4424 The truth is more powerful than the cannon
Regardless of Ulangeli's surprised gaze, Xiao Letian made his combination punch, and he once again proved that a weapon that is more powerful than cannons in the world is... truth!
That’s right, what’s the biggest in the world? It’s always the biggest truth!
Of course, Tsarist Russia can show its force unscrupulously. What if you dominate Vladivostok and the Far East forever? It is still a bitter and cold Far East, and you still don’t have enough population to be a strong country?
Can there be any Chinese that really change the destiny of your country?
The birth rate of the cold zone population is too low. This is an unsolvable problem. Even after World War II in the 21st century, and in the world before Xiao Letian traveled through time, how many people in the vast Far East are there?
The total population of Siberia, which is more than 10 million square kilometers, is only more than 10 million. This population has become a pot of pepper in a pot of soup. If you know how to sprinkle a little Western, you will lose it!
Among the more than 10 million people, the elderly and children are excluded, and half of the women and half men, most of the women do not have to work, although men can work!
But how educated are these people? What kind of complex industrial production can they be responsible for?
Not to mention that this nation has serious alcoholism due to the cold, and its rough personality is very impatient and meticulous in industrial production!
Russia's industrial products have always been famous for their black and thick sizes. Where can they be refined?
It is so difficult to endure in the 21st century. Now at the end of the 19th century, there is only Germany in the world. Britain started a war on compulsory compulsory education. The revolution within Tsarist Russia has not even completed the revolution to abolish serfs?
How many suitable educated workers can be found to complete the industrial revolution? In this Far East, even if your Tsar built a new factory, how many suitable workers can you recruit?
Without workers, how can your industry develop?
The above analysis is all based on the fact that your Tsarist Russian military power is not challenging. Even if you develop peacefully, you will encounter such a big problem, let alone the Chinese people have risen now, and Xiao Letian is staring at your polar bear's every move!
How to solve it? Xiao Letian had no intention of humiliating Tsarist Russia today. He was like a university professor and a scholar, patiently reasoning with Ulan Geli!
There is a smile on your face and the words are full of politeness, but when all the words are combined together, they form a truth that you cannot argue!
The truth is the most powerful, the truth is even stronger than the cannon!
Ulangeli was already stupid. He completely shocked the scene described by Xiao Letian. He finally discovered the most core secret of Xiao Letian's rise!
This man understands the human world, more comprehensive and perfect than anyone else!
The entire human world is displayed in front of him like a pattern on the palm. No matter what problems you have, he can easily open his palm and tell you the answer and the truth!
You can't argue with him anyway, and under all his smile is the irrefutable truth flashing!
His family has been aristocrats from Tsarist Russia for several lifetimes and are all large manor owners. He thought he was already very familiar with his motherland!
But in front of Xiao Letian, Ulan Geli suddenly felt naked and naked ashamed!
What can you say? People’s understanding and analysis of you Tsarist Russia is deeper than your Tsarist Russian aristocrats! What they are talking about is the biggest shortcomings in your national strategy!
You can't deny it! Even many of other people's opinions and theories make you deafening, which you never thought of before!
The population problem is a decisive one. This problem cannot be solved by the Tsar and God. It cannot be solved in the 19th century, but it still cannot be solved in the 21st century!
The land is vast and the population is sparse! Just this word "sparse" has become the biggest obstacle to Tsarist Russia's prosperity and strength!
"Do you Tsarist elites fantasize about concentrating the population of the entire Siberian region, concentrating it in more than a dozen cities, and forming an industrial belt area with a population of one million?"
"Well! I can tell you responsibly that this is a delusion..."
Xiao Letian picked up the wine bottle and filled a glass of Ulan Grie. While pouring the wine, he said with a smile, "If you do that, you will lose it faster in the Far East!"
"Why? First of all, if you eat so much land, you must ensure effective control... and controlling an area proves that this is your territory. What does it depend on? It depends on the population!"
"What will happen if a large grassland and forest are not inhabited for a long time? It will allow the population of other countries and ethnic groups to penetrate! You will still throw these lands!"
"You are too greedy. You are reluctant to throw away such a large land, so you cannot take out the population and concentrate. As long as you start to move, it is the beginning of the loss of land!"
"Have you heard of the Three Kingdoms period? Has Sima Yi heard of it? Alas... you really should go and check out the Three Kingdoms!"
"Sima Yi once made an expedition to the Liaohe area, which is now the Liaoning area outside the pass... Although he quelled the rebellion, he moved all the Han people in the Liaohe area back to the Great Wall after the war!"
"It was from that time that the land outside the pass began to break away from the control of the Han people and had always been the ups and downs of ethnic minorities, even the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty..."
"Nominally owning the sovereignty of these lands, but the population structure has never been changed, so it can only be ruled on the surface and can never sink into the grassroots people!"
"The same problem you are facing now. If you urbanize, it will create a vacuum in many areas. The population here is too small, with only four or five million people, and only five or six cities will be concentrated!"
"The remaining land is definitely cheaper than the people around us!"
"It's absolutely different from how much land you have on the map and how much land you can actually control, what do you think?"
"Okay, let me talk about the second point... Even if you can concentrate your population and create one or two super cities to develop industry, how can you maintain such a big city?"
"Can the Far East, with its current technological level, afford to support it?"
"I just said that the cold zone is different from the tropical zone. Whether you are farming or fishing or hunting, the food yield is very low!"
"With the same land area, the population that can be supported by the cold zone is the smallest! To give a simple example, our Chinese people are in the reclamation area of Borneo, and the rice is ripe three times a year!"
"How many people can we support for this hectare of land?"
"But in the Siberian region of the cold zone, what can you plant a hectare of land? How much prey does hunt? How many people can you raise for the same hectare?"
"Sir, do you know how to supply food, drink, defecation and urination in cities with a population of one million? Can you solve these food problems yourself?"
"Can these big cities radiate to feed millions of people? Our Jiangnan in China can do it, and our tropical Borneo can do it... but you can't do it in the Far East!"
"If you can't support such a big city, you can only rely on imports of materials from outside to support the citizens!"
