Chapter 176: A Tricky Question
When Xin Kuishan called Xiang Linghui, Wang Yuanqing had just sent Gu Weixin away. [No pop-up novel network]
Although the formation of an interim government of India is a troublesome matter, but if it is only so, Wang Yuanqing should laugh. In Wang Yuanqing's view, the establishment of a provisional government is the simplest thing in India's post-war work, and it is also the easiest thing to solve, and other things are the real troubles.
As early as after the conflict in southern Tibet, Wang Yuanqing began to pay attention to the political situation in India.
Although there is no evidence that Wang Yuanqing identified Suworth as India's future political leader from the beginning, according to the top-secret archives that lifted the ban decades later, the MIA has been following Suworth, especially after Suworth's imprisonment, and the MIA has made him a key "training" target. Later, in a leaked report, it was mentioned that Suworth's pardon less than a year after his imprisonment had a lot to do with the MIA's activities in India, and that Sukis was in exile in Islamabad and founded the "Democratic Indian Renaissance Society." It also has a close relationship with the Military Intelligence Agency. Because the Military Intelligence Bureau is directly responsible to Yuanbei, no one denies Wang Yuanqing's relationship with these things.
In fact, Wang Yuanqing is indeed paying attention to Suworth.
Several Indian democratic and liberal associations were able to merge into the "Indian Democratic Renaissance Party", and Suvos was able to be elected as the party leader, which also had close ties with the Military Intelligence Agency. Without the secret help of the Military Intelligence Agency, let alone exile in Islamabad, it is a question of whether Suvos, who founded the "Democratic India Renaissance Society", would have been able to get out of prison alive.
Of course, Wang Yuanqing is also very clear about Suworth's administrative management ability.
Because the Interim Government of India has just been "inaugurated." "There is no basis for independent administration, most of the work is still in charge of the occupation forces, and the management of the occupied areas is directly under the responsibility of a special group led by Gu Weimin, so Wang Yuanqing does not need to worry about the administrative capacity of the Indian interim government for the time being. As for Gu Weimin's ability, Wang Yuanqing doesn't have to worry about it. Although Gu Weimin is now the chairman of the NPC National Committee, before that, Gu Weimin was the premier of the State Council, and he has rich organizational planning skills, and his administrative management ability is definitely no worse than that of any government premier.
There are only two things that matter most now.
It is to consolidate the legitimacy of India's interim government and make it recognized by the majority of countries. The second is to stabilize the internal situation in India, especially in the occupied areas.
Wang Yuanqing and Gu Weimin talked about the second issue.
As the artillery fire in New Delhi has gradually dissipated, the "Seven-Nation Alliance" republics, Pakistan, Nepal, Sikkim, Burma, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have taken control of two-thirds of India's territory and nine of its population. What is this concept? Two-thirds of India's land area is equivalent to 10,000 square kilometers, and the population of Daozhu is equivalent to 600 million people. Occupying such a vast area and controlling such a large population is not a simple matter for anyone, and it is even a great disaster.
The internal situation in India is stabilized not by the force of the occupying forces or by the forces of the Interim Government.
There is only one solution to the problem, and that is to provide basic livelihood security for the Indians in the consular district.
It may seem like only one problem, but in fact there are countless problems.
First of all, we have to solve the food problem, that is, the problem of feeding the Indians.
Although the Seven-Nation Coalition has occupied the most fertile Ganges semi-plain in the world, and has paid special attention to protecting the agricultural infrastructure in the region during its military operations, and the occupying forces have even contributed to help the locals harvest food crops, India's agricultural production will inevitably be affected, and according to the information returned from the occupied territories, the grain production in the occupied areas will definitely drop by about a paste this year. Because India was originally a major importer of grain, "gill rice, cheating wheat, macay corn, stubborn soybeans, and rapeseed" and potatoes all needed to be imported, so under the condition of only feeding hundreds of millions of people, affected by the reduction of agricultural production in the Ganges Plain, the grain that needed to be provided for the occupied areas surged from 10,000 tons to 10,000 tons. If we take into account the occupation of all of India at the beginning of next year. Agricultural production in other regions has also decreased, and India will need to be supplied with about 10,000 tonnes of grain by the autumn of the calendar year.
What is the concept of 10,000 tons of grain? In the concave year, the total grain output of the Republic was only 10,000 tons, and after deducting the national consumption, there were 10,000 tons left; In the same year, the United States produced 40,000 tons of grain and exported 10,000 tons. In other words, all the rich grain from the world's two largest grain-producing countries will not be able to fill India's food shortfall. More importantly, the Republic is not a major grain exporter, and half of the rich volume of 10,000 tons of grain has gone into the granary of strategic reserves, and half of the aid has been given to backward countries in Africa. The real big grain exporter is the United States, and if the Republic imports grain from the international market in order to meet India's grain needs, the United States will certainly take the opportunity to raise prices. When the time comes, it will not be India that will be unlucky, but all the countries that need to import grain. Of course, in addition to the United States, Canada, Australia, Brazil, and Ukraine, which are major grain exporters, are smiling the most.
If it really wants to make the country that imports grain unlucky, the republic will certainly cause public outrage.
Wang Yuanqing had to think about this catty and the consequences. You must know that in the new world pattern, the republic challenges the hegemony of the Western world together with the underreached countries and the developing countries, and in the international political and diplomatic arena, the underreached countries and the developing countries are basically the "quasi-allies" of the republic. "And these countries are basically grain importers, especially some economically backward countries that need to talk about a large amount of rations, and international grain prices will rise. Xi Jinping and quasi-poor countries will certainly suffer greatly, and may even lead to political instability.
Can the republic bear such consequences?
The answer is clear, absolutely not.
In fact, international food prices have already begun to rise.
After the outbreak of the war, Western conglomerates began to speculate on food prices, "for more than a month, international food prices have risen too strongly. Although the fact that the war in India did not have much impact on the international grain trade, because the Indian government did not import large quantities of grain during the war, everyone knows that after the war, India will definitely import a large amount of grain. Speculators with a little discerning will stock up on grain at this time.
The solution is not nothing, it's just very tricky, and it's also related to high technology.
According to Gu Weimin's suggestion, a three-pronged approach must be taken to solve India's grain problem. The first is to extend the time of war control, distribute food in strict accordance with the ration system, and take the main purpose of filling the belly; In this way, India's per capita grain demand can be reduced from the pre-war kilogram per year to the annual kilogram, thus reducing the annual grain demand by about 10,000 tons. Second, the Republic will use the strategic grain reserves of the Republic to provide India with about 10,000 tons of grain; The amount of the Republic's strategic grain reserves is determined according to the standard of normal consumption in the whole country for half a year, that is, about 10,000 tons of mouths, and in order to stabilize domestic prices, if about 10,000 tons are used, at most 10,000 tons can only be used to support India. The third is to increase investment in technology and promote high-yield genetically modified crops and "industrial agricultural production technology" in India. "Strive to increase gills in the spring harvest in India. About 10,000 tons of production will be increased.
As long as these three tasks are carried out, India's food deficit will be reduced to 10,000 tons. If India's autumn harvest next year can increase the production of tesuji, that is, about 10,000 tons, India's food crisis will be resolved.
Gu Weimin focused on "industrial agricultural production technology", because the first two methods are basically inflexible, and the only way to solve India's food crisis is to increase India's grain production. Genetically modified crops have long been promoted in India with very limited results. In order to increase India's output in the spring and autumn harvests, it can only make a fuss about more advanced agricultural production technology.
"Industrial agricultural production technology" is the high-end technology that has the most potential to completely solve the global food problem.
In the evaluation of the Western news media, the "technology of industrial agricultural production" will completely change the appearance of agriculture, free agriculture from a high degree of dependence on land and the natural environment, and even fundamentally "eliminate" agriculture, so that agriculture can obtain production efficiency comparable to that of industry, and increase agricultural production capacity by more than 100 times.
To put it simply, "industrial agricultural production technology" is the technology of producing crops in factories.
Because this technology is so tempting, almost all countries are vigorously showing it. The problem is that absolutely not all countries have enough strength. In order for agriculture to be industrialized, several key issues must be addressed, namely "synthetic light source technology." Exactly the same as natural light sources, artificial light sources that can allow crops to photosynthesize, "soilless cultivation technology" began to be studied as early as the force century, but there is no way to fully promote, "organic fertilizer industrial production technology" to improve the key technology of crop quality, "high-yield crop genetic modification technology" is also used to improve crop yield. Among these technologies, none of them is not advanced technology, and none of them has invested less than 10 billion yuan in research. In addition to funding, the underlying technology is also a key constraint for countries.
It can be seen from this that only a handful of large countries have the ability to make breakthroughs in "industrialized agricultural production technology."
At the same time, the need for "industrial agricultural production technology" in the republic is the most urgent.
As the second most populous country with the least arable land per capita, the Republic has a really low per capita grain consumption, with only kilograms of milk in the same year, while the per capita grain consumption in the United States in the same year was a pound kilogram. If we want to continue to improve people's living standards, we must find ways to increase per capita food consumption. To be precise, it is to use more grain to develop animal husbandry, improve the dietary structure of the people, and increase the proportion of various highly nutritious foods in the people's daily diet. In view of the actual national conditions of the Republic, it is certainly not feasible to expand the area of cultivated land, first, there is not enough agricultural labor, and second, the expansion of the area of cultivated land is completely contradictory to environmental protection; It is also not feasible to promote higher-yielding genetically modified crops, first, the public's recognition of genetically modified food is not high enough. Second, genetically modified crops do have greater safety risks. It can be said that "industrial agricultural production technology." It has become the only way to solve the food problem of the republic and improve the living standards of the people.
From the year of imprisonment to the year of confinement, the Republic of China has invested hundreds of billions of yuan in scientific research funds on this technology.
In fact, the republic is at the most important in the "synthetic light source technology." because the technology is based on controlled nuclear fusion. As we all know, sunlight is the product of nuclear fusion, and the sunlight that only reaches the earth's surface passes through the atmosphere, and the ultraviolet rays that are harmful to living organisms are greatly reduced. The only way to obtain synthetic light that is exactly the same as sunlight is to rely on controlled nuclear fusion and other means to eliminate the harmful parts of the light source and enhance the useful parts that can promote crop production
As early as Tian Nian, the technology has made a breakthrough and has practical value.
There was no immediate promotion of "industrial agricultural production techniques." "The main reason is that several other related technologies have not made breakthroughs, such as "soilless cultivation technology" can only be used on a few crops for the time being, and the soilless cultivation technology of the above crops has still not made a breakthrough. According to the most optimistic estimates, four more thugs are needed to solve the soilless cultivation technology of all crops, so that agricultural production is no longer dependent on the land.
Fortunately, those crops include rice, wheat, jade, and rice, which are crucial.
Of course, Gu Weimin's suggestion to promote "industrial agricultural production technology" in India first is somewhat experimental in nature, hoping that through production experiments in India, it will be determined whether the technology has the potential to be popularized on a large scale, so as to determine whether it should be promoted in the Republic and whether the existing technology needs to be improved.
Without any doubt, Wang Yuanqing had no reason to veto Gu Weimin's proposal.
What's more, in India to promote "industrial agricultural production technology." "It is directly related to the solution to another problem that is not in any way below food, and that is employment.
As the country with the largest labor force in the world, only by solving the employment problem can Indian society maintain stability.
To put it simply, it is impossible for hundreds of millions of people to sit on empty feet, and if Indians want to get an India that belongs to them, they have to create the future with their own hands. What's more, it's impossible to leave the heart and labor idle. If too many people have nothing to do, the issue of law and order alone can crush India's interim government.
It is even more difficult to solve the employment problem of Xinyi people than to solve the food problem.
Compared with the food problem, employment is not only a real problem, but also a long-term problem.
Relatively speaking, the long-term pressure on employment certainly outweighs the real pressure.
After the war, India was in ruins, and post-war reconstruction required a lot of labor. Among other things, the restoration of the country's infrastructure alone could keep the Indian workers busy for years, or even more than a decade.
The question is, what will the workers of State B do in a few years, more than ten years?
This is the problem that Wang Yuanqing must consider, that is, the problem of India's industrial structure.
There is no doubt that India is unlikely to follow the path of a technologically advanced state, at least not in the short term. If India also embarks on the route of establishing a country with science and technology, not to mention where science and technology come from, the high-tech products produced by Xinyi workers cannot be digested by the whole world, and the products cannot be sold, can it still be established as a country? Not to mention the thug B laborers, the 300 million laborers of the Republic can produce high-tech products that can satisfy the huge market of 100 million people. If India is allowed to follow the path of a technologically advanced state, where will the workers of the republic go?
What India can do is in labor-intensive industries.
In fact, this is also the fundamental purpose of Wang Yuanqing's war, because the republic has eliminated labor-intensive industries, and the huge market of hundreds of millions of people needs too many labor-intensive products, so much that the surrounding areas with Xinyi's population cannot supply them.
Labor-intensive industries are also resource-intensive to a large extent.
Among the so-called "resources", energy is certainly included.
This brings us to a very critical question, whether to promote the most advanced referral sources in India?
The answer is yes, and there is only one possibility, and that is that India's energy companies must be in the hands of the Republic.
To put it bluntly, the republic exports high-tech products, including the most advanced energy technologies. According to a report by the National Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Republic of China and the Energy Industry Association, the construction of a controllable fusion reactor abroad could create thousands of jobs at home and enable tens of thousands of citizens of the Republic to live a prosperous life.
How big is India's demand for energy?
Even according to the most conservative estimates, India needs at least 10 million megawatts of controllable fusion nuclear power plants in Hungary when the Indian labor force is engaged in resource-intensive industries, and even if the enterprises of the Republic only account for a share, it can create hundreds of millions of citizens of the Republic for the Republic without worrying about their lives.
This alone solved the work-life problems of the citizens of the republic about late.
The promotion of controlled fusion nuclear power plants in India is closely related to the promotion of "industrial agricultural production technology", and it can also bring another extremely important benefit, that is, the dismantling of all fissile nuclear power plants in India, the fundamental eradication of India's nuclear technology, and the making of India a "nuclear-free" country.
From the perspective of the national security interests of the Republic, even if it does not bring in thugs and create 10,000 jobs, it is necessary to promote controlled fusion nuclear power plants in India.
If you can achieve the effect of killing three birds with one stone, why skimp on a little technology?
Essentially, as long as the product is exported, but not the technology, there is no problem of technical leakage. Because the Republic has long promoted controlled fusion nuclear power plants in other countries and regions, the technology has not been leaked. Moreover, if the key technology of controlled fusion nuclear power plants were so easy to master, the republic would not have benefited from it. When the whole world has mastered controlled fusion nuclear technology, controlled fusion nuclear technology will no longer be the cutting-edge technology that determines the country's right to speak, and the republic will also gain a leading position in a higher technological field.
Of course, solving India's employment problem is not as simple as building a few power stations.
If it is really so simple, Wang Yuanqing will not have a headache for this.
