Chapter 1148 Building a circle of friends in Nanyang (first update, please subscribe)
“Maybe we won’t see that day, but who knows? But as long as we work hard, sooner or later, South Korea will also become rich. "
When he was about to leave Chang'an, looking at the city fading away outside the car window, Pu Zhengxi was thinking silently in his heart.
In the past half month, in addition to watching mountain troop training and exercises in Nanyang at the Mountain Combat Training Center, they also visited Chang'an and other places. What did you feel after visiting?
More of a spiritual shock!
Not only were the bustling cities full of factories, advanced manufacturing industries, and advanced technology, but what shocked them more was the income of Nanyang people. At this time, sitting next to Park Chung-hee, Kim Jae-gyu said softly.
“148 yuan!”
Reciting this number, Kim Jae Kyu pursed his lips and said:
“The average employee in the amusement park earns less than me in a month. This general earns so little in a year!”
The reason why he felt so emotional was entirely due to himself. Two days ago, at the end of the day, the military specially arranged for them to go to the Nanhai Playground and wait in line. Shi Jin Zaigui casually asked about other people’s income.
Then I was hit directly!
“Not much, less than 150.”
Since then, Kim Jae Kyu couldn’t sleep, and everything he ate no longer tasted good.
He is the vice president of the Army University and a brigadier general in South Korea. However, he does not earn as much as a worker.
“Xiba, the most annoying thing is that he has only been working for a few months!”
"Skilled workers in the factory earn more. I heard from Colonel Fang that his brother's monthly salary was 180 yuan when he first joined the factory."
Park Chung-hee's brows furrowed and his expression became solemn.
This kind of income gap is simply a world of difference.
“And their income is growing at more than 12% every year!”
In Park Chung-hee’s view, this is the most enviable place in Nanyang!
In 1949, Nanyang formulated the "National Income Doubling Plan" within the ten years specified in the original plan. Its specific goal was to more than double the gross national product and per capita national income after 10 years. To achieve great economic growth, improve the living standards of the people and achieve full employment. This plan stipulates that the average annual growth rate of gross national product and national income is 7.8%, and the average annual growth rate of per capita national income is 6.9%.
According to the plan, after the completion of the National Income Doubling Plan, Nanyang’s national income level will reach or be close to the level of developed countries in Western Europe.
Ten years have not yet passed, and all major economic indicators in Nanyang have exceeded the original indicators of the "National Income Doubling Plan": the average annual growth rates of gross national product and national income are 12.6% and 12.1% respectively. , the average annual growth rate of industrial and mining production is 14.9%, and the average annual growth rate of per capita household consumption expenditure reaches 10.4%.
Last year, Nanyang’s per capita national income reached US$768!
This level even exceeds the traditional European powers of Britain, France and Germany.
And what is the GDP of Nanyang?
$71.5 billion!
In comparison, how small is South Korea!
Those numbers are simply not worth mentioning.
Recalling these numbers, the expression on Park Zhengxi’s thin face became more and more solemn. After a long time, he said:
"According to this development rate, Nanyang's GDP will exceed US$100 billion next year at the latest!"
Kim Jae-gyu said from the side:
"This is the "Nanyang Miracle"! Miraculous rise, miraculous development, miraculous speed!”
Looking at Chang’an outside the car window, the desire in Park Zhengxi’s eyes became even stronger.
Park Chung Hee is like this, Kim Jae Kyu is like this.
It's almost the same for everyone else. People stare out the window like this, their eyes are longing and envious.
Ten minutes later, these officers from foreign countries left here in white swans. The more than ten days of inspection left an indelible impression on their hearts.
......
"A miracle on the Han River!"
Taking his eyes away from the report on the table, Li Yian said to himself:
"Park Chung-hee! That guy should be back in South Korea soon!"
After accidentally learning about Park Chung-hee's stay in Nanyang, Li Yi'an was stunned for a moment, and then a thought flashed in his mind - should he deal with that guy? .
It is not too simple to deal with that guy. There are various ways. The simplest way is of course the helicopter accident. Mountain troops often use helicopters in combat training, and it is not uncommon for the helicopters used by the visiting group to have accidents.
Why did this idea pop up?
The reason couldn't be simpler, Park Chung-hee...the future president of South Korea.
This guy is like a bug to South Korea. He can be said to be an eternal hero who has contributed to the reconstruction of South Korea.
What was South Korea like before Park Chung Hee?
Although the country was barely saved under the protection of the United States, both Syngman Rhee and later Zhang Mian made the country a mess. The society and people's livelihood can be said to be a mess. Inflation and unemployment have remained at 40% for many years, and a severe famine even broke out!
But what about after Park Chung-hee?
After he came to power, he appointed a large number of young technocrats to innovate the government; the Gyeongbu Expressway was built, and the chemical, iron smelting, petroleum, shipbuilding and other industries developed rapidly; the new village plan was launched, which greatly improved the living conditions of farmers; The economy developed rapidly and the world-famous "Miracle on the Han River" was built.
It can be said with absolute certainty that it was Park Chung-hee who lifted South Korea out of poverty and into prosperity. This is well known to the world, and was even the fundamental reason why his daughter later became the president of South Korea.
And what kind of person Park Chung Hee is, the most appropriate evaluation comes from his enemies. There are so many presidents in South Korea, but there are only two people who can allow the People's Armed Forces Province in the north to carry out the most brutal and direct assassination operations and attempt to physically eliminate them. One is Park Chung-hee and the other is Junior General Jeon.
There were as many as two direct assassinations of Park Chung-hee.
Why does the North pay so much attention to him?
Because he did change a country in semi-famine and achieve long-term economic development.
However, why did Li Yian come up with such an idea?
It's all because of... control.
Will an economically powerful Korea be controlled by Nanyang?
This is a question mark.
In Nanyang's "Flying Geese Model", one of the core reasons is "economic control and political influence/control".
In other words, Nanyang wants to control both the economy and politics.
Otherwise, the "Flying Goose" of Nanyang will not take them to fly. This is why South Korea and other places have not yet been included in the "Flying Goose". To put it bluntly, it has only average political influence. , in that case, I'm sorry.
Can Nanyang control Park Chung-hee?
Obviously not, at least not easy to control.
But according to Park Chung-hee's approach, South Korea will definitely develop. It's just a matter of time. After all, that guy is almost like a loving father to South Korea.
So it seems like a good choice to get rid of that guy's technology.
But after this thought flashed, Li Yian burst out laughing again:
"It's just Park Chung-hee, is this necessary?"
It is indeed not necessary.
Even if Park Chung-hee is eliminated, Kim Chung-hee and Moon Chung-hee will emerge. This kind of thing cannot be avoided.
Unless the economies of Eastern European countries are divided according to a unified plan through direct instruction, as the Soviet Union did with its allies, Eastern European countries produce certain products according to the plan, and most of the products are exported to the Soviet Union, such as Bulgaria’s electric small cars. Cranes and Polish ships and vehicles.
On the surface, the Soviet Union provided them with fuel, raw materials and other materials, but essentially it was to ensure that its economic industry would not cause damage to the Soviet industrial economy. Compared with the "economic integration" of Europe, this was It's true integration.
Take Czechoslovakia as an example. Before the war, it was the seventh largest industrial country in the world and one of the richest regions in the world. The Skoda cars it manufactured were even more famous around the world. However, because it would cause damage to Soviet cars , the Soviet Union used directive quotas and other methods to suppress it to ensure that Czech industry would not pose a threat to it.
Only poverty is easier to control!
This is the core of the Soviet Union's manipulation of Eastern European countries!
Why the post-war economic development of Eastern European countries lags far behind that of Western Europe? Many people attribute this to the failure of the Soviet economic model, but the core reason is that the Soviet Union has always been worried that once the Eastern European countries take off economically, they will will get rid of Moscow's control. Therefore, throughout the Soviet and Eastern era, suppressing and controlling the economic development of the allies was the essence of the "economic integration" of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
Compared with the "economic integration" of Western Europe, the Soviet Union's "economic integration" was not for development, but for control... In order to manipulate the little brothers more easily, Moscow even did not hesitate to artificially weaken the cooperation of various countries. development potential, and even deliberately create obstacles to development.
After all, poor brothers are easy to control!
But they overlooked one point - it is true that poor brothers are easy to control, but poor brothers can also bring down big brother. In the 1950s and 1960s, the Soviet Union used "economic integration" to suppress the self-development of Eastern European countries. , if pressure by force fails, we will directly replace it with force, which is a manifestation of strengthening control from Hungary to Prague.
By the 1970s, under the care of Big Brother, the economy of the little brothers had lagged far behind that of Western Europe. In order to appease the little brothers, Big Brother was not allowed to comfort them through blood transfusions.
In the 1980s, Big Brother faced the reality that he was anemic. After he stopped blood transfusions, the Soviet-Eastern Group and the "economic integration" that the Soviet Union had worked hard for forty years also collapsed.
But what about the United States?
The United States helped Western European countries recover their economies through the "Marshall Plan" and opened its markets to its allies through the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. Various measures such as these have promoted the economic reconstruction and development of Western countries.
After Western European countries completed post-war reconstruction and their economies took off, what did the United States gain? They are a group of wealthy followers. Maybe those followers have some small thoughts, but in the end they still side with the United States.
Just like in the late Cold War, Reagan demanded an intensification of the embargo against the Soviet Union, and even required the contract between German society and the Soviet Union to cease cooperation with the Soviet Union. Faced with serious damage to economic interests, what the German Chancellor said to the map-Germany still belongs to the West after all!
In the end, the Soviet Union with a group of poor brothers disappeared, and the United States, with a group of rich brothers, won the Cold War.
With the high pressure of the Soviet Union, the Soviet circle of friends collapsed.
In contrast, the Western circle of friends headed by the United States, although there are internal competitions and conflicts, is relatively more stable.
Because they are highly interdependent and highly integrated economically. This dependence does not rely on administrative orders, but on the operation of the economy itself.
So the question is, what about Nanyang?
After taking a look at the documents on the table, Li Yian stood up, walked to the window and walked slowly. Then, he just stared out the window. There are several little brothers in Nanyang now.
Malaya, Siam, Mindanao, Surabaya, and of course Singapore, Kyushu, there may be Saigon in the future, and maybe South Korea and other places. So, what does Nanyang need?
Are they a group of poor brothers who are holding them back?
Or a group of developed rich brothers?
Staring out the window, Li Yi'an raised the corners of his mouth and said to himself:
"One Park Chung-hee is simply not enough. It is best for these little brothers to have such a loving father in their homes, so that we can vigorously promote everyone." Only with its economic development can Nanyang create its own circle of friends!”
There are now three “circles of friends” in the world, one is the “North American Economic Circle” headed by the United States, and the other is “Western Europe.” Economic Circle", one is the "Soviet-Eastern Economic Circle" headed by the Soviet Union. In contrast, Nanyang... does not yet have a small circle of its own!
"The next step is to go all out to build a small circle in Nanyang... But!"
Taking a deep breath, Li Yian narrowed his eyes and said firmly.
"In this circle, only Japan is a bit complicated. How long can this leek field be harvested?"
