Iron Dynasty

The darker the night, the brighter the palace lights.

The official use of wired telephones is undoubtedly a major event for the empire, and with the explosive growth of the empire's talents, the empire's technology will also show a blowout explosion.

So for Xiao Ming, this is just a matter of letting nature take its course, and it is also the result of more than ten years of accumulation.

Because of this, he is not very worried about the development of science and technology now. For him, the most important thing now is how to plan the territory of the future empire.

Today, all of you are here because of the phone call. Why don't you take this opportunity to talk about the next strategic issues of the empire? The mortars have been shipped to Nanyang, and the next war in Nanyang will break out. If the war goes well, we It may be necessary to accept an area with a population almost equal to that of the Empire, for this, your cabinet must be mentally prepared.

As for India, the cabinet ministers now have a basic understanding of the region, and Fiji said: Your Majesty, the old ministers thought that a strategy similar to that of the British should be adopted for India, and the method of rule but not rule should be adopted. What the empire needs is only to absorb from India. Wealth, no need to waste resources on how to govern India.

On this issue, Pang Yukun and Fiji have surprisingly consistent ideas. He said: The old minister agrees with the suggestion of Fiji. The minister believes that overseas colonies should be governed according to local conditions. Colonies, we have to send officials, migrate people, and govern according to the policies of the empire, because these kinds of colonial empires can achieve real occupation.”

After a pause, he continued: For colonies with a large number of indigenous people, such as Indonesia, the Philippines and other regions, we should adopt a high-handed policy and force the indigenous leaders to recognize the dominance of the empire through war, forcing the indigenous leaders to be the colonial economy of the empire. service, so we can maximize the benefits at a small cost.”

When Pang Yukun's voice fell, Zhan Xingchang said: This minister has a different idea. The minister thinks that the population welfare policy implemented by the empire will inevitably lead to a sharp increase in population in the future. At present, the population of the empire is nearly 100 million, and it will increase by 30 million in less than ten years. The population is more than enough. If time is extended further, the population will only grow in a straight line. At that time, the domestic land will definitely not be able to meet the demand for land. Therefore, the empire should seize the area with excellent land resources in advance before this problem occurs. .

Does Zhange mean that the local indigenous people can even be slaughtered for this purpose? Yang Chengye heard the implied meaning of Zhan Xingchang's mouth.

Zhan Xingchang nodded, and he said loudly: Everyone, with the advancement of imperial science and technology, the civilization and ideas of the empire will surely radiate to every corner of the world, and facts have proved that the so-called ethnological supremacy in the West is extremely wrong. Yes, any race can master advanced scientific and technological knowledge as long as they receive a good education. Once these civilizations become civilized, they will no longer be willing to be ruled by the empire, and will inevitably seek independence in the future. At that time, the empire that once ruled and oppressed them will be become their worst enemy.

Hearing this, Xiao Ming nodded slightly. As the empire became stronger and stronger, many people were already thinking about the future of the empire.

Old Zhange's words may be wishful thinking. It is very valuable to manage the empire properly. Now the empire does not have so many officials to govern the whole world, and the massacre of the natives will only lead to chaos in the colony and intensify contradictions. The empire will spend a lot of military expenses to maintain. The colony is stable, but this colony is nothing more than two, three, four, or even more, how can the empire waste so much money. Fiji said.

The most important thing is to kill all the natives, to whom will the empire's industrial products be sold? Therefore, this matter is a lose-lose affair. Western countries probably wish the empire would fall into the quagmire of war with the natives.

Zhan Xingchang smiled and said: So, what I mean is just to occupy the good land and take the old method of the low value land. For now, what I value is only Australia, North America, South America and India, The number of indigenous people in the first three places is not large, and the Western colonists basically killed the local indigenous people. We only need to drive out the Westerners to successfully control these three areas, but the population of India is too large, ...

After all, Zhan Xingchang looked at Xiao Ming.

India is a natural plantation. Since it is a plantation, it requires a large number of people to work. The slaughter is not beneficial to the empire, but it will still be a potential threat to the empire in the future. For this reason, we need to support dozens of countries here, and Not one. Xiao Ming said lightly, India is actually not rich in mineral resources, but the terrain of the Great Plains in India is very suitable for the growth of crops, and it is precisely because of this that India can use such a small area to feed a large population.

The question that everyone is discussing now, in fact, he already has his own ideas. As Zhan Xingchang said, the civilization of the empire will definitely bring changes to the world. This is a natural law. Advanced civilizations are in decline.

The invasion of the savage civilization by the advanced civilization will bring its own advanced culture. For example, the human exploration of space has been stagnant due to the limitation of technology, but if the arrival of alien civilization will make the earth's technology develop rapidly, of course, it is also possible that the people of the earth will be like North America. were exterminated like the Indians.

As for why the Western colonists carried out industrial construction in the colonies, the reason is very simple. One is to sell commodities, and the other is to improve the consumption level of the colonies and sell more commodities.

Therefore, in addition to strict control over weapons and cutting-edge technology, the colonists in history were happy to transfer low-tech industrial technologies.

There are similar voices in the empire now, and many officials have suggested that the empire open up low-end technology to colonial countries.

In this way, the empire can make huge profits, and the spending power of colonial countries can also be improved, thus promoting the sale of high-end industrial products of the empire in the colonies.

As far as the old ministers know, this India is a country where many native states go their separate ways, not a complete country. Pang Yukun said.

It is true, but now does not represent the future. In order to prevent problems before they happen, we must consider this. Xiao Ming said.

Although in contemporary India it is known as a country where 100 million people manage 1.1 billion animals, this country still has the ability to disgusting people, and he will not give them this chance.

Three changes to tomorrow.
