Chapter 573 Daheng has its own national conditions here!
At present, among the Blue Star countries, Daheng's industrial scale is actually not small, after all, the land area, resources and population are there.
In terms of industrial scale alone, it is actually relatively large. Even if it is affected by the melee between feudal lords and towns, Daheng's internal market demand alone is enough to maintain a large-scale industrial system.
However, this industrial system is very backward, especially in terms of civilian industrial products. The technology of various products lags behind Blue Star and other first-class powers by several levels, and does not even have second-rate technical standards. The reason why these backward civilian industrial systems are still alive, then
It is purely because all the vassals and towns in Daheng generally adopt official-merchant capitalism and trade protection policies, and will not easily let industrial goods from other states and counties, let alone other countries, enter their territory.
As for other countries that in turn impose a trade blockade on Daheng, Daheng has all the internal resources and markets. It basically does not rely on international trade to survive. The only major export commodity is food.
And even if grain was exported, it was during the period of civil strife in the feudal towns. In order to raise military expenses, the feudal towns looted grain and then exported it in exchange for funds.
Now Lin Ziran does not engage in large-scale grain exports in exchange for funds, so the volume of grain exports has dropped significantly, and grain is needed all over the world. If you don't import it, countries that are short of grain will naturally import it, and it is even necessary.
Sometimes, you can also use grain exports in exchange for more benefits.
In the past two years, Nanhai Prefecture has also newly exported some kerosene and weapons. Kerosene is also a commodity without competitors. Other countries have not yet discovered large-scale oil fields. If they want to use cheap kerosene, they have to
Find someone from Daheng to import it.
In addition, a very important point is that even the export volume of kerosene is getting smaller and smaller. Last month, only a thousand barrels of kerosene were exported, and they were exported to the nearby Kingdom of Dana in the south.
This is not because other countries refuse to import kerosene, but the kerosene production capacity here in Nanhai Prefecture is also limited. With the expansion of domestic control areas, internal sales are also increasing. Qingshan Petroleum Company now produces about 40,000 barrels per month.
The kerosene left and right is basically used to supply Daheng's internal market, and it is not even enough.
It is no longer enough to produce and sell at home, and it doesn’t matter whether we export or not.
As for weapons and equipment, they are only exported to the Kingdom of Orr. The Kingdom of Orr is a very special country, surrounded by enemies. Other big countries have no good impressions of this kingdom, and they have been thinking about annexing it to occupy the gold.
.
Except that Nanhai Prefecture can buy 10,000-ton armored ships with rear-mounted guns, it really can't buy such a large amount of advanced weapons and equipment elsewhere.
Grain, kerosene, and weapons are currently the only three main export commodities of Daheng. However, these three export commodities are very special. Even except for weapons, the export quantities of grain and kerosene are gradually declining, so now the entire
Daheng’s external exports are actually very limited.
Exports are limited, especially exports of ordinary civilian industrial products are almost zero, and Daheng does not import much agricultural and livestock products, ore, or industrial products from other countries, so Daheng naturally does not care much about trade blockades from other countries.
Category.
There is no trade at all, so why blockade it?
It is also thanks to the trade protection policies and official capital policies of Daheng Town that Daheng can now maintain a civilian industrial system that is of reasonable scale but seriously backward in technology.
Relatively speaking, the defense industry system is much better. After all, the defense industry is used by feudal towns to fight wars, grab territory, and maintain rule. If the technology is too poor, others will kill it, so many feudal towns pay more attention to national defense technology.
developed.
But even so, even if all the defense industry technologies in Daheng are integrated, the technical level will only be at the end of the first-class level. Instead, some basic technologies, such as materials, processing techniques, etc., have a relatively large impact compared with other powerful countries.
difference.
Now that breech-loading guns have come out, even the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau knows how to imitate and mass-produce them, not to mention other first-class powers. With their deeper technical foundation, these first-class powers will be able to complete it very soon.
The imitation production of breech-loaded weapons went even further, and finally completed the surpassing of the Daheng United Army.
Naturally, Lin Ziran couldn't let this happen!
Therefore, although the domestic war of unification is not over yet, Lin Ziran is already considering the follow-up upgrade of the army and navy's weapons and equipment. The navy has the Unification armored ship, and the army has Luoan IV rifles, a new type of
New equipment such as the 150mm field gun and the new 75mm field gun.
Strictly speaking, these weapons and equipment are not prepared for domestic unification wars, but for subsequent foreign wars.
As for why you should start preparing anxiously now!
Daheng has its own national conditions here!
The country has not yet been unified, and there are countless people among the people who are clamoring to send their troops southward after unification. They will first deal with the two traitors, the Tanner Kingdom and the Cassi Kingdom, and then continue southward to the Orissa Empire to completely control the Endless Strait.
Then seize countless territories of the Orissa Empire and obtain more land for the Daheng people.
This is not public opinion propaganda created by Lin Ziran for his own unification war, but a spontaneous public opinion among the people.
After the Daheng people were unified, they expanded outwards. This is a thousand-year-old tradition. Anyone who knows a little bit about the history of the Daheng people will know that. The Daheng people themselves know it, and people from other countries on the Blue Star also know it.
Nowadays, I don’t know how many people in Daheng, especially the second sons of peasant families who are eager to get their own land, and the second sons of powerful people who are eager to make contributions, are all waiting agonizingly for Lin Ziran to unify the empire and expand abroad!
Similarly, many countries are now nervously preparing for war!
Among many countries, the Six-Nation Alliance in the north and the Orissa Empire in the south are the most fearful of the reunification of Daheng.
Lin Ziran had just launched the Northern Expedition, and the six northern alliances had already reached a new agreement on military preparations. Countries within the alliance began to increase the number of troops stationed in the 'West Sea Corridor' in the southern part of Qushan Kingdom, and jointly funded the renovation of the West Sea Corridor.
line of defense, making it more suitable for defending against breech-loaded rifled weapons.
The Orissa Empire in the south began to send troops to the Kingdom of Danner to assist the Kingdom of Danner in building a land defense line. It also had frequent contact with the Northern Six-Nation Alliance in an attempt to form a true strategic alliance with the Northern Six-Nation Alliance against Daheng's strategic alliance.
.
At the same time, within the Orissa Empire, a new phase of army and navy expansion plans have been announced.
This includes investing in the construction of multiple 10,000-ton warships, expanding the number of standing armies, and strengthening reserve forces.
They want to further enhance the strength of the army and navy to dispel the idea of those damn barbaric Daheng people trying to launch a second southern invasion.
