Chapter 1484: Germany's Shortcomings
History will not repeat itself, especially under the leadership of Yang Yuanzhao, a traverser, China chose to belong to the weak Allied countries among the two major blocs of the Entente and the Allied Powers, and it was itself prepared, not to fully support Germany's hegemony, but to make the European war longer and more tragic. The emergence of China www.biquge.info Germany's labor crisis has been alleviated, from Germany's domestic industry, to agriculture, and then to agriculture in the occupied territories, and even part of France without war territory, all of which are under construction by China's mechanized equipment, machines are much faster than people, I don't know how much faster, in the prime of life, at most can cultivate more than a dozen acres, but after the use of machinery and equipment, a person can be in charge of the land, into 10 times, or even a hundred times the increase, the harm brought is only that China uses mechanized methods for planting, all aspects can only be regarded as ordinary, not particularly outstanding, it is impossible to compare with intensive cultivation alone.
To a certain extent, these planting methods still ensure sufficient yield, about 40 degrees north latitude to 60 degrees north latitude, winter wheat is suitable, planted before last year's Rudong, to June this year, ready to harvest, the use of China's many measures of strong seeds, huge hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land, planting density is not small, now there is still a month or two before the harvest, but as far as the current data is concerned, a large-scale harvest can be expected.
This is a great benefit, the people take food as their day, and if they don't eat for a day, they will be hungry and panicked, and when there is not enough food, what morale and what combat effectiveness will be nothing. Europe is based on wheat, for the Germans who eat bread, this represents a complete solution to the food problem, hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land, even if the unit yield per mu can not catch up with the average level of Germany, but it is also almost the same, in the past, the total territory of Germany is less than 700,000 square kilometers, 700,000 square kilometers of land, no matter how to produce, even if there is only one season, it is enough to increase grain production by a considerable proportion, Germany's grain has reached self-sufficiency for the first time, from about 85% self-sufficiency, It has increased to 125%, which is about half of the increase, and even after the winter wheat is harvested, planting another season of autumn grain can also make this proportion increase by a considerable amount again.
The self-sufficiency rate of grain can not only ensure that Germany is fully fed, but also carry out a part of the reserves, after all, in the wartime, there is more to it, it means to increase a part of the confidence, no one will know, what will happen next, prepare well, once encountering a disaster, there will be more leeway, this is more critical for Germany, directly avoid the biggest consequence of collapse because of food.
The newly occupied territory, mainly in grain, gives Germany a huge supplement, in the industry is not bad, not as developed as the German region, but also a small promotion, Belarus, Poland, originally belonged to the Russian industry is more developed place, especially Poland, this fertile land, plus Poland in the science and technology of the foundation, provides a lot of factories, under the Chinese manpower, Germany slightly integrated, so that this step instead the factory reached the peak of more than 8 percent of the industrial output value, It is not the best, but it can't stand the huge number, Germany in the total amount of industry, compared with 1915, and increased by 2 percent, in the world's major countries, joined the war, are weakened to varying degrees, Germany can still grow, Germany is more confident.
In addition to grain and industrial production, Germany's biggest benefit is still in Baku, this world-class oil field, itself has been greatly underestimated, before the 20th century, the world's technology has not reached a certain level, Russia is lagging behind the mainstream of the world, although it is said that a large number of loans from France, but France in the oil production machinery, he is the world's second-rate, all aspects of the output is not large.
Under the premise that oil resources are becoming more and more important, Russia also has some money on hand, and has also thought about transformation, but the involvement is too large, and the transformation takes time, and it will be over, in the case of Germany occupying Baku, on the one hand, to ensure the original oil field, normal production, on the other hand, for the existing oil field to deepen the development, concentrated exploration and development of a large number of oil fields.
The key to oil production, in fact, is to see the depth of drilling, and drilling is the need for materials, under the technical standards, in a better case, under the same material, you can drill deeper places, but the limit of materials, there will always be a limit, China's material science development is the world's first, the quality of all aspects is quite excellent, can drill 2000 meters, or even deeper depth of oil wells, these aspects, concentrated together, so that Baku's oil production is rising.
Around March 1916, Baku's oil production has exceeded Russia's highest by about 2 times, after that, China's technical level, began to burst out of power, from the original millions of tons of production, surged to tens of millions of tons, only in the first quarter of 1916, it reached 8.8 million tons, the second quarter is expected to increase to 17 million tons, the next third quarter, the fourth quarter, there will be a huge increase, the annual output is expected to be more than 90 million tons, It even rose to 100 million tons, which is a terrifying production even in later generations.
The price of oil, in this era, is quite low, a ton is only thirty or forty dollars, but it can't stand much, when the annual prospect output may reach 100 million tons, it means that just relying on oil extraction, Germany's income may reach 3 billion to 4 billion US dollars, this money is a huge number even in later generations, not to mention in this era, in terms of gold exchange, the dollar in this era is at least 30 times more expensive than the dollar in later generations, close to 100 billion US dollars, a modern war can be fought, not to mention the period of World War I, the lower intensity of the war.
Oil, from the birth to the world, is known as black gold, especially the industrial revolution into the internal combustion engine system, motor vehicles began to appear, is the world's largest consumable, is the world's most worry-free thing, China and Germany, has begun to popularize motor vehicles, whether it is a truck or a small car, have an important role, along with the popularization of the railway network and road network, Germany found that its land area began to gradually become smaller, a lot of logistics and transportation that was difficult to reach, It can be easily solved, especially in the newly occupied territory, under the continuous construction of China's construction team, one by one the highways are in the eyes, one by one the new cities are taking shape, Germany with the help of the war, for the people to re-arrange, according to this divide, at most 5 years, this part of the territory, will become the most determined part of Germany.
This is not a war before the 20th century, even if it was occupied by Lorraine in France during the Franco-Prussian War, until now, there are still voices of resistance, in World War I, Germany partnered with China, Germany cleaned up the population, and after a certain degree of discount, sent it to China, providing a steady stream of labor income for Germany, and the empty villages and cities, carried out a reasonable layout, or restarted industry, or turned into agriculture, and moved a part of the dense German population here, although the government will pay a certain price, It can be regarded as an advance of war dividends, but the German society is stable, and no matter how instigated by those who are well-intentioned, there will be no turmoil.
The instability caused by the war is because the war has affected the production and life of ordinary people, and they can't even reach half of the living conditions in front of the station, but in the current situation in Germany, in terms of the average level of the people, the living conditions in Germany are decreasing, but in the long run, it is different, the arable land of ordinary people has doubled, and there are many aspects such as future war prospects, dividends, etc., even if someone fans it, there is no soil for conspirators.
Germany's territorial expansion, in a sense, population has become the biggest factor restricting stability, Germany has expanded its population as much as possible, and even the natives from China are willing to accept it, but such an improvement has a certain limit, it is impossible for the foreign population to occupy more than one-third, which is a nightmare for Germany, God knows whether it will become Germany or other countries in the future.
However, the German family itself is a big department in the European world, and there are many countries that also speak German, in fact, there are many ethnic groups in Belgium who are German, and they are inextricably linked with Germany, but Germany occupies Belgium, an independent, complete country, and has become a prisoner, losing its independence and the stability of the country, which makes the Belgian people have a great grudge against Germany.
Although tens of thousands of people have joined Germany one after another, it is only a very tiny part compared with hundreds of thousands, millions of Germans, and after wasting a lot of things, and finally nothing has been gained, Germany finally let go of the idea of Belgium and sent these people directly to China, so that they can work harder to create benefits for Germany.
It is okay to have no grudges with Germany, what Germany values most is Austria-Hungary, and Austria-Hungary itself is in the same vein as Germany, when Prussia did not unify Germany, and Wilhelm was only the king of Prussia, not the emperor of Germany, to a certain extent, the Kingdom of Prussia and the whole of Germany were under the supervision and rule of Austria-Hungary, and therefore, near the border between Germany and Austria-Hungary, and even within Austria-Hungary, there were a large number of German-speaking, German-inclined nationalities, The number of this part is quite large.
