopped the Japanese to punish their less obedient brother. Although the Japanese were forced to obey, they also felt resentful towards the British.

It seemed that the Anglo-Japanese alliance was in danger.

This so-called military demarcation line is actually just a vague concept. The Japanese and Russians do not know for what purpose, and neither has determined the demarcation line in detail. Therefore, there is no Japanese-Russian border near the current 50° north latitude. The boundary markers recognized by both sides are just defended according to traditional customs.

When the Russian baton is passed to Lan Fang, Lan Fang will not take the initiative to draw a line with the Japanese.

Sakhalin Island was originally Chinese territory, and the Russians were not qualified to cede Sakhalin Island to any party.

Lanfang had made it clear from the beginning that he would not recognize the Portsmouth Treaty, and it seemed that the Japanese, who had now occupied part of Sakhalin Island, had no intention of being satisfied.

As a result, Lanfang and the Japanese were at war with each other near 50° north latitude, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

The Chinese, British, American, and French military observation groups of the Northern Expedition had an ambiguous attitude towards this, and even the British, Japan's allies, were noncommittal about this.

If you think about it, you can understand that in World War I, the British and the French teamed up to defeat the German challenge. However, when the British looked back, they found that the silent Japanese had almost monopolized the world of the Republic of China. The largest market, how can the British swallow this breath.

The Japanese also knew that their actions had aroused public outrage, so when Lanfang attacked Siberia, the Japanese maintained great restraint and did not continue to challenge the bottom line of patience of Britain, France, and the United States.

But when it comes to territorial disputes, the Japanese have no way to retreat, and Lanfang will not retreat.

Well, the first signs of future strife are already emerging.

Chen Kangjian's trip was to make advance preparations for future wars.

"Recently, the Japanese have shown signs of increasing their troops. Their military camps have a lot of vehicles coming in and out every day, not only manpower, but also signs of hoarding supplies." Qu Feixiang, commander of the 62nd Regiment, reported at Chen Kang's fitness center.

"Yesterday a Japanese torpedo boat wandered around our waters. After we issued a warning, the Japanese torpedo boat quickly withdrew. This has happened before." He Feizhou, the leader of the 63rd Regiment, reported accordingly.

Qu Feixiang and He Feizhou are both veterans of the Foreign Legion. Half of their troops are veterans of the Foreign Legion, and the rest are partly employed Annanese and some are Germans.

To fight against Russia, the Germans did not need to mobilize and were very motivated.

Chen Kangjian, who was observing, put down the telescope in his hand, rubbed his chin and looked at the Japanese military camp in the distance silently.

On the current Sakhalin Island, there are almost no traces of human development. The Japanese side is better, and there are finally some Japanese immigrants. On the Lanfang side, the previous Russians have evacuated, and Lanfang organized Immigrants haven't been able to cover this area yet, so it's literally no man's land now.

The Japanese, the former Russians, and the current Lanfang people have not built permanent fortifications. Perhaps in their subconscious, this is just a temporary dividing line, and there is no need to do such useless work.

"Commander, let's fight. The Japanese are nothing special. Their equipment is extremely limited, with very few machine guns and artillery. The firepower density of one of our battalions can almost equal that of one of their regiments. We only need to dispatch one regiment to defeat them." Drive the Japanese out of Sakhalin." Qu Feixiang is more radical.

Lanfang's army returning from Europe is no longer on the same level as the Asian army in terms of equipment level. Even Japan, which is currently known as "the strongest in Asia", has a much lower firepower density than Lanfang.

But Lanfang also has disadvantages, that is, Lanfang's current material supply relies heavily on external resources, and his country's hematopoietic mechanism is insufficient. This makes Lanfang's army unable to sustain combat capabilities. Once the existing materials are consumed, the sea transportation routes If it is blocked by the Japanese again, it will be useless for Lanfang's army to equip one person with a machine gun.

Therefore, Chen Kangjian was very cautious: "Don't worry, let the Japanese occupy it if they want. Now is not the time to start a war. We have to wait at least five years before we start."

Five years, there is a saying for this time limit.

In another time and space, Qin Zhiyuan was already familiar with the "Five-Year Plan" and had a profound understanding of the significance and role of the "Five-Year Plan". So in this time and space, Qin Zhiyuan naturally wanted to copy the "Five-Year Plan" of.
