Chapter 1559: It's a little late
Yang Yuanzhao sighed, it's a pity that such a good plan, if this was proposed at the beginning of the war, there would be no time problem at all, because in the early days of the war, Yang Yuanzhao knew that this war would be at least more than 4 years, as long as 2 years, to complete the construction of the canal, busy 2 years, enough for the canal to recover most of the cost, even if it is a year, it will be much better, and the problem of restricting the construction of the canal will not exist.

For a moment, Yang Yuanzhao was even a little annoyed, he remembered so many things, even including some patterns and data of future semiconductor and computer development, but this kind of omission has such great significance, if at the beginning of the war, or even before the war, China paid attention to this plan, Lanfang's layout was far before the outbreak of World War I, and the southern region of Thailand, even during the period of Lanfang's secret development, could also carry out some preliminary work, Southeast Asia controlled by France, It's more about controlling ports like Haiphong Port and some rich places, the site of the Kra Canal, which is a no-man's land with poor mountains and bad waters, how can they pay attention.
As Wang Rongmin said, the voyage is the key, China to the Middle East, if you count from Guangzhou in the south, 1200 kilometers, may represent a quarter of the voyage, even from Shanghai, from Qingdao, is also a fifth, speed not only represents efficiency, but also represents the improvement of total transportation capacity, saving a quarter and a fifth of the time, representing China's transportation capacity to increase a quarter to a fifth, which is a time of war, under the premise of racing against time, may arrive 2 days in advance, To be able to change the course of a war, 1,000 tons, or even 10,000 tons of more materials, can make a city that could have fallen to hold, and from this point of view, the strategic significance is incomparable.
Even from an economic point of view, even if only a quarter of the cost of savings is charged, or even one-eighth, in 3 years, most of the investment will be recovered, and the project can already be a sure success, instead of being so hesitant and in a dilemma.
Yang Yuanzhao had a clear understanding in his heart, he should be sorting out his memories to see if there was something very strategic that was missed by his memory, but soon, Yang Yuanzhao shook his head, it's been too long, 8 years, especially in the past few years of becoming a leader, there are thousands of things, and even the development of science and technology is contained, Yang Yuanzhao can recall the things, only those things with the deepest memory are left, and even the gossip of those stars in later generations is clearer than those of infrastructure memory, there is not enough stimulation, It's almost impossible to imagine.
Yang Yuanzhao put his heart on this report again, it is really an embarrassing time period, it is already 1916, from the war that broke out in 1913, to now, it has been 4 years, will it continue for 2 years, this point even Yang Yuanzhao is not sure, 3 years is almost impossible, the high casualties and high losses brought by modern war, even the United States can not support it, this has nothing to do with China, fighting must find an opponent, a war without an opponent, it is not a war, Under the premise that all countries in the world must withdraw, China will gain more than it loses if it is forced, and maybe it will be set on fire by the whole world, after all, the conflict between the yellow race and the white race is natural and irreconcilable.
In case when the canal is opened, the war is over, what should I do, can't we turn on the oil in the Middle East at that time, it will add fuel to the fire, even if it is the countries that have won and lost in the war, and even the powers that have been weakened because of the war, including Germany, will not let go of such a treasure land, in the face of the increasingly important premise of oil, a place that occupies more than half of the world's oil production areas, is crazy, and then the war will be rekindled, the difference is that China will never have allies again, It will face the vast majority of the world's mainstream countries.
In this era of chaos, there is a naked law of the jungle between countries, there is no morality to talk about, only eternal interests, in the case of interests, just like the current alliance between Germany and China, Germany is not impossible to tear up, as long as the Entente gives Germany enough benefits, plus China has a certain attraction, it will make Germany change its course in minutes.
China's strength has been hidden in the clouds, but China's promotion of motor vehicles has been the mainstream of the future development of the world, the price of oil to a certain extent, will produce an upward trend, at this time, a Baku not to mention for the time being, in the Middle East to find 10 such oil fields like Baku, will make the world crazy, imperialism has always been greedy, including this war, but also under the premise of uneven distribution of spoils, eventually broke out.
China's support for Germany has reasonably maintained a degree of problem, and the contradictions between Germany and France can not be reconciled, which makes the European war so lively, once the Middle East oil is a very attractive thing, 100 billion tons of oil reserves, what a wealth this is, even if it is now forty or fifty billion dollars of oil, it is also a wealth of 4 trillion US dollars, I am afraid that the eyes of the world will look here, under the premise of sufficient interests, all covenants, all promises will become a joke, Just like the joke noted in later generations, when the level of money starts from 50,000 and increases by 10 as an order of magnitude, all the mountains and seas are jokes, even if some people insist in vain, and the other half change their minds, this insistence is just a pale speech, not a real rational judgment, and which joke is just if, in the real world, when 50,000, 500,000, 5 million, or even 50 million cash, put in front of the impact, it is incomparable.
Oil has never been a high-value thing, even in later generations, a barrel rose to 100 US dollars, but it can not be compared with most of the world's precious metals, but oil is a consumable, whether it is kerosene in this era, gasoline production in later generations, consumption is huge, and the output of oil fields is constantly climbing peaks, from 100 million tons, 1 billion tons, 10 billion tons, keep climbing, which contains wealth, more than a gold mountain, on the current largest gold mine, may be the final figure of more than 1,000 tons, Less than 10,000 tons, no matter how expensive gold is, it cannot be 100,000 times more expensive than oil.
It is precisely because of this that China has always been careful to guard against this, for Germany is limited proximity, careful support, and did not put their hearts in their hearts, go all out, China's military and weapons development, far beyond this era, China's weapons, plus the German army, is a perfect combination, if China went all out to support, directly China's most sophisticated weapons, delivered to Germany, the First World War would have ended long ago.
Many of China's weapons have the power to directly end this war, especially in the case of such a narrow territory in Europe, the British and American entry-level tanks, bazookas can still deal with, but China's new heavy tanks, with a weight of 40 tons, can also move at a speed of 70 kilometers, once the number is enough, it is not something that the bazooka can resist, not to mention that Britain and the United States do not have bazookas, infantry weapons and artillery, in the face of such a tank group, it is a joke.
Not even talking about tanks, just a few years ago the Fantasy class, when China was in Qingdao, already had the ability to mass-produce the Fantasy class, at that time the limit was at least 16 ships, when the Scheer fleet went back not 9 battleships, but 25, this batch of battleships was enough to overwhelm the British, the course of the war, it must change, 9 super battleships, has changed the showdown between Britain and Germany, long-term battleships, conservative estimates, 9 battleships plus the command system, at least equivalent to 20 ordinary battleships, But when this battleship is raised to 25 ships, as soon as it is contacted, I am afraid that the British battleships will be completely hit, and there is no other choice, once the British capital ships are killed on a large scale, or even cease to exist, Britain will not even be able to do the current mine defense, even a little bit of prie, the British mainland will not be protected.
Yang Yuanzhao has no intention of confronting the Caucasians head-on, although so far, China has the confidence to confront the Caucasians, China not only has the most terrible mobilization capacity in the whole world, but also has the most terrifying industrial capacity in the world.
However, China's total industrial value is 8 times that of the United States, and it has surpassed the United States in terms of per capita national output.
With this confidence and ability, it is not necessary to put it into practice, the time for China's rise is too short, the foundation has not been consolidated, the ability is there, but it is unstable, and if there are a few twists and turns, China's great cause of rejuvenation may be interrupted. The newly occupied territory has not been digested, in that case, even if it wins, it will be a crushing victory, consuming China's hard-won opportunity, which is not the choice of the wise.
Similar to the Empress Dowager of the West, it is an unwise choice to challenge the whole world without understanding its own strength, and when China can fight against the world, it can choose a more relaxed and peaceful path, why take the most difficult one, China has won 4 years with the help of Germany, why not persevere, to jump out of the foreground, China is too far away from the world's major powers, this is China's benefit, do not worry about the other side coming thousands of miles away, but China wants to destroy the other party, it is much more difficult, the fourth hand of the double fist may be this.
