As the time entered the middle of 1642, the civil war in the Ming Dynasty became more and more intense, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other rebel armies have captured many cities, and use this as a base for development and operation, which has a certain impact on Australia's goods exports.

In addition to the instability of the Ming Dynasty, Europe was also hot, the Spaniards launched an attack on France, after that, the war between their two sides seemed to be in a state of confrontation, at this time they all hoped to have external forces enter, as long as the balance of the war was slightly tilted, it seemed that it would change, but this change did not appear, the countries that could participate in the war during the Thirty Years War have basically entered the war, even if it is not much use to invest in it at this time.

The Dutch had been ineffective on the battlefields of Europe, not to mention the repeated defeats of Spain overseas, and if it were not for the British and their joint resistance to the Spanish attack, they would have been defeated by the Spanish army.

Therefore, the market in Europe has also shrunk, and the more the war is fought, the more difficult it is to sell the goods, and at this time there are fewer nobles who buy luxury goods, and today does not know what will happen tomorrow, so there has been a significant decline in general ornamental things, and the guns and ammunition smuggled back by the Dutch have been well received.

The arms trade has always been very strictly restricted in Australia, because Australia's technology is not too different from the technology of European countries to manufacture guns and guns during this period, and the National Security Commissioners are most worried that they will overtake them.

After all, the development of technology is based on another basis, as long as you have the accumulation of the early stage, the later technology is relatively much easier, this is the time for them to have a reference, they can imitate it, although Australia has made a lot of protective measures in this regard, but there is still no guarantee that this kind of thing will happen.

Don't underestimate the intelligence of craftsmen, sometimes they are even much smarter than ordinary people, and some of the earliest inventions were invented by craftsmen through groping in practice.

The National Security Council's requirement is that there must be strict restrictions on the export of weapons, but now that the market is shrinking, it is indeed a big blow to a country like Australia that relies entirely on exports, and now it is at least necessary to ensure the stability of the market in the south of the Ming Dynasty.

In order to ensure the stability of the southern market, it is necessary to ensure that there is no war here, and there is no war to ensure stable development, of course, this needs to be done by local officials in the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible for Australia to directly send troops to intervene.

So in this case, the most important thing is to ensure the stability of the market in Guangzhou, Guangzhou, and Guangzhou, and there must be a stable environment here, and from the perspective of later history, it is indeed a good place, there are fewer wars, and there are fewer peasant uprisings.

Relatively speaking, the south is still very stable, at this time Liangguang is not bad under the governance of Shen Youlong, if it is not for the fact that there are more refugees from other places, in fact, the public security environment of Liangguang is absolutely not said.

Of course, ensuring the stability of the two regions is bound to have an important bearing on Australia's exports, so the Hong Kong Overseas Consulate and the Far East Intelligence Center must pay close attention to the development of the situation in this work.

In fact, Shen Youlong also revealed his intention to buy arms, but it was not too strong, and in comparison, the Zheng family in Fujian revealed a greater will, but Zhou Yang did not agree to the other party's request.

In order to adapt to the impact of the international environment and situation, the Executive Committee has ordered the civil affairs department, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and other departments to discuss and jointly decide on the situation of domestic consumption.

To a certain extent, the expansion of domestic demand can indeed reduce the economic impact caused by the decline in exports, but in terms of Australia's internal market, the consumption situation of this population is not optimistic, and people cannot consume much at all, in fact, maintaining the market and expanding the market is the key.

The key problem is that the market is difficult to expand, and Europe is at war, but England seems to be a good market, and arms exports are indeed a wrong choice, after all, the arms trade is very profitable.

It's just that it is a bit difficult to persuade the National Security Council to agree to expand arms exports, after all, arms are different from other things, they are items that can directly threaten the security of the Australian mainland, and the National Security Council has strict requirements for this.

The question of whether the security environment will give way to the economy needs to be discussed, but it is undeniable that compared with the comparison of the quarter of last year, the year-on-year slowdown in economic growth or even a decline has a certain impact on exports.

Australia's economic support mainly depends on exports, the ability of internal consumption, and these tens of thousands of people simply cannot consume the goods produced by the current Chang'an Town factory.

The Executive Committee, the Central Bank, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Foreign Trade led by Li Mengshi have held many discussions on key issues to deal with the economic downturn.

It is mainly about how to solve the current dilemma, increasing immigration efforts is to develop Australia, and secondly, it is also to expand the capacity of domestic consumption, after all, there is a certain crisis in a country that relies entirely on exports, and there is definitely a big problem with the current environment.

If there is a certain population inside, this will directly ensure that there is no need to rely entirely on external exports to drive the economy, otherwise even if Australia is developing strongly, as long as it is affected by the external environment, it may also fall into a crisis, which should not be underestimated.

The decline in exports in the past two months has shown everything, and the Ming Dynasty has affected the south to a certain extent because of the war in the north, and the purchase intensity has declined, so the reduction of goods is inevitable, and the same is true for Europe.

The only way to get out of the current situation is to ensure the safety of the south of the Ming Dynasty, for which Zhou Yang also submitted a number of proposals to Shen Youlong, and the old Shen Zhi did not ignore them, but read them carefully, and finally agreed to some suggestions.

After all, some suggestions are still very good, organize displaced people to open up the wasteland or emigrate to Australia, reduce the pressure brought by the Liangguang government, and at the same time strengthen the garrison at the junction of the northern border of Liangguang to prevent Zhang Xianzhong's rebel army from moving south.

These suggestions are all submitted by Zhou Yang based on his own historical knowledge, and naturally to a certain extent, they can still help Shen Youlong tide over the difficulties, as long as the market of Liangguang is guaranteed, and the market of Japan is expanded, then Australia's surprise decline can be stopped, and it can even rise again.

If, for the sake of safety, the Executive Council and the National Security Council are engaged in the lifting of the arms export ban, the posture of rapid economic development will reappear. (To be continued.) )
