Chapter 277 Choosing War

In the center of the spacious living room around the corner of the corridor, a strong man sat quietly on Changsha. As soon as Zhong Yang appeared from the end of the corridor, he slowly turned around and fully exposed his hidden face with a questionable gaze.

Three weeks have passed since visiting Liuzhou Heavy Industry Development Zone, and the scale of the press conference is also very large. Many foreign journalists have also come here to conduct a series of reports on this new heavy industry base that is emerging here.

The eyes of the great powers began to face the existence of Hualian. Some people have even begun to think about what changes the continued development of Hualian will bring to the situation in China. It is even likely that it will have a profound impact on the political, economic and military situation in East Asia in the future.

The decoration in the room is very simple: two closets placed close to the wall, a mahogany square table with four chairs, and some exquisitely crafted porcelain is placed in the cabinet grid.

Chen Jiongming looked at these valuable antiques with admiration, and he knew some of them, but most of them had only heard of them but had not actually seen them. Here, he finally feasted his eyes, and at the same time he was also sighing at Zhong Yang's wealth and amazing power.

The most spacious part of the house is firmly occupied by an expensive and wide leather sand. The floor is also covered with thick Arabian cashmere blankets with complex patterns and bright colors, giving the skin the softest and most comfortable touch.

The two of them were just in front of the sand, and a huge three-dimensional screen with a length of about 30 inches was embedded on the surface of the wall. Several black wires connected the screen with the DV player placed on the cabinet next to them, and some pictures about military production were played in the LCD monitor.

On the right side of Zhong Yang's body, there was a remote control that had just pressed the pause button, a cup of Coke that was obviously added with ice, and a pack of pastries that fell on the table and the floor, emitting a rich buttery aroma.

Chen Jiongming held a newspaper in his hand, and the word "Tianxia" was written on the page with vigorous pen force. It was a newspaper opened by Jie Minghong and had a lot of say in the news affairs within Hualian.

"Mr. Zhong, is it appropriate to let a British reporter report on our own military-industrial enterprise like this?" Chen Jiongming looked strong and dressed in a well-fitting Hanfu. He looked upright and upright, which made people feel at first sight.

Zhong Yang, who was sitting opposite him, was also wearing a carefully crafted Han dress. He was plain white in color, with black collar and cuffs, and mysterious patterns embroidered with gold thread. Facing Chen Jiongming's question, the face that looked very young with a faint smile.

"Mr. Jingcun, showing strength and showing weakness are also political means. We must let some people understand the current strength of the Chinese army, even if some secrets are exposed, it will be spared."

The air outside is filled with humid sea breeze, and the entire southeast coastal area is filled with heat waves. But here in Chuncaotang, the quiet cool palace seems cool and comfortable.

The ancient Chinese technology is really admirable. It is the condensation of wisdom and skills, radiating dazzling brilliance.

This cool palace is built beside the water, and uses water circulation to push the fan wheel to rotate, slowly sending the cool air from the water into the house. Not only that, various flowers are arranged around the reservoir and hall, making the cold wind fragrant and fragrant. The cooling effect is as good as entering winter.

In the hot summer, in such a refreshing and comfortable environment, I talk about the current situation with literati and scholars. How happy it is.

Al, a reporter from the UK, was studying Chinese hard and staying in the military factory in Liuzhou for more than half a month, which made him eager to learn Chinese. Because of many communications, it is unrealistic to rely solely on translation and does not meet his work needs as a reporter.

The first report caused a roar of noise in China, especially the ** army forces stationed in Jiangxi, Hunan and Fujian. They were surprised by the Chinese army's military production capacity, and even the Japanese troops far away in the Manchuria and Mongolia region began to send frequent calls to the country.

In the design and production of armored vehicles, the things written by the World Daily alone have already caught up with the advanced level of Europe. In the construction of the army, Japan, which is known as the largest country in East Asia, has fallen behind.

The Japanese Army, which still advocates the meat bomb charge tactic and lacks armored vehicles, has made some visionary military generals in Japan feel worried.

He put down the newspaper in his hand and turned a deaf ear to the top-secret information that was being played on the LCD TV screen. He just reminded Zhong Yang carefully: "With our current overall strength, it is not enough to provoke any powerful country, especially Japan, which is close to you."

"I know, it is certainly not enough to rely on what you see in your hands. Only after you officially join the association will some blocked information be made public to you, and you will understand where our confidence is."

Zhong Yang's eyes shone with confidence, and he could not understand what the other party was worried about. Even if he achieved an overwhelming victory in weapon quality, if it angered this crazy country, then Hualian would face unimaginable terrible revenge.

According to the analysis of the information sent back by the intelligence spies sent to Japan, Zhou Hua believes that Japan's strength is still in a stage of shrinking. Although Japan under the jurisdiction of the Political Association, although it still shows its greedy fangs, it is essentially inclined to be economically built and recuperated.

The national strength consumption caused by the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 has not yet been fully recovered, not to mention that the upcoming global economic crisis has quietly landed in Japan.

There are 14 standing divisions in Japan, with more than 200,000 troops. This is even an army that is not satisfied with the full organization, with a full organization of 300,000 people.

Due to the impact of the economic crisis, Japan could only barely maintain this small-scale armed force. This number is about one-tenth of the total number of Chinese troops in the same period, and one-half of the size of the Central Army of the ** Party.

The number of registered troops in Hualian itself is only more than 215,000, just like the current Japan. In terms of army organization, the Chinese army's weapons, equipment and logistics supplies are above any elite division in Japan.

However, this comparison is meaningless, because the mobilization ability and war potential of the two are not the same concept at all.

The Taisho period was a period of peaceful development in Japan. Japan only maintained a small amount of military power, and most of its financial resources were used to develop and repay debts. However, in any case, the standing army retained by Japan were the elite among the elite, and there was no comparison with the millions of people in the ** Army.

Even the Chinese army itself, the veterans who have participated in actual combat are less than one-tenth of that of Japan. Military wars cannot be achieved simply by stacking equipment. Military morale, strategy and tactics, military quality, and weapon supply are all potential factors that must be considered.

Once a large-scale war breaks out, Japan will soon start mobilizing war machines. There is no problem in mobilizing and equiping millions of troops in a short period of time. Of course, the lack of resources is certain, but there is absolutely no problem in occupying the three northeastern provinces in a short period of time.

In comparison, China is still in a warlord melee, and almost all major warlords are in a state of mobilization. It is certain that military strength exceeds Japan on the surface, but the actual potential for war can be tapped is basically zero, and its strength is on the table.

In naval construction, Hualian's own fleet is still quite different from the other side. Even if it has powerful weapons and equipment such as anti-ship missiles, Zhong Yang is unwilling to use the future of the entire Hualian to get angry with Japan, which is bound to enter madness and destruction.

The emergence of missiles will inevitably attract the covetousness of everyone and will make itself the target of all the powerful countries in the world. In order to obtain this technology, these greedy imperialist regimes will launch an attack on China without hesitation.

Even if it is not direct intervention, supporting some warlord forces in the territory is enough to put Hualian in trouble. Therefore, Zhong Yang is unwilling to take such a risk before the necessary moment. He must wait for the super war that affected the whole world, because at that time, the crazy war was enough to bury many secrets.

Occupying a southeastern corner of China, Hualian has a rich geographical environment and has the capital to dominate the world compared to the Central Plains, which are in the four battles.

No matter who it is, you must first have a solid rear, a base for stable development, so that such a regime can be stable. Continuous wars and continuous fighting with others will only ruin your future.

In history, Jiang Ruiyuan was a tragedy. No matter how many insults and abuses those ignorant red fen have, the ** army did consume their vitality because of the war with Japan, and eventually lost in hatred and was captured by a group of mud legs.

In this time and space, Zhong Yang is much luckier than Jiang Ruiyuan. With a smart factory, he can effectively establish his own power no matter where he is. Instead of having to go back to his hometown and find acquaintances to help him, he does not have to choose to return to his hometown and find acquaintances to help.

Although Jinling is good and has the foundation of becoming a king, it has to face threats from the ocean and is attacked on three sides on land. There is really no stable blood transfusion for the front line.

Hualian's days are slowly passing through the comfortable environment. The large-scale refugee wave has come to an end. Capital merchants who have obtained a large amount of cheap labor are all smiling. These are human resources that can be used for almost two years without compensation, and will create countless wealth for some product manufacturers with simple technology.

But not everything is moving in a direction that is beneficial to oneself. The Great Depression in history, the grave dug by this market economy itself, is destroying the fate of the vast majority of people.

The ancient Chinese Association has now been purified and is no longer the organizer of a compound conference, but is only discussing key scientific and technological, cultural development, and the distribution of interests of major strategies.

Generally speaking, members will attend special meetings held by ** according to their needs. Instead of the past model, all members will participate in the audit and make decisions in everything.

The increasingly complex organizational structure has made the methods that seemed quite efficient in the past no longer applicable. Some core members in organizations are also setting up their own association institutions, recruiting more vassals, and forming their own joint forces.

The Hualian Trade Association is a comprehensive trade organization that protects the interests of its members in foreign economic activities. In this association, there are even permanent officials sent by the Hualian official, responsible for handling some politically involved trade frictions.

The golden autumn October, which symbolizes harvest and joy, does not bring a happy mood to the capital businessmen who are working. Like the hot climate that has not completely subsided, the atmosphere here seems a bit depressing and dull, and many people are wiping the sweat that keeps coming out of their foreheads.

Standing on the stage, Gu Yuejun in gorgeous clothes was reciting the economic report he held in his hand loudly. The contents of it made people quite pessimistic. The consumption boom for several consecutive years is now fading. As the two large funds of Longteng and Zhongtian, he has a great say in the economy.

The wide circular conference hall accommodates nearly a thousand businessmen from different industries. Looking at their clothes and all the Han Chinese uniforms, you can tell that they are the main force in Hualian's business field.

According to the Longteng Foundation's estimate, the Western world is about to usher in an unprecedented global economic crisis. A large amount of debt and overproductivity, as well as the deteriorating consumption environment, will become a vicious cycle that ruins the entire capital world.

Except for a few economic oligarchs, no one can survive the economic depression with corpses everywhere.

The strong Tianyu Group and Xinghua News Agency are relatively different from China itself. The economic strength of the Jewish financial chaebols that have been deeply rooted in Europe and have been developing for hundreds of years.

Because of this, Hualian is also a victim of this economic crisis.

Compared with the internally tired economic atmosphere and low purchasing power consumption groups, no matter which manufacturer they are, their main customers are abroad.

Especially in the three major markets of the United Kingdom, the United States and France, the people there have digested more than 85% of Hualian's products. If they encounter an economic crisis, with the current social situation of Hualian, there is no time to expand domestic demand.

It is meaningless to blindly give workers high wages. Because more than 90% of the population is not in the industrial production state. Cultivating a qualified technical worker requires many things to be improved, among which long-term compulsory education is the most critical link.

No capitalist can give economic benefits in advance before these workers create high value.

Without external market demand, the enthusiasm of capitalists to continuously expand their production team will only decrease. Even if Hualian takes out its own economic reserves and distributes it to the people, it is just a drinking poison to quench thirst. Such actions will only encourage the temperament of being lazy and edible.

Therefore, in order to cope with the upcoming wave impact, Hualian's business community must join forces to strengthen its ability to resist strikes. To survive this crisis full of silence and fear, everyone must do their best to prepare for the future.

During the meeting, Zhong Yang also attended the meeting, he chose an inconspicuous corner to watch the progress of things. The venue was spaciously arranged, with the central podium located at the core, and the audience climbed upward in a fan-shaped step-shaped manner.

The unique amplification equipment allows Gu Yuejun's slightly gentle and low male voice to quickly spread to every corner of the venue. The conference hall, which is enough to accommodate 3,000 people, now only less than one-sixth of them sit. Most of them gather in the front row, with a tight space between them, and they think they have a very close relationship.

With a cold expression, Zhong Yang also sighed. Such thoughts were not only for the growth and future of Gu Yuejun, but also saw the dim prospects of the Hualian industrial and commercial community.

There is no way out except war

In the entire Western world, there were several trends that were ignored or ignored in the 1920s that were unfavorable to economic development.

Agricultural development, which is crucial to people's livelihood, has not fully recovered from the depression after World War I, and farmers have been poor during this period. Especially in the United States, a large number of small and medium-sized farmers have lost their ancestors' industries every day because they are unable to repay their debts.

In addition, the so-called high wage levels in the industrial sector are many of them illusions. In the past ten years, the application of new machines has squeezed out a large number of workers with low technical work content. This is a scene that Liu Haoran saw with his own eyes during his visit to the United States. Compared with the current Hualian workers' group, it is actually the same in nature.

For example, from 1920 to 1928, the total industrial output value of the Western world increased by almost 50, while the number of industrial workers did not increase, and the number of employees in the transportation industry actually decreased.

Looking back, Hualian is actually in a more serious situation. A large number of factories adopt machines and processes provided by Tianyu Group and have the most advanced industrial production capacity on the earth. This also means that the xuqiu1 for ordinary workers has been reduced to a minimum, and even many key enterprises do not need ordinary workers without professional skills at all.

With the increasing mechanization of agricultural production and interest-free loans and help from rural credit cooperatives, a large number of agricultural labor force have begun to become unnecessary. This is equivalent to increasing the unemployed population in the entire society and widening the gap between the rich and the poor. This is a great threat to public security and the economy.

In the service industry with very low wage levels, the number of workers increased the most, which undoubtedly included many skilled workers who were unemployed due to technological progress. Therefore, those statistics that indicate a slight increase in wages do not seem to reflect the true situation. Since workers and peasants are basic consumers, these two types of people encounter economic difficulties and will definitely have an impact on the consumer goods market.

Hualian's domestic demand level can only digest 15% of the industrial production capacity by itself, and excess productivity must be piled up abroad. Even the profits brought by the production of medium and high-end consumer goods cannot offset the losses caused by ordinary consumer goods.

This trade association is a critical event for the entire Hualian. Under the crisis, the trade tendency in peacetime will be abandoned, and militarized mobilization becomes the only option.

Under the deliberate guidance, this group of greedy capital merchants decided to use war to expand market demand. The huge consumption brought by the war will create wealth and future for the entire Hualian.

The bright pearl is stained with bloody brilliance...
