In the final analysis, although the Asia-Pacific Alliance is more advanced than the Allies and the Entente in terms of organizational form, it has not yet reached the level of the Warsaw Pact and NATO, and in fact Li Hui does not want to be like the Soviet Union to do everything to its younger brothers, which will only arouse the dissatisfaction of the younger brothers, and the affection will also turn into hatred. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In contrast, Britain and the United States have a much higher level of control over their younger brothers (in fact, France is not bad, Germany and Japan are worse, but they are still stronger than China and the Soviet Union). Even if the national strength is weakened, those independent colonies and vassal states can still maintain respect and goodwill for the former suzerain, which is the case between the Soviet Union and China (both ancient and modern, probably only North Korea is a special case for the Ming Dynasty.) Never before in history.

However, Li Hui clearly understands that this Anglo-Saxon unique skill is not so easy to learn, and Li Hui can only say that he is drawing a scoop based on a gourd, and he can get a few essences at all, so it is prudent and pragmatic to start from the place where he is sure to improve this alliance step by step.

Moreover, there is another purpose of this purpose, that is, to prepare for the transformation of the political system of the various allied countries in the future, the republic is more advanced than the monarchy, not to mention that the ideology of cosmopolitan will inevitably be exported to the allies, except for a small country like Sikkim Bhutan in the true sense, the possibility of revolution is very high, and whether it is from the development of the allies, or from the interests of China, they are happy to see the success of the revolution. Therefore, if the covenant stipulates that the allies have the obligation to respond to the allies' requests for help, it will be very embarrassing at that time, and it will be reluctant to help, and it will be contrary to faith if they do not help, and it is better to have no such obligation to worry.

However, the Asia-Pacific Alliance still has the nature of a military-political alliance, and when a member country is invaded by a foreign enemy, all allies have the obligation to send troops to rescue them, but this does not include the situation where the foreign aggression is not successful but is reversed. Of course, even if it's not a pure war of self-defense, you can still ask for support from allies, but you can't help it in vain.

Such a provision can prevent the younger brother from dragging China into a war that outweighs the losses, but it will not affect China from pulling the younger brother into a group to beat others. Because it is not difficult for China to give the benefits of allowing the younger brother to go to the soup, but not vice versa, this is still the difference in size.

At the end of 1897, the first phase of the Tangshan Fertilizer Plant was completed and put into operation, with an annual output of more than 100,000 tons of synthetic ammonia and a total output of more than 300,000 tons of fertilizer. However, such staggering yields can only meet less than 1 percent of China's agricultural needs, even under ideal conditions with an adequate supply of farm fertilizer......

As a result, because the use of chemical fertilizers was diluted and not widespread, and China's technical secrecy was also done well, the West did not even find the problem until the second phase of the Tangshan fertilizer plant and the second batch of fertilizer plants were completed, and China's annual output of synthetic ammonia exceeded 1 million tons, that some Western scientists finally began to suspect that China had mastered artificial nitrogen fixation technology......

The reason why Li Hui asked for strict secrecy about the invention of synthetic ammonia is mainly because he does not want to give more confidence to Western investors and lead to the development of synthetic ammonia technology in advance, although China can also transfer synthetic ammonia technology to make direct profits, but compared with the huge losses caused by the huge loss caused by the West obtaining mature synthetic ammonia technology more than ten years in advance and opening up the gap in national strength, it is completely picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons. The yield of most crops can be at least doubled!

Unlike synthetic ammonia, the product of penicillin, which finally reduces the cost to the middle class family can barely afford, does not need to be kept secret, before Fleming accidentally discovered penicillin, even if Westerners get ready-made injections, they can't imagine that it comes from some kind of mold, and if you want to take the chemical synthesis route, even if it takes another half a century, there may not be any country in the world that can complete industrial synthesis, which is qualitatively different from the easy-to-synthesize tuberculosis drug isoniazid, you must know that even in the 21st century, The production of penicillin still depends on mold fermentation! The chemical synthesis of the so-called semi-synthetic penicillin is nothing more than a fine-tuning of the chemical structure of the penicillin in order to circumvent the resistance of the pathogen.

But then again, if it weren't for the extremely unstable chemical properties of penicillin itself, which could only be stored for a long time by making sodium salt and potassium salt and fully dried, and it could only be administered by injection, Li Hui would definitely add a lot of other ingredients that are actually not very useful like isoniazid, so that foreigners do not know his "magic formula", which is the safest......

Penicillin overseas sales space can be much larger than isoniazid, especially in the European and American countries with more advanced medical and health care, the number of people getting tuberculosis is limited, but the diseases caused by gram-positive bacteria are still extremely common, and the fatality rate is also extremely high, penicillin that can cure these diseases is simply equivalent to a universal life-saving drug, the price in the first few years is even more than ten times the weight of gold, and the annual sales profit has always been more than 100 tons of gold, and even up to nearly 300 tons of gold......

That's right, China earns real money from its exports, because it is difficult for Western countries to obtain Chinese dollars, and the Chinese government is reluctant to accept Western paper money, especially after the collapse of the gold standard.

Yes, all China's imports and exports must go through the government, so as to avoid vicious competition and increase bargaining power, when exporting, the store is bullying, and when importing, it is the customer, even if the Western powers control the pricing power of the world market, it is difficult to easily grab the vast majority of the profits as later generations.

What's worse is that even though the West has ceded a large part of its profits, the Chinese government still insists on implementing an extremely strict trade protection policy, as long as China can supply itself with goods, the import tariff rate must be more than 100%, and the highest can even reach 3-5 times......
