In fact, in Duan Xun's future planning, Southeast Asia must become China's sphere of influence.Duan Xun's ambition is not great, or during his tenure, Duan Xun's ambition is not great.Duan Xun never thought that Tu Ri Tu Mei would become the hegemon of the world, because Duan Xun knew that this was impossible.

Duan Xun is 38 years old this year, and there are still about 30 years in the future.Duan Xun's idea is that in the next 30 years, China can become the overlord of the Far East, resist the Soviet Union's influence in the Far East, and make Japan and the Korean Peninsula his little brother.Then he took Southeast Asia into his arms.As long as these Duan Xun are completed, I will be very satisfied.

However, in Duan Xun's plan, Duan Xun has always wanted to use World War II to gain benefits.Wait for the outbreak of war between world powers, and then profit from it.But now Yang Yongtai's proposal made Duan Xun quite tempted.

The population problem is serious.

This is no joke.Even if the government takes control, it is certain that China's population will exceed one billion in 30 years.Feeding such a large population is no joke, nor is it that simple.

What should I do?

Duan Xun will not choose mandatory family planning, and it is impossible to choose.Since population growth cannot be completely controlled, it is also a good way to scatter the population.

There are Chinese and overseas Chinese all over the world. When the time comes, the same language and the same race will be able to exert more influence.If the proportion of overseas Chinese in the Nanyang region continues to increase in the future, it is entirely possible to use World War II to establish several Chinese countries in Southeast Asia.Even if they are not merged into China, a federation like the Commonwealth of Nations can be established to increase China's control in Southeast Asia.

This is a grand strategy, and it is really for future consideration.

"Can Nanyang's economy accommodate so many immigrants?"

Duan Xun thought for a while, then raised his head and asked Yang Yongtai.

The total population of the current Nanyang region is only about [-] million. If China migrates so many people, will the Nanyang region be able to accommodate so many people.

Yang Yongtai nodded and said: "Prime Minister, there is a lot of land in the Nanyang area, but the development of these lands is limited. Moreover, the aborigines in the Nanyang area are far inferior to our farmers in farming techniques. As long as those lands are well developed, those farmers in our country can gain a foothold there. .And most of the tropical products currently produced in the Nanyang region are in the hands of Chinese businessmen, who also need a lot of labor. Of course, there will be many problems in this process, but there is no problem in feeding a larger population in the Nanyang region. They In a tropical location, the last thing we lack is food.”

"Do some research on this first, and discuss it with the Nanyang Branch of the Overseas Chinese Committee. Premier Yang, you are in charge of this matter. Carefully investigate and plan well. Don't be too hasty."

"Yes."

Duan Xun accepted Yang Yongtai's proposal.

It is somewhat difficult to migrate tens of millions of people to Southeast Asia within 30 to 30 years.However, millions of laborers were relocated, plus their families and their descendants in Nanyang.After 4000 or [-] years, it is not a big problem for the population of Chinese in Nanyang to reach [-] to [-] million.

At that time, it will be much easier for China to choose what to do.

"The proposal mentioned by Premier Yang just now will be sealed after the discussion meeting, and should not be circulated after the meeting."

Very ordinary cabinet committee meeting.

Two issues were mainly discussed, one was the establishment of the Grain Bureau, and the other was the issue of "family planning".If it wasn't for Yang Yongtai's strategy of using migrant population to influence Southeast Asia, then this meeting would be really ordinary.After the meeting was over, everyone left the meeting room.

Only Duan Xun, Dai Kan, and Wang Yongjiang were left in the conference room.

Although it is a very ordinary cabinet committee meeting, the discussions in the cabinet committee meeting are all important issues related to national policy.In other words, it is a big issue that must be resolved.As for some small issues, the work of various departments is rarely brought directly to the meeting for discussion.All the ministries and commissions discussed it first, then the cabinet members in charge of the various ministries and commissions listened to their opinions, and then communicated with Duan Xun individually.

If it is just an ordinary problem, then it will be solved directly by the cabinet members and department leaders in charge of the department, and will not be promoted to a higher level.When some important issues are involved, the cabinet members in charge of the department will communicate with Duan Xun first, and if they cannot be directly confirmed, they will be brought to the cabinet committee meeting for discussion.

That's the cabinet process.

The power of cabinet members can be seen.Of course, Duan Xun's power can also be seen.Duan Xun is unwilling to bring some issues to the cabinet committee meeting for discussion, so it is impossible for this topic to appear in the cabinet committee meeting.

"Ford and GM can produce cars so soon?"

"Yes."

Wang Yongjiang stayed mainly to talk about the car issue.

The Ford Motor Company of the United States and the General Motors Company of the United States began investing in their Asian auto factories in China last year.At present, their factories are all in Wuhan.

Wuhan is currently one of the largest industrial cities in China, and together with Shanghai and Chongqing, it is called China's "three industrial flowers".Wuhan has the largest aircraft factory and shipyard in China, as well as the famous Hanyang Arsenal and Hanyeping Company.

Moreover, the Zhonghua Automobile Factory, which was established based on the large truck technology imported from Germany, is also in Wuhan.Not to mention the large government investment, there are also many private investment industries in Wuhan, and there are various factories densely packed.Therefore, the American Ford Motor Company, the American General Motors Company, and the Asian factories they established in China are also located in Wuhan.

In just one year, the two factories have been able to mass-produce cars.

"Is there an order? How is the order? And the price?"

Duan Xun was very interested, so he asked several questions in succession.

auto industry.

Let alone now, even 100 years from now, it will be a very important industry.Like Germany and Japan, if the auto industry declines, the economy of their entire country will suffer a huge blow.As powerful as a huge contradiction between the United States and Europe and Japan, it is also to seize the auto market.Because the automobile industry covers too many fields, it is related to all aspects.The development of the automobile industry has an amazing role in promoting economic development.

Once China's automobile industry develops, it will greatly promote China's industry and economy.Iron and steel, glass, machinery manufacturing, and rubber industries will all have tremendous development.Therefore, Duan Xun is very concerned about the development of China's auto industry.

"The price will be about one-third of the imported car."

"one third?"

"Yes."

Wang Yongjiang nodded.

He gave a detailed introduction to Duan Xun: "The price of ordinary GM cars imported by our country was 1, while the price of GM cars produced in Wuhan was between [-] and [-]. In fact, this price is also very high. Our statistics The cost of General Motors is thought to be no more than two thousand."

"No more than two thousand?"

"Yes."

Duan Xun pays attention to the automobile industry, and Wang Yongjiang is in charge of the economy, so he pays more attention to the automobile industry.In the current field of China's machinery production, the shipbuilding industry, aircraft manufacturing, and automobile industry can all drive a large number of supporting industries.

"Prime Minister, the price of General Motors in the United States is the same. Compared with the United States, the cost of factories in our country is lower. Our country has cheap labor, cheap land, and complete supporting factories. Including car tires, compared with Compared with the United States, we have our own rubber plantation, provide rubber for tires, and our own tire factory.”

Why did you choose to set up a car factory in Wuhan?

It is because it is easy to find supporting factories.Because before Wuhan, there was Hanyang Arsenal, an aircraft factory, and a shipyard.It is precisely because there are so many factories that there are many supporting factories.After a year of running-in, these factories have no problem producing auto parts.

At present, except for some parts that cannot be produced domestically, others can be produced domestically.Including tires, China has its own rubber plantations in Hainan, Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guangdong, and the output has been increasing in recent years.Therefore, there is no need for factories in the United States to purchase rubber from Southeast Asia, then process it, and finally become car tires.China has its own rubber plantation, and in order to cope with the development of the automobile industry, it has established its own tire factory.All greatly save costs.Even in order to reduce costs, GM and Ford are willing to set up an engine plant in Wuhan to completely localize production.

"In terms of orders, it is still good. Excluding government orders, Ford Motor and General Motors have about 1400 car orders in Shanghai alone. In addition to car orders, there are not a few orders for trucks and buses. At present, some people are preparing to set up a bus company to run some long-distance routes. They have contacted General Motors and want to order buses from them, and there are more than 300 orders from Shanghai alone.”

"it is good."

Duan Xun nodded repeatedly.

While it doesn't look like the order is a lot, it's a start.Moreover, these are only private orders, and they are orders from a place in Shanghai, which is definitely not a lot.As far as private orders are concerned, Shanghai indeed gathers the largest number of wealthy people.However, there are also many rich people who can afford to buy cars in Beijing, Tianjin, Qingdao, Wuhan, Chongqing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, and Shenyang.If these cities are added up, it is estimated that there will be [-] to [-] car orders alone.And in addition to private orders, the government will soon place many orders.

Government orders will definitely be a large number.

Not only the central government needs to order cars, but local governments will also order a lot of cars.In fact, the government is currently in financial difficulties, and it is relatively reluctant to order cars.But even Duan Xun is not good at interfering too forcefully.Because at present, many senior government officials have participated in the revolution since the end of the Qing Dynasty, and later many people fought with Duan Xun.

Although the country is not rich now, these people can be regarded as successful and famous.Each of them is something to enjoy.You said that those who do business all take cars, and if they are officials, if they cannot take cars, then you are not joking.And at the beginning of the year, Duan Xun had just restricted everyone's wages. If the car was still restricted, it would cause a lot of dissatisfaction.

So the cabinet gave the order.

This time, the government ordered cars only for cadres above the sub-provincial level, plus some special posts.As for the following government staff to allocate cars, they are not included in this government order.
