Chapter 1790: Towards the Ocean

China is not afraid of Britain, France and Germany, these countries have their own flaws, to put it bluntly, there is not enough strategic depth, France in this era, only four or five hundred thousand square kilometers, Germany five or six hundred thousand, Britain itself is only more than 200,000 square kilometers, it can be said unceremoniously, a province in China is larger than them, of course, it is not Mongolia, Xinjiang such a huge territory of provinces, or only Gansu, Sichuan such provinces, after all, China's traditional Central Plains hinterland, the area of the province is not large, about 100,000 square kilometers, But two or three provinces are larger than these countries.

Among many countries, even if the current world power is, Britain, France and Germany, but Yang Yuanzhao and China value the Soviet Union and the United States the most, in later generations, if you want to be called a superpower, population, land area, these two are indispensable, the reason is very simple, in the science and technology is not very developed, or in the primary era, a trick can eat all over the world, the rise of science and technology and system, can make a country's national strength progress by leaps and bounds, but to a certain extent of scientific and technological development, this will not work.

Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, the technology of the whole world has been greatly developed, when various basic disciplines have been established and began to develop in depth, a country wants to develop, relying on comprehensive national strength.

Why did Britain decline, first, the weakening of the Second World War was only one of the aspects, and what really made Britain decline was the land area. If Britain can occupy enough territory, their development will definitely not return to such stamina, if Germany can unify the European continent, these two countries will inevitably rise, and the huge land and population will give them unlimited possibilities.

It's a pity that history has no ifs, and they have not seized these rare opportunities, and even the same American economic crisis, domestic funds and manpower were transferred outward, and after the Soviet Union got it, it quickly asked for the original situation, developed rapidly, and laid the foundation for the future superpower, but Germany also undertook these, but it was only a deformed development, focusing on one aspect, but it did other aspects. To put it bluntly, it is a huge difference in land area and population, and the same capital and technology will bring different improvements.

In this time and space, with the help of such a rare opportunity as the outbreak of World War I, China has developed rapidly under the premise that all countries in the world are not aware of it, not only throwing off the past in one fell swoop, but also in a few years, China has quietly established a complete set of industrial base, and formed its own style.

If it is said that in the early days of Yang Yuanzhao's crossing, it was noticed by the great powers, maybe Yang Yuanzhao's forces, under the strangulation of the great powers, will develop very slowly, it cannot be said that it cannot develop, but there will be many twists and turns, but unfortunately the great powers did not notice that Yang Yuanzhao is also developing Baotou, a region in the western part of Chinese mainland, which is far away from the sphere of influence of the great powers.

Starting from agriculture, after the accumulation of handicrafts, quickly entered the heavy industry, here, I have to say that Williams, the American steel expert, really gave China a huge help, without his help under the Baiyun Obo steel center, China may take a few years to build a steel center, at the beginning of the 20th century, steel is everything, without steel everything needless to say, weapons, guns, artillery, and even warships, will not appear, one wrong step, no Williams, Perhaps the pace of China's reunification will slow down a lot, and even when Russia moves eastward, China may have to shed more blood to be able to resist Russia.

At that time, even if the northwest was not ready, it would have fought with Russia, but in the early stage of development, if it was hit like this, China would have many disasters and difficulties in the future, whether it was the revolutionary party or Beiyang, they would not let go of the opportunity for the northwest to be weakened, and compete with the northwest, maybe the unification of the world would become a three-country struggle for hegemony, and many opportunities must not be missed.

There is no if, in the past development of China, not only more than Yang Yuanzhao such a traverser, but also in the complex situation of China and the world, choose the most correct choice, 9 years have passed, China is no longer the seedlings of the past, when the great powers can not see, concentrate on the development to a considerable extent, and after various arrangements, obtain a large area of land and population, China's power has become, as long as there is 10 years, recuperate, solidify the current vast territory, China will form a whole, and there will be no possibility of other countries rising.

The population is there, the territory is there, and even because of the crazy expansion, it doesn't even care about the territory that Turkey sends to his mouth and asks him to take, but in this process, there is one direction that is an exception, and that is the Pacific Ocean.

That's right, the only place where China currently maintains a strong position is the Pacific Ocean, as the world's largest ocean, accounting for almost one-third of the world's huge ocean, such a huge place, only a few islands, before the advent of the era of airplanes, no country can control such a huge sea surface, but the harsh environment of the islands and the huge Pacific Ocean are enough to discourage everyone and countries, and forcibly invest, not only does not have the slightest output, but will become a burden.

During World War I, all the islands in Germany were seized by Japan, and it was said that they were occupied, but in fact, it was just a detachment in the past, which was occupied like a horse race, and the United States lost hundreds of soldiers on Guam, but on these islands in Germany, there were no more than 100 soldiers, and even the Germans did not exceed 2,000.

However, after the advent of the aircraft era, only a few key islands can be controlled to include the Pacific Ocean, such as now, China controls many islands in the southwest Pacific Ocean, Hawaii in the center, and the Kuril Islands in the northwest and the Aleutian Islands in the northeast, basically most of the Pacific Ocean is included in the scope of China, not to say, others can't enter, but if you want to compete with the Chinese here, it is almost impossible to do.

In a vast Pacific Ocean, almost all the interests are related to China, not only shipping, but China has gradually gained practical benefits from these islands, the first of which is fishing.

The fishery itself is the most eye-catching ocean, but before, relying on the sky to eat, the vast deep sea, although there are fish, but the density is small, and the difficulty of fishing is huge, the real fishery resources are rich in the continental shelf, which almost concentrates more than 90 organisms and resources in the ocean.

The continental shelf, to put it bluntly, is the area with a water depth of about 200 meters, which is generally at the edge of the continent, so it is called the continental shelf, but around the islands, especially around the dense islands, similar continental shelves are not few, in the southwest Pacific region, dense islands and continental shelves, these places, there is no ocean current, and it is not a traditional fishing ground, which does not mean that it cannot be developed.

Where can China grow seaweed on a large scale, seaweed is not only the source of life, but also the forest in the sea, in the world's oceans, such forest area is decreasing, this is because of human activities and overfishing, at the beginning of the 20th century, even when the protection of forests has not been made, the protection of marine forests, is a proposition that has never been mentioned.

But this proposition for China, not only completed, but also money, yes, is money, when China's forest protection extends to the ocean, the cost of spending is simply unbearable, a square kilometer of water, to complete the planting of seaweed, the cost of input may be several times that of forest planting, and even need to maintain for several years, in the beginning, there is no benefit, after all, comprehensive planting of seaweed, it is impossible to use all edible seaweed, among the thousands of species of seaweed in the world, Only a tenth of them are edible, and most of them are inedible.

At that time, China only chose the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea as a pilot plantation, and the largest South China Sea has not yet been developed, but the invested funds have gone to the sea, and even once opposed by the National Congress, it was still under the input and support of Yang Yuanzhao, but slowly, with the continued investment, the opposition gradually became smaller, but there were more people in favor, because marine algae, once the planting is completed, the harvest obtained to the sea can be much higher than on the land, the benefits of planting forests are much higher.

Once the seaweed forms a scale, the direct economic benefits are enough to make people marvel, compared to the land, the ocean is more huge, but also more abundant, some world-class fishing grounds, relying on the conflict between the ocean currents, the bottom nutrients to be raised, but the seaweed itself has such an ability, huge seaweed, not only has the ability to provide food, but also can provide a place for aquatic life to hide and inhabit, once these plantings are completed, form a stable and fixed ecological environment, Although the East China Sea, the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea have not yet formed a world-class fishery like Hokkaido, it is an indisputable fact that fishery resources are rapidly increasing, producing more and more, and the benefits are getting better and better.

The ocean is not only larger than the land, the biological community of the ocean, the space is larger, just a continental shelf, 200 meters in the area, it is divided into several levels, different fish can live at different levels, and the land, only a small part of the shallow, and the ground life of the creatures is also very few, most of them are small creatures, the upper sky also has birds to live, but such creatures, the number is very small, and the ocean can not be compared at all, this is also the advantage of the ocean, even relative to the land, The fish in the ocean can directly obtain value, which is already a high yield compared to the input, not to mention such planting, which is a good thing.
