Expedition to Europe

Chapter 995 Refugees

Chen Kangjian and Zhou Hongguang had been gone for a long time, and Qin Zhiyuan still hadn't recovered.

Ordinarily Lanfang's generals should not be so greedy. After all, the current Lanfang army's equipment is already better than that of the British and French armies. Lanfang's army is already the best-equipped army in this era. If you want to ask for more, That's a bit nit-picky.

In the final analysis, Qin Zhiyuan still has to be blamed. It was all Qin Zhiyuan's habit.

It is somewhat beneficial. At least it can increase the loyalty of General Lanfang. Those who are used to Lanfang will get whatever they want. If the system is changed, they may not be able to adapt.

It was not just the generals who had demands. After Chen Kangjian and Zhou Hongguang retired, Julie Shi Shiran sat over.

In the past, when Qin Zhiyuan and Lanfang's generals were discussing official matters, Julie and Misha never came forward. Today, when Qin Zhiyuan was talking to Chen Kangjian and Zhou Hongguang, Julie and Misha did not avoid it. This must be the case. If something happens, Qin Zhiyuan is waiting.

Although he was mentally prepared, Qin Zhiyuan still felt surprised when Julie opened her mouth.

"Dear, I think we should open the door to the Persians. As long as there are Persians who want to join Lanfang citizenship, we should accept them, especially the people who originally lived on this land." Julie said a little bit when she spoke Be careful and even use the uncommon "dear".

Julie is also a daughter of a general. To be honest, Julie doesn't have many romances. When communicating with Qin Zhiyuan, the most common title she uses is "Qin". "Dear" is rarely used. Every time she asks Qin for something. It will only be sacrificed when it reaches Zhiyuan.

Although Lanfang's immigration policy is "everyone is equal" in name, in fact there are still three levels of immigration.

If you are Chinese, you only need to apply for Lanfang citizenship, and the Immigration Bureau will give you the green light throughout the process.

If you are European or Annanese, the Immigration Bureau will basically not have any difficulties. As long as the applicant has a clean financial background and has no record of committing a crime in his place of origin, he has a high chance of passing.

Relatively speaking, it is a bit difficult for Japanese and Persians to apply for Lanfang citizenship. The Immigration Bureau will evaluate the applicants. The evaluation conditions are still a bit harsh, including family relationships, educational background, economic strength, political leanings, and understanding of Chinese culture. level of recognition, etc. Basically, as long as the applicant leaves a slightly unfavorable impression on the visa officer, the application will never be approved.

Of course, compared to African black brothers, the Japanese and Persians are pretty good. Since the establishment of Lanfang, although there are some black brothers working in Lanfang, there are also black brothers who have applied to join Lanfang nationality, but they have been approved. Not one.

Julie is referring to the Persians who originally lived in the Western Province. Lanfang’s Western Province is still a bit large. During the process of Lanfang entering the Middle East, the British carried out “demonization” propaganda against Lanfang. In the British population In the novel, the Lanfang people were green-faced, fanged, bloodthirsty man-eating monsters. The Persians were therefore somewhat resistant to the Lanfang people. When Qin Haoge led his army into the two river basins, almost all the residents of the two river basins fled overnight. That's clear evidence.

Time will always prove everything. As the British withdrew from the Middle East, Lanfang became the master of the Mesopotamia and the Mesopotamia. The Persians who originally lived in the Mesopotamia gradually discovered that the Lanfang people were not so cruel, and were even the same as before. Compared with the British colonists, the people of Lanfang can be called amiable, which made those who fled the Mesopotamia a little homesick.

To be honest, there is nothing praiseworthy about the Mesopotamia under the British rule. The oil in the Middle East has not yet been discovered. The land in the Mesopotamia can also be described as "barren" to the British. Therefore, the British The life and death of the Persians did not pay much attention. During the rule of the British colonists, the Persians in the Mesopotamia Basin could be described as "fending for themselves".

Lanfang people are different. Lanfang has now established a basic social security mechanism. Maybe everyone in Lanfang cannot live a prosperous life, but as long as they are not afraid of hard work and are willing to pursue a better life, all Lanfang people will have one With a relatively equal promotion mechanism, even if some people do not seek advancement, the Lanfang government will not let them go. At the very least, they will be forced to assign a job so that you will not starve to death.

As long as you don’t starve to death——

In the 21st century, this seems to be the most basic life guarantee, but for most people in the 1920s, "not dying of hunger" was the greatest luxury.

After the establishment of the Western Province, Lanfang immigrated to the Western Province in order to strengthen its control. At the same time, various Lanfang products also traveled across the ocean to the Western Province. Currently, the Western Province has not established a mature material distribution mechanism. Therefore, many Lanfang products were distributed free of charge to immigrants who first arrived in the Western Province, which made those Persians who fled the war really feel envious and jealous.

These Persians are pitiful now. They abandoned almost everything in order to escape the war. When they wanted to come back now, these Persians found that their previous properties had new owners. For these Persians, they were "refugees". "That's who they are now.

After the establishment of Western Province, social statistics were conducted. At that time, the total population of Western Province was less than 600,000, of which more than 400,000 were Persians who previously lived in the French colonies. In the area that Lanfang army later captured, there were less than 600,000 people. Most of the 200,000 Persians were old, weak, sick and disabled, and there were at least two million people living on that land.

Chen Kangjian also did things in a simple and rough manner. After taking office, Chen Kangjian announced that all the land in the Western Province belonged to the Lan Fang State and redistributed all the land. The distribution standard was the same as that in the Lan Fang mainland. A family of five could be allocated 100 mu of land.

This family of five does not refer to two elderly people, two young people and one child, but two young people and three children. On this basis, five mu of land will be allocated for each additional person.

The Lan Fang government was still very efficient. In just two months, all the land in the Western Province was divided up. Even if it was not distributed, it was all under the control of the Lan Fang government. Those Persians who had fled wanted to come back now. They not only faced the loss of their property, but also the identity problem.

When the Western Province was established, the identity of the people on the land of the Western Province was automatically converted to Lan Fang nationality. This was also the only chance. From then on, the Lan Fang government no longer recognized those Persians who had fled as Lan Fang people.

With this background, Julie was a little cautious when she spoke, because Julie knew very well that Qin Zhiyuan was also a pure "nationalist" in his bones. It was easy for those Persians to leave at the beginning, but it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to come back now.

"Persians - this nation is a little lazy in its bones, I don't like them very much." Qin Zhiyuan said bluntly. He could live a good life in the land of Mesopotamia. Qin Zhiyuan had enough reasons to look down on Persians.

Especially the Persians in Mesopotamia in the past.

"Dear, maybe you don't know that a large number of Persians gather on the border every day and ask to go home. They are carrying the elderly and children, suffering from hunger and cold, and their lives are very difficult. They don't have enough food, no home to shelter from the wind and rain, and even no clean water to drink. The children are crying for food, and the elderly are struggling to survive. For God's sake, help them-" Julie sat next to Qin Zhiyuan and held Qin Zhiyuan's hand when she spoke, with a pleading expression on her face.

When Lan Fang attacked the Mesopotamian region, the residents of the Mesopotamian region fled to Iran and Najd, and some of them entered the French-controlled area. In fact, no matter Iran, Najd, or the French colonies, people's lives are so good. In comparison, the Western Province is now a place where people can live and work in peace and contentment. Of course, those Persians want to go home now.

In fact, the borders between Lan Fang and Najd, Iran, and the French colonies are still a bit vague. It is not difficult for those Persians who escaped to sneak back to the Western Province, but smuggling is not recognized by the Lan Fang government. Without the recognition of the Lan Fang government, no one can get any material distribution from the Lan Fang government, so no one is willing to choose to sneak into the Western Province.

"Lily, it's not that I don't want to help them, but they gave up Lan Fang on their own initiative. Now they want to come back after seeing the benefits. I can't accept it emotionally. There are many people in this world who deserve help. For example, there are still hundreds of millions of Chinese in the Republic of China who need help. To be honest, our strength is not strong enough." Although Qin Zhiyuan is a Catholic in name, he is actually a standard "atheist", so Qin Zhiyuan doesn't give "God" much face.

Speaking of the Chinese in the Republic of China, although Lan Fang has been emigrating from the Republic of China for many years, the number of Chinese who have migrated to Lan Fang is less than 40 million. Compared with the total population of more than 400 million, this number is still not enough.

Far from enough.

The Republic of China also has population statistics. In the original history, around 1910, the population of the Republic of China was 580 million, and then this number decreased year by year. By 1920, only ten years later, the population dropped to 440 million, and then until the founding of the Republic, the total population has not risen to 500 million.

In this time and space, because of the appearance of Lan Fang, the population of the Republic of China decreased to a similar degree as in another time and space, but the people who decreased did not flee or die, but joined the Lan Fang nationality. From this perspective, Qin Zhiyuan really accumulated a great Yin De.

"Dear, help those people, just as it is to accumulate Yin De for our children." Misha has a deep study of Chinese culture, and holding the child is also very convincing.

"Misha, helping the Chinese can also accumulate Yin De for our children--" Qin Zhiyuan still resisted. Thinking of the various "Stans" that had spread all over the world, Qin Zhiyuan didn't like it from the bottom of his heart.

"Of course the Chinese also need help, but they are too far away from us after all, and these Persians are on the border. I can't ignore them, really can't. These days, as long as I close my eyes, I can hear the crying of those children. It's really heartbreaking--" Julie had tears in her eyes.

"Okay--" Qin Zhiyuan agreed a little reluctantly, but he agreed after all.
