Chapter 599: The Reality of World War II
Li Ang couldn't help but stumble: "Mr. Wen, just for the sake of the interests of a few arms capitalists, he wants to introduce his country into the war in every possible way, which is too much." Can't the Americans see through it themselves? Aren't they opposed?"
Li Ang is not a traverser, and of course he does not know that those arms consortia in the United States have done even more bullish things in later generations. During the Vietnam War, President Kennedy realized early on that the Vietnam War was a quagmire, and he planned to stop fighting, but he only showed this intention slightly, and then he ran into a psychopathic gunman, and he was directly shot into the soul. Because once the United States withdraws from the war, where will the profits of the arms predators come from? That's right, as long as you dare to stop them from getting rich, even if it is the president, I will kill you.
With Kennedy's classmates in the past, so in the future, no president dared to go to the war business of the plutocracy, the two Gulf Wars, the Yugoslav War, the Afghanistan War, etc., etc., which were all feasts for the military-industrial complex.
In the later generations of the original time and space, why did the United States like to fight wars so much? No matter how high the anti-war sentiment at home is, it is useless. It is precisely because this is the interest of the military-industrial complexes that how can they get rich without war? Moreover, with the merger of these military-industrial groups, monopolies have later formed, and this has led to the fact that US weapons have become more and more pitiful and more expensive.
"Hehehe, it's useless to see through. The masses are easily deceived, and as long as the media is well controlled, the intelligence of the people in the propaganda departments is normal, and public opinion can be completely manipulated and reversed. Even if a few people are sober, what can they do?" Wen Deji smiled. "Oppose? During World War I, there was a strong anti-war atmosphere in the United States, but so what?"
The captain of the ship, Colonel Chen Songling, couldn't help but say: "It's really unimaginable, they have already killed millions of people in the first war, and if they participate in the war again, at least a considerable number of Americans will die." Just for the sake of the greedy appetites of the military-industrial complex, the US government dragged its own people into the meat grinder of war and then died senselessly, such a government is simply ......"
"No, for the U.S. government, their death is not meaningless...... "Because there are many reasons for the United States to enter the war, although the interests of the military-industrial complex are the main, but not all, and there are also their national security strategic considerations." Britain has always been implementing a continental equilibrium policy, and the United States is the same, they also need a continental equilibrium policy. A united Europe is extremely detrimental to the United States. For the United States, a hostile, divided Europe is in their best interest. Because they have interests in Europe, they will not allow Germany to integrate Europe......"
Wen Deji took a sip of tea and continued to popularize science to his subordinates, revealing the essence of this world.
"So Mr. Wen, are there any other reasons for the United States to enter the war?" At this time, Li Ang, who had just digested the news, asked again.
"Of course, the following is the main reason...... "In fact, whether it is World War I or World War II, the essence of it is a war between Germany, a late-developing power, against the old empire that has long carved up the world, if specifically, it is a contest between two social systems." That is, the contest between the [country that controls capital] and the [country controlled by capital], and this kind of contest is the most cruel, life-and-death struggle. ”
In fact, if you lift the bright curtains of international justice, liberal democracy, anti-fascism, etc., whether it is World War I or World War II, the essence is the same. That is, a competition for interests, and a contest between the two systems, and all other things are incidental and even foolish.
One need only look at the maps before the First World War and the Second World War to see that more than half of the earth's territory was colonized or sphered of influence by Britain and the United States. Although Britain and the United States also have contradictions, they are the closest in terms of culture, ideology and system. The most important thing is that they are both [capital-controlled countries], and both countries are countries manipulated by big business.
As we all know, capital has no borders, and the flow of capital has no boundaries between Britain and the United States, so for the big conglomerates that manipulate the country behind the scenes, even if the country that rules the world changes from Britain to the United States, it is not a big deal. It's nothing more than a change of vest, they can easily transfer capital from Britain to the United States, and then use the new vest of the United States to continue to rule the world. Therefore, the contradictions and conflicts between Britain and the United States are controllable and can be resolved, and even the transfer of the world crown is acceptable.
The system close to Britain and the United States, as well as France and other countries. This is the gathering of likes.
But Germany is different, this is a [country that controls capital], although Germany also has large conglomerates, the scale is not even smaller than that of Britain and the United States, but the nature is indeed completely different, and it is always the Junkers officer group that rules Germany, not those conglomerates. The German consortium must be in the service of the Junkers, the ruling state, that is, controlled by the government. The same is true of the fascist regime in Italy, which also kept the corporations firmly in the hands of the government.
It is precisely on the basis of this irreconcilable contradiction in the system that the big business groups that rule the United States do not want to see Germany dominate Europe in any case, otherwise it will be a very serious blow to them. In other words, Britain and the United States can love each other and want to kill, and whoever kills them is acceptable to them, because they are both [capital-controlled countries], but [capital-controlled countries] like Germany and Italy are absolutely not allowed.
Therefore, the essence of the two world wars was a desperate struggle between the international capitalist group that took the lead in controlling the country and the nationalism that controlled the capital later. That is, the contest between international consortium forces and anti-consortium forces. In the original time and space, Germany and the Soviet Union, which were also suppressed by international capitalism, fought each other, and finally gave birth to British and American imperialism controlled by international capital groups.
However, on this plane, it has added China's huge variables, and China already has the strength to determine the future of the world, so the historical development of this plane will definitely not be the same as the original time and space.
Although China's Xingke Group is the world's No. 1 super conglomerate, it cannot manipulate the country, and China's system is also a typical [capital control country], so it is destined to embark on the road of confrontation with the Anglo-American international consortium.
However, because Xingke Group is the private property of Wen Desi, and Wen Desi is the ruler of China, it seems very confusing, which makes the British and American consortiums regard this product as a more conservative kind. This is one of the reasons why the Anglo-American consortium has never been as hostile to China as it was to the Soviet Union. Little did they know that a lion had been mixed in with their wolves.
..................................................................
March 28, Republic 2782 (1941), An Dong Province, Black Dragon Island.
Black Dragon Island is the ancient name of Sakhalin Island, because it is located at the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, so it is called Black Dragon Island. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was restored to its ancient name and subordinated to Andong Province.
Heilong Island has a cold continental climate, where the climate is cold, the summer is short, the winter is as long as six months, the average temperature in winter is between -19 °C and -24 °C, and the temperature in the north can be as low as -40 °C. Several ports have been frozen for a long time. The northern part of the country was frozen for eight months. It is also located in the Pacific Rim Seismic Zone, so earthquakes are frequent.
Therefore, although it is rich in resources, it is not suitable for the development of an industrial base. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the political power of the Socialist Party of Science and Technology vigorously developed agriculture, aquaculture, and fishery, as well as forestry and mining with special characteristics, in accordance with local conditions. In addition, because of Wende's policy, although the continental shelf around it is rich in oil and natural gas resources, it has only been developed on a small scale.
If you want to say that the most developed industry here is probably uranium mining. According to the information, Chinese authorities have discovered a huge open-pit uranium mine in the mountainous area of the south-central part of Heilong Island, with reserves of more than 1 million tons. Open-pit uranium ore is one of the very few metal minerals in China that can be exploited openly. After 20 years of development, the Heilongdao uranium mine has become one of the largest uranium mines in China, which can produce about 1,500 tons of uranium per year, accounting for about 20% of the country's total output. In fact, if it weren't for the cold climate and short working hours, this yield could have been doubled.
The main labor force here is mostly isolated from the outside world, in other words, felons with sentences of more than 40 years. Hey, there is no concept of life imprisonment in China, that is, how many years the criminal law stipulates. If several crimes are committed, then add one piece, and there is no such thing as "only taking the maximum sentence".
At this time, the group of felons were working in full swing as usual, driving all kinds of construction vehicles and holding all kinds of tools, and they were busy like worker ants on this mine. There is no lazy, yes, no one is lazy! With the effect of biochips, they simply cannot be lazy.
Here are a few distinguished guests today.
"Well, Old Fan, it seems that this place is not bad, the prisoners are actively reforming. Lieutenant General Huo Jinsi said to Fan Han with a smile.
"Hehe, it's really good. Fan Han smiled very gently. Now he has gorgeous sideburns, but his temperament looks more like a scientist than a feared spy leader. The German Himmler nickname is "German Fan", which means "German Fanhan".
Not only the two of them, Wang Qi from the Ministry of State Security and Xia Xiao from the State Information and Statistics Bureau are also watching the scenery here.
The aura of China's four spy leaders was too strong, and the general manager of the mine next to him kept a stiff smile, even though the temperature was less than ten degrees at this time, he also felt that he was breaking out in a cold sweat. Nima, I must have gotten up in the wrong posture today, the big bosses of the "three factories and one bathroom" all came to me, do you want people to live.
"Mr. Li, why are you so nervous? We're just choosing a few people from you......" Wang Qi glanced at him and said with some amusement.
"Okay, good, even if the chiefs are picky, these people are the best labor force......" Mr. Li said with a smile on his face.
"Now the country needs a group of volunteers, and I think they are quite suitable. Fan Han walked over and said with a smile.
