Chapter 341: Population Competition
If anyone accuses the Chinese empire of encroaching on East Asia through population migration, the imperial central government will definitely deny it in a serious way, and condemn it severely, even if it is true.
In the past 30 years, the empire has maintained the three basic national policies of moderation, reformism, and restorationism, that is, "impartiality to Chinese and Western civilizations and various other ideas and policies, taking what is good and rejecting what is bad"; The essence of reformism lies in first insisting that the Chinese nation is the best nation in the world and that it is a nation that can continue to make progress, and on this basis, it will constantly absorb advanced culture and customs, further improve the nation, and make it even more excellent, excellent enough to rule the world. The essence of republicism is to revive the Chinese nation and the empire, make it rise again, re-lead Asia, promote the common progress of the empire and Asia, and make Asia the center of the world.
These are the three basic national policies of the Empire.
The Reich actually had ethnography and social Darwinism, especially in the upper echelons of imperial politics, but it was relatively more subtle and less prominent than in Germany and Germany.
In their plan to make Asia the center of the world, the upper echelons of the empire, including Emperor Song Biao, did not believe that the Thais, Malays, Indonesians, and Vietnamese were capable of competing with the Europeans and Americans.
In the thinking of the Empire's top brass, and indeed of society as a whole, it is only the Chinese themselves who can ultimately support Asia, which has been the dominant factor in the Empire's continued population expansion policy over the past three decades.
For example, in Australia, in 1910, there were less than 30,000 Chinese in Australia, and by 1941, the number of Chinese in Australia had exceeded 5 million, accounting for 2/5 of the total population, of which about 70% were illegal immigrants. Behind the surge of Chinese in Australia is actually the support of the central political axe of the empire, and the reason why the empire did this is precisely because the pressure of the domestic population is too great, and it must adopt radical foreign immigration, otherwise it can only take the decisive battle between China and Britain to directly occupy Australia.
In the past two years, under the deterrence of war, Australia and the empire have basically reached an agreement that Australia will completely abandon any restrictions on Chinese immigration, and Australia will be forced to recognize that its financial, economic, industrial and commercial and mineral resources are basically controlled by Chinese capital and Chinese.
Australia is not capable of countering this, but you can imagine how helpless Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, Brunei, Malaya, Indonesia and other countries and regions are.
This is a real population war.
In the thinking of the upper echelons of the empire, they were filling the void of those countries that lacked competitiveness with a highly qualified population, making it a high-quality country.
It's a real demographic competition.
In the course of the gradual universalization of 12-year compulsory education in the past 30 years, the immigrants of the empire have generally received a modern national education, not only loyal to the country, with a clear modern concept of nation and state, but also with modern scientific knowledge and professional skills, as well as a richer vision, more diligent, more united, and more ambitious, and they have engaged in population competition in various parts of East Asia, taking better resources, even more and better women, and having more children, Continue to provide children with better access to education and safer conditions for their upbringing.
In the past 30 years, the economies of Thailand, Myanmar and Nanyang have developed rapidly, and the contribution of the Chinese is the largest, in the past 30 years, in the three western provinces, the four northern provinces, in the Far East, Novosibirsk, in Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Chinese businessmen are everywhere, and every place contains gold treasures for the Chinese, waiting for them to develop.
In Yangon, in Mawlamyine, in Mergui, in Bangkok, in Phnom Penh, in Saigon, in Bandar Seri Begawan, in Kuching, in Singapore...... The Chinese have an absolute advantage, controlling the economy and almost all industries.
Behind all this, both the Imperial Central Political Axe and the Central Foreign Ministry are behind the scenes, because it is indeed a competition of population and ethnicity.
No one would admit it, even if it was an indisputable fact.
Whether the other side wants to or not, as long as the other side is not capable of challenging the Imperial Wehrmacht, it must accept this cruel fact and can only find self-comfort in this cruel reality.
The empire, of course, will not be satisfied with the status quo.
While the Imperial [***] Ministry was preparing for war against Germany in secret, in Winston. In mid-February 1941, two months after Prime Minister Churchill's visit to China and the signing of more secret agreements, Emperor Song Biao convened a special closed-door meeting at Jinghu Garden in Chengde Summer Resort.
Each one of them is the most powerful person in the empire.
This conference is a special organization, and for all of us, it has largely not really existed.
This is the Anglican Church.
Many years later, if someone talks about the Anglican Church, it will think that it is just a conspiracy theory, but it does really exist, and it has been secretly playing a role in the world, and it has only one goal, that is, to end the Anglo-Saxon center and dominance, and make the Chinese nation the best nation.
In this sense, the Anglican Church is not an evil and invisible organization, and among its many members are some of the most famous educators of the Empire today, who are actively involved in education and social reform, as well as the most famous media moguls in the Empire, and of course, there are some people who are not suitable for publication.
The emperor had just come here for a vacation, and Zhang Hongsheng, the president of the General Association of Chinese Entrepreneurs and the general director of the Nanyang Foundation, organized a joint seminar of the world's Chinese businessmen's industry, and with the support of the royal family, held such a meeting in the summer resort of Chengde.
It seems like that's it.
Prime Minister Gu Weijun did not come, not even Vice Minister Liao Zhongkai and Finance Minister Chen Jin, the top cabinet official who came here was Foreign Minister Guo Taiqi, and the people who came here to attend the meeting on behalf of the military department were Chen Jiliang and Zhang Xiaohuai, as well as some senior generals who retired very early.
There are many people from the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association, all of whom are branch presidents of Chinese chambers of commerce in various places, and everyone gathers together to discuss some things secretly behind closed doors every day.
Several of the Empire's major intelligence chiefs were present, but it was the Episcopal Secret Team that was really responsible for local security and secrecy.
If you add Emperor Song Biao, there are 34 people in total, who are the most important members of the Anglican Church, and everyone is gathered here today because the previous goal has been basically achieved, and now we have to discuss the next goal.
In the past, the goal was to drive Britain out of Southeast Asia, adopt a strategy of immigration competition to control Southeast Asia, and enhance the overall strength of East Asia.
In recent years, the pace of the empire's outward promotion of immigration has been more intense, the overall domestic population data is not as good as in the past, and the problem of aging has begun to take shape, although it is not serious, but the current situation of domestic enterprises beginning to gradually lack sufficient labor force is also becoming more and more obvious, and how to deal with this is also a problem to consider.
The empire's labor resources have been very abundant in the past 30 years, and it is only in the last two years that the labor shortage has gradually appeared, which is also a very alarming problem, the empire's current domestic population is 450 million, and the young and middle-aged labor force aged 18-55 accounts for 72%, especially in the case of women's general emancipation, there will be a labor shortage, which is also a shocking thing.
Of course, the war factor was very important, not only the deployment of tens of millions of troops, but also the prosperity of the war.
It can be seen that although the empire has a native population of 450 million, under the premise of full employment and high industrialization, it is not as good as an agricultural country to expand its military strength on a large scale, and it is difficult to further expand its military strength in the future, and the only solution is to send overseas Chinese from East Asia to join the army on a large scale, which may also increase the number of troops by about 4 million.
As the emperor, Song Biao is not suitable to come forward to participate in the talks, all he does is to provide a secret meeting venue, as well as support and control behind the scenes.
He used to like to play chess because of its simplicity, and over the years, he likes to play Go, also because it is simple, simple and clean, and he doesn't need to worry too much.
Chen Jiayou's chess strength is very famous in the inner court, he is known for his fast chess, and the falling pieces are always crackling, and there is no doubt that there are few doubts, but playing chess with the emperor is a reason, and the Song Emperor has always been slow to play chess, not thinking too much, hesitating, but carelessly slow, maybe thinking about other things, thinking about a few minutes and looking back at the chess game at will.
This really makes it much more difficult to play chess with him, neither fast nor too slow, after all, you don't have anything big to think about in your heart, and you have to make a little noise, make a little noise when you press the son, so that the emperor doesn't know where you just fell.
Winning is definitely not going to win, losing can't lose too much, and a draw is the best, which tests the chess strength of the companion even more.
Today's inner court is not as full of masters as in the past, and the masters are like forests, so Chen Jiayou barely has this skill, and when others heard that the emperor was going to play chess, they couldn't wait to give birth to four legs and run away.
In addition to expanding the scale of recruitment among the Chinese in overseas provinces and Southeast Asia, improving the level of agricultural mechanization and supporting the new industrial countries to achieve industrial transfer are also good ways, but how to solve the employment problem of the additional six or seven million people when the war is over is also a difficult problem.
Moreover, as soon as the war is over, the prosperity of the war will disappear, and the extra unemployed population will probably not be a million-level problem.
At that time, I am afraid that 20 million people will be unemployed.
The solution is to continue to export the population to South Asia, squeeze out the living space of other ethnic groups, and promote the urbanization process of South Asia, so that it can accommodate more Chinese population, and to continue to do so, it is necessary to amend the "Nationality Law", shrink the nationality authority of overseas Chinese, and strictly enforce the conditions for naturalization, so that as long as they are Chinese, they can apply for nationality as long as they are Chinese.
After all, the Han Chinese and the Jewish people are not the same.
As a buffer, the Chinese in the application for visa-free and asylum passports, temporary visas, labor visas or have priority, enjoy some special benefits, according to some new proposals, born overseas, only when one of the parents has a nationality can apply for "guaranteed nationality", the so-called "guaranteed nationality" is a new concept, in fact, a quasi-nationality, equivalent to a permanent residence permit, but retain the name of nationality, as long as you return to China to work for more than a certain number of years, you can officially change the nationality.
When both parents are quasi-national, the child can no longer apply for quasi-citizenship, but still enjoy visa benefits.
On this basis, domestic social research and think tank research institutions have also proposed to establish a new international social organization to protect the rights and interests of Chinese people on a global scale in the name of the "World Federation of Chinese", or "World Federation of Chinese Rights and Interests", "World Chinese United Security Association" and other "Chinese Federation" and "World Chinese Association".
Halfway through the chess game, Chen Jiayou has an overall advantage even if he doesn't want to win, he has been conceding chess, but he can't even give up his face without principle, which will make the emperor unhappy.
If the emperor himself does not have the idea of winning, then he cannot lose.
Lieutenant General Chen Jiayou has gone from a first-class chamberlain to today's chief of the inner court, and has served faithfully by the side of Emperor Song for twenty-five years, and has been here for half his life.
Seeing that the emperor's mind was really not on the chess game, Chen Jiayou continued to lose a son of the palace, and took the initiative to ask Emperor Song: "Your Majesty, when do you say that the matter over there in Nanyang can have a decision?" ”
Emperor Song held a few white chess pieces in his hand, and he never fell, in fact, he was also pondering the question asked by Chen Jiayou, he was not in a hurry to answer, but asked Chen Jiayou: "What do you think?" ”
"...... this?" Chen Jiayou didn't know how to answer for a while, and said: "This is not something that the minister should ask, and the minister doesn't dare to make a statement." ”
Emperor Song saw that there was no remedy for this game of chess, so Suo admitted defeat, put the white chess back into the chess box, got up and paced after taking a sip of tea, and thought for a moment before instructing Chen Jiayou: "You say it's okay!" ”
He had been thinking about it for a long time, and was trying to find someone to discuss.
Chen Jiayou thought for a while, and sighed: "We still haven't caught up with the good time, think that when the United States was founded, the Anglos killed tens of millions of local natives in the land of America, and now there is no guilt at all, but it is God's will to be righteous." Spain is not the same in South America, the former minister accompanied His Majesty to South America, and most of the people he saw were white, which shows the weight of the killings back then. Nowadays, it is different, first, the strength of the great powers is almost the same, second, the media is deeply involved in the world, and a slight large-scale conflict is the world's endless coverage, and third, our country has been a country of etiquette since ancient times, and our race is even more of a ceremonial race, how can we do unjustified things? But then again, the people of South China are not wise, and most of them are not civilized races, if our people do not occupy and build them, how can South Asia become a strong land? Therefore, we still have to continue to promote the strategy of immigrant competition, which is a long-term national policy, and in another 30 years, we will have 70% of the population in Nanyang, and Asia will be stronger than Europe and the United States. ”
Emperor Song Biao bowed slightly, and also lit a Yuxi cigar with emotion, and said: "You are telling the truth, but these truths can only be said here by us." Let's put the problem more bluntly and deeply, behind the competition of the world's peoples, all they are pursuing is to occupy a better position and resources, and create better and more opportunities for future generations. Freud said that people have a subconscious, which is the instinct of life, just as mosquitoes are born to suck the blood of humans and animals in order to reproduce, just as mosquitoes are born to know that they must suck the blood of humans and animals in order to reproduce, in fact, not only people have subconscious, but also entire tribes and nations have subconscious, which is a kind of overall social subconscious, a kind of group subconscious. There are many reasons why we are promoting the immigration policy, one is that there is too much population in the country, and there is great pressure on government and employment, which must be the case if we want to be richer per capita; Second, the foundation of the survival of the nation lies in resources, and it is the latent consensus of the nation and society to help the Chinese people become the mainstream of society in foreign countries and occupy foreign resources to reproduce more offspring. If we look at the problem, we are now in the final period of the modern awakening of all the peoples of the world, and we will have at most ten or twenty years left for us, after which the continuation of this large-scale immigration policy may make us the public enemy of Asia. ”
Chen Jiayou agreed: "What the emperor said is very true, and the minister also thinks that we have not had a good time, and it is too late now." The expansion of our clan is the trend of the times, and it is a national policy that must be maintained, and what we need to do now is to make the wrist softer, change according to the situation, change with the situation, and make it easier to implement. ”
These truths, at least in the upper echelons of the empire, are actually a well-known consensus, but sometimes they are more straightforward, and sometimes they are more subtle.
To put it mildly, it is now a matter of grabbing other people's fields, other people's mines, and other people's cities to carry out a broader urbanization process in East Asia.
Urbanization is an unlimited market opportunity, in South Asia to engage in the urbanization process of Chinese, in this process, finance, machinery, electronics, electrical, home appliances, food, chemicals, shipbuilding, metallurgy, textiles, construction, ...... Almost all industries can get more market space, sell more goods, and bring more returns.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if this factory is built in Indonesia, most of the workers employed are Chinese, the company's credit funds come from the mainland, its equipment comes from China, the upstream enterprises that provide financial services and commodity supporting facilities are still Chinese-funded enterprises, and the downstream commercial shops are also Chinese-funded and Chinese-based, what is the difference between this and opening in China, the only difference is that the tax is handed over to the Nanyang countries.
Taking Indonesia as an example, after the occupation of the Netherlands by Germany, the provisional political axe organized by Indonesia immediately announced the dissolution of the colonial trusteeship relationship with the Netherlands and officially read the power with the support of the Asian League.
If we can continue to push about 20 million immigrants to Southeast Asia in the next ten years, and continue to support these immigrants to establish themselves in the local area and occupy the upper reaches of the local resources and social classes, the Empire's leadership in Asia will never be overthrown in ten years.
The implementation of such a policy during this period is indeed very advantageous, even for the country, the disadvantages of this policy are very few, because now subject to the restrictions of medical conditions, the average life expectancy of the population is not very high, so the problem of aging is not serious.
If it is limited by the standard of 7%, the current population over 60 years old in the empire accounts for 3% of the total population, but the group between 50 and 60 years old is close to 5%, and the largest proportion of the current population is the group born between 1911 and 1921, that is, the group of imperial baby boomers between the ages of 20 and 30, because it is calculated from the first year of the empire Shenwu, it is also called the first year baby boom.
Since the beginning of the Third Five-Year Plan, the empire began to consciously control the fertility problem of the population, and the birth rate has been controlled to a certain extent, but with the improvement of medical conditions and the expansion of the population base, the new population has not decreased too much.
At present, in Southeast Asia, the Chinese population aged 20-30 is also the largest, accounting for the highest proportion of overseas Chinese.
It is estimated that by about 1952, the native population of the empire will increase to 500 million, driven by the baby boom of the first year, and the total number of overseas Chinese may reach 175 million. It is estimated that by 1980, the native population of the empire will gradually grow to 700 million, and the number of overseas Chinese will increase to 350 million, after which the native population of the empire will show a stable situation, and the number of overseas Chinese may increase in the long term, and may exceed the total native population in 2010.
A population study report conducted by the Central Academy of Social Sciences and the Central Policy Research Bureau believes that with the current territory and national geography of the empire, a population of 8-1 billion is the most reasonable, and the highest peak index is controlled at 750 million, which will leave a more relaxed space for development.
From this situation, there is no problem for the empire not to promote the immigration policy now, after all, the current territory is indeed very vast, but if you wait a few more decades, with the gradual development of modern nationalist ideas in Southeast Asia, it will be very difficult for the empire to continue to promote immigration on a large scale, and with the further development of the empire's economy, the further back it is, the less incentive for the people to emigrate outward.
There is also a very important long-term consideration here, that is, there are about 700 million Chinese in China, and the number abroad is roughly the same, there are nearly 1.5 billion Chinese in the world, and half of them are using overseas space to grow, but it is just squeezing the development space of other nationalities, and many outstanding talents in this part of the people can also return to China for development.
There is already such a trend, many second-generation Chinese in Thailand and Indonesia, who grew up overseas when they were young, received education in local Chinese schools, and went back to China to study in universities and graduate schools, and about 1/2 of the graduate students will continue to stay in China after graduation.
At present, it is relatively easy to develop overseas, not as fierce as in China, and many large Chinese business consortia that have grown rapidly overseas, such as the four major Indonesian Chinese business families that monopolize the Indonesian economy, have also returned to their homeland to strengthen their investment scale in recent years.
Many Chinese businessmen are like this, which creates a very special kind of Chinese monopoly problem, you have markets like Indonesia, Thailand, it is really difficult for foreign companies to get involved, Malaya and Burma are British colonies, Vietnam is a French colony, the Philippines is an American colony, in fact, the economy of these four regions is under the control of Chinese banks and enterprises.
Considering the pros and cons, it is still very advantageous to continue to steadily export migrants to Southeast Asia.
This is actually a consensus, the empire can also be said to have tasted the sweetness in this regard, now is a historical opportunity, after it is gone, there will be losses in seizing the opportunity, but today you can catch it if you pay losses, and tomorrow you can't catch it no matter how big the loss you want to pay.
You can't say that our country has cultivated so many talents through free national education, and we can't all cheapen Southeast Asian countries, I have to stay at home, and the country's economy can develop faster and its national strength will be stronger.
Yes, this statement is not wrong, but there is no more room for growth in the future.
It is undeniable that in the development of China, especially in the first 20 years and the present stage, the Jewish people have contributed a lot of strength in China, but they are still thinking about the Jews themselves in China.
If China is weak and poor, don't the Jews want to carve out a piece of land on China's borders and establish a state?
If not, where did that puffer fish project come from? Where did the huge loan borrowed from the European and American Jewish consortiums come from in the Russo-Russian War?
Now history has been changed by the Song Emperor, to put it mildly, when it was said that when Ben hit the Northeast, the Jewish consortium in Europe and the United States still contributed money and efforts, what do you think the Jews are good things?
The Song Emperor was adamantly opposed to any form of Jewish restoration in the Middle East, and that certainly had a point.
Jews, you can take advantage of it, if you really treat him as a guest of honor, it will bring disaster to the country and the people, doesn't Emperor Song know that the Jews and the ** party are quite closely connected, and contribute money and efforts?
If the Chinese want to rule the world, then they must have a more long-term grand plan, and pulling a group of Islamic brothers to rule the world is even more problematic, now use you, and wait for Southeast Asia to cultivate into a real Chinese-dominated world, it will be difficult to say in the future.
In the next 15 years, Iran and Saudi Arabia want to make some troubles within the Asian League, but there is no door.
Righteousness is fucking bullshit.
Now it is necessary to engage in national competition, start with a soft knife, and continue to work hard for 10 years to completely lock in Southeast Asia.
Now, whether you are Indonesian, or Malay, Thai, Burmese, you have no way at all, your army is basically Chinese, your political axe is basically Chinese, your prime minister, prime minister, and president are also Chinese, to be clear, it is not the Anglican Church that operates behind the scenes, you have neither an army, nor a political axe, let alone a prime minister or president.
It's not up to you to decide how many people you want to emigrate to China every year.
The army is controlled by the Chinese, the last word here, and other bullshit things will be talked about in twenty years.
Emperor Song is very aware of these things in his heart, he just can't go to the front to preside over the big process of the entire national competition, he can wait here, wait for the Anglican Council to finish the meeting, and wait for the Anglican to secretly continue to cooperate with the central government to do these things.
The game of chess between him and Chen Jiayou will definitely not be finished, so Suo sat in a rattan chair smoking a cigar, drinking a pot of Pu'er tea, and quietly waiting for the meeting to end.
In the evening, when the sun was setting, Zhang Hongsheng, president of the Nanyang Chinese Entrepreneurs Association, accompanied by Chen Jiliang, chief of staff of the Navy, bowed his head cautiously and walked quickly into the summer resort on the shore of Ruyi Lake.
Emperor Song Biao had been waiting for them for several hours, and after seeing them, he invited them to sit down, and took the initiative to ask Zhang Hongsheng: "How is it, is there a result now?" ”
Zhang Hongsheng nodded silently and said: "Back to Your Majesty, there has been a result, or continue to promote the immigration process in Nanyang, and at the same time appropriately speed up the immigration in Australia, South America and Africa, in Africa, our current first choice is Djibouti and some areas in West Africa, in terms of general policy, it is planned to establish the World Chinese Federation this year, headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, Malaya, and now we must strengthen this aspect of work." ”
Emperor Song Biao could roughly understand the intentions of the Anglican Church, because in Malaya, the proportion of Chinese also exceeded 35%, and as long as it continued to expand, it could completely exceed half in the future.
Basically, as long as it reaches 45%, plus economic and military control, the Chinese have a very firm foothold in Malaya, and it is unlikely to be overturned.
As for whether it will be more than half, it doesn't really matter, as long as the Chinese military is ready to suppress any form of rebellion and ethnic civil strife at all costs, there will be no problem.
There are more things that Emperor Song Biao doesn't need to ask too much, whether it is the Anglican Church or the World Chinese Association, what kind of strategy to adopt in this matter is always very fixed, it is nothing more than those means, some can be made public, and some are unseemly.
Emperor Song Biao didn't need to be too involved, even if he was one of the promoters behind the scenes, he just simply instructed Zhang Hongsheng: "Do things well, be cautious, the moral standards of modern civilization just depend on whether you are too excessive, or too arrogant." ”
Zhang Hongsheng nodded again and again, and said, "It will be handled carefully, please rest assured Your Majesty." ”
Emperor Song Biao didn't say anything anymore, got up and instructed Zhang Hongsheng and Chen Jiliang: "It's rare for you to come to the summer resort, just rest here, I will go to North Korea to inspect tomorrow, and go back to rest early." ”
Zhang Hongsheng and Chen Jiliang immediately saluted and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”
Emperor Song Biao casually raised his hand and motioned for them to take care of themselves, and left Ruyi Villa accompanied by Chen Jiayou.
(To be continued)
