Chapter 1070: Strategy
The darker the night, the brighter the lights of the palace become.
The official use of the wired telephone 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.
So for Xiao Ming, this is just a natural thing, and it is also the result of more than ten years of accumulation.
Because of this, he is not too worried about the development of science and technology now, and the most important thing for him now is how to plan the territory of the future empire.
"Today, all of you are gathered here because of the telephone matter, it is better to take this opportunity to talk about the strategic issues of the Empire in the future, mortars have been transported to the South Seas, and then the war in the South Seas will break out soon, if the war goes well, we may have to take over a region with a population almost equal to the Empire, for this, your cabinet must be mentally prepared."
As for India, the cabinet ministers now have a basic understanding of the region, Fiji said: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that India should adopt a strategy similar to that of the British, and adopt a unified and not ruled approach, and that all the empire needs is to absorb wealth from India, and there is no need to waste resources on how to govern India." ”
Pang Yukun and Fiji were surprisingly unanimous in their thoughts on this issue, and he said: "The old minister agrees with the suggestion of Fei Ge Lao, the minister thinks that for overseas colonies, we should govern according to local conditions, and for a colony like Australia, where only a small number of aborigines live and have a vast area, we should send officials, move the population, and govern according to the policy of the empire, because this kind of colonial empire 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-pressure policy to force the indigenous chiefs to recognize the dominance of the empire through war, and force the indigenous chieftains to serve the colonial economy of the empire, so that we can maximize the benefits with a small cost. “
Pang Yukun's voice fell, Zhan Xingchang said: "The minister has different ideas, the minister thinks that the population welfare policy implemented by the empire now will inevitably lead to a sharp increase in the population in the future, the current population of the empire is nearly 100 million, less than ten years, the increase of 30 million population is more than enough, if the time is extended further, the population will only grow in a straight line, and the domestic land will definitely not be able to meet the demand for land, so the empire should seize the area with excellent land resources in advance before this problem appears." “
"Does Pavilion Elder mean that he can even slaughter the local natives for this?" Yang Chengye heard the implicit meaning in Zhan Xingchang's mouth.
Zhan Xingchang nodded, and he said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, with the progress of imperial science and technology, the civilization and ideas of the empire will surely radiate to every corner of the world, and the facts have proved that the so-called racial superiority theory of the West is extremely wrong, as long as any race receives a good education, they can master advanced scientific and technological knowledge, once these civilizations are civilized, they will no longer be willing to be ruled by the empire, and they will inevitably seek independence in the future, and at that time, the empire that once ruled and oppressed them will become their biggest 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.
"Zhan Ge Lao's words are probably a bit wishful thinking, it is already commendable to govern the empire properly, now the empire does not have so many officials to govern the whole world, and the slaughter of natives will only lead to chaos in the colony, intensifying contradictions, the empire will spend a lot of military expenditure to maintain the stability of the colony, this one colony is just two, three, four, or even more, why does the empire waste so much money." Fiji said.
"The most important thing is to kill all the natives, to whom are the industrial products of the empire sold? Therefore, this matter is a lose-lose situation, and the Western countries are expected to want the empire to be mired in war with the natives. “
Zhan Xingchang smiled, he said: "So, I just mean to occupy the rich land, for those low-value land to adopt the method of Fei Ge Lao, at present, I only value Australia, North America, South America and India, the first three places of the indigenous number is not much, and the Western colonizers basically exterminated the local indigenous people, we only need to drive out the Westerners to be able to control these three areas smoothly, but the population of India is too much,......"
After that, Zhan Xingchang looked at Xiao Ming.
"India is a natural plantation, and since it is a plantation, it requires a lot of people to work, and the slaughter is not good for the empire, but it will still be a potential threat to the empire in the future, so we need to have dozens of countries here, not one." Xiao Ming said lightly, compared to mineral resources, India is actually not rich, but the terrain of India's large plains is very suitable for the growth of crops, and because of this, India can use such a place to feed a large number of people.
Now everyone is discussing the problem, in fact, he already has his own ideas, just as Zhan Xingchang said, the civilization of the empire will inevitably bring changes to the world, this is a natural law, the invasion of advanced civilization by barbarian civilization will lead to the decline of advanced civilization.
The invasion of advanced civilizations and barbarian civilizations will bring their own advanced cultures, such as the stagnation of human exploration of space due to the limitations of science and technology, but if the arrival of extraterrestrial civilizations will make the earth's science and technology develop rapidly, of course, the earthlings will be exterminated like the Indians in North America.
As for why the Western colonizers engaged in industrial construction in the colonies, in fact, the reason is very simple, one is to sell goods, and the second is to raise the consumption level of the colonies and sell more goods.
Therefore, in addition to strict control over weapons and cutting-edge technology, the colonizers in history were willing to transfer low-tech industrial technology.
There are similar voices within 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 obtain huge profits, and the consumption power of the colonial countries can also be increased, thus promoting the sale of high-end industrial goods of the empire in the colonies.
"As far as the old minister knows, this India is originally a large number of princely states that go their own way, not a complete country." Pang Yukun said.
"That's true, but the present is not the future, and we have to consider this in order to prevent it from happening." Xiao Ming said.
Although it is known in modern India as a country of 100 million people managing 1.1 billion animals, this country still has the ability to disgust people, and he will not give them this opportunity.
