"Do you know why Aguba must be defeated? Because from the bottom of his heart, he is reversing history! The final fate of this land in the Western Regions can only be tied to the Chinese civilization!"
"In the entire industrial development system of Chinese civilization, it is already very good that he can successfully complete some of the arduous tasks!"
"He simply does not have the conditions to complete an industrial system independently! So Agub is a paranoid man, so what if he makes the Western Region independent?"
"In the end, it will be crushed by more advanced industrial civilization, because he can't even do the most basic construction in the feudal era. How can we expect him to complete the important task of future industrialization?"
There are some things that Xiao Letian cannot tell everyone clearly. The memory of his past life is still fresh. In the cruel competition process as the human industrial revolution climbs to the top step by step, many countries will be eliminated step by step!
At the end of the 19th century, the human power system was nothing more than the steam engine, and the ironclad was the most complex industrial product at that time!
Such an ironclad ship also requires hundreds of thousands of parts to assemble. And what scale of industry is needed to support these hundreds of thousands of parts?
The answer is millions! In other words, it is enough for a country to have one million industrial workers to engage in this industrial chain. In this way, a country with a population of four to five million can support an industrial system with a population of one million!
Because a country cannot only have workers, it also needs farmers, herdsmen, service industries, soldiers... and a series of professional sharing operations!
So in this era, Belgium can also be called an industrial power, and the Netherlands can still produce steel warships!
But at the beginning of the 20th century, the electrical, chemical and petroleum industries were added to the industrial system. Suddenly the complexity of the industry increased several times. This was not a linear growth, but a sudden geometric explosion!
The complexity of all industrial products has suddenly increased several times!
Representatives of them are World War I, the British Queen Elizabeth-class battleships and the German Baden-class battleships!
The number of parts for a main battleship like this has already exceeded two million, and even later modified models can reach more than three million!
At this time, industrial products are not something that small countries can play with! Small countries with a population of one million, such as Belgium and the Netherlands, have been excluded from the ranks of industrial powers!
At this time, only large countries with a population of tens of millions are eligible to play two stud games on this card table!
At that time, France had a population of more than 40 million and Germany had a population of more than 60 million... Only such a country could support an industrial population of tens of millions and thus support such a huge branch of the industrial tree!
Only if a country can keep all its industrial branches within its own country without relying on other countries can it be regarded as a real industrial power!
By the time of World War II, the number of basic components had increased to several million, which meant that Germany, with 65 million people, could launch a war, and France was out one month after the war started.
But Germany must also give up the development and production of super weapons such as strategic bombers, aircraft carriers and bombs!
Japan, which has a similar population size, can build aircraft carriers but cannot build decent tanks.
The only country that has access to both sea and land is the United States, which has a population of hundreds of millions.
The Soviet Union lacked reserves in naval technology, but it could always overpower Germany by building tanks, artillery, and rocket launchers.
In the final analysis, the strong get stronger! A huge population base, huge land resources, a huge educated population, a huge industrial population... When these are brought together, it is called an industrial power!
This road has no end. After World War II, mankind entered the nuclear age. At this time, a complete industrial system requires tens of millions of basic industrial parts to support it!
An industrial system of this scale can only be undertaken by a country with a population of over 100 million!
Therefore, the United States and the Soviet Union could only compete for hegemony, and other countries would completely stand aside... Although China and India had a population of over 100 million at that time, they had too many agricultural populations and a poor foundation and could only become industrial vassal states!
The total number of parts of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier exceeds one billion. Industrial products of this scale are not something that weak and small countries can get their hands on!
Why does Europe want to create an EU? It’s not that those countries want to do it, but if they don’t do it, they will be eliminated in all aspects!
They must integrate the human and material resources across Europe to survive in the third industrial revolution and occupy the high points of some industries!
Only in this way can we survive, have business, and maintain European living standards!
If the industrial population and manufacturing capabilities of these two dozen European countries are not integrated to form an entity with a population of hundreds of millions, Europe will simply not be able to survive.
The three industrial revolutions have severely divided the human world. In fact, in Xiao Letian's previous life, it was already a miracle that China could rise in seventy years after World War II!
When the United States and the Soviet Union have entered the nuclear age, the space age, the information age... and begun to enter the fourth industrial revolution, China was actually able to catch up from an agricultural country in just a few decades!
What is this if not a miracle? Perhaps it can only be called a miracle!
On this road of great power competition, many countries have been eliminated. Looking at the star countries of the Age of Discovery, Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands, they did not even survive the first industrial revolution!
The powerful Austro-Hungarian Empire fell at the most glorious peak of the Second Industrial Revolution, and Britain, France, and Germany also retreated one after another. In the end, the only achievements were the United States and the Soviet Union, two superpowers with a population of hundreds of millions!
It is simply unbelievable that China's industrialization can be reversed and surpassed when the whole of Europe can no longer keep up!
Now Xiao Letian has his own greater ambitions. He even wants to push forward the time when China starts industrial civilization by another hundred years!
During the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, China was allowed to jump on the train of industrialization. Looking forward, what kind of miracles will this country and this nation have?
But Xiao Letian could only be secretly excited about all this, but he couldn't share it with anyone!
Looking at Cao Shuai's eager expression, Xiao Letian smiled helplessly, "Your eagerness is good, I can understand it... But no matter what, industrialization is a great cause that is extremely scientific and requires more than just enthusiasm! "
"Relax. Now that you're here, you have to take a good look and investigate...I'll give you the green light to take a look at the Chinese military-industrial enterprises and high-tech research institutes with your own eyes!"
"Use your heart to judge and analyze... Is it better for the Western Region to carry out industrialization alone? Or is it better to fully integrate into the Chinese family and share part of the industrial tasks?"
"All judgments must rely on your own heart!"
