Chapter 526: The World's No. 1 for a Long Time (Part II)

In 1915, China's per capita consumption of animal food surpassed that of all Western powers, and ranked first among the world's major countries with a population of more than 10 million. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The basis for all this is the increasingly modern Chinese agriculture (broadly defined, including agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and sideline fishery. Although the area of cultivated land has temporarily stopped growing because it is no longer necessary, protecting the environment, and the development of urbanization and infrastructure, it is still stable at about 3.2 billion mu, and the proportion of cash crops has increased significantly, but due to the continuous progress of agricultural science and technology, China's total grain output in 1915 still reached a new high, reaching an unprecedented 640 million tons in human history, and more than 800 kilograms are spread to each person's head, most of which have been converted into animal foods with higher nutritional value such as meat, eggs and milk through animal husbandry.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that after the problem of food and clothing is solved, the value orientation of China's animal husbandry breed breeding has changed from tolerance to rough feeding to focusing on meat yield, that is, feed conversion rate, even if the same feed is input, the output of animal food can be much more than before, which has increased the income of farmers at the same time, but also enriched the dining table of urban and rural residents.

However, this has also brought some problems, such as the rapid decline in the production of bristles (the bristles of those pigs with high meat production rates are generally not useful, which is also an important reason for the long-term large export of Chinese bristles). In the end, the government can only greatly increase the purchase price of pig bristles, especially high-quality pig bristles, and even the so-called "bristle pigs" have appeared, and low-grade demand such as toothbrushes has been widely replaced by new materials such as cheaper nylon, which ensures the supply of high-end brushes required by the navy.

In any case, the nutritional status of the Chinese people has indeed been further strengthened in recent years, not to mention compared with the current Western powers, even compared with the later Western developed countries. And what is rare is that due to the continuous and in-depth promotion of the national fitness movement, the tradition of Chinese people who love sports has gradually formed, and they also have a deeper understanding of reasonable diet.

In 1915, the average height of 18-year-old men in China had grown to 1.75 meters, which was on par with the Germanic people with the highest stature in the West (including branches in Northern Europe and other places), and Shandong and other northern provinces were all over 1.8 meters, of which Shandong Province even reached 1.84 meters, which made Westerners only sigh.

The Chinese also surpassed the West in all other physical qualities, the latest National Games (due to political reasons, the Olympic Games did not invite Chinese athletes to participate, the Chinese government did not bother to send people to participate, as for the Asia-Pacific Games, because the other Asian League member countries are completely uncompetitive, it cannot be held for the time being). Even the most die-hard Caucasian supremacists had to admit the superiority of the Chinese race, and even a few Westerners began to put forward the so-called "theory of Chinese superiority......

Obviously, no matter from which point of view, the current Huaxia Republic is undoubtedly the world's first power, Li Hui also proudly announced in the summary report of the first five-year plan, "Since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the world's first throne, which has been lost for hundreds of years, has finally been placed in front of us again!" ”

The hall burst into thunderous applause, and every delegate was excited, just twenty years ago, China was still treated by a small country like Japan (although Li Hui has corrected it more than once, but Chinese is still used to treating Japan as a small country...... Bullying, but now China has regained its former glory, and every Chinese person is deeply proud of this unprecedented great rejuvenation in human history, not to mention that every representative present has made outstanding contributions to this great rejuvenation, and naturally it is extremely excited.

But after the applause gradually subsided, Li Hui unexpectedly let out a sneer in front of the microphone, "Are you proud?" Indeed, it is indeed something to be proud of in just 20 years. But pride can be, and if I feel satisfied because of this, I will be disappointed, and the people of the whole country will be disappointed. Isn't the number one in the world remarkable? This is just the position that we Huaxia should have sat on! This should not be the end of our development, but a new starting point for us! ”

There was a brief silence in the venue, and then suddenly louder applause, Li Hui nodded with satisfaction, and then changed the direction of complaining, "However, for Westerners who have been accustomed to robbery and plunder since ancient times, rather than self-development, I am afraid it is difficult to understand our lofty aspirations in China." So it's no wonder that they are going to start a world war in order to defend a mere wild mouse (to quote an allusion from Zhuangzi's Huizi Xiangliang......"

"The Chinese are not belligerent, but they have never been afraid of war!" , Li Hui's attitude was very tough, but he did not take the initiative to provoke a war, and it was obvious that he still had the attitude that he could drag on one day at a time. However, it is no wonder that with the continuous research and development and application of system technology, China's national strength can reach a new level almost every year, and fools will be in a hurry to go to war. In particular, with the establishment and formation of production capacity in the four emerging industrial sectors of automobiles, aircraft manufacturing, chemical fibers, and plastics, as well as the rapid development of high-grade highways, oil refining, airport construction, air transportation, toys, new furniture and many other industries have absorbed a large number of laborers, so that Li Hui's original worry about the employment of graduates has been solved, so naturally there is no need to start the war machine in order to prevent too many young people from having nothing to do......

However, it was obvious that the Entente and its backstage bosses could not wait endlessly, and under their constant urging and persecution, although the German government knew that they had bad intentions, it still did not declare war on Soviet Russia in June 1916, and if it did not make a move, it did not hold back, and the first batch of German troops to invade Poland exceeded 1.5 million!
