Section 327 Rumors about being the emperor
Although Shandong's heavy industry did not collapse as all experts expected before the war because of a large amount of blood transfusion from the West, mainly through the production of most of the arms for Russia, the proportion of light and heavy industry is still very unbalanced, and if the war ends this year, Yang Chao dares to guarantee that it will immediately trigger a crisis of industrial surplus. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is an inevitable phenomenon, during the First World War, the Japanese heavy industry surpassed light industry, but after the war they encountered a crisis, the reason is due to imbalance, because Japan's light industry did not provide enough market for heavy industry, and the war stimulated their heavy industry, so after losing the war order, they could only collapse.
The reason why the Americans did not break out of the crisis was that their industry did not accept a large number of arms orders during the war, they mainly provided raw materials, such as steel, ore, etc., and after the war, the Europeans still had a large demand for steel, cement, ore and other materials, because they needed to rebuild the country, so the war boom in the United States lasted until 1929 before ushering in the industrial crisis, but as soon as it broke out, the scale was extremely large, becoming the largest collapse in history.
So now Yang Chao has to learn this lesson, and now more than eighty percent of Shandong's heavy industry is providing supplies for the war.
Yang Chao met with Li Fu'an, director of the wartime General Administration of Industry in Jinan, who now not only controls the distribution of orders for heavy industrial enterprises in Shandong and Northeast China, but also controls the manufacturing industry in Japan.
This made Li Fuan a little incomprehensible, the first is that this is equivalent to making him give up part of the power, this kid is very obsessed with power, he excused himself that although a large number of industrial enterprises are not saturated production, but they are still profitable, and they are very profitable, if you quit now, it is a pity.
Yang Chao told Li Fuan that if he didn't withdraw slowly now, he would not have a chance to withdraw safely in the future.
"In recent years, the light industry has developed rapidly, and the light industry in Shanghai has surpassed that of Shandong, and the price of machinery has been speculated very high, doubling compared with the pre-war period, which is a good opportunity. Now switching to civilian products will allow them to slowly control the market. If we don't seize this market now, it will be too late for the machines of Europe and the United States to come in after the war. ”
Yang Chao explained first.
Then he directly ordered: "Within three months, let all industrial enterprises free up at least 20 percent of their production capacity to put into the civilian market, within half a year to reach 40 percent, and within one year must put 80 percent of the production capacity of all enterprises into the civilian market." ”
Li Fuan, the wartime General Administration of Industry, has to obey Yang Chao, the president, from the legal point of view or habitually, Li Fuan has no intention of resisting, but slowly handed over the power in his hands, which still makes him a little unacceptable.
Yang Chao believes that a year later, when 80% of the production capacity of these enterprises is producing civilian goods, the skills to withstand the impact of post-war European industrial products will also allow them to cope with the loss of arms orders smoothly, and avoid a large-scale bankruptcy wave.
Of course, in this way, the Japanese have taken a big advantage, and as Chinese industry withdraws, Japanese industry will get more and more orders, and the Japanese economy will probably be stimulated by orders from the Korean War and then military orders from the Vietnam War, as it has done in history, and the Japanese will recover their economy to the pre-war level as quickly as possible.
However, Yang Chao is not too sorry for this, the US imperialist is not doing this.
Do you really think that the US imperialists coveted the cheapness of Japanese industrial products to hand over military orders from Korea and Vietnam to Japan?
That's because the Americans have already shifted their industry to a more stable civilian after World War II, and their companies are rebuilding production materials for Europe, so they hand over all the industrial orders of the US military to Japan, and if the US industry is not full, the US government dares to do this?
By the time of the Vietnam War, Americans' industries had turned to civilian use, and it was impossible for them to mobilize again, so they continued to cheapen the Japanese, because the Americans learned the lessons of the industrial collapse after World War I, and valued more on a stable industrial system than on an industrial system that collapsed after the outbreak.
In addition, the Americans have a firm grip on Japanese industry, and since they are able to control it, the stronger the Japanese industry, the stronger the power in their own hands.
In the future, what Yang Chao wants to build is a system that can compete with Europe and the Americas in all aspects, not only militarily, but also economically, and even culturally, so Japan is an indispensable link, after all, this is the country with the best foundation in East Asia.
Moreover, the four East Asian countries are now mixed with China, if they can't be mentioned one by one, then how can China be the boss?
Taking Japan as a benchmark is the cheapest cost, and the Japanese themselves don't even have to do anything, and then they can take it out and tell the world that it is China that has supported Japan and made Japan the most successful economy in the world, so that more countries are willing to mix with China.
If they can show the momentum of South Korea's development in the future, they can cultivate a benchmark, as for the Ryukyus, there is no need to mention, a large population and a random shipping industry is enough for them to eat, and in the future, the East Asian bloc will stand in the world with a rich and economically developed attitude, no matter what the world system is, China will use this bloc to obtain a voice that cannot be ignored.
After staying in Shandong until the end of December, he finally had to return to Beijing, because after brewing, Yang Chao's policy of reshaping the core of the nation and developing traditional culture began to appear a countercurrent, and a group with Jiangnan as the center was opposed.
These people raised the banner of opposition, and they were above board, because they emphasized that Yang Chao was promoting the revival of traditional culture, in fact, he was imitating Yuan Shikai back then, and was preparing for the restoration of the imperial system.
This kind of voice is very loud in the provincial assemblies of several provinces, and the members of the council are very radical and say that they must resist, strongly resist, and cannot allow certain people's power ambitions to succeed. Some people even proposed to withhold the local tobacco and alcohol tax, force Yang Chao to compromise, and even prepare for a crusade.
Yang Chao can't agree to the tax seizure, which is already an illegal sabotage, and the tone of the crusade is even more perverse.
"Something has to clarify this irresponsible statement, otherwise it will be a breach of the political system we are trying to maintain."
Yang Chao's attitude is very resolute, but not only can not suppress those radical remarks, but let those people become famous, as if they have become a fighter, this result makes Yang Chao very depressed, he feels that he has to do something, the Chinese tradition of anti-power is too troublesome, maybe everyone does not want to be the first bird, but someone stands up, they are happy to shout twice when they watch the excitement.
Even if Yang Chao's ruling is still recognized by the most people, when some people oppose Yang Chao, it will still attract attention, applause, and applause.
This makes these people more proud, more unscrupulous in their speech, all kinds of alarmism, all kinds of slander and ridicule.
These people's remarks have exceeded the bottom line of freedom of speech, and they can be cleaned up by law, but Yang Chao's rare silence makes these people even more nervous, and they have thrown out the argument that they should dare to confront the central government, dare to confront the central government, and be good at confronting the central government.
They began to promote the formation of local armies, believing that the formation of local national guards, modeled after the United States, was indispensable and could enable local governments to have basic defense capabilities in the face of confrontation with the central government.
Well, at this time, the purpose of these people has come out, or the backlash of the local powerful faction, even if Yang Chao does not express the attitude of advocating traditional culture, they will still find an opportunity, either today or tomorrow, as long as the ambition of the local powerful faction does not die, they will not be at peace.
This is the problem in China, and it is absolutely impermissible to declare independence at every turn, and if there is any opinion that can be expressed in Congress, it always wants to pick up a knife, and this is the biggest problem in China.
After repeatedly exchanging attitudes with parliamentarians from other provinces in Beijing, he showed that he had absolutely no intention of learning from Yuan Shikai to carry out the restoration, and then Yang Chao decided to visit Jiangnan.
In the eastern Pacific Ocean, over the Mariana Trench, it is overcast.
Electricity flickered in the gathered thick clouds, and soon a stream of lightning thicker than a bucket writhed, stabbing into the sea like a dragon, and disappeared into the sea.
What no one knew was that a huge disk, right under the lightning, completely took over the lightning.
Yang Chao's spaceship will still come to dig for gold if there is nothing to do, and the war has saved 3,000 tons of gold ore in recent years, but the output has not caught up with before, only more than 900 tons have been dug this year, and it is expected to be reduced to 700 tons next year.
However, Yang Chao has already found other rich ores, and there is also a deposit on the east coast of Australia, the reserves are not smaller than here, and the taste is also higher, and it can mine about 1,800 tons a year.
A bolt of lightning is enough to make the spacecraft work for a month, and there is no reason why the four basic energies of electromagnetism, light and heat, and the interstellar-level technology spaceship, cannot be used.
After storing enough electrical energy, the ship immediately burrowed into the ground and resumed its work.
But soon it resurfaced, and then hid at the bottom of the sea, moving quickly to the west, but not to Beijing, but to Hangzhou, quietly burrowing into the ground from the Qiantang River.
At the same time, Yang Chao's special train started, and this time he chose to take a train instead of an airship, and he would stop in the provinces along the way to communicate with the local government. (To be continued.) )
