The First Warlord of the Republic of China

Chapter 049: Independence Movement

I recommend a good friend's work "Nine Heavens Yujianlu", a very casual fairy tale, interested students can go to support it.

……

Northern Arabian Peninsula, Namibia, Southwest Africa.

These two places are relatively important to the Republic of China. Both Iraq and Syria are rich in oil, and this is a place with a very high rate of return in the future.

Namibia, for the Republic of China, is only to obtain a place that can be used as a naval base and a bridgehead to provoke the African national independence movement.

"In Namibia, if we have a naval base, our navy can quickly attack and interfere with South American countries. In Namibia, we are not much farther away from South American countries than the United States, so we can better Protect the interests of our national capital in South America." Jiang Yu said to the crowd at the meeting.

"Commander, how do we deal with the alien issue in the Arabian Peninsula and Namibia?" Jiang Fangzhen asked.

"Let them be independent." Jiang Yu said without any hesitation, "Now we need to use actions to fool other weak and small nations and backward countries. While allowing them to be independent, we must support a puppet government that is absolutely controllable. In Arabia In the peninsula, we want to control all the oil and suppress their population, in Namibia we can be more relaxed."

"Why suppress their population?" Tang Hanmin asked strangely.

"Because when the population increases, more resources will be consumed. Except for oil, other natural resources in the Arabian Peninsula are relatively scarce. Especially in terms of agricultural resources. When there are more people, they will not be able to eat enough. We will provide relief at that time. It’s not cost-effective, and if there is no relief, it may affect social stability. This will impact the oil we control.” Jiang Yu explained, pointing to the map and saying: “Just let the Arabs on the Arabian Peninsula develop into an agricultural and animal husbandry country. And in the meantime we're going to have Planned Parenthood in there and reform the religion."

"Will that cause a riot?" Jiang Fangzhen asked worriedly.

"Riots will definitely happen, but we can suppress them. Suppress until the religious reform is completely completed, and at the same time allow them to accept family planning. The reason is also very simple, because the Arabian Peninsula has scarce agricultural resources. It will not have such a population." Jiang Yu Said.

Arabs are a bit extreme, the main problem is religion.

Therefore, while the Republic of China allowed the Iraqi and Syrian Arabs to be independent, it also had to carry out thorough reforms on them.This is also equivalent to conducting an experiment in the Islamic world.

In terms of reforms in the Islamic world, Reza Shah, who came to power later, did a good job.

But now the Republic of China supports Muhammad Shah and protects the Persian royal family. Reza Khan has no chance to rebel.Reza Shah is currently serving as his officer in Persia.I don't have the courage to rebel yet.

……

In Europe, on the third day after the agreement between the Republic of China and the Allied Powers was signed, the troops from the Middle East Province of the Republic of China entered Iraq and Syria and took over from Turkey.

The Ottoman Turkish Empire was also finished at this time, and there was also a coup d'état inside.

Baghdad!

The residents of Baghdad, the capital of later generations of Iraq, are now watching the squadrons in mighty military uniforms marching into the city with neat steps on the street.

People's eyes are fixed on these outsiders, wondering what kind of rule they will implement next.

Many Arabs still remember.A few years ago, these Chinese invaders entered the northern part of the Arabian Peninsula to suppress the Arab uprising.

In Jerusalem, there was also a brigade of the Chinese Army marching into this holy city of Islam and Judaism.The Republic of China also occupied this place.

On the issue of the Sinai Peninsula, the United Kingdom was unwilling to hand over the territory of the future Israel to the Republic of China. Later, the Rothschild consortium considered that the threat from China in their ancestral land was too close, so they gave up their restoration of the country. big dream.

The Republic of China obviously does not want to see the Jews return here, let alone a Jewish country on the Arabian Peninsula.

The Republic of China mobilized nearly [-] troops into the northern part of the peninsula to maintain law and order.

When the army arrived, it was followed by a lot of relief food, and the Arab poor in the northern part of the Arabian Peninsula were pleasantly surprised to receive free food.

……

In the Republic of China, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Huai'an, Yi Weijun, held a press conference that day.

"The Republic of China has always adhered to the policy of national self-determination. We also hope that the Arab people on the Arabian Peninsula and the people of Southwest Africa can live a free life. Therefore, on behalf of the Republic of China, I officially announce here that the Republic of China will allow the northern part of the Arabian Peninsula and Southwest Africa to independent."

The reporters below were in an uproar, and people looked at the spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Yi Weijun, wife of the Grand Marshal of the Republic of China, in disbelief.

"Excuse me, is this true?" A British reporter couldn't wait to stand up.

"We never make jokes." Ivy Jun replied seriously, "After discussions with the Central Committee of the Republic of China, the Arabs in the north of the peninsula and the blacks in South West Africa already have the basis for national self-determination."

"So what kind of plan does the Republic of China have?"

"We will hold democratic elections in the northern part of the peninsula and in Southwest Africa, but since the independent government has not established enough order to maintain local stability, this election will be held under the auspices of the Republic of China to ensure the delineation of national boundaries and the integrity of the electoral process. Fair and just." Yi Weijun replied.

Then those reporters kept asking various questions, and Yi Weijun answered them calmly.

As soon as the press conference was over, all the reporters rushed out and sent telegrams to domestic newspapers one after another.

The next day, the whole world was shocked.

All countries in the world have an unbelievable feeling that after the ROC bought colonies from the Allied Powers with money, they did not enslave or exploit them, but they even allowed them to be independent?

Simply unbelievable.

The Allied Powers naturally knew that the Republic of China did not pay a penny for these colonies.It is equivalent to saying that the Republic of China uses these free colonies to promote their image of justice.

The rapid implementation of the national self-determination policy of the Republic of China has given Britain an incomparably huge sense of crisis.

This concept has spread around the world by this time.

Coupled with China's fuel, Britain's colonial dominance.will be severely impacted.

France also has such concerns.

The United States doesn't care, but seeing the Republic of China's continuous packaging of the country's image, it is more jealous.

People in other small countries and colonies were shocked when they heard the news.

At this time, they suddenly believed that this world is not just a bandit country where all interests are aligned, and the moral character of the Republic of China is noble.It is far from what the European and American powers can compare.

When the Arabs in the northern part of the peninsula heard the news, everyone was boiling.Cities in the northern part of the peninsula were in a state of excitement.

The Republic of China then shipped a second batch of relief food and distributed it to the Arabs free of charge.

Through these means.The Arabs in the northern part of the peninsula were completely bought, and they completely forgot about the suppression of their uprising by the Republic of China.

In their eyes at this time, the Republic of China is the most just country, and the National Defense Force of the Republic of China is the most just army.

When the Wehrmacht entered the northern part of the Arabian Peninsula.He also won the respect of those Arabs with strict military discipline.As a result, there were no riots in the northern part of the peninsula.

It looks harmonious, and the soldiers and civilians help each other, which is so touching.

Then it was time to divide the borders.

In South West Africa, there is no need to divide the national borders, one government will do.

But in the northern part of the Arabian Peninsula, Jiang Yu's idea is to continue to divide Iraq and Syria into several small countries.

In Huai'an, Jiang Yu took the map, a ruler and a pen in his hand, and made gestures for a long time.Jiang Yu drew several horizontal lines on the map with a ruler and a pen.

Later Iraq was divided into two countries by Jiang Yu.A line was drawn in the northwest-northeast direction, which evenly divided Iraq's agricultural resources into two.The area of ​​Iraq that contains a lot of oil near Kuwait is classified as the territory of the Republic of China. There are at least 60% of Iraq's oil there, and that area is only a little bigger than Kuwait.

The Syria of the later generations was also divided in half by Jiang Yu, while the Lebanon of the later generations was also retained.

The banks of the Jordan River were assigned to the Jordan of later generations.

That is to say, after this rough division, six countries were formed in the northern part of the Arabian Peninsula. Next, the Republic of China will establish six puppet governments to carry out economic colonial rule on these areas respectively.

Jiang Yu handed over this map to the newly established 'Peninsula Election Committee', whose job is to delineate national boundaries and preside over elections.

If 6 Middle Eastern countries are formed, even if something goes wrong in one of them, it will not infect the other 5 countries, which is safer.

6 small countries cannot make trouble.

After the formation of 6 small countries, it is also possible to provoke some disputes between them, so as not to unite them.

Disputes are easy to stir up, that is to find some disputed land, let the two sides go up and fight from time to time, and then public opinion will report and publicize it.

In addition, the Islamic world is divided into Sunni sects, Shia sects, and one or two other factions, and the contradictions between these factions are very large.

……

Yuan Keding, the governor of the Middle East Province, took office as the interim governor of the peninsula this time. Before the governments of the northern peninsula were formed, he was the highest authority.

After the governments of various countries are formed, he is equivalent to the Supreme Emperor.

After knowing and understanding Jiang Yu's intentions, Yuan Keding led the "Peninsula Election Committee" and started a pretentious discussion on the demarcation of the northern border of the peninsula.

On the other hand, the Republic of China is rushing to find lackeys to form a puppet government.What democratic elections are just a lie.

Elections can be manipulated.

It can be manipulation in the process, or it can be manipulation in the result. Anyway, this election is hosted by the Republic of China, so it can do whatever it wants.

But in order to show enough justice, the Republic of China still needs to pretend to find a few lackeys to come out to supervise the election process twice.

After the election, the lackey selected by the Republic of China was pushed into power to serve as the president.

After some pretentious discussions.In March of the Xinyou year, the national boundaries were initially determined, and the Republic of China divided the northern part of the peninsula into six regions.

Among them, the area of ​​Lebanon is twice as large as that of later generations.Occupy the northern part of Jerusalem.Jordan occupies the area of ​​later Israel, and its area is also larger.

The oil-rich areas in southeastern Iraq were incorporated into the territory of the Republic of China.

The residents there migrated to other areas, and the Republic of China paid 100 Yanhuang coins to each Arab who migrated. In that area, about 30 people migrated.

The Republic of China paid 3000 million yuan for resettlement and bought land for them in other areas.Housing was built.

This is all small money, compared to the wealth of those oil fields, it is a drop in the bucket.

At this time, the Iraqis didn't know that there was a lot of oil there, they just thought it was a barren land with some oases.

these six regions.The Republic of China is called Northern Iraq, Southern Iraq, East Syria, West Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon.

After this division, the Republic of China separated Sunni and Shia believers and let them move to their respective regions.

For example in Iraq, Sunni is South Iraq.Shia for Northern Iraq.

This is guaranteed.There will be no religious conflicts within these countries, as long as the puppet of a faction is captured, it can be stably economically colonized.

If believers from these religious factions are not assigned, then when a person from this faction becomes president, another faction will definitely make trouble.

Separation is crisp enough.

Migration activities began to be carried out frequently in the northern part of the peninsula. The Republic of China established a provisional government in these six regions. The provisional government was administered by the Republic of China and maintained law and order.

During this period, all taxes are exempted.And there is free food supply for the migrating Arabs.

The Republic of China dispatched a large number of vehicles to help the followers of these religious sects migrate.The interim government provided tents for the displaced.

At this time, the Republic of China also recruited a group of lackeys. With the help of the Republic of China, these lackeys gave speeches, campaigns, and packaging everywhere, and quickly became the leaders of various regions. They all expressed their acceptance of this division plan.

At the same time, the Republic of China listed Jerusalem as a free religious city, and six countries jointly governed it, because Jerusalem is a holy city in the Islamic world, no matter what faction, they often go to Jerusalem for pilgrimage.

Then in these six regions, the election officially started.

Political parties have been established in various regions. Under the control of the Republic of China, only two political parties have been established in each region, and the top leaders of the two parties are all controlled by the Republic of China.

Leaders of political parties in the six regions have made speeches before the election to win the support of voters.

On the first day of the election, the streets were full of Chinese Communists maintaining law and order.Excited Arabs lined up at the election point.

Colorful flags were also hung on the street, and the atmosphere was as lively as a festival.

The election lasted for a week. Under the supervision of the lackeys elected by the Republic of China, the election ended smoothly in six regions.

The statistical results came out soon. In the absence of fraudulent votes, the Republic of China successfully pushed the elected lackeys to the presidency by relying on public opinion propaganda.

Northern Iraq, Southern Iraq, East Syria, West Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan have successively declared independence.

These countries then successively established armies, national boundaries, national defense, and taxation systems under the auspices of the Republic of China, which provided a loan to these Middle Eastern dependent countries.

However, the Republic of China has not become the suzerain of these countries, because these countries have little development potential, and the Republic of China can control oil.

Because once these countries become affiliated countries of the Republic of China, it means responsibility.

The Republic of China must develop those affiliated countries to the same extent, so as to deceive more countries, and let other countries actively request to become affiliated countries of the Republic of China. OK.

Subject status is very valuable.

The Republic of China only needs to control the elites of these Arab countries.

And in Southwest Africa, where the population is relatively small, there are less than 100 million black people in Southwest Africa. This is an area of ​​80 square kilometers, which was taken over by South Africa during the First World War.

After the signing of the agreement, the Chinese marines landed on this land, and the South African army had no choice but to retreat.

After the Republic of China took over Southwest Africa, the problems here were much simpler than those in the northern part of the peninsula. The blacks here were generally not very civilized and did not have a strong sense of resistance.

Therefore, the Republic of China quickly formed a democratically elected government here, and then announced the establishment of the 'Republic of South West Africa'.

Southwest Africa is rich in mineral resources and is known as the "strategic metal reserve". The main mineral deposits include diamonds, uranium, copper, silver, etc. Among them, diamond production is world-renowned.

In later generations, the mining industry in Southwest Africa was the main pillar of its economy. 90% of the mineral products were exported, and the output value created by the mining industry accounted for nearly 20% of the GDP.

Southwest Africa is also rich in fishery resources, and its fishing volume ranks among the top ten fish-producing countries in the world. It mainly produces cod and sardines, 90% of which are for export.

The main food crops are corn, sorghum and millet, etc. In later generations, the animal husbandry in Southwest Africa was relatively developed, and the income accounted for 88% of the total income of agriculture and animal husbandry.In addition to the three pillar industries of mining, fishery and agriculture and animal husbandry, tourism has developed rapidly.

The Germans established an animal sanctuary in the north of Southwest Africa, covering an area of ​​about [-] square kilometers.

In general, South West Africa is a relatively small and peaceful country with a small population.This will become one of the consortium's investment areas.

The whaling port in Southwest Africa will be built as a port for both military and civilian purposes, and the Republic of China will set up an Atlantic Fleet here, mainly to deter South American countries.

At the same time, the Republic of China will popularize Chinese and spread Taoism here.

In addition, the Republic of China appeared in Southwest Africa as a liberator, which caused some turmoil in the surrounding black people under colonial rule.

It will also become the arsenal of the surrounding African black national independence movement, and will continue to provide arms to the surrounding anti-colonial armed forces. (To be continued..)
