Chapter 272: Arms Tycoon
Here's the problem, in later generations, basically buying arms from a country means paying protection money, because if you buy other people's arms, it means that all the data of your army is in the hands of others, and the performance of weapons is in the hands of others.
In this era, the international arms market has not yet opened, and the so-called arsenals are actually workshops, well, the country's workshops, in fact, are very reluctant to sell weapons to foreign countries, which is also due to the situation, this era has just broken away from the feudal era, is evolving towards the European style of imperialism, and everyone has not yet learned the trick of selling weapons at both ends to obtain benefits.
The Presbyterian Church comes from the 21st century and knows how the United States used the arms trade to make money.
The key is not that there are so many people who sell arms, hundreds of billions of dollars, a lot, but that after the war burns, those refugees in the places where the war takes place will inevitably only have money or brains to run to the United States, which instantly consolidates the national strength of the United States.
Not to mention anything else, the famous Joe gang leader Comrade Jobs, he is a descendant of Syrian immigrants, every regional war, is the time for the bank villains to take the opportunity to get oil and water, the time is urgent, all kinds of water can almost depreciate to the top, not to mention anything else, the money will not stop until half of the money is siphoned off.
Looking at these munitions, slowly loading the ship, I don't know what to do, before, before going out, what Li Xiangqian said was very clear, selling them weapons is to tell them that there are better weapons in the Celestial Empire, if you have any ideas in the future, consider it.
I absolutely believe in this, he only has the idea of how to prevaricate his miss after he goes back, and it is not bad to use mortars to persuade him, and then how to deal with the strategic attitude towards the Celestial Empire, or leave it to the company to deal with, anyway, as the world's first multinational company, the East India Company is such an existence, they only pursue profits.
This is where the problem lies, if Li Xiangqian and others only want to dominate China's surrounding territories, or dominate the earth, then with the current force, whoever fires will extinguish whomever it is, and it can almost be achieved, but if they want to bring the whole world into their own effective management, then they need to be carefully considered.
People have their own ideas, which means that the final result may not be good, with the stick in hand and the warm words in the throat, that is the best choice.
Arms are sold not to make money, but to demonstrate.
For Sun Liang, with the growing reputation of Chinese alloy knives in Japan, he is also well received, anyone can be regarded as seeing, the Japanese are used to exaggerated nature to serve him very comfortably, the legend says that MacArthur was the empress of Japan when the small days lived, what is it called?
Men's paradise.
Sun Liang had a lot of fun, but the Japanese gradually realized that something was wrong, and the money on the market gradually circulated into the republican treasure shipped by the Chinese, and this hard and wear-resistant hard currency was popular with people including Osaka merchants once it was launched, and in this era, if you want to keep your property, basically there is only one way to buy land, otherwise, the storage of a large amount of copper money can be difficult for you.
Although the things he taught, according to the standards of later generations, were both shallow and complicated, but it was definitely not simple for the senior intellectuals of this era, of course, those trivial things would be extremely difficult if they were to be used to transform them into productivity or combat effectiveness.
Japan's problem is the samurai problem, Sun Liang's task is actually to put a wedge in the samurai, with the land of Taiwan into the hands of the Zheng family, and at the same time after completing the change of flags declaring allegiance to the Presbyterian Church, Japan has actually been put in the cage of the Presbyterian Church, and any attempt to cheer up the idea will be shot to death as soon as possible, and they only need to cut off Japan's internal and external communications, and they will have no hope at all.
The rules of this era are like this, the climbing of the Western technology tree requires a large number of off-duty scientists in captivity, and the investment in factories requires a lot of resources, and historically, the largest source of investment for the Japanese is actually a shipload of Japanese prostitutes sent overseas......
What Sun Liang needs to do is to spread culture, China's cultural communication work has actually not made progress for hundreds of years, and its influence on the outside world is weakening, of course, how many years have been turned over and transferred to the past Four Books and Five Classics, at most Wang Mingyang and a few other geniuses, but the problem is that it is too boring.
The Yomiuri Shimbun gradually got on the right track in Japan, from a weekly magazine to three times a week, and because a group of students were recruited to work, it gradually gained some news coverage on the front page, and of course, in order not to attract the attention of the relevant departments, the first reports were all about some wind and snow, and even the funny illustrations were the appearance of such and such an official, or what order was issued by the general's office, which I knew everything.
Tokugawa Iemitsu noticed the Yomiuri Shimbun, but people said good things about you from beginning to end, and even you yourself were embarrassed to say it, and you praised it to such an extent, so you don't have anything else to think about.
However, what has to make the Japanese extremely vigilant is that the rule of the Chinese in Korea is basically stable, it is nothing more than killing a wave, exiled a wave in the northeast, and promoting a wave of bottoms, which is what the Japanese have done in history, promoting Park Geun-hye's fathers to death, and they all recognize themselves as Japanese.
In North Korea, Chinese has become the only official language, and all schools are teaching children to learn Chinese, and officials who speak in Korean are stopped.
It can be said that North Korea, a large country with a population of millions, no longer exists, maybe 10 soldiers can only look at each other in the face of a group of people, 100 soldiers can only hold a section of the wall, 1,000 soldiers are enough to control a city, and 10,000 people, if properly commanded, will perish or suppress a small country.
This is the difference between organized and unorganized, and when the number of people reaches a certain level, the combat effectiveness will no longer be the accumulation of numbers, but whoever is better organized will have more combat effectiveness.
For example, in the Qin Dynasty, the only chance for the silk to turn over was to follow the general of the Qin State to go to a foreign country to cut people, and calculate the credit according to the head accounting, as long as the soldier killed the enemy's "armor" enemy officer a head, he could get the first-class title "Gongshi", Tian Yiqing, a house and a servant. The more heads you kill, the higher the title you get.
Under the temptation of this kind of material reward, you don't need too complicated organization, people's subjective initiative can help you destroy the stubborn enemy, of course, the disadvantage of this model is that it is only suitable for the Warring States such as small battles every day, and the era of wars is 369, once peace begins, people find that joining the army can not get the opportunity to be beheaded and knighted.
The demise of the Qin State was not only a problem of the chaos brought about by the leadership of a northwestern province suddenly having to deal with a large country, but also the reason why the combat effectiveness of the army suddenly went out of control.
For thousands of years, people have changed countless ways to master the army, whether it is the Han Dynasty playing the recruitment system, the Tang Dynasty's government military system, to my Ming Dynasty, after the military household system is over, although the system of cutting off people's heads and giving money is refreshing and clean, but it completely plays the army into a mercenary, it can be said that the love for the motherland is completely destroyed, and it has become a puppet who sells his life for money.
It's not that soldiers can't take money, on the contrary, due to the particularity of the profession, that is, the profession of soldiers is more likely to lead to death, and at the same time, the skills that these soldiers learn in the army are basically impossible to use in society, unless they go to a company like Blackwater.
What soldiers need is honor and security, which cannot be provided by an agrarian society, and even in the Middle Ages, a soldier had to be a soldier for a lifetime, otherwise, a group of men who have mastered the most advanced military skills may cause disasters that are unimaginable.
Sun Liang naturally noticed the pressure gradually rising on him, on the one hand, his situation is a big good, not a small good, on the other hand, the Celestial Empire is now really confronting Japan in the Tsushima Strait, Tokugawa Iemitsu did make a move, which can be seen in Sun Liang saw that many shogunate families will go to the northwest of Japan and other places to garrison, and at the same time, the encirclement of the southwestern feudal domains also began, and Sun Liang also found that the activities of Dutch merchants in Japan have also begun to become frequent, of course, this is that they do not know that their Taiwan has been taken, The Celestial Empire could cut off passing ships in the Taiwan Strait at any time.
Sun Liang's most important career now is the newspaper business, and he discovered and confirmed that bringing a group of people from the moment of ignorance to the age of civilization is actually a perfect feeling, just like seeing a group of hillbillies enter the city, you used to show your superiority.
It's like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, as a way to prove that I am advanced and you are behind, in fact, I am as bad as a child.
However, the real problem is that there are no fools in this world, after thousands of years of changes, they have eaten countless of their kind, and the human beings who have struggled to live to this era are not good at stubble, most of the natives enter the city, and the first thing that comes to mind is not how good it is here, but whether I can mix it up here, just like the Elders will continue to suppress the crimes of outsiders entering Beijing, knowing that they are not fools, as soon as they see the benefits, they want to keep exploiting loopholes and looking for benefits.
Just like here in Japan, most of the true and false "news" in the Yomiuri Shimbun actually came from the compilation of the imperial capital, but now its influence in Japan has also begun to increase, so Sun Liang's ambitions began to swell, and he made a fuss about creating a magazine edition.
If the people in the rear know that the real idea of this product is to pick up girls, I am afraid that countless people are going to howl to kill him, but a fashion magazine, after adding color pages, although the asking price is definitely higher, but there is really no shortage of rich people in this era, it is really a good opportunity.
As we said before, cultural products are different from other products, their liquidity is automatic, that is, good cultural products do not need to be promoted by you, as long as a completely active and free market will spread yourself.
"Okay, there's no need to give money at all, this is a trial publication for everyone, a fashion magazine, different from a newspaper, it talks about some bad things about eating, drinking, and dressing up, just take it back and pass it on to your family."
Sun Liang with a little hope, distributed it to the people in his class, although there is no rule in Japan that women do not go out of the door, but it is impossible for women to run around, and he doesn't want to go directly to Akagi Gangxian and say, Introduce your sister to me, so he had to fight in such a roundabout way, which can be regarded as his efforts to soak in Haruko's sister.
It's hard enough, Sun Liang is in Japan, but it takes a little time to desperately communicate with other elders and unify opinions, he has won several female elders, and the reason is very simple, that is, they can bring these new ways of life to the new world, what a wonderful topic, Zhong Jiajia because of her simple mind, and even cried excitedly, threatening to help women all over the world live a good life with high heels and lipstick.
The others were also broken by each other.,It's easy to say what happened after that.,Although it's the Chinese version.,But there are still a lot of Japanese sinologists in this era.,Written communication is quite simple.,In line with the principle of cultural identity.,The plan to publish the Japanese version was rejected at the beginning.,Let the Japanese learn to speak Chinese well.,As for other issues,It's just a matter of propaganda means and scale.。
"Sir."
Akagi Gangxian hesitated a little, although this coated paper magazine is indeed very remarkable, but suddenly from the study of the country and the world, to such a depraved wind and snow, he can't stand it.
Even if he went to the brothel to investigate absurdly before, but after getting all the data, Akagi Gangxian had to convince him to understand that a table of the entire Edo economic data very clearly described the economic situation of Edo, how much food and resources should be consumed in a year, and even how many coffins were needed.
Such a calculation, although it seems very simple, is a very remarkable existence, Akagi Gangxian simply has a feeling of enlightenment, so the admiration for Sun Liang is even more incomparable, Mr. Sun Liang's knowledge is really terrible, no matter what the question, Mr. frowned, a little thought, you can get the answer.
This is no longer an ordinary teacher, this is a real sage, a great person who is rarely seen in the world.
Whether it is military, history, geography, or even the world is called the earth, it can also be explained very clearly, this is simply a god-man.
But it's really unacceptable that such a man of God suddenly began to advertise the things that women wear!
