The First Warlord of the Republic of China

Commodity exports have enabled the ROC to make money, and the means of making money is the export of high value-added products and renewable resources.

In addition, the low-level industries in the dependent countries not only made money in the ROC, but also made money in the international market.

So, can the money be eaten?

High value-added products can be manufactured by the Republic of China itself, and only German precision machine tools need to be imported. There are no high value-added products in other European and American countries that can be sold in the Asian market.

In terms of low value-added industrial products, the Republic of China has imported from those dependent countries, and there is no need to import from European and American countries. [

If the money on hand is not spent, then the Republic of China is equivalent to doing nothing for other countries.

In other words, if nothing is imported from Europe and the United States, then the money is equivalent to waste paper, or just a pile of gold and silver that is not useful.

Of course, the money can be taken to Europe and the United States to buy real estate, such as land, houses, factories, etc., and can also be invested in these countries.

But those real estates are useful, and the Chinese people don't get them.As for investment, the ultimate goal is to obtain profits, and the purpose of making profits is also to squeeze more commodities from European and American countries, and it went around and went back.

What else is valuable in Europe and America now?

First of all, talents are valuable. The Republic of China needs industrial and scientific research talents from Europe and the United States. In this regard, the Republic of China has already introduced them.

The other one is resources, all kinds of non-renewable minerals have been reversed into divine legends.

These minerals have one thing in common. The first is that they are non-renewable, and the second is that the added value is very low. In this era, Europe and the United States are generally unaware of the problem of resource extraction.

Especially in the United Kingdom, coal is among the three pillar products of the United Kingdom.Coal is also a non-renewable thing.

Of course, the United States is aware of it, but that is after the United States has exported a large number of goods.If the export-oriented economy wants to continue to develop, it must continue to import.

And every country has nothing but resources.

But because the industrial scale of this era is not large, and there is no shortage of resources, it has not yet risen to a strategic perspective.

From a strategic point of view, it is to weaken the war potential of other countries.

A country even has no resources, and with the continuous development of the industrial system, all kinds of resources are linked to the potential for war.

Not so in this era.Mineral resources have not been much linked to war.Germany was the first country to realize this problem, but Germany itself has no mineral resources.

The reason why the development of science and technology cannot last is because of the consumption of mineral resources.

The reason why the war broke out.From now on, it is because of insufficient resources, lack of food at the beginning, or unfair distribution, or the desire to possess resources.

Technology, on the other hand, was born out of war.

When technology is more advanced.The more resources are consumed, the more shortage of resources is caused, and more wars are caused, thus the world enters a vicious circle. [

With the continuous development of the economy and the continuous expansion of the internal construction of the Republic of China, the resources required are increasing day by day.And mining its own resources feels very uneconomical.

Just like coal mining, Jiang Yu wants to stop mining all coal in Shanxi, but there is a domestic demand.Furthermore, if Japan wants to develop as a country and squeeze out Japan's labor force, it also needs to consume resources.

Now Japan's coal has to be imported from China to a certain extent.

Therefore, the Republic of China has reached an unbearable level, and it is urgent to find a country that can export a large amount of mineral resources.

England came into view.

First of all, Britain has a large number of colonies.Its colonies and dominions are the largest, which means it has the most resources.The Brit is a big resource holder.

As long as the Britons can increase the scale of raw material mining, a pattern of China exporting high value-added products, Japan and other dependent countries exporting low value-added products, and the United Kingdom exporting raw materials to the Republic of China can be formed.

After all, the colonies ruled by the British belonged to others, so Britain did not care about these raw materials.

Coupled with the current financial difficulties in the UK, hoping to reverse the financial problems, the ability to bear the trade deficit is very poor, and the huge trade deficit needs to be eliminated.

Therefore, it is very reliable for the UK to export raw materials to China.

"Britain has the most colonies in the world. Before we have completely overturned the colonial system by force, we may not be unable to cooperate with the British to exploit more benefits in those colonies. This kind of cooperation means that Britain invests in railways and mines , and then export a large amount of minerals to us.” Jiang Yu said to Zhou Ziyue, “So we have to take Britain as the first breakthrough. I think the British are very willing to export minerals under financial constraints. In addition, we also need to At the same time, contacting the Rothschild consortium, the British can only make policy decisions, and the ability to execute business depends entirely on the consortium following Chayer."

"I think there should be no problem. Exporting minerals to us is profitable, and the Rothschild consortium cannot be tempted. What about other countries?" Zhou Ziyue asked the cardholder.

"European countries can get in touch. We must at least realize that half of the mineral resources we consume are supplied by other countries. The other half, we will mine first." Jiang Yu said after thinking about it.

Zhou Ziyue thought for a moment and said: "Can we do this, and mine a small part of the resources by ourselves, such as the Central Asian administrative region, where the military industry is concentrated, and the mineral resources mined in the Central Asian administrative region and the Beihai administrative region are supplied to the Central Asian administrative region. The military industry manufactures. In the densely populated areas of the customs, the resources needed are all imported. For this part of the imports, we import half of them from the dependent countries, India, and Australia. After the war broke out, we were able to quickly occupy these areas, thereby Keep this half of the supply of resources. The other half will be imported from European and American countries. After the outbreak of the war, the supply of these resources will be cut off, and we will start domestic mining to make up for these gaps."

Looking at the map, Jiang Yu couldn't help clapping his hands and said: "This plan is good, but we have to make two-handed preparations. One is to retain some domestic mining capacity and reserve various resources that can last at least half a year. It is to increase the price. We can also take the initiative. The second is to continue to increase the transportation capacity."

"The storage is in progress, and there is no big problem in transportation. Container transportation can greatly reduce transportation costs. In addition, we are building larger ocean-going merchant ships. After these conditions are met, we can obtain cheap raw materials from other countries." Zhou Ziyue said .

"Then follow this plan." Jiang Yu nodded and said, "As long as this plan is implemented, I will close all the mines operated by private capital in China. Most of the mines operated by the consortium will also be closed. , at least large-scale mining is not allowed in the pass.”

Zhou Ziyue nodded.Then I went back to Shanghai for a meeting.

The plan discussed by the two is very important to China at this time.

Before that, the Republic of China had no money, and its industrial scale was not large.The resources consumed are not many, so everything that can be mined by itself is mined by itself.

But it's different now. Now that I have money, I have a lot of foreign exchange in hand.Moreover, the scale of the industry is gradually expanding, and the resources required are relatively large.

someone said.What is the use of minerals left in the ground? [

Of course it is useful, first of all, it can be left to future generations.Second, after consuming other people's mineral resources, whoever has more mineral resources will have greater war potential.

Third, minerals cannot be dug indiscriminately.Random digging will destroy the dragon veins.

Fourth, there has been a theory of Lijin Shengshui since ancient times, and the ancestors discovered it through Yin-Yang and Five Elements.Whenever there are gold mines and metal mines, the rainfall is greater than the surrounding areas. In the 21st century, global rainfall has decreased, especially in China. If you think carefully about the rainfall when you were a child and the rainfall when you grow up, you will find that the rainfall reduction is not at 01:30.decrease in rainfall.Later generations attribute it to the problems of global warming and exhaust emissions.

This reason also makes sense, because exhaust emissions and climate warming belong to fire.Fire is of course gold.But excessive mining of minerals is also one of the main reasons for the decrease in rainfall.

In ancient times, China recognized the role of coal very early on, but the imperial court prohibited mining coal, because ancient Confucian literati also cultivated their moral character and were proficient in national art theory, so they naturally understood the consequences of mining.

The reason for destroying the dragon veins seems a bit mysterious, but it really has to be taken seriously.Especially in the Shanxi area, where the Taihang Mountains are located, and Beijing is right next to the Taihang Mountains. Do you dare to dig indiscriminately there?

As for the Qinling Mountains, it is even more forbidden to dig indiscriminately there. The Huaihe River in the Qinling Mountains is the main vein of the Chinese Dragon Vessel. It has a long air transport, and there are two waterlines of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, which have the greatest influence on China.

Therefore, in the customs, not only can mining be done indiscriminately, but also the construction of hydropower stations on the Yellow River and the Yangtze River should be done carefully. The construction of large-scale hydropower stations like the Three Gorges Hydropower Station that changes the natural operation of the Yangtze River is absolutely prohibited.

The Chinese like to fight among themselves, which is also related to the reason why there are more dragon veins.This country is too big, and there are more mountains, so naturally there are more dragon veins.

Each dragon vein breeds a group of talents, and naturally there is a great call for fighting.

There are three large dragon veins, one is the main vein of the Qinling Mountains, which originated from the Kunlun Mountains, and this main vein was dominated by Chinese luck from the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is called the main vein of China.The other one is the Taihang Mountains, which is also a big dragon vein. Since Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, this dragon vein has always been the master.Although it was taken advantage of by the Northeast Wild Dragon at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was because of the institutional problems of the Ming Dynasty, which caused public grievances. Naturally, the dragon veins could not be suppressed, but after the Manchus entered the customs, they also relied on this dragon vein to rule the world.

There is also a large dragon vein in the southwest region, and the Himalayas spread all the way to Yunnan. This dragon vein gave birth to the Guangxi clan in modern times. Although the warlords of the Guangxi clan seem to be in Guizhou and Guangxi, these people all came from the Yunnan Lecture Hall in the late Qing Dynasty.This dragon vein can be called the Dali dragon vein.

There is also a dragon vein in the Hubei area, and the overlord Xiang Yu's stream was bred by this dragon vein, which can be called the Jingchu dragon vein.

There is also a dragon vein in Anhui and Zhejiang. Sun Quan of the Three Kingdoms, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, Jiang Guangtou and others rely on this dragon vein, which can be called the Wuyue dragon vein.

From a European point of view, it is simply a miracle that the ancestors can make a territory with so many dragon veins form a country, and it depends on the sense of cultural identity.

During the previous dynasties in China, there was a phenomenon that the Jingchu dragon veins and Wuyue dragon veins were very active, because as the economy moved southward, these two dragon veins controlled the most people and the most material resources.But in the final result, the chances of these two dragon veins winning are very small.In the end, it was the Huaxia Mainline or the Taihang Dragon Vein that won.

It is different in Europe. The main line of Europe is in Northern Europe, that is, Scandinavia in Sweden and Norway. Although the main line where Sweden and Norway are located is relatively strong, due to geographical restrictions, there are not many people, so These two countries do not rule Europe, but people in both countries have historically lived very comfortably.

The European continent other than Northern Europe is dominated by the Alps, and the European continent is dominated by France, Germany, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Italy.All around the Alps.These small dragon veins attacked each other and eventually formed small countries.

The United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Spain rely on Sea Dragon.When the people of the Netherlands and the United Kingdom could not be used by the dragon veins, it was Spain and Portugal that took the lead in colonizing the world.Later, the Netherlands began to colonize the world, and finally Britain got the most luck, thus becoming the empire on which the sun never sets.

Open up Google Maps and take a closer look at where the world's mountains are located.You will find that every strong country, or a country with very hard bones, has mountains in its territory.

Because Africa and India have no mountains, they will not resist when they are colonized. Countries without dragon veins are easily conquered.

A country with dragon veins.No matter how big or small, in the 21st century, you will never get too frustrated.

Chinese dragon veins.Because of the problem of agricultural development, it has suffered a lot of damage.So at this time, Jiang Yu hopes to stop the mining of minerals in the customs. Small-scale mining is fine, but large-scale mining is not.

As for the Beihai administrative region and the Central Asian administrative region, there are also some dragon veins.However, they are all wild dragons, and they will be dug as soon as they are dug.

But think about it strategically.The resources of other countries can be used, and the resources of other countries should be used as much as possible.

……

After the plan was formulated, the consortium quickly took action, and these plans quickly penetrated into various fields of the Republic of China.

The Environmental Protection Agency acted the fastest, vigorously investigating those mines and factories that could cause relatively large pollution in the customs, and once found, immediately ordered to suspend work for rectification.

Especially on the waterlines of the Yellow River, Yangtze River, and Huaihe River, it is not allowed to discharge sewage into the river.Once major pollution is discovered, the fines will go bankrupt, and they will be sentenced. The severity of the severity makes those private investors terrified.Even if the pollutant discharge is relatively small, if it exceeds the standard, it will be fined and work will be suspended for rectification.

Therefore, after the private investors received the latest pollution discharge indicators, many polluting enterprises immediately stopped working.

It’s not that the state doesn’t give them a way to live. It doesn’t matter if the pollution is too high. They can move factories to Japan for development, but they absolutely can’t discharge sewage into the Yellow River and Yangtze River to Aitia.

Even domestic sewage and domestic garbage should be well managed in villages and towns.

Large-scale biogas digesters are popularized all over the country. Those farms are the first to popularize biogas digesters. Because of the appearance of pig farms and other biogas digesters, they no longer discharge sewage. At the same time, they can generate electricity, lighting, and produce organic fertilizers.

Factories capable of discharging sewage began to move out of China in large numbers.

On the contrary, the rectification efforts of factories that emit exhaust gas are not so great, but factories with huge exhaust gas emissions have also been relocated to Japan for development.

Another move is that the Republic of China continues to increase the manufacture of ocean-going merchant ships and import resources from overseas. Although it seems that the cost has increased, it has also increased the scale of the shipbuilding industry.

The tonnage of the largest merchant ship in the Republic of China has risen to 4 tons this year. Ocean-going merchant ships are getting bigger and bigger, and the efficiency of ocean transportation is getting higher and higher.

Coupled with the emergence of the container transport mode, the cost has been very low, and the cost barriers of country-to-country trade have been eliminated.

While increasing resource extraction in Australia and India, the consortium began negotiating with the Rothschild consortium to resolve the trade gap.

The Rothschild consortium is more sensitive to wealth outflows, because this consortium itself is playing with capital. Although they are not so focused on technical issues and are more addicted to financial speculation, they are also somewhat worried about the trade deficit of European countries.

The Chinese consortium of warlords and oligarchs proposed to resolve the trade gap, and the Rothschild consortium naturally welcomed it. The Chinese consortium of warlords and oligarchs proposed that China export commodities to Europe, and European countries export coal, ore and other raw materials to China.

After hearing this model, the Rothschild consortium couldn't help but be overjoyed, and the two sides hit it off.Immediately afterwards, the price of minerals was agreed, and the scope of mining was divided.

In terms of price, the Republic of China offered a relatively low price, while the Rothschild consortium wanted to raise the price higher. In the end, the two parties took a step back and reached a moderate price that was acceptable to both parties. Profitable, but not very high.

Compared with the products with high added value that I wrote, the added value of mineral resources is very low.

In terms of mining scope, India, Myanmar, Malaysia, Australia, and New Zealand are classified as Chinese investment, and other colonial minerals in Africa except Ethiopia and Namibia are invested by the Rothschild consortium.

Europe and North America are also invested by the Rothschild consortium, and in South America, both parties jointly invest.

At the same time, China sold small and medium-sized excavators, cars and other surface mining equipment to the Rothschild consortium. In terms of price, the Chinese warlord and oligarch consortium also calculated, leaving a lot of room for profit for the Rothschild consortium.

The Rothschild consortium calculated their accounts and found that if they use Chinese open-pit mining equipment and the price agreed by the two parties, the profit of mining minerals will be considerable, with an annual rate of return of 20%.

On the other hand, the Republic of China began to contact the British government to discuss the import of raw materials with the British government, which made the United Kingdom overjoyed.

At this time, the United Kingdom is worrying about the sharp drop in commodity exports. China has proposed to increase the import of coal, iron ore and other resources from the United Kingdom and its colonies. This will undoubtedly allow the British government to find a good medicine to eliminate the trade deficit.

In particular, the Chinese government handed over all or part of the resources needed by Japan, North Korea, Vietnam, Siam, and the Republic of South China to the United Kingdom for export.

The annual coal consumption of these dependent countries is a huge number, especially in Japan, where the industry has begun to develop rapidly. Because Japan has no resources, coal basically relies on imports.

At this time, China is unwilling to excavate coal from the mainland and export it to Japan, so this piece of "fat meat" will fall in front of the British.
