Chapter 642 The value of united front (fourth update, please subscribe)
For Li Yi'an, this agricultural inspection in Nanyang is just an inspection plus a trip.

There is also something that causes surprise, such as the production of oil palm, the application of palm oil, and the progress of modern breeding industry.

Everything is enough to make Li Yian unforgettable. It may be an exaggeration to say this, but this is his intuitive idea.

Originally, agriculture was the foundation of Nanyang.

Take the beef and dairy farming that involves meat-eating as an example. While Nanyang’s beef production is self-sufficient, it can already be exported to Europe. As for milk production, it has finally achieved self-sufficiency. Related companies are working on milk powder and other aspects. , with a view to opening up the international market in the future.

As for the application of palm oil, sufficient research has been conducted in research institutions to further expand its scope of use.

All in all, things are going well.

During the trip, Li Yi'an also made several decisions, from investing in agriculture in East Africa and turning Africa into the granary of Southeast Asia, to transferring industries to Malaya, Gulf Islands, Hong Kong Island and other places, and turning cheap products into The profits are in their own hands, thereby blocking Japan's post-war recovery and delaying Japan's rise again. At the same time, it has also been established to establish overseas Chinese schools and develop overseas Chinese education, thereby ensuring the construction of a higher education echelon in Nanyang.

These three things may not seem like much, but in fact, they are very important steps. It can even be said that they will directly affect the future of Nanyang.

Africa's granary is related to the future food security of Southeast Asia. Of course, food security must be in our own hands.

As for the industrial transfer that prevents Japan's rise, it is not just because of hatred, but also a deeper reason, which is related to Nanyang's future strategic layout, and even to Nanyang's future role in Asia.

As for the education of overseas Chinese, it is not only related to higher education and the construction of talent echelon in Nanyang, but also has a deeper purpose - related to the tendency of overseas Chinese.

Even the original intention of the "Gang Fund Study Abroad" program in the United States is to cultivate Tangshan students who will be pro-American in the future, so as to maintain an important influence on Tangshan for a long time. As the famous missionary Ming Enpu mentioned in a letter to the White House: "Which country can educate this generation of young people in Tangshan, and which country can make spiritual and business progress because of the efforts made in this regard?" Get the most bang for your buck.”

Li Yian is also aware of the problems that Americans were aware of decades ago. By exporting education, overseas Chinese can turn their hearts to Southeast Asia, which may even affect the future situation in Southeast Asia.

In fact, to put it bluntly, if these three things are accomplished, they are all related to Nanyang’s future role in Asia.

Not just in Asia, but maybe even in the world.

Is Nanyang a regionally wealthy country, or a prosperous big country?
This is not a multiple-choice question in itself, but a required question!

Because the people of the Tang Dynasty already had the answer in their hearts more than two thousand years ago, and that answer had long penetrated into the blood of the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Some things cannot be changed.

That is to become a great and powerful country!

It can even be a very important power.

What role will Nanyang play in the world in the future?
It is definitely a role that exceeds that of Britain and France. After all, whether it is Britain or France, they are both countries in decline.

And what about Nanyang?

It is an enterprising country. From this point of view, surpassing them is inevitable. Whether it can be compared with the United States and Soviet Russia is still unknown, and no one can predict the future. And it is still too early to say this at the moment. After all, this ultimately depends on Nanyang’s economy, technology, and of course military.

What about rockets, satellites, and even manned spaceflight?

It is just a path for Nanyang to climb the peak of science and technology. In the final analysis, it is to stimulate and promote the progress of Nanyang's scientific and technological economic development. It may not be obvious now, but the exploration of space will definitely bring about technological progress, such as computers, Technological advances in communications, materials science, and the like will ultimately benefit the entire society. In this way, the entire social economy can obtain dividends from technological development.

However, if you want to become a great and impressive country, in addition to these, there is also a very important indicator, which is military power!
In terms of military strength, Nanyang's current military strength is basically not worth mentioning. There are only a few hundred thousand troops. This highly professional army cannot guarantee that Nanyang's military power is deterrent.

And if Nanyang wants to impress the world with its military strength, what should it look for?

In the short term, it just depends on whether we can produce high-quality products.

What is this boutique?
It's the atomic bomb!
If Nanyang had atomic bombs when the traditional European powers, the United Kingdom and France, did not have atomic bombs, then in this respect, it would be on the same level as the United States and Soviet Russia.

It even gave Nanyang a value it had never had before - united front value!
Before that, Nanyang was just a regionally rich country, a country that showed amazing economic vitality and made amazing achievements in construction that attracted the attention of the world.

That's it.

No matter how rich you are, so what?

But it was just meat on the board - such as the Gold Commission investigation. Although Truman seemed to have returned to the position of his old friends in the end, what was the reality? When it was time to sacrifice Nanyang's interests, this old friend did not hesitate.

For example, the World Health Organization's groundless accusations against Jianmin Pharmaceuticals are, to put it bluntly, also because Nanyang is not a powerful country or a big country, it is just a target that can be attacked. If we try the United States, the Soviet Union, or the United Kingdom and France, they will still hesitate even if there is real evidence.

Therefore, in the final analysis, international status still depends on strength!
As for Nanyang, what can we rely on to improve this strength?

Economically, Nanyang is now the fourth largest country in the world.

"No, it's already third in the world,"

The reason why Li Yian said this is because the economic statistics for the second quarter have been released. From January to June, Nanyang's GDP has exceeded 1 billion US dollars, while the UK's was only 6 billion US dollars during the same period, which means It is already a certainty that Nanyang will become the third in the world this year.

"As the third largest economic power in the world, of course it should have military capabilities that match the national economy. In this case, the atomic bomb is an inevitable choice for Nanyang no matter what!"

On the night when Gustav and Yuan Jialiu arrived in Ningding, Li Yi'an signed his name on the "Good Morning Plan". A few hours later, the "Good Morning Plan" entered the final implementation stage.

Three days later, this unforgettable trip came to an end, skipping Taiping City.

After leaving Yongding, Li Yi'an did not go to Taiping as planned. In fact, Taiping's agriculture, namely palm planting and rice planting, was nothing new for Li Yi'an.

Compared to the Palm Garden, Li Yian has a more important place to go - Dongning. After all, some things still need to be handled personally. Only in this way can he feel more at ease.
