United Kingdom. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
A well-deserved world hegemon!
Since the Industrial Revolution, the British Empire has been the number one of the great powers.
If no new forces rise up as soon as possible, Britain can always control the world, and every crisis in every country can be an opportunity for Britain to seek the greatest benefit!
Global layout, suppress other powers!
Young Master Meng knows that the closest is Japan and Russia, and the far is the United Kingdom! Germany!
These are the four most critical opponents of Young Master Meng.
As for the United States and France, as long as they conquer the polar bears, destroy Japan, and unify the whole of Asia, the next thing will be a downpour of steel!
Don't talk about China, the rise of China will be the pinnacle of the world, and no country will ever surpass it, because China's regional and national characteristics are determined!
Even if it was a European power before World War I, the United States could only rank among the secondary powers in Europe, and it was very reluctant to rank the United States among the great powers, and the United States before World War I would die an ugly death if it dared to cross the continent to wrestle with the real powers.
To put it bluntly, the United States is a country composed of messy people, messy peoples, and messy businessmen from all over the world, which is very gold-absorbing, very able to absorb all kinds of concepts, and the speed of technological growth is terrifying!
This is what Young Master Meng must learn from, of course, Young Master Meng has no way to run to anyone like the United States!
Master Meng will absorb some excellent scientific and technological talents at most! People who have achieved preliminary results in the universities of this world! The intelligence agencies he sent around the world were in charge of this kind of thing in the initial stages.
How can we attract all kinds of outstanding talents like the United States, and avoid multi-ethnicity and messy impact on the proportion of the domestic population, which is a very nerve-wracking problem for Master Meng, however, Master Meng has found a solution, that is, Danzhou, a separate area, to create a city of science and technology! Young Master Meng is scheduled to be 5,000 square kilometers, which is placed in the southeast corner of Danzhou, a garden-type town in the style of a European-style castle, and becomes a city within a city in Danzhou!
Specially used to reserve scientists, as a scientific research base, scientists come, welcome, but once they have obtained Danzhou nationality, they are not allowed to leave, this city in the city is divided into two parts, people who come to see, can only be in the outer city, only people who want to be more advanced, want to stay in Danzhou with peace of mind, and obtain Danzhou nationality, can enter the inner city.
Young Master Meng knows that real scientists, once they recognize this country, will not leave casually, otherwise, why in the mid-nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century, so many outstanding scientists were willing to go to the United States.
American technology, German ways, the essence of traditional Chinese thought, a powerful high-end dictatorship and a democratic grassroots structure, this is a fusion of the ideal system of Master Meng.
Master Meng will control the direction of the country's development and the speed of development in the general direction, just like a driver, as for the integration of parts, he appreciates the way Germany and the United States more, this is a controlled random combination, but it can make the whole society highly compatible!
Japan did a very good job in this regard, and the way the emperor and the cabinet gave impetus to Japan's take-off in the late 19th century!
Young Master Meng understands this, but he is not satisfied, he can see the twenty-first century, he understands the problems in Japan's national system, and he wants to do better than Japan.
In a feudal era like the Qing Dynasty, it was simply funny to the common people, especially as the cute young master who traveled through the crowd.
Young Master Meng has calculated an account, if you want to upgrade the industry, you have to upgrade to the level of the last in Europe, and there is a basic national defense, he probably imagined about 60 million taels at the beginning, but now it seems that it is far from enough.
Young Master Meng now has 30 million taels of cash on hand, with the current progress of the entire Danzhou, to maintain 10,000 construction workers working non-stop, not counting labor, just calculating materials, not to mention 60 million taels of all expenses, at least about 50 million taels a year!
Young Master Meng originally thought it was simple, to rise a country from a land where there was nothing, it was simply funny!
The construction of all the infrastructure in Danzhou will be completed, 100,000 people will be kept working, and 500 million silver will be consumed a year! Within five years, 2.5 billion yuan will build a heavy industrial city of more than 30,000 square kilometers, which is already the limit!
Two and a half billion!
Young Master Meng suddenly felt that his original prediction, the 60 million taels of silver, was too funny.
Now that Young Master Meng only has 30 million taels of international currency and gold in hand, he suddenly feels that Yali Mountain is big!
Master Meng has now begun to build a country, the next step, institutionalized things don't think about it first, you must have your own financial system immediately, if you want to establish a financial system in one step, you have to have a bank!
Banks always come first, according to the standards of developed countries in Europe and the United States, if you want to build a country with a population of 100,000, you must have at least hundreds of millions of deposits in China's official bank, otherwise the currency will not be able to stand!
According to Young Master Meng's vision, a country with a population of millions is still taking countries like Germany and France as examples, Young Master Meng originally thought that their national finances could be worth at least two billion taels, which could be made up!
Young Master Meng is now through his re-budget in Danzhou during this time, not only that, not counting the land, a country like Germany can also squeeze out the equivalent of 50 billion Chinese official silver!
In the most ideal state, after the country is officially established in five years, Young Master Meng will have to see if the economic growth rate can meet the standards of the great powers, and whether it can support the needs of the expansion war envisioned by Young Master Meng!
A small place of more than 30,000 square kilometers created by 2.5 billion taels of Chinese official silver can exert much power, Young Master Meng does not know.
No one can tell!
Young Master Meng felt that in the Franco-Prussian War, the French army was more lost at the economic level, and the military was secondary, and the country was not as big as possible, and a country like Japan, with one heart and one mind, if it got five billion francs of reparations at once, it could be among the ranks of the world's second-class powers within a year!
Master Meng believes that economic reasons are the decisive factor in national competition!
How could the French army, which was so poorly armed, not suffer a crushing defeat in the face of the superior Prussian army?!
To a certain extent, the quality and combat effectiveness of the armed forces also reflect the quality of the whole people. And the quality of the whole people, the quality of the army and the combat effectiveness, is also a manifestation of the country's economic situation; In other words, it is determined by a certain economic base. Since the Stein and Hardenberg reforms in the early nineteenth century, Prussia has attached great importance to education and advocated science to meet the needs of large-scale machine industry and agricultural technological transformation.
In 1819, the German state established a technical committee.
And through the establishment of schools, the publication of books, the holding of exhibitions, etc., the development of science and education.
In 1825, compulsory education was introduced.
In the same year, the first engineering university was established in Karlsruhe.
Subsequently, a number of engineering universities were established in Darmstadt, Munich, Dresden, Stuttgart and other places, which trained a large number of practical scientific and technical personnel.
In the sixties, the enrolment rate of schoolchildren in Prussia had reached 97.5 per cent.
Before the 70s, chemistry, physics, and other disciplines developed rapidly, and through school education, these scientific knowledge were rapidly disseminated and applied, so that science and technology could be transformed into real productive forces.
Science and education have not only improved the cultural quality of the whole people, but also promoted economic development. All these were important factors in the growth of Prussia's national strength. Even in 1871, at the end of the Franco-Prussian War, the French had to admit: "The better-educated people won!" ā
Therefore, Master Meng believes that the economy determines politics, politics determines the military, and all ideological development must be driven by the economy, and only when the economy develops first can people's thinking keep up, otherwise, even if communism (the most advanced, the most bullish social system, political direction, hehe) is made now, how can it be implemented without soil?
On the one hand, there is military education, and on the other hand, there is science and technology education, and the education of ordinary people.
The establishment of the trade zone and the education system as soon as possible are the top priorities of Master Meng at the moment! (To be continued.) )
