Ni Baohong said with emotion, "This world is the world of hooligans and robbers, bullying the soft and fearing the hard is always the theme of the world, all the laws are formulated by the strong, used to restrain the weak and incompetent mediocre, and the strong continue to tear up the law in order to seek more benefits and reformulate the law that meets their own interests." He paused and continued, "Otherwise, the Plaza Agreement would not have been signed." ”

"Huh! Not really, there is a need on both sides. Fang Menan shook his head and chuckled, "The appreciation of the yen is also what the Japanese leaders want to see, assuming that Japan GDP1000 a year and the exchange rate of the US dollar is 1:300, then it needs to produce 300,000 yen of GDP." If the exchange rate rises, then the same GDP can be exchanged for a higher GDP, and the popular support rate will rise, and the leadership position will be strengthened. ”

"That's right! When the money in your hand is valuable, you can exchange it for votes. Ni Baohong agreed.

Fang Monan continued, "Secondly, the appreciation of the yen means that it is easier to buy foreign goods and property rights, just like in the past, three peaches from Japan were exchanged for a watermelon from the United States, but now only two peaches are needed. The leadership of Japan is definitely willing, so don't talk about persecution. It's their own hearts that are at work! No one is a fool, so he knows that it is a pit, but there is tempting food and resources. If you jump, you have to say that it is beautiful, and you are reluctant to come out after jumping, and you have to occupy the big pit that no one else is allowed to jump into. So they jumped with the people without hesitation. ”

"Hehe......" Ni Baohong laughed, and suddenly stopped laughing. He looked at Fang Monan with a serious and shocked face.

"Is there something wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Fang Menan touched himself and looked at himself again.

"Every year, we import a lot of coal and other strategic resources from us." Ni Baohong said.

"I've heard that the company is taking coal to reclaim the sea in case of emergency." Fang Menan said, "This is widely circulated, whether it is true or not, it is indeed a country with scarce resources, and it has to purchase a large number of resources every year, so ah! The benefits of a stronger yen are not yet apparent. ”

"Hmm!" Ni Baohong nodded and said, "The yen is appreciating." Although the export was hit. But compared to strategic resources, they still make money, and these are non-renewable resources. ”

Since he said this, Fang Menan didn't mind saying more. "You can go back and look it up. How many strategic resources do we import from us every year. Non-ferrous metals include vanadium, chromium, manganese, cobalt, nickel, platinum, silver, copper, tungsten, indium and rare earths and other 31 kinds, for which they have made a detailed plan for the strategic reserve of rare mineral resources, and rare earths and other metals are widely used in national defense, science and technology, aerospace and aviation. It is called industrial monosodium glutamate and industrial vitamin. It is widely used in optoelectronics, aerospace, laser, digital products, electric vehicles, household appliances, etc. If we do not build up a strategic reserve now, we will have to pay a high price to buy it in a few decades, and even if we can't buy it at a high price. ”

Ni Baohong looked at Fang Monan with some doubts.

"Don't doubt it, you can check it and you'll know if I'm right." Fang Mo South Road.

"We have the first strategic resources of rare metals, and some of them are not available to the United States and Japan, so as long as we hold this throat, Japan and the United States will not be able to manufacture precision guided weapons without these rare metals." Fang Monan raised his eyes and said, "So don't sell it cheaply, exchange it for some useless banknotes, if it depreciates, it will become waste paper." That's a traitor, a traitor. ”

While speaking, Fang Monan directly took the notebook and directly opened the document typing.

Indium is mainly used in the manufacture of flat panel displays, alloys, semiconductor data transmission, and aerospace products. Indium is mainly associated with lead-zinc ore, and the annual production in the world is only a few hundred tons, and the content of indium in zinc concentrate is calculated in ppm (parts per million), and its total amount is very small and non-renewable.

Tungsten is mainly used in cemented carbide, special steel and other products, and is widely used in the defense industry, aerospace and information industries, and is known as the 'tooth of industry'. Tungsten can withstand high temperatures, so tungsten alloy is widely used in machinery and weapons industries. For example, tungsten alloy is used in the firing tubes of guns and cannons. The projectiles used in the military as armor-piercing bullets are made of high-density alloy steel, tungsten carbide and other materials that are much harder than tank armor.

If there is no tungsten in a country, there will be a great lack of metal processing capacity under the current technical conditions, which will directly lead to the paralysis of the machinery industry, so it is called a strategic metal.

Germanium is mainly used in the production of night vision devices, thermal imagers, petroleum product catalysts, solar cells, etc., and is widely used in the field of optical fiber communication.

Molybdenum is used to refine various alloy steels, stainless steels, heat-resistant steels, and super alloys, and is widely used in the military industry, known as 'war metals'. ’

Rare earth is known as industrial "gold", because of its excellent optical and electromagnetic physical properties, it can form new materials with different properties and a wide variety of other materials, and its most significant function is to greatly improve the quality and performance of other products. For example, the tactical performance of steel, aluminum, magnesium, and titanium alloys used in the manufacture of tanks, aircraft, and missiles has been greatly improved. Moreover, rare earths are also lubricants for electronics, lasers, nuclear industry, superconductivity and many other high-tech lubricants. Once rare earth technology is used in the military, it will inevitably bring about a leap in military science and technology. In a certain sense, the overwhelming control of the US military in several local wars after the Cold War, as well as its ability to openly kill the enemy with impunity, are due to the superhuman superiority in the field of rare earth technology.

Rare metal resources are non-renewable strategic materials, precious wealth of the country, and the lifeblood of the development and survival of the Chinese nation.

On the contrary, when we introduce foreign capital for the sake of GDP growth, we have paid a high price for the so-called 'intellectual property rights' that are constantly being updated and eliminated, but in the face of the rare metal resources that are not renewable, sell a little less, and can even be used to make precision-guided weapons to attack themselves, some people are blind-eyed, blind to Mount Tai, unable to see their huge strategic value, have no strategic mind, no sense of danger, and are laissez-faire, and their eyes are only fixed on a little profit.

Strengthening reserves and regulating the mining, production, and export of some important non-ferrous metals are things that many countries are currently working on. For example, the United States, although they have a considerable number of mineral reserves in the world, they are the first country in the world to implement mineral reserves. In order to protect its own resources, the United States has mothballed a large number of mines and turned to importing minerals from abroad. In this way, once the supply in the international market is tight and prices surge, the United States may sell its reserves and suppress prices.

So! Whoever controls the resources also controls the price of the discourse.

The keyboard crackled, and tens of thousands of words were written. Seeing Ni Baohong's heart beating, he couldn't wait to learn from the United States to seal up those mines.

Fang Monan straightened up, "Do you still say that we have a lot of land?" ”

Ni Baohong shook his head, "I don't dare to say it, we are big, and we have a lot of things, but we should say it differently." What's more, there is a huge population base, if this is used as the denominator, the reserves of all kinds of material resources, divided by this denominator -- calculated on a per capita basis, in the ranking of the world, how can we be self-absorbed with the word "material"? ”

Fang Monan thought that he could do a little bit! said angrily, "But over the years, on the one hand, the Chinese people have been exclaiming how scarce resources are; On the other hand, all localities are selling a large number of China's only few types of advantageous resources to the country for the sake of small profits in front of them! Moreover, in order to create the so-called export achievements of a certain locality, these localities have gone so far as to lower the prices of certain advantageous resources unique to our country to each other, and in turn to curry favor with foreigners holding foreign money. It's really 'self-inflicted, incurable'! ”

"Alas! When can we also say: take a few integrated circuits and a few second-rate cars; Gone are the days when we exchanged the whole shipload of coal from the giant ship! Fang Monan said with a long sigh.

Ni Baohong patted her shoulder and said, "Yes!" Soon! ”

Fang Menan continued, "The competition between countries is, to put it bluntly, the competition for resources. In the past, Western colonizers invaded and enslaved colonial countries for two purposes. ”

Ni Baohong said, "On the one hand, it is to occupy the human resources of the colony, and on the other hand, it is more important that the colonists frantically plunder the material resources of the colony. At present, any war of aggression launched by imperialism is invariably branded as plundering resources. Even in the Gulf War a few years ago, wasn't it the Yankees who wanted to control the Middle East, the world's main oil valve? ”

Fang Menan nodded and said, "That's right!" The world has developed to the present, and the traditional method of relying on muskets, artillery, and even warships, planes, and tanks to seize the resources of other countries is still an important means, and it is the last resort. But it is no longer an inevitable measure to be adopted by the old powers.

Especially after the emergence of the monster of 'globalization', the old imperialist countries and the so-called upstart powers are not the first choice of traditional bloody wars. Although they often use force to blackmail other countries. But they also recognize that they don't have to go through bloody hot wars to achieve their goals. They can use the so-called 'rules of the game' that they have formulated to plunder much more materials than they have plundered through bloody invasions and massacres in the past few hundred years through commercial warfare, economic warfare, financial warfare, intelligence warfare, information warfare, and other wars that do not seem to be very bloody! ”

Ni Baohong said, "Soft knife, kill people invisibly!" This kind of soft plundering and soft killing is more powerful than their hard robbery and hard killing in the past. Like a locust, it sucks your blood while releasing an anesthetic that leaves you unconscious. Someone once saw a strong buffalo in the southern jungle being sucked by countless tree locusts, and then died unconsciously. ”

He rubbed his chin and said, "When we are not strong enough, when we have the ability to protect ourselves, we should not go into the so-called global jungle, otherwise we will be cattle walking in the world jungle, and the locusts are twisting their greedy bodies and swarming." Hey! It's scary to think about. (To be continued......)
