Chapter 105: The Population Collapse Crisis

Xiao Yao handed over the commander of the sixth defense region to Di Shengtian, which caused an uproar in the sixth defense region, and thousands of middle and high-level commanders issued a declaration that only supported Xiao Yao as the commander of the sixth defense region, and reprimanded Di Shengtian for forcing the palace to seize power, Xiao Yao had to come forward to clarify, it was because he wanted to concentrate on studying his strength, and at the same time he lacked skills to deal with the affairs of the sixth defense region, so he invited Di Shengtian, who was famous in the Terran Alliance, to take over as the commander of the sixth defense region.

Sima Lingyun's former Second Army of the Sixth Defense Region took over the new border defense line of the Terran Alliance's Dayan Galaxy, Xiao Yanan's First Army and AddisonMarg's Third Army both divided half of their forces to assist Sima Lingyun in stepping up the construction of the Terran Alliance's border defense line, and the space fleets of the Sixth, Fifth and Fourth Defense Regions were stationed in the Ninth Defense Zone to assist in the defense of the Mayana Space Fleet in case of the comeback of the Mayana Space Fleet.

The military factories of the original six major defense areas of the Terran Alliance worked day and night, producing military supplies without interruption, and continuously transported them to the newly built defense lines of Sima Lingyun's ninth and first defense areas; Teng Tie carried out the order left by Xiao Yao and led the newly built Third Army of the Sixth Defense Region to the First Defense Region to assist in the retaliation of the Midochi tribe.

Xiao Yao was on the scientific exploration battleship, talking with his senior brother Di Shengtian and senior sister Long Xiaoyun about another major event related to the fate of the Terran Alliance:

Admittedly, the negative impact of low fertility on the future of the Terran Alliance may be far greater than most people think. With the decline in the number of new births, the Terran Alliance is facing the problem that the population structure is not optimized, and the challenge of aging is becoming increasingly severe.

Some demographers have judged that the future population of the Terran Alliance will show a serious structural distortion of the declining birthrate, rapid aging, and an imbalance in the sex ratio of the marriageable population. It is conceivable that the Terran Alliance will face the problems of pension pressure, labor shortage pressure and insufficient economic development momentum in the future. The lack of economic dynamism, in turn, further inhibits fertility levels.

In the view of some strategists, low fertility poses a serious threat to national security.

The major space cities of the Terran Alliance have long practiced "one-child", and usually the big family that gives birth to a girl will force the heir to have a second child, so the family that implements the policy is generally at most one son. The Terran Alliance once had a tradition of "only son should not be a soldier", and the major defense regions also had special regulations for only sons to join the army. However, the long-term fertility policy has led to the main body of soldiers of the Terran Alliance, which will affect the war potential of the Terran Alliance and the judgment of the outside world on the will to war of the Terran Alliance.

A chronically low fertility rate will also worsen fiscal revenues and expenditures, squeezing defense spending. In recent years, the Terran Alliance's space defense expenditure has advanced by leaps and bounds, and the gap between it and the powerful races in the universe has gradually narrowed. This is due to an intact industrial system and strong R&D capabilities, but a shrinking population will weaken these bases. Maintain the same military strength, halve the population, and at least double the per capita apportionment.

The current fertility situation is also changing the geopolitical situation on the frontiers of the Terran Alliance. The shrinking population of the Terran Alliance has severely affected the economy and the military.

Scholars of population rise and fall believe that the rapid decline in population will lead to the decline of human civilization. Historically, the Terran Alliance was not just a race, but a civilization, a representative of the Terran civilization. As a civilization, the Terran Alliance now has no demographic advantage. The relatively low fertility rate has caused the proportion of human civilization to the population of the universe to shrink for the past 10,000 years, and it is in danger of being surpassed by other civilizations.

A radical strategist believes that population is destiny. A civilization or race, no matter how high its scientific, cultural or social development achievements, will eventually decline if it is at a long-term disadvantage in reproduction.

Even if fertility is fully liberalized now, if the fertility rate cannot be significantly increased, the proportion of the Terran Alliance in the population of this universe will shrink dramatically, and it will become insignificant in a hundred years. To put it simply, with the high probability of shrinking the birth population, the economic scale of the Terran Alliance will continue to shrink, the scale effect will continue to weaken, and eventually lose its comprehensive industrial advantages, the per capita income will decline, and the strength of the Terran Alliance will decline in an all-round way.

Xiao Yao handed over this serious problem to Di Shengtian and Long Xiaoyun, Di Shengtian and Long Xiaoyun husband and wife were also wide-eyed and at a loss, if they led the army to fight, it would be very easy for them and his wife, and for this kind of problem in the field of administrative operations, they were also helpless.

Xiao Yao simply proposed a list of expert groups that can solve this problem: Liao Jiameng, Zhuge Xiang, Pang Shengnan, Addison Linda, Song Hengjiu, Chu Liqiang.

Xiao Yao was explaining the population collapse crisis to Di Shengtian and his wife, and Liao Jiameng was beside Yao Feifei, enlightening those long-tongued women who had ill intentions and spread rumors about Xiao Yao:

There will always be differences between husband and wife, and they must fight for right and wrong, but they don't know that they win the result, but they lose their feelings, and they are unhappy. Unfortunately, many people don't understand this truth and go online for some small things:

If you want to go to a bodybuilding class, he said buy a mat and practice at home; If you want to eat out, he doesn't mean that there is junk food and additives that are harmful to human health; When you say the sea is beautiful, he's not saying that the sea has drowned many people......

Who is right and who is wrong in such a thing? In fact, there is nothing wrong with it, it's just a different opinion, a trivial matter.

After arguing with your partner over trivial matters, someone always asks: What does a good marriage look like? Some people may answer that the three views are in harmony.

The three views of a good marriage are important, but what is more important than the three views is that it is right and wrong.

"Sometimes arguments are fruitless, but the process of arguing will make everyone feel tired and uncomfortable, and I think any consideration is harmful."

In life, there are no two people who have exactly the same three views. There will always be differences between family members. More important than the three views is that you understand me, I understand you, and do not be tense when encountering problems, and do not investigate who is right and who is wrong.

A small story that is widely circulated among the people.

An old couple quarrels, and the husband always lets his wife. The wife asked, "You know I'm wrong, why do you still let me?" ”

The husband said: "Because I'm afraid that if I win the quarrel, lose the relationship, and lose you, I will lose the whole of my life!" ”

In marriage, where are there so many three views that coincide, but you are arguing and he is laughing.

Xiao Yao is not the commander of the Sixth Defense Region now, but he is still our beloved husband, and no one can be allowed to personally attack and slander him, if you want to spread Xiao Yao's gossip wantonly, it is best to ask the soldiers of the Sixth Defense Region how they will deal with you!

Liao Jiameng and his angry guards expelled these long-tongued women from the Sixth Defense Region Combat Staff.
