The development of this kind of thing has always been vertical, and it requires competition. And in some cases, if the other party is more competitive than you, then it is very likely that the development opportunities that would have belonged to you will be snatched away by other countries.

Yan Shao's China in that time and space is, from a certain point of view, actually playing such a role.

Starting from the most basic industry, we gradually move towards high-end industry.

Naturally, it's nothing, after all, people are looking forward, aren't they? If a country has a pursuit, it will naturally do the same. The problem is that while China is doing this, low-end industries are also not spared, which naturally robs many countries of opportunities.

Just like Japan and South Korea in history, after gradually developing to high-end industries, it is natural that they will begin to look down on some low-end industries.

This is one of the reasons why many jobs have been contracted to China in later generations, because these developed countries always need someone to do these jobs for them, and they themselves don't look down on these jobs, even if they are reluctant to let people from their own countries do it, the cost is inevitably high and scary, and the result is naturally conceivable...

However, a country like China, which monopolizes low-end and mid-end industries, and at the same time continues to move towards high-end industries, is inevitably a bit too monster and too rebellious.

But there is also a certain reason, no way, who called the future generations of Chinese population is too much, more than a billion people, need a lot of job opportunities. Therefore, as long as it is a job that brings benefits, it is difficult to let go.

Of course, even if it is. There are many low-end industries, just like Japan and South Korea. China is also somewhat disdainful. For example, some garment processing and the like, in the footwear industry, for example.

It is as if the famous Japanese jogging shoe 'ASICS' was produced in Thailand. Of course, it is said that Vietnam is just that. However, China is not very distressed about these industries, after all, the benefits of such industries are very small, and generally speaking, the pollution is still very large.

In any case, the existence of such a situation as China's is undoubtedly hindering the development path of many countries.

After all, three-year-olds also know one thing, that is, a low-end industry like making clothes will never make a country become a developed country. Originally, in Yan Shao's era, wasn't there a saying that hundreds of millions of shirts could be exchanged for an airplane? Leaving aside the question of whether this statement is true or not. At the very least, the importance can be seen from it.

Countries such as India, Thailand and Vietnam may not want to develop low-end industries, because China is not distressed, or even no longer cares.

But if it is a mid-range industry, China is in front of them at this time.

Because even a little high-end industry is already being done by China, and if they want to gain something at this time, China is definitely a great obstacle...

Moreover, something made in China. The price is also relatively low. Yes, there is indeed such a thing as labor costs, but in addition to labor costs, there are actually many other costs that are saved. For example, shipping costs and so on.

What's more, China's manufacturing industry is extremely comprehensive, and no matter what you need, here is there for you. This is much better than re-importing from other countries.

And this comprehensiveness is not just a general comprehensiveness. It even includes infrastructure, etc.

It's like talking about the blackout in India, which was the one in July 2012. In Yan Shao's original era. On July 30 and July 31, 2012, two major power outages occurred in northern India. The accident affected more than 22 states in India, with 14 states affected by the first power outage and as many as 20 by the second. The accident was also the largest power outage in history, affecting the daily lives of more than 600 million people, about half of India's total population.

The accident came just weeks after the extremely hot weather caused New Delhi's electricity consumption to hit a record high. Drought caused by delayed monsoons has left agricultural areas in Punjab and Haryana in need of more electricity to irrigate rice fields using pumps. In addition, the late monsoon also means that the hydropower plant is generating less electricity than usual.

The scale of power outages for almost 600 million people is definitely a very incredible thing for Chinese, but such a thing can happen in India...

This is the gap in infrastructure, not to mention that Indians are also notoriously lazy compared to the Chinese. And then there's the chaos and so on, and so on...

To be honest, putting aside the issues of race, culture and social system, India is actually similar to China, and even has the opportunity to develop into China. After all, the population is equivalent to the labor force, but also equivalent to the market, and India's land area is not small, although it is much smaller than China, but the most important point is that this country is basically plains, which can be used as arable land, as long as it is reasonably developed, it can cultivate more grain than China...

Considering that India's external environment is much stronger than China's, it seems that it should be much more agreeable than China's. After all, no matter how much the United States restricts India, at least Britain will not. Even if Britain restricts it, isn't there still a Russia?

It's just a pity that there really is no such opportunity in this country ...

Because they themselves don't fight ...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In any case, because of China's survival, it is difficult for other countries to move from low-end industries to high-end industries. In a country like India, it is even more difficult for Guò to develop into a developed country through industry...

As for the service sector? To be honest, it may be possible for the service sector to become a developed country, but that is only for some small countries. For example, for a small country like Europe, for a large country, it is a bit whimsical to become a developed country like relying on the service industry alone...

And if it is India, there is no doubt that it is impossible for all a billion people to run to the service industry. What's more, India's population is already almost larger than China's...

Considering the chaos of the Indian system, there is also super-fertility. It's not impossible.

As mentioned earlier, there will be competition between countries.

This is not just in modern times. This was true even in ancient times. After all, if there are two countries next to each other, then there will definitely be an impact on each other. It's just that compared with ancient times, because of the more developed relationship between transportation, the comparison between modern and modern times is more obvious.

Especially in modern times, as an era that has become a global village, many things have naturally become conspicuous.

In this era, in fact, the same is true, and it is precisely for this reason that so many people feel unlucky ―――――― Japanese.

Tokyo, Japan. As the capital of the entire Japanese Empire and the largest city in Japan, it is arguably the most prosperous city in the entire Japanese archipelago. The number of ships that come in and out of the city's port every day can be described as innumerable, but that does not change the indisputable fact that the city, despite its prosperity, can hardly hide a hint of gloom in the process of prosperity.

The first to discover this was naturally the city's administrators.

The managers of this empire, to be exact.

However, apart from them. There are also many people at the bottom of this country who also have their own feelings―――――― there is no way, after all, there are many things that happen in this country that can be said to be closely related to them, in this case. To be honest, it's really hard for them to have something they don't perceive.

For example, there are fewer and fewer opportunities for employment. For example, the efficiency of the factory where I work is getting lower and lower, and the shop I run is also pù. Business is also getting worse and worse...

Of course, this amplitude is small. So the vast majority of people don't notice it much. Only a careful person has some ideas, but...

There are also some people who are also aware of it and keep complaining, but...

Their complaints, in many cases, are just a dissatisfaction with their daily lives, especially with their current life. And they continue to magnify this dissatisfaction, in other words, they don't actually find anything, it's just because of dissatisfaction, so they will continue to amplify this dissatisfaction in their words...

These people are naturally the ronins who have nothing to do on the streets of Tokyo every day.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In ancient times, the term ronin referred to a person who left his registered place of residence to wander in another country, also known as 'floating waves'. Ronins have no identity, and anyone can become a ronin. In the middle of the Edo period, the prison was referred to as a ronin, but it is correct to say that the prison and the ronin are not exactly synonymous.

Of course, the term "prisoner" does not mean a person who is locked up in a prison, but a person who has left the house of the Lord (or lost the house of the Lord) and has lost his income. The term refers only to the samurai who had a master-slave relationship between the Muromachi period and the Edo period, and in other words, the term prison man has a limited identity. After the beginning of the Edo period, the war gradually subsided, and the number of prisoners wandering to various places increased due to changes or other reasons. Since then, the prisoners who wander other countries have been called ronins.

At the end of the shogunate period, the ronin community actively participated in various political movements. After the Meiji Restoration, the policy of equality between the four people was implemented, and the 'ronin' class gradually disappeared.

Of course, this disappearance is only in the literal sense of the word, and in fact it is not uncommon in Japan for those who do nothing every day. It's just that they don't carry knives compared to the past. After all, since the ban on knives in Japan, it has become illegal to get a katana on the street, and it may even be punished by law.

But that's just for those who are caught, and there are actually a lot of people who are dissatisfied with all sorts of things, carrying 'controlled knives', but they don't blatantly do that.

Moreover, there are obviously many more people willing to use pistols than in the past.

Originally, in the original historical process, this kind of ronin in Japan should be less and less, and even if there are some, they usually go abroad, such as China―――――― and other places to do evil in fact, there are really some people in Japan now, but they are usually very strictly controlled, and it can almost be said that it is absolutely impossible to be allowed to make trouble. Or that they didn't have the guts to do that in the first place. It is true that there are some Japanese ronins who will make trouble, after all, at that time, the contempt for Japan has begun to take root in the hearts of these arrogant people.

For them. Even if there is trouble in China, I believe there will be no problem. And they don't seem to have to bear any consequences?

In fact, this was true at the very beginning, after all, at that time, the Kuomintang government had just been established, and the local governments were indeed unwilling to provoke the Japanese, and it was also because of this relationship that there were many Japanese who did not bear legal responsibility after making trouble.

And at the beginning, Yan Shao didn't know about this kind of thing at all, after all, Yan Shao was in charge of everything at that time, and obviously no one would tell Yan Shao about this kind of thing―――――― maybe for them, this kind of thing was too small. There is no need to repay Yan Shao at all.

It wasn't until one time that something got big, and even almost killed someone, that the people were boiling, to the point that Yan Shao also knew, and it wasn't until this time that Yan Shao understood. Although the Nationalist Government had been established at this time, it was not the backbone of the people, even the backbone of the officials had never been straightened.

So naturally, after Yan Shao crossed the local government, he directly punished the Japanese ronin who ordered the troublemaker.

At that time, the Battle of Shandong had not yet broken out. Therefore, many Chinese people and even government officials are very afraid of the Japanese, so they all build a strict and quiet thing. At the same time, the arrogance of the Japanese can be described as arrogant.

However, unlike the Chinese people at that time, Yan Shao's heart can be said to look down on the Japanese at all. After all, what the Japanese dead house will look like in the future, Yan Shao can be said to know it clearly. Even if the wolf has not been domesticated into a dog by the Americans, Yan Shao is still not worried at all.

That's right. A local war will definitely not be won, so it will be a big deal to come to the whole war.

To know. At the moment, China is very weak, but to be honest. Compared with the China in the Anti-Japanese War later, I am afraid that it may not be much worse, and it may even be slightly stronger than China at that time?

At least at that time, the gap between China and Japan was definitely bigger than it is now.

That is fashionable and can hold on, let alone now?

Moreover, the reason why Japan became stronger during the Anti-Japanese War was largely because they had completely acquired the industry of Northeast China, which was one of the best industrial regions in China at that time. You must know that in 1931, the output of Japan's steel industry was only 1.88 million tons, but by the next day it had reached more than 2.3 million tons, in the third year it had reached 3.19 million tons, in the fourth quarter it had reached 3.84 million tons, and by 1935, it had reached 4.7 million tons.

However, in just three years, the figure has increased by almost 3 million tons, which is more than twice as much, and to be honest, if it were not for the loss of Tohoku, Japan would not have had such an advantage.

Especially in the year of the Lugou Bridge Incident, Japan's steel production reached 5.8 million tons...

Therefore, it is really better to fight late than early, and if there was a full-scale war on September 18 that year, maybe the losses would be relatively small.

It is also an indisputable fact that the gap between China and Japan is obviously much smaller than that of the same period in history...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In any case, under Yan Shao's tough attitude, it was the Japanese side that finally chose to calm the situation, after all, it is not the radicals who are now in power in Japan, let alone those army forces that have no brains.

If they choose to go to war for such a trivial matter, then they will inevitably be too brainless.

But even so, on the surface, the Japanese government still clamoured for a while.

After that, those Japanese ronins in China were more or less settled. Because they understand one thing, that is, their own country may not be able to protect them.

However, what really changed those Japanese ronin, and even the local government and the people, was the outbreak of the Shandong Campaign.

At the beginning of the war, except for Yan Shao and Jiang Baili and others, it can almost be said that no one was optimistic about the chances of the Kuomintang.

Those Japanese ronins are even more arrogant, and naturally, the local departments have also taken the opportunity to arrest a lot of such guys.

Originally, when these ronins were caught in prison. One by one, they have an arrogant attitude, and they are still waiting for their country to win. Some ronins even claim in prison that they will wait until their country wins. It will allow the Chinese government to pay back double or even ten times their losses today.

There is no doubt that the local government at that time was also relatively soft, and it was also frightened by these guys, so they didn't dare to control them at all, but kept trying to wait for them, so that they could live comfortably in prison, which was almost like staying in a hotel.

In the end, however, instead of waiting for the good news of their country's victory, they waited for the news of their defeat...

At this time, the attitude of the police department. Naturally, it has changed...

Not to mention their style of wall grass for the time being, as long as they are normal people, as long as they don't shake M's heart, after being arrogant by these guys for so long, they will obviously be more annoyed, even if these wall grasses are the same, so they naturally cleaned up those Japanese fiercely.

At this time, the Japanese government was busy negotiating, and obviously couldn't take care of these troublemakers.

In the years that followed. China is getting stronger and stronger, and Japan is becoming more and more unprovoked. After losing their original sense of superiority, most of the Japanese ronins chose to return to China, and only a few remained in various parts of China. But even so, it's still a lot more honest.

Especially after the end of the Korean War, there was no longer even a single Japanese ronin who dared to do the same.

corresponds to it. The Japanese government is also worried about these ronins. After all, these guys are not suitable for production, in addition to causing trouble every day. There's really nothing else to do. Originally, these people went to China, but the Japanese government welcomed them. After all, going to China is tantamount to trouble, who would have thought that they would come back in the end?

Anyway, that's the case.

And at this moment, in a tavern in Tokyo, Japan, a group of down-and-out ronins are gathering in a tavern.

In the tavern, they complained about their usual grievances, as usual.

Complaining about the uniformity in society, cursing the incompetence of the government, and their weakness to China, etc.

It can be said that almost everything they can complain about, they have complained about all.

But then again, there doesn't seem to be much more they can do than complain...

After all, these people are a bunch of troubles even in the eyes of the Japanese government.

To be honest, in some taverns in Japan, except for some owners who already support these guys, most people are afraid of them―――――― think about it, if you go to a restaurant for dinner, there is always a group of ghosts crying wolves next to you, and the fierce guys are there complaining loudly, would you be willing to go to such a restaurant to eat?

The same is true at the moment, no matter how distorted the personality of the Japanese is, I am afraid that few people will appreciate such people from the bottom of their hearts.

So to be honest, if it weren't for the support of these guys, I'm afraid few people would be able to endure these guys...

What to say, after all, not everyone is good-tempered―――――― of course, if you are afraid of these guys, it is difficult to say, after all, these guys are still very first-class in trouble...

However, in this tavern, the Japanese ronin were still complaining as usual, and the owner of the tavern was also standing by and listening, when the ground, no, to be exact, the whole house suddenly shook ...

Immediately afterwards, the owner of the tavern saw that it seemed that the whole room was shaking.

If it is a Chinese person, it is very likely that you will be confused when you encounter this situation.

After all, this kind of thing is actually relatively rare in China, at least there are often some people who may not be able to encounter similar things a few times in their lives―――――― in Yan Shao's memory, when he also lived in a bungalow, he had encountered it twice, and it was a very slight kind, and it was over before Yan Shao could even react to what it was.

But if you say something Japanese...

"Earthquake !!"

With shouting, the boss took the lead and rushed out. (To be continued......)
