Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Insufficient Conditions

"If you can't push more projects at the same time, and only push one or two industries at the same time, then your industry is lame!"

"At that time, you will discover that the problem with your equipment is that you have to wait for people from over ten thousand miles away to repair it. You need to travel across the Ocean to purchase the components … If you lose time, then what's the profit? "There's nothing left at all..."

"How do you survive in a factory without a profit? Financial aid? Being able to subsidize for one year, could it be able to subsidize for ten to a hundred years? "

"Western Regions does not have the qualifications to start an industrial system at the same time!"

"The second difficulty is that industrialization requires a huge number of educated basic crowd. You should know how to read the Chinese characters, Arabian numbers and even simple English words written on those equipment! "

"You have to understand the simplest way to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. At the very least, you have to ensure that the materials are fed! Is that right? Do you want to cut down a centimeter or 1.5 centimeters? They all need to be calculated... "

"Does the Western Regions have such conditions for basic education? On the Manchu's side, if the literacy rate was any lower, at least the language and language would be the same … A little training is enough for a mature worker! "

"But the Ethnic Group s don't even speak the same language, let alone the words … How can you start an industrial tank without a huge educated population? "

Xiao Letian shook his head: "Ideal cannot replace reality, these two points are not done yet, there's still a third point … … Industry needs a huge market to digest its productivity. Does the Western Regions have a market? How big is it? "Can you guarantee that you will make a profit?"

"The entire Western Regions only has a population of two to three million. How many products do you think this is capable of digesting? Cao Shuai, you should go to Tanggu Industrial Special Zone and have a look. You should personally go see how the products are made amidst the rumbling sounds of the steam engines! "

"A market with a population of two to three million, one industrial district for one quarter is enough. The rest of the time, we'll just have to lie in bed and rest?"

"Without a convenient path, you won't be able to sell your surplus productivity to the city … Of course you can dump them on some of the Country s, but that won't be enough! "

"How much can those nomadic peoples s and the extremely poor farming Popular s buy?"

"You can't possibly sell your goods to the India, right? Or was it the Middle East? Directly compete with the British businessman in the market? "

"How can you industrialize without a huge market that can digest capacity?"

"To tell you the truth, I have extremely pessimistic judgments about the future world peace! For the sake of competing for the market, and for the sake of dumping their extra productivity, the Western Powers would definitely launch a war! "

"There is no solution to this market problem, even the Europa is powerless! Do you think that a Western Regions can get away with it? "

"The last one …" Xiao Letian was silent for a moment, then continued, "The last and most important thing is that we need an extremely strong Government!"

"Without a strong centralized Government organization that can suppress all of the objections in the country, you won't be able to change the inertia force of humans for thousands of years!"

"Take a good look at how strong the anti-industrial power of the is, how Darkening of the railways, how it is being blackened, how it is being demonized by the Technology of science!"

"The land, the resources, the population are all controlled by strong, traditional forces … Let's not talk about the distance, there is already a large amount of iron ore in the Swallow Mountain Range north of Tanggu District, but will those villagers sell you their land so that you can mine it? "

"They won't, they'll cause trouble, they'll smash and rob …" Our prospecting team has already been beaten up several times, and some people have even been seriously injured! "

"And this is still just a normal mountain villager, and a normal landowner class would give you land to build a Special Administrative Region? Back then, when I single-handedly created the Tanggu District, I was able to do it after being pressured by iron blood and after being deceived! "

"Why do I have to rent territory from the Manchu? Because I know that I do not have the ability to obtain the land from the s, so who can I rely on? "

"Of course it's the Kaiser of the Great Qing Kingdom. He's the biggest landowner in the world! Only by getting the land and resources from him can he proceed with his large-scale plans! "

"How hard do you think that is? Western Regions is, after all, a place where many Ethnic Group live mixed together, and is also a remote border area of the Clear Empire.

"At this time, where are you implementing Government's dominance? I'm afraid if one A Gubai dies, another one will jump out later! "

Cao Shuai's face was completely pale. He realized that the entire Northwest Army was making things simple, so Industrial Revolution was so complicated, pushing forward was so hard!

"Could it be... Can't you try it? " Cao Shuai asked in despair!

Xiao Letian firmly shook his head and turned to Xiang Ying. "You tell him … Iron-armored Ship is the highest level of industrial products that humans have right now, tell him how difficult it is to create it! "

"Yes sir!" Xiang Ying immediately answered: "When the Far were still on the design, we calculated that the total number of parts inside the Battleship was over ninety thousand."

"But when I started making the dragon bone, the number of parts rose to 120,000 … After that, as the project progressed little by little, the blueprints were also modified a few times, and when the Far finally launched the trial... "

"Brother Cao, do you know how many parts are required for this Battleship?"

The Cao Shuai shook his head in confusion. Xiang Ying said, "When the Far went into the water, the whole ship would have more than 210,000 parts!"

"Can you imagine a total of 210,000 parts coming together to form such a Battleship? "I think you should be able to feel that industry is a very difficult business. It is absolutely impossible to manage it without being deeply scientific!"

"Of course, we still need a strong country!" Xiao Letian continued!

"Far currently need two hundred ten thousand parts, but the following new set of Iron-armored Ship parts could reach three hundred thousand … This trend will be irreversible in the future! "

"The application of electricity, the input of new energy, more powerful weapons and communication systems … "Those components are as small as grains of rice, and so big that they need hundreds of thousands of tons of forging press to process …"

"In the future, there will definitely be millions of component level Steel battleship, maybe even tens of millions … How can the weak Country have a God of War like that? "

"Do you really think that a Western Regions, with a population of two to three million uneducated people, can sustain such an industrial system?"

"Among all the elements of industrial development, the Western Regions only has a little more resources."

"Think about it carefully, the reason why you said that A Gubai would definitely lose, what you said yourself!"
