    Chapter 913: There is no limit to human desire. When you are in a position, your eyes will always be fixed on a higher position.  ¡­¨Q, people, that¡¯s probably the case!  Has Chen Pu ever thought about becoming independent?  To be precise, I definitely haven¡¯t thought about it now.  But what he is doing is developing in this direction.  North America is very large. If you don't count the local indigenous people, the population of Ming Dynasty is just over 10 million.  This is destined to have a result. Each governor is very independent and has great power.  The mainland of the Ming Dynasty was thousands of miles away, so why would it take several months to reach North America if an order was issued?  If everything has to follow the baton of the cabinet, everything will be delayed.  The cabinet¡¯s requirements for North America are very clear, which is stability + expansion.  It should be said that the governors across North America have done a good job.  But they all have a tendency to rely heavily on Chen Pu.  What does it depend on?  railway!  Without railroads, there would be no development of North America.  Dependence on railways begins, followed by various forms of dependence, and even local security issues, often relying on civilian armed forces such as road protection teams.  To put it harshly, except for the regular army, the weapons in the hands of any governor of Ming Dynasty in North America are no match for the road protection team.  Because of the special characteristics of North America, Chen Pu could be said to have walked sideways along the railway, interfering in the governor's affairs many times.  There is even a saying in America that the words of the governor are not effective, but the words of President Chen are.  "You are a smart boy. You must learn to achieve your goals through hidden means, instead of like this. The authority of the government must be maintained. Rather than exposing yourself to the public eye, if you don't even understand this, it will be difficult in the future.  There will be greater achievements. That¡¯s it, let¡¯s appreciate it carefully.¡± Black smoke billowed on the lake in Michigan, and small steamboats shuttled back and forth.  This is the best place to be in America in the future.  The water system in the Great Lakes region determines the heavy industrial base that will inevitably emerge here.  Standing by the lake, looking at the still blue water, Chen Xie unexpectedly thought of an interesting modern story.  The purpose of Americans introducing Asian carp was to digest heavy metals, and since there were no natural enemies, the carp became overrun in the United States.  online.  Some people sell fish from the Great Lakes (I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s genuine or not), but it¡¯s certain that some people actually buy it.  These fish contain a lot of heavy metals. If you eat them, you will die immediately. If you eat too much, you will definitely have problems.  The pollution of the Great Lakes water system is precisely due to industrialization.  No matter Europe, the United States or China, as long as you follow the path of industrialization, pollution is absolutely inevitable.  ¡°Looking at the steamships on Lake Michigan now, there are already signs of this.  There is coal and iron nearby.  Railways were also built.  It is conceivable that with the development of North America, this place is the best place in the world to develop heavy industry, with all the conditions.  The large amounts of water needed by industry, convenient and cheap water transportation, and all the required resources are readily available.  Chen Xie once thought about giving up industrial development in North America and turning it into an agricultural region.  In the end the idea was abandoned.  The reason is simple, it is not allowed to be done now.  Someone will still do it in the future.  As long as you practice constitutional monarchy capitalism, this kind of thing is simply unavoidable. ? Then why not deindustrialize?  If this question is really raised, it would be ridiculous.  The earth has not yet been unified. As long as there are more than two countries in this world, industrialization will not disappear.  Deindustrialization is tantamount to suicide. If the Chinese government really increases environmental protection taxes due to pollution problems.  A large number of businesses in this country will collapse.  The collapse of large companies means that a large number of people will be unemployed, and the degree of social instability will increase.  Of course, we are not against pollution control. This issue must be treated correctly.  But the harm caused by pollution is infinitely exaggerated.  Too much is not enough.  China is already on the road to urbanization. If the unemployment rate remains high, there will be big problems.  A very simple example is Detroit, the Motor City.  I won¡¯t go into details about what this city is like now, but you can search for it.  Well, I digressed a little bit, let¡¯s get back to the topic.  Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty certainly does not have to worry about pollution problems, and the people only have a few full meals.  To put it mildly, there are still many places where you can¡¯t even eat three meals a day.  On the premise that people's survival problems have not been solved, it is meaningless to talk about other things.  Just like the civil uprising in the late Ming Dynasty, why did Yang He, who advocated pacification, fail?  Everyone knows the reason: there is not enough money and food.  It is normal for people to take desperate risks when they cannot survive.  What we see in history books may be just a line of words.  "Thousands of miles away from hunger, Yi Zi cannibalize each other." Don't underestimate this line of words. There are human lives in it, not just one or two, but in units of tens of thousands.  Once such a situation occurs, turmoil is inevitable. Once it falls into turmoil, human life is not as valuable as dog life.  "What a chosen place!" Chen Xie on the steamboat couldn't help but sigh as he looked at everything in front of him.  How many years did it take for the United States to go from its founding to becoming the world's most powerful country?  The location is great??In such a large country, the number of soldiers in the army was no more than 100,000.  There is no threat at all in the surrounding area, with the Pacific Ocean on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other.  In its heyday, Britain could not handle an independent United States hooked up with France.  Then the Civil War destroyed Britain's raw material base and industrial products market.  After two world wars, American imperialism finally came to the top.  This country, in modern history, is like cheating. It is so lucky!  You must visit New York. Although it is not even a small city now, Chen Xie still stayed here for a week.  If the vibration frequency of the watch on his wrist hadn't increased again, Chen Xie might have stayed for a while longer before leaving.  Feeling that the date of his departure was getting closer, Chen Xie seized the time and set off from New York. The European Fleet specially sent a cruiser to embark on his only trip to Europe in this time and space.  It was a long journey, even though there were people taking good care of him along the way, Chen Xie still felt tired.  No matter how good the ships of this era are, they cannot reach the level of modern luxury cruise ships.  Of course, Chen Xie was on a luxury cruise ship. This was the Oriental cruise ship specially brought from Europe. It is the only one in the world now.  If someone else takes over the ship, there will be big trouble and some commotion.  Now it was Chen Xie. Not only did no one make a fuss, but they cheered unanimously.  The soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty really hope that Prime Minister Chen can live a long life. He is the founder of the revival of the Ming Dynasty, the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty today, and the Dinghai Shenzhen.  As long as Chen Xie is around, Ming Dynasty will never worry about failure.  When the Vostok arrived in Gibraltar, cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami rang out from the pier: "Long live! Long live!" The officers and soldiers shouted so unscrupulously. Chen Xie had no choice but to walk down slowly with a smile on his face.  .  After paying condolences to the local garrison, Chen Xie met Yin Jie. This guy now has more than 100,000 people and is the emperor of Spain.  Carlos II went into exile in France and the Holy Roman Empire, and he dared not return home.  In the end, envoys were sent and they asked for negotiations, but they gave in.  It¡¯s no longer possible to be cowardly, France has already staged a coup.  If he didn't do this, the Holy Roman Emperor would send someone to "escort" him back to Spain, and no one would take the blame for him.  Now in Europe, except for Spain and France, which have already been beaten, no country wants to see the Ming Dynasty's fleet drive over, and then cover the landfall of the army with a barrage of artillery fire.  The balance of power was too great. The French army, known as the most powerful army in Europe, had 300,000 soldiers fighting 100,000 soldiers, and was defeated in one battle.  No country in Europe was willing to face such an enemy. Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty became quiet after defeating France and had no intention of continuing to use knives on others.  But the UK has not signed the contract yet. The Ming army, which has boarded the ship from Marseille, is transporting it to the English Channel.  France even formed a force of more than 10,000 people. Not only to cooperate with the Ming army's operations, it also organized a large number of civilians to be busy expanding the docks and hoarding food at this end of the strait.  "Prime Minister, everyone hopes that you will personally command the invasion of England. I might as well learn a few tricks from you!" Yin Jie came over with a flattery, and Chen Xie replied with a smile: "You guys have caught up with the good times.  ! I am going to England, but I will not interfere with the command." Chen Xie's words were not clear. Only he knew what he meant.  It¡¯s very simple. Chen Xie thought of a landing battle noted in history, Normandy.  In this time and space, the gap between the military equipment of the two countries is too great, and the difficulty of landing operations has been greatly reduced.  Under the premise that the British ground forces could not withstand naval bombardment, Ming's landing operations would hardly encounter any obstacles.  What is restricted is nothing more than the natural environment.  The climate on the sea, as well as the geographical environment, etc.  These things are actually not difficult in this era.  Just look at the Opium War. The British were still equipped with muskets at that time. Couldn't they easily defeat the Humen Fortress?  What is the difference between the right of the island in the UK? What is the difference between the meat on the cutting board?  A similar country is Japan, clamoring for 100 million pieces of jade.  The US imperialists made a calculation. Landing on the Japanese mainland will cost one million casualties. The price is a bit high. Come on, throw mushroom bombs.  After throwing it away, Japan became timid.  This problem does not exist in this time and space. The Ming Dynasty's powerful navy ensures that they can land at any suitable location. Even if the opponent knows about it, there is no way that the key defenses can stop the enemy on the beach.  Ming Dynasty, which had been preparing for a long time, finally handed over the order document for the invasion of Britain to Chen Xie. Chen Xiang looked at the row of signed requests and sighed: "Fight how to fight, I don't know."  Speak, just watch. "The arrogant Ming Navy chose the landing site at the mouth of the Thames River.  (To be continued.)
