Chapter 385: TV Industry, Alliance Prosperity(1/2)
The Chinese Empire has begun designing the fierce-class battleship, creating a battleship with larger tonnage, faster speed, stronger firepower and stronger armor is a comprehensive improvement.
To fully improve the performance of battleships, comprehensive technical improvements must be made.
However, increasing the tonnage is also a way to increase. After all, a large tonnage means that more things can be loaded.
According to the plan, the Chinese Empire will complete design and manufacturing within five years.
The Chinese Empire Navy no longer attaches great importance to battleships, so how well it is designed is not very important. Anyway, the data should be good-looking, and the outside looks mighty and the firepower should be fierce. That's it.
Of course, this is a more powerful battleship. The Chinese Empire may only build one or two, so it is still designed with great care.
The fierce-level battleship will be a medal to witness the glory of the Chinese Empire's naval, proving that the Chinese Empire was also at its peak in the era of battleships.
At this time in the world, Yijiji regarded battleships as the main force of the navy, and only the Imperial Navy of the Chinese Empire has regarded the "carrier as the main force, but the "carrier" has not been disclosed.
At this time, the Chinese Empire had already owned four aircraft "carriers, two first-generation aircraft "carriers, and two second-generation aircraft "carriers.
At the same time, the Chinese Empire has three aircraft "carriers" built, both of which are second-generation aircraft "carriers, and they use the same names as the two second-generation aircraft "carriers, and the two are painted the same. In the future, the three may use the same paint.
In the future, even if these "carriers" are driven to the port, those spies will not know that the number of "carriers" in the Chinese Empire has increased.
The Chinese Empire's Navy is a real and false, which makes many officers within the navy unaware of the true details.
In the eyes of Britain, the United States and Japan, the Chinese Empire built so many battleships, which had already posed a serious threat to them. Once the navy was defeated by the Chinese Empire, their alliance would be basically done.
This alliance relies heavily on the ocean and belongs to a maritime power alliance.
The alliance between the Chinese Empire and Russia and other countries belongs to the land power alliance.
Once the land power alliance is allowed to gain control of the sea, it is easy to imagine how terrible the result will be.
The ocean is the only barrier between Britain, the United States and Japan, a barrier that blocks the Third World Alliance. As long as the sea control power is controlled, the British, American and Japanese alliance will also have the initiative in the offensive.
Therefore, after receiving the information, Britain, the United States and Japan followed up without hesitation.
Compared with the United Kingdom, the United States and Japan invested a lot of resources to build battleships, part of the military expenditure allocated to the navy by the Chinese Empire flowed back to the Central Ministry of Finance from the East China shipyard.
These are all shell ships. The money saved, a shell ship costs only up to 5 million yuan, but the Empire will allocate 40 million yuan, and three or five million yuan will be returned.
A seemingly vigorous battleship manufacturing competition... has begun!
Britain, the United States and Japan kept getting reports from spies. From the details in these reports, it can be seen that the Chinese Empire's determination to build battleships was very great.
Whether it is military expenditure, construction, or the vague leaks from some senior naval officials, it reveals that China is ambitious to obtain maritime hegemony.
This attracted the attention of Britain, the United States and Japan. Once the Chinese Empire is making achievements in the navy, the sudden outbreak may lead to the British, American and Japanese alliance.
Double is just the lowest insurance method, and Japan even called for three times the size of the navy.
The alliance formed by the Allies after the war is currently investing a large amount of resources in the manufacturing of naval battleships, especially during the period after the war, the Chinese Empire had already had the most advanced battleship formation in the world.
The East China-class battleships were indeed the world's top battleships during World War I, so Britain, the United States and Japan were eager to build a group of battleships that could compete with the East China-class battleships.
In contrast, the Chinese Empire invested more money in internal construction.
Those shell ships were not only very low in construction cost but did not require any maintenance…” There was no training, the cost of military personnel, and the burden on the empire’s finances was very light. Soon, it entered 1923…”In 1923” the battleship competition between the two alliances was even more intense. The Chinese Empire had built several new East China-class battleships at an extremely fast speed. One ship in Britain, the United States and Japan had not yet been built, so Britain, the United States and Japan increased their investment to speed up the construction progress.
In fact, the Chinese Empire built shell ships, how can it not be fast?
This was the result of controlling the speed. In order to create some sense of urgency for the British-American-Japan alliance, it was like running a horse. The horse did not want to run, so it waved its whip.
At the same time, Britain, the United States and Japan have obtained information from spies that the Chinese Empire is designing a battleship with a larger displacement, and Britain, the United States and Japan have held another meeting for this.
After the meeting, Britain, the United States and Japan decided to invest a certain amount of resources to design and consider manufacturing this battleship called "The Fierce General Class 7" by the Chinese.
In 1923, the economy of senior member states of the Third World Union developed rapidly, among which Russia's economy developed the fastest.
Since Russia re-established tariffs with China and other alliances, the Chinese Empire has allowed banks to release large amounts of credit loans to the Russian people within Russia, which has led to the prosperity of Russia's economy.
Although many tariffs are not very high, they are just in a general level, and Russia's industry is underdeveloped, so there are many goods imported from the Chinese Empire.
However, Russia's civilian industry began to flourish, filling a large number of market gaps, such as light industry, and Russia still needs to import a large amount of money from the Chinese Empire.
At the same time, Russia imported a large number of machinery and equipment from the Chinese Empire and opened a large number of factories.
It seems that Russia is thriving.
The economies of Jiaozhi, North Korea and South Korea have also developed. The Chinese Empire transferred some light industries to Jiaozhi and North Korea and South Korea, and at the same time, it exploited a large amount of resources in its territory, which has led to great development in the economy of the two countries.
With the economy having developed to a certain extent, Jiaozhi and Chaoxian began to leave the industry in agricultural countries and began to join the ranks of industrial countries.
Poland carried out in-depth reforms in 1923, completely abolished the communist system, and began to move towards a capital market economy. During the reform period, the Polish government received a large amount of food and other daily necessities assistance from the Chinese Empire, helping the Polish government successfully through the most difficult reform stage.
The Chinese Empire's capital entered Poland in large quantities, and at the same time transferred a large number of light industries to Poland.
Poland uses its unique geographical advantages to export these light industrial products to Europe and the Balkans.
At the same time, the capital of the Chinese Empire also entered Türkiye. China established some factories in Türkiye and exported goods to the Mediterranean region.
The fastest growing member states are the Nanyang Republic and the Kokang County.
The development speed of these two member states can only be described as riding on rockets.
First of all, in order to drive the development of the shipbuilding industry, the Chinese Empire vigorously developed the economy of the Nanyang Republic. The Nanyang Republic is located in the tropical zone and has a lot of resources, making it an ideal economic development area.
Since the opening of the railway, the economy has begun to move towards an extremely rapid development route.
The opening of the China-Myanmar Railway allowed cargo from the southwestern provinces of the Chinese Empire to be shipped directly from the railway to the coastal ports of Myanmar, and then loaded and left the port.
Or when importing raw materials, they should be unloaded directly at the coastal port of Kokang County and then transported from the railway to the southwest for preparation province.
At the same time, these two provinces are also the two powerful countries with the most capital investment in China. Among them, the Republic of Nanyang ranks first, the Kokang Counties ranked second, and Russia can only rank third.
The Chinese Empire's investment in Russia has basically completed its first round, and it is about to buy a large amount of Russian resources at a low price.
At this time, Russia's investment and construction were mainly handed over to the Russians, and the banks controlled by the East China Group were lending a large amount of money to the Russians.
Anyway, the Russians overdraw and consumed first, and then generated a large number of construction activities. When the economy collapsed, the Chinese Empire would allow the Russians to invest in construction again.
The things that were built before will belong to the holding of East China Bank [Breaking Dawn - Xunqing Comes to Dream] Bank, and the construction activities organized after the economic collapse will be owned by East China Bank, because the money can be recovered if it is spent, because the Russians owed a lot of money from East China Bank before the economic collapse.
As for letting Russia start a war, it is unlikely at present. After all, since the signing of the Hangzhou Agreement, a new round of world war is unlikely to occur within more than a decade.
The rapid development of the Nanyang Republic and the Kokang counties is naturally inseparable from huge investments, and being able to obtain such huge investments is naturally related to the fact that these two countries are actually equivalent to the two provinces of the Chinese Empire.
To develop your own provinces, what else can you do without spending money and efforts?
At the same time, Siam's economy has also improved greatly. Under the guidance of the Chinese Empire, Siam also carried out internal reforms, which is a reform model that consolidates the rights and interests of the governors while also expanding the cake.
The reforms of member states within the Third World Alliance have achieved remarkable results.
Whether it was Siam or Poland, there were rapid and tremendous changes after the reform, and the changes can be manifested as a significant improvement in people's livelihood.
After the improvement of people's livelihood, the governance within these members became very stable.
At the same time, after the reform, the Third World member states made obvious leaps in economic development, which greatly increased tax revenue.
And there has been significant development and improvement in the military.
As senior members of the Third World Alliance, they can buy various new weapons from the Chinese Empire in military terms, and the Chinese Empire will send personnel to guide them, or directly help member states to train their troops, so the speed of military improvement is very obvious.
As a ruler, what do they care most about?
Many governors do not care whether they can expand outward, etc. They just need to maintain their own governor. Many times they are very generous in selling out a little profit.
The development of the Third World Alliance member states led by the Chinese Empire greatly stimulated the nerves of those backward countries. First of all, the rulers were very moved. After all, the internal contradictions of those countries gradually disappeared under reform and development. The people began to support the rulers, and at the same time there was some military development. In addition, the Chinese Empire protected its political protection, so there was basically no need to be afraid of being invaded by other countries.
In addition to the rulers, many citizens of backward countries were very envious after seeing the development of the Third World Alliance member states and wanted to join the Third World Alliance.
As for how to convey this change to the people of backward countries, the Chinese Empire has a complete process, and the most important thing is to rely on movies.
At the same time, TV has also been added.
TV is sometimes more effective than movies, because TV is always on display all day long, and of course TV can also play movies.
Since the TV was developed and launched on the market by the Chinese Empire, it has first developed rapidly within the Chinese Empire.
The output has increased, and although the price has decreased, the increase in quantity will make the profit many times higher.
Some TVs are also exported to other countries.
Some backward countries also began to establish their own television stations with the help of the Chinese Empire.
What should I do if some small countries do not have the ability to build such rich TV stations? Then take in the TV stations of the Chinese Empire!
Just as many African countries in later generations accepted Chinese TV stations, the Chinese Empire also did this, and the scope was wider.
In 1923, the production of black and white TVs in the Chinese Empire quickly increased from 00,000 to 2 million units, with a growth rate of 2,000%.
However, 2 million units obviously cannot meet the demand, and the Chinese Empire's production on black and white TVs is still increasing.
At the same time, the TV industry of the Chinese Empire was rapidly improved, and the Chinese Empire quickly introduced various restrictions on TV broadcast content.
No violent shots can be played, criminal circumstances cannot be played, content that damages traditional ethics and morals cannot be played, false advertisements cannot be played, advertisements cannot exceed how long, etc.
There are different opinions about whether TV is good or bad.
Later generations Bhutan was the last country in the world to introduce television. The social atmosphere was relatively good before the introduction of television. Shortly after the introduction, some criminal acts that had never been heard of before occurred.
TV will give the people a lot of criminal inspiration. For example, many robbers in later generations learned the model of Hong Kong films, wearing a headband, or something, or even learned the content of Hong Kong films, putting silk stockings on their heads as headbands.
It should be said that things like TV are like a double-edged sword.
As a world power, China's policies cannot be deformed, and television must be available. So what we need to do is minimize the adverse effects.
