Chapter 3725 How can you stay under others for a long time?

The results of the Yonko's exercises were very good, but the game had just begun.

The focus of the game is to seize the ownership rights of the islands, the economic rights of trade, the right to speak out ideas, and the right to select talents. The competition for trade rights is the most direct, and everyone's feelings are the most obvious.

Trade rights include trade routes, tariffs, settlement currencies, etc.

For trade routes, Ace relies on the high speed of ocean currents. For tariffs, his goal is to establish a global market, but right now pirates and navies are still at odds with each other, blocking each other. For settlement currencies, Ace is promoting new currencies.

The Navy's Bailey has always been strong, but there are fewer and fewer things to buy. Even now, Wulaoxing has not printed money to solve the problem.

After all, they also know that printing money is fun for a while, but they have to pay it back in the future. Money is an IOU. The more you print, the more you have to pay back. If you don’t want to pay it back, there are two ways, one is to kill the creditor, the other is to disintegrate and let it go.

There is also the need to seize tariff advantages, such as the Imperial System of Preferences. This clause requires that goods purchased from the Empire have low tariffs, while goods imported from other countries, such as the U.S. imperialism, have high tariffs. This is a way to resist U.S. imperialism until the sun sets.

, protect their own goods through the imperial preferential system and prevent American imperial products from competing with themselves. Because most of the colonies are controlled by the sun, the imperial preferential system can ensure that most of the market is controlled by itself.

The American imperialists invested crazily in Germany and Japan after World War I. One of the reasons was because of the imperial preferential system. If the sun did not set and the market was not given to them, they could only invest in the defeated countries, which indirectly promoted the occurrence of World War II.

After World War II, the sun never set, unable to hold on any longer, and finally signed the Atlantic Charter, which recognized the equal trade qualifications of all countries in exchange for the support of the U.S. imperialists. As soon as the Atlantic Charter was signed, the U.S. imperialists immediately cut off relations with Japan and Germany.

support, and then came Pearl Harbor, and American imperialism stood in the same trench as the sun never sets.

After the Atlantic Charter, all countries trade equally. To put it bluntly, the market's tariffs on the sun and the US empire are the same. Then the advantage of the US empire's goods is reflected. The sun never sets is not an opponent at all, and it is finally going to set.

After the end of World War II, the Sun Never Sets began the Iron Curtain Speech again, ushering in the era of nuclear blackmail, asking all small countries to take sides. If you choose the capital camp, you will receive nuclear protection, if you choose others, you will accept the threat of nuclear bombs.

Accepting protection naturally comes at a price, that is, you have to accept the trade rules of a big country and do whatever it asks you to do. The market is divided between two camps, using ideology as a border to confront each other.

Overall, the old empires definitely have more advantages, whether in terms of education level, development level, or industrial level, and their development speed during the Cold War was faster.

The younger brothers in the former Soviet Union are even more backward and need a lot of resource output. Each younger brother needs money, energy, technology, and fertilizers. There are very few things that can feed the older brother back. The most they can do is shout slogans, build momentum, and economically be able to

There are very few feedbacks.

Unlike the old empire, the American empire can rely on its subordinates to produce cheap cars and cheap goods to support its own rules of the game. Although it is also very painful, at least it can sustain it.

None of the younger brothers in the former Soviet Union have the ability to produce cheap cars. Many of them are poor. The most they can do is produce raw materials and have no ability to produce cheap goods. On the contrary, the younger brothers still need the fertilizer support of the big brother to produce raw materials. For a long time, the big brother has also supported it.

I can't stand it, and I don't want to support it all the time.

The US emperor can use its own technology and market to exchange for cheap goods produced by its younger brother. However, the former Soviet Union produced its own goods in exchange for its younger brother's raw materials. It is impossible for the younger brother's raw materials to suddenly increase production, making the elder brother's goods unable to increase in value.

Maintain an awkward level of exchange.

However, after the price of the younger brother's goods increases, the American emperor can replace the younger brother to continue production, and even reap a wave of younger brother's development dividends to maintain cheap goods. Of course, the industry given to the younger brother will not be taken away, and the American emperor will not starve the younger brother to death.

, but if I want to go further, don’t even think about it. I will always be my little brother.

Therefore, some people say that the development of a certain big country in the East is due to the development of the US empire. It is completely wrong. The US empire needs a place to produce cheap goods, otherwise it will not be able to hold on. The opportunities that the US empire gives to its younger brothers are the same.

, in the end, Tokyo University was the only country that firmly seized the opportunity and completed a full set of industrialization in one go. However, other subordinates of the US empire were only responsible for part of the production and were unable to develop other industries. They were all controlled by the US empire.

U.S. imperialism needs Tokyo University, because with a stable world factory, U.S. imperialism’s game rules can be sustained and the economy can be stable.

Therefore, the American empire relies on constantly changing the origin of cheap goods, through domestic technological upgrading, and using less cost to collect more cheap goods, and its days are prosperous.

The former Soviet Union couldn't add value, so it was stuck here. The younger brother couldn't produce cheap goods, and its internal economy remained unchanged. After the war, living standards could improve, but as time went by, nothing changed, even if they were determined to develop light industry.

There is nothing you can do. Because this game is about heavy industry supporting the younger brother, who provides raw materials to continue heavy industry production, and no one is responsible for producing cheap goods.

Only when goods are abundant can the people of Qi be blessed. At that time, Guan Zhong unified the mountains and seas, unified tariffs, built roads, provided convenience for merchants, and opened women's houses to encourage consumption. The world's goods were concentrated in Qi, and everyone could buy what they wanted cheaply.

The idiom that only the things you want brings happiness to all people.

The U.S. imperialists continue to produce cheap goods through their subordinates, and through technological upgrading, they continue to exchange lower costs for more cheap goods, so they can become a beacon to the world.

The former Soviet Union obviously had no choice. Big Brother could not produce cheap goods on its own. Producing cheap goods required a large population, and Big Brother had no population. And even if the population was large enough, it could only produce cheap goods in exchange for a little bit of raw materials, not even a little bit.

It’s not cost-effective. The younger brother doesn’t have the ability to produce, and there is no infrastructure or education. As a result, the older brother doesn’t want the younger brother, but the younger brother doesn’t want the older brother.

In the final analysis, the foundation is still not good. No matter how much support Big Brother has, it is impossible to develop a complete education for the younger brother and transform the younger brother into an industrial worker immediately.

The old empires completed their education before the war. After the war, as long as they provide funds for technology, they can resume production immediately.

The only university in Tokyo that was determined to tighten its belt and pursue industrialization, but was unwilling to remain the younger brother, had a conflict with its big brother.

Of course, in fact, the island country does not want to be a junior brother all the time, so there is "Island Country Can Say No". Unfortunately, the market and technology of the island country belong to the US empire, and the island country is not irreplaceable. The US empire can also find other junior brothers to replace the island country's production status. As a result

The island nation said it would not fail.

Therefore, it is difficult to accept a younger brother. If the younger brother is not capable enough, he will only drag down the elder brother. If the younger brother is capable enough, how can a man live in depression for a long time? He will definitely have conflicts with the elder brother.

In short, it is the production arrangement of high value-added goods, cheap goods and raw materials.

The eldest brother definitely needs to master high value-added products, so that he can gain a niche and secure his position as the eldest brother. High value-added things can be exchanged for more cheap goods and raw materials, and people's lives can get better and better.

But the system for producing raw materials is different from that for producing cheap goods. Even cheap goods are part of industry, and workers need adequate education. This requires the younger brother to tighten his belt to promote it.

Who will produce the cheap goods? It must be the younger brother. This requires the younger brother to have the production ability, and it is difficult to control the younger brother who has this ability.

On the sea, the navy and pirates also have to face this arrangement. The navy has no problem because the division of labor among the world's franchised countries has already been arranged.

Ace needs to make new arrangements. If the arrangement is not good, people will be dissatisfied. People feel that the consequences of joining Ace are the same as joining the Navy, so why not join the Navy? So Ace also has to arrange carefully.

Without cheap goods, life will not be happy. But the question is who produces the cheap goods? Who is willing to produce countless socks a year and end up not even being able to exchange for a car?

Everyone likes to produce cars. A car can be used to change clothes, shoes, socks, and various small commodities, and everyone's life will be prosperous.

But cheap goods must be produced by someone. Without cheap goods, although they will not die of hunger, they will be lifeless.
