Answers to some questions from book friends

One. Why is this Ming so weak?

Answer:

Because Long Aotian crushed the Quartet too much, I think this will miss a lot of plots, such as the very important game between countries.

My original intention was to set a Ming that was neither strong nor weak, but it was actually quite difficult. Because with China's size, there are often two situations, either exaggeratedly strong or ridiculously weak.

It's too strong, it's brainless, it's boring, and there are still a lot of plots that can't be written; It's too weak, who has nothing to do with this kind of self-abuse?

So I chose the most tricky one, that is, how to design a Ming that is neither strong nor weak in this era.

By the way, in fact, this Ming Dynasty is not weak - its own national strength is guaranteed to compete for three in the world, and it also has three vassal states of Korea, Vietnam, and Liu, and has a semi-independent economic internal circulation circle. If the United States does not go into battle, Britain, France and Russia will not be able to take her together.

Two. How does it feel like the Beiyang or the Republic of China that has changed its skin?

Answer:

If you don't admire the ocean and don't comprador you, where is it like?

I don't admit it anyway, I don't like these two things, draw a line first, don't draw an equal sign because of some similarities, the difference between the kernels is still very big.

For example, when I saw "Officers Staying Abroad", I made up a series of plots in my brain...... It's normal to go abroad for exchange and study, check and fill in the gaps, you can't always do it behind closed doors, right?

Historically, there was a U.S. Army Captain Carlson who went to the Northwest as a military observer to investigate the mysterious forces, and then was ordered to form the 2nd Marine Corps Melee Battalion to conduct special training for soldiers with the knowledge he learned there. The battalion was elusive in the Pacific theater, and the famous "Makin Atoll Sneak Attack" was their masterpiece.

Three. Why does this Ming still need to be equipped with foreign weapons?

Answer:

The main weapons have been independently developed as much as possible, but the auxiliary weapons do not matter, pistols and carbines are harmless. At the same time, if there really are better, ready-made foreign weapons, then why not buy them back for reference?

If it's good, use it, don't be ashamed. Doesn't the United States also use Switzerland's Erikon and Sweden's Bofors? Isn't the British Buren also a copy of the Czech ZB26/30?

As a late-developing industrial country, Daming has a weak foundation, and there is no way to borrow foreign designs in many places.

Think about our world line, when did it get rid of the Soviet style and independently develop weapons.

However, in terms of setting, Daming's scientific and technological strength is not a stretch, except for aero engines, petrochemicals, and electronic equipment, the others are second-rate and first-class.

Four. This Da Ming is so similar to a tuba day?

Answer:

Far from it.

In a normal industrial country, the primary and secondary industries are complementary, but the days are different. After the first afternoon, the days of receiving a large amount of indemnities were able to develop the military industry by "leaps and bounds", which made its industrial structure seriously deformed.

Figuratively speaking, he is a very thin and stamina lightweight.

This is not the case with the Ming Dynasty, whose industrial structure is generally flat and stable, but there is also a slight imbalance - light industry is a little more developed than heavy industry.

Five. How is the emperor a man?

Answer:

Since you have come here to write a book, you have to follow the customs of the locals, the death of both parents is a must, as for the emperor... It doesn't seem like there's a custom of a female emperor here, right?
