Chapter 1450 Changes in Southeast Asia
Lan Fang is currently only a country on the surface, but in fact, it has become a formal administrative division of China, and even the nominal leaders do not exist. They were transferred back to China and appointed and divided into different regions, and named regional chiefs.
At this time, Lan Fang, that is, Southeast Asia, is no longer Southeast Asia a few years ago. It has been almost three years since the outbreak of the European War. Lan Fang has joined the war for more than two years. It is precisely because it was during the war that no one paid attention to many things, whether it was the change of leaders or the changes in regional population.
Later generations, the national liberation movement after World War II gave Yang Yuanzhao a huge warning. Since the 1980s, direct disputes between countries have decreased, but **********, and even national independence, have become the mainstream of disputes in various countries and even regions, and the land of the country can no longer become the dominant part of disputes, but more of them are the *********.
China is not willing to do so. The land that has been built and the land that has been built will become a meal for others after decades. Even if China has the power to suppress national independence, it must be avoided as much as possible, because any suppression and battle consumes China's own strength, which Yang Yuanzhao tries to avoid.
To solve national independence, this is a global problem. In later generations, not many people had a good solution. Among them, the Americans used to be the best example and became Yang Yuanzhao's natural choice. America and the United States were once the territory of the Indians, but now, even in the United States, Indians have become ethnic minorities and even protected areas must be protected. This is also the fundamental reason why Indians cannot make a big wave.
The United States used western cowboys to gradually massacre countless Indians over decades. The current world pattern and world situation cannot support China in Southeast Asia and continue to do it again. However, China is also different from the United States. China has a huge population base and countless splendid civilizations, which has become a prerequisite for assimilation. Using immigration, education, differentiation and integration, turning them into Chinese has become the focus. Among them, it is the first thing to do not allow them to remain in Southeast Asia.
There are some high pressures and some strong forces in this. This is necessary for the stability of future generations. Under the pattern of world wars and under the current mainstream world thinking, this approach is still relatively mild and has outstanding results. After more than a year of hard work, the number of natives in Southeast Asia is only about 35 million, of which more than 80% live in the Indochina Peninsula, the entire Malacca, Indonesian islands, Borneo and the Philippines, and the total number of people is only 7 million.
Compared with the natives of Indonesian islands and even the Philippines, the natives of the Indochina Peninsula are more trusted by China. This is an area influenced by China. In the early Qing Dynasty, it was still a vassal state of China. It was basically hundreds or thousands of years. It was influenced by Chinese civilization. Many countries still have standard Chinese characters. Among the top leaders, there is quite a market. These nations have no rebellious mentality over China's rule, but are excited.
Even so, China still incorporates the same number, or even more Chinese people in these territories, and dilute their ethnic groups in a relatively mild way. In the next 10 years, this measure will continue, and will eventually control the total number of ethnic minorities to less than 15% of the total population, and the total number of a single ethnic minority will be controlled below 3%, which is a relatively safe number.
With the experience of later generations, China will not build any ethnic settlements. Only by dividing and disintegrating them and completely integrating them into the Chinese nation is the most correct choice. The Han people who integrate into all of them will be their future race. This is a way to maintain long-term stability.
In order to facilitate management, Lan Fangguo joined the camp of the Allies in China and was no longer suitable as a manager of Southeast Asia. For the sake of influence, Lan Fangguo was divided into several provinces. The Indochina Peninsula was a complete province, Borneo was another, and then Southeast Asian islands, Malacca and the Philippines. This was just a temporary division, and it did not even consider the status quo, so Lan Fang's pace of integration into China was accelerating.
Among all the provincial levels in Southeast Asia, Borneo is the most important. As the first place developed and operated by China, Borneo, which became the capital after the establishment of Lanfang, spent a huge amount of money on the basis of the original plantation and has now basically completed the industrialization process.
Borneo is not rich in resources and has no wide variety of resources in China's newly occupied territory. This is why the Dutch did not focus on him. Even during the Dutch rule, the capital of Indonesia was on another island.
The Netherlands is the Netherlands. The Netherlands is a country that has declined and even industrialization is carried out based on Europe. It has not completely completed industrialization. But what is China? Under the premise of blockade by Europe and the great powers, it has completed the industrialization process and formed a powerful country. For him, resources and foundation are nothing important. It only requires two aspects to complete industrialization. One has convenient transportation and can transport raw materials and industrial products. The other is that it has enough population and space to accommodate industrialization.
Both of these points are owned by Borneo. It is large enough to be a large island in the world and relatively flat. Then a series of cities can be built, agriculture supports industry, and even industry requires water and land. Borneo also owns them. As for the population, the current population of Borneo is enough to prove everything.
Even from nothing to something, experienced people are built faster than inexperienced people. Not to mention China, with a huge construction speed that outsiders can imagine, the development of Borneo is almost changing with each passing day. Almost every few months, there are different developments. With Pontianak as the center, along the seaside, it is lined up in sequence. It is the least 20 port cities, each port city has at least 300,000 people, and the degree of urbanization is as high as 77%, far higher than the Indochina Peninsula and even higher than other islands in Southeast Asia.
The local low labor costs have taken over the settlement of Chinese industries. In terms of industrial selection, Borneo's industrial layout is arranged based on the current situation and complementary to China. The industry centered on petrochemicals, rubber industries, sugars, textiles and printing and dyeing are arranged in Borneo. Due to the relationship between Scher's order, part of the steel industry and shipyards have been transferred. Currently, the largest steel mills and shipyards in Southeast Asia are distributed in Borneo.
As a country, Borneo is unqualified. It does not have a complete industrial chain and cannot produce all the goods needed for production and life. But Borneo does not need to do this. It is just a province, and it only needs to develop projects that are most suitable for their development that China has formulated for them. As for the others, they can be imported from mainland China.
Single is always faster than comprehensive development. Of course, comprehensiveness means no restrictions. That is a problem that only a country considers. Borneo does not need it innately, and they only need to do what they focus on.
Now, the total economic output of Borneo is no less than that of the world's great powers, and should be inferior to Britain, France, Germany, the United States, and Russia, Austro-Hungary. There is no special calculation, and even the difference is not much. As for Spain, the Netherlands, Turkey and other things, it is far more than that. Of course, it cannot be said that China, not Borneo, has surpassed the total amount of the world's top ten countries in terms of economic account, and is even higher. In addition, Borneo and the entire Southeast Asia are just icing on the cake. Even the total amount of industries in the top ten is really nothing compared to China's total amount that is several times that of the United States.
Without the perception of the world's powers, China has grown into a giant, with hundreds of millions of people, a perfect industry, and a stronger industrial level. The power emitted by these combined together is far beyond what ordinary imagination can compare. China not only exerts its advantages in science and technology, but also its advantages in population. The huge Chinese territory and population formed a joint force that promotes China to move forward rapidly, and every minute and every second is different. Other countries in the world, including Germany, did not expect it.
The most important thing is that this development is sustainable, unlike the European birth policy. China has always believed in the large population and the power of the farming society has become a key factor and talent has wealth. The emergence of Yang Yuanzhao has exacerbated the process of China's change, but it has not changed this one. This can be seen from the 18% population growth rate in 1915 that on average, every 3 couples will have a child.
This is extremely terrifying. The population growth is not as good as the growth that was in later generations. However, with the mortality rate greatly reduced and the population growth rate continued to increase, China's population will grow again in the most five years. Yang Yuanzhao was not afraid of this, but also supported it very much. China has three times the land in the past. Even if part of the land carrying capacity is not strong and it can accommodate twice the population in later generations, it can still be done. If China has 2 billion, or even 3 billion, there is probably no need to fight. No country dares to challenge this behemoth.
Under the premise of political stability and sufficient rations, the population will not only not become a huge burden, but will become a huge support. People can work, and labor can create wealth and civilization. Yang Yuanzhao believes that under his leadership, as long as China lays the foundation for 15 to 20 years, even if China moves forward in an inertia, it will not have any force to stop it. Anyone who challenges China will become as ridiculous as a mantis arm as a chariot. (To be continued.)
