The footsteps of history reached the end of March 1918. The first phase of the "Defend the 18th Recovery of the Land" military operation launched by the Chinese team on February 28, 1918 was successfully concluded, and the attacks of three armies in Outer Mongolia and Heilongjiang were successfully completed.

By the end of March, the Chinese government successfully recovered the territory occupied by the Sino-Russia Treaty, including the land area of ​​the coastal rift area of ​​170,000 square kilometers, with a total population of 500,000, and the Khabarovsk Krai area of ​​500,000 square kilometers, with a total population of 400,000.

Amur Prefecture has an area of ​​360,000 square kilometers and a total population of 200,000, Chita Prefecture has an area of ​​480,000 square kilometers and a total population of 300,000, and Irkutsk Prefecture has an area of ​​600,000 square kilometers and a population of 400,000.

A total of 2.11 million square kilometers of land were recovered, and nearly 1.5 million local population was recovered. In Wang Geng's previous life, until the 21st century, the population on this land had only reproduced and developed to more than 7 million.

With the arrival of the end of March, the great success of the Chinese warriors in Siberia and the Far East has led to a rapid increase in China's international prestige. Duan Qirui's government and the Chinese warriors, as the leaders in regaining lost territory, once again became the focus of attention of the whole nation's idols and the government and the government. This huge wave of joining the army and serving the country in March made up as many as six new recruits recruited throughout March.

The model military army of China's participation in the war has quietly become synonymous with the Chinese army. This new army that emphasizes firepower and mobility uses iron discipline like "Three Majors - Nine Attentions" as its soul and iron-blooded means to face the enemy and destroyers as its weapon. In just one month, China's territory has expanded by one fifth, and has better stabilized and soothed the emotions of local residents.

The Soviet guerrillas had almost no room for activity east of Lake Baikal. Except for going to remote settlements to grab grain in the middle of the night, these guerrillas could not find any source of food. This was the Chinese team announced that according to the Sino-Russian Treaty of Nebuchun in 1689, all Siberian and Far Eastern territories controlled by the Chinese war army were Chinese territory until March 31, 1918.

The safety of all local residents' lives and property is protected. Before this year's summer grain harvest, people who have registered and received rations in local village offices, town offices and municipal governments can choose whether to become Chinese nationality or move back to Russia in the west.

If the owner of local private land wants to retain his own land, he must choose to become a Chinese nationality and be a Chinese. Otherwise, the land will be redeemed by the Chinese government and nationalized. The price of land redemption is paid based on the average land price of the previous year. The land transferor can choose to accept Chinese banknotes, Chinese dollar, or grain!

The first batch of people who chose to join Chinese nationality were the original local government officials, civil servants, landlords and rich peasants. The situation was stronger than people. Since this land belonged to China according to the Sino-Russian Treaty, since this land was announced to be abandoned by Ulyanov, the dialogue declaration of the new Soviet regime, if the Soviet Union did not give up this land, for the above-mentioned proletariats who own a large amount of land and manors, the Land Act issued by the Soviet government is also quite fatal!

The contents of the flyers distributed by the Chinese planes were like the red decrees and regulations constantly issued by Moscow and the entire Soviet-controlled area. The landlords' land was nationalized for free and distributed to the farmers, but the farmers had to hand over their surplus grain, otherwise they would be enemies of the Soviets and would have to be suppressed and eliminated, etc. The landlords and rich peasants who were suppressed and eliminated.

Siberia and the Far East have vast and sparsely populated areas. Although the arable land area accounts for less than a quarter of it, the population is even smaller. The land annexation in Siberia and the Far East is much more eased than in the European part of Russia. These people who immigrated from the west to Siberia to hunt for gold in the past century have basically become self-cultivated farmers and rich peasants after several generations of hard work. Of course, in any era, any society, there will always be poor peasants and tenants.

But at this moment, a reality in rural Russia is that self-cultivating farmers, middle peasants, rich peasants and landlords are the mainstream of rural and peasants in Russia. Just like the self-sufficient Cossacks in the Don River Basin, many times, only lazy and idle guys will be penniless. Of course, poverty is often associated with disease. More often, due to natural disasters, crops are poor, and poverty is caused by natural disasters, which leads to poverty. Naturally, taxes and wars, as well as bandits and robbers are more important factors.

The vast land in Siberia and the Far East and the relatively sparse population made Wang Geng strongly advocate the policy pressure on all residents of the newly occupied areas of the Central ** team to distribute rations for free during the war. At the same time, with the war free ration relief and free medical and health center services, the local situation was quickly stabilized and the residents with the Russians as the main body, although they were a little confused, gradually recognized this land. The Chinese really wanted to take it back!

In order to stabilize the local situation, the grain monopoly system is temporarily implemented on these recovered lands. However, unlike the surplus grain collection system in the Soviet Union and Japan-occupied areas, private grain trading is prohibited in the newly established Irkutsk, Lake Baikal and the Far Eastern Krai in China. Grain can only be purchased by the government-designated grain purchase points. All acts of reselling the free rations they receive will be severely punished.

In this new territory of China, the Zhongyuan is the only currency allowed to be circulated, and gold and silver must be exchanged for the newly opened Bank of China and Bank of Communications in a town before it can be used.

For middle peasants, rich peasants and landlords, it is obvious that they are more insured to sell the grain to the government than to hide in their own homes. Although guerrillas and bandits rarely appear, they accidentally found fish that escaped the net came to eat in the middle of the night, robbed grain and killed people and set fire.

When purchasing grain at the local government’s grain purchase points, farmers who pay the grain can choose whether to pay the grain in cash or choose grain exchange coupons.

Paying with grain exchange vouchers is like farmers depositing their own food into the government’s grain bank. When needed, they can exchange food as much as they need, which can avoid losses caused by fluctuations in grain prices. Food is managed as the most important strategic material.

Not only the entire Russia, but also the entire occupied area, but also the entire Europe, were in a food shortage due to the destruction of war rural areas and agriculture.

In order to ensure credit, when landlords, rich peasants and middle peasants are sold to government grain warehouses for storage, the grain exchange vouchers are registered and reported to be lost. This means that in fact, as long as you can get legal documents, you can understand the grain you deposited in from the grain bank. Naturally, the bulk needs to be made.

Of course, for the newly recovered 2.11 million square kilometers of land, exempting agricultural land tax within three years is a huge good news! Damn, you can live in Siberia without paying taxes! This policy completely stabilized the local government and obtained support from all classes from poor peasants to landlords!

The Irkutsk Krai, the Baikal Krai and the Far Eastern Krai are directly under the management of the newly established Northern Federal Autonomous Region of China. This is a decision made by Wang Geng, the Prime Minister, the Deputy Chief of the Army and the Cabinet members after discussion for a long time.

Although China has not yet unified the north and the south, all forces have been preparing for the House election to be held in early August 1918. After so many years of ups and downs in the first year of the Republic of China, the Congress finally reached the time for the three-year election!

The establishment of the Northern Federal Autonomous Region of China can be seen as a new exploration of China's national political system. At this moment when the Duan government was at its peak, at this moment when the Chinese military participated in the war established outstanding achievements for the country, and at this moment when China's international status was unprecedentedly improved, there was no force or individual that could shake Duan Qirui and the New Anhui faction's status in the future.

Any idea of ​​seeking autonomy and military power has unknowingly dissipated invisible in the minds of the tyrants of various factions. Since its establishment, the participating troops have not fired a single shot at their compatriots! The participating troops will never take the initiative to provoke civil war. The mission of the Chinese team is to defend their country!
