Chapter 129 Ethnic Policy
Regarding how to treat "foreign races" within the jurisdiction of the time-traveling regime, this has been a topic that has been debated within the group since before time-traveling. In fact, the scope of this kind of controversy is not only external, but also internal to the Travel Group. There was a lot of controversy in the early days about the joining of "foreigners" like the North American Gang. Many people even thought that the executive committee would introduce a few foreigners. There is a suspicion of worshiping foreigners. Fortunately, these people from the North American Gang did not disappoint the executive committee. They proved their ability and loyalty to the Time Travel Group with their consistent excellent performance, and finally slowly gained public recognition.
However, there is still a hidden "xenophobic" sentiment within the Crossing Group. The specific manifestation is that many members only recognize that the people in the Ming Dynasty and the areas under its rule are Han Chinese and compatriots, while people outside this range Everyone will be regarded as a foreign race and a potential rival and enemy of the time-traveling group. In particular, those countries and regions with poor relations with China in later generations, such as Japan and Vietnam, are the focus of this "xenophobic" sentiment. A typical example is Yan Chujie, who has always had an unexplainable aversion to Vietnam. If the construction of Xingang had not been able to solve the manpower problem, he might really have stood up and opposed the introduction of Vietnamese immigrants to settle in Xingang.
Judging from the future development prospects of the time-traveling regime, the introduction of multi-ethnic immigrants under the regime is basically inevitable. It is just a matter of time. The formulation of an effective ethnic policy is also one of the tasks that must be completed for the executive committee. Even if no one takes the initiative, it will have to face this problem sooner or later. The current controversy over the job transfer of Japanese Minami Takahashi has only exposed this hidden contradiction in advance.
"The Li and Miao people who work for us now, are they considered our people? Will the political power we want to establish in the future not be able to tolerate so-called aliens? If the territory expands and takes up more places in the future, what will happen then? "What can we do?" Tao Donglai became more and more excited and said generously: "Please think about whether the country we want to build in the future can only be in a corner, and whether it can only be limited to the current areas of Han activity. Inside? ”
Tao Donglai threw out this series of questions like a sledgehammer, hitting the hearts of everyone present. Many people have not thought about this issue in depth before. They only vaguely think that it is natural for Li and Miao people to work for the Crossing Group. However, there still seems to be some inexplicable difference between them and the Han people. And now Tao Donglai has explained the difference - they have not received a unified and effective identity authentication. Are they Yi Di or Chinese? This is a big question.
The Li people and the Miao people are all fine. After all, they are all in the same country, and there is not much emotional separation. However, it is difficult for a considerable number of people in the crossing group to accept the status of naturalized citizens from other countries. It seems that there are still cognitive barriers. And if Gao Qiaonan can successfully obtain the status of a naturalized citizen, it means that this matter will become a precedent for ethnic issues, and future naturalizations of foreign races are likely to be handled in this way, and eventually laws and regulations will be formed.
"But if these other ethnic groups or races account for too high a proportion under our rule, will new racial problems arise?" Meng He was still unwilling to give up on the Han chauvinism he insisted on, and continued to treat Tao Donglai asked.
"If all our naturalized citizens can speak Chinese, write Chinese characters, respect Chinese etiquette, abide by Chinese laws, and work and live as Haihan people, how can racial problems occur? Meng He, in our executive committee There will be no racial distinctions under the Hui's rule. No matter who he is, if he wants to become a naturalized citizen, he must first regard himself as a Haihan person." Tao Donglai answered his question patiently.
Meng He's eyes lit up when he heard this: "I seem to understand something... Mr. Tao, your Han chauvinism seems to be more extreme than mine!"
"I am not extreme, this is science!" Tao Donglai immediately corrected Meng He's statement: "There are no Li people, Miao people, Vietnamese, or Japanese people under our rule, only Haihan people! In the territory we will manage from now on , we should all follow this principle. If we can't assimilate in one year, it will take ten years. If one generation doesn't work, it will take several generations. Our opponents are not internal. Those aliens who are unwilling to naturalize are our real enemies."

Tom Wang raised his hand to indicate that he had something to say. Tao Donglai nodded to him. Tom Wang stood up and said, "Can I understand the ethnic policy that Mr. Tao mentioned to be similar to that of the United States? It is inclusive of immigrants, and any All nationalities and races can join the country we build in the future.”
Tao Donglai smiled and said: "It is true that many ethnic groups and races coexist in the United States, but the racial problem in the United States is also quite serious. I don't think we need to follow the old American path on ethnic issues. The United States has historically treated black people and The things that the Chinese, Indians, and Mexicans have done are destined to never disappear completely from the memories of these ethnic groups. We must try our best to avoid similar situations from happening in the areas under our control. Of course, this does not mean that. The U.S.’s ethnic policy has no merit at all. How to absorb people from different ethnic groups into the same social life track, how to establish the dominant position of Han culture in language and culture, and how to guide naturalized people to gradually ignore ethnic groups. Differences and establishing awareness of nationality are all aspects we need to learn. ”
"I hope that in the future, the ethnic column will no longer appear on the ID cards of the Haihan Republic. All citizens will only be able to authenticate their identity by nationality, and there will no longer be any racial distinction! Wait for our generation a hundred years from now , can leave a regime without ethnic issues to future generations!" Tao Donglai finally concluded the ethnic policy theory he designed in a short and powerful speech.
Speaking of which, there will naturally be no problems with Gao Qiaonan's job transfer. However, the list of dispatched personnel of the Military and Police Department was still not approved immediately, because the executive committee members saw on the list that the person in charge of the dispatched armed personnel this time was an unfamiliar name - Qian Tiandun.
"If I remember correctly, this person doesn't seem to be a key member of the Military and Police Department, right?" Gu Kai asked Yan Chujie holding the list. Almost all the more capable people in the Military and Police Department are now in charge of each department. In addition to the two big bosses Tao Donglai and Yan Chujie, there are also the North American Six who have been at the forefront of public opinion, Xiang Chinan who presided over the construction of the hydropower station, and the management Ren Liang from the labor camp, Gu Wei who was in charge of the new barracks, Harugong who had just been promoted to a supervisor in the farm commune, and Mu Xiabai, Feng Annan, and He Xi who were assigned to work in the Cliff Office, could all be regarded as military police. A person with outstanding abilities. But this Qian Tiandun seemed relatively unfamiliar. Gu Kai remembered that this name did not appear in the teams sent to Yazhou twice and the inspection team to Xingang this time. Why would the Military and Police Department suddenly recommend such a silent person before? Can someone take up such an important position as the military commander of Xingang?
"Let me explain this situation." Yan Chujie seemed to have expected that this candidate would be questioned. He nodded and explained: "Qian Tiandun is twenty-three years old, a native of Beijing, and graduated from the National Defense University. He served in the 38th Army before joining Time Travel. , lieutenant deputy company commander, was sent abroad many times He received military training, participated in various military exercises, and also carried out missions to combat the three evil forces in the northwest region. Our Military and Police Department repeatedly discussed candidates and finally believed that Comrade Qian Tiandun was more suitable to serve as the chief military officer stationed in the Xingang area. .”
Gu Kai's jaw almost dropped to the table when he heard it. It took him a long time to speak out: "How many more of such a powerful person does your military and police department hide?"
"This is a military secret, no comment!" Yan Chujie responded with a serious look.
"This Qian Tiandun...was an active-duty officer before time travel?" Meng He noticed that Yan Chujie's introduction did not mention this person's retirement status, and couldn't help but ask.
Yan Chujie glanced at Meng He and said nothing, but nodded to confirm his guess.
"An active-duty officer came to participate in time travel? What is this? You actually approved it?" Meng He couldn't believe it.
At the beginning, the organizing committee was extremely strict in reviewing and approving people who signed up to participate in the time travel, and they kept away from candidates who might have problems. Especially those who were engaged in police work, such as Ren Liang and others, every candidate was reviewed before being selected. Review again, lest there be any mistakes. Under such circumstances, the Military and Police Department actually quietly approved an active-duty officer to come in, which made Meng He so surprised.
"Comrade Qian Tiandun participated in the time-travel for his own personal reasons, which I will not announce here." Tao Donglai took over: "But his joining was jointly reviewed by our military and police departments. In the end, It was unanimously determined that this comrade is politically qualified, ideologically determined, has excellent military skills, is familiar with the grassroots work of the modern army and has certain command capabilities. The most important thing is that he has rich experience in dispatching and has performed many missions in complex overseas environments. Not only in our military police department or the time travel group, even if he is placed in the active army, he is a very rare talent. Based on the consideration of cherishing talents, we finally approved the recruitment of him to join the time travel. "
"If he's so powerful, then why didn't the Military Police Department send him out in previous operations?" Meng He continued to ask relentlessly.
Tao Donglai and Yan Chujie exchanged glances, shook their heads and said: "This issue involves the highest military secrets. We cannot announce it on this occasion. If you have any questions about this, you can go to the Military and Police Department to inquire about it separately. Matters.”
The corner of Meng He's mouth twitched, but in the end he did not continue to ask further. He knew that even if he went to the Military and Police Department to inquire about the matter privately, he would probably be fooled by these old fritters with some innocuous remarks. Military secrets that cannot be leaked? An active-duty military officer incognito? Meng He could only sneer at this excuse. It was said in such a mysterious way that it was like those bloody King of Soldiers novels on the Internet, except that it was not explicitly stated that Qian Tiandun was a special soldier. The more secretive the Military and Police Department was, the more Meng He felt that there was something ulterior in it.
