Chapter 128 The Difference between Huayi and Huayi

"But we now maintain a very good relationship with Ming Dynasty. There are many official and private communication channels. And as the scale of our trade continues to expand, the interest entanglement between Ming Dynasty and us will only become deeper and deeper. I don't think so.

I believe that there will be a possibility that the relationship between the two parties will break down in the near future or even require war. In just one or two years, we will have cultivated enough vested interests within the Ming Dynasty. There will be more and more people like Luo Shengdong, and they will

He spared no effort to maintain the relationship with us and deal with the hidden dangers that may cause trouble for us." Schneider will naturally not be easily persuaded by Yan Chujie's words. In his opinion, Yan Chujie's attitude is more like an attempt to achieve his goal.

Intentional alarmism.

"The Ming Dynasty is one of our external threats, but it is not the only threat!" As one of the supervisors of the Military and Police Department, Tao Donglai really couldn't watch his comrades continue to fight alone, so he could only choose to participate in this battle.

During the debate: "Everyone here must not forget that our future opponents will also include the Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, British, and countless pirates in the large sea area from Wusongkou to Malacca! Any of these forces

None of them will be less of a threat than the Ming Dynasty, and they will never treat us as descendants of the same clan as the Ming Dynasty. Our rhetoric of origins from the Han Dynasty will not have much impact on these maritime forces.

Special effect. Don’t think that only pirates can commit plunder. If we don’t have enough strength to protect ourselves, these Western powers will also treat us like a piece of fat and swallow us up!”

"Don't think that these naturalized citizens are qualified soldiers after one or two months of intensive training. Their current combat skills are basically zero! To be serious, these soldiers and security guards don't even know what war is.

Their understanding is not even as good as those keyboard strategists among us! Without years of training, they would not be able to fight on the battlefield. Compared with the guardsmen of the Ming Dynasty, they just line up more neatly!"

"Also, don't ignore the time it takes to form an army. The army may only take one or two years to form an army, but for the navy, which we are very dependent on in the future, one or two years may only be enough to train a group of sailors.

That’s it, it’s still far away from the requirements of becoming an army! Where will our future navy come from? It doesn’t have to be trained batch by batch from the recruit camp! Isn’t one or two thousand a month a lot of expenses? Compared with the navy, the army’s starting point

It’s considered a small one, but if we start complaining about suffering and poverty now, will the navy still be able to do something about it in the future?”

Tao Donglai rarely spoke so seriously in internal meetings. After he finished speaking, there was a brief silence in the conference room. Finally, Schneider broke the silence: "Mr. Tao, I don't mean to oppose the Military and Police Department."

We should at least wait until..."

"We can wait, but our opponents won't be so kind as to wait any longer!" Yan Chujie interrupted Schneider before he could finish his words: "Mr. Tao also made it very clear just now. These naturalized soldiers and security guards we trained

, it will take some time to truly form combat effectiveness. In fact, they can’t even meet the quality requirements of future recruits, so they have to invest in deployment because the situation requires it. Although we will take the route of elite troops in the future, these soldiers on hand now

They are not elite soldiers. According to the Military and Police Department, they have not even reached the level of a qualified soldier. All we can do now is to expand the scale of the establishment and make a fuss about the quantity."

"Well, I guess I don't have a better way to convince you, but I want to remind you that the next quarter's budget of the Military and Police Department should be readjusted, and I suggest that starting from next quarter, the military budget must be passed by the Executive Committee

It can only be cashed in the Ministry of Finance after deliberation at the meeting. After all, our executive committee model is a democratic system, not a military regime, right?" Faced with the firm attitude of the two bosses, Schneider reluctantly gave up and continued.

Confrontation, but he still hopes to put a restriction on the military and police department in the rules of the game.

This time Tao Donglai did not insist anymore and nodded: "This is what should be done. In fact, I think it is necessary for each department to prepare a budget for next year's development plan at the end of the year. Since we have already started

When the internal currency settlement system is implemented, budget and final accounting methods should be promoted accordingly. Mr. Shi should be very clear about the importance of this, right?"

"Of course." Seeing that Tao Donglai's attitude had softened, Schneider cheered up and explained: "Preparing the government's annual fiscal revenue and expenditure budget is the core of the financial work of the transnational regime, and it is also the difference between an emerging regime like ours.

One of the biggest differences from the feudal regime. With the government budget, we can scientifically formulate development plans and effectively conduct financial supervision of various functional departments. On this issue, I unconditionally support Mr. Tao’s proposal. The annual budget system should indeed be implemented as soon as possible.

be implemented.”

Although it was slightly off topic, the executive committee finally reached a consensus on this and approved the military and police department's recruitment expansion plan. However, when reviewing the list of expatriates of the military and police department, new questions were raised.

"Why is there still the name of Little Japan in it?" Menghe pointed at the personnel list and shouted: "Isn't Takahashi Minami the foreman of the labor camp? How come he is also on the list of expatriates of the Military and Police Department?"

"Let me explain this." Yan Chujie said: "This little Japanese has always performed well during the labor camp, and his organizational skills are also good. The most important thing is that he has a high degree of recognition of our traversing regime and is willing to work for us.

Work. Ren Liang made several reports to the Military and Police Department, and he mentioned that he hoped to transfer Gao Qiaonan's status to a naturalized citizen and give him a chance to advance."

Ren Liang had managed the labor camp in an orderly manner before, and also proposed a far-reaching employment plan such as the "labor hierarchy". The executive committee quite recognized his ability. Since this candidate was proposed by Ren Liang

, Meng He would not question Ren Liang's vision, but Yan Chujie's answer did not answer all the questions in his mind: "Then what is the specific purpose of sending this little Japan over there?"

Yan Chujie responded: "Continue to do the supervisory work that he is good at. The Vietnamese population imported into Xingang is likely to reach one or two thousand people in a short period of time, and most of the people we send there are technicians and armed personnel.

There are very few managers on real construction sites, and Ren Liang believes that people like Gao Qiaonan can play a greater role in Xingang than the labor camp foreman."

"Is it a natural talent for little Japan to be good at management?" Meng He joked smoothly.

"It's not so much talent as it is acquired habits." Ning Qi explained for Yan Chujie: "The bushido they pursue is a system of absolute obedience. For lower-level samurai, unconditional execution of the orders of superiors is

Their bounden duty, so in our opinion, Takahashi Minami's obedience has always been very good, and he will also use his own standards to require and train his subordinates."

"Nan Takahashi has always been a scapegoat in the labor camp. We use Japanese to manage the Vietnamese and let Takahashi Nan play the image of the villain. This can actually avoid conflicts between us and Vietnamese immigrants to a certain extent.

A direct conflict." Yan Chujie added.

Speaking of this topic, Tao Donglai couldn't help but express his views: "As for the racial issue of naturalized people, I think everyone should not pay too much attention to it. Multi-ethnic and even multi-racial races coexist under our management. Such

We will face this situation sooner or later. In the future, in our factories and troops, it is very likely that Japanese, Vietnamese, Koreans, Mongolians, European whites and even African blacks will join us. We should not limit ourselves to future generations.

Cognition, taking language, ethnicity, race, and skin color as the boundaries that distinguish between countries, inside and outside, our standards for recruiting naturalized people should be based on the basic recognition of the social system we implement, and the height of our political power.

loyalty!"

"Regarding Gao Qiaonan's work arrangements, I think this is a good opportunity for us to solve ethnic issues systematically in the future. Everyone here should know that our country has suffered too much due to wrong ethnic policies in future generations.

If we look into the root cause, I believe that the system's differential treatment of various ethnic groups is the biggest source of trouble! We do not engage in "two small and one lenient", but we cannot treat other ethnic groups and races in a discriminatory manner.

Only in this way can naturalized people of different nationalities and races identify with their new identities to the greatest extent!”

"Mr. Tao, the ethnic policy you mentioned is not bad, but I think it is difficult for a Han nationalist like me to agree with your point of view. Doesn't this weaken the status of us Han people in disguise?" There has always been a strong voice.

Meng He, who had an imperial-Han ideological bent, immediately questioned Tao Donglai's statement.

"Are you saying this because you want to talk about the Huayi debate? Your view is not Han chauvinism, but narrow nationalism." Tao Donglai immediately retorted: "Even according to what our ancestors said, based on "Spring and Autumn Annals"

" and the 'Three Rites' to distinguish the Chinese from the barbarians are only based on culture. To put it bluntly, they abide by our social system and cultural inheritance. That is, the Chinese. Our ancestors never said that we should distinguish based on skin color or race.

To distinguish Huayi. What we need to do is to assimilate the naturalized people culturally and institutionally, instead of distinguishing the naturalized people from the beginning according to nationality, race, etc., and distinguish Han people from Han people.

As a non-Han ethnic group, if we do that, wouldn’t we be on the wrong path of future generations again?”
