Chapter 161 Hai Song's Melancholy
If it were not forbidden to be the case, the Evolutionary Officer would not want to fight an ideological war with Hai Song at all. In order to gather the country's enthusiasm for industrialization, the goal must be unified in thought. Hai Song has evacuated all experts and stopped technical assistance, so Zhao Weiguo and other Evolutionary Officers could only rely on the technical personnel of this country. Therefore, the ideological war appeared.
However, Hai Song actually unconsciously started an ideological war. The elders of Hai Song did not think of a military contest with the Republic at the beginning. The voice of Hai Song was purely watching the Republic's industrial strength progress recently and preparing to take advantage of the eye. Hai Song's current strategic goal is not Asia, nor has the time to consume national strength in Asia and the Republic.
The first five-year plan in 171 was to complete the Republic's steel production to reach 6 million tons. The huge industrial achievements gradually turned the worries of the elder Hai Song into reality. The Republic currently has no intention of war, but just walking towards the strength step by step steadily, the aura brought to this world is definitely an epic shock.
However, in this era, Haisong's annual steel output was only maintained at 7 million tons. If the next five-year plan is completed, a reversal may occur simply in terms of total industrial volume. However, this industrial capacity is not considered industrialization in the Republic's self-evaluation. The Republic's national planning is calculated based on per capita. The Republic's own people calculate per capita, but the elders of Haisong are not so stupid as to calculate per capita. The Republic is far from being over-industrial, and a large amount of steel is piled up on railways and machinery manufacturing. The military equipment is only an experimental accumulation technology. There is no large-scale equipment.
However, it was such an army that looked backward and seemed to be very weak, which made Mr. Hai Song feel unsure. The army that war a few years ago was so impressive. If there were fewer soldiers, they would definitely be punished. If there were too many soldiers, they would be defeated. If it was defeated again, it would be a war of attrition and finally the loss of soldiers and the generals were driven out, Hai Song would really not be able to bear it.
In this way, it seems that the only way to incite countries around the Republic to fight the proxy war, but at this time, Mr. Hai Song looked around and saw that no country on the entire East Asian coast had the ability to provoke the Republic's power in the East Asian continent. Therefore, they could only use radio to harass them.
However, the Republic's reaction was also violent, and it was obvious that it was wrong to catch dozens of its own media, such as the Presidential Palace of Haisong could freely march to express opinions. As a result, these media could not provide official evidence from Haisong, and Haisong court would not give this evidence at all, because once it was given, it would be a provocation to the Senate. As a result, within a month, the Republic tried several forty-two Haisong media and marked them as illegal media.
Immediately afterwards, the Anti-Secession Law was promulgated, redefining the position of Hainan and Taiwan. This clearly shows the path of openly confronting Haisong completely. The lonely elders in charge of mainland infiltration were unexpected. People were all Zhizi suspected of neighbors. If the relationship between Haisong and the Republic was stable, Haisong's infiltration department could influence public opinion. However, now dozens of Haisong's media have become synonymous with reactionary media in the Republic. All propaganda is counterproductive.
The people of the two countries are hostile to each other. When technological and economic exchanges are completely cut off, it is like an iron curtain hanging down in the Asia-Pacific. The elders of Haisong have already heard the smell of the Cold War. However, the protagonist of this Cold War will be the republic with territory covering the entire Asia, while the free camp will be Haisong.
The Republic is far from comparable to the Soviet Union, and Hai Song is not the United States, and it is about to face a fatal shortage. In the Redwood Office, an intellectual woman carefully reviews the information. This is the female veteran of the Senate Church, Gu Duo Sheng, who is referred to as Gu Duo Yuan, for short. She controls Hai Song's intelligence department.
Now in his office, he strictly analyzes the development of the future world situation according to data. He put down a stack of documents and the lonely veteran pushed his glasses to Liu Yiming who had been waiting for a long time: "If the Cold War is in progress, we should lose in the current situation."
Liu Yiming asked with a skeptical look: "Why? We have more resources than them, and our technology is more developed than them." Gu Du Shengnan said: "Population." Liu Yiming said disapprovingly: "The Cold War should last for decades. We have been blocking their markets, and our population will grow."
Gu said: "We can block their markets by one, but the blockade will never reach the end, and the end of their collapse will eventually be. The population of our institute is the industrial population. The Cold War relies on the industrial population. Whoever has enough industrial population will know who can laugh to the end in this industrial race. As the upper limit of the total population of Australia as the industrial center will never reach the level of the East Asian continent. That land has the potential to support one billion people. Australia will never be able to do it."
Australia, Lonely Become Man is only counted in Australia, and the population in other places is not included. There are only three types of transportation in this world, with the largest sea freight volume, but the slowest speed, the fastest air freight rate, but the transportation cost cannot be used as normal transportation at all. The rest belongs to railways.
Through the ocean, the control of major colonies around the world is by sea transportation, and its control is by no means comparable to that of Beijing over Guangdong. In this era, if someone in Guangzhou wants to be independent, the mainland country Beijing may not have to wait for a day if the troops head south along the railway, and the troops from surrounding provinces can come directly.
This control power is by no means comparable to the control of the colonies by the marine empire. In this era, industry is not just about economy or force. If the Western Regions suddenly become abundant in groundwater and make the Western Regions a zone that can accommodate 300 million people, the capital will migrate to Lanzhou the next day, forming an industrial center centered in the Western Regions. The reason why Beijing can become the capital is that there are huge grain-producing areas in Northeast China and a large number of people can be industrialized. This is just the impact of the large-scale rise of industry in a certain place within the cluster of mainland countries on the positioning of the political center.
For marine countries like Haisong, if industrialization is emerging in South Africa, once local regional sentiment arises, and they are both powerful and willing, it is possible for local governments to challenge the authority of the central government. Therefore, in politics, Shanghai Song will never allow major colonies across the ocean to do their own things. Once there is no economic demand for the central government, regionalization in various places will begin to form, and the sun will not set Haisong will collapse.
So now, if we want to count the industrial population, we can only count the Australian where Mr. Hai Song is located, and we only dare to count it as Australian. Of course, before the East Asian continent was industrialized, Mr. Hai Song felt that it was still good. After all, the world and Europe were divided, and the Ming Dynasty in Asia was stagnant and did not die.
But now Hai Song is unsure. The resource blockade occupies the entire Asian continent and the Middle East countries directly bordering the Western Regions. There is no resource problem in China in the Rendi plane. In terms of industrial population, it occupies the richest place in East Asia, and in the future it can raise a full warm area of precipitation. This place is definitely a treasure house of industrialized human resources. There is no such thing as only 300 million people. The Soviet Union attaches too much importance to heavy industrial competition, and the result is that the development of light industry cannot be supported in the human resource allocation, and development is unbalanced. Such a country provides Hai Song with an unsolvable problem in this world.
According to the analysis of the elders of Hai Song, the more they analyze it, the more they become. Even if they have technical advantages now, as long as the Republic continues like this, it will sooner or later break through Hai Song's technical barriers. At that time, it will not be blocking the issue of maintaining the Cold War confrontation, but talking about the issue of world hegemony under the witness of the truth.
The only way to break through the deadlock and avoid the setting of the sea and Song sunset is to change a core area, a core area that can accommodate a large number of industrial populations. At that time, the world order is regulated with the Republic. Establishing order is just to make peace, not confrontation. As long as the East maintains a rational and clear goal, it is a time of prosperity. Foreign forces cannot challenge the industrial population power of one billion people. There will be no single-nation country in the world that will become such a person. You can technology be the primary productive force, but technology is progressive, and technological progress is driven by workers step by step. To promote technological progress by more people than fewer people is to be faster and easier.
Hai Song's elders stood in the future and analyzed the answers that had already happened in the future. The collapse of the empire of the Sun-Don't Set, the rise of world hegemony and the challenges encountered in the New Rome. Liu Yiming looked at the serious report and slowly said: "The great power of destiny is the great power of destiny." Liu Yiming's expression was complicated, because Liu Yiming was originally the imperial Han Dynasty. When the destiny of the republic rose, it was exactly what he called the imperial Han Dynasty thought. However, he was also the old man of Hai Song. In the future, under the full competition of the industrial power of Hai Song, major colonies may have centrifugal conditions due to the economic problems arising from competition. At that time, it is very likely that the Hai Song Republic will evolve into the Hai Song Federation.
Liu Yiming said: "It seems that we still have to fight the North American war." The lonely elder continued to pour cold water on the cold water channel: "With competition with such an opponent, war will be launched in other places. Although this war is to improve the potential of our country, it will weaken our national strength during the war. If the Republic launches war on Hainan Island and Taiwan Island at this time, we are very likely to have a very dangerous situation."
Liu Yiming said: "What is your suggestion?" Gu Du Shengnan said: "The military was broken a few years ago, and at this stage it is impossible to come up with a feasible combat plan against the Republic. Since the steps of the Republic cannot be interrupted, I will stabilize them first. They have no current trends to attack Taiwan and Hainan, so we can only put aside the disputes first. These two areas were rented to the Ming Dynasty. In terms of sovereignty, they argued with the Dongming regime in legal terms. I do our business and do not express my opinion. Resuming exchanges with the Republic in economic and technological terms, establishing economic ties and reducing the risk of war."
Liu Yiming said: "Appeasement?" Gu Du Shengnan said, "We must do this before the risk of our collapse is eliminated. We exchange economic and technical assistance for their low investment in military equipment."
Liu Yiming said: "But if we do this, the technological gap between us and them will be quickly chased. It will take at least fifty years to capture the Americas and turn it into a core industrial area."
