Chapter 1014: The Root of Miracles
After these foreign intelligence personnel got this result at the beginning, they were almost shocked. Is this kidding? It is completely impossible. When was the poor and backward China developed so well? You know, it is not decades ago or more than a hundred years ago.
China's GDP has always been relatively high. In the past, feudal society and peak times, it also created a majority of national production that occupied the world's vast majority. In short, take the Qing government as an example. With its huge manpower and vast territory, it surpassed Britain in terms of total value. In 1840, when the Opium War started, the British were more or less nervous. The Qing Dynasty was too big. At that time, it was just the East India Company, and not the entire UK sent the Royal Navy to prepare for both.
But no one expected that the eldest empire was a paper tiger, which was broken with one stab. The East India Company was used to brake, and even the power of India and the local government was not used, so the Qing Dynasty surrendered.
At this point, the British recognized that the strength of the country is only one aspect. A big empire has a lot of wealth, but does not have enough mobilization ability and strong force. It is just a little bigger pig that may be divided and killed at any time. If it weren't for the large territory, too large population, and too much imbalance between regions, China would definitely not be able to escape India's fate and become a colony.
In this way, under the promotion of foreign colonialism, China gradually fell into the depths of semi-feudal and semi-colonial.
This GDP is just an existence that once existed, and is a special result of the changes in production by the initial industrial revolution under the special conditions of the early industrial revolution. Any advanced system may not be as good as the one that developed to the peak in the early stage, but gradually developed, it showed a huge speed and vitality, and the speed of development was far beyond that of the Qing Dynasty, a small peasant economy. After decades of development, especially after the first industrial revolution, after entering the second industrial revolution, with the huge increase in productivity brought by the electric power revolution, all countries have a clear understanding. The population and land area have been blurred, and replaced by how many industrial workers they have, how many machines they have, and how much power they generate.
The Second Industrial Revolution, which rose by electricity, occupied the mainstream of the world's industry with a rolling trend. The huge power of industrialization caused productivity to soar. From the popularization of industry, European powers all had a relatively huge increase. The United States and Germany emerged, surpassing Britain and France respectively, becoming the world's first and Europe's largest industrial countries. This is why it quickly improved after the Second Industrial Revolution.
The reason is that Virtue itself started late in the first industrial revolution and successfully took the shuttle bus of the Second Industrial Revolution. In addition, the country pays more attention to science and technology, the popularity of power machines is relatively high, and the production efficiency and cost are relatively high. Compared with coal in the first industrial revolution, it is not known how strong it is. Britain, which first started the industrial revolution, followed up a little slower.
The UK has a large base, and some machines that used the machine manufacturers during the first industrial revolution have not yet reached the point of replacing machines. Conservative British people rarely change the focus of production and life without any pain. The UK's huge market is not worried about competition for the time being. Without much improvement in the total volume, they are surpassed by the growing and more powerful countries of the United States and Germany.
Even so, the total amount of Britain and France was large, and it was not easy to surpass them, let alone them. Russia, Austro-Hungarian Empire and even Japan were not underestimated. The Qing Dynasty, which was before, was almost one-fifth of the world's GDP, quickly fell behind when the Second Industrial Revolution came, and became a small part of the world's economy. Due to its large population, it became a market for developed countries. Before Yang Yuanzhao arrived, the number of grey cloth sold by Britain in China was as many as hundreds of millions of pieces each year, which was almost a huge market of tens of millions of pounds.
Yang Yuanzhao's time travel is just a foundation and a basic point of change. What really promotes the development of the Northwest should be an all-in-one machine. This powerful and unimaginable machine can copy various advanced machines and synthesize advanced materials. By visiting the industrial system of the entire world, it almost replicated most of the industrial systems of Britain, Germany and the United States. With the help of some materials from later generations, China has gone through the most difficult juncture in the industrialization system, the basic problem of industrialization, absorbed a large number of basic workers created by the Westernization Movement in 20 years. With the help of the unemployed population in the whole world, it created the Eastern miracle belonging to China and completed the foundation of the country.
As for Yang Yuanzhao, who came from later generations, he knew more clearly that the benefits of electricity to an industrial system have completely and completely entered the power system. The huge, advanced performance and outstanding functions generators allow electricity to keep up with the needs of Baotou. These combined together have become the foundation for the rise of the Northwest, which is far more terrifying than any other country imagined.
The data is very complete, but the total amount is too large. The intelligence personnel do not believe in evil, so they continued to calculate and compared it with the information they had in this plenary meeting. The ironclad facts prove that there are so many in the northwest.
I knew that the Northwest was a factory in the world and produced things all over the world, such as toys, clothes, daily necessities, various medicines, etc. The mainstream powers such as Britain and France did not pay much attention to it. What are the benefits of these small things, but now they have to pay attention to it.
To a certain extent, the total amount of industries exceeding Britain and France represents a strong mobilization ability. If it is replaced by the corrupt Qing Dynasty, the total amount is huge. However, the Qing Dynasty, which is dominated by the small peasant economy, without banks and other financial institutions, it is difficult for the whole country to concentrate funds, which is not enough to worry about. If it is defeated, it can only be cede land and pay compensation.
The Northwest is a modern structure, with an honest and efficient government, a large number of trust-like group companies, modern armies, banks and other financial institutions, which can easily concentrate the wealth of the whole world together. In addition, the production capacity of the entire series of weapons is huge enough to attract the world's population. These combined together create the Northwest's powerful war potential that is difficult to add, and its total strength is even above Russia.
With such a result, this surprised the intelligence personnel of various countries, and was also a little lucky. Fortunately, the third one, the United States and Germany above him, and even Britain and France added the GDP of the colonies, was even more than him. China, the former golden country, which created countless miracles and ancient civilizations, had no attention, and such a powerful force burst out. Fortunately, it was discovered early and everything was still in time.
It’s not that no one doubts whether this is the cost of the Northwest. The Northwest has indeed made a fraud, but what everyone suspects is more about upward fraud, that is, the Northwest has lied. No matter how they want to break their heads, they would not have thought that the Northwest has really made a fraud, but it was not upward fraud, but downward fraud. The data given to them is real data, but it is very misleading. Some of the key data have been modified, otherwise, the overall number will rise by more than 10 times.
The real figures reported in the Northwest, for example, the data from the 1913 government work report would probably shock a large number of people, even Europe, which may be larger than the United States and Germany, and would collapse the white worldview. The raging European war will be affected. For hundreds of years, other races could not compete with him. Before the whites informed the world, the world's overlord was always the Eastern civilization. In its heyday, the GDP of Eastern civilization reached 80 to 90% of the world. It can be said that most of the wealth of the whole world was created by the East.
Only in this way is the legendary East that is the golden kingdom. When it was discovered at the beginning, when it was a great geographical discovery, it was only when it was looking for another road to the east that it was discovered a different path and even Africa.
The entire great powers were very vigilant about China. It was not enough to attract the attention of the other party when they fell to France and Britain. Once they passed the United Kingdom and the United States, or even surpassed the 2-4th place, maybe the European battlefield would reach a consensus.
Wealth does not necessarily represent military strength, but the huge population that Chinese owners have in the world, the mobilization ability imagined by Chaohu, the production capacity of the entire series of military products, and the huge amount of wealth, is almost certain that after a period of time, it will be almost inevitable that a powerful country will be born, at least an army power, which is what the great powers do not want to see.
The radio waves sent information about the northwest little by little to all parts of the world. Originally, the great powers who focused all their energy on the European war situation immediately left their eyes from the war situation. What impact would the emergence of a power in the Far East, a third-largest country in the world, and a large country with a population of 400 million will have on geopolitics and the world situation.
The groups of Britain, France, the United States and Russia, held an ambassador-level meeting almost on the same day. In the next month, high-level officials visited each other. Although the United States was far apart, they also sent a special envoy to Europe to study and discuss China issues. This priority level is extremely high. Not only Britain, France, Russia, but even the United States do not want to see such a country with great potential for war, appearing in eastern Asia, which will have a profound impact on the entire Pacific and even East Asia.
