African Nationhood

"Minister Zhong, please tell us about the situation in various overseas consular regions."

Zhong Yilin stood up and nodded to his adopted brother and Vice Prime Minister Shi Jinyong, then opened the folder he carried with him.

“The development of our overseas territories in the past five years has been a steady growth. The resident population of Lanfang Company, the Sultanate of Sulu, and Sabah has increased, mainly due to the spontaneous integration of the surrounding indigenous people.

The population of Lanfang Company increased by more than 1 people, Sabah increased by more than people, and the Sultanate of Sulu also increased by more than people.

Among them, the increase in indigenous people in the Sulu Sultanate mainly came from Mindanao. The indigenous people there fled because they could not stand the oppression of the Americans.

The Americans wanted us to repatriate these indigenous people to them, but the Sulu Self-Committee ignored them.

The U.S. Governor did not dare to say anything, but the U.S. government often contacted our Department of Overseas Territories.

How should we deal with this? "

At this stage, the United States has very successfully colonized the Philippines, but Mindanao was once part of the Sulu Sultanate, and most of the indigenous Moro people here are Muslims.

The people on the main island of the Philippines are all Catholics, which has led to conflicts between Mindanao and the main island.

In order to squeeze out the indigenous people of Mindanao, the Americans strongly encouraged Catholics to move into Mindanao and seize land resources.

As a result, the indigenous people of Mindanao had no choice but to defect to the Sulu Sultanate.

Although the United States is very strong economically at this stage, it is not strong militarily and is far from the invincible Eagle Sauce it was during World War II.

When the U.S. military became truly powerful, it would be when Roosevelt was elected president.

Therefore, South China can ignore the United States at this stage, but these indigenous people are of no use. In the Sulu Sultanate, they will compete with the indigenous people for survival resources.

Therefore, it is best to avoid unnecessary friction as much as possible.

"It is useless to let the people who have been isolated from Mindanao by the Sulu Self-Committee to land and directly repatriate those who have escaped. It is unnecessary for us to have a bad relationship with the United States out of thin air."

Zhong Yilin nodded, "Okay, Chairman.

Let’s talk about the Emirate of Bahrain-Hassa in the Persian Gulf.

Since we mobilized our servant troops from this area to participate in the European War, the people's livelihood here has inevitably fallen into trouble, and their production and life have been affected.

Can we initiate a plan to relocate them to Sabah? "

Shi Jintang has already told Zhong Yilin about the plan to relocate the islanders to develop Sabah and arrange military garrison camps there after they were evacuated.

“Well, this matter can be started first. After all, Sabah is too empty and lacks human resources development.

When you promote immigration, remember to sign an agreement with those migrants. When you go to Sabah, you have to give up your local rights and interests. "

This was done to prevent the descendants of these immigrants from causing trouble, and also to regulate the Great Migration in the future.

In 1924 in the original time and space, Japan launched the cultured pearl industry.

The large number of artificial pearls on the market has directly defeated the small people in the Middle East such as Bahrain and Qatar who rely on artificial pearl collection for a living.

The living standards of the people in these areas plummeted, and for a time it reached the point where people could not make a living.

If oil and natural gas had not been discovered later, these two places would have become as vicious as Somali pirates.

Zhong Yilin nodded, "Okay, Chairman, we will prepare the terms of the agreement."

“The slave trade, arms and industrial product sales in Djibouti have grown steadily, and the local salt company has begun to take off.

Commissioner Liang of the Djibouti Administrative Office plans to build a large salt chemical company and start the industrial production of refined salt and potassium salt from the Alsa Salt Lake.

At the same time, a railway is built from Lake Alissa to the Gulf, which can transport the abundant salt and potash in the salt lake and develop foreign trade.

Therefore, we decided to return all the profits and taxes of the Djibouti Administrative Office to them to support their local development and lay the foundation for future rapid development. "

This is a new development idea formulated by Nanhua for the colonies that cannot be occupied in the future. As long as the local area has pillar industries and the local people can live and work in peace and contentment, then they will not become vicious pirates.

You won’t just want to rely on the locals. It’s better to teach people how to fish than to teach them how to fish.

With the salt chemical company, it is enough to support the more than 100,000 indigenous people there.

Coupled with Djibouti's superior geographical location, it will also be able to gain a lot of benefits from developing port berthing services in the future.

Djibouti's natural conditions are barren, and its future positioning is Singapore on the Red Sea.

With such a positioning, there will be no room for chaos in this place.

And areas like Somalia are too big, and the cost of assistance is too high. There is no need to spend energy. It is their own choice whether they want to be in chaos or not.

As for occupying this place and massacring the indigenous people, the gain outweighs the loss. If we have this time, we might as well put our precious transportation capacity into transporting the redundant indigenous people and immigrants from the Far East.

Later history has also proved that this place is purely useless.

Red Goose and Lao Mei have both come here to cause trouble, but this place is naturally barren and cannot develop without resources.

No matter how powerful a country is, it will not invest unlimited resources without paying back. The final destination here is still poor mountains and rivers, left to fend for itself.

……

“The population of the Sakhalin Administration in the Far East has been growing steadily over the years.

First, immigrants from the Northeastern Beiyang region spontaneously defected, and second, the Red Revolution in Tsarist Russia caused many Tsarist Russian nobles to defect to Manchuria and Sakhalin.

Commissioner Sun Guangming did not refuse Chinese immigrants who took the initiative to come, but it was the nobles of Tsarist Russia who were a little undecided.

They were only temporarily taken in because it was freezing in winter and there was no way to evict them for the time being.

Chairman, what do you mean? "

These people who fled from Russia were the so-called white geese. They were opposed to the Soviet regime at the time and took a large amount of property with them when they fled.

These white goose immigrants are estimated to number between 90 and 200 million.

The strata are mainly the old nobles and military officers of Tsarist Russia, Cossacks, intellectuals, businessmen and landowners, as well as officials of the Tsarist Russian government and officials of various anti-Bolshevik governments during the Russian Civil War.

When they escaped, they also drove warships and carried many weapons. These people will be good thugs.

Chairman Shi plans to take in these thugs and sign a secret agreement with them in the name of Nan Hua.

Let them open up a battlefield in the Congo region. After these Russians conquer the Congo, South China will support them in establishing a country in the inland areas of Central Africa and become South China's peripheral firewall country.

This white country is surrounded by South China, so that the white regime can only rely on South China in the future and avoid being provoked by other countries.

"Most of these nobles from Tsarist Russia ran away with treasures in their arms, so naturally they cannot be let go.

You tell Sun Guangming that these people can choose freely. They can stay and settle on Sakhalin Island, or they can choose to settle on our mainland.

We can take them in, and don't forget to tell them that the former crown prince of Tsarist Russia is also in our homeland. "

Hearing what Chairman Shi said, the senior officials at the venue were a little confused about Chairman Shi's intentions.

Zhong Yilin could only nod, "Yes, Chairman."

“As for Rhode Island in the Mediterranean, we transport immigrants from southern Europe through here, but the development of the two small islands is still relatively slow, and there is not much progress.

This time the Ottomans were defeated. Can we seize more islands in the Aegean Sea, or larger islands?

Although Rhode Island is not small, it is relatively remote and too close to the mainland of Ottoman Turkey, which is not conducive to development and construction. "

This matter is something that Chairman Shi has been thinking about. He plans to negotiate a deal with Greece and exchange the territory of Rhode Island with Crete.

Whether it can succeed or not depends on the attitudes of Britain and France, but Nanhua is their creditor, and it will not work if they are disobedient.

If Britain and France disagreed, Nanhua threatened Britain to seize the island of Cyprus.

Britain will definitely not give up the island of Cyprus. As for Greece, it can be appeased by directly promising them to cede a piece of territory from Ottoman Turkey.

Such insider trading must be done privately.

Before Ouyang Geng left for Europe, Shi Jintang had already had an affair with him.

This time the Paris Peace Conference will be a battle without smoke.

"Let's talk about this later. For the time being, let's maintain our basic base."

Zhong Yilin nodded, "Yes, regarding the new income states of Johor and Malacca, the land there is also sparsely populated and is in urgent need of human development.

When we immigrate from Bahrain and Qatar, we can also consider moving them here. "

Shi Jintang nodded, "These are just small details, you can make your own arrangements.

However, the rubber plantations in Johor need to be more vigorously controlled, and sugarcane plantations should be developed at the same time. Both of these are urgently needed in our country. You must plan well! "

"Yes, Chairman, in the past few years, the level of profits and taxes in overseas territories has been growing steadily, and the total amount of profits and taxes has reached 78 billion yuan. Compared with 5 years ago, it has increased by 1.5 times.

Above, my report is completed. "(End of chapter)
