[1271 Why did Tsarist Russia not counterattack Central Asia and Siberia]
Princess Katrina Kaifu was a little embarrassed by the Emperor Hua. She was not a person who loved fantasy, and she couldn't think of a way to make such an sigh.
"Well, I know the two problems the princess mentioned. Most of the people in Central Asia come from the Northwest, and some are from North Korea and Siberia who have moved thousands of miles from North Korea and Siberia. Among them, North Koreans account for more than 300,000! Their adaptability is definitely not good. The climate in Central Asia is too different from that of North Korea. Second, Xinjiang is indeed backward, but these have nothing to do with Your Majesty. It has been like this for thousands of years. On the contrary, in the past two years of your Majesty, it has been much better to strengthen Mandarin and open primary and secondary schools." Zeng Siping smiled at the cute president.
Emperor Hua forced 300,000 Koreans to move to Central Asia Province within 4 months two years ago.
Ninety percent of the population of Central Asia Province is now migrated from later, while most of the original population of Central Asia Province has been moved to Mongolia and far East and West Siberia.
This series of migrations quickly completed the control of China over the three new provinces of North Korea, Central Asia and Siberia, but China spent a total of nearly 300 million Chinese yuan.
This was a considerable effort at the beginning of the reunification of China! Now China still owes a lot of debts to complete the basic industry.
The Far East Koreans were divided into two batches and transported to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan by train and long-distance bus. Due to the large population of migrants, China attached great importance to the situation of North Korean immigrants.
The relevant departments of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan have made corresponding education, employment, housing and other arrangements for immigration.
The central government of China also established a special committee to formulate measures to resettle North Koreans economically and culturally.
There are a total of 66,442 Far East Koreans migrating to Central Asia, with a total of 371,781 people. Most of them have become farmers, while a small number of them have entered factories and become workers and staff.
The local government and immigrants jointly built cities that meet the requirements of Emperor Hua. After several years of hard work, the North Koreans built agriculture and reclaimed wasteland in the local area. Through their own efforts, they finally gained a firm foothold in Central Asia.
China also issued them a new "indefinite, undestined registration" passport. But at the same time, a ban was issued in the Far East, prohibiting North Koreans from living in the Far East Krai.
Overall, the relationship between the Koreans in Central Asia and the moved Chinese and former Russians was harmonious. This speed still satisfies Emperor Hua, but Emperor Hua is very clear that cities cannot be formed in the short term. The construction of cities, coupled with railways, will take at least 5 years to form a scale!
These millions of immigrants have greatly promoted the local economic construction and infrastructure improvement in Central Asia.
Although China is still in the stage of industrial basic construction, today's China is no longer Wuxia Amon, and its comprehensive national strength is above Tsarist Russia; and Tsarist Russia is squeezed by European powers due to historical reasons, and its national destiny is worrying and urgently needs China's sharing and support.
These two points determine that Tsarist Russia cannot directly destroy China's strategy of westward advance to Central Asia. But this does not mean that Tsarist Russia has no choice, or that it has no idea to retake Central Asia.
As the former controller of facts in Central Asia, Tsarist Russia can still put pressure on Central Asia.
Although Tsarist Russia has experienced a series of attacks from China and has just fought a war with the Ottoman Turkish Empire and was greatly damaged, it cannot be said that Tsarist Russia does not have such an idea.
The hot pillow of Central Asia is self-evident. For Tsarist Russia, what bound his hands and feet and made him unwilling to interfere vigorously?
The current concerns of Tsarist Russia are the first to be affected by Central Asia. Its control has declined significantly, and 90% of the population has been relocated by Queen Hua, and it is no longer the original group of people.
Moreover, traditionally, Central Asia is far away from the core area of major geographical forces such as China, Europe, Islam, and is inland and has a relatively closed geographical environment. Therefore, it has always been a marginal sector that various forces compete for, and lacks stable ownership.
With the advent of industrial civilization, human beings' ability to conquer nature has been greatly enhanced, and North Asia, an area that was originally not suitable for large-scale human activities, was gradually developed.
The harsh geographical environment determines that the degree of development in North Asia is still limited. At least east of Urshan, Tsarist Russia's largest core geographical area in North Asia is still formed.
With the Ural Industrial Zone as support and supplemented by modern and developed means of transportation, Tsarist Russia was still able to project geopolitical influence to Central Asia.
It is impossible for China to cross the Pamir Plateau to project influence into Central Asia, so the Emperor of China spent a lot of money. It was like building the Central Asian province like the Chinese mainland. It really wanted to integrate Central Asian province into the Chinese territory. This poses great risks, because this is the Tsarist Russia, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and even Germany and Austria, the five-war land that so many forces compete for!
Once the country invests a lot of money and is taken away by others, this is a multiple loss. The cute president's China has just been unified, and there is no powerful army that can ensure the foolproof of Central Asia Province.
Only Tsarist Russia is bordering on a large scale with Central Asia, and the geographical barriers between the two are relatively weak. In addition, its overall strength is strong and the Ural Industrial Zone is adjacent to Central Asia. These many advantages make it impossible for Central Asia to fall back into the hands of Tsarist Russia.
However, the Emperor of China believes that Tsarist Russia's advantage is only relative.
The Ural Industrial Zone is not a high-quality industrial zone, and its scale is not too large; Russia and Central Asia are closely related to geopolitical relations, and from an absolute perspective, there is still a great alienation between the two.
It was just because Central Asia was extremely closed and backward, and other major civilization systems were difficult to enter, which made Tsarist Russia get a bargain.
After the reunification of China, the situation gradually changed.
On the one hand, under the leadership of the cute president, China's economic scale is constantly expanding and is climbing to the top five economic powers in the world; ahead of China are Britain, France, Germany, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Tsarist Russia, and the United States. In fact, China has now entered the top eight in the world.
On the other hand, under the rise of China, Tsarist Russia has been declining, and its industrial system has been under construction, but now it is shrinking even more seriously.
This rise and fall of the other has caused subtle changes in the geopolitical influence of the two countries on Central Asia.
