Chapter 90: Core Interests

When the stability of the people settled, a core problem also followed, everyone basically as long as they are familiar with a little history, Li Zicheng entered the Beijing Manchu Qing Dynasty, announcing the official demise of the Ming Dynasty, and this land ushered in a new dynastic development.

Whether to send troops to the Ming Dynasty, or indirect interference has become a very big problem, do not interfere in the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty, let it develop towards history, then it is certainly needless to say, the final outcome will definitely not change.

But the problem is that the crossing people, mainly military leaders such as Wang Tiezhu, have announced a plan for the expansion of the army in the new year and a militia training system, and the purpose of these two plans is to send troops to the Ming Dynasty to intervene in advance of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

As the commander of the Navy, Wang Tiehammer submitted a plan for building warships for the next three years, according to the plan, after three years, the number of warships in Australia will reach more than 20, with a total tonnage of about 20,000 tons.

It was this tonnage that Wang Tiehammer was still a little dissatisfied with, and the total tonnage of the twenty ships was only 20,000, which was even 5,000 tons more than the Perfect.

But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, the current shipbuilding technology, Lin Wendong can make a sea ship of about 1,000 tons, it is not bad, it is already at the forefront of the world, in order to meet the standards of later generations, unless he has complete equipment and workers.

Whether the navy is strong or not determines Australia's core interests in the future, and even related to the safety of the crossing public, so the navy's shipbuilding plan has not been opposed too much.

Australia's geographical location determines that its congenital conditions are insufficient, the area that can be lived and cultivated is limited, and the entire continent, most of the rivers are seasonal rivers, and it is difficult to develop agriculture without abundant water conservancy, so the population of Australia in later generations is about tens of millions of people.

Under such circumstances, if Australia wants to become an influential power and ensure its core interests, it must ensure the strength of its navy.

For this reason, because of the matter of the Perfect Energy, not to mention that Wang Tiehammer is particularly concerned, even other ordinary traversers are also very concerned.

The plan for the expansion of the navy has basically been agreed, but Lin Wendong's plan to privatize the shipyard has not been fully realized, and the executive committee has agreed in principle that he can build commercial ships of less than 1,000 tons, but he must ensure that the state trains 100 to 200 shipbuilding technicians every year, and at the same time three to five qualified engineers.

The reform of private ownership has entered a stage, and the executive committee knows that Lin Wendong's mind is not in the state-owned shipyard, so it simply prescribes such conditions, hoping to temporarily hinder him from doing it alone, but Lao Lin has already made up his mind to work alone, and he basically agreed to all the conditions offered by the executive committee, but only put forward conditions for 200 skilled workers.

After all, the training of skilled workers requires money, and the amount of 200 people per year is really not much if it is placed in the entire Ming Dynasty, but it is really a bit too much to put in the sparsely populated Australia.

Shipbuilding is a technical job, and it is not so simple to train workers, the problem is that we must be able to find those skilled workers who can be trained, so Lin Wendong put forward his own conditions, training 50 workers every year, and in addition, in the off-season period of state-owned shipyards, it must be agreed that its workers can enter their own private shipyards to work.

If you want to say that this condition will not be agreed to before, but the state-owned shipbuilders are building warships, so they will go to your private shipyard to help, what if the military secrets are leaked. But the key problem is that the technology of the state-owned shipyard is also completely provided by Lin Wendong, and it is not a secret from him at all, and perhaps this situation will not change until at least the second generation of engineers is trained.

The development of the navy is related to the core issue of Australia's future, but the dispatch of troops to the Ming Dynasty is also related to the core issue of the future, and if this problem is not well discussed and solved, it will inevitably restrict the future development of Australia.

Although on the surface, each trade in Australia is mainly based on the export of high-priced luxury goods and the introduction of immigrants, the core development is still to prepare for the moment that is related to the fate of a nation three years later. For example, to curb the development of the Zheng family, the plan to support the Yan family is like this.

The military intervention plan submitted by former committee member Wang Tiezhui has not yet been adopted, and the main content is to discuss the dispatch of troops to the Ming Dynasty.

Some people have reservations about the Ming Dynasty's dispatch of troops, after all, this is the internal affair of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not good for Australia to interfere rashly, and it is a bit like imperialism.

However, in this era, it is absolutely impossible to completely compare with the previous values, and the game must be played in accordance with the rules of this time and space.

By the end of 1640, the Travelers had to work out some plans for the future, and if they were to intervene, they had to discuss the proposals put forward by the king.

"It is said that the Zheng family is very dissatisfied with our plan to support the Yan family, I don't know what you think." As the chairman of the executive committee, Xu Renguo is always the first to speak at every meeting.

After Lao Xu spoke, generally speaking, Yang Yi would continue to answer, this has become a convention, and the two have a bit of a tacit understanding to cooperate.

But then again, if it is really the founding of the country, Xu Renguo and Yang Yi are really more suitable to partner together, one as the chairman and the other as the prime minister.

"The Zheng family is not to be afraid, in fact, the most important thing is Li Zicheng and the Manchu Qing, Li Zicheng's King Chuang troops have won victories, and the Manchu Qing frequently detain customs, at this time the Ming Dynasty is actually still saved, as long as you can make up your mind to eliminate the internal misunderstanding of the Donglin Party."

Wu Jianguo put forward his own proposal, but this suggestion obviously will not be adopted, at this time there is no benefit to Australia to send troops to the Ming Dynasty, not to mention, even Australia's industrial production and human and financial resources are not enough to support the Ming war.

"Lao Wu, one thing you have to be clear about, the Donglin Party is very powerful, and with our strength, we want to carry out a reform of the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty, which is almost a fantasy." Liu Keming, a former engineer at a state-owned enterprise, told the truth almost immediately.

"In fact, the best way is to wait for Li Zicheng's troops to enter Beijing, and let's wait for an opportunity in the south at this time, and choose a target that is easier to control and support."

"What Commissioner Yang said is right, this method is also what I am more in favor of, supporting the existing Chongzhen Imperial Court is not of much interest to us, and at the same time it will put us in a quagmire, we must ensure that our core interests will not be harmed, this is the premise of support."

Xu Renguo is in favor of using troops against the Ming Dynasty, but it is not a blind use of troops, and blind use of troops will only push Australia into the quagmire, and even put himself into it.
