Chapter 161: Hai Song's Melancholy

If it weren't for the last resort, the Evolution Officer didn't want to fight an ideological war with Hai Song at all. In order to unite the country's enthusiasm for industrialization, it is necessary to unify the goals in thought. Hai Song has evacuated all the experts and stopped technical assistance, so Zhao Weiguo, the evolving officers, can only rely on the country's technicians. So the ideological war arose.

However, the Hai Song Dynasty actually unconsciously started an ideological war, and the elders of the Hai Song Dynasty never wanted to engage in a military contest with the Republic at this time. The voice of the Hai Song is purely to watch the recent rapid development of the industrial strength of the republic, and is ready to take some eye medicine. Hai Song's current strategic purpose is not Asia, and he has no time to consume national strength in Asia and the Republic.

In 1712, the first five-year plan was completed, and the republic's steel production reached 6 million tons. The huge industrial achievements made the worries of the elders of the Hai Song Dynasty gradually come true. The Republic has no intention of war at the moment, but it is definitely an epic shock to move towards the strong step by step step by step in this world.

However, in this era, Haisong's annual steel production was only maintained at 7 million tons, and if the next five-year plan is completed, a reversal is likely to occur purely in terms of total industrial volume. However, this industrial capacity does not count as industrialization in the Republic's self-evaluation. The national planning of the Republic is calculated on a per capita basis. The republic itself is counted per capita, and the elders of the Hai Song Dynasty are not so stupid as per capita. The republic was far from the point of industrial surplus, and a large amount of steel was piled up on the railroad shipbuilding and machine building. The equipment of the army is only an experimental accumulation of technology. And there was no mass equipment.

However, it is such an army that seems to be backward and weak, so that the elders of the Hai Song Dynasty have no bottom in their hearts. The war of a few years ago was too impressive. If there are fewer troops, it will definitely be cleaned up, and if there are too many troops, if it is fought into a war of attrition again, and the last lost troops are driven out, Hai Song really can't stand it.

In this way, it seems that the only way to do this is to incite the countries surrounding the republic to fight a proxy war, but at this time, the elders of the Hai Song Dynasty can see that no country has the ability to provoke the power of the Republic in the East Asian continent along the entire coast of the East Asian continent. So the only way to harass is to use radio.

However, the republic's response was also violent, and it was clearly wrong to arrest dozens of its own media outlets, such as the Hai Song presidential palace, which was free to march to express its opinions. As a result, these media can't produce official evidence from Hai Song at all, and the Hai Song court will not give this evidence at all, because once it is given, it will be a provocation to the Senate. As a result, within a month, the Republic of China put on trial several 42 media outlets in Haisong and labeled them as illegal media.

This was followed by the promulgation of the Anti-Secession Law, which redefined the position of Hainan and Taiwan. This shows the way to a complete confrontation with Hai Song. The lonely patriarch in charge of the infiltration of the mainland did not expect. People are all wise and suspicious neighbors, and if the relationship between Hai Song and the Republic is stable, the infiltration department of Hai Song can influence public opinion. Now, however, dozens of media outlets in the Republic have become synonymous with reactionary media. All propaganda is counterproductive.

The people of the two countries are hostile to each other, and when technological and economic exchanges are completely cut off, an iron curtain hangs down in the Asia-Pacific region. The elders of the Hai Song Dynasty had already smelled the smell of the Cold War. However, this time the protagonist of the Cold War will be the republics whose territory covers the whole of Asia, and the free camp will be Hai Song.

The republic, far from being comparable to the USSR, and Hai Song is not the United States, will face a fatal shortcoming. In the mahogany office, the intellectual woman carefully reviewed the information. This is the female patriarch of the Senate, Lonely Shengnan, referred to as Lonely Yuan, who controls the intelligence department of Hai Song.

Now in his office, he strictly analyzes the development of the future world situation in strict accordance with the data, puts down a stack of documents, and the lonely patriarch pushes his glasses and says to Liu Yiming, who has been waiting for a long time: "If we fight a cold war, we should lose in the current situation." ”

Liu Yiming showed a suspicious look and asked, "Why?" We have more resources than them, and our technology is more advanced than theirs. Lonely Katsuo said: "Population. Liu Yiming said disapprehantly: "The Cold War should run through decades, we have been blocking their market, and our population will grow." ”

Lonely said: "We can block their market by ourselves, but the blockade will never reach the end in the end, and in the end they will collapse." And by the population I am talking about is the industrial population. The Cold War relied on the industrial population. Whoever can have enough industrial population will have the last laugh in this industrial race. The upper limit of Australia's total population as an industrial center is unlikely to reach the level of the East Asian continent, which has the potential to support a billion people. And Australia will never be able to do that. ”

Australia, the lonely man is only counted in Australia, the population of other places is not counted, there are only three kinds of transportation in this world, the largest volume of sea transportation, but the slowest speed, the fastest air transportation speed but the transportation cost, it can not be used as normal transportation at all, and the rest belongs to the railway.

Across the ocean, the control of the major colonies in the world is by sea transport, and the control is by no means comparable to Beijing's control over Guangdong; in this era, if there are local people in Guangzhou who want to die and want independence, the mainland country of Beijing may not have to wait for a day for an order, and the troops will go south along the railway, and the troops of the surrounding provinces will be able to fight directly.

This control is by no means comparable to that of a maritime empire over a colony. In this era, industry is not only an economy but also a power, and if the Western Regions suddenly have an abundance of groundwater and turn the Western Regions into a zone that can accommodate 300 million people, the capital will move to Lanzhou the next day. It formed an industrial center centered on the Western Regions. The reason why Beijing can be the capital is because there are huge grain-producing areas in Northeast China and North China, and there is a large population that can be industrialized. This is just the effect of the large-scale rise of industry somewhere within the cluster of continental countries on the positioning of the political center.

And for a maritime country like Haisong. If there is a massive industrialization in South Africa, once the local regional sentiment is set off, and there is the strength and will, then it is possible for the local government to challenge the central authority. Therefore, in politics, the Song Dynasty would never allow the major colonies across the ocean to do their own thing. Once the economy has nothing to ask for from the central government, and the regionalization of various places begins to take shape, the Hai Song Dynasty, on which the sun never sets, will also collapse.

So if you want to count the industrial population now, you can only count Australia where the elders of the Hai Song Dynasty are located, and only Australia. Of course, before the industrialization of the East Asian continent, the elders of the Hai Song Dynasty felt good. After all, the European side of this world is divided, and the Asian side is stiff and dead.

But now Hai Song is a little uncertain. The resource blockade occupies the entire Asian continent and the republics of the Middle East countries directly bordering the Western Regions do not have the resource problem that exists in the Rendi plane and China. In terms of industrial population, occupying the richest place on the East Asian continent will be able to support a billion people in the future from the warm zone with abundant rainfall. This place is definitely a treasure trove of industrialized manpower. There is no such thing as the fact that the Soviet Union, which had only 300 million people, attached too much importance to the competition in heavy industry, and as a result, it was unable to support the development of light industry in terms of manpower allocation, and the development was unbalanced. Such a country. In this world, Hai Song has an unsolvable problem.

In the game of Blue Star Battle, according to the analysis of the elders of the Sea Song Dynasty, the more they analyzed, the more scared they became. Even if there is a technological advantage now, as long as the republic continues like this, sooner or later it will break through the technical barriers of Haisong, and then it will not be a matter of blockade and maintenance of Cold War confrontation, but the issue of world hegemony under the witness of truth.

The only way to break the game and avoid the sunset in Haisong is to change to a core area, a core area that can accommodate a large industrial population. When the time comes, and the republics regulate the world order. The establishment of order is only peace, not confrontation, and as long as the country of the East maintains its sanity and clear goals, it will be the moment of strength, and foreign forces will simply not be able to challenge the industrial population power of a billion people. Nor would there be a single nation in the world that would become such a large state. You can say that technology is the primary productive force, but technology is progressive, and technological progress is promoted step by step by workers in a down-to-earth manner. More people than fewer people to promote technological progress is to be faster and easier.

The patriarchs of Hai Song stand in the future and analyze the answers to what has already happened in the future. The collapse of the empire on which the sun never sets, the rise of the world hegemony of the new Rome and the challenges it encounters. Liu Yiming looked at the serious report and said slowly: "The Great Mandate of Heaven, this land is the Great Mandate of Heaven. Liu Yiming's expression was complicated, because Liu Yiming was originally an imperial Han, and when the Mandate of Heaven of the Republic rose, it was precisely his so-called imperial and Han thoughts. However, he is also a veteran of the Hai Song Dynasty, and in the future, under the full competition of the industrial power of the Hai Song Dynasty, the major colonies are likely to have a centrifugal situation due to the economic problems arising from the competition, and it is very likely that the Republic of the Hai Song Dynasty will evolve into the Hai Song Federation.

Liu Yiming said: "It seems that we still have to fight the North American War. The lonely patriarch continued to pour cold water and said: "Competing with such an adversary, waging war elsewhere, although this war is to increase the potential of our country, it will weaken our national power in times of war. If at this time the Republic waged war against the islands of Hainan and Taiwan. There is a high probability that we will have a very dangerous situation. ”

Liu Yiming said: "What is your suggestion? Lonely Katsuo said: "The military was broken a few years ago, and at this stage it is impossible to come up with a feasible plan for the war against the republic. Since I can't interrupt the steps of the republic, then I will stabilize them first, and they have no intention of attacking Taiwan and Hainan at present, so they can only put aside the dispute for now. These two strips are leased by us to Daming. In terms of sovereignty, in legal terms, it is they who have a relationship with the Dongming regime. I do our thing, I don't say anything. Resumption of economic and technical exchanges with the Republic. Establish economic ties and reduce the risk of war. ”

Liu Yiming said: "Appeasement? Lonely Katsuo nodded and said, "We must do this before the risk of our collapse is eliminated." Economic and technical assistance in exchange for their low investment in armaments. ”

Liu Yiming said: "But if we do this, the technical gap between us and them will be quickly caught up." And it will take at least fifty years to seize the Americas and turn it into an industrial core. ”

Lonely Katsunan nodded and said, "Retreat, you must retreat strategically during this time." And it takes everything to slow them down. Try to mobilize public opinion to reduce their investment in technology. ”
