Chapter 177: Race Against Time
According to Gu Weimin's plan, "India's employment problem will be divided into three stages
First of all, during the post-war recovery period, the Republic mainly provided loans and financing guarantees to the Provisional Government of India, and the banks, private companies, mainly private loan companies, private investment companies, financial securities, funds, and other companies mainly engaged in financial business provided the Provisional Government of India with the funds needed for post-war reconstruction, and the Provisional Government of India repaid the loans with resources, part of the right to operate infrastructure, the right to operate industries, and land for enterprises. If it involves a national project, such as a military base, the central government of the republic will reimburse it on its behalf.
This phase was mainly to provide the Interim Government of India with the necessary funds for post-war reconstruction.
No doubt. It's not a small amount of money.
According to an assessment by a Western market analysis firm, trillions of dollars are needed to repair damaged transport infrastructure, i.e. roads, railways, bridges, tunnels, bus stations, railway stations, airports, ports, etc. This is a huge investment and a huge market. Also in accordance with the assessment made by the company. If one-third of the equipment and materials needed to repair transport infrastructure were to be imported, it would generate about 2 trillion yuan in output value for the industry.
And that's just a small part of the post-war reconstruction.
In accordance with the assessment made by the Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry of the Republic. India's post-war reconstruction will require at least one trillion yuan, which is equivalent to the country's gross domestic product in the first half of the year, involving thousands of industries such as transportation, electric power, communications, water industry, medical care, education, water conservancy, agricultural irrigation, iron and steel, chemical industry, equipment manufacturing, and urban pipe network, which will provide tens of millions of jobs for the republic within the next year. Create tens of trillions of output value. If you include the employed population and output value of related industries. It is enough for half of the enterprises of the Republic to continue to develop for a year, and it is enough for more than one degree to continue to grow.
The destruction of a pound country means the prosperity of another country.
This is the inevitable law of human history, and no one can break it.
Of course. This kind of thing that everyone knows will not be written on paper, nor will it be put on the table. In Gu Weimin's words. The biggest winners of India's post-war reconstruction were India's workers and national entrepreneurs. The reconstruction, which lasts for many years, will at least provide jobs for the Indian workers. And it's a job opportunity that is enough to support a family. Based on the calculation of 42 members of each Indian family, which is the statistics of the Indian government in the year of the blade, 400 million workers are equivalent to 700 million Indians. In other words, Feng Yi's labor position can basically meet the work needs of Indians. Because the main materials for post-war reconstruction, namely basic industrial products such as steel, cement, and asphalt, need to be produced in India, India's national entrepreneurs are able to make sufficient profits from them. Completion of the original capital accumulation.
I have to admit that Gu Weimin's words are very beautiful.
Zhuo Shishang, not only is it beautiful, but there is no way to refute it.
The post-war reconstruction of India is, of course, the business of the Indians, the Americans will not go to India to build roads, the Europeans will not go to India to dig iron ore, and the people of the Republic will not go to India to open clinics. India's future can only rest with the hands of Indians. Not to mention the main materials needed for reconstruction, not to mention the fact that the Republic, the United States, the European Union, Canada, Australia and other countries cannot provide them, and the underserved countries such as Spain, Russia, South Africa, Argentina, Egypt, and Pakistan cannot fully meet India's needs. Before the war, India was the world's largest producer of steel and cement, as well as the world's largest chemical industry. Although most of the industrial facilities were destroyed in the war. But there is no shortage of skilled workers in related industries in India. Other words. Just fix the production facilities. Or with new production equipment, steel plants, cement plants, chemical plants will soon be able to resume production, or in a few years, India will once again become the world's largest.
Of course. Gu Qimin's statement does not stand up to scrutiny.
Although India is rich in resources, especially iron ore as coal, India wants to produce its own basic industrial products for reconstruction. First of all, we have to import industrial equipment. Implemented on specific issues. In order for India's national entrepreneurs to become real entrepreneurs, they must first take out loans. In accordance with the normal laws of business. Financing for corporate loans must be secured before post-war reconstruction begins. Other words. The sooner the better. No doubt. In the absence of the end of the war, the only financial institutions and financial capitalists of the Republic were able to provide financing to Indian national entrepreneurs. It can be seen that even India's national entrepreneurs have been given the opportunity to exhibit and have accumulated raw capital. It is the financial machine dogs and financial capitalists of the Republic who really control the Indian economy.
In the report submitted to Wang Yuanqing, Gu Weimin made two points very clearly.
It was India's post-war reconstruction that had to be initiated immediately after the end of the war. Therefore, it is necessary to give sufficient support to the financial enterprises and financial capitalists of the republic. Let them finance Indian businesses before the war is over, preferably with the government leading the way in signing agreements with India; In order to encourage domestic financial institutions and financial capitalists to invest in India, the government should provide appropriate policy support and investment guarantees; As long as financial institutions and financial capitalists are involved in the post-war reconstruction of India, the government will not have trouble providing loans and financing guarantees to the Interim Government of India in the future. At least in terms of legislation
The second is to give priority to the establishment of a financial system for India, focusing on supporting a few or several pro-China Indian national entrepreneurs. Make it an Indian financier, thereby pulling India into the financial system of the republic. Consolidate the Republic's position and voice in the field of international finance.
Arguably. The second suggestion is very important.
The United States still has the most powerful influence in the world, and in addition to its military power on an equal footing with the Republic, it has a very significant relationship with the United States' position and voice in the financial field, or to be precise, the position of the dollar in the financial field. As long as the dollar does not fall for a day, the United States will not fall for a day. Even though the world financial system has entered the "Warring States Period". In addition to the three major currencies of the US dollar, the renminbi and the euro, the ruble, the real and the Brazilian currency, the Australian dollar and the Swiss franc have a relatively large influence.
If economic competition is also a battlefield, the fight against the dollar is the main tactic of the republic on this battlefield.
Even without India's participation, the renminbi as the main settlement currency has surpassed the US dollar as the main settlement currency to become the world's largest economy. Of course, this is calculated by population. If calculated in terms of economic aggregates. The US dollar still occupies the top spot. That is, if India can be included in the economy with the renminbi as the main settlement currency. The renminbi will surpass the United States and become the world's largest trade settlement currency.
How much benefit does this bring?
Just look at the United States after World War II to the present day. For decades, the United States has been able to dominate the world mainly by relying not on the US military, which is armed to the teeth, but on the US dollar, which serves as the main settlement currency for world trade. By manipulating the exchange rate of the dollar and the market price of the dollar, the United States can defeat any competitor without firing a single shot. During the Cold War. In order to attack the Soviet Union, the United States controlled the exchange rate of the US dollar, made every effort to suppress the price of commodities when the Soviet Union sold them, and raised the prices of commodities when the Soviet Union imported them, resulting in the Soviet Union operating at a loss in international trade for a long time. In the final analysis, the global financial crisis that broke out at the end of the year was the insolvency caused by the huge war spending and domestic consumption, and the United States had to inflate the capital bubble of the United States through various financial means. This led to the subprime mortgage crisis. Eventually, through a large number of dollars, the world will pay for the US economy. Imagine if the U.S. dollar was not the global trade settlement currency, not the main foreign exchange held by other countries. The United States dared to make a large amount of money. Blowing up the capital bubble. Can the dollar depreciate and make other countries pay for the troubles of the United States?
To put it simply. Who's goods became the main settlement currency. Whoever holds the right to financial coinage.
How much does this power really mean? Holding this power is equivalent to gaining the means to control trade. So as to control the economy of other countries through trade, and use the economy of other countries to serve themselves. Not to mention anything else, before Ji Youguo came to power, the republic's foreign exchange reserves exceeded 2 trillion US dollars, which is equivalent to exchanging 2 trillion US dollars worth of goods for a large number of "white stripes". "If the U.S. government doesn't plan to repay the debt, it can do everything it can to "depreciate the dollar, force the renminbi to appreciate, and so on."
It can also be seen from this. The reason why the American financial capitalists have become the most powerful financial capitalists in the world is not because of how clever they are in playing with finance, but because they have taken advantage of the hegemony of the US dollar. To know. Before World War II. The world's greatest financial capitalists are not Americans. It's the British. And before the empire on which the sun never sets. The most powerful financial capitalists in the world are not British. It's the Dutch.
Seeing the essence of the dollar, it is not difficult to understand "globalization." There is a shocking conspiracy behind it.
"Globalization" based on free trade is in essence a shocking conspiracy set up by the Western world with the United States as the leader against underdeveloped countries, developing countries, and backward countries in order to ensure its hegemonic position in the global economic system, and its fundamental purpose is to be in the process of "globalization." The high-tech industries that use finance as the pressure on other countries divide the world into three, six, nine and so on. The strong will always be strong, and the weak will always be weak, and there will be no chance for weak and small countries to show their strength, let alone the republic and Russia, which can pose a threat to the Western world, and a chance to revive and rise. In fact. In the republic relied on thugs "electric revolution." Before breaking the monopoly of Western countries on cutting-edge technology. There is not a single pound that the underreached countries that oppose the United States have become the upper countries. And before "globalization". However, there are several countries and regions that have entered the ranks of the national regions. Whether "globalization" is a conspiracy of the Western world or not, it is obvious.
Ran Ran. A real country must have a say in finance.
As the renminbi gradually gained the status of the main settlement currency. The financial capitalists of the republic also appeared on the international stage.
Of course, these topics are far away.
As India's national infrastructure gradually recovers, a second round of employment** will begin to expand domestic demand, strengthen the economy, and improve the quality of life. The prerequisites are: India's national entrepreneurs have completed the primitive accumulation through post-war reconstruction and have a higher stage of development.
According to Gu Weimin's plan to fight, "From this stage onwards, India will gradually return to its pre-war economic struggles.
As before the war, India's economy was mainly export-oriented, i.e., export-oriented. It's not the same as before the war. The main export object of Indian products is no longer the Western world, but the Eastern camp, which is dominated by the republic. Because the financial capitalists of the Indian national entrepreneurs are extensively involved in the stage of their national entrepreneurs, the government should use the financial capitalists to guide the Indian economy in the direction of the republic. According to Gu Weimin's suggestion, it is necessary not only to set up special organs in the relevant departments of the State Council. Plenary meetings should also be used to the fullest extent possible. Establish a special supervisory body in the Congress.
Although Gu Weimin did not say it explicitly, his intention was obvious.
It is only through legislation that the strongest support can be provided to financial capitalists.
For legislation to support finance capitalists, it is necessary to give them a voice in the legislature.
Fundamentally, expanding employment in India is certainly not just about improving the living standards of Indians.
It is undeniable that by expanding the scope of employment, the quality of life of Indians will definitely be improved, after all, if a thug participates in the labor, the income will not be high, and if two people participate in the labor, the income can increase a lot. In the initial stage of India's post-war economic recovery, it will definitely be dominated by basic industries, and the added value of industry will not be high, and the wage level of industrial workers will not be high. The only way to improve the quality of life for Indian workers' families is to expand employment. Provide more jobs.
Of course, the real purpose of this is to solve the problems of the republic.
For the republic, what is needed is cheap goods from India. It can even be said that this is also the fundamental purpose of Wang Yuanqing's active efforts to plot the war against India. There is not enough labor to produce cheap goods, and even if there were, the cost of labor would be prohibitively high. Not competitive at all. From the point of view of solving the problem of population aging, it is impossible for the Republic to develop labor-intensive industries, otherwise Ji Youguo would not have used his whole life to promote the adjustment of the industrial structure, so that the Republic would have become a high-end industrial country from a low-end industrial country.
Arguably. How to make full and effective use of India's human resources is Wang Yuanqing's top priority.
The use of India's human resources is not only from the perspective of the workforce, but also from the perspective of consumers.
Fighter Tier B population. It's definitely a market that can't be underestimated.
Even if India only! The middle class and affluent class of nephews also mean that there are hundreds of millions of consumers who can afford to buy high-end products produced in the Republic. If this number increases to the average level of the countries in the exhibition, that is, the maca, it means that there are tens of thousands of consumers who can afford to buy high-end products produced in the Republic. This huge market is enough to provide hundreds of millions of jobs for the Republic. Tens of trillions of output value are created every year.
Exactly. Wang Yuanqingcai resolutely opposed "slavery." India. Insist that it is up to the Indians to decide the future of India.
The third stage mentioned by Gu Weimin is to promote the upgrading of India's industrial structure as the main purpose, through technology export and industrial transfer, to cultivate a number of internationally competitive large enterprises in India, and improve India's production efficiency. Hundreds of millions of middle-class people have been raised.
Although there is a certain risk in doing so, that is, India's industrial upgrading will compete with the enterprises of the Republic, and the main problem is not competition, after all, the biggest competitors of the Republic's enterprises are European and American enterprises. The biggest problem is technical secrecy, to be precise, the republic must simultaneously carry out industrial upgrading. In order to ensure the Republic's competitive advantage in the high-end field, it will not fight a price war with cheap Indian products. However, in the long run, even if there is no challenge from India, the Republic must maintain its dominant position in high-end industries, because the United States and Europe will not give up the pace of catching up, and by supporting India to suppress the United States and Europe, thereby forcing the United States and Europe to increase investment to form pressure on the Republic, and then forcing the Republic to accelerate the pace of progress, in order to most effectively ensure the Republic's advantages in the high-end field.
To put it simply. It is only with competition that there is progress.
Arguably. Gu Weimin's plan has a very long-term strategic vision.
In terms of the evaluation of later generations, Gu Weimin can be called the Marshall of the century, and it was precisely this plan proposed by him that enabled India to catch the chariot of the republic. It is inseparable from the republic in the economic, political, military, diplomatic and other fields, and eventually becomes not only an ally of the republic, but also the most important ally of the republic. In other words, India's relationship with the Republic after the Indian War was very similar to the relationship between Western Europe and the United States after World War II.
From a personal point of view, this plan finally laid the foundation for Gu Weimin's political position in the republic.
Because the plan is very well written and very well placed. So Wang Yuanqing almost didn't change a word, and handed over the main work to Gu Weimin.
Although food and employment are only two of the more prominent problems in India's post-war revitalization, as long as these two problems are solved, many other problems can be easily solved. Or rather, other problems. In fact, both arise from these two questions.
Of course. A prerequisite must be met for India to be able to revitalize after the war in accordance with the wishes of the republic. That is, the war must end as soon as possible. One more day of fighting, the United States, Europe and other Western countries will have one more day to intervene; The sooner it ends, the United States and Europe will have one less day to intervene.
Even if the republic cannot monopolize India's interests, it must still dominate India's development.
From this demand, the war must end as soon as possible, and as soon as possible.
