Chapter 539 Endure

Chongqing.

It is not as large as later generations, but it is also the first municipality directly under the central government with a population of over 5 million in the Republic of China. It is also the decision to accept Russian refugees in order to obtain the gold from Kolchak and make the decision to accept Russian refugees. The Ministry of Civil Affairs set up one of 15 resettlement areas across the country. It is because it is easy to control in the inland area, and the food, industry and education are relatively complete, which is suitable for them to go through the language period and gradually integrate into society.

The refugee camp is located 15 kilometers west of the city and 50 kilometers away from the Qijiang Industrial Zone. After a year of intense construction, the original hilly wasteland was covered with five-story gray lattice immigrant houses. This is a simple housing designed and built by the Ministry of Civil Affairs based on Yang Qiu's imitation of the old houses in later generations. This house is not large in area but is sturdy and durable. Compared with the main single-family tile houses in the country, it occupies less land and is not much expensive, and is suitable for densely populated areas. Using immigration to promote this kind of building can also be regarded as a large number of houses for experiments in future urbanization.

When Cai E and others arrived, the largest closed residential area in the country that accommodated 150,000 refugees had been martial law by the National Guard. The management of all refugee camps across the country was temporarily managed by the Guard. This was mainly considered that the police team was formed for a short time and the quality was uneven, which would cause fraud and blackmail, and verbal communication would lead to chaos.

Since Yang Qiuzheng, Tang Shaoyi and others inspected the situation in the refugee camp, everyone had to wait patiently.

This group of Russian refugees in the parallel world ended up miserably. When they fled with Kolchak alone, hundreds of thousands of people were frozen to death and starved to death. The remaining part was fleeing into China. Because of language habits and other issues, they became bodyguards, drivers and prostitutes, and a small number became tools for warlords to disrupt China. So when they first accepted them, even Yang Qiu was worried about whether the local environment would cause unrestrained chaos. However, after special investigations by the Ministry of Intelligence and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it was found that people actually had a big misunderstanding about Russian refugees.

Most of them are Russian bourgeoisie and aristocrats, with an education rate of up to 80% among adults, and half of them have received university education. About 50,000 people have studied in Britain, France and Germany. Technical talents and experts are naturally popular products for universities and factories. The Ministry of Education also hopes that the remaining people can help alleviate the serious shortage of domestic math, physics and chemistry teachers. Even women are attracted to use their talents in dance, painting and music to be teachers. The remaining people are digested and absorbed by the people themselves. The dream is good and the operability is strong, but language barriers are a big problem! Therefore, after the establishment of the refugee area, the Ministry of Civil Affairs is to find people who are proficient in Chinese and Russian languages. So that people who have been living in Vladivostok and Chita for more than ten years have been invited.

This experience also allowed the Ministry of Civil Affairs, police and National Guard to work together to implement the temporary residence permit system for the increasing number of domestic and foreigners. According to the system, citizens of all countries in China need to apply for free temporary residence permits. Residence permits are divided into refugees, technicians, and experts. According to the level, you can regularly go to the police station or the Civil Affairs Office to register. Anyone who has been in the past ten years can choose whether to become a Chinese nationality or leave. All property holders of refugee residence permits must also pay a 45% departure tax when they leave at the end of the year.

The temporary residence permit for refugees is definitely the strictest. Not to mention that they need to declare if they leave the country, even if they leave the province they live, they need to apply for. However, after experiencing the pain of displaced and the destruction of the country and the family, people's requirements for life will be reduced. Being able to bid farewell to hunger and cold and come to mainland China, the government also provides houses and one year of food, which is simply unimaginable for Russian refugees. Of course, the Civil Affairs Office will not support them in vain. In addition to forcing Chinese to learn Chinese during this year's transition period, they also need to complete various production tasks.

In front of Yang Qiu was the bicycle assembly factory. More than 20,000 refugees who worked and studied half of the work can assemble 5,000 vehicles to the bicycle factory every day. The profits of the Ministry of Civil Affairs use half of the profits to purchase grain and necessities, and the remaining ones belong to the bicycle factory. In addition to bicycles, there are many other tasks here. Even the woman with the worst hands-on ability also has the task of stuffing match boxes every day. After checking the work area, Yang Qiu came to the design office, which belongs to Chongqing Industrial Company. More than 1,000 engineers and designers, including Orenrov, who escaped from Chelyabinsk, were gathered here. Since they had to complete language courses, they could not leave the camp for the time being. So Wu Qingdu simply moved his work here to allow them to adapt to the working style and rhythm of Chongqing in advance.

Orenrov's job is to design an electrical bus for a 50,000-kilowatt-level power plant. This is the most important 20 power plant projects in the second five-year plan of the Ministry of Industry. Originally, he considered that the domestic electrical design was very weak and prepared to hand it over to HP and Westinghouse in the United States. However, after Wu Qingdu learned about it, he believed that Chongqing had the ability to undertake electrical projects in power plants. In order to revitalize national industries and avoid risks, the Ministry of Industry finally discussed contracting one-third of it to Chongqing, and the remaining ones continued to hand over to two American companies.

This kind of big project must be done with all its might, so Wu Qingdu learned that Orenrov had designed and built a power plant for the Tsar and also designed an electrical bus for the battleship, immediately recruited him and actively contacted the Ministry of Civil Affairs to gather all the talents scattered in various refugee camps to Chongqing to join the project together.

Orenrov had heard of Yang Qiu for a long time, but when he saw him, he was still attracted by his youth and proficiency, and took the initiative to explain the design process and ideas.

He listened patiently inside, but Cai E and others were waiting a little anxiously outside. When several people were discussing whether to go in and interrupt, Lu Zhengxiang's voice sounded behind him: "Huh? Why are you all here? Where is the vice president?"

Lu Zhengxiang also came to attend the Chongqing Economic Conference. Seeing the faces of several people, he hurriedly asked, "What happened? Songpo, you said."

After Cai E told the story deep in the dense forest of Yakutsk, it turned out that on the third day after the massacre, the lurking intelligence officer sent the news back to Hailanpao. Although Wang Geng and the Northeast War Zone Command were angry, they didn't care too much, and it was impossible for the rebels to interrupt the original bandit suppression plan for the rebels. The problem is that everyone had just received a telegram, and several Japanese newspapers this morning actually exposed the news, and published a large number of photos on the scene, and changed the title to the Russian army massacred Northeast immigrants!

"How could Japan have photos?" Although Lu Zhengxiang was a little angry, he was looking at the owner when he beat the dog. But it was strange that he had photos from Japan. Although Japan had always had contact with the Russian guerrillas in the Far East, there were few photos. Could it be that anyone was there at the scene at that time?

Cai E said: "This is exactly what we are strange about! Judging from past experience, after Japan publishes photos, Britain, France, the United States and other countries will definitely reprint them. There are still many British and American newspapers in our country. Once they reprint these photos, we are worried..."

"Arouse public anger and destroy future negotiations?"

Cai E nodded: "Continuous victory has made the people in the whole country very high. If it really spreads, it will inevitably cause national condemnation, and it will be difficult for us to deal with it."

Lu Zhengxiang understood why everyone was worried. The reason why the Shanghai Communiqué unilaterally announced the recovery of the country was actually to set a basic tone for future Sino-Russia negotiations. Now that Japan has exposed the matter and deliberately confuses the facts. The reprint of the British and American newspapers in China will inevitably arouse public anger. In this case, the military does not take any action, and it will definitely not satisfy everyone. But if there is a big move, it will inevitably put aside the current adaptation and future Sino-Russia negotiations.

Zhang Wenjing asked strangely: "I don't think this matter is that simple. Where did Japan get the photos on the scene? Didn't it say that the Japanese government has sent people to Moscow? Why do you still report this kind of thing? Are you not afraid of affecting the relationship between the two countries?"

Yue Peng also kept thinking about this and said, "This is the strangest thing about us. What do they want to do in this way?"

"No wonder, because Stalin and Nagata Tieshan have met." As everyone was analyzing, Yang Qiu's voice sounded behind him. He turned his head and looked. He, Tang Shaoyi and others had already walked out after the inspection, and Chen Haohui was also in a wheelchair to follow him.

When everyone saw him, they understood that Yang Qiu had already received the news.

This sentence of unfinished words made everyone frown, but Cai E still couldn't figure it out. He asked: "The commander-in-chief means that this matter is a deal between Stalin and Nagata Tieshan? Then why did he do this? This matter is not good for him."

Yang Qiu smiled: "Let Haohui answer you this question."

Chen Haohui waved his hand and asked Dai Chunfeng to go down first. After Kuang Xukun took the initiative to take over the cart work, he said while walking: "We have received information. There are great differences within Moscow on whether to fight Poland first or Kolchak first. Tonotsky and the General Staff have the idea to deal with the east first. But Stalin insists that he should fight Poland first. At present, the two factions have their own opinions and will not give in to each other."

The Russian civil war is the most concerned thing of the General Staff. It has to conduct targeted research every week. After he finished speaking, Yue Peng immediately said: "What are the good choices for this? After fighting for a few years, the Kazan Wufa defense line has been solid enough, and even if we fight for less than a year or two, we can't chew it. The Fulongzhi tribe in the east already has about 1.5 million troops. As long as the supply can keep up, it is not difficult to defeat Kolchak or even recover Tomsk, but if you miss this summer, it will definitely be delayed until next year. On the other hand, the Polish army's morale is strong on the Western Front. Now it will be a big boost to the fire when it can win. Even if it can win, it will be a big loss. The best way is to keep retreating and accumulate strength and wait until they can't fight back."

Chen Haohui nodded and said, "Brother Zi'an, your solution, Tonotsky also thought of it, so he proposed to make every effort to ensure the east side and solve Kolchak and Denikin first, but Stalin was unwilling to..."

"Why is this?" Xu Xiujun interrupted.

"This is not simple." Yang Qiu saw that everyone had not understood it, and looked at Tang Shaoyi and said, "Lenin's resources can only be used in one direction. Strengthen the east and the west must be weakened. After Stalin recovered Chalijin, his morale was in full swing. At this time, he made the Southwest Army deliberately fail and retreated backwards. Do you think he would be willing?"

Everyone understands this.

It is a well-known secret that Lenin was in poor health after being assassinated. At this time, the power struggle within Moscow must be fierce. At present, four people who hope to succeed are mainly four, Tonotsky, Stalin, Derrensky and Bukharin. The former is not only known as the father of the Red Army, but also the commander-in-chief of the October Revolution, and has high expectations in the army. Stalin determined his prestige through the Battle of Tharizin and received the support of Tukhachevsky and others. The Southwest Front Army was his most important weight. Derrensky was the chairman of the National Anti-Counterfeiting Committee, the most determined proletarian revolutionary and Lenin's most loyal partner. As for Bukharin, he refused to give up any inch of the original Russian territory because of his leftist thoughts, and was widely supported by the radicals.

Judging from the situation, Bukharin is definitely the weakest, and Derrensky's work nature is more easily criticized. Therefore, the biggest competitors are Tonotsky and Stalin. The latter is still not as good as Tonotsky in the army, so he is determined to fight the South first. Because as long as Lenin promises to fight the South, then Fu Longzhi must draw troops to the Southwest Army, and resources from all over the country must also gather to the southwest, and Stalin's trump card can be much thicker.

After thinking through these, it is not surprising why Japan has photos. It must be that Stalin and Nagata Tetsuyama reached an agreement to deliberately undermine the recovery of Sino-Russia relations, and to fabricate rumors to try to make the National Defense Forces take action. Whether it is to the northwest or northeast, as long as it causes tension, Lenin must first let the East go so as not to continue to stimulate China in order not to continue to stimulate China. In this way, Stalin has enough reason to demand to attack the Polish army in the south first.

"This Stalin is too dangerous! Doing so is to sacrifice the future development opportunities of the poor party to the east and exchange for his own political status!" Cai E also secretly shocked Stalin's ruthlessness after thinking it through. Originally, as long as Shumiyasky and others were kept and Japan-Russia relations were developed, the poor party theory would have the opportunity to penetrate the East. After all, there were many poor people in the Republic of China, and exploitation was common. However, he did this and deliberately let Japan leak photos. In the future, fewer people would believe in the idea of ​​the poor party. Unless there were ambitious people, everyone would stay away from it.

"The Russian civil war will end after all. After a few years of fighting, Moscow was not only not defeated, but it became stronger and stronger. If nothing unexpected happens, Lenin and the poor party will take charge of the overall situation within one or two years. Since Japan has been together with Stalin, then we..." Tang Shaoyi looked at Yang Qiu and asked: "Do you also send someone to contact Tonotsky and let Xu Shuzheng retreat?"

Tornotsky is a good person? This guy is much better than Stalin! It’s okay to get along with him after Stalin comes to power, but now... Yang Qiu has no idea at all. He said: “Ambitioners are always easier to deal with than strategists! Since we are targets, we are idle, and this is an opportunity given by others. Let’s make good use of them.

Guofu, you send a telegram to Dai Jitao. Not only do you not restrict the news, but you also need to increase the reprinting efforts. As for where it happens, don’t explain it. Just treat it as the Northeast immigration area. Haohui. You must also make contributions, put a batch of information in your hands for publicity, and guide the people to believe that Moscow is evil and cruel."

"Puchi..."

The last two sentences made Kuang Xukun, who was pushing the cart, unable to help laughing, and Yang Qiu laughed himself: "Since they give us this opportunity, I'm sorry for not using it. You all go, accept interviews, write columns, and do whatever you want. It's best to be smeared, it's best to be demonized! Send a telegram to Wang Geng and Wu Peifu. When the weather is hot, fight as much as you should, and make a bigger noise!"

Originally, everyone was nervous and would cause domestic pressure, but they didn't expect that bad things would become good things in Yang Qiu's hands. Everyone was worried that there would be no chance to smear Russia. After all, no matter how miserable the Russian civil war was, it was still a matter of the people's domestic affairs and could not resonate with the country. Although everyone felt uncomfortable when they were fooled by Stalin and Japan, it was an opportunity at least.

Only Cai E spoke, but did not say it in the end because he felt that Yang Qiu was too optimistic. Not to mention how much pressure this kind of propaganda would put on the already difficult immigrants, just Japan and Russia cooperated for the first time to target their own situation, so they should be more vigilant! But he didn't know that Yang Qiu had been vigilant long ago. Stalin and Nagata Tieshan had initially joined forces to show their power. What will happen once both countries have passed the difficult period? He was also helpless. With the power in his hands only being defeated but not being beaten to death, a long-term political and diplomatic confrontation was destined to be inevitable.

At this moment, he has no choice but to endure no matter how big the emergencies occur, because the most important economic and monetary reform is imminent.

In the following days, Yang Qiu was actively preparing for the Chongqing Economic Conference and almost ignored the outside world. As news and photos of the Yakutsk incident moved eastward from Japan into the country, the whole country fell into anger. The General Administration of Press, who was implied, not only did not correct the place of the incident, but instead began to publicize the poor party's actions in the northwest and northeast, and also reported the cruelty and blood of the Russian civil war, doing his best to demonize the Moscow government, misleading the people to make everyone think that the incident really happened in the Outer Xing'an Mountains. The Ministry of Intelligence also provided hundreds of selected photos to promote the evil of Moscow.

Of course, there are still good people in Russia, such as refugees who have to flee to China when persecuted, and General Kolchak, who led his troops to resist to the death, were all promoted as positive figures.

As Cai E was most worried at the beginning, the continuous victory caused the people to be more energetic. When bloody photos were published in newspapers, the students immediately marched to demand severe punishment of the murderer. The whole country also raised calls for punishment of Moscow. Even the parliament made a decent decision to demand the army to attack Moscow and ensure the safety of the country and the people. Under such circumstances, the Ministry of National Defense could not remain silent. Many troops that had completed the adaptation received orders to mobilize, and the number of troops and transporting horses to the northwest increased rapidly. The conflict between Han people and Russians in the northwest and northeast was also increasing day by day. Hundreds of people were injured in just a few days. The Far East, which had just ended the war, once again gave people a feeling of storm.

Such an obvious move naturally could not be concealed by the Kremlin. Lenin's idea of ​​fighting the Eastern Front first was not firm. Faced with the fierce National Defense Forces, he finally agreed to let the Eastern Front defend along the Ural Mountains first. While sending Galahan to secretly visit China, he also made every effort to solve the Polish army on the Western Front.

When newspapers across the country tried their best to vilify Russia, the top and the two sides shouted together, the energetic Stalin finally got everything he wanted and decided to go to supervise the battle himself. Nagata Tetsuyama also saw the hope of Japan and Russia joining hands to deal with China. However, their opponent Yang Qiu decisively chose to endure and focus on promoting currency and economic reforms.
