    Chapter 371: Undercurrent

    Of course, the development speed of global science and technology also depends on Li Tiancheng's attitude. Li Tiancheng will impose certain restrictions on the planning and development of the science and technology field in real time, because he does not want technology to develop too fast, and people's purchasing power has not yet been formed.  , after such technology comes out, there will not be a big market to digest it, and the income of scientific workers who rely on research and development technology will not increase.

    For example, high-speed railway technology is very easy for China to master. However, the cross-provincial mobility and consumption power of Chinese people are not enough to make high-speed railway profitable in China now. Therefore, the country is deliberately controlling the time when this technology appears.  , perhaps twenty years later is the best time for this technology to be widely promoted.

    In the field of machinery manufacturing that has gained extensive development and is closely related to people's lives, automobile manufacturing technology has developed by leaps and bounds for more than 20 years. The production technology of a series of world-famous automobile companies such as German Mercedes-Benz Motors was quickly adopted by Zhenhua Automobile  The new technology of the group company has surpassed the past, which forced Mercedes-Benz and other car giants of the generation to lower their heads and go to the ancient Eastern countries to find opportunities to cooperate in the production of new cars and develop their new business opportunities.

    Various models of Zhenhua brand cars have surpassed established car brands such as Mercedes-Benz in all aspects such as appearance quality and performance. Zhenhua brand cars have launched automatic transmission versions, which other car companies cannot do, with various displacements.  Cars are flooding in, providing demand for consumers at various levels. Of course, the popularity of cars has not yet spread around the world, and it will take at least more than twenty years. Therefore, global car production is much lower than that of the 21st century.  s level.

    In terms of domestic politics related to social stability, the Kuomintang led by Chen Qimei and Chiang Kai-shek gradually declined as Li Tiancheng looked for every opportunity to suppress and suppress it. It lost one seat after another in the Congress, and several other domestic parties.  Together with the newly formed small political parties, they gradually faded out of the political stage and became an auxiliary party that provided political advice to the ruling Democratic Party. The number of Democratic Party members in the National Assembly has exceeded 90%, and the membership of other political parties has exceeded 90%.  The number of candidates for election is limited to less than 10%. Li Tiancheng has written this into the newly formulated Chinese Constitution, thus laying a solid foundation for ensuring the absolute dominance of the Democratic Party.

    After Li Tiancheng once again took over the power as he wished, the country's politics stabilized. The Constitution stipulated the lifelong system of the president. Before the president announced his abdication and promoted his successor, the country would no longer hold presidential elections. Future presidential elections will also be determined by Congress.  The successors proposed by Tiancheng will be voted on. In fact, the list of members of Congress is basically under Li Tiancheng's control. Disobedient members will naturally be suppressed politically to a certain extent. Replacing them with a group of people who can resolutely implement Li Tiancheng's actions  Intentional person.

    In terms of national defense and military construction, the Zhencheng Army has expanded to a large army with one million regular troops and one and a half million reserve troops. The number of troops exceeds that of the United States, Britain and France combined. Due to the restrictions of the Berlin Treaty, the total number of troops in the three countries has increased.  shall not exceed one-third of China's.

    The size of the German Royal Army remained at around 800,000, second only to China in size. The Kaiser was driven off the stage of history by an uprising organized by the German Nazi Party in 1930. The German regime was gradually controlled by the dictatorial Nazi Party.  , the great dictator Hitler is gradually becoming active on the historical stage, becoming the almost perfect candidate to be the next leader of the German Nazi Party.

    The political systems of other countries have not changed much after World War I. However, most European countries have embarked on the path of party governance. Several small countries such as Bulgaria and Serbia have abolished their imperial systems and newly formed political parties control national power. However, Turkey still maintains its  The original imperial style and historical changes allowed them to retain the extensive Arab land controlled by the empire. The Arab region has still not been freed from Turkish rule.

    Turkey has also become the second largest power in Europe after Germany. Its military, national economy, and industrial development levels are roughly the same as Germany's. However, Germany has more troops stationed in Europe, a wider scope of influence, and poor military quality and technical equipment.  The level is also much higher. It is still the largest country in the European continent and its status is unshakable.

    In terms of the navy related to global strategy, China's navy of 300,000 people ranks first in the world. Second-generation aircraft carriers capable of taking off and landing jet aircraft have been put into service one after another. China maintains ten new aircraft carrier fleets and ten old aircraft carriers.  The size of the fleet includes more than 500 new carrier-based aircraft, J-6, J-7 and other series of naval aviation aircraft, and more than 700 first-generation propeller aircraft.

    ¡°Compared to the propeller-driven fighters that are still in service in the Navy, the speed and maneuverability of jet aircraft are obviously very superior, and there is a gap across generations.

    Although Germany and other countries asked China to help develop jet naval aircraft through different channels, China gave a clearIn response, they repeatedly rejected their suggestions on the grounds of endangering national security.

    However, Germany and the United States are also at the forefront of the world in the development of air force jet aircraft. They use various channels of technical detection, recruit Chinese and foreign talents in this field, extensively collect information on China's scientific and technological development, and use friendly relations to  Sending some overseas students to learn advanced scientific knowledge, the development speed is far from comparable to that in real historical periods.

    Of course, China will not show off its most advanced technology to others. It is very necessary to maintain its technological advantages over other countries. For example, nuclear physics is rarely open to foreign countries, and a certain amount of talent training in this area has been reserved.  , under the leadership of a gradually growing group of scientific and technological personnel, the secret development and testing of nuclear weapons has made certain progress, but it is kept secret from the outside world.

    The United States and Germany have designed several air force jet models, which have begun to serve in the air force. Their designs basically imitate the appearance features and internal structure layout of China's J-5 jet aircraft, and their performance is also similar.  There is not much difference with the J-5, but slightly worse than the improved version of the J-5.

    After the emergence of the J-12 fighter jet that China has secretly tested, the world's fighter jets have entered the third generation period. Of course, no actual fighter jet has entered service yet. Although China's confidentiality work is relatively good, the existence of the J-12 fighter jet has gradually  Be known to the international community.

    The second-generation fighters of the United States, Germany and other countries have not yet formed large-scale armies, and the navies have not yet used jet aircraft. China has once again leapfrogged a generation, with the emergence of third-generation fighters with advanced electronic technology, which has shocked the minds of those in power in the United States, Germany and other countries.  Their worries have intensified, and they seem to have entered an embarrassing historical situation, that is, no matter how hard they try, they find that the Chinese have once again come to the front.

    Politicians in Europe and the United States are all analyzing where China's technology has reached, what other technologies will appear in the future, and when will it end. If this continues, China will always be ahead of Europe and the United States, leaving them only able to touch China.  Following the pace of China, this is the fact that Europeans and Americans least want to see, but it is painfully happening every day, as if God has really abandoned them.

    Although the world seems to have been in peace for many years, contradictions are still gradually emerging. Europeans and Americans have long been deeply afraid of the fear of China's power and the huge threat of Chinese products.

    Germany began to gradually loosen its control over European and American countries. At a recent international security conference, it suddenly proposed the idea of ??restoring the defense development and other reasonable status of the United States, Britain, France, Russia and other countries. However, it encountered strong opposition from the Chinese representative on the spot and had to give up.  , but Germany is joining forces with Turkey and other countries, and countries such as Britain, France, the United States, and Russia are also working hard to prepare to put forward this proposal again at the next international security conference and let their suggestions succeed through voting.

    Therefore, due to worries that China's surge in power will seriously affect the world balance sooner or later, European and American countries, which were originally full of contradictions, have once again joined hands when their interests are at stake. They are secretly trying to create a multinational balancing force to compete with those who are alone in the most serious situation.  China, which is extremely powerful, maintains a balance of strength, so that the world can have a sense of security and stable confidence.

    In the more than ten years after the end of World War I, the world has undergone great changes, especially in recent years, the China threat theory has become more and more intense, and Germany has gradually begun to move towards the path of letting go of its hands to check and balance China. Let Li Tiancheng talk about peace.  The mid- to long-term development plan has encountered certain resistance, and we have to reconsider new strategic issues and prepare for them in advance.

    Li Tiancheng originally had a well-described development blueprint in his mind. At least in the next fifty years, China will continue to lead the world in the direction of peaceful development, and the world will maintain relative stability and prosperity under the leadership of the Chinese giant.  This beautiful situation will last until Li Tiancheng passes away safely.

    However, the international situation has changed a lot in recent years, with undercurrents surging and pointing directly at China. China is gradually becoming isolated. The European and American powers, which were invincible in the world in the last century, seem to be starting to fight again at this intriguing historical moment.  They miss the glory that their ancestors brought to them by conquering the whole world, and the Chinese, the end of this glorious halo, are the culprits who took away this pride that they maintained.

    After World War I, this historical contradiction was temporarily covered up as countries struggled to cope with war reparations and were forced to develop their domestic economies, improve people's lives, and improve their scientific and technological levels. But now, European and American countries, which are gradually recovering their strength, are beginning to burn in their bones again.  With a burst of blood, the souls of their proud ancestors seemed to be calling to them at this moment, warning them that these descendants could no longer give up the glory of their ancestors to the Chinese, and could not allow the Chinese to develop and grow at will, otherwise the opposite would happen.  The peak will be at some pointSuddenly coming to the world, the halo of shame that is the opposite of glory will be placed on the heads of the once proud Europeans and Americans at a foreseeable point in time. Even God will be eclipsed by this halo.  .

    History is such a wonderful thing. Peace is often just a flash in the pan. Long-lasting peace is often just a beautiful and illusory dream of mankind in the long history. However, contradictions have become the eternal factors that stimulate the collapse of peace, and the intensification of contradictions usually leads to the collapse of peace.  It breaks out in a concentrated manner during a specific historical period, leading to another startling change in history. War may suddenly come to the world when peace comes to an end.

    Although Li Tiancheng has very rich historical knowledge, he has continued to study history and the entire process of World War I in recent years, as well as compare the impact of World War I on the world with that of another time and space. He has drawn many constructive conclusions and summarized more  For rich and full historical experience.

    But although Li Tiancheng, who has a powerful super system, is only a mortal body, he cannot predict the future of the world, especially in a world that has been changed. Many of the original historical experiences are meaningless.  The world is completely different from the original version of the historical period. The situation has become more complicated and the unknown is more obvious.

    The huge changes in the international situation in recent years were also unexpected by Li Tiancheng. He originally thought that the entire world would be controlled by the Chinese giant, like an obedient pet raised by its owner, and gradually move forward along the route set by the owner.  This creates a beautiful situation in which master and servant live in harmony and love each other for a long time.

    But history has proven that the closeness of countries around the world to China is far from being comparable to the pets raised in China. The inverse scales in their bones have only been temporarily suppressed. Maybe today or maybe tomorrow they will suddenly burst out.

    ??In the Nanjing Presidential Palace Building, whose exterior walls have been painted vermilion, the traditional Chinese festive color, a busy and stalwart figure still flashes in the presidential office on the third floor, a great man who changed history and made great achievements.

    Twenty years after coming to this world, Li Tiancheng has transformed into a middle-aged man in his early thirties who has experienced vicissitudes of life. His fair and delicate skin has become a little darker due to the baptism of time, but it is still bright and bright.  His eyes are still so sharp and full of wisdom that cannot be underestimated.

    A rosy forehead shines under the 37-cent shiny hair, which is exposed from the dark brown huanghuali wood desk. A one-meter-long and wide color world map blocks his mature and quiet face.  face.

    Across the table sits Cai E, the newly appointed Minister of Defense two years ago. Cai E, who is already in his fifties, is wearing a straight green military uniform. The yellow and white four-stripes and three stars on the shoulder bars indicate that he has reached the high rank of general.  Although his face has traces of old wrinkles left over time, the heroic demeanor of his youth can still be easily seen from his sharp eyes and resolute and free face.

    Historically, Cai E died of illness at a young age, but Li Tiancheng, who was well aware of this historical event, had already reminded Cai E many times physically, thus early discovering his potential visceral lesions. Combined with the increasingly advanced medical equipment in the country,  After long-term follow-up treatment, Cai E's condition was completely contained, and he remained in good health until Li Tiancheng paid attention to him again and was promoted to the position of Minister of Defense.

    Huang Xing, the former Minister of Defense, still did not change his original intention despite Li Tiancheng's repeated persuasion. His absolute loyalty to the Kuomintang forced Li Tiancheng to lose the support of Huang Xing, a simple and loving general, who received a generous retirement salary.  Retirement at home was also Li Tiancheng's way of dealing with some of the revolutionary comrades outside the party. He cut off the power in their hands but still ensured the continuation of their fulfilling lives. This was considered the most benevolent and righteous act.

    "When a country develops to this level, it requires more and more strategic resources and becomes more and more extensive. I am afraid that domestic oil exploration will gradually fail to keep up with the needs of industrial development." Li Tiancheng stared at the southern part of Turkey on the map with sharp eyes.  On the vast Arab territory, his fingers lightly traced across the dazzling colorful lines, and then he slowly opened his mouth and whispered meaningfully: "Besides, our oil resources must have certain strategic reserves. Purchasing oil from overseas will take a long time."  Become the main way of utilizing our resources in the future.¡±

    The rapid development in the past two decades after the war has completely transformed China from a big country with both agriculture and industry into a big country with industry as the main body. The industrial development rate doubles every two to five years, making China's industrial total  The volume has reached a scale of 100 billion US dollars, which attracts world attention.

    This scale has reached the combined European and American industrial countries, accounting for more than 40% of the world. The remaining more than ten percent is occupied by China and the third pole world outside Europe and the United States. Their development is still far away.  Far from rushingThe pace of the European and American powers, which have a solid foundation, cannot be compared with China, which has super rapid momentum.

    After the end of World War I, China's industrial growth rate has almost always remained above 20%, and its total industrial volume has increased thirty times. During the same period, European and American countries were suppressed by China's technological advantages, and their industrial development has long been below 10%.  growth rate. In the past ten years, although the war-torn European countries have gradually recovered their strength, the total industrial output of the entire Europe has only increased by about five times compared with before the war, lagging far behind the development speed of the Chinese giant.

    The European region's total industrial output of nearly 50 billion U.S. dollars and the U.S.'s total industrial output of more than 40 billion U.S. dollars occupy the second pole position in the world. Among countries, the total industrial output of Germany and Turkey exceeded 10 billion U.S. dollars.  The top three countries, including Britain, France and Russia, have exceeded US$20 billion in total. Other countries have shared the remaining US$10 billion. This is how the industrial strength of each country is roughly distributed.

    It is precisely because China has occupied almost one-third of the entire world and is moving towards one-half, or even bigger and stronger, that it has successively caused an atmosphere of panic in the entire world. The birth of a super giant has made all living beings  Gradually becoming like ants, they can almost still be ravaged by giants. This historical situation has never happened before in the entire history of mankind for millions of years. Therefore, the reactions of countries around the world have become so cautious and subtle and sensitive. It is also true that  It's excusable.
