Chapter 643: Implementation
Therefore, many people are amazed by the rapid rise of Japan from the ashes after World War II, but they do not know how Japan rose......
If you only look at the beginning and the end: Japan surrendered in 1945, and at this time, Japan, which was bombed by a large number of incendiary bombs and two atomic bombs, is not an exaggeration to describe it as "ruins". www.biquge.infoTwenty years later, in 1967, Japan's GDP was the second largest in the world, second only to the United States.
If you look at it this way, it is indeed remarkable, it only took twenty-two years to transform from a man called a son to a local tyrant, which is a little unimaginable.
As a result, people are trying to find some reasons for Japan's success and connect it to the Japanese themselves...... For example, the Japanese are united, hardworking, dedicated, and so on, and even consolidated the theory of cultural superiority and racial superiority led by Yukichi Fukuzawa, believing that the Yamato nation is an excellent nation that will rise no matter what the circumstances.
But if you know the process of its rise...... The reason for its rise is actually very simple:
First of all, Japan has a large number of very cheap labor, and the Japanese people have a strong sense of crisis in their hearts after the war, and this sense of crisis prompts the Japanese people to work hard in the hope of earning more money to avoid danger in times of crisis.
The second is that Japan was controlled by the United States after the war.
This is a bit like in modern times, where both the United States and the Soviet Union have spared no effort to compete for the Indian arms market, and it can almost be said that India will give India whatever it wants, but it has set up layers of cards and even found a disgusting excuse to impose a "ban" on arms sales to China.
The reason for this lies in the fact that India does not have a perfect industrial base, and it is basically impossible to copy the equipment of the United States and the Soviet Union after purchasing it, so it can only keep buying it, and it will never be able to surpass the United States and the Soviet Union itself. But Ah San's heart is higher than the sky...... He couldn't even make a decent rifle, but he wanted to produce his own fighters, tanks, and aircraft carriers, and as a result, he made jokes one after another, and became an internationally famous "Kaizi".
But China is different, since China's reform and opening up, in just a few decades has grown into the world's largest industrial body, industrial categories are also the most complete in the world, from small plastic barrels to rockets, space stations can be produced by themselves, the United States, the Soviet Union to buy a random equipment will come out in a few years, and what makes the United States and the Soviet Union vomit blood is that these imitation models are often more advanced than the prototype...... China is not a simple imitation, but an imitation that learns, digests, absorbs, and then combines the strengths of the United States and the Soviet Union to regenerate.
If China does this, who would dare to sell it with confidence!
Therefore, Russia even has to consider and consider again and again when talking about a third-generation and a half-generation fighter Su-35, and in the end, the price of oil has fallen too much, and the economy that relies on exporting oil and natural gas is almost unable to hold on, so it is still gritting its teeth with a half-covered face...... Sell it, if you don't sell it again, in a few years, China's J-31 and J-20 will be in service in batches, and you won't be able to sell them if you want to!
The United States' concern for Japan after World War II belongs to the former...... The United States has 113 bases in Japan, of which the Yokosuka fleet base is still in Tokyo Bay, in other words, holding a knife on the neck of Japan, can you not rest assured?
Because we can rest assured, we can export advanced technology to Japan without any scruples, so as to make full use of Japan's cheap labor to create the maximum value possible...... As a result, it has grown into the world's second largest economy in more than 20 years, which should be said to be very normal.
This has little to do with the so-called cultural advancement and national excellence, and some people even come up with the so-called "colonial advanced theory" because of this, that is, the more colonized by Western countries, the more advanced they become.
On the surface, this theory does seem like that...... Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, etc., all have a history of colonization, and for a period of time they were indeed more advanced than the mainland.
But India, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, and so on were also colonized.
On top of that, China overtook Japan in 2010 to become the world's second-largest economy, and a few years later, Japan was left far behind and the United States was getting closer...... This gives a stern slap in the mouth to all theories of "Japanese cultural advanced," "Yamato national excellence," and "colonial advanced."
What Zhang Chi is now doing in Okinawa is to follow a path similar to the rise of Japan and China...... Okinawa is similar to Japan in that they are both islands, so economic development should be based on foreign trade, and infrastructure construction should focus on ports, airports, sea and air transportation. Learning from China is that several measures for internal governance during the reform and opening up period have been proven to be effective.
(Note: The Chinese population is large, so it is a huge city itself, which can drive development by stimulating domestic demand, and the situation in Okinawa is different)
Originally, Zhang Chi thought that these were very complicated things, but it was not as troublesome as Zhang Chi thought:
In terms of education, Zhang Chi handed it over to Liu Zhenguo...... After all, Liu Zhenguo and his party are people who have studied abroad, and their horizons and knowledge will be broader, although they have held the wrong cultural concept before, but they have already woken up after Zhang Chi's words, and it is best for them, senior intellectuals with both Chinese culture and Western culture, to undertake the heavy responsibility of education.
What Zhang Chi had to do was to discuss the scope of the textbook in detail with Liu Zhenguo and others.
This doesn't seem like a big deal, but in fact it has caused a stir among intellectuals such as Liu Zhenguo, many people think that they should start learning subjects such as mechanical manufacturing in elementary school, and some people think that the school is a kind of technician training ground, and they have been learning from their masters since childhood......
Hearing this, I was a little dizzy, obviously, Liu Zhenguo and other intellectuals were too anxious, and they hoped to cultivate batches of talents in just a few years...... Of course, this is possible, but only if you have a certain amount of education or genius.
But most of the time, education is in a hurry, because it is aimed at people, and if it is not in the right direction, it may affect an entire generation.
This is not a difficult task for Zhang Chi, because he only needs to recall which courses and which areas he studied in primary and secondary schools...... Modern textbooks, which have been revised and adjusted again and again by education experts, are obviously much better than guessing at the big outline set by a pat on the head.
Of course, according to the specific situation, it should become two educational directions after middle school, one is to train technical talents in all aspects in technical schools, and the other is to reserve high school for cultivating high-precision technical talents.
