Chapter 164: Checks and Balances

"On the issue of last night's Pacific War, the highest political situation in our country has the following views: First, since the Federation has continuously improved the unified pattern, the Japanese Empire has always had impure motives, ostensibly obeying the majority, but in fact it has been invading its neighboring countries and regions for many years, and its purpose is obvious, that is, to reserve resources for the war that broke out today......

Reserve resources refer to the storage of resources on a certain scale by individuals, enterprises and countries in order to cope with the possible supply lag and appreciation of natural resources, so as to ensure the normal operation of life, production and society in the future. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Yang Lei knows that in the famous federal resource management college, resource renewable and resource reserves have the same ranking of first-class disciplines, and most of the students who graduated from this school have become first-class resource predators or financial tycoons in the industry in the future development, and the importance and recycling of resources is the wisdom of some capitalist countries.

Today, the Federation has three strategic reserve resources: oil, iron ore, and rare metals.

Little known, in Saudi Arabia and other regions, the petrochemical industry has been in a thriving state, and in China, in recent years, it has also launched a domestic monopoly policy on steel and various ores, as a raw material for mecha manufacturing, undoubtedly, the monopoly of steel is an inevitable phenomenon in the development, it turns out that after the Chinese military chose to monopolize all high-end mecha manufacturing technology and steel smelting technology, it soon made some private consortiums that tried to fight this idea come to naught.

The monopoly industry is a kind of monopoly in the industry by virtue of technological advantages, such as Microsoft in the American Empire, the company's operating system will monopolize the computer operating systems of various countries around the world because of its profound technical advantages, but behind the scenes, who knows whether the head of Microsoft is still standing in the Congress of the American Empire.

Monopoly industry is prevalent in capitalist countries, because the wealth of capitalist countries is often only in the hands of a few people, and the majority of people can only survive in the slums.

In China, the natural monopoly industries include tap water, electricity, public transportation, tobacco, oil and natural gas, in addition, most of the transportation industries of land, sea and air are also within this scope, including banks, etc., in Yang Lei's view, these monopoly industries do have their inevitability.

Just imagine, if there are multiple power grid systems in a city to provide electricity services to consumers, and then compete, it will inevitably cause a waste of resources, these areas are not a monopoly structure but a commercial competition of multiple producers, the impact on consumers may be small, but it will not be too good for the whole country, so at this time, if the empire's power grid system does not intervene, the final result can only be the withdrawal of major manufacturers from the market.

Therefore, monopoly has both advantages and disadvantages, and most of the benefits are for every citizen, so that more ordinary people can enjoy the resources of this planet, and the disadvantage is that it curbs the development of some big conglomerates and cuts off the germ of their reliance on resources to make a fortune.

Since there are things that individuals or small groups cannot control, then only the Empire will take action!

Thinking of this, Yang Lei felt that the Japanese Empire was indeed not a whim, because the Bermuda Triangle had only added fuel to the fire of the American Empire some time ago, but had already planned for this purpose, which could be said to have been planned for a long time.

Although the serial disappearance of the plane group in the Pacific waters in the past two months has had a great impact on the US military, and some media even suspect that this is just a hype for the country, and want to attract the attention of all walks of life, but no matter how much public opinion there is, the national strength of the United States is still there.

The leading country of this era is not built...... The poor Japanese slave empire probably would not have thought that the plan they had been planning for so many years would be shattered by the other party's shells in less than a few hours.

I really got used to that sentence, as long as it was within the range of the cannonball, the truth was everywhere! This should be the case in the Pacific theater now, blooming everywhere.

Yang Lei noticed that Dongfang Shuo, who was speaking on the podium, had red eyes and bloodshots, it seemed that he should have stayed up all night last night, what were he worried about? The current international situation is like the Chu River and Han border, which is clear at a glance, and the former is definitely the wisest choice to advance or defend.

Shaking the documents in his hand, Dongfang Shuo glanced at the soldiers listening carefully below, and continued: "In order to stop this situation from continuing to deteriorate, according to the decision of our country's Resources Management Bureau, we will carry out a policy of restricting the export of steel to the Japanese slave empire from now on. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone showed excited looks, in fact, such as iron ore and other metal reserve resources, Huaxia has at least half of the country in the entire federation, and, in the steel export trade, the Japanese slave empire has always been the key object, and now this decision, the steel and other metal raw materials of the Japanese slave empire are bound to be greatly reduced, and can only be traded with other countries.

It should be known that in the foreign trade of iron and steel, the price of Huaxia has always been the cheapest among the federal countries, firstly, because Huaxia itself has a large number of rich mineral deposits underground, and secondly, the sharing spirit of Huaxia is still relatively avant-garde.

Therefore, the Japanese slave country, such as some shipyards, military bases, automobiles, mecha and other manufacturing industries will be seriously affected, and Yang Lei believes that now except for a few militants and exiled factions, most of the empires of the federation are hostile to the Japanese slave state, in this kind of eyes, if anyone dares to sell their own steel to the former, it is equivalent to becoming a public enemy of the world.

Therefore, this approach of the Chinese State is, in a sense, even more useful than the actions of some countries to send their own death squads to the Pacific to support the American Empire. In the battle at sea, what is the most important thing, carriers, sea vehicles, you don't have to think about it, in the case of serious shrinkage of steel resources, the warships of the Japanese slave country are bound to become restricted, it is estimated that soon their shipyards and military bases will face the danger of stopping production, no way, who said that whether it is ships and guns, and the main component of all kinds of weapons is steel?

The Uno Empire was destined for a sad end......

Dongfang's words undoubtedly made the blood of the soldiers below boil to a large extent, although the place where the war took place is no longer in the territory of Huaxia, but the defense of the homeland is the eternal duty of every soldier, and the peace of the earth depends on them.

Now, what Yang Lei cares about most is whether the Chinese military will send the so-called Pacific death squads to the war zone to support the American Empire, to put it bluntly, the balance on the Japanese slave empire in terms of resource reserves is only invisible, and there are even many citizens around the world who don't know what monopoly is, so they naturally feel vain about this invisible and intangible, they just want to see the most direct approach on the surface.

"As some of you may know, we started to build the Pacific Death Squad some time ago, but the purpose at that time was only to assist the American military in exploring the mysterious events in the Bermuda Triangle, and now that the war has broken out, I believe that the soldiers of the Pacific Death Squad should be ready to fight, right?"

"Always be ready!"

In the entire conference hall, the loud shouts of all the soldiers resounded in unison...... (To be continued.) )
