Chapter 1154 Big Brother can cut leeks (first update, please subscribe)
What’s the next step for the “No Fly Zone”?
Siam is an example!
After crossing the no-fly zone, the next step is to directly attack Bangkok!
In the Cold War, everyone was constantly drawing red lines to let the other party understand their bottom line.
Of course, this is drawing red lines, not weaving a red carpet. Some red lines disappear when someone steps on them, and some red lines disappear when someone steps on them.
As we all know, there is only one red line in Nanyang. That red line is the bottom line. If you step on it, something will definitely happen.
Siam was stepped on, Siam was restored!
So, there is a living example there, and Li Yian is not worried that they don't understand.
Li Guoren smiled and said:
"Your Excellency, they will definitely accuse us of interfering in internal affairs through the United Nations."
"The United Nations..."
Li Yian said nonchalantly:
"It's nothing more than a waste It’s just a paper making machine. Before we become a permanent member of the Security Council, we don’t need to pay attention to him!”
Li Yian, holding a cigar in his mouth, spoke calmly, without any discomfort. In fact, this is the rule of the international game—— As a rule-maker, of course you have to uphold the rules, but since you are not the rule-maker, then of course it is beneficial.
Why can Nanyang ignore the rules?
Not just because of strength, but a more important reason is that the Western world, more precisely, the United States needs Nanyang to break some rules.
Nanyang is now the number one fighter in the Western world, and it has nuclear weapons, missiles, strategic bombers, and aircraft carriers. When Nanyang comes forward, even the Soviet Union will have a headache.
In this case, Nanyang can completely ignore some international rules.
Besides, Nanyang is also famous for its teachers.
"Even at the United Nations, there can be dozens of lawsuits. Yangon is committing genocide. We are just seeking justice." good.
Have you ever seen NATO in Kosovo and Russia in South Ossetia in another world? The so-called "humanitarian disasters" are just reasons and excuses. The washing powder can be taken to the United Nations. Just a few pictures Taking photos is not easy.
“Okay, I know what to do,”
After agreeing, Li Guoren asked again.
"Your Excellency, regarding Shan State, the people in Bangkok asked us what our attitude is. What they mean is the final result, whether to become independent or maintain the status quo."
In fact, those who have always been concerned about the Shan State issue are Bangkok, because they know very well that for Yu Xianluo, there is an indispensable buffer zone.
So, Bangkok has always been very active in supporting Shan State. In addition to handing over a large number of captured Soviet-made weapons to the Shan State Free Army, it even handed over thirty Several aircraft, including 6 MiG-15 fighter jets captured that year. This helped Shan State establish its air force.
Faced with the inquiry, Li Yian did not answer immediately. Instead, he paced with a cigar in his mouth. Finally, he slowly walked to the window and stared out of the window for a while. After a long time, he said.
“This is a matter for the future, and we don’t need to think about it so much for the time being. Our policy for Shan State is very simple. We help the local people get rid of poverty through development loans, let them join Nanyang’s "Flying Geese Model", and promote local development. economic development to lift them out of poverty ”
The "Flying Geese Model" is the economic development model adopted by Li Nian, drawing on the experience of Japan from another world.
Although it is only 59 years ago, Nanyang's status in Asia, especially Southeast Asia, is that of a giant.
The "Flying Geese Model" is a development plan formulated by Nanyang based on the situation in Southeast Asia, or more accurately, the situation of "friendly countries".
In this process of economic development, Nanyang, which has completed industrialization, has advanced technology, developed industry, and abundant funds, and is the leader in economic development in East Asia; Malaya, Mindanao, Surabaya, Kyushu, South Korea, Siam, Hong Kong Island and Bay Island are the second and third echelons.
Nanyang has successively transferred mature or potentially disadvantaged industries to these areas, such as labor-intensive clothing, textiles, footwear, toys and other products. Of course, there will also be highly polluting heavy chemical industries in the future. .
This kind of industrial transfer in Nanyang and investment in processing and assembly industries in these areas not only meet the needs of regional economic development, but these countries and regions have also become a sink for Nanyang's export of industrial finished products and intermediate goods.
Among these countries and regions, they will be differentiated into those with more advanced technologies in the future and focus on the development of capital-intensive enterprises - such as Malaya, Mindanao, Surabaya, Kyushu, South Korea, etc. Thanks to the Confucian tradition, these areas attach great importance to education, and they play the role of wild goose bodies.
Countries that have started from agriculture and are moving towards developing export-oriented industries - such as Siam, Shan State, and even South Vietnam and the Philippines. They are all on the third level, with resources and labor force, and they focus on developing labor. Intensive industry, they act as the tail of the goose.
Actually, to put it bluntly.
Nanyang's "Flying Geese Model" is essentially a leek-cutting model, which requires the use of the intellectual resources of the Tang cultural circle and the labor resources of other cultural circles.
In the end, with their joint efforts, Nanyang talents can live a better life. This world has always been like this. No matter how you pretend, no matter how you pretend to be tall, as a big brother, you always need to cut leeks. Cutting leeks is In order to live a better life for myself, of course, only when I live a better life can I properly feed my little brothers, but the way and mode of cutting leeks is different. The model adopted by Nanyang is somewhat similar to that of the United States. But on the other hand, it draws on Japan's "Flying Geese Model", or is closer to the "Flying Geese Model". After all, unlike its Western European brothers in the United States, Nanyang's The little brothers are all a group of poor brothers. In contrast, the "flying geese model" is more suitable for these little brothers.
What is different from Japan in another world is that Nanyang, as the leading goose, has been under Li Yi'an's design from the beginning, through direct investment, control of financial resources, etc. The core position of "Leading Goose" is fully ensured.
This not only ensures that the "flock of wild geese" will not lose control.
In another world, Japan lost its status as the "leading goose" not essentially because of the challenge from the University of Tokyo, but because of the loss of control of the "flock of geese" - Japan's international influence determined that it was impossible for it to Achieve dual economic and political control.
At that time, Southeast Asia was Japan's raw material supply base and market. Japan only controlled its economy, but its political influence was minimal!
Southeast Asian countries are politically controlled by the United States, and the same is true for Japan.
When the East Asian financial crisis broke out, not only was Japan unable to save the Southeast Asian economy from declining, it was even unable to protect itself, leaving the domestic economy in a long-term sluggish state and direct investment in Southeast Asia also declining significantly.
As a result, until the 21st century, there was no "East Asian Economic Circle" cooperation system with Japan as the core, and it was impossible to form an Asian Economic Community to cooperate with the "Western European Economic Circle" and the "North American Economic Circle" Compete with each other.
And this is also the reason why the "Flock of Wild Geese" lost control later.
What Li Nian has been committed to building is the "Nanyang Economic Circle". The first premise of this economic circle is to ensure economic control and political influence.
If this East Asian economic circle can be formed, then East Asia will become the third center of the world after the United States and Europe in the future, and its gross national product will exceed that of the United States and Europe.
This is not a fantasy, but a reality of future development. Even in another world, the core reason why the United States uses offshore balancing and other strategies in East Asia to instigate conflicts among East Asian countries is because the economic aggregate of the East Asian economic circle far exceeds that of the North American economic circle and the Western European economic circle.
Therefore, for the United States, preventing the integration of the East Asian economic circle has become its top priority.
But now, East Asia has not yet shown this power, so what is needed is to complete the integration of the East Asian economic circle before the Americans realize this.
In other words, we can complete the layout in advance and at the right time in the future, we can promote the complete integration of the East Asian economic circle, forming the third economic center in the world and posing a challenge to the United States.
Of course, a group of rich brothers is needed. This is why Nanyang needs to implement the "flying geese model". To put it bluntly, it is to promote their development. When confronting the United States and Europe in the future, Nanyang will not be in the same position. Fighting alone.
And what is the core of it?
Of course it is the dual control of economics and politics!
Otherwise, it will be like Japan in another world, and end up in a situation where everything is in vain.
In this way, recalling the pros and cons of Japan's "Flying Geese Model" in another era, Li Yian said:
"But in this "Flying Geese Model", there is closeness and distance. This closeness is based on political Those that can be controlled by us, such as Yanshen, should be Malaya, Mindanao, Surabaya, Siam, and, well, Kyushu. Economically, they are equivalent to the external extension of Nanyang's economy. Politically, they are directly affected by Nanyang's influence. Influence, as for South Korea, the Philippines and other countries, they..."
Shaking his head, Li Yian took a puff of his cigar and said slowly:
"They can be the tail of the geese, but The industrial transfer in Nanyang has not yet reached that stage. Everything always has to be done slowly. What about Shan State? Their future role is actually very complicated. First of all, it is located inland. In terms of economic development, , This alone restricts its development potential. Although there is the Mekong River,...inland river transportation is always restricted. "
In fact, it is not the restrictions on inland river transportation that are restricted. In fact, If the Mekong River is developed, its transport capacity is not necessarily worse than that of the Yangtze River. The only problem is that its outlet is located in Saigon. After the fall of Saigon, it will naturally be shipped, and the Khmer will also be controlled by Pol Pot in the future. , let alone trade, people went directly to de-urbanization.
In short, in one sentence, the future economic development of Shan State can be seen at the end at a glance. Therefore, Li Yian has his own plan for it.
“In the next ten years or so, Shan State will focus on building modern agriculture and banning farming. This is what they should do, and in this process, what they need is The situation is stable, so there is no need to consider the issue of independence. We will take it slowly in the future and wait until the time is right before considering this issue."
After thinking about it, Li Yian added.
“In the future, Mindanao and Surabaya will inevitably have to face these problems. Shan State... told Bangkok that we prefer them to maintain the status quo. Well, this is our basic position. , this can also be communicated with Yangon, but they must be told that if Yangon tries to break the current situation and create a humanitarian disaster in any way, Nanyang will not sit idly by and watch!”
Is this a threat?
Of course it's a threat!
Although it sounds unpleasant, Yangon must listen. If they don't listen, they will definitely have to pay a price.
"I will clearly inform Yangon of our wishes."
Li Guoren nodded slightly, and then reported some other issues, all of which were problems of neighboring countries. From the internal war in the country to the turbulence of public security in Saigon, and of course, Jakarta's attack on local rebel forces with the support of the Soviet Union, in short, everything in Southeast Asia seemed to be turbulent.
What will the chaotic situation turn into?
No one knows, not even Li Yian can predict the future. He can only analyze and make some instructions based on some things he knows.
Li Guoren stood motionless, accepting instructions and writing down all the key points.
