Because when the maritime country was established, Xin Yu established the establishment of industry and commerce...... At that time, the maritime country was poor and white, and there were no government personnel with management experience, and the current level of education of the people was very low...... Perhaps the only thing that makes Xin Yu feel relieved is probably that the average literacy rate is relatively high.

Under such circumstances, even if Xin Yu had the ambition of developing scientific civilization at that time, there was no foundation for him to realize his ideals...... Moreover, taking industry and commerce as the main means of development is also the accumulation of economic wealth.

It is said that the economic foundation determines the superstructure, and the development plan proposed by Xin Yu at that time was still more suitable for the "national conditions" of the maritime country, and from the perspective of the development speed at that time, it did promote the development of all aspects of the whole society.

And now, the maritime country has tapped the power of capital to the extreme, and the land is not wide, there are factories everywhere, and workers engaged in industrial production and research are everywhere. Although Xin Yu has not clearly put forward the development of science and technology as the first goal, nor has he particularly emphasized to the people that science and technology are the primary productive forces, but the development of society, or the stimulation of the economy, has made the scientific and technological level of the maritime country in the competition to get a great deal of law, all kinds of new inventions and new applications, in the increasingly fierce commercial competition, quickly popularized...... Even factories and companies that are a little slower to replace will be eliminated by this harsh reality.

Speaking of which, the reason why we want to talk about competition is not because the industrial and commercial owners of the maritime countries are provoked by anyone to "fight in the nest," but because other countries, especially those that are relatively close to the maritime countries, have seen that the maritime countries have developed from a barren land to an extremely developed region with extremely developed material civilization in just a few years, and in the process of faster and faster economic development, they have not lagged behind militarily. Even under the invasion of the super tsunami that is rare in a thousand years, he was able to survive the crisis without breaking his muscles and bones.

Moreover, after the tsunami disaster, the maritime countries not only suffered huge losses as other neighboring coastal countries, but also quickly recovered to a state of prosperity even more prosperous than before the disaster in just a few years with their strong industrial manufacturing capabilities and excellent business operations.

If a person is jealous of other people's wealth, he may only be able to say bad things about others behind his back, or concoct some unfounded rumors to slander others in order to vent his "hatred of the rich". And if a country as a whole is jealous of the wealth of other countries, because it is difficult for the group consciousness to have the rationality and restraint of individual consciousness, it is easy to go to extremes...... In the case of using war to solve economic problems and ethnic contradictions, not to mention the world, even in Xin Yu's previous life, in a "peaceful" environment where there was a nuclear threat, wars caused by economic problems often appeared.

For example, the control of oil by the United States made Saddam Hussein in Iraq unhappy, and even though he knew that his thighs could not withstand the arms of the old United States, he still invaded Kuwait without hesitation, and finally touched the economic interests of US imperialism, which led to the outbreak of the Gulf War, which attracted worldwide attention.

Like the maritime country, the land area is pitifully small, but it is so rich that it "flows oil...... Although the wealth of the maritime countries is not because of "oil", the wealth of gold and silver is more likely to be coveted by other countries than oil.

It's just that Xin Yu can bring the Ocean Country, a collective composed mostly of ordinary people, into the astral world with a tough attitude, and sit on an equal footing with those powerful top-level astral forces, and its military strength is not something that ordinary secular countries dare to take risks...... You must know that in this world, except for the ocean country, other countries can have a few high-level astral magicians as worship, which is already an extremely rare power. However, Xin Yu used his strong interests and strength to collect thousands of astral magicians, and also formed a pure astral army based on these astromagicians.

Although most of the astromagicians' cultivation in the Ocean Country's astronomical troops hovered below the realm of breaking the sky, only a few astromagicians could reach the realm of high-level astromagicians because of their outstanding talent and Xin Yu's assistance with various pills at any cost.

However, it is the astral sorcerer force composed of these thousands of people, because of its tacit understanding of overall cooperation and the organizational discipline of the order and prohibition, not to mention the armed forces of other secular countries, even in the face of the sects in the astral world, it is also a force that cannot be underestimated and no one dares to underestimate.

It is precisely with such a "backing" confidence that other secular countries no longer look at the wealth of the sea country, and they do not dare to provoke aggression against the sea country for the sake of mere wealth like the astronomers in the astral world.

Speaking of which, even if we don't mention the status of the Ocean Nation in the Astral Realm, and don't mention the armed forces that can be classified in the Astral Realm, they are ordinary "conventional" military forces, and they are not something that those big but not strong countries can challenge.

The national armed forces of maritime countries, which have entered the age of firearms in an all-round way and are organized with extremely advanced ideas on modern army building, even if the total number of military personnel is ...... Even with the local garrison troops, there are less than 100,000 people at most, but with this 100,000 army armed to the teeth, it is not a country that can easily defeat those whose army numbers reach one million, and if the compulsory mobilization can even reach 10 million, it is still in the age of cold weapons.

Moreover, because the maritime country only borders the Great Liang State on land, and the relationship between the Great Liang State itself and the maritime country is particularly close, although within the Great Liang State, there are also many people who are dissatisfied with the separation of this former coastal state...... The main thing is the development of the red sea countries...... But on the whole, from the nominal royal Chen family to the other eighteen families that control the economy, politics and other lifelines of the entire Great Liang Kingdom, they all have a good impression of the Ocean Country or Xin Yu, the "culprit" of the "land and soil".

In the case that it is impossible for the Great Liang State to wage war against the Sea Country, other countries that want to come and plunder the wealth of the Sea Country can only launch an attack from the sea.

However, the naval strength of the maritime country is definitely far beyond that of the maritime country's army...... Other countries have not even figured out a full-fledged system for how to build large wooden sailing ships, let alone the idea of building a navy. It is that the maritime countries did not have steam-powered ironclad ships, but when the country was first founded, those sail battleships built and put into service swept the navies of other countries in the world. It is conceivable that for maritime countries, although wealth comes from the sea, danger also comes from the sea. However, this danger is definitely not an attack launched by other countries or enemies from the sea, but like that tsunami, only a super-powerful natural disaster can cause losses to the maritime state...... It will only be the stagnation of science and technology in the maritime countries that other countries will catch up.

To sum up, when the maritime country began to develop, it occupied the right time and place, and had a relatively good and stable development environment, and after a period of development, it was because its own strength has been greatly strengthened and consolidated, so it can always have the "contempt" for other countries, in short, other countries can only look at it with a blank eye if they covet the wealth of the maritime country.

It is said that society is developing and changing, and that the maritime countries have such a material civilization that far surpasses that of other countries, do the rulers of other countries really just want to watch with their eyes? Obviously, even the most mediocre rulers will have some "self-motivatedness."

Perhaps these rulers did not have Xin Yu's "planning ability", and their countries did not have the accumulation of talents that the maritime country had invested in education for ten years and finally harvested. However, the so-called "I have never eaten pork and have seen a pig run" and it doesn't matter if they don't know how to plan, won't they still "follow the cat's and draw the tiger" to learn from the ocean?

Don't underestimate the "ancients", the natives of this world may not have spontaneously developed scientific civilization, but this does not mean that their wisdom is lacking. In fact, even Xin Yu himself was just standing on the shoulders of many "giants" in his previous life, so that he could "rationally" follow the society of his previous life and learn from it, so that he had the "planning blueprint" for the rapid development of the Ocean Country.

In essence, Xin Yu is just following the "knowledge" accumulated in his previous life, learning to imitate and apply it. Since Xin Yu was able to learn the history of his previous life, why couldn't other countries "learn" from the Ocean Country?

Some people may put forward the phrase "those who learn from me live, and those who die like me" to summarize those imitators who are "not good at learning", but that is what happens when the competition is extremely fierce. The market in this world is huge...... The British Empire in Xin Yu's previous life was able to use the British Isles as a "base" to achieve the "empire on which the sun never sets" to dominate the world. In this world, or on this planet, the maritime nations are not able to dump their industrial products all over the world.

On the one hand, because the territory of the maritime country itself is extremely small, and the total population or population base is too scarce, it is not so easy to occupy the global market at once...... Insufficient production capacity is a shortcoming that restricts the occupation of the market.

On the other hand, the space for human activities in this world is much larger than the earth in Xin Yu's previous life...... In fact, this is also an important factor why the maritime countries cannot occupy the entire world market in the short term, in addition, because the land area of this world, which is far larger than the earth in the previous life, is especially concentrated on one continent.

Therefore, although the maritime and naval strength of the maritime countries are very strong, the only thing that warships and merchant ships can reach and radiate affects is only a small coastal area on this "world island". In a world where transportation, especially land transportation, is extremely underdeveloped, most of the commercial exchanges between maritime countries and the outside world are done through agent trade. This is also a huge factor that limits the maritime states from capturing the global market...... In fact, if there are no transportation obstacles, it is no problem for maritime countries to "explode production capacity" and establish the status of global industrial hegemony with large-scale industrial production.

It is a pity that because of various factors, the maritime countries cannot completely occupy the market of the whole world, which also gives other countries room for imitation and competition.

Although the industrial development of those countries has been inhibited to a certain extent because the maritime countries have cultivated a lot of comprador forces in other countries, they have only inhibited, not eliminated or stifled the industrial development potential of other countries.

After more and more secular countries have studied the development model of the maritime countries "thoroughly", whether they are in the idea of promoting society or in the pursuit of wealth, in short, learning from the maritime countries to develop industry and commerce has become a significant feature of these countries to change their traditional thinking.

In other words, although compared with the scientific and technological level and industrial level of the maritime country, those post-scholars cannot completely complete the pace of moving from handicraft industry to machine industry because they do not have enough talents and insufficient technological accumulation. However, because the secular countries in this world have a land area of millions of square kilometers, and they have hundreds of millions of national populations, coupled with the accumulation of "peace and prosperity", these countries do not lack the original accumulation of development of industry and commerce, even if the quality of their products is not as good as that produced by the maritime countries, even if their manufacturing costs are much higher than the products of the maritime countries, but because they have capital, they can also "differentiate" their operations and occupy the markets that the maritime countries cannot occupy for a while.

Under such circumstances, there is really no way for all kinds of domestic enterprises in the maritime country to completely curb the living space of these "rising stars". At the very least, in addition to those technology-intensive industries, those countries have far more advantages than maritime countries in labor-intensive or resource-intensive industries such as textiles and non-staple food processing.

As a result, it has really paved a path for the development of those countries, although the rise of these "industries" has not brought sufficient returns to those countries in terms of profit margins and the promotion of socio-technological development...... At least it is not as "healthy" as the industry of the maritime state. However, compared with the previous kind of subsistence and the output of the fields, where the main income was from the fields, and the slow rate of accumulation of wealth, these semi-handicraft and semi-industrial industries brought much more wealth to those countries than before.

In this way, the "industrialists" of those countries that have tasted the sweetness, or which countries, are even more out of control and are drifting away on this road.
