Chapter 118 Nanyang University
Looking at the industrialization of the world's major powers, it can be roughly classified into two kinds, one of which is represented by Britain and France, through the invasion, oppression, slavery and other ways of primitive capital accumulation to promote the development of the national economy, to achieve national industrialization, the rise of the slave trade in history, is one of the main means of this way! Another way to industrialize the country is to finally industrialize the country through the scissors gap between industry and agriculture, the exploitation of agriculture and peasants, and the subsidy of funds needed for industrial development, represented by the Soviet Union in later generations! However, the advantages and disadvantages of this mode of industrialization are too obvious, and the advantage is that it can indeed concentrate limited national strength and establish a perfect system of heavy industry, especially the military industrial enterprises, in the shortest possible time, while the disadvantage is that the backward development of light industry and agriculture has caused a shortage of daily necessities! The Great Famine in the history of the Soviet Union and the disintegration of the country in the later period are the evil consequences of this mode of industry, and of course there is also a human factor in this! However, the problem of the latter industrialization method is too obvious, so when the Huo Jiajun economic development plan was originally formulated, Huo Shan did not hesitate to choose the first one, through the oppression and enslavement of the Nanyang natives to achieve Huo Jiajun's own industrialization!
Judging from the current development speed of Huo Jiajun, his current strategy is still very correct!
"In addition, we will expand the training of doctors, increase the number of Western medicines, and further promote the improvement of traditional Chinese medicine! Moreover, we also plan to establish a comprehensive university in Dong Wanlu, 'Nanyang University'! In addition to our own training, we will also select some of the current Dutch high-level talents to supplement them! In this way, in four years, the number of universities in our Huojiajun territory will reach four, and the number of college graduates will reach 5,000 every year! Initially alleviate our dilemma of shortage of high-level talents! After saying this, Huang Sheng paused, his expression was a little proud, and he continued with some expectation: "The above are some of the data of our economic and industrial development in the past year and some of the contents of the revised five-year plan! In addition, our economic income this year has reached 50 million taels of silver, but our fiscal deficit will still increase at a rate of 60 million per year, and if it were not for the large amount of gold and silver we have harvested from the Qing court and the natives of Nanyang, I am afraid that our government affairs yuan would have gone bankrupt long ago!"
Hearing the teacher's words, Huo Shan nodded clearly, the investment required to develop in a wild land is really huge, but this kind of investment is necessary to promote economic development!
"Teacher, the temporary fiscal deficit will continue to decrease with our economic development, don't worry!" Huo Shan smiled and comforted!
"I know, the main reason why I came to you today is for this matter! In addition, the realization of our plan requires a lot of labor, you urge Wang Xiangzong and them, the natives should be arrested as soon as possible!"
"Okay, teacher! I will solve these problems, and I promise that within half a month, I will first solve the problem for you with 500,000 strong laborers, and within half a year to reach 2 million! Within a year, it will reach 4 million! This number of people is enough to provide you with all the manpower needed for the construction of these projects!"
"In that case, then I'll go back first, there are still a lot of things waiting for me to solve in the Government Council!"
After Huo Shan stood up and sent him out of the door, he returned to the study! After looking down for a while, he picked up the phone that had just been installed on the table for a short time, dialed a number, and said, "Get Huo Long for me!"

Within a few days, the East Indies were completely unblocked, and the news of Huo Jiajun's agricultural products fair spread all over the nearby waters! Almost all the maritime merchants near the South Seas who got the news gathered here, and many forces curious about this Chinese army calling itself the 'Chinese People's Army' also began to send their most outstanding intelligence officers to the islands in the South Seas!
"Your Excellency the Governor, this is the information we have gathered, although it is very short, but we have been able to use this information to have a general understanding of this Chinese force that suddenly emerged from the South Seas!" Peyton looked at Sir Walton, who had withdrawn his gaze from the thick intelligence information, and said solemnly.
After massaging the temples on both sides of his head and relaxing some tense nerves, Walton also digested the content of this information, but he still couldn't believe it! Under his nose, such a powerful group of Chinese forces had emerged!
"Is all this information true?" asked Walton with a frown as he picked up the cans and silver dollars on the table and looked at them.
"True! And they are also expanding cities, factories, railways, roads, and schools on the island on a large scale, so the data recorded in this book is changing almost every moment, and the strength of the Chinese army that calls itself the Chinese People's Army is rapidly expanding! Coupled with the rapid increase in the Chinese population on the various islands, I am afraid that as long as there are a few more years, then no one can change the fact that these islands belong to the Chinese!" Peyton said complexly.
"What about the natives on the island? Don't the Chinese know to rise up and resist when they take away their land and their houses?"
Hearing the governor's words, Peyton couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, " What's the use of resisting, not to mention that their original population was originally small, and these Chinese troops who defeated the Dutch changed the image of the Chinese before being generous and benevolent, and carried out bloody suppression of the indigenous people on the island, and through heavy labor such as mining and building railways, they constantly reduced the indigenous population on each island, and now, in the entire East Indies, in addition to the islands occupied by the Chinese people's army, except for the Java Island and Sumatra Island they just occupied, there are still a large number of indigenous people, and the other islands have long become the world of the Chinese, and there are few indigenous peopleοΌβ
"These robbers, bandits, executioners, I will expose their crimes before the whole world!" said Walton, who was silent for a while, and then suddenly shouted angrily.
After waving his hand to let the guards who opened the door to check the situation out, Peyton also became silent, in this era of power, almost every colonist is suppressing and exploiting the indigenous people in their own territory through their own means! The British Empire, as the world's largest power, is no exception! Not to mention, the construction of a 163-kilometer Suez Canal cost the lives of more than 120,000 Egyptian migrant workers! Compared with the Chinese people's army who advanced after the end of school, the British Empire's ass is also unclean, and it is even dirtier!
Therefore, Walton's roar has no real effect except to express his anger at the complete occupation of the East Indies by the Chinese! Because everyone is playing like this in the colonies now, if you really want to lift this cover, no one's face will look good!
After forcing himself to calm down, Walton asked expressionlessly, "General, are you sure that with the 20,000 soldiers in our hands, you can take Borneo and Sumatra?"
Looking at the Governor's expectant eyes, although Peyton wanted to give him an affirmative answer, the analysis reports on the strength of the Huo Family's army in his mind made him finally choose to tell the truth, "Your Excellency the Governor, with only our 20,000 army soldiers in the Straits Settlements, we can't accomplish such a task!"
"Why? Isn't our valiant army of the British Empire able to defeat those abominable yellow-skinned monkeys?" asked Walton, with an ugly face and a low voice!
"Your Excellency the Governor, under the premise of equal numbers, there is no one who is an opponent of the British Imperial Army, except for the Germans and the French! However, according to the intelligence we have obtained, the KPA troops stationed on these islands in the South Seas have exceeded 150,000! Moreover, according to the intelligence obtained from the Dutch who escaped from Sumatra, it can be learned that the equipment of their soldiers is not bad, not only has they achieved one rifle per man, but also the artillery is equipped on a large scale! Therefore, if we want to plot against the East Indies, we need at least 60,000 troops! Otherwise, there is basically no hope of success!" said Peyton calmly and solemnly.
