Chapter 1450: Changes in Southeast Asia
At present, Lanfang is still a country on the surface, but in fact, it has become an official administrative division of China, and even the nominal leaders no longer exist, they have been transferred back to China, and they have been appointed, divided into different regions, and named regional governors.
At this time, Lanfang, that is, Southeast Asia, is not Southeast Asia a few years ago, it has been almost 3 years since the outbreak of the European War, and Lanfang has joined the war for more than two years, precisely because it is at the time of war, many things, no one pays attention, whether it is the change of leaders, or the change of regional population.
Since the 80s of the 20th century, direct disputes between countries have been decreasing, but ********, and even national independence, has become the mainstream of disputes between countries and even regions********.
Even if China has the power to suppress national independence, it must be avoided as much as possible, because any suppression and fighting is a consumption of China's own strength, which Yang Yuanzhao tries to avoid.
To solve the problem of national independence, this is a worldwide problem, to the future generations, not many people have a good way, in the middle, the Americans once practiced, is the best example, has become Yang Yuanzhao's natural choice. The Americas, the United States, used to be the territory of the Indians, but now, even in the United States, the Indians have become a minority, and even must be protected by protected areas, which is also the fundamental reason why the Indians cannot afford to make big waves.
The United States is using western cowboys, with decades of time, gradually slaughtered, solved countless Indians, the current world pattern, the world situation, it is impossible to support China in Southeast Asia, continue to do it again, but China is also different from the United States, China has a huge population base, and countless splendid and long-standing civilizations, which has become a prerequisite for assimilation, with immigration, education, differentiation and integration, etc., to turn them into Chinese has become the focus, among them, they are not allowed to stay in Southeast Asia, is the first thing to do.
In the middle, there is some high pressure, there are also some strong, this is for the stability of future generations must be done, in the pattern of world war, in the current world mainstream thinking, this approach is still relatively mild, the effect is also quite outstanding, after more than a year of efforts, the current number of natives in Southeast Asia, but about 35 million, of which more than 8 percent, living in the Indochina Peninsula, the entire Malacca, the Indonesian islands, Borneo and the Philippines, a total of only 7 million people.
Compared with the natives of the Indonesian islands and even the Philippines, the natives of the Indochina Peninsula are more trusted by China, which itself is an area of Chinese influence, in the early Qing Dynasty or a vassal state of China, basically hundreds of thousands of years, influenced by Chinese civilization, many countries, Chinese is still the standard script, among the high-level, quite a market, these ethnic groups for China's rule, there is no rebellion, but rejoice.
Even so, China still mixed the same number or even more Chinese in these territories, using relatively modest methods to dilute their ethnic groups, and in the next 10 years, this measure will continue, and eventually the total number of ethnic minorities will be controlled to less than 15% of the total population, and the total number of single ethnic groups will be controlled to less than 3%, which is a relatively safe number.
With the experience of later generations, China will not engage in any ethnic settlements, only to divide and disintegrate them into the Chinese nation, and to thoroughly integrate them into the Chinese nation is the most correct choice, and the Han nationality that integrates into everything is their future race, and this is a method of long-term peace and stability.
In order to facilitate management, Lan Fangguo joined the camp of the Entente in China, which is no longer suitable as the manager of Southeast Asia, and is not open to the public for the sake of influence, Lan Fangguo is still divided into several provinces, Indochina is a complete province, Borneo is another, and then there are Southeast Asian islands, Malacca and the Philippines, this is just a temporary division, and it does not even take into account the current situation, so that the pace of Lan Fang's integration into China is accelerating.
Among all the provinces in Southeast Asia, the most important is Borneo, as the first developed place in China, the longest operating place, after the establishment of Lanfang, Borneo, which became the capital, on the basis of the original plantations, spent a lot of money, carried out the process of industrialization, and has now basically completed the process of industrialization.
Borneo was not rich in resources in China's newly occupied territories, and there was no great variety of resources, which is why the Dutch did not focus on it, even in the era of Dutch rule, the capital of Indonesia was on another island.
The Netherlands is the Netherlands, the Netherlands is a declining, even industrialization is carried out by relying on Europe, itself has not completely completed the industrialization of the country, but what is China, born under the premise of the blockade of Europe and the powers, completed the process of industrialization, and formed a strong country, for him, resources, the foundation is not important, the completion of industrialization only needs two aspects, one has convenient transportation, can transport raw materials and industrial products, the other point, there is enough population and space, Accommodating industrialization only.
Borneo has both, it is big enough, it is one of the few islands in the world, and it is relatively flat, then it can build a series of cities, agriculture supports industry, even industry needs water and land, Borneo also has it, as for the population, the current population of Borneo is 20 million, it is enough to prove everything.
Even if it is from scratch, the experienced ones are faster than the inexperienced ones, not to mention China, which has a huge construction speed that is unimaginable to outsiders, the development of Borneo is almost ever-changing, almost every few months, there are different developments, with Pontianak as the center, along the seaside, in turn, is the least 20 port cities, each port city has at least 300,000 people, the degree of urbanization is as high as 77%, much higher than the Indochina Peninsula, higher than other islands in Southeast Asia.
The low local labor cost, to undertake the settlement of China's industry, in the choice of industry, Borneo's industrial layout is based on the status quo and complementary to China's layout, with petrochemical, rubber industry, sugar, textile and printing and dyeing as the core of the industry, in Borneo lined up, because of the relationship of the Scheer order, but also transferred a part of the steel industry and shipyards, at present, the largest steel mills and shipyards in Southeast Asia, are distributed in Borneo.
As a country, Borneo is unqualified, he does not have a complete industrial chain, can not produce all the goods needed for production and life, but Borneo does not need this, he is just a province, only use the development of China for them, the most suitable for their development projects, as for the rest, can be imported from Chinese mainland.
Singleness is always faster than all-round development, of course, all-round means unlimited, that is a country only considers the problem, Borneo does not need it congenitally, they just need to focus on their own focus to do a good job.
Now, Borneo's economic aggregate is no less than that of the world powers, it should be inferior to Britain, France, Germany and the United States, and Russia, Austria-Hungary should be similar, there is no special calculation, even if it is poor, it is almost the same, as for Spain, the Netherlands, Turkey and the like, it is far more than that. Of course, it cannot be said that China, not counting Borneo, has surpassed the sum of the world's top ten countries in terms of total economic accounts, or even higher, plus Borneo and the whole of Southeast Asia, it is just icing on the cake, even if it is the top ten industrial total, compared to China's total number of several times that of the United States, it is really nothing.
Under the circumstance that the world powers are not perceived, China has grown into a behemoth, hundreds of millions of people, perfect industry, and a stronger industrial level, which are combined, the power exuded is far from being comparable to the general imagination, China not only gives full play to the advantages of science and technology, but also gives full play to the advantages of population, the huge Chinese territory and population, forming a joint force, promoting China, rapid development, every minute and every second is different, this, the rest of the world, Not even Germany expected it.
The most important thing is that this development is still sustainable, unlike the European fertility policy, China has always believed in the power of more people, many years of agrarian society, people have become a key factor, there are talented people wealth, the emergence of Yang Yuanzhao, exacerbated the process of change in China, but did not change this one, this, from the population growth rate of 18% in 1915 can be seen, on average every 3 couples, there will be a child.
This is extremely terrible, this population growth is not as good as the growth of later generations, but in the case of a greatly reduced mortality rate and a continuous increase in population growth rate, at most 5 years, China's population will grow again, this, Yang Yuanzhao is not only not afraid, but also very supportive, China already has 3 times the land of the past, even if part of the land carrying capacity is not strong, accommodate 2 times the population of later generations, it can still be done, if China has 2 billion, or even 3 billion people, I am afraid there is no need to fight, No country would dare to challenge this behemoth.
Under the premise of political stability and sufficient food rations, the population will not only not become a huge burden, but will become a huge support, people will work, labor can create wealth, and create civilization, Yang Yuanzhao believes that under his leadership, as long as China lays the foundation for 15 to 20 years, even if China moves forward by inertia, there will be no force to stop it, and any challenge to China will become as ridiculous as a mantis arm.
