Most of the small countries in the Naruto world are in the middle of the big countries, separating the territories of the big countries from each other. Anyone with a little bit of brains can realize that these countries are basically leftovers between the big countries.
In the strategic buffer zone, the names and people of small countries also know that their country has no future at all, and it is impossible to develop a counterattack.
In this case, it is better to enjoy the dividends of the times. Although the dumping of industrial products is the exploitation and plunder of workers, from a fundamental point of view, it still improves the overall living standards of the small country. Perhaps the elite class has improved even more.
More, the amount of improvement that civilians can achieve is pitifully small, but in a situation where there is absolutely no future and no future, it is enough to live a better life. As for how much money others make by selling industrial products, does it matter?
The first to fall was the Kingdom of Sichuan, which was closest to the Kingdom of Rain. This country's land area was larger than the Kingdom of Rain and the Kingdom of Grass combined, but its status was still a strategic buffer zone, located between the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Wind.
Time is just slightly better than the Kingdom of Rain.
Now the fighting power of the Kingdom of Rain is gradually getting stronger. If there is a battle between the two countries in the future, it will probably happen on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Sichuan. In fact, in the original work, when Scorpion captured Gaara, the battlefield was released
In the country of Sichuan, he eventually died there.
Such an unlucky country with a fate that doesn't even have its own shinobi village has been left to be ravaged by the two major powers. Now it is facing the economic invasion of its northern neighbor. It has no intention of resisting at all, but is enthusiastic
Invite the Country of Rain to lay railways into its own country and help its country build power and chakra networks.
As for the issue of sovereignty, whether your country will be technically controlled in the future is not important at all. What the rulers of this country want is to allow themselves and their citizens to live a more comfortable life as soon as possible.
need.
There have certainly been monarchs in history who were ambitious and worked hard to govern, but most of these people died suddenly after catching cold. It can only be said that they were jealous of their talents, and they were definitely not assassinated by ninjas because they might threaten the status of a great country.
.
The Kingdom of Sichuan has almost fully accepted Akatsuki's domestic construction. This has also stimulated domestic economic development, provided a large number of jobs, and brought the national strength of the Kingdom of Sichuan into full play.
Although the small country survives in the cracks, the domestic population is actually quite large. A cruel fact is that in a small country like the Rain Country, each family has an average of six to seven children.
By the time they reached adulthood, there were usually only three or four, and this was still an era when wars were less frequent.
Many families treat children like a gamble. No matter what, they always need a few children to survive to adulthood, otherwise their lineage will be extinct, so they must have as many children as possible.
As for the elderly, few old people can die in a small country. Therefore, most people in a small country are actually young adults. As long as there are labor positions, it is easy to organize and carry out large-scale project construction.
With the support of Akatsuki's technology, the country of Sichuan prospered at an incredible speed. After a large number of citizens obtained jobs, they gained enough wealth to maintain a relatively prosperous life, and were able to purchase various new industries that appeared on the market.
The quality and prosperity do not look like a country that has experienced years of war.
After seeing the rapid development of the Kingdom of Sichuan, the country that followed closely was the Kingdom of Tang. This country is actually quite far from the Kingdom of Rain. It is on the east side of the Kingdom of Fire, between the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Thunder.
strategic buffer zone.
However, because of its long and narrow territory, a considerable part of it is located in the hinterland of the Country of Fire. Therefore, during the war, only the northern part of the country will be invaded by the war. In addition, the Country of Tang is completely flat and has no intention of making any resistance at all.
On the contrary, the environment is relatively good, and the hot springs scattered throughout the country make it a holiday destination.
It can be regarded as a country that has no ambitions but knows how to enjoy it. Therefore, even if it is separated from the Fire Country, the Country of Tang still imports a large amount of goods from the Country of Rain, because the power grid cannot be laid across the Country of Fire into its own country.
Directly inviting Akatsuki experts to come to their own country for surveying and mapping, and building power plants and chakra mining equipment in their country can be said to be a comprehensive introduction of foreign technology, not caring that doing so will lead to the complete suppression of related domestic industries.
Facing the two countries that have gradually become prosperous, the small countries among the major countries have chosen to follow suit. Anyway, they themselves have no future, so they must first prosper domestically, so that now the Rain Country is in an international situation.
The terminal position of chemical production.
It began to imitate a certain country and gradually put labor-intensive industries in other small countries. If it is a high-tech industry, other countries will produce parts and be responsible for the final assembly. Of course, this is actually a helpless move and is not what Xiao wants.
Citizens avoid working and transfer their labor rights and responsibilities to other countries, but the domestic population is indeed limited. If everyone is involved in any industry, the labor gap will be too big.
And doing so means that the Country of Rain provides other small countries with not only products, but also helps them establish related industrial chains and provides a large number of labor positions, which makes the originally depressed small countries gradually become prosperous.
This kind of prosperity is naturally seen by the citizens of the five major countries. However, except for the Kingdom of Thunder, which has signed an agreement and is not allowed to collect tariffs during the trade process, the other major countries have imposed heavy taxes on products exported to their countries.
And strictly restricted Akatsuki from sending personnel to interfere with their domestic construction.
This kind of move actually made the citizens very dissatisfied. Even the most prosperous Fire Nation, the living standards of its citizens at this time have gradually fallen behind those of the surrounding small countries.
The people are calling on Daimyo and Kage not to continue to be insular and to accept foreign technology.
However, Daimyo also has a hard time explaining that other people’s technology is not something you can just take. Even if they hand over the technology to you intact, how do you know there is no backdoor? Even if there is really no backdoor, you
How do you know what problems have been encountered in the process of technology development? If you don’t know how to solve problems in the industrial chain established by these problems, which direction should the future industrial upgrading take, and how to try, you will be blind to foreign technologies.
