Chapter 314: Wild Goose and Galaxies
The secret change of the Mitsubishi Foundation is, in fact, also a change in the attitude of the Sun Country, and it is not the Mitsubishi Foundation that is changing alone, but the entire Sun Country society is changing.
In other words, it is a great transformation in East Asia, even Asia, and even the world.
Mitsubishi's transformation can only be said to be a microcosm of the general environment.
Looking back, the situation in East Asia at this time has changed dramatically from a few years ago.
Although the number of domestic tourists to the Sun Country has increased dramatically before, this does not mean that the previous relationship was friendly, and the relationship between the two sides is intricate and chaotic.
Relevant agencies have done a survey, that is, the number of Sun people who have a favorable impression of the Eastern Tang Dynasty is still at a very low level, and not only among the people, but also in their political arena.
Why was the pro-Tang faction in the Sun Country so weak before?
This is mainly because the interests of the two sides are more contradictory than common, first look at the relationship between the two sides in recent decades, everyone will naturally have a good idea.
In the 60s, China began to have people-to-people diplomacy with the Sun Country, and the relationship has been quite good.
Later, the two sides resumed normal diplomatic relations, the most famous of which was Tanaka's visit to Tang, which intensified the warming of relations between the two sides.
Time passed in the 70s to the mid-80s, and the economy of the Sun Country developed at a super high speed, but the economy of the rice grain family stagnated.
They ushered in a series of prosperity such as the "Shenwu Boom" and the "Olympic Boom", and the entire Sun Country was in a great situation, and the economy reached a point of unprecedented prosperity.
So they began to move, testing all kinds of bottom lines, trying to challenge the various ideas of the rice grains.
I feel that if I continue to develop like this, I will be able to turn the tables one day and be on an equal footing with the rice grain family.
So the Sun Kingdom began his journey to make friends with Asia, and the idea of the "co-prosperity sphere" in their hearts had not yet dissipated, and secretly made a small calculation in their hearts, fantasizing that they could represent the entire Eastern world and compete with the Western world.
Then they began to secretly claim that they were the leaders of Asia, and of course they made a lot of aid and interest-free loans to the Eastern Tang Dynasty and Southeast Asian countries.
The country is the biggest beneficiary of this aid.
Domestic aid began in 1979 in the form of low-interest loans, non-reimbursable aid and technical assistance.
This systematic and all-encompassing assistance is unprecedented.
By the end of 2009, their total domestic aid amounted to about $35 billion, which accounted for about 40 percent of the country's foreign aid loans.
And 90 percent of this aid is low-interest loans and is used for domestic infrastructure projects, such as railways and power stations.
It wasn't until 2008 that they stopped the low-interest loan program.
And to this day, the pro bono aid and assistance projects are still preserved.
In fact, the Sun Country still has its own calculations in terms of aid.
The vast majority of these aid payments are made to purchase products from companies in designated solar countries.
In layman's terms, they provide start-up capital, and the country is responsible for earning hard-earned money, and most of the rest of the money goes back to their pockets.
Of course, this matter was indeed a win-win strategy for each country at that time.
And in the seventies and eighties, it was the era of-for-tat between rabbits and old woolly bears, and good relations with countries such as the Sun Country could make their situation not passive and embarrassing.
But in the 80s and 90s, two major international events took place.
The first was the Plaza Accord, which set back the economy of the Solar Nation by 30 years.
The pact made it impossible for them to transcend breaking free, and at the same time shattered their inflated hearts and made all their plans come to naught.
The second is the old hairy bear collar lunch box, which greatly reduces the external threat of rabbits.
Therefore, it was at this time that the rabbit shifted its strategic focus to East Asia and Southeast Asia, and the strategic center of gravity of the Sun Kingdom was also in East Asia and Southeast Asia.
The high degree of overlap in the Asian strategies of the two sides is the beginning of the conflict of interests in the relationship between the two sides.
The means of economic distribution of the solar country to Southeast Asia and East Asia mainly rely on the "goose-shaped model".
This model is to continuously transfer their own industries that have been eliminated to East Asia and Southeast Asia, and use these eliminated enterprises to exert influence on the countries and economies that accept the transfer of industries, and the economic base determines the superstructure, and their wolf ambitions are very obvious.
The essence of the "goose-shaped model" is that the countries that eliminate industrial transfer are determined by the solar country, and they can control that no country will have a complete industrial chain.
Therefore, the whole of East and Southeast Asia must work together and be highly dependent on them in order for this Asian division of labor system to survive.
In fact, they are building an Asian version of the "WTO" controlled by the Sun State.
After 1978, hundreds of millions of industrial workers entered the world market, which made the solar country goose-shaped model invisibly destroyed by China.
Because at this time, Dongtang became a veritable "world factory", with the cheapest workers in the world, and became the place with the highest input-output ratio in the world.
However, the world is flocking to the domestic industrial transfer, which has led to a considerable lack of power in the transfer of industries from the Sun Country.
Moreover, Western countries often want to save trouble and avoid communication troubles, so they will transfer the entire production line to Dongtang in large quantities.
The plan for the goose-shaped model was completely shattered.
Coupled with the economic development of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, it is constantly breaking the dream of the Sun Kingdom dominating Asia.
As a result, the relationship between the two sides gradually turned from enthusiastic to cold at this time.
After all, the same layout can often only be decided by one person, so the two sides are also competing with each other at this time, and there is a comprehensive competition in various fields and industries, and there is a competitive situation of "you without me".
Therefore, the conflict of interests between the two sides is much higher than the common interests, and it is difficult to achieve a win-win situation, so there are quite few pro-Tang Sun people.
In the current era, with the continuous expansion of the power of the Eastern Tang Dynasty and the Galaxy Consortium, the continuous expansion of the frontier of interests, and the highly overlapping layout of the two sides, leading us to take a step forward, they must take a step back.
But this situation was only a transitional period before, and with the growing strength of the Eastern Tang and the Galaxy Consortium, the Sun Country now has to re-examine the relationship between the two sides.
Because now the Sun Kingdom has begun to turn around, it needs to rely on the Eastern Tang Dynasty and the Galaxy Consortium to develop its own economy.
And a new pattern has been initially formed in Asia, when the power of the Eastern Tang Dynasty and the Galaxy Consortium is too strong, it will automatically form a satellite effect.
What is the Satellite Effect?
That is, when the mass of a planet is so strong that the surrounding planets are irresistible, these small planets around them have to change their orbits and become the satellites of this big planet.
This is the gravitational capture of a massive (large-power) planet, because it is very difficult for a small planet (small-power) to resist such a powerful force field, unless it is very far away.
The problem is that the Sun Country, Gaoli, Mobei and Southeast Asia are on their doorstep, and they are destined to be unable to escape.
Especially after the fall of Gaulia, the Sun Country has become a region where various forces are fighting each other.
Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Mitsubishi, the big conglomerates behind the solar car companies, are now changing their attitudes, and some have tried to reach an agreement with the Galaxy consortium.
