Chapter 1079 Darkness of Chencang (Second update, please subscribe)
Not ready for war!

This is the most important thing!
What is the most critical preparation?
Not industry, but population!

Industry can be promoted, stimulated and driven by large infrastructure.In fact, Daming's industrial expansion was driven by infrastructure.Keynesian economics has not been seen in this year!
But Emperor Zhu knew it.What did Ming's industrial development rely on in these years?One is the five-year plan with remarkable effect in the era of heavy industry, and the other is the infrastructure stimulus of Keynesian economics.

If it wasn't for the fact that the scale of the industry couldn't increase due to the limitations of the times, under the current benign stimulus, the scale of Daming's industrial economy could at least double.

But the population is not.

What is the population of the Ming Empire?
The Chinese population in the African colonies is 1600 million, of which 330 million are of Japanese origin and 410 million are of East-Black mixed race.As for Native blacks...not counted.

There are 370 million Chinese in the Northern Territory.78 in the Success Islands and the Pacific Territories.

Dongying Protectorate has 2700 million people.

There are 4750 million people in the empire, of which nearly 3900 million are Chinese, including 600 million Japanese and Nanyang brides.There are 760 million Europeans and mixed races, and 180 million Indians.

This is the current demographic composition of the Empire.

It’s quite a lot together, almost approaching [-] million people, but in the population statistics of the empire, it will always be divided into two parts-Chinese and non-Chinese.After all, the Chinese are the fundamentals. This is the fundamental principle that the empire has adhered to for many years, and the Chinese are given priority.

No one knows better than Emperor Zhu what is meant by non-self race, and his heart must be different. After all, in the long-term simulation in the early days of Nanhua's establishment, the betrayal of European immigrants almost destroyed Nanhua, and Nanhua almost perished the kingdom .

Because of this, Emperor Zhu is even in this country.How to strengthen the weak branches, and what principles should be adhered to!
Therefore, this population is often discounted in the statistics of the Ming Empire.Except for the Chinese, everyone else is a fool.

However, compared with other ethnic groups, the population growth of Chinese is rapid.Every year, millions of Chinese immigrants flood into all parts of the empire, and there are more than 550 million newborns.

What's behind this seemingly pleasing number?
It is the proportion of Chinese minors in the empire that exceeds 60%.This is the inevitability of the super-high fertility rate caused by the special population composition of the empire, which is dominated by immigrants from the prime of life.

One out of every two people is a minor. How can we fight a world war?
Fighting a world war requires people!What is needed is the kind of passionate youth who is willing to die generously for the empire without any worries.

"Your Majesty, one out of every four people in the empire is a baby under the age of three. This is not only the capital of the empire, but also the root cause of the empire's failure to complete its war preparations. There is one minor in every two people. In my opinion Come on, at least 20 years before Sidley, we should not break out of a full-scale war with the United Kingdom. If possible, it should be limited to around 25 years. Tens of millions will not affect industrial and agricultural production and child rearing..."

As the Prime Minister of the empire, Qian Degong has to consider more issues, and of course it is more comprehensive. The large number of minors is the biggest weakness of Ming Dynasty. What is the biggest weakness of this weakness?It's because a large number of middle-aged men are fathers, and they still have a few children. When it comes to war, it is inevitable that they worry too much!And once killed in battle, the burden of raising the country is also very heavy.After all, the empire is not the kind of country that ignores the family members of the deceased soldiers when their soldiers are killed in battle. Da Ming not only asks, but also takes care of their families all the time.And this, of course, means additional expenses.This burden has to be considered.

His analysis made Emperor Zhu nodded in agreement.

"I have also considered these issues, but Prime Minister Qian ignored them a little bit."

Looking at Qian Degong, Emperor Zhu said.

"Don't forget, I still have an imperial samurai sword in my hand!"

The katana sword of the empire!

who is it?

Of course they are from Japan.

"Dongying is the poorest area in the empire. There are millions of young and middle-aged people in Dongying who want to serve the empire in exchange for the opportunity of naturalization. As far as the empire is concerned, it is a pity that this sharp samurai sword is not used. very."

In fact, Emperor Zhu did not have any prejudice against the Dongying people, and even in his heart, he had long regarded the Dongying people as a part of China.

The same text and the same family.The reason why they are not allowed to be naturalized right now is because the barbarian spirit on them has not been removed. Of course, if they can be loyal to the country, they must be naturalized. Although there are some differences between naturalized people and imperial subjects, But their next generation will be real imperial subjects.

Sometimes Emperor Zhu felt that he was too kind and treated them so kindly.It actually provides them with so much room for improvement.

"However, right now, it's true that it's not time for a full-scale war. We're not ready, and the British...are not ready for anything."

Emperor Zhu smiled coldly.

"Since everyone is not ready, let's use Peru to test the bottom line of Britain. In this incident, the empire might as well use the strategy of building plank roads in the open and keeping the warehouse in the dark."

It is precisely because everyone is not ready that there is a chance to steal the chicken.If everyone was ready, there would be no such opportunity.Right now it can be said that the opportunity is rare.

"Ming repairing the plank road and secretly keeping Chencang?"

"That's right, it's Mingxiu plank road secretly hiding Chen Cang!"

Emperor Zhu nodded, then he walked to the globe on the side, turned to Cuba and said.

"Cuba, what is it to the United States? It is a place that must be saved. Although our northern territory borders the United States, it is also the vast west. Where is the most prosperous area in the United States? It is the east! If we seize Cuba, we will It can directly threaten its eastern coastal area, and the fleet deployed in Cuba can directly threaten New York. In this case, we will form a comprehensive and overwhelming offensive posture against the United States!"

What is Cuba to the United States?
In the words of Heda Corn Cob, it is a testicle that hurts when pressed.

"So under such circumstances, the United States will never allow us to occupy Cuba! In this way..."

Qian Degong seemed to think of something, he turned the globe and said.

"The United States can no longer take Hawaii into account, we can annex Hawaii smoothly."

"Then Hawaii is Chencang?"

Fang Zhanbo frowned.

"Exchanging Cuba for Hawaii is not very cost-effective. Although the United States is more aggressive towards our monopoly of Hawaii, the British reaction is not strong. I think that in the end, Hawaii can still be resolved through negotiations."

"That's right, it's a disadvantage to use Hawaii as an old warehouse, but what if this old warehouse is the Federation of Peru and Bolivia?"

Emperor Zhu turned the globe to the position of Peru. He had long coveted the saltpeter mines in Peru, and in his plan, the Federation of Peru and Bolivia was a country that would be destroyed.

"Peru-Bolivia Federation?"

Qian Degong frowned, why did he come back again?

"My plan is that we first use the "Cuban Crisis" to attract everyone's attention to Cuba. At this time, the United States and the United Kingdom will definitely do their best to prevent us from occupying Cuba. When the whole world is paying attention to Cuba, we will make a quick decision. , Destroy Peru! Use the fait accompli to force Britain to make concessions on the Peru issue! Whether to protect Cuba or protect Peru!"

In fact, it is just throwing multiple-choice questions to the British and Americans.

"It must be Cuba. For the United States, Peru is too far away. Compared with Peru, Cuba occupied by us is a greater threat! So the United States will acquiesce in the fact that we occupy Peru, in exchange for us withdrawing troops from Cuba, without the United States Even if the UK has the heart to support it, it will be difficult to support it alone! In the end, we can only face the reality!"

Fang Zhanbo's eyes lit up, and he said.

"In this way, we have broken the restriction of the UK's neck."

Only when the neck is stuck can I know how uncomfortable it is. The feeling of not being able to expand is really uncomfortable!

It is of course a good thing to break this deadlock.

Cheng Dingkang said from the side.

"Your Majesty, the only prerequisite for them to accept the reality is that we must make a quick decision and occupy Peru before the countries react! This is the next country! How can it be so fast?"

Facing Cheng Dingkang's question, Emperor Zhu just smiled slightly, then stared at the globe in front of him and did not speak.

It's not impossible to want to be fast...
