How long will this economic crisis last? No one knows, and Liu Fu doesn't have this memory in his mind. He only remembers that after Mustache came to power, Germany's domestic economy began to improve, and Mustache only started to improve in 1933 or 1934.
If he becomes Prime Minister, then this economic crisis will probably last until 2033 or 2034.
Compared with European and American countries, the South China Sea Federation has suffered the least impact from this economic crisis. This does not mean that the federation has the lowest degree of industrialization, but that the federation has a half-immortal like Liu Fu who can predict the future. Since the federal government has
It takes more than a year to prepare and adjust, so the means and effects of crisis response are much better.
However, having these means does not mean that the federal industrial exports will not be affected or be less affected. Now, crises have broken out in various countries around the world, and the market has shrunk. In addition, countries have begun to adopt trade protection measures and impose heavy taxes on imported goods.
, so in addition to special federal products such as pesticides, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and some electronic products, the export volume of other federal commodities has also dropped significantly, especially machinery products and steel products.
However, the federal government has a response plan and has begun to implement it. The protagonist of this plan is mainland China. Since the level of industrial development in mainland China is still very low, the main economy has not been seriously harmed by this economic crisis.
.And the original foreign forces have become
Having been suppressed by the federal government to a very weak point, it is impossible to grow again. Therefore, most of the import and export trade in mainland China is conducted through federal merchants. In this way, this country with huge consumption power
The market has fallen into the economic territory of the South China Sea Federation.
In order to make up for the federal export losses to Europe and the United States, the federal government and the Republic of China government launched an economic assistance plan. The main purpose of this plan was to increase the federal domestic commodity export volume and thereby reduce the number of federal enterprise suspensions and bankruptcies.
On the other hand, through this plan, mainland China will receive sufficient funds to accelerate its industrialization process and build its own industrial base.
Specifically, the South China Sea Federation invested in the construction of two railways running through the north and south in mainland China. One starts from Harbin and passes through Changchun, Shenyang, Jinzhou, Beijing, Tianjin, Jinan, Xuzhou, Nanjing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Fuzhou, etc.
The other one starts from Urumqi and passes through Lanzhou, Xi'an, Chongqing, Guizhou, Kunming and other places, all the way to Zhanjiang;
Not only the federal government, but the Republic of China government also had high expectations for the construction of such two extra-long railways. But they did not have so much funds to carry out such a large-scale construction, but the federal government did, and the two sides hit it off. Of course, the federal government
It was not for nothing that the government of the Republic of China built it.
For the construction of these two railways, although the federal government would not receive project funds from the Republic of China government in a short period of time, the Republic of China government promised to use the Shilu iron mine in Hainan Island and the shipping rights of the Yangtze River route to Wuhan as collateral to obtain a low-cost loan.
interest loan, so that the project can be ready to start.
As for why he wants to help mainland China build such a long railway line, this is not just out of Liu Fu's feelings for his own country, but mostly out of practical needs. Because to resist this economic crisis, demand must be increased, and
External exports are obviously no longer feasible, and there are not so many construction projects in the Federation, so we can only focus on China, which has a huge market.
Railways are not only a huge project, but also have a huge demand for rails, locomotives, and carriages. At present, China does not have the ability to produce such a number of qualified products, so the procurement of these materials will naturally
Fall on federal enterprises.
According to the budget of the Federal Ministry of Finance, if the construction of these two railways is officially started, the federal government will have to pay at least US$1.5 billion in loans to the Republic of China government in the first phase alone, and most of this US$1.5 billion will be used as railway tracks.
, building materials, engineering personnel wages and other forms will be returned to the federation. In this way, the federal steel mills will no longer worry about product sales, and cement plants, construction machinery factories, construction companies and other enterprises can also produce at full capacity.
, these companies were saved.
Once they regain their vitality, they will drive the recovery of a large number of downstream small and medium-sized enterprises. In this way, the federal unemployment rate will not increase significantly, and these are only some of the enterprises that directly benefit, and other enterprises that serve this project
They will also all benefit. In addition, after domestic companies in the federal government obtain the shipping rights of the Yangtze River route, it will also drive the development of the shipbuilding and shipping industries. In this way, at least within a few years, the federal government will no longer have to pay for factories.
Bankruptcy and workers are worried about unemployment.
In addition to building railways in mainland China, the federal government allocated another amount of funds and began to build railways and roads in the mining areas of Western Australia. At this time, the mining areas of Western Australia had expanded several times compared with the original size.
The 6 proven mining areas have all begun to enter the mining stage, and in the past few years, 4 new mining areas with large reserves have been discovered, but they have not yet entered the mining plan.
With the advent of the economic crisis, the price of steel has been falling, and continuing large-scale mining has become a money-losing business. However, the South Pacific Petroleum Mining Company did not withdraw those mining workers, but transformed some of them into road construction.
Workers began to build new buildings between the Southern Railway Port and various mining areas.
More roads and railways so that transportation capacity can be increased in the future. In addition, Liu Fu also built a railway directly from the Southern Railway Port to the vicinity of Perth according to his plan, providing free assistance to the state government for the South Pacific Petroleum and Mining Company.
Western Australia has no objections to the construction of railways and welcomes it with both hands and feet.
In addition to mainland China and Western Australia, the federal government also used its military cooperation relationship with the Soviet Union to sell some mechanical products, steel, and grain to the Soviet Union. However, the federal government did not provide any loans to the Soviet government.
Because Liu Fu could not trust them, all transactions were in cash and no credit was allowed.
Finally, the federal government also turned its attention to its little brother, the heterochromatic army, which has too much money to spend. It is currently fighting with 3 or 4 surrounding countries. A small war takes three days, and a big war takes five days.
The battle not only consumes a lot of ammunition, but also the equipment is updated very quickly.
Originally, the Federation was afraid of causing dissatisfaction with the local British and French forces, so many heavy weapons were not sold to the heterochromatic forces. But now with the advent of the economic crisis, what can be easier to stimulate economic recovery than fighting and selling weapons, so a large number of
Federal tanks, howitzers, automatic rifles, submarines, and destroyers have all begun to enter the heterochromatic people's purchase list.
The heterochromatic army armed with these weapons can be said to be temporarily invincible, at least in the West Asian landmass. The Federation not only sold weapons, but also equipped the heterochromatic army with a sufficient number of instructors. Of course, the salary has to be calculated separately.
With the support of these instructors and federal weapons, the heterochromatic army, which originally had the upper hand, immediately began to kill gods and kill Buddhas as if it had used a big move.
From the beginning of 1930 to 1931, it took less than a year for the heterochromatic army to advance 60 kilometers eastward and completely occupy the West Bank area originally occupied by Jordan. Then they advanced northward from the coastal areas.
traveled 40 kilometers and occupied southern Lebanon.
District. This is not over yet. The heterochromatic people are on fire. They plan to vent all the suffering they have suffered for thousands of years. If the federal government hadn't stopped them desperately, the heterochromatic army would have planned to use an armored weapon.
division and two infantry divisions to occupy the entire Sinai Peninsula within a month.
When this idea was brought up by the people from Yi Se Lie, Liu Fu was so frightened that he quickly called the mathematician Prime Minister from Yi Se Lie. He finally persuaded them to commit suicide. If Yi Se Lie went there at this time,
If they touch the Sinai Peninsula, the British will definitely rush over like crazy and kill the heterochromatic people, because there is another lifeline for Britain, the Suez Canal. (To be continued...)
