After the end of the war, countries began to focus on developing their economies and improving people's livelihoods. The plundering of the defeated country by the victorious Guotong Guò had enough money to develop the domestic economy. And the defeated country, the original land was beaten into ruins, and a large amount of war reparations were plundered, which undoubtedly made the situation worse.

After the New Year, the Cabinet of the Chinese Empire announced a new five-year plan. During these five years, the key work of the imperial cabinet was mainly divided into one aspect: first, further immigration to overseas, especially the population of the Loess Plateau, to re-emigrate overseas to protect the water and soil of this place. At the same time, large-scale immigration to overseas can also reduce the contradiction of more people and less land at home.

The second is to speed up the process of urbanization, and the development of industry and commerce requires a large number of laborers. The peasants, who were bound to the land, were able to move into the cities to work as workers, which not only improved their living standards, but also accelerated the industrial development of the empire.

At the same time, in order to improve the development of agriculture. Small-scale farms are widely used for production, and mechanized farming is widely promoted. After the end of the war, the military of the empire no longer required so much steel, and agricultural machinery could begin to be fully promoted.

At this stage, the main direction of industrial development of the empire is still heavy industry. Iron and steel, shipbuilding, chemical industry and automobile manufacturing will be the focus of development. Although the empire is now the world's largest steel producer. However, the annual consumption is also the first in the world. In particular, in order to improve the Empire's communications to Eastern Europe, to ensure the subsequent large-scale migration and the deployment of troops in wartime, the railroad from the hinterland of the Empire to Eastern Europe needed to be built, and at least a four-line railway. If you can, you can even expand it to six or even eight lines. In this case, the capacity will be greatly increased. The empire and Eastern Europe will also be more closely connected.

Large-scale migration to the overseas market. The people of the empire have spread to all parts of the world. It is inevitable to avoid someone from rebelling because the emperor is far away from the sky, and establish good transportation. That's very necessary. In that case, even if something like that happens. The Imperial army was also able to suppress it as soon as possible to avoid the expansion of the situation.

"Your Majesty, this is the next five-year plan drawn up by the Cabinet. Heavy industry is still the focus of our development, and light industry continues to rely on private capital to complete it. Prime Minister Lin Zihao sent the five-year development plan drawn up by the cabinet to Long Yufei.

Long Yufei opened the plan and read it carefully. Develop industry, improve people's livelihood, and develop overseas. Emphasis on education. These were the basic national policies of the empire for a long time to come. The strength of the empire is inseparable from these aspects. In the past ten years, the empire has also come over like this. It was precisely because of this direction of development that the empire was able to develop rapidly, replacing Britain as the world hegemon.

"I have two demands, first, the issue of education cannot be relaxed, and the future country needs young people with knowledge to build. Second, the auto industry needs government support. In addition to several state-owned automobile factories, joint ventures with private capital can be adopted. Build more car factories. The state contributes technology, and private businessmen contribute capital. In this way, the automobile industry can develop more rapidly. I hope. Within ten years, all middle-class families in the empire will be able to own a car! Long Yufei said. Before the war, cars and trucks were developed. However, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Empire* army, most of these cars and trucks were delivered to the military to transport supplies and tow artillery. The artillery units of the empire have basically replaced mules and horses with cars. The military hopes to further strengthen the use of automobiles in the military. So next, the demand for cars will be even higher.

"Your Majesty, if you want to develop automotive technology with private capital. Will this lead to the leak of zhì technology! For example, it is much easier for our hostile countries to steal these technologies. Lin Zihao was a little worried. Germany, in particular, has a very high level of industry. If you master the manufacturing technology of automobiles, you will inevitably imitate them immediately. Once the Germans were also heavily equipped with automobiles. For the Empire, this is not a good thing.

"We have registered a patent in Germany, and as long as the Germans still want to save face, then they will not openly copy it. Even if they succeed, it won't affect us too much. After mass production transformation and technology improvement, the cost of our cars has been greatly reduced, if they dare to imitate, they can be squeezed with cost advantages. In addition, there is a great demand for oil in automobiles. The main oil-producing area now is the South Seas of the Empire. Other oil-rich regions were also largely under the control of the Empire. Even if the Germans were equipped with a large number of cars, if there was not enough oil, these cars would turn into a pile of scrap metal. I hope that the Germans will promote the car in the army in large numbers! Long Yufei said with a smile.

Lin Zihao also laughed, and he immediately figured this out. If the Germans purchased a large number of cars to replace mules and horses, it would not only consume a lot of money, but also leave the Reich with a way to sanction them. As long as the Reich forbade the export of oil to Germany, then the cars of the Germans would be scrap metal. When the time comes, they not only consume a lot of money, but also delay time. After the elimination of mules and horses, it was not so easy for the Germans to find so many mules and horses for the army again. It was foreseeable that the army of the Germans would lose its ability to maneuver. And the army of the empire can take the opportunity to crush them.

"Your Majesty, you are so clever, the Germans are very likely to be fooled. When the time comes, it will be even easier for us to defeat them! Lin Zihao said excitedly. As the Prime Minister of the Reich, he certainly knew that there would inevitably be a war between the Chinese Empire and Germany. And the outcome of this war is also related to the fate of the two countries. The Chinese Empire, which had finally gained world hegemony, would certainly not give up hegemony lightly. As a result, Germany became the greatest threat to the Chinese Empire.

"The Germans brought it upon themselves, and if they hadn't stolen the technology of the Reich, it wouldn't have happened. However, I don't think the Germans will be so self-conscious. Long Yufei could almost conclude that once the empire developed the automobile industry on a large scale, the Germans would definitely follow. However, oil will be a rope around the necks of the Germans. The Reich could use this rope to strangle the Germans to death.

Long Yufei is familiar with the history, whether it is World War I or World War II, the Germans are short of oil. Without oil, the steel chariots of the Germans would not have been able to move, leading them to a crushing defeat on the battlefield. Long Yufei could almost foresee that the same scene would happen in this time and space. After all, for these cars, and the combat vehicles that developed from them, the Germans will definitely not give up. After all, once the imperial army carried out large-scale mechanized development, once the Germans fell behind, it would still be a dead end in the face of the imperial army.

"In addition, the extraction and smelting of oil should also be accelerated, and once we fully liberalize the automobile industry, the demand for oil in the empire will increase explosively. The Cabinet must be able to make good judgments in this regard. Long Yufei said. He doesn't want people to buy cars without being able to buy gas, which would definitely be a huge blow to the auto industry.

"Yes, Your Majesty! The Cabinet has decided to expand the oil fields in the South Seas. In addition, oil fields on the islands of Java and Sumatra have also been explored, and it is expected that oil will be available to the country by the end of this year. Lin Zihao said.

Long Yufei nodded: "However, this is far from enough. The oil needed by the Empire* army alone is an astronomical amount, not to mention the needs of the people. The army's cars, trucks, and even tanks and armored vehicles that will equip the troops in the future are all big fuel guzzlers. The Navy's warships have all replaced coal-fired boilers with oil-fired boilers. Oil-fired boilers were much more efficient than coal-fired boilers, which allowed the Empire's naval warships to be quite a bit faster. The Air Force's warplanes also need oil. So, the further back you go, the greater the need for oil in the empire! ”

Long Yufei hopes that the cabinet will pay attention to this issue and avoid an oil shortage at that time.

"Yes, Your Majesty! However, it also takes time to explore new oil fields. Lin Zihao said. After all, oil is buried in the ground and needs to be drilled to be sure.

"Did the oil exploration team we sent to the Persian Gulf make any discoveries?" Long Yufei asked. With this marriage between the Empire and the Ottoman Turkish Empire, both the Persian Gulf coast and Iraq became the Empire's overseas territories. Then, the oil here has also become a resource owned by the empire.

"There is no news yet. However, if we find oil here, will the Ottoman Turkish Empire have an opinion on this? Lin Zihao was a little worried. Previously, the Ottoman Turkish Empire had treated the Persian Gulf and Iraq as barren lands and transferred them to the empire at a very low price. Once oil is discovered, the value of the place changes dramatically. When the time comes, the Ottoman Turkish Empire will definitely regret it.

"Humph! As long as they dare to come. The army of the empire is not vegetarian either! A murderous intent flashed in Long Yufei's eyes. For the sake of oil, the Empire doesn't mind another large-scale war.

With the guarantee of abundant oil resources, the development of the empire's automobile industry will be like a tiger. (To be continued)
