Although this technological blockade agreement has not been made public, it has become the consensus of all the great powers. In fact, it is very reluctant to accept Japan as a member of the great powers. If China squeezes in again, relying on China's size, once industrialization is completed,
I'm afraid that the resources and markets required are beyond imagination. The world is so big. If you take one more bite, I will take one less bite. Moreover, if China joins, I'm afraid it won't be about how much they can eat, but how much some people will want to eat.
It has lost the qualification to enjoy resources, so it is very normal for major countries such as the United States, Britain, Japan, France and others to reach this agreement!
"Prime Minister, even if the great powers impose a technological blockade on China, don't worry too much. Our main partner is Germany, and Germany surpasses the United States, Britain and other countries in the field of military technology. It doesn't make any sense whether they block it or not. I'm afraid they block it.
, we can come up with better things by using counterexamples!" "Mr. Jiuzi, we still can't be too optimistic. After all, our current military technology exchanges with Germany are still secretive, and many heavy equipment transactions will be restricted by Britain and France.
China can still control Germany!"
Yang Du smiled slightly and said: "Prime Minister, I don't think the current international relations can last long. The order led by the United States, Britain, France, Japan and other countries excludes the three major countries, Germany, Russia, and China. There is no such thing as
With the participation of these three major powers, this international order is not perfect at all. Moreover, the United States has not joined the so-called League of Nations, and there are many internal conflicts in the United States, Britain and other countries. This order cannot be maintained for long!"
Qiao Yu strongly agrees with Yang Du's judgment. Indeed, in the newly established international relations, the defeated Germany was completely trampled under its feet and had no right to speak. The red Russia was excluded, and the independent China was
It is just maintaining independence, and the most powerful United States has not joined the League of Nations controlled by Britain and France. Without these four countries, the new international order is simply a joke and vulnerable!" Prime Minister, I have only seen it for ten or twenty years.
If there is another war, China should make plans early. I think China might as well form an alliance with Germany. In the war that just ended, Germany was almost a country fighting against the world, and almost won. If it breaks out again,
China also has enough strength to participate in the war, and Germany will most likely win. By then, China will naturally be able to bring the entire Asia-Hong Kong region under its control. In this way, China will have hope for rejuvenation!"
Yang Du's situation represents the views of many Chinese upper-class figures. It can be said that "from the beginning of the formation of the Soviet Union, Germany was the great power that had the most contacts with the Soviet Union. There are no longer a few pro-German elements in China. However, Qiao Yu does not agree with this idea.
, all great powers have the same virtue, China and Germany just use each other, China does not need to take chestnuts from the fire for Germany!" Mr. Jiuzi, now Europe is the center of the world, but Germany is the center of Europe, this kind of strategy
Location is both an advantage and a lasso. If Germany wants to become stronger, the first step is to annex small surrounding countries, followed by France and Russia, then the United Kingdom and finally the United States! It can be said that there are obstacles at every step. Germany
Even if they can win early, what awaits them will be a bigger enemy, which is simply against the world. In my opinion, Germany has no ability to win at all. China and Germany are tied together, which is the most stupid thing!"
"Prime Minister, although Germany is not in a good position, the situation is completely different after adding China. Moreover, the more embarrassed Germany is, the greater the benefits we will get from investing in Germany. Isn't it worth the gamble?"
Qiao Yu shook his head repeatedly, "Mr. Jiuzi, running a country is different from investing and gambling. We cannot imitate Japan's gambling on national fortunes. China is a big country. As long as we follow the steps, we will one day become the world's top power. Besides, a unified Europe is nothing."
Good thing we couldn’t raise a more powerful enemy!”
Qiao Yu is very clear about the possible outbreak of World War II in the future. Even if Germany and China combined, they may not be the opponents of the alliance between the United States, Britain, Russia and other countries. Moreover, if China and Germany form an alliance, Japan will definitely go in the opposite direction.
On the side of the United States and Britain, China and Germany will inevitably challenge the entire world!
This is a time when the gains outweigh the losses. China needs Germany to break the international order, but it cannot take risks with Germany. The glorious mission of smashing the old era is left to the mustache, and China can just reap the benefits!
The Washington Conference finally ended, and the Chinese delegation returned with great honors. Media across the country began to report on a large scale the news that China had taken back its foreign privileges. From this moment on, China became completely independent and was no longer dominated by any country. The Chinese people truly became
My own master!
This change in international status can only be regarded as the icing on the cake. What really makes Qiao Yu happy is the change in China's domestic economy. China established steel, machinery, food, textile, coal, military and other industries during World War I.
So far in the late war, automobile, electric power, petrochemical, aviation, shipbuilding, electronics, chemical and other industries have been established during this period. The stalls have been spread, and China is getting closer and closer to having a complete industrial system!
People today may not be able to see this huge change clearly, but Qiao Yu knows very well the importance of the industrial system. Only with an industrial system can China truly become a world-class power. But building an industrial system
Not an easy thing!
The most basic requirement is to have enough labor force,
There must also be sufficient resources, and only a building large enough can accommodate these industrial enterprises. This alone excludes most countries in the world. Of course, these two points are not difficult for China.
What is also needed is continuous investment. The initial investment of heavy industry enterprises is very huge, and the results are very slow. Without a strong organization to promote high accumulation, this is simply not possible. This is why many so-called democratic countries in later generations cannot
Reasons to develop industry!
After these basic conditions are met, all that is left is to wait for the opportunity. It is inevitable for rising countries to learn experience and technology from their predecessors. However, if these predecessors do not encounter difficulties, they will not easily pass on their special skills.
of.
Half of China's current industrial system was obtained from Britain and France with the help of World War I, and the other was obtained from Germany before and after the war. Especially after the war, Germany became more generous. It not only handed over good technology to China, but also
It is possible to experiment with new technologies and research new processes in China. This time, this time should be entirely attributed to the cruel treatment of Germany by Britain and France. Germany lost 10% of its territory and 12% of its population in World War I, which was a heavy loss, especially
It was the Danze seaport in East Prussia that also fell into Polish hands, causing Germany's territory to become two parts!
This humiliation is unforgettable in Germany, so Germany is holding back its energy to take revenge. They transfer important military industries to China. Firstly, it is to preserve Germany's vitality. Secondly, Germany also hopes to try its best to control the huge China.
Armed and then let China shake the colonial order of Britain and France.
Relying on Germany's industrial transfer, China's industrial system has rapidly improved, but now there is still a fatal problem, that is, China's wealth is already empty!
Minister of Finance Jiang Yonggui and Central Bank Governor Wei Ruolan, the two gods of wealth, approached Qiao Yu and Jiang Yonggui was the first to speak. "Prime Minister, I'm here to report on the economic situation!" Jiang Yonggui said: "Prime Minister, this year our
The total income of workers and farmers can reach about 9 billion yuan, which is equivalent to more than 80% of Japan's. However, our agriculture accounts for about 70% of the total, while Japan is completely opposite to us. Their industry accounts for 60%.
Cheng or above, so our economic strength still lags behind Japan's, but our economic development speed is much faster than Japan's. It is expected that within five years, our industrial output value will be able to equal Japan's, and the total industrial and agricultural output value will be even more
Being able to surpass Japan is a huge achievement of our economic construction and deserves recognition.
However, our current difficulties are also very huge. According to the budget, our total fiscal revenue will reach 750 million yuan, but our expenditure will reach more than 830 million yuan, a gap of 80 million yuan, accounting for 50% of the fiscal revenue.
More than 10%, if it cannot be properly resolved, China's overall economy will be seriously affected!"
For such a huge fiscal deficit, Qiao Yu also has headaches. You must know that the fiscal deficit of the United States in later generations will not be so high, and the whole world will have to pay for it. China does not have this ability now, but if it does not engage in deficit finance, China
How to carry out large-scale construction!
"Minister Jiang, are there any current fiscal expenditures that can be cut?"
Jiang Yonggui shook his head: "Prime Minister, among these expenditures, 90 million is for compulsory education. This has been passed by Congress long ago. The remaining military expenditures are nearly 70 million, including developing the navy and supporting military industrial enterprises.
, build new defense lines, build permanent fortifications, support military industrial enterprises, no part can be missing! There is also 220 million in infrastructure construction costs, including railways, highways, waterways, and urban reconstruction of major cities, etc.
, there are also 60 million resettlement funds, 80 million dedicated funds for river management, and 43 million administrative funds. Apart from these, most of the other funds are heavy industry investment expenditures. We mainly support the southwest
Hydropower construction, the petrochemical industry in the northeast and northwest, as well as the shipbuilding industry, as well as steel, electronics, chemistry, etc., these have all been planned by the Prime Minister, which one do you think can be cut?"
When Qiao Yu heard this, he was also helpless. Indeed, no item could be reduced. On the contrary, he hoped to increase it significantly. However, financial difficulties were indeed placed in front of him. "Prime Minister, you
Let’s see if we can raise the agricultural tax. Now the people’s lives have almost recovered!”
Jiang Yongzui asked tentatively, if the fiscal budget cannot be reduced, then the only way to increase it is to increase taxes on farmers. This is because there are people in society who speak for various interest groups, but
There are few people who speak up for the peasants, so in the eyes of many rulers, the peasants are the best recipients of whatever they want!
Qiao Yu shook his head firmly and said: "Cutting agricultural taxes is an established policy. I have made a guarantee to the people across the country, and China's industrialization cannot be completed just by recruiting farmers!"
Only with a reasonable distribution of social wealth can the country ensure peace of mind to the greatest extent. Enriching the people and enriching farmers is an inevitable choice. However, if wealth is not obtained from farmers, how can the financial gap be filled?
Qiao Yu looked at Wei Ruolan and said, "President Wei, what do you think of making a fortune from the international financial market?"
