Chapter 145: The World (5)

"By the way, what about foreign capital? I don't know about economics, but according to the history of our time and space, foreign capital can be regarded as an important source of funds for the industrialization of later countries. Deng Jian, commander of the Zhili Military Region, asked for the first time.

"Foreign capital can be used, but can not be relied on, transnational capital is not only an economic tool of developed countries but also an important political tool, deep in it will be controlled by other countries, not to mention that foreign capital is chasing short-term profits, and the transnational capital of each country has its own political background, and will never consider the long-term interests of our country, let alone support such a huge country as China to build a complete and advanced large industrial system - that is simply to smash their own jobs."

As soon as Tian Zhenghong finished explaining, Niu Jin added: "At that time, Russia and China did not have much foreign support when they were industrializing, and they mainly relied on their own accumulation...... Hey, this time we need to be able to knock out one or two hundred million pounds from Russia to supplement the military spending. ”

"Don't talk about the impossible." Wen Yi said.

Zhong Xiahuo lit the fire again: "It is far from enough to squeeze Japan and North Korea, and it is only barely enough to swallow the whole of Asia." ”

Hook was another stick: "Can you produce your own advanced machine tool later, now?" Don't even think about it. ”

Luo Sulan followed up and inserted a knife: "And education!" The reform has only been carried out for 14 years, even since 1890, not taking into account the repetition and dropout, the first batch of students who have received a new type of education from the first grade of primary school are now only in the third year of undergraduate, and the current scientific research system is mainly composed of a small number of international students and a large number of accelerated college graduates, the vast majority of whom have not received a complete new education, more than half of them were forced to leave home halfway after the abolition of the imperial examination, the level can be imagined, and it is completely impossible to compare with the complete and mature scientific research system of the developed countries in Europe and the United States. ”

"Two or three people can't develop complex complete sets of equipment, take a battleship boiler as an example, it is impossible for me to complete a full set of drawings of thousands of parts by myself, not to mention the parts trial production and testing, component integration experiments, factory production guidance and many other work after entering the manufacturing stage, as well as factory commissioning, ship loading and operation, integration and improvement after the completion of manufacturing...... If we let our own people do it, we would have died a long time ago! However, there are not enough high-quality scientific research personnel, a group of accelerated junior college students have to teach and work at the same time, and those who have returned from studying abroad are mainly theorists. Jiang Wentao also took the opportunity to complain, it seems that his title of "design maniac" also has the meaning of "being driven crazy" to a greater or lesser extent.

"That's why I say that intellectuals are the most troublesome, if they don't give them freedom, they make trouble, and if they give them freedom, they will quarrel and make mistakes." Zhong Xiahuo took the opportunity to ridicule.

"Dogs are the most obedient, but it's a pity that dogs can't even write." The shells that Rosolan fought back were poisonous and spicy.

Zhong Xiahuo's face was blue, and he was about to have a seizure, when Hu on the side grabbed his sleeve.

"Stop messing around, Captain Liu is staring at you."

The wolf's sharp teeth flashed coldly, and in an instant, they were hidden in their large, hairy, bloody mouths.

"Today's discussion is very meaningful," the leader said, quite summing up, "to remind everyone that if you don't work hard to achieve industrialization, conquer here and conquer there, it's all pipe dreams!" In order to carve up the world with the most powerful force, there must be considerable strength as the backing, what is the core of this strength? It is the machine, the ability to continuously manufacture more advanced machines with machines without restrictions, and with this ability, we can fully release the advanced technology we have brought, and it is possible to turn the whole world into a colony and semi-colony of China. ”

The big wolves and the little wolves have green eyes, and they only pay attention to the last sentence.

"The current international situation is unfavorable to us, and Europe and the United States are showing signs of jointly containing the empire, since we are temporarily powerless to confront, we must fully release goodwill in the international community, shape the peaceful image of the empire, and create a relatively relaxed international environment, so that we can concentrate on rectifying internal affairs, developing education, improving people's livelihood, and building a complete large-scale industrial system. Zhang Zhigao, tell me what are the best ways to improve the international environment? ”

The diplomatic expert in the group is none other than Zhang Zhigao.

"First of all, we must withdraw our troops from Chita in accordance with the New York Peace Treaty in order to demonstrate our basic integrity, and if we find an excuse not to leave, it will not only be a blatant insult to the two great powers that brought about the peace treaty, Britain and the United States, but also that no civilized country will believe in our commitment in the future, and the strategy of destroying and destroying will be difficult to carry out."

"Chita can't be handed over to the Russian Revolutionary Party, this excuse is very strong." Zhang Yao interjected.

Wen Yi sneered: "The Russian Revolution has failed, the funds of the European and American banking groups and the guns of Germany and France have made the Tsar quickly recover, and the military and popular hearts of the Russian Empire are far from being lost, let's not forget that in the history of that time and space, the Russian Empire was overthrown by the revolution after successively conscripting 15 million people into the army, fighting for four years and losing 6 million people - the defeat of the Asian-Russian War was not enough to overturn the rule of the Romanov dynasty for hundreds of years." ”

Zhang Zhigao ignored Zhang Yaoqian's tricks and calmly continued: "Secondly, we should use important figures to visit Europe and the United States frequently, improve the image of the empire among the European and American people, establish close personal relations between the top leaders of the empire and the upper echelons of Europe and the United States, pay special attention to resolving the Kaiser's senseless hostile attitude, and at the same time try our best to repair diplomatic relations with Russia with the starting point of supporting the suppression of the revolution, and strive to eliminate the adverse impact of the Asian-Russian war on the diplomatic situation of the empire." ”

"Third, we should continue to improve Neo-Confucianism and strive to make it the spiritual core of the East Asian Alliance, and the spirit of kingship contained in it should be used as the guiding ideology for diplomatic work. In its specific application, compared with the developed countries of Europe and the United States, it can overlap with their humanitarian spirit and international law system, and compared with the colonial and semi-colonial countries, it can be incarnated into the spirit of national liberation of freedom, equality, and fraternity......"

Zhong Xiahuo interjected: "Can you explain what kind of royal doctrine it is in one sentence, my theoretical level is not high, and I have never understood these gadgets you invented." ”

"It's very simple, benevolence and righteousness in the left hand, guns and cannons in the right hand, standing on the moral high ground to obtain the greatest benefits, does this make you clear?"

Zhong Xiahuo is fine.

"Continuing with the question just now, the last point is that I disagree with the theory of non-heavy industrialization of the DPRK and Japan just put forward by Mr. Tian, and we should uphold the concept of assimilation rather than colonization in the treatment of the DPRK, for more than 30 years after the restoration of Japan and more than 10 years since the enlightenment of Korea, and the increasingly progressive concept of the people, deliberately suppressing the development of its industry will inevitably cause a backlash, and the great powers will have the opportunity to take advantage of the gap to divide and disintegrate the East Asian alliance. In my opinion, the future of Asahi should be to merge with China into a unified East Asian federation, rather than simply becoming a colony and semi-colony of China, where the colonial and semi-colonial people will always have an unquenchable centrifugal force against the colonizers, while the people who have been thoroughly assimilated in the political, economic, and cultural spheres will have a certain centripetal force towards the unified country. ”

"In view of this, I would like to make four points: first, the assimilation of the people, in addition to the various cultural assimilation measures that are being carried out, should stipulate that the rights of the subjects of the Asahi and the Ryukyus should be the same as those of the subjects of the Empire, that the subjects of each country within the alliance could move more freely, that multiple nationalities should be allowed to exist within the alliance, and that the veterans of the Asahi War should enjoy the same preferential reclamation rights as the veterans of the Empire; second, economic assimilation, the establishment of an East Asian Union Industrial Integration Committee to guide the industrial construction of the alliance countries, and organically integrate the economies of the alliance countries; Third, political assimilation, on the basis of the current East Asian Union Constitutional Research Society, will gradually develop in the direction of ASEAN parliaments; Fourth, military assimilation, the establishment of a permanent joint general staff, the frequent conduct of cross-border joint exercises, and the gradual formation of a system of mutual transfer of officers from various countries within the alliance. ”

"Annexation in this way is more poisonous than turning them into colonies...... Admiral Liang Tianhe exclaimed.

Zhong Xiahuo covered his ears and didn't listen.

"Not annexation, but gradual association on a voluntary basis, and eventual assimilation may take hundreds of years or more, but it is not impossible to turn the Union into a federal state or a pluralistic empire in recent decades, provided that the above four articles are actually implemented."

"It's too long, the things of decades and hundreds of years have nothing to do with us, and it only makes sense to realize the dream of conquering the world in our lifetime! What do we know after we die? If it's not to conquer the world, then why are we here for it! ”

Zhong Xiahuo was impassioned, and most of the generals said yes, and even Liu Yun couldn't help but nod his head slightly-pure subconscious performance.

"Speaking of which, the key is that the industrial level is not enough, so if we endure it again, we have endured it for four years to fight Japan, and we have endured it for nine years to fight Russia, is it enough for us to endure ten years this time? Is it okay to get the industry up in 10 years? I think that even if we don't engage in the great powers, the great powers will definitely come to us, and we must be prepared to fight a big war, so in the next 10 years, we must not only develop industry, but also not relax our armaments. I don't know much about foreign affairs, I will only mention one point, Germany and Austria-Hungary can take advantage of it, but we cannot pin all our hopes on them, and what we want can only be fought for with our own hands. ”

Everyone understands that Zhong Xiahuo is skillfully compromising, the situation is not in his favor, and blindly entanglement can only damage himself, not to mention that the leader has made it clear that he does not support the policy of rapid progress, and the truth that those who go along with it will prosper and those who go against it will perish without being reminded by others.

At such times, the reassurance of the leader is indispensable.

"Zhong Xiahuo is reasonable, time does not wait for me, it is necessary to carry out construction slowly and methodically, and if you fall behind, you will be beaten, and you must fill the gap as quickly as possible."

Zhong Xiahuo was praised by the leader, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he couldn't stop patting his thighs.
