Chapter 326: Twenty-Year Development Program
readx; In the interior of Asia, there are large deserts, and among these deserts there are oases. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the western part of the Tianshan Mountains, there will be much less desert here.
The North-Western Military District launched its offensive precisely from the area west of the Tien Shan Mountains, and after taking control of eastern Uzbekistan, it attacked Turkmenistan directly from the Uzbek region.
The westward expansion of the Imperial Chinese Army has attracted the attention of the world.
Britain was most worried because the Imperial Chinese Army would border the British colonies of Iran and Afghanistan after the invasion of Turkmenistan.
At the same time, China will present a situation of encirclement of the Indian colonies.
In the east, there was the Kokang Kingdom of Burma, and in the north the Tibetan Province of China, and in the west, the Chinese Empire expanded into Turkmenistan.
But Britain has no reason to stop the Chinese [***] team that is moving westward in a big way.
First of all, these countries were Soviet countries, and although supplies could be transported to these Soviet countries by railroad in the Middle East, there was no connection between the two sides.
For this, all Britain can do is remain silent.
…… In April, with the arrival of spring, the snow begins to melt.
With incomparably high speed, the Chinese Empire successively captured major cities in Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan.
The ideal way to settle down the region quickly is to establish a puppet regime and then rule over the local peoples.
But apparently the top brass of the Chinese Empire had no such intentions and intentions.
When Liu Xiaoguo was sent to command this war, he guessed the fate of those people, because he was specialized in this business.
He is some '***] official, a '***] official" who often leads to the mass disappearance of the local population.
The X-ray policy has been used by Liu Xiaoguo very skillfully, but Liu Xiaoguo feels that he still has a lot to learn, especially the measures taken by Xu Yuan, the president of the Nanyang Republic, which is very meaningful for him to learn.
Because of the underdevelopment of communication and the incomplete transmission of information, it is difficult for the people of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan to unite.
Liu Xiaoguo began to organize the local people to build roads to ensure that the supply of the army could keep up, but in the process of building these roads, certain '[***] officials" led to the tragedy.
Many years later, it is difficult to find some ethnic groups in the interior of Asia, and it is all done by these [***] officials.
By this time, the Chinese Imperial Army had already surrounded Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, and with the arrival of the beginning of spring, two mountain divisions and four infantry divisions also invaded this area.
By the end of April, the Chinese Emperor [***] team had finally taken control of the entire region of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, and had advanced to the western part of the Caspian Sea.
Railways and highways from the Chinese Empire were also urgently being built into the area.
…… The Paris Peace Conference, which lasted two months, also ended, with France receiving most of the reparations.
Germany had to pay large reparations for this, which sowed the seeds of war.
The French Prime Minister also saw the problem, saying: "This is not peace, but a truce for twenty years." ”
In fact, according to the original history, the war broke out without waiting for twenty years.
It was mainly Britain who contributed to this problem, and in order to balance the land power of Europe, they did not allow France to get the industrial areas of West Germany as they wished, which meant that Germany's power was not greatly weakened.
The wars on the Western Front were fought in France and Belgium, and Germany's industrial areas were not destroyed, which provided a guarantee for Germany's future rise.
Xia Jun was happy to see this, and made a plan to provoke Germany to start a war.
As the news of the victories at the front came back to China, the people of the Chinese Empire expressed their calmness and did not exaggerate it in the newspapers.
For such a weak country as a bully, it is naturally better to be silent.
But in the hearts of the people, there is obviously a sense of joy.
Winning a war is a result that the people of every country are happy to see, and as for losing a war, the result is more serious.
Because the war was lost, the people were not willing to send their relatives to die on the battlefield, so the revolution would break out.
To put it bluntly, war is a thing that the people can accommodate, and it is okay to fight a few defeats, but don't keep losing, and after the defeat is until the people have no confidence in victory, no one wants to go to the battlefield.
If the country can win the war, although it is very reluctant to see its relatives go to the battlefield, at least the situation is very optimistic, and it is not necessarily their relatives who die.
And if there are some advantages to participating in the war, then it will be even more supportive of the war.
However, at this time, the people of the Chinese Empire also had a righteous slogan, that is, in order to suppress the spread of Soviet power, they launched this attack.
There is a moral advantage.
World public opinion has mixed reviews of the war launched by China.
Some believe that China has great territorial ambitions and is constantly expanding outward at this time, and Western countries should be vigilant enough.
Others believe that China's attack on Soviet power is just in order to stifle the spread of the proletarian revolution.
The former is the work of white nationalism, and when they see the rise of China, they instinctively reject it.
Because the previous world was a world dominated by white people, and the rise of China at this time posed a threat to this system.
As a result, many Caucasians are hostile to China.
The latter looks at the war from the perspective of capitalism, and this proletarian revolution is indeed a great threat to capitalism.
Many Caucasian people look at this problem from both angles, which is more contradictory.
It is an indisputable fact that China has expanded to the outside world every year, and by launching this war and the concessions of New Russia, China has already seized nearly 2.6 million square kilometers of territory in the western region.
Since its reunification, China has first seized more than 2 million square kilometers in Indonesia, more than 600,000 square kilometers in Burma, nearly 2 million square kilometers in the Far East, and now more than 2.6 million square kilometers in the interior of Central Asia.
Combined, 7 million square kilometers of territory have been occupied by China.
China's territory has skyrocketed to more than 16 million square kilometers, and that's counting, of course, Indonesia and Myanmar.
Although these are two reading countries, everyone knows that these two countries are actually equivalent to two provinces of China.
With the partition of Russia, China has become the largest country in the world.
The result of a country with such a huge territory, and the advanced productive forces, is terrifying that anyone can imagine.
Moreover, at this time, China was completely self-contained, and with the establishment of the Asian Economic Community, China had initially formed its own world system.
In contrast to international capital, which is based in the United States, Chinese capital is based on a huge territory and a huge population.
The rivalry between the two sides was the main contradiction of the post-war period.
…… For China's future development, Xia Jun and the cabinet have set a preliminary program.
In terms of economic development, we will take the route of self-sufficiency, reduce the import of commodities, and import cheap raw materials, and at the same time increase the exploitation of our own raw materials to a certain extent.
It is no longer a question of whether to dig up the resources within its borders at this time, as long as China can achieve international hegemony, it will be able to control the resources of other countries.
Therefore, by increasing the exploitation of its own resources, after the outbreak of war, it will be able to quickly get rid of its dependence on foreign raw materials, and increase its reserves for raw materials that it does not have.
Reserve to the point where it can't be squandered in war.
"We have reduced the import of goods, and precious metals will not flow out. At the same time, it can continue to absorb the world's precious metals. Xia Jun emphasized this point at the meeting, "Therefore, in the future, the imperial government will carefully classify import and export commodities, focus on the commodities that depend on imports, and then invest certain resources for development." ”
"In terms of foreign exports, China focuses on exporting heavy industrial products such as aircraft, automobiles, and ships, so that our industries can continue to operate. Therefore, we must not only take the high-end route, but also not let go of the low-grade route. ”
High-end can make money, and low-grade can crowd other countries out of this market.
If it monopolizes the world's aircraft and automobile manufacturing, then China will form a huge manufacturing scale.
Of course, it is impossible to monopolize it all, and at least American international capital will not let these Chinese industries drive directly into the United States.
In the domestic economy, Xia Jun's strong productive forces are popularized.
At this time, China had a strong productive force, and of course this productive force was applied to the monopoly of capital, because the huge increase in productivity made monopoly capital like the East China Group have a huge market competitive advantage.
It is also very important to improve the productivity of those industries that are not involved in the East China Group, and the popularization of productivity that Xia Jun refers to is to popularize the productivity to ordinary people.
That is, to ban inefficient production methods and develop high-efficiency production models.
At the same time, we should increase the construction of people's livelihood, and only when workers have money can we promote the prosperity of the market, so it is necessary to further increase the wages of workers, especially the wages of workers in inland provinces.
The economic development of China as a whole can no longer be too deformed as it is now.
However, this problem has been greatly improved, and the economy of the inland provinces and the northern provinces has begun to develop, and with the smooth roads, the economic development of these provinces is also very fast.
In the future, China's economy will mainly rely on internal pulls.
After all, China has 450 million people, accounting for 26% of the world's population.
The export of foreign commodities is mainly to maintain the operation of the war industry and to absorb precious metals.
The situation facing China at this time is far from being as bad as that of later China, so China's exports are definitely not the main thing.
In the future, China will not take the route of making its own consumption for others, but the route of making its own consumption.
We must make sure that our people can afford to drive cars and use household appliances.
The development of automobiles, household appliances, and other commodities is related to the war, and as long as China can continuously expand its domestic demand market, it will be able to keep these industries running.
And relying solely on exports is not a wise choice.
Therefore, one of the core administrative goals of China in the future is to increase the national income so that the people can afford to use automobiles, household appliances and other products.
A country can only be strong when its people are strong.
If we want to pull domestic demand to the point where we can generally afford to buy cars, we first need to make progress in productivity so that individual productivity can be improved.
As personal productivity increases, more things are produced.
At the same time, it is necessary to distribute wealth relatively evenly, so that money can be fully brought into play to stimulate domestic demand.
It's not a problem in terms of productivity, Xia Jun is a plug-in, and there is absolutely no problem in terms of productivity.
Another is the problem of wealth distribution, monopoly exists, the East China group has become the largest monopoly group in China, but the profits of these monopolies are handed over to the state and used to cooperate with the war, so these wealth is not grabbed by individuals, but evenly distributed to the people.
Eliminating the gap between the rich and the poor in the form of monopoly is a method that Xia Jun is currently taking.
At the same time, the collection of personal income tax must be increased, especially for those high-income groups.
These high-income groups are already very rich, and money is just a digital concept for them, and it doesn't hurt to collect a little higher personal income tax.
For capitalists, their income is mainly the profits of the company, but if these profits are invested in research and development, this part of the money is not taxed.
And the part of the dividends is taxable.
Collect the money from the upper class, and then use the money to build some projects, and spend the money to promote national employment.
Under the condition that wealth is reasonably distributed, goods such as automobiles and home appliances will gradually develop into daily necessities.
"At the same time, it is a very important key point to fully mobilize the people's active production and surname." Xia Jun said at the meeting.
As China's welfare gets better and better, some negative phenomena have also emerged, and some people have become stressless and have become inert.
Good welfare has its advantages, but it also has negative aspects.
Becoming lazy and not doing things, this is a problem.
The usual way to solve this problem is to flog the people forward by issuing more money so that wage growth can never keep up with the pace of inflation.
At this time, the empire did not need to use such means for the time being, and at this time the Chinese empire had already formed a nationalism, and it was to the extent that nationalism was highly revived.
As long as you call for more calls, you can have a good effect.
The model of serving the country through public production has also appeared in China, which is mainly based on the model of today's society, and since the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War, the public service to the country has been rapidly popularized.
As a country with a high degree of nationalist recovery, this kind of public production is very easy to spread.
At this time, China was also a country with a high degree of nationalism, and the public industry to serve the country naturally appeared, and many citizens joined the ranks of the public industry to serve the country.
For such a public property to serve the country, the imperial political axe is not completely advocated.
As long as everyone works hard, produces more, and manufactures more high-quality goods, it will be enough for the imperial political axe.
Therefore, we will continue to appeal to the people and strive to create a hard-working social culture.
Later generations of Europeans had good welfare, so they were particularly lazy, which was a common problem.
At this time, if China wants to avoid following the path of later Europe, it must first make its citizens more industrious, so that it can create more wealth.
Of course, the industriousness of the people will increase their income.
This is because increasing national income can expand domestic demand, but if it becomes industrious, income does not increase, then it may cause a surplus of goods, which will lead to some bad consequences.
In general, it is a call for workers to work more and earn more wages.
At the same time, in the future, the Chinese imperial government should ensure the employment rate, and in the case of high productivity, employment is a problem, and if you want to have a sufficient employment rate, you must have enough consumption.
Because productivity goes up, you can't continue to make without consuming.
The premise of consumption is employment, and the second is to increase income.
At this time, there are still many Chinese citizens who have not joined this high-efficiency production team, or have not fully joined, and employment is still a problem to be faced.
This is the time for the political axe to play its role, by increasing tax revenues and then launching some projects to promote employment.
In terms of future construction, China will be half of the people revolving around the construction, and half of the construction will revolve around the people.
That is, half and half, what is earned around construction is military construction, and half of what is revolved around people is people's livelihood construction.
Economic construction is also an important link in armament building.
This is also the general construction program, and this is a line that China needs to adhere to in the next 20 years.
In the economic field, the next 20 years will still be the monopoly period of the East China Group.
The monopoly of the East China Group can bring great convenience to the political axe.
At the same time, it can better restrain China's national capitalists, and it is precisely the existence of the East China Group that allows China to integrate the power of capitalists at this time.
"The future of the empire is full of hope and brightness in the future, as long as we work hard enough, we can make China stand on top of the world." Xia Jun said to everyone at the end of the meeting.
There are many things that can be worked on, and for the political axe of the Chinese Empire, there are endless things that can be done.
Because the whole country is taking the route of fine management, so there will always be endless things, if every area is carefully managed in an orderly manner, it will be into the network of rivers rushing into the sea, and the more tributaries, the more power it can have.
Xia Jun's speech ended, and there was warm applause below.
The ministers of the cabinet and various departments clapped their hands vigorously one by one, in the Chinese Empire, not all meetings must clap their hands, but if you think it is good, you can clap it, even if it is not good, even to the superiors, the Chinese Empire hardly does anything formal.
A meeting is a meeting, a speech is a speech, and it is necessary to have substance, and to kill time by engaging in something false and empty is an act of murdering other people's lives.
Because they are taking the road of fine management, officials do not have time to engage in those messy things, and the ability of an official depends on how many things he has done, not on how many meetings he has held and how many long and boring speeches he has made.
Incompetent officials can only get out.
This is true both at the central and local levels.
In particular, at the local level, officials cannot evade the people's supervision and questioning, and facing the masses of the people with higher and higher quality and higher vision, this is an increasingly severe test for those officials whose ability is not good.
