Chapter 519 Bloody Road
Siam suffered a huge loss in the economic crisis. In history, due to the economic crisis, the ** faction launched a coup to oust Rama VII. With strong demand from China in this time and space, Siam could barely maintain it, but the income from work was still largely unemployed, and the prices of agricultural products dropped sharply, making the farmers' children more and more sad.
A large number of farmers went bankrupt, the land was annexed by the landlords, and these landless farmers had to flow to the city. As a result, the pressure on Siam was greatly increased, and the social security situation continued to deteriorate, and demonstrations continued. The ** faction and fascist faction took the opportunity to make trouble and reverse the originally prosperous and peaceful Siam.
Rama VII was very clear at this time that he only had his own support. Without China's strong support, his throne would be lost at any time. It was in this situation that Rama VII obeyed China's words and was very respectful and obedient.
China requested the formal launch of the Kra Canal project, and Rama VII immediately agreed. He knew very well that the number of workers needed to build a 120-kilometer canal was very shocking. Although China has many entrances, ordinary workers still have to recruit from Siam. In this way, those unemployed workers and landless farmers can have jobs and have a full meal, and their own opposition will be much less.
Therefore, Rama VII was very active and quickly helped China recruit 50,000 workers. At the same time, China and Siam jointly established the canal company, with China occupying 60% of the shares and Siam accounting for 40%. After finalizing, China promoted the listing of the canal company and financing.
China's actions suddenly made Britain furious. Since China released the wind to build a canal, Britain has never been safe. They tried every means to stop the construction of the canal. However, the British bought too few cards and China was too strong. Just one Chandra was enough to make Britain's brain hurt.
Now that the canal has finally officially started construction, Singapore's good fortune is over. How can Britain not be anxious? The British Empire Parliament passed the decision to send the Ark Royal, Challenger aircraft carrier, and the Hood battlecruiser to the Far East, aiming to deter China.
"President, Britain spent a lot of money to enter this time and sent two more aircraft carriers. Today, Nanyang is probably the place with the most aircraft carriers in the world!"
At this time, Qiao Yu and several important confidants were taking a special train to the north for inspection. China had finalized a plan to attack Nanyang, but moving troops to fight was not a trivial matter. It must be considered mainly comprehensively. So far, the Soviet Union is the one that can threaten China on land. Therefore, Qiao Yu must examine the situation in the north before officially deciding to use troops to the south.
Not only to look at the morale of the military, but also to the people and ensure the security of the entire northern border, so that China can move south with confidence. Jiang Baili mentioned the British military mobilization at this time. Yang Du, who was standing aside, smiled slightly: "Chief of Staff Baili, there are so many actions that Britain can take at present, bluffing and dealing with domestic public opinion. If the British really want to take care of the Far East, they might as well send two aircraft carriers to the Mediterranean, drive Italian into the back, and then come to the Far East with the might of a great victory. If this is not done, it would be a formality!"
Old Yangdu was originally very intelligent, and now he has seen through Britain's ideas at first sight. Now the British Prime Minister is the best McDonald. Looking at the history of Britain, once the Labor Party takes power, it will become very weak to the outside world. McDonald will only take an armed parade at most.
However, today, the Nanyang has gathered aircraft carriers from China, Britain and Riyuan, with a total of nearly ten aircraft carriers, which is definitely not a good thing, at least it indicates that the Nanyang has become the focus of attention of a major country.
"Brother Baili, it's not a good thing for Nanyang to be so lively. I think we must speed up the pace of arming Germany. Only when Germany rises and breaks the balance of Europe can the pressure on China be reduced!"
At present, the center of the world is Europe, and the attention of major powers is also focused on Europe, especially Germany is in the heart of Europe. As long as there is a little movement, all countries, including the Soviet Union, will be attracted.
"Don't worry, President, we have provided Germany with two tank design solutions and some submarine technology. As for the aircraft, Germany can develop it themselves. Their design capabilities are not inferior to China. I believe that Germany will digest these things quickly and produce more advanced things!"
What Jiang Baili said is correct. Germany has the most powerful industrial technology in the world and the best workers join the team. These have ensured that Germany can rise rapidly. The technical knowledge provided by China allows Germany to avoid detours and speed up its armed forces.
"President, as the saying goes, you must not have the intention to enter, but you must be careful! If Germany is armed, it will not be a good thing for China!" Yang Du said from the side.
Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Xizi, you are wrong this time. You must be careful and be careful. This sentence is right. If you really have a bad intention, then there will be no struggle between countries. What are we pointing to live!
When the crowd heard Qiao Yu's words, they laughed. The way countries get along with each other is different from the way they enter and enter. Any country is always calculating and enrolling, and at the same time they are also being calculating. There are so many international resources. If you eat more, I will eat less. This has nothing to do with the national system, ideology and other things. This is just a simple jungle law. No matter what packaging is used, it is this thing in the final analysis.
China can help Germany, and even help Riben occupy Borneo. What it is for is the word "interest". China has to use these two countries to share the pressure, but China will never allow Germany to rise truly and even control the entire Europe. This is due to interests.
Europe currently has the best industrial foundation and the richest talent in the world. Once Germany rises and unifies the entire Europe, relying on Germany's geographical advantages, the Middle East and Africa will inevitably fall into Germany's hands. How can China still be involved in these regions at that time?
Therefore, China currently supports Germany. Once Germany exceeds control, it will have to suppress it with all its strength. In fact, this is what the United States is doing. Nowadays, much of the capital that Germany develops comes from the United States. Without the capital of the United States, Germany would not be able to rise rapidly.
Putting aside those useless decorations, things between countries are so simple. Germany's original sin is the ability to unify Europe, and China also has original sin in foreign countries. The biggest original sin is that China led 500 million entrances to industrialization. You must know that this is an unprecedented project in the history of entry into the category. Once such a huge China completes industrialization, how shocking the resources it needs will be.
The rise of a huge China will inevitably be accompanied by the decline of a group of countries, which is inevitable.
"The President is still very necessary for Germany to strengthen its defense. Although China-Germany cooperation has produced huge results, Germany is a tiger, so it must not be stained to allow them to grow completely!"
"Well, it is right to prepare for the future. We cannot really support Germany without reservation. I am going to sell the number to Germany at a suitable time, so that they can go on the right path, and then give up their support, and even cooperate with Britain, France and the Soviet Union when necessary to limit the further development of Germany!"
While speaking, the train was already driving on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia. Yang Du suddenly pointed to several mounds not far from the railway line, and then said: "President, Zhan Dachao told me before he died that a fortune teller said that he had made contributions to the country, but it was inevitable that he would lose his life. This is his life!"
Yang Du is talking about the father of China's railways, Zhan Yaoyou. He has been dead for four years. Zhan Yaoyou built the foundation of the Southwest Railway. Later, his health became worse and worse. He only managed some overall plans. He participated in the 1st Five-Year Plan and even the 2nd Five-Year Plan. It can be said that he was working hard for China's railway cause.
However, Qiao Yu was also very clear that Zhan Yaoyou was tortured in his later years, and the biggest reason was the railway problem. The soil buns Yang Du mentioned just now were not formed naturally, but started working. There were hundreds of railway workers buried underneath, especially the railways in the entire northern Xinjiang. There were such graves everywhere, and the number was quite shocking.
This is also the reason why Zhan Yaoyou was suffering. It has never been easy to carry out economic construction, especially when it was accumulated in the early stages, which was even more bloody. As a late-stage country, China cannot deprive the whole world of the world like Britain and France, and there is no massive Indian entry for massacre.
Although Qiao Yu tried his best to make money by taking advantage of various opportunities, these are still a drop in the bucket compared to the massive amount of funds needed for domestic construction. Building a railway is quite financially consuming, especially the border railway connecting Mongolia and other places. There is little smoke here, and the cost of infrastructure construction is actually a loss, but it is necessary to repair it for national defense and security.
Therefore, China has vigorously adopted coolies to participate in railway construction. These coolies include prisoners of war in previous battles, the purged Taiwanese pro-RI forces, and the ethnic separatist forces in the northwest. Hundreds of thousands of people have been used as coolies.
Of course, this number is not enough. China immediately introduced a large number of people from North Korea and Vietnam, and also got a large number of people from the South China Sea from Riben. In addition, the Chandra of India was in a good mood, and Qiao Yu prescribed a new prescription for him, which was to exchange labor for weapons. From then on, a large number of Indians were sent to the north and invested in railway construction.
China basically treats these coolies as livestock, and does not provide corresponding protection in labor. Even basic food and clothing are not complete. With the super high labor intensity, it would be good if these people could last for two or three years. Then they would die in large quantities due to fatigue. Some people tried to escape and were shot dead by guarded soldiers. After years of accumulation, the railway was successfully built, but there were mounds after mounds on the side of the railway, with bones underneath them.
To be honest, every kilometer of railways consumes life in addition to materials such as rails and sleepers. As the planner and builder of these railways, Zhan Yaoyou is the most aware of the bloody efforts. However, this way he feels guilt from the bottom of his heart.
By extension, China's 15th Five-Year Plan and 25th Five-Year Plan seem to be extremely fast and have achieved remarkable results, but this speed is bloody. But then again, if there is no such speed, the country will be bullied wantonly, and the blood will be paid more at that time!
