In the first half of this year, except for the earth-shattering biochemical crisis, the world was basically calm. There were occasional small-scale conflicts, but the impact was not far-reaching or huge. The situation in Iraq is still chaotic. The United States and China still have certain differences on how to control the situation in Iraq. Negotiations are relatively slow. However, both the Chinese army and the American army have begun to attack some Iraqi warlords. The level of war is slightly lower. Slow down.
But there are undercurrents hidden under Pinghu, and the world is far from as peaceful as ordinary people think.
In the spring of 1991, the Afghan Taliban, which had accumulated enough strength, captured the capital Kabul under Omar's call and occupied this important northern town. The puppet regime was completely eliminated. However, there are still some sporadic armed forces of the Northern Alliance in the northern region who refuse to accept the leadership of the Taliban. Omar delivered an important speech in front of the international media, instructing Afghanistan not to tolerate any undisciplined individuals or insurgents who are not loyal to the Taliban's central government and act on their own. In the end, you can only dig your own grave.
However, Omar did not use too many regular Taliban troops to engage in such counter-insurgency activities. Instead, he had a strong sense of "mobilizing the masses" and called on ordinary Afghans not to provide any help to the insurgents and to provide them to the Taliban. He provided generous rewards and protection to any informants on his whereabouts and intelligence, and the Afghans were tired of this war-torn life. Afghanistan¡¯s already prosperous southern region is very desirable to many locals, so many people believe that if the Afghan people By completing his unification, Marr will be able to help Afghanistan get back on track -
On January 1, Omar officially announced the founding of the country in Kandahar. The country was named the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. It implemented a policy of integrating politics and religion. He himself became the new king of Afghanistan. His and Anina's eldest son Karim became the third in line to the throne. The first heir.
Because of Qi Yiming¡¯s actions, the Taliban and the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan in this world are completely different from the repressive, closed, ignorant and violent Taliban regime on the other side. When Omar was in charge of the Taliban, although he demanded the purity of faith and implemented the integration of politics and religion, he actually promoted the construction of a lot of secularization. For example, the liberation of women's rights has received widespread attention and high praise from the international community.
It¡¯s hard to imagine that Afghanistan, which is still war-torn, may be second only to Lebanon, known as the ¡°Paris of the Middle East,¡± in its emphasis on women¡¯s rights in the entire Islamic world. Women do not need to wear a black headscarf to go out, and can wear less revealing but trendy clothes on the streets; more importantly, they have equal rights to work and education as men. In many Islamic countries, women are not allowed to drive. Afghanistan, however, does not prohibit
Some more radical feminist organizations even visited Kandahar to inspect, and then took photos with Omar, a handsome bearded man, and even took photos of him kissing Omar on the cheek. Some people suggested that Omar should be awarded the award for his great contribution to the liberation of women's rights. A Nobel Peace Prize.
In addition to improvements in human rights, economic improvements are also very important. The Taliban in another dimension were too entangled in religious laws and neglected the construction of people's livelihood, which caused public dissatisfaction and was ultimately unsustainable. Drawing lessons from past mistakes, Omar attaches great importance to the recovery of people's livelihood and economy.
In addition to organizing ordinary Afghan farmers to resume agricultural production and ensuring the local people's basic living rations, Omar also used the convenience of being loyal to China to attract a number of Chinese companies to help Afghanistan build infrastructure. , such as basic electricity, running water, transportation, etc., are already similar to those in Kandahar.
Afghanistan has relatively rich industrial and mining resources, and Omar also pushed for the Afghanistan branch line on the China-Pakistan Railway. Therefore, after these mineral resources are mined, they can be transported to Europe or East Asia by sea, or directly into the interior of China. This It will also become a major source of foreign exchange and economy for Afghanistan, which is still relatively poor and backward.
Many people have obtained jobs, their living conditions have improved, and especially they have gained peace during the war, which has given the Taliban unimaginable support. Coupled with the religious policies promoted by the Taliban, educating a wide range of ordinary Muslims has also Increased their loyalty to the Taliban.
A gradually becoming stronger and more stable Afghanistan is actually an important link in Qi Yiming's strategic chain, holding back Central Asia and connecting the South Asian subcontinent. Especially at this time, changes in the Soviet Union are about to occur. If necessary, Qi Yiming will also Will use the power of Afghanistan to put pressure on the Soviet Union in another direction.
In the north of China, another country is also experiencing a completely different change, this country is Mongolia.
Although Mongolia had already become independent under the control of the Soviet Union before liberation, this independence was definitely not in the true sense. Mongolia had actually been a Soviet colony for decades. The Soviet army is still stationed here, and the only defense is to the south. Celestial dynasty. However, starting from 1987, the Soviet Union, which was strategically shrinking, had to withdraw its fists, especially the Soviet Union.The failures in Afghanistan and Xinjiang made the Soviets believe that in the face of China's large-scale steel torrent, a Mongolia that had nothing to do with the Soviet Union would be more likely to play a buffering role.
Mongolia¡¯s bad debt is actually very difficult to settle. Before Qi Yiming traveled through time, there were various keyboard strategists and netizens on the Internet debating whether the loss of Mongolia should be attributed to CPC or KNT. . According to Qi Yiming, in fact, no one should be blamed for this debt. Although Outer Mongolia was lost during the Republic of China, it was actually not much different from the land that was cut off in the late Qing Dynasty. Of course, because the Mongolian people mainly live in this area, it has other directional meanings. Loosely speaking, the nature of Mongolia is actually very similar to that of Vietnam. It was previously a vassal state of China and eventually became independent.
There are also various people on the Internet who are nostalgic for restoring the glory and territory of Greater China, and even concocted fake news like "The Great Hural of Mongolia voted to return to China multiple times." Qi Yiming's father went to Mongolia for business and had some knowledge of the situation there. In fact, Mongolians, like Vietnam, have a hard time having a good impression of China. Those Mongolians who resisted the invasion of China (mainly against the Qing Dynasty, such as Qinggun Zabu) were commemorated as national heroes; the Mongols were innately afraid that China, with its large population and powerful power, would one day annex them. Therefore, there are very serious Nazi nationalist believers in Mongolia, and the main targets of attack are the Chinese, especially the Han people.
When Mongolia became independent, China had to obey the Yalta system and endure the rude and brutal Stalin's provocation. In the final analysis, it was still too weak. At that time, Stalin threatened Xinjiang, Northeast and other issues, and the Soviet army had already entered the Northeast, facing The furry bear was more ferocious than Japan at its end. At that time, China was unable to resist, whether it was CP or KNT.
At this point in time, Qi Yiming has done a lot of research, but he is still somewhat uncertain about the future of Mongolia. In terms of strength, the population of Mongolia is the same as that of a Chinese city, just over one million. The strength of the Soviet army is simply not enough to resist a Chinese heavy armored division. Even if there is a Soviet army, it cannot compete with the PLA, but it can take back this kind of force with force. Things are not good-looking, and may cause resistance from the locals. Although Qi Yiming has a spiritual beacon tower, the stage one beacon tower cannot reverse such strong hostility and opposition, so he is not that big to use force against Mongolia. confidence.
His methods are mainly similar to dealing with the Far East of the Soviet Union, using methods of economic penetration and interest linkage. In recent years, due to Qi Yiming's powerful centralized agricultural product procurement and market rationing system, many herdsmen in Inner Mongolia's pastoral areas have been able to obtain excellent livestock breeds. Finally, sales were guaranteed and economic conditions grew rapidly. In recent years, some large cities in Inner Mongolia have also developed rapidly. In addition to industry and mining, agriculture and animal husbandry are also very eye-catching. Because of the convenient transportation, many cheap goods can be circulated and consumed in Inner Mongolia without hindrance. The Mongolians are actually a nation with relatively good business acumen. Some smart herdsmen began to think of smuggling. They hitched their own carriages and purchased batches of rare goods in Outer Mongolia from surrounding towns, including flashlights, They can dump batteries, canned fruits, even diesel generators and various tools overseas.
The border defense also received the order and turned a blind eye. Therefore, in the past two years, just like the Northeast, a large-scale border smuggling trade has emerged, and many people have made a fortune from it. Basically, after making two or three trips like this, the herdsmen no longer need to use their own horse-drawn carriages to transport goods. Instead, they go to big cities such as Hohhot or Baotou and buy a new version of Jiefang Truck, Dongfeng Truck, etc., and directly drive on the grassland to sell goods. Originally, the herdsmen thought that they should do some border defense, but the border guards would not dare to accept this money, and their future would be ruined immediately, so they were much more cautious.
The direct consequences of this kind of smuggling border trade have given the herdsmen in Outer Mongolia the illusion that the lives of their Mongolian compatriots in Inner Mongolia are much better than the days when a large group like them sometimes suffers from hunger. Not only do they There are pastures, horses and sheep, and even your own car, where you can drink spirits and all kinds of fun things.
A natural thought will appear in some people's minds: "It would be great if I were also from Inner Mongolia."
At this time, the main object of hatred for the Mongols was Lao Maozi. Even when the Soviet troops withdrew, the Mongolian aunts would spit on the train as a sign of contempt. Although they don't have much favorable impressions of China, they are still better than the Soviet Union. In fact, issues such as national ownership will always be a problem that the powerful, intellectuals and angry youths struggle with. As long as the general public is not misplaced, such as being colonized, they probably have no idea about a new nationality. It would be too resistant.
Taking a step back, even if Qi Yiming cannot naturalize Mongolia, he can still use the Nanyang model to control this vast and sparsely populated country. At that time, it will only be a matter of reputation, but the actual benefits will be obtained Complete.
