Chapter 168: Consumables are used to their full potential (Second update, please subscribe)
"Ascending channel?"
Fang Zhanbo looked at his lord with confusion. What did this mean?
"My lord, you don't want them to be officials! This, this is not allowed..."
Before he could finish, Zhu Xianhai burst into laughter...
"Be an official? Can you become an An Lushan?"
For a moment, Zhu Xianhai even wanted to kick Fang Zhanbo off the carriage. Does this kid really think he is Emperor Xuanzong of Tang?
It's true that we like beautiful women, but we are not foolish.
Everyone likes cheap cannon fodder, but that doesn't mean it's used mindlessly.
"Please forgive me, my lord. I made a mistake, made a mistake..."
The lord's laughter made Fang Zhanbo's heart panic. He wanted to kneel down and apologize immediately, but there was obviously no place to kneel on the carriage. Of course, this was not popular in Nanhua.
"It's not that I said anything wrong. You're right to remind me. But what about these Japanese? They are different. They are all ronin. They don't even have a family, let alone a country. What is this upward channel I'm talking about? Five years..."
Looking out the car window, Zhu Xianhai smiled.
"After they have served for five years, they will have the opportunity to be naturalized as Chinese citizens and enjoy the same treatment as the Chinese soldiers in the security team. Not only will they receive a salary of ten yuan a month, but they will also receive a share of one hundred acres of land after retirement."
Of course, after naturalization, even their names had to be changed to Chinese surnames. This is not just the case for the Japanese. The Mapuche people are also like this. For example, the Miao people in the mountains of the southwest also had their own names in the past, but over time they all used Chinese surnames and Chinese names.
In the future of Nanhua, no matter who you are or what your identity is, there is only one way to go: either become sinicized or you will be unable to move forward.
"Uh, this, this... is this an upward channel?"
Fang Zhanbo was dumbfounded. What kind of upward channel was this?
"Yi Yang, you have to remember one thing, the Chinese are noble. It is absolutely impossible for outsiders to naturalize and become Chinese without paying a certain price!"
With a cold smile, Zhu Xianhai thought of the Qing Dynasty's preferential treatment of foreigners, and felt helpless in his heart. This Qing Dynasty... has been kneeling for a long time. In the past, it kneeled to the Manchus, and now it kneels to the foreigners. As for the Han people... they are just common people, so they just need to kneel.
"They are either talented and can be used by China, like those Western experts and technicians in Nanhua, or they have shed blood for Nanhua. Otherwise, they can never be naturalized as Han Chinese, including those Mapuche people. They are just Mapuche people. I heard that some people are advocating that Han and Mapuche are of the same race? Are they worthy of it?"
After looking at Fang Zhanbo, Zhu Xianhai did not expose him. The saying that "Han horses are of the same race" was said by this guy.
"Our nation has created the most brilliant civilization in the world. If there had not been slavery from other races, how could Chinese civilization have declined so much? But what did the Mapuche and Indians create? They are of the same race, and it's amazing that they could come up with such a plan."
"My Lord, it is only to win over the Mapuche people."
Fang Zhanbo said somewhat embarrassedly.
"It's just a saying, just a saying."
In fact, the reason why Fang Zhanbo said this was because he saw that his lord seemed to want to win over the Mapuche people, so he "worried about what his lord was worried about" and took the initiative to help his lord solve his problems. However, he never thought that his flattery would backfire.
"Some things are best left unsaid. Remember, those who try to please others will not have a good ending. The Manchus are high and mighty, and have enslaved the Han people for more than two hundred years. Have they ever said, 'Manchus and Han are of the same race'? But what about us? We keep on licking their asses, wishing to abandon our ancestors, and join the banners. We don't want to be good people, but to be slaves! If you don't take yourself seriously, no one will take you seriously. The more you take others seriously, the more you will fall behind."
Pointing at the foreign soldiers outside the car window, Zhu Xianhai sneered.
"Look, I only give them four dollars a month and tell them clearly that their treatment is worse than that of the Chinese soldiers. The reason why it is worse is because they are not Chinese. Therefore, they are willing to be naturalized as Chinese and work for us willingly. They can't wait to become Chinese. What is this? This is human nature! Tell me, if I give them special treatment, higher wages, and better food in order to win them over, do you think they will be willing to become Chinese?"
"I'm sure I won't be happy about that. If I become a Chinese, the treatment I'll receive will be..."
Fang Zhanbo understood instantly and bowed quickly.
"Oh, I almost made a big mistake, but I was awakened by your words."
“Human…”
Zhu Xianhai smiled and said no more.
In fact, there was only one thing in his mind - still cheap!
If you treat them well and give them preferential treatment, they will not know why and will bully the host. For example, the case of Nico in the United States and France is a clear example. In this era, people do not treat them as human beings. However, they are all very docile and absolutely good citizens.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. We should be almost at the North River by now!"
The so-called "North River" is the Colorado River north of the Negro River in northern South China. In Zhu Xianhai's plan, the fertile black soil between the two rivers will be the most important agricultural reclamation area in South China, and of course a buffer zone. In particular, the North River will be the northern defense line of South China.
In the simulator, the Fortress of the North River was extremely effective, and during the years-long war, the Argentine army never managed to capture the Fortress of the North River.
Since it is a successful experience, of course we should learn from it.
Therefore, as early as the beginning of the year, Zhu Xianhai and his staff jointly planned and formulated the Beihe Fortress. The so-called "Beihe Fortress" is more of a defense line than a fortress.
Because it is not just a fortress, but a line of defense. Perhaps in history, no such line of defense has ever played any role. For example, France's Maginot Line became a joke, and Germany's Siegfried Line was useless. Going further back, the Great Wall built by the Ming Dynasty was also beaten into a sieve by the Jiannu.
But for Nanhua, which is short of human resources, it has to rely on the defense line to make up for the shortage of human resources.
This also means that Zhu Xianhai must rely on the defense, but he cannot be superstitious about the defense.
But no matter what, building a line of defense along the North River with cannons, fortresses and trenches would definitely be extremely useful in this era. Such a line of defense would be enough to stop an army of 100,000!
In fact, Argentina did not even have 100,000 troops to mobilize.
Naturally, building a defense line became one of South China’s largest military projects this year.
At this moment, Zhu Xianhai went to Beihe to inspect the progress of the project. This is also the reason why Zhu Xianhai brought the foreign troops there - what is the biggest use of these four-yuan "cheap cannon fodder" now?
It can effectively fill the shortage of human resources in Nanhua. After all, the Beihe Fortress needs troops to be stationed there.
Of course, in the future, after these "naturalized citizens" are naturalized, they will also be settled in the North River area. On the surface, they will be farmers, but in fact, they are cannon fodder. They will be the first wave of mobilization after the invasion. I believe that these naturalized citizens will fight to the death to defend their land and property. The bravery and fearlessness of these naturalized citizens who come from samurai families will surely teach the Argentines a lesson at that time.
Consumables!
Of course, it’s better to make the best use of it!
Not only is it running out, but it’s also running out of value!
I have set up a book club: 335260551. Everyone is welcome to join and discuss and deduce the plot together.
