Chapter 145: The World (4)

"Don't miss the opportunity, never lose it! Siberia! Siberia! Zhong Xiahuo knocked on the table.

"With war in mind, are we here just to fight?" The Minister of Culture and Education, Luo Sulan, also stood up against him.

"We're here to conquer the world! Is there something wrong? ”

"Now you can't conquer the World Realm, no one can conquer the World Realm." Hook said unhurriedly.

"A country where half of its citizens are illiterate will never be able to conquer this world." Russell Lan said.

"After 14 years of reform, half of the people are illiterate, how did you, the Minister of Culture and Education, become a minister!" Zhong Xia turned the spearhead angrily.

"All the money has been used to fight, what kind of education is there to do!" Russolan showed no weakness.

"That's enough, that's it."

The tiger let out a majestic moan.

There was silence for a while.

"Now is not the time to attack each other, bring everyone here from their respective posts, in order to draw up a general plan for the development of the empire in the next ten years, Yang Zhengjin just said the three paths of industrialization, which is very reasonable, and can be discussed on this, and irrelevant topics will be put aside for the first time."

After Liu Yun finished speaking slowly, he stared at Zhong Xiahuo sternly, Zhong Xiahuo suddenly softened, and hung his head like a puppy after being scolded by his master-Liu Yun knew in his heart that Zhong Xiahuo would never become a dog, he was an undomesticated wolf from the wilderness, not only biting people, but also eating people......

"I also agree with Yang Zhengjin's proposal, and I would like to clarify my views on this issue." Zhang Zhigao cautiously appeared, "Today's world has been carved up by the great powers, each with its own exclusive territory and sphere of power, and any attempt to change the status quo is in danger of triggering war. As our national strength is weak, we lag behind the great powers in industry and education, and the key equipment for developing industry is controlled by others, so it is unwise to openly confront the great powers. ”

Zhong Xiahuo's ally Zhang Yaoqian cautiously countered: "How to solve the funds needed for industrialization?" Could it be that we should take the third path mentioned by Yang Zhengjin and accumulate simply by squeezing the people? ”

Liu Bailiang also came out to wipe Zhong Xiahuo's buttocks: "We do need colonies that can transfer domestic contradictions, what Lao Zhong said just now is a bit excessive, but there should be no problem with the main idea, the empire needs to expand, let those backward regions share the cost of our industrialization, and there is nothing wrong with taking the second way of the Japanese style." ”

Zhang Zhigao calmly accepted: "At that time, Japan had a weakened China around it that could be slaughtered slowly, China was too big, and it was not enough to slaughter the whole of Asia to the point of Japan." ”

"We already have North Korea and Japan to slaughter." Niu Jin added.

"A drop in the bucket." Zhang Yaoqian was not convinced.

"Better than nothing." Niu Jin ignored.

"At the very least, we must also take all of Asia." Zhang Yaoqian said.

Liu Bailiang followed closely behind and dropped the bomb: "I suggest that we unite with Germany and the United States to divide the world, we will rule all of Asia, let Germany rule Europe and Africa, the United States will rule the Americas and Oceania, and eradicate Britain, France, and Russia from the face of the earth." ”

"Ridiculous." Zhang Zhigao was disdainful.

"Makes sense." Liang Tianhe, commander of the Northeast Military Region and commander of the Chita Military Administration, suddenly said that no one could take his speech lightly, and that the army under his command now accounts for almost half of the country's troops.

"Defeating razing with razing, dividing and disintegrating, and breaking each one is in line with the truth of the art of war, and you can give it a try." Wang Zhi, former president of Lu University and current commander of the South China Military Region, said with eagle-like eyes.

"Now is the time to do it!" Zhong Xiahuo said.

"Liu Bailiang's opinion deserves attention." Zhang Yaoqian said.

One general, four generals, and nearly half of the old lineage temporarily stood in the same camp.

Hooke struck the head: "That is something that can only be thought of after the completion of industrialization, otherwise even if they succeed by chance, they will either become the object of virtue or become their semi-colonies." It's a simple question, if all the machines we use to produce guns and cannons come from abroad, what qualifications do we have to sit on an equal footing with virtue and divide the world? ”

"We have infinite manpower and supreme spiritual power!" Zhong Xiahuo sang in a high voice.

"We have an infinite number of illiterates and hooligans." Russell Lan scoffed.

"Ignorant little woman."

"Crazy fascists."

"What's wrong with fascism, without fascism, can Japan and Germany have such a glorious history?"

"It's brilliant enough, especially those two mushroom clouds in Japan, which are so brilliant that they can't be saved."

"It's here again, if you want to quarrel, you have to go out and quarrel!" Liu Yun played 80 boards each.

The awkward silence, the people who were scolded had their own indignation, the women's faces were pink, and the men's muscles were skyrocketing.

"Tian Zhenghong, you are a genuine economist, how can you solve the problem of funding for industrialization?" Liu Yundian asked.

Tian Zhenghong made his horse face: "Generally speaking, there are three sources of funds for the industrialization of rising countries: one is the export of low-profit raw materials, semi-finished products, handicraft products and low-tech light industrial products; the second is to restrict national consumption from self-accumulation; The third is the expropriation of colonies and semi-colonies. For example, selling tea and buying machinery, selling more than ten or twenty boats of tea can buy a boatload of machinery, knowing that the machine is expensive, but you still have to grit your teeth to buy it, who says you don't have it? ”

"What about the accumulation of the country? Why is it not effective? Workers' wages have been kept very low, right? Liu Yun asked again.

"First of all, those capitalists are only willing to invest their funds in low-tech industries that can achieve maximum profits as soon as possible, and the investment in high-tech heavy industries is large, the results are slow, and the risks are high, and the state does everything possible to guide them, and there are still very few private capitals operating high-tech industries, and the heavy industry is basically supported by the government. Secondly, most of the capitalists are relatively backward in concept, and most of the profits realized are used to purchase real estate and luxury consumption, and the current European trend is prosperous, and the annual import of European furniture alone is worth several million yuan, and the blood and sweat squeezed out of the workers are transferred to the mouths of foreigners. Thirdly, tariffs are too low, there are not enough restrictions on foreign goods and capital, there is not enough protection for domestic industry and capital, and the profits of domestic industry and capital are limited due to competition from foreign goods and capital. Fourth, the old landlord clique headed by the imperial family controlled more than 30% of the country's agriculture, and the brutal expropriation led to extreme poverty in part of the countryside, leaving no surplus products for the consumption of industrial goods, and therefore unable to extract industrial profits from these peasants. ”

"The goal of the capitalists is to maximize profits, and it is pointless to plead with them to invest in heavy industry under the banner of national righteousness, unless they give the industries that the country has built up to the chaebol, as Japan did." Niu Jin added.

"The chaebols should be killed." Zhong Xiahuo muttered quietly.

"The factories of the country must not be given to the chaebol in vain!" Liu Yun raised his voice, "Is there a suitable solution to the above problems?" ”

Tian Zhenghong continued to do his duty as an economist: "To solve the first problem, it is necessary to use strong financial means, specifically, to nationalize the banks, or to put the private banks of the whole country under strict control by the state, so that the state can regulate the willingness of capitalists to invest, and capitalists who invest in high-tech and heavy industries will receive full financial support, so as to give full play to our advantages in terms of technological stock and accelerate the development of heavy industry." The key to solving the second and third problems is to raise tariffs and restrict foreign capital; all industrial products that we can produce must be forbidden to enter through tariff barriers, machinery and equipment that cannot be produced for the time being are partially or completely exempted from import duties, and heavy taxes on foreign luxury goods must be levied at sky-high prices, so that the prices will be raised to the point that the vast majority of capitalists cannot afford them, and at the same time the development of relatively cheap luxury goods industries in the country must be encouraged. The problem of capitalists spending large amounts of money on real estate can be alleviated by raising the real estate transaction tax and inheritance tax. As for the solution of the fourth problem......"

"Go on." Liu Yun stared at Tian Zhenghong intently.

"Either abolish the land concessions of the imperial family, or use strong means to completely eradicate the power of the imperial family and the old landlords who relied on the imperial family."

"The two are actually the same way, and abolishing privileges is tantamount to taking their lives, and they will definitely fight back." Wen Yi added.

"I wish they were fighting back." Zhong Xiahuo rubbed his hands excitedly.

"Have you written it all down?" Liu Yun reminded Yang Zhengjin beside him, and Yang Zhengjin said that this leader's shield also bears the heavy responsibility of a clerk.

"Excuse me......" Zhong Xiahuo said honestly, raising his hand like a primary school student.

"Say it."

With the approval of the leader, Zhong Xiahuo put down his hand.

"May I ask you, Mr. Tian, you just mentioned the three sources of funding for industrialization, the first two have already been explained, I wonder if you have considered the third item, that is, the way to obtain funds for the colonies?"

Zhong Xiahuo looked surprisingly elegant this time, and used an honorific like "you" for the first time.

"General Zhong asked a good question, I was about to talk about it. As a matter of fact, Korea is already a colony of our country, and Japan is becoming a semi-colony of our country. Since China wants to concentrate on the development of heavy industry, there will inevitably be some deficiencies in other aspects, and this aspect can be made up by the Asahi to make up for it, through the East Asian Customs Union and the free trade area, with China's advantages in capital and technology, to curb the development of Asahi heavy industry, and to make Asahi non-heavy industrialization, and at the same time, with capital and related technology as the guide, to build Asahi into an economic vassal dominated by agriculture, processing industry, and low-tech light industry, mainly relying on the support of China's capital and technology, that is, the so-called industrial colony. ”
