Chapter 87 Chapter 3.08 Pushing away the disaster of war
The president of the Military Affairs Department of Shenzhou is looking at the map of the East Ocean. Wei Keng on Kunlun Mountain is examining the obstacles to regional exchanges on the world island.
Now the northwest of Shenzhou is Su Xiong. Whether from a military or economic perspective, we should carefully consider maintaining a long-term and stable relationship with it.
And Wei Keng is holding a plan for the Northwest Mutual Trade. Wei Keng also sent this mutual trade plan to the president of the Military Affairs Department, and at the same time, he was sent the rampant military smuggling project in the Western Region.
In the eighth month of the 2211th year of the Qin Tongli calendar
Since the two met in the Kunlun base, they have maintained private communication. The relationship between the two parties is not good friends, nor is it a monarch and a minister. On the surface, they are superiors and subordinates, but in fact, it is like playing chess with "confidants".
The president clearly knows that Wei Keng's weight in Western Shenzhou is getting heavier and heavier. Steel, machinery, and energy have been growing explosively in recent years under the allocation of the Western Economic Union. These are all strength indicators related to war potential. The increase of this power makes the western part of Shenzhou more and more unruly in the face of traditional economic areas. But he knows that as long as Wei Keng is in charge, there will be no trouble in the west of Shenzhou.
Wei Keng only maintains 50,000 troops on the plateau, with no increase or decrease, and the focus is still on sorting out business and people's strategy. In the president's mind, this is still a traditional scholar-official.
It is rare for an official with Wei Keng's strength to maintain integrity in Shenjing. If someone else had changed, they would have started the Anlu Rebellion!
And at present, Wei Keng actually suppressed other ambitious people in the central and western parts of Shenzhou.
For example, in the Western Regions, Mobei and even Shunan, the generals have all acted in a presumptuous manner.
This situation is the worst in the Western Regions! After these generals who were defeated last time, after getting the base vehicles from Shenjing, they recruited private soldiers on a large scale. Such ambitions, Shenjing was singing and dancing if it didn't know, but now the president is sweating when he knows it. Good guy, this is really going to split.
The solution provided by Wei Keng is that instead of allowing smuggling, it is better to conduct border trade thoroughly, and the customs tax revenue will be returned to the court, so as to cut off the willful behavior of the military officers in the Western Regions.
Wei Keng gave the president advice: "There are only three strategies for the west of Shenzhou, military stability, economic prosperity, and people's stability. Among them, military stability is the most important. Shenjing, as the center of the country, must firmly control the military stability."
In other words, Wei Keng supports Shenjing's order to reach the border. So no matter how much Wei Keng's other ideas are different from those of the elders in the court, based on this point, the president thinks that Wei Keng is the pillar of the country at this stage.
...
Wei Keng did not want to overthrow Shenzhou, but always felt that Shenzhou should not be allowed to act recklessly by certain people. The current changes in the war in the west of the country are mainly because of Su Xiong.
This powerful land power country now maintains a million troops in the north of Shenzhou, as if it is ready to explode.
But Wei Keng saw the root, this is not a war problem, but a mutual trust problem.
In Europe, all the inhabited areas of the Russians are close to the west, and every step of expansion can only further intensify the friction with ethnic groups in Central Europe.
In the East, separated by a large Gobi Desert and permafrost, as long as a battle proves that they can hardly gain a foothold in the East, they can't conquer the Inca as easily and happily as the Spaniards. What they think about is not invasion, but defense against the influence of the East.
In fact, Su Xiong is in great need of communication with the East, and this kind of communication demand should be eased rather than blocked.
By the way, this matter is also related to Wei Keng. After the Battle of Talas, Wei Keng made the economy too good.
As a result, Su Xiong won the military victory in the region, but failed miserably in other aspects. Several large-scale economic reforms in the region have failed completely. Under the underworld reports of the European media with ulterior motives, it has become very annoying.
In Wei Keng's information, since the Battle of Talas, the governance effect of Soviet Russia in the region~~~ is simply?
The large farms have become large deserts, and the development of industry has drained a large amount of river fresh water, causing the Aral Sea to dry up and turn into saline-alkali land. There was a black storm in the autumn.
Oh my god, after spending so much oil and cadres, they can no longer govern the local area, so that the indigenous people in the area think it is better to be superstitious.
…
It is said that the locals in the equatorial region lack mobilization, so "there is no strong country in the equatorial region." But the high-latitude regions are at the other extreme, "everything is waiting for mobilization."
The Russian people are a representative, a country waiting for mobilization.
In history, since Peter the Great of Tsarist Russia, when the Tsarist emperor proved that he could win the war, the Russians unconditionally obeyed the mobilization of the strongman. This was even more true in the Iron Man era of the Soviet Union, where rapid mobilization completed the construction of powerful heavy industry.
But the problem is here, they didn't know what to do when they were small groups. As a result, the large framework system is very grand, and the small structure (light industry and agricultural and sideline industries) is very rough in various technologies. (This is the opposite of Shengyang).
Looking back at history, with the European continent as a reference, after the petty bourgeoisie gained power, they developed excellent management capabilities in the small structures of the middle and lower levels. They made careful investments in business, science and technology. Only in this way can there be technological and institutional progress.
But what about the bears? Some are nomadic, and the upper and lower structures are gray livestock and upper aristocrats, a simple structure.
"How can small businesses in the middle and lower levels manage themselves!" "R&D technology" "Developing town commerce", the bears are in a mess here. They can only rely on importing technology from Europe to upgrade production. Even after the October guns, this basic humanities backwardness has not changed.
Even some people in the main world who have studied the Soviet Union thoroughly think that the Soviet Union, the hegemon of the Cold War, is not an industrial country in theory compared with the rabbits with weaker industrial output value at the same time?
An industrial country must have the ability to replace its own technology and develop upward.
Although the rabbits are backward, many fields are opened by local experts, but they also studied thoroughly by themselves, and then opened the Sharingan to do it themselves. But the Soviet Union’s resources are too rich, and the civilian automobile production line is too troublesome, so they bought directly from Germany.
As a result, the industrial chain introduced by the rabbits in the 20th century found that the Soviet Union’s technology 20 years ago was the technology of Germany 40 years ago.
…
Of course, this problem is not about the system or genes. It’s about the local environment.
The cold winter in high-latitude areas is terrible. This leads to the fact that people living here have to stay in the room like bears throughout the long winter. Under such local customs: Don’t move around for nothing during the long year. Going out to find something is looking for death.
The long winter has given Russian upper-level scholars talents, giving them enough time to think and create art.
Russia is rich in great writers and artists. And they have thoughts like fire. The Slavs in the lower class of society have no educational resources, and the long winter gives them perseverance.
Relatively speaking, due to the strong partition effect of the north-south horizontal mountains on the climate, China has distinct four seasons. The life of the agricultural class is not as monotonous as that of the Slavs. Most of the year, they can do a lot of things.
Long before the Industrial Revolution, the rural areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the East were like this: the elderly raised chickens and ducks, children raised their own cattle, and women wove cloth. When they went to the market during the slack season, they put eggs, cloth, etc. on the market to sell.
These are "down-to-earth" things in East Asia. Russian observers used this sentence to describe the rural and urban markets in East Asia: "This is a kind of vitality that can be seen by the eyes."
Similar to the petty bourgeoisie in the city-states in Europe, China can also form town family businesses with the village clan as the bond, so there is no shortage of light industrial products.
Especially after Wei Keng completed the Internet revolution in western China, a large number of rural small enterprises opened up a large number of agricultural and sideline products and electronic industries based on the advantages of local raw materials. As the Western Economic Union continued to build roads and provide electricity, the entire Western Region also received a large number of products.
Why did Wei Keng know that the warriors in the Western Region were smuggling!
A small beacon checkpoint, my God, ordered dozens of boxes of Erguotou and several tons of hot pot base every month. Is that for eating skewers every day? Or for taking a bath?
...
Wei Keng's eyes were fixed on the North Asian region. Without necessary factors and winning factors, it is not advisable to use the sword. Therefore, instead of letting the Shenzhou military force engage in friction with unknown outcomes in the center of this world island, it is better to solve it in a more gentle way.
Light industrial products for agricultural products and raw materials. As for the Soviet Union's heavy industry? The double barrels of the Apocalypse tank and the Alliance super-heavy tank should be used against the European continent.
In this kind of trade, the Soviet Union will definitely understand Shenzhou's intentions and use them at the same time.
Wei Keng understood: the shrewd Russians would think of making a comeback after sweeping the European continent, but let's wait until they can sweep the European continent.
In the year 2212 of the Qin Tongli calendar, Shenzhou had already started to act.
First, Shenjing appointed personnel from the Western Economic Union to communicate with the Soviet Union on trade and discuss the possibility of mutual trade.
The Military Affairs Department sent people to investigate various armies in the Western Regions. A total of seven general groups conducted exercises at the Mobei training ground. After confirming the preparation of the weapons, they began to arrange people to leave the army and transfer to the border trade department established by the Western Economic Union.
The Ministry of Revenue of Shenzhou also sent personnel to accept the management of border mutual trade.
...
At the trade talks, the Kremlin was quite interested. After meeting the trade officer sent by the Western Economic Union, Chadanko of the Mutual Economic Association grinned brightly. The meeting was immediately upgraded to a talk. The two sides quickly signed the relevant agreement, and in the gorgeous Russian palace, it was illuminated by the flashes on various cameras.
Both sides claimed: a model of peace.
However, European newspapers, such as Le Soir de France, were very skeptical, believing that this economic cooperation was sustainable, authentic, and effective.
The German side even believed that this was just a pre-war cover-up. The reason was that Shenzhou had added seven army groups in the west, and had been investing heavily in road facilities.
However, in response to such anomalies, Moscow and Shenjing also agreed to hold relevant peace exercises regularly in the North Asian region to increase strategic mutual trust.
Shenzhou's series of strategies were not hindered by the cabinet headed by the Donglin faction.
Because the shortage of national funds has always been very serious after entering the cabinet, if the military affairs in the northwest can be saved a little, the pressure of the warship competition in the east can be burned more.
...
After the peace agreement was signed. New roads have begun to be built in the border of Shenzhou. General Mo Siwen of the Siberian Electromagnetic Fortress's first reaction after receiving the news was that Shenzhou wanted to attack.
When he and a group of Soviet soldiers wearing wide-brimmed hats arrived at the scene and confirmed that they were excavators and transport vehicles, they lowered their alert.
The speed of basic road construction in Shenzhou really exceeded the Soviet Union's imagination. Their labor commune has not taken any action yet, but roads are already being planned here. In the eyes of the Soviet commander: the most important thing is that beer can be purchased at the convenience station, and two payment methods, ruble and Shenzhou currency, are set according to the needs of the border.
After opening cans of cans, these Soviet generals visited the construction site and went back with several contracts.
There are several very good pastures in Mo Siwen's defense zone. The relative of the boss on the construction site in Shenzhou happens to be in the meat business and is willing to provide breeding equipment. There are also early loans, as long as the Soviet army is willing to give the green light. There is nothing wrong with raising cattle.
Cattle can be sold, and minerals can also be sold.
In the year 2214 of the Qin Tongli calendar, Wei Keng saw the data of the two sides' mutual trade and was slightly certain that the steel torrent near Shenzhou should not flood over. But war preparations still need to be prepared. The greater the benefits, the sword in hand can stabilize the main benefits.
…
In the Yanbei region, the construction of floating warships began again, and this time it was based on the experience of the last time.
Three ships were built at one time. Hundreds of robots started working in three airship shipyards that were 500 meters long and 200 meters wide.
The military department of Shenzhou intended to develop a space combat system. When units such as Xihe Holy Light and Tianhuo Defense Tower were directly deployed from the air, a certain number of floating warships were needed.
In this regard, Fenghou Group promised that it could be completed, but the military department returned the favor and chose the plan provided by Luoshui Group and issued an order. Bai Jingqi was so angry that he called three times a day and reprimanded Wei Keng for not being moral.
On August 7, in the midsummer days.
Wei Keng stayed in the aviation base and looked at the "Xihe Divine Light" system. This is the top system designed by Shenzhou's space technicians. A solar reflector was deployed in the outer space orbit.
Since the altitude is high enough, it is not blocked by the shadow of the earth most of the time, and theoretically it can carry out all-weather strikes. The reflective umbrella uses a lot of memory metal, and the umbrella cover can be opened and folded quickly, which is safer in the space orbit.
After unfolding, the sunlight is focused to a point, and then through the meso-macro-light wave conversion effect, it is focused into a light wave that is not easy to scatter and sweeps the earth.
The striking effect of this weapon has been verified in Mobei. Six beams of light falling from the sky are parallel and straight, sweeping across three kilometers of land, leaving a charred glass scar on the ground along the way.
Of course, Wei Keng took a closer look. This kind of glass-like killing looks scary.
Six 20-meter-wide and three-kilometer-long charred spots burned out. And the sacred feeling of falling from the sky is estimated to give those enemies who "believe in God in their hearts" a serious shock, but in fact, the focusing time of this thing is too short, and it can only cause damage to light infantry targets. The metal layer of large heavy armor units is still resistant to it.
Wei Keng: "I think that even oil and gas burning bombs are better than this."
This sentence is said to the system: In this world, Wei Keng also has a basic task to collect the technology system of this world. Although some technologies don’t make much sense now.
System: “Sergeant Wei Keng, this is related to your grade. No matter what historical ideas you have in this world, you still have to hand in your homework.”
