Chapter 981: Indian Raiders (Part II)
Wang Guorui knows very well that this India is a very important place in the future, and it is an important major grain producing area. Even in later generations, India has a population of more than one billion, but they are still a net exporter of grain! The population of 1.3 billion is almost catching up with China, but there is still enough food to eat and export, which is too good. China has a large amount of land, but very little arable land, even less than India. If we talk about arable land alone, India has more arable land than China. On the contrary, China's arable land is decreasing, which is simply an unfortunate result.
However, Wang Guorui knows that the reduction of cultivated land is actually a contradiction in the development of industry and agriculture. Britain has also had sheep eating people, which is actually the gap between industrial development and agricultural maintenance, and one of the two must be chosen. However, the reduction of arable land will definitely be a big problem when developing industry, and this cannot be effectively solved. In later generations, China will not be able to effectively secure arable land because it is surrounded by enemies, so they will definitely not be able to obtain enough food.
In Wang Guorui's eyes, this India is the huge granary of China in the future, almost no less than China's northeast region. Although the black soil in Northeast China is very rich, there is also an important problem, that is, the dimension is too cold, and the Northeast region can often only grow one season of rice, although the quality of one season of rice looks good, it is good rice. However, in the face of population pressure, these grains belong to the middle class and above. It's like the Northeast rice of later generations, which is actually high-grade rice, and ordinary people generally can't eat it.
What can really fill the stomach and ensure that people do not starve to death is the kind of hybrid rice that does not eat too well. Although many people have slammed this hybrid rice for not having enough impact, or for having a bad taste. But it is he who has fed countless people and fed nearly 1.3 billion Chinese.
Some people have a few dollars, and they start to eat enough and scold the cook, who made you not starve to death back then. When you have money, why don't you eat minced meat, saying that hybrid rice and multi-season rice taste bad and have no nutrition. People are going to starve to death, and they still talk about nutrition?
Wang Guorui attaches great importance to this India because although China's granary is too small after all. The Tohoku region has just entered the development stage, and it is impossible to succeed in developing it in decades. It takes decades to really mature farming, otherwise many people really think that they can run away casually, and then find a place to open up wasteland and farm, and then hunt for a living? Hunting and clearing the land is not so easy and takes a lot of time. Within a few years, a piece of wasteland could not really be cultivated, and by that time it would have starved to death. Therefore, many imperial courts in ancient times had a lot of subsidies for land reclamation, and the ancients understood that only many later generations took it for granted that it was easy to open up wasteland and it was easy to get hungry when hunting.
On the contrary, India is a mature grain producing area, this India is a very mature grain producing area, and the Indians have helped to open up the land and cultivate it, and it is a mature place. So if this place is not occupied, how long will it wait? It is necessary to go to the wasteland by yourself, but do you not do it when you look at such a piece of fat? It is not for nothing that the British call this India the jewel in the Queen's crown, and the grain production is so high that it can feed almost the entire British mainland. With India, food is basically not a problem for the British, so they don't lose India wherever they lose. Food security has been a great priority for all countries since ancient times, even if Britain is currently very industrialized.
"Your Majesty, at present, we have this Nanyang, isn't it enough?" Liu Feng asked.
However, Wang Guorui asked rhetorically: "Who dislikes having more land?" ”
Liu Feng was speechless and asked a very stupid question himself.
"However, you may not know about the Nanyang region. In fact, although there are more metal deposits in the Nanyang region, the only suitable arable land in the Nanyang region is Java Island. This Java island has fertile land, abundant grain production, and a lot of mineral deposits. Unfortunately, the biggest disadvantage is that the volcanic earthquakes on Java Island are too frequent, and it is a place where tectonic plates meet, so it is too dangerous. So, it's a chicken rib, and if it's not a last resort, I don't want to go here to develop. Wang Guorui said.
According to Wang Guorui's investigation, many places in this Nanyang region are not suitable for real farmland. According to the situation in the South Seas, perhaps in the Borneo region, that is, the original Kalimantan Island, only the Lanfang area is more suitable for farming, while the other areas of Central Kalimantan are actually not suitable for farming, and they are mainly mountainous. The real most fertile place in the South Seas is actually the Java Island region, which is the real fertile place. But there's a reason it's fertile, and the reason it's fertile is because it's at the intersection of tectonic plates, and there are a lot of volcanic earthquakes. Many volcanoes emit ash from volcanoes, and volcanic eruptions have a great effect on the surrounding land. Around volcanoes, the land is often very fertile, and there are a lot of nutrients and various things in these volcanic ash.
Therefore, volcanoes are often more fertile in many places, which is the reason why the Java region is fertile. However, this is fertile, Wang Guorui feels obviously a little chicken. At present, the Chinese population is 400 million, and the population pressure of 400 million people is not too huge at present. In this situation of low population pressure, there is no need to risk these lands. This volcanic eruption is not a joke, especially in this era, once the volcano is about to erupt, the local people are likely to have no time to evacuate, and in the end there will be heavy casualties.
If the future could use airplanes, all kinds of fast vehicles, trucks, trains, and so on. But now there are not so many train networks, and even airplanes are just a high-end toy, and they don't even have actual combat value, let alone transportation.
This India naturally fell into the eyes of Wang Guorui, this India has fertile land, and there is much more arable land than China. Can this not make Wang Guorui's eyes red? At present, India is the territory of the British, and Wang Guorui is still counting on the British and the Germans to fight!
If the British did not fight with the Germans, then the orders of the British and the Germans would not come to China. Wang Guorui is currently developing his own industry, and the speed must be very slow. Wang Guorui is hoping that the British and the Germans will fight, so that both sides will come together to place orders, stimulate China's industrial development, let China's industry quickly get stimulating development, and finally truly become an industrial country. In this world war, there were a lot of orders from various countries, and the Americans had a lot of money in their original history. Japan's export industry, even if it is only a small share of industrial products, has stabilized their position as an industrial country.
Now Wang Guorui has abolished Japan and made the Americans half-dead, so that when the world war comes, the British and Germans can only place orders with him, so that Wang Guorui can make those British spit out what they should have eaten in the past. Whoever gives more benefits will also buy shares for whomever Wang Guorui gives. When the time comes, they will fight on their own, and Wang Guorui can sit next to him and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Therefore, although Wang Guorui is very greedy for India at present, he will not attack immediately. Because if India is really moved, then the British will definitely go to war. In India, there were many British merchants who colonized there, and they had access to resources and markets. Although the Indian market is not as large as China's, it is definitely not large. Moreover, in terms of raw material supply, it is far more than China, so once China moves India, then no matter how good-tempered Britain is, if they don't want to start a war with China, they will choose to be forced to fight.
At that time, once the British and China start fighting, the international situation will also change. At that time, the First World War, maybe China and Britain were fighting, it was very uninteresting. Although Wang Guorui wanted to profit from the First World War, it did not mean that he wanted to be involved in the world war. What he has to do is collect money to make orders, and then finally go to the army to collect the profits. It's not that the first wave will go out to fight and sacrifice their lives, and when the time comes, not only will they not make money, but they will lose money by arming their own troops!
"Your Majesty, then we'll go and prepare right away! We don't have any relevant experience in setting up the India Bureau! We didn't know much about this India before, and we probably need a lot of money to do the basic work, so that we can collect enough information! Liu Feng said.
"Of course, there are still relevant funds, if you want to let the horses run, then I will also let the horses eat grass! So, there is funding, and you can rest assured of this. And this India is a huge granary for our future, and the Indian Asan is very well controlled, so it is simply the best slave born in nature. So if we don't exploit them, then they're all the best. Indian A-San is better to rule than us Chinese, their culture lacks the spirit of resistance at all, and they are not motivated at all, so we let it go, and we are committing crimes against our descendants. When the time comes, they will be fat pigs like us, and whenever their population increases, they will also transfer the population through various methods to us as workers. These Ah San are so easy to clean up, they are simply the best material for being a slave. When the time comes, they will definitely be very loyal to you, don't worry too much. Even if it were me, I would not be willing to get rid of Hinduism, but they would just continue to plague the Indians. In this way, I can rule India well and then gain a stable rule.
