the world is at stake

"Why... do you think I've given too much?" Zhou Qingfeng's playful tone dropped a bit, and also turned a little cold.

The uproar disappeared.

"To be honest, I haven't thought about how to cooperate with you. After all, it is impossible for 'Holy Light' to pay unilaterally. You can leave at any time. I am only paying some living expenses at the moment."

The clauses drawn up by Zhou Qingfeng are indeed very loose, basically similar to the three chapters of the contract.The joiner reserves the right to leave at any time, and made it clear that even if he dies, the space-time ring will dissipate directly and will not be left to any successor.

The last one made the 'rice worms' feel a little more at ease, and felt that it was fair.After all, the temporary place to stay, the requirements should not be too high.When there are a few wandering candidates who choose to cooperate and sign.

But the number of people who signed the contract was enough, exceeding a certain threshold, and a reminder sounded in Zhou Qingfeng's mind: "You have gathered candidates from the main races and countries of the five continents under your command, and you have built a loose structure in this reversal of time and space. alliance.

As the leader, you have the right to use and allocate resources within the alliance. "

alliance?

This has never happened before.

Zhou Qingfeng can build this alliance, shouldn't the other time-traveling forces be established?

No, several other companies cannot form such alliances.In the past, there was a lack of candidates from China, until Zhou Qingfeng appeared-so the key element was myself?

Chapter 24 Frontier

"Proletarians of the world unite!"

Uncle Zhou stepped on the table, facing more than 50 "rice worms" from five continents and four oceans, raised his arms and shouted - but there was no applause at the scene, and everyone looked at him like a fool.

"Well, it looks like you don't look like proletarians."

Zhou Qingfeng put his foot down from the table, quite frustrated.In his opinion, this loose alliance really has no internal resources to use, and being the leader is really boring.

But in the eyes of Qin Qing, who specializes in intelligence, the 'Alliance' still has the potential to tap value, "These 'rice worms' have no motivation to change history, but they are not useless for being able to escape from their respective territories to China.

For example, Seyit, who was the first to join us, used the advantage of time travel to do business in the Middle East. Although the business was not very big, the people he interacted with were all kinds of people.

Others were also mostly regional figures in Asia, Africa and Latin America.I have built the network of this group of people, and found that a single wandering candidate is weak, but when more than [-] people add up, part of the network is actually interlinked.

For example, Seyit's main activity area is in the Middle East, and another Hasselblad comes from Pakistan in South Asia.They are friends with each other.

The '911' event will probably not happen, and there will be more twists and turns in joining the WTO.The 'Afghanistan War', which greatly consumed the strength of US imperialism, disappeared without a trace.

To plan for the rainy day, the 'party and government' has an idea, can they make arrangements in advance in areas where the enemy's power is weak, and prepare for the 'Belt and Road'? "

Weak areas?Belt and Road?

Zhou Qingfeng imagined a world map in his mind.The Middle East, Africa, and South America do not work. The only place that fits the relationship between the two is Afghanistan in Central Asia.

Empire Graveyard!

Great Britain fell, the Soviet Union collapsed, and the US emperor fought fiercely. Is it true that China is also going to enter today?

Qin Qing continued to analyze: "Although Afghanistan is poor, its importance cannot be underestimated. We do not seek military occupation, but at least we have some influence."

After the 'Afghanistan War', the chaos in Northwest China was outrageous.Part of the reason is that after the United States occupied Afghanistan, it continued to send people to infiltrate the northwest.The border line is so long, it is impossible to prevent a few troublemakers from entering.

Even without the 'Afghan War', the US military would no longer enter.But this Central Asian crossroads is too important to ignore.

"It is the 'Taliban' regime that controls Afghanistan now, but the current 'Taliban' is a religious extremist organization, completely different from the secularized 'Taliban' 20 years later.

The fundamentalist 'Taliban' has issued decrees banning movies and television and strictly controlling entertainment activities; men must grow beards, women must cover their faces, women are not allowed to receive education and employment, and they hate all external forces.

At present, the situation in Hong Kong is stable, and the domestic political situation has greatly improved.Just the confiscation of state-owned assets embezzled by various "second generations" amounts to trillions of yuan.so……"

Those who 'engage in the party and government' have spare energy and ideas to do some work for the future.

"You want me to go?" Zhou Qingfeng pointed to himself, "I can't be the only one, right?"

Qin Qing's tone suddenly turned lower, "In fact, ideology can be guided. We hope that Afghanistan will have a secular regime, and European and American forces must not enter.

The country can transfer a group of cadres and armed personnel from the Northwest to Afghanistan.But these people can't act as a country, and need a strong enough private company to act as a spokesperson.

'Holy Light' is the most suitable candidate.In addition, the group can recruit local people to arm it.The networks of wandering electors can be of great help. "

To put it simply, the fundamentalist 'Taliban' is actually a local chicken and a dog, and there are not many forces opposing it.China does not like such fanatical religious forces.

According to Qin Qing, "Respect the customs of the local people, provide limited help, make more friends, and avoid making enemies. As long as Afghanistan is not controlled by European and American forces, it will be a victory for China."

It sounds simple.

Zhou Qingfeng asked Seyit again to ask if he could help prevent religious extremism in Afghanistan—the sick old man was dying, but he became more excited when he heard about it.

There is a seemingly strange thing in this world. European and American Christian countries often criticize autocratic China for genocide against Muslims, but green countries around the world agree with China's crackdown on religious extremists.

Because Europe and the United States are here to make trouble, and the green country itself has suffered from the scourge of extremists.

Seyit, from 20 years later, has had enough of religious extremists.Whether it is the fundamentalist 'Taliban' in the early years or the inhumane 'ISIS' later, they are capable of harming their own people.

Terrorist attacks occur only occasionally in Europe, America and China, which can basically be eliminated after strengthening control.However, regions such as the Middle East, Central Asia and even North Africa are really in dire straits every day, and the people are in dire straits.

Elan, who came from the Middle East, was full of bitterness about this, and the tragic story was like a long river, which could never be finished.

"President Zhou, I have always wanted to explain to you that I am a moderate." Seyit wished he could hug Zhou Qingfeng's thigh, "I am a businessman, a lunatic who strongly opposes extremists.

If you can fight the 'Taliban', I can definitely bring you more stray Chosen.Many brothers just want to have a piece of paradise for a stable life, and they are willing to help. "

Sure enough, the gray-bearded Seyit still saved his hand, and he really brought Zhou Qingfeng another time-traveling force of his own.

There are not many people in this faction. Originally, there were more than 40 people. After being attacked by the "Brotherhood", only a dozen or so can still be contacted. They are basically hiding in the backward areas of the Middle East and Central Asia.

The small forces took a very vulgar name called the 'Baath Party'.Seyit is actually a member of the peripheral staff, and he came to Zhou Qingfeng just to make connections and get some assistance.

The 'Baath Party' nest is in Peshawar, Pakistan.There were seven or eight of them there, no money, no guns, no shit.But these guys have good connections—or if they have money and guns, connections will come naturally.

"The Taliban have created a lot of refugees in Afghanistan, and if you have money, you can recruit thousands of them at once. Give them weapons and you can build an army."

In Seyit's description, he can contact a large number of officials and intellectuals of the former Afghan government.Most of these people are now fleeing like bereaved dogs, and they urgently need someone to take them in.

Zhou Qingfeng didn't think much, and decided to intervene in this matter.

The 'Sacred Light' Group formed a trading branch for South and Central Asia.The Southern Xinjiang Railway had just arrived in Kashgar in 99, and the branch office was chosen here.

'Holy Light' first recruited translators who understand Urdu and Pashto in China, and began to study the situation in Afghanistan.

Afghanistan used to be a monarchy, and the capital, Kabul, is quite westernized.Women could wear skirts, have wavy hair, have the right to go out to work and move freely.

But this is limited to the capital.

The serious social division makes the people at the bottom of Afghanistan hate the ruling class very much.After the Soviet Union invaded and withdrew from Afghanistan, this division turned into a warlord melee.

The 'Taliban' is a group of idealistic Islamic student army.They are advanced in arming warlords, but their way of managing the country is closed and old-fashioned, rejecting and even hating industrial civilization and non-Islamic culture.

To defeat the 'Taliban', it is impossible to restore the former Afghan government.This is what the U.S. military did after they invaded Afghanistan, creating a 20-year muddy pond.

China in 2000 was far less powerful than the US military.But what the Turkish Communist Party is best at is taking the grassroots route and discovering the root causes of social conflicts.

The opinion of the "Party and government" person is that "the situation in foreign countries is different from that in China, pay attention to the grounding point, seek truth from facts, and do not seek to change the local status quo, but to seek stability."Keep its tribal system as it is when necessary. '

Fuck, the last sentence is not a good word, it's too cruel.

The move of 'Holy Light' to set up a trading branch in Kashgar cannot be concealed from its enemies. The 'Brotherhood' immediately felt the unpredictability of the changing game.

Pastor Clark discussed with the other two allies, hoping to come up with a solution-the idea of ​​the 'Brotherhood' was indeed guessed by the 'Holy Light' team, and '911' and the associated 'Afghanistan War' were indeed suppressed.

"'Al Qaeda' is suffering from our blows, but the US military has no excuse to enter Central Asia, which will make us lose a trump card to contain China."

For Americans, they are very satisfied with their actions in Northwest China.Although this failed to curb China's development, it greatly restrained China's energy, and incidentally created countless rumors in the world.

But the 'low-key club' and the 'European will' have no interest in doing things in Central Asia, because they have not taken advantage of anything from the beginning to the end.

The senior management of the 'Brotherhood' tried to let the powerful Marcos go to Afghanistan, not to attack the 'Taliban', but to encourage the 'Taliban' to go to Northwest China to make troubles to contain them.

Mark Keshi said that he was very busy, and he was too busy to screen female green candidates in the gentle town of Baghdad. The busy little brother was in a daze——only people with a sick mind would go to kick the week again and again. Qingfeng's steel plate.

But to my surprise, several native chicken candidates who belonged to the "European Will" jumped out and expressed their hope to get funding from the "Brotherhood" to go to Afghanistan to assist the group of lunatics in the "Taliban".

The 'Taliban' wants to blow up the Bamiyan Buddha, and Tuji agrees;

The 'Taliban' wants to extremize the fundamentalism, and Tuji also agrees;

The 'Taliban' wants to carry out terrorist attacks everywhere, and the local chickens are more in favor;

When Zhou Qingfeng took the state funds to build warehouses and warehouses in Kashgar, he was going to use cheap goods to impact the Central Asian society; a team of six selected from Tuji changed planes in Islamabad, Pakistan, and flew to Kabul.

When the 'Holy Light' was preparing to invest in the agriculture and animal husbandry of Kashgar to enhance the local economic strength, promote industrial development, and eliminate the root cause of the turmoil; the selected local chickens met the leader of the 'Taliban', and the two sides discussed how to expand abroad.

When Seyit and other vagrants gathered in Kashgar and brought a group of exiled green intellectuals to receive management training and re-education; the 'Taliban' accepted the suggestion of the native chickens and prepared to grow opium for profit.

A new struggle begins in the dark.

Chapter 25 Cooperation

When Katya stepped out of the khaki-toned Kashgar Railway Station in southern Xinjiang, it was like discovering a foreign city in China.Whether it is architectural style or population composition, it is very different from the mainland.

Southern Xinjiang is too remote. Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang, is far away from the inland, but the distance from it to Kashgar is [-] kilometers, which is equivalent to the imperial capital to Shanghai.

Cars, motorcycles, bicycles, and donkey carts run on the roads in Kashgar.The shelf carts pulled by donkeys alone are rare in other places, which is rare enough.

Melon and fruit stalls and baked naan shops can be seen everywhere on the street, and women basically wear headscarves.Occasionally, one or two can be seen covering the whole body.

When he found Zhou Qingfeng, the Han family man was standing in front of the naan pit at the entrance of a restaurant looking curiously at him.The Uighur uncle who bakes the naan has a long beard and a small cap, and uses a long hook to take out the hot roasted naan from the naan pit.

Seeing Kajia, Zhou Qingfeng was not surprised, he just asked 'Are you hungry'.

The Russian girl sniffed, gestured in English and hand gestures to the Uighur uncle who sold the baked naan, got two baked naan smoothly, and ate and praised how delicious it was.

Zhou Qingfeng took out two yuan and handed it over, and shared a piece of baked naan, which was also delicious.He asked while blowing, "Katya, why don't you come by plane?"

"Your plan must rely on the train to have enough capacity to carry out. How can I know the specific feasibility if I don't take a trip by car?"

Katya gnawed on the naan and did not forget to give a thumbs up and shout 'good'.She is beautiful and has a western face, which made the Uighur uncle who baked the naan laugh out loud.

Just waiting for the uncle to go to work on other things, the Russian girl laughed and whispered to Zhou Qingfeng again: "You know? During the Soviet Union, the imams in Central Asia were very good at raising pigs."

Zhou Qingfeng rolled his eyes.

The big girl lamented again: "But now the men in Russia either drink too much or commit suicide, so the women simply live with the black men from Central Asia.

Some black-haired men went to Moscow to work, and they could sleep the landlord, shopkeeper, and colleagues.Women will even post it backwards for an excuse.

Victor, do you want to try it?You are sure to be welcome. "

Kajia intentionally leaned next to Zhou Qingfeng, bumping him with her plump buttocks and full chest, blinking her eyes, with an obedient expression that wanted a man.

"Let Martha come in person, I can think about it." Zhou Qingfeng focused on eating the baked pancakes.

"It's so heartbreaking, I'm standing in front of you, can't you coax me a few words?" Katya snorted and raised her head unhappy, "I'll tell Martha this, maybe she I will really come to seduce you myself."

After eating half of the baked naan, Kajia yelled, "Don't eat too much carbs", and threw the rest to Zhou Qingfeng.Stretching on the street, she asked, "How did 'Holy Light' think of entering Central Asia?"

Zhou Qingfeng tossed the baked naan into his mouth, walked slowly along the street and said, "We are not entering Central Asia, we are just expanding the commercial market and doing business.

Central Asia has oil and natural gas, as well as abundant animal husbandry resources. It is also the center of Eurasia, and transportation is extremely important.We can't just ignore it all the time.

Considering that Russia has a strong influence on Central Asian countries, I hope you can help.Let's make a fortune together, there is no harm. "

The Wakhan Corridor on the border between China and Afghanistan is very narrow, with an average altitude of 4000 meters, and the mountains are covered by heavy snow all year round.Fighting the 'Taliban' in the past through this path is not feasible.

The country has decided to open the 'Karasu Port' ahead of schedule and enter Afghanistan by detour from Tajikistan in the north.This adds new troubles.

Several "stans" in Central Asia used to be members of the Soviet Union. Although Russia is weakening day by day, it is still valuable to use because "a tiger will never be defeated".

'Sacred Light' wants to pave the way for the 'Belt and Road' in advance, and it can save a lot of effort to pull the hair.Now that Emperor Pu has just come to power, Mao Zi is very poor, and there are many things to talk about.

Katya looked at the lively streets of Kashgar and asked, "Can this city be your logistics base? It is said that it is not peaceful."

"Why not? Now that extremist forces have not yet invaded and the local social environment is relatively stable, it is a good time for us to take the initiative to deal with the 'Taliban'.

As for our internal problems, what should be killed should be killed and what should be arrested.

'Two less and one wide' was explicitly abolished last month.Rebiya died of illness in prison half a month ago, and other separatists are unlikely to get out alive.

Bilingual education will also stop next year, and all textbooks will be unified.Don't even think about Erdogan's 'walking to the grassroots' again, we are vigilant enough to him.

From the perspective of national governance, our government also kept calm when the Northwest was at its most chaotic and did not allow the situation to escalate.Now that there is plenty of time, there are more ways to resolve local conflicts. "

When Zhou Qingfeng said this, he raised his head proudly, "Actually, we are also very worried, not knowing whether our changes will be better in the long run.

So those who insisted on the wrong policy before were sent to hell by me, so as to prevent someone from jumping out and causing trouble in the future.You see, when it's time to be ruthless, we are not relentless. "

Katya smiled at this, not knowing whether she believed it or not.

After walking for a while, Zhou Qingfeng called for a car to take Kajia to the construction site in Kashgar New City.Pointing to a factory under construction, he said:

"Cotton planting in Xinjiang is very advantageous. The central government has invested in this industrial chain. From cotton planting and harvesting to spinning and weaving, at least hundreds of thousands of labor can be absorbed."

"Aren't you going to engage in 'education and training centers' again?"

"Isn't it possible?" Zhou Qingfeng sneered a few times, "The local education is very backward, without vocational education, many young people can't be counted as labor force at all.
