   Chapter 996 Achievements

   One in the field of heavy industry

The empire's famous heavy industry enterprises such as Hongshan Heavy Industry, Beilun Heavy Industry, Songjiang Heavy Industry, Hongshan Iron and Steel Complex, Dongfanghong Machinery Co., Ltd., Qingdao No. 1 Internal Combustion Engine Co., Ltd., Songjiang No. 2 Steel, Azure Weapons Co., Ltd. and other world-class enterprises, industrial scale and technical strength All are among the world's leading ranks.

Professor Tesla took the lead in setting off a new wave of alternating current equipment technology in the Ocean Empire. The Imperial University scientific research team he led made a series of major inventions, leading the development of electronic technology in the world today, from rangefinders to ranging radars, from tube radios to stereos Equipment, from batteries to AC power stations, from phonographs to cable radio stations, all kinds of new electronic inventions have sprung up, becoming the new driving force for industrial economic growth.

   And in the field of agricultural deep processing

In addition to traditional sugar mills, oil mills, flour mills and rubber mills, the tobacco industry, which relies on the natural tropical geographical advantages of Luzon Islands and Shangri-La, is now emerging, and its output value has accounted for 1/3 of the entire agricultural field. Profit and tax have reached more than 76%, accounting for more than 3/4 of the total profit and tax in the entire agricultural field.

  The staggering scale of the European war has deepened widespread anxiety, and the demand for cigarettes and spirits has grown stronger, in a sense, cigarettes can even replace hard currency.

  This has led to a sharp increase in the area of ​​tobacco planting within the empire. Not only is it widely planted in Luzon Islands and Shangri-La, but now large-scale tobacco cultivation has begun in Mozambique, which has eased the current supply-demand contradiction.

  The demand for tobacco in the world market is almost endless. Even if the production scale is expanded every year, the market is still very hungry and the demand is rising.

   After thinking about the inner logic carefully, it makes people feel suddenly enlightened.

  After the outbreak of war in Europe

The war quickly spread to more than a dozen European countries. The brutal military confrontation between the two military groups of the Allied Powers and the Allied Powers, with tens of millions of people, was full of flames, causing people across the continent to be terrified. Their parents, their families, their wives and children In the extreme anxiety will be more or less infected with the habit of smoking and drinking, in order to relieve the inner tension.

According to the statistics

The smoking rate of French women has increased from less than 6% before the war to nearly 30%, an increase of more than 5 times. The smoking rate of British women has increased by 2.7 times, and the smoking rate has reached 11.53%. The smoking age of men is significantly weakened. The trend is that many teenagers aged thirteen or fourteen are addicted to smoking, while middle-aged men are more addicted to smoking, indicating more anxiety.

  Germany, France, Austria-Hungary, Italy and Russia are all agricultural powers in Europe. The war has brought tens of millions of young men to the battlefield, and countless farmlands have been deserted and turned into battlefields affected by war.

  The war lasted until the end of 2014, and the severe damage to Europe's agriculture and economy has shown great influence. Today, Europe lacks almost everything, as long as it is shipped, it can be sold at a good price.

Flour, milk powder, wheat, edible oil, sucrose, cocoa, coffee, frozen meat are almost as much as they are, and the price is high, which has caused the price of the empire to rise year by year, with an average increase of 3-40%, and a few are in short supply. The prices of sucrose, milk powder, cocoa and other varieties have doubled.

   As long as you sell these things in Europe, you can make a lot of money.

   To this end, Ocean Empire had to introduce an export distribution mechanism for agricultural products to limit unplanned long exports. Only agricultural products that have received export distribution orders can be shipped, otherwise they will be regarded as smuggling.

   This is also a no-brainer. We must first meet the strong demand for agricultural products within the empire, and then export to make money.

  The population of the Empire has reached more than 94 million by the end of 2014. Relying on the Shangri-La grain production base, Borneo, the four states of North America and Australia, many food categories can only meet their own needs and can only be exported in small amounts.

The only country capable of exporting agricultural products in a big way is the rich Mozambique. Under the strong stimulation of demand, Mozambique has newly reclaimed more than 400,000 to 500,000 acres of land year after year. new highs.

   In the current international situation changing

  Li Fushou's domestic policy is to take advantage of the current economic development opportunity to pay close attention to economic construction, industry, agriculture and animal husbandry go hand in hand and fully blossom.

   The foreign policy is based on wait-and-see. The core of establishing and consolidating the Pacific Security Alliance is to suppress and contain the United States, the second is to restrict the United States, and the third is to contain the United States.

   Four years after the end of the Wool War, the total iron and steel output of the Ocean Empire doubled, and many industrial indicators ranked first in the world.

  Before the war

Ocean Empire's crude steel output was 20 million tons and pig iron output was 16 million tons. By the end of 2014, crude steel output had grown rapidly to 37.7 million tons, and pig iron output had more than doubled to 38.2 million tons. The two indicators All rank first in the world.

  The United States produced 28.8 million tons of tapped steel and 26.4 million tons of pig iron before the war. After the war, the industrial base was severely destroyed, and it has not been able to restore the steel production capacity in its heyday.

   According to the latest statistics

   Its crude steel output is 22.17 million tons and pig iron output is 23.5 million tons. Both indicators are ranked second in the world. They have been surpassed by the Ocean Empire and have left a large distance.

   Germany ranks third with 245 million tons of coal, 14.4 million tons of crude steel and 15.72 million tons of pig iron.

  The Ocean Empire produces 320 million tons of high-quality coal and 235 million barrels of oil, both of which are the highest in the world.

  The United Kingdom ranks second with coal production of 287 million tons, Germany ranks third with coal production of 255 million tons, and the United States ranks fourth with coal production of 123 million tons.

The   Ocean Empire ranks first in the world with 235 million barrels of oil production, followed by the Republic of California with 127 million barrels.

  After the United States took back the New Mexico region, which is rich in oil resources, its annual oil production increased from more than 30 million barrels to 47 million barrels, ranking third in the world.

   You must know that before the Wool War, the oil production of the United States once reached an astonishing scale of 200 million barrels, and now it has only recovered a quarter of its production.

After losing the oil-rich California and Texas regions, the U.S. oil industry and oil equipment industry suffered heavy losses, losing almost all the oil equipment industry and more than 70% of the oil refining capacity. Almost start all over again.

   touch the present and recall the past

  Li Fushou stood by the railing, looking at the lights of thousands of homes in Melbourne from a distance, and couldn't help feeling filled with emotion;

   Killed the American guy, making the economic capability and national strength of the Ocean Empire leap to a higher level.

   Don’t look at the fact that the factories of all sizes in the United States are producing at full capacity, and they look like they are economically prosperous. In fact, they are all contributing to the Ocean Empire, and they just end up rejoicing.

  The huge amount of war reparations is drawn every year, and the liquidation committee established after the war used a rigorous attitude to verify the huge economic interests of a group of institutional investors led by the Imperial Royal Fund and the Chinese businessmen’s war, and double compensation.

   And this is just the beginning

   Ocean Empire, while deeply infiltrating the financial, cultural, industrial and terminal transportation economic fields of the United States, started a judicial battle for patent rights protection, and continued to file lawsuits against US infringing companies for huge patent compensation.

  In the four years since the war, more than 7,300 legal lawsuits have been filed by the imperial business community, most of which involve patent infringement, unequal treatment and discrimination. Under the current cautious atmosphere in the United States, the winning rate exceeds 50%.

  The major domestic companies have won lawsuits and substantial economic compensation through patent tracing, and even pushed many infringing companies to the brink of bankruptcy through this move, thereby expanding production and occupying the North American market through mergers and acquisitions.

Especially in the fields of automobiles, crawler tractors, tires, gearboxes and clutches, radios, aircraft manufacturing, etc., it is the hardest hit area for patent infringement, and it is also the industry with the largest profit from taking rights protection actions, laying and strengthening the empire's absolute dominant position in the above fields .

   Look around the world

  The Ocean Empire and the United States together, occupy more than 80% of the international market share in the above-mentioned industrial categories, and are the top two without compromise.

"Ali, with the efforts of our generation, future generations can stand on a higher foundation to participate in international competition and repeat the glory of China in the past. This is probably the most meaningful thing we have done, and it is enough to be proud of. "

   Li Fushou's hair fluttered in the breeze. He looked at the beautiful night scene of Melbourne with his hands on his back.

Zhang Li stood a step later, his face glowing in the darkness of the night, he was also immersed in the beautiful and prosperous scene in front of him, and replied with deep feeling; "Sir, I have followed you for more than 30 years, and I deeply feel that I have lived up to this life. !"

"What we are doing is a very meaningful cause. At the moment when China is sinking, we find a fertile land for overseas Chinese to live and work in peace and contentment. Here, they can give full play to their ingenuity and entrepreneurial passion. Facts have proved that our great nation is One of the best people in the world, industrious, intelligent and creative."

"Weichen has a deep understanding that as long as we have appropriate policy guidance, we have made outstanding achievements that the world has paid attention to in the fields of culture, medicine and chemical industry, machinery and shipbuilding, electrical equipment and aviation. People together created the Australian economic miracle."

   "It goes without saying that there is also an indelible contribution from you here."

   "In this glorious and prosperous age, Your Majesty is a talented person in the sky. It is a blessing for me and other ministers to be able to follow me. How can I dare to be proud of this, it is definitely not what the son of man does!"

   "Ali, it's too modest."

   After the two men and ministers finished speaking, they looked at each other and laughed without saying a word.

  Li Fushou thought for a moment and asked; "By the way, what is the current situation of European arms orders?"

"If you go back to the Holy Spirit, there will be too many orders to be produced. The various types of ammunition are in the amount of 100,000 tons. The tank orders from the Allied countries alone amount to more than 3,600 tanks. All the old equipment of the Imperial Army's armored forces will be shipped to In Europe, the newly developed and improved Cheetah III tank has undergone more than 40 technological improvements, especially the frontal armor is strengthened, and the overall pouring turret is used to resist the frontal bombardment of 76mm artillery. New products are being equipped with our troops one after another. This is an opportunity to carry out a comprehensive refit. The production line of Cheetah tanks has been increased to six, with a monthly output of more than 140 tanks. Even so, it will take a year and a half to digest the current order."

"Okay, very good, the next step in the development of new models of tanks cannot be stopped, requiring thicker armor, stronger cross-country capabilities, stronger firepower, and can adapt to the harsh requirements of the battlefield in the new era. Let's take a good look this time, Tasma What kind of surprises can Nia Island bring us?"
