In the past thirty-five years, the fastest development of the empire was not the economy and military, but education and scientific research. In terms of the overall level of education, the empire is indeed in an absolute leading position in the world because the empire has a large population.

And it is younger, and the total number of college students and colleges trained by universities across the country every year is equivalent to the scale of ten years in Britain and France.

The Empire currently has 197 comprehensive universities, 358 professional colleges and 1,190 colleges and universities, ranking first in the world. The total number of college students trained each year exceeds 1.2 million, and the total number of college graduates exceeds 3.5 million, accounting for the population of peers.

The 61, over the past decade, the average annual newborn population of the empire was 7.7 million, and the 12-year national education rate was 94.

The average annual admission rate of high school joint examination in the Empire is about 50, which means that 1/2 of the students can receive higher education. The additional college students are generally from the large-scale return of overseas Chinese students.

, as well as international students from Asian League countries, in the past five years, the scale of overseas Chinese and foreign students has increased significantly every year.

Chinese people do not lack educational resources overseas. Take the United States as an example. Almost all higher education institutions in the United States currently recruit Chinese students, such as Yale University, Columbia University, Vanderbilt University, Stanford University, California University, San Francisco University, etc.

It has a dedicated Chinese school, and the Chinese University of California is also the most unique American university that specializes in Chinese teaching.

The total population of Chinese in the United States only accounts for about 9, but in American universities, Chinese students can occupy 17. On average, one in every 6 college students is Chinese. The United States once made a statistics, and in the United States, it is currently 20 in the United States.

Among young people aged 28, the proportion of Chinese people receiving and receiving university education is 2.1 to 7.3 times that of other ethnic groups.

In Southeast Asia, where the most overseas Chinese are concentrated, almost 70 universities use Chinese teaching. These universities are basically private schools sponsored by Chinese businessmen and Chinese socially, and in fact they basically only recruit Chinese people.

Taking Thailand as an example, there are currently 15 million Chinese in Thailand. If you calculate the general sense of mixed-race Chinese, the total number is as high as 18.5 million, accounting for 66 of Thailand's total population. There are 152 universities in Thailand now, and there are schools that use Chinese language teaching.

There are 147 schools, and there are 113 schools that only teach Chinese language, while the proportion of Chinese college students in the total number of Thai college students is close to 90.

The whole Chinese world attaches great importance to education.

In the local area, Chinese students returning overseas account for 12 of the total number of college students, but in the graduate and doctoral education stages, the total proportion of overseas Chinese students in college students increased to 21.

Now a very common situation is that Chinese people live overseas, receive basic education, return to their local area to receive higher education, especially graduate education or above. Every year, a large number of college students go overseas to look for opportunities after graduation.

There are also a large number of Chinese college students returning from overseas who stay in China to work.

In the Chinese world, this is a very special situation that is completely different from Britain, the United States, France and other countries.

There is another very special thing about imperial higher education, that is, the nationalization of higher education. The empire is actually pursuing a goal of universal university education. The ultimate direction is that all farmers and workers of the younger generation must accept high school.

College education, the entire country is developing towards high education and high technology. In the undergraduate education, applied undergraduate education basically accounts for half. Therefore, the scale of graduate education in the Empire is unprecedentedly large, and one-third of college students who graduate from bachelor degree are in the city.

Study further in the pressures and requirements of the social environment.

In 1940, there were 3.423 million high school students, 1.224 million bachelor's graduates, 355,000 master's degree, and 73,000 doctoral degree. Compared with the United States, this data is almost 7 times the level of the United States in the same period, which is equivalent to

The accumulation of American higher education over seven years.

Compared with Britain and France, this multiple is even more amazing.

Even comparing high school students and secondary school students, the total number of graduates who complete 12-year education in the Empire is five times that of the United States. It is this high-quality overall education level that is driving the Empire to move forward rapidly.

In the past five years, the gap between China and the United States in economy and technology has not narrowed, but is gradually expanding. Taking the home appliance industry, which is the most competitive at this stage, as an example, China's home appliance industry inventions and technology last year

There are as many as 40,000 patents, while there are only 9,752 in the United States during the same period.

This is actually a very amazing gap.

Education is the foundation of a country and a nation. If the competition in modern countries is a competition of scientific research strength, then education is the basic condition of scientific research.

Under the agreement of the Shanghai Free Trade Treaty, the Sino-US economic dispute basically showed its final outcome in 1941. In 1933, when the two countries signed the World Free Trade Treaty, the US trade deficit with China was only 2.3.

The scale of US$100 million. By 1941, the US trade deficit with China had widened to US$1.7 billion. What's worse is that the trade structure between China and the United States has undergone tremendous changes. The US exports to China from the past machinery, electrical, resources, and agricultural products.

The four-legged strength has become one advantage of only resources. In other words, the United States, the second largest global economy, is becoming a supplier of raw materials to China.

In the past seven years, the United States' aviation, machinery, electrical, home appliances, electronics, shipbuilding, automobiles, chemicals, textiles, and food industries have all suffered from the impact of the cold winter. Even in this special period of war prosperity, the United States

**Industry does not have much share from the international market.

For the United States, its most difficult problem is that its gold reserves are gradually being weakened in international free trade.

With the destruction of the European economy, the United States suffered a very serious impact at the same time. The United States, which had just crawled out of the Great Depression, was hit by another severe impact. At this time, the United States had decided to depreciate the US dollar significantly within the year.

To alleviate the national economic difficulties and the huge trade deficit between China and the United States.

After the pound basically collapsed, the US dollar is the only currency in the world that can still compete with China and the US dollar for the world's currency status. The China dollar and the US dollar are also the main foreign exchange reserves of countries at this stage, especially the US dollar foreign exchange reserves held by the People's Bank of China.

The total amount is also amazing.

Without the consent of the People's Bank of China, it will be difficult for the United States to depreciate the US dollar directly. If it angers the People's Bank of China and leads to a completely out-of-control depreciation of the US dollar, it will be completely defeated by China like the United Kingdom.

Therefore, the United States can only negotiate with China in great pain, seeking to implement a devaluation of the US dollar with the support of China to rescue the increasingly difficult US real economy.

As long as there is a strong education, the stronger the stronger the stronger it is the eternal law of this world.

China's population is three times that of the United States. In the competition between the two strongest China and the United States, once China exceeds it, it will be very difficult for the United States to catch up. Moreover, in this kind of competition across the world, as long as the United States falls one step, it will be difficult to suppress the future.

Long-term decline.

This truth is the same as the competition between China and the United States in the 21st century. Once China surpasses the United States in terms of education, economy and scientific research, it will be difficult for the United States to maintain the dollar exchange rate and reverse the national economy. The entire US economy will be trapped in a huge quagmire and difficult to do so.

Exhaust yourself.

The empire is so powerful, how many things should be worryed about in this world? Even in the face of the madness of Nazi Germany, the empire and His Majesty of Hua did not have much worry.

For traditional powers such as Britain and the United States, once China surpasses them and becomes the world hegemon, the situation ahead will be completely out of control.

This is the case now.

Imperial Finance Minister Chen Jin has gone to Hawaii to hold a new round of talks with the US Treasury Secretary, either the China dollar has increased by 20 or the US dollar has depreciated by 20. There is no other way.

Compared with the option of depreciating the US dollar, the Empire would rather let the China dollar appreciate, but the appreciation ratio could not reach 20. The upper limit of the central government is "China dollar rises 7.5, and the US dollar depreciates 5". The two sides reached a new agreement to end the current debate.

, temporarily stabilize Sino-US international trade.

The United States is China's largest export market, and it is obviously not in China's interests to sit idly by and watch the US economy collapse.

If the United States collapses, the World Free Trade Association located in Shanghai will inevitably collapse, which is even more in line with China's national interests. Of course, if China is required to make appropriate concessions and support to save the US economy, the United States will also inevitably be in the South Pacific.

The U.S. government made significant concessions to China. The U.S. government's bargaining chip was to withdraw from the Philippines and recognize the Philippines. The empire actually wanted this. There was not much controversy between the two sides in theory.

Facts have proved that once the ancient empire of the Chinese Empire regained its youth, the progress of this empire will never be stopped.

This is a new empire with youthful vigor. Its mainstream class is a group of new young people who grew up with the empire from 20 to 40. In almost all fields, they are the most mainstream forces to promote the continued rapid development of the empire.

, and over the past thirty years, the rapid development speed and scale of the empire are also the rarest great revival movement in the entire world history.

Even though it is already the most powerful empire in the world, and its total economic output accounts for more than 1/3 of the world's GDP, the empire still has greater room for development.

...

Emperor Song Biao wanted to go to Japan in person to see what the devastated Japan looked like. He did not go there in the end. After the trip to North Korea, he flew back to the Northeast to inspect the development of the new jetliner.

Because the fuel consumption rate of turbojet engines is too high, the new Northeast Airlines Industrial Holding Group, established based on Shenyang Aircraft Company, did not choose the turbojet passenger aircraft plan. From the beginning, they contacted the jet passenger aircraft with the turbofan engine. Together, based on the military turbofan 2 type engine, the WS202 large bypass ratio commercial passenger aircraft engine is developed, while the WS205 engine, which also belongs to the large bypass ratio, is used in new military transport aircraft.

At this time, the empire had gradually formed an aviation industry layout of three large and seven small. The northeast and Jiangnan were the two major aviation bases of the empire. The center of Northeast Airlines was in Shenyang, and the industry of Jiangnan Airlines was scattered in Nanjing, Shanghai, Ningbo, and Nanchang. , Hefei and other places gradually shifted to Ningbo to build a new Jiangnan Aviation Technology Group. The third largest aviation industry base is located in Fuzhou, but in terms of overall strength, there is still a big gap between the two strongest Jiangnan, and the others are Xi'an, Tianjin, Chengdu, Wuhan, Taiyuan and Beijing also have a certain scale of aviation industries and enterprises distribution.

Because the main strength is concentrated in Northeast Aviation and Jiangnan Aviation, the development contract for the next generation of aircraft of the Imperial Central Military Department is basically occupied by two major aircraft manufacturers, the next generation of heavy dual-engine fighter, large military transport aircraft, and large tonnage The contract for the helicopter is in the Northeast, while the development contract for the next generation of medium-sized single-engine fighter, medium-tactical military transport aircraft, medium-sized helicopters, and armed helicopters is in Jiangnan, and the contract for the Navy's twin-engine medium-carrier-based aircraft is in Fuzhou Aircraft Industry Company, which is not the Central Army. The simple allocation of the department is the result of the three large aeronautical companies' campaigns in their respective plans.

Of course, the three major aircraft groups are supported by strong consortiums. Even without the contract of the Central Military Department, the three companies can join hands with other small companies to invest in the research and development of new military aircraft to seek overseas markets, especially in military transport aircraft and helicopter competitions, especially in military transport aircraft and helicopters. Fuzhou Heavy Industry, which failed in CUHK, launched two non-military scientific research projects at the same time with the support of its parent company Nanyang Consortium, and tried to occupy a greater share in the market of small and medium-sized jet passenger aircraft.

Competition is a good thing.

Under the pressure of Jiangnan Heavy Industry, Northeast Aviation Industry Group also relies on the support of the entire Northeast Heavy Industry Consortium to fully invest in the development of three major military aircraft projects and large jet passenger aircraft. This of course also ensures that Northeast China's leading position in the entire Chinese aviation industry. Status is related to the collective fate of the entire consortium and more than 400 affiliated enterprises.

In this imperial era, the strength of the Northeast had many inevitable factors, such as first-mover advantage, and the rich mineral resources in the Northeast and surrounding areas. In order to compete with the Northeast Consortium, the Jiangnan and Nanyang Consortium were inherently insufficient in resource reserves in the region. , coupled with the local rise of the northwest, southwest, Huguang and Shanxi consortiums, they can only adopt a large-scale overseas expansion strategy. The Nanyang consortium mainly concentrates its resource production areas in Southeast Asia, while the Jiangnan consortium sets its main resource supply areas in the Central and South American markets.

It is precisely because of this that the empire must surpass other countries in the scale and plan of naval construction for a long time. Northeast Heavy Industry has signed a contract with the Central Military Department to start the pre-research work on the nuclear power system of large ships, which is expected to be around 1950. This plan will be officially launched.

Before this, the empire's first-generation nuclear power plant had been confirmed to be officially started in Sakhalin Island in the Far East in 1945. It is expected that the site will be selected in other coastal areas around 1950, and the second generation will be carried out during the same period.

development of nuclear power plant engineering.

Due to the need for the development of the imperial nuclear weapons, there are special heavy water reactors in the first and second generation nuclear power projects. From the main point of view, the Empire will still consider light water reactors more in the long run.

Song Biao went back to the Northeast for inspection this time to see with his own eyes the progress of these new scientific research projects that are crucial to the future development of the empire. He visited more than 60 scientific research institutions and factories along the way, and also went to Zhendan.

The university and Northeastern University feel that it is basically very good. If it continues to develop at this rate, it is expected that by 1950, the technological gap between the empire and Europe and the United States will further expand.

This is very important.

The empire was strong and destined to be stronger. With new results in both Japan and immigration policies, the only problem now is to deal with the Nazi Germany issue as soon as possible.

After returning to Beijing, Emperor Song Biao reviewed the progress of the nuclear weapons plans provided by the Central Military Intelligence Department on Germany, Britain and the United States. The empire has completed the development of the miniaturization of hydrogen bombs of 500,000 tons and 1 million tons of equivalents.

The latter began to be officially equipped and produced as a major nuclear warhead in 1940, and the maximum equivalent of airborne hydrogen bombs carried by large bombers can reach a scale of 5 million tons.

The total number of existing nuclear warheads in the empire is 145 and 33 airborne nuclear bombs. It is expected that by October next year, the nuclear warheads will be expanded to 220 and the airborne nuclear bombs will be increased to 50. Among the active nuclear warheads, the most advanced one million

The total number of CNW5-40-100D thermonuclear warheads with a ton equivalent is 93.

This quantity level is enough for China to level Germany and the United States at the same time. In the nuclear weapons plans of Germany, Britain and the United States, Germany, which has been preparing the longest, has made the fastest progress, followed by Britain. The United States is relatively in the early preparation stage, even if it is Germany, it is not far from the actual situation.

The available stage is about 3-5 years, which is about 10-15 years away from the empire.

After reviewing the latest information, Emperor Song Biao called Chief of Staff Jiang Fangzhen. The two talked about this issue for more than ten minutes. They had basically the same idea, that is, to strive to deal with Germany before October next year.

The declaration of war shall not exceed October 1943 at the latest, and they hope to end the war.

October 1943.

This is the deadline for the Empire to decide to adopt a nuclear bomb attack. If Nazi Germany was not eliminated before this, they would directly use nuclear weapons on a large scale without hesitation. The first principle is to eliminate the main force of the German and Italian coalition forces, and the second principle is

Eliminate major industrial cities.

After the end of this war, the empire did not need to consider facing the threat from the Soviet Union. Therefore, after the war, the empire not only did not have a plan to provide large-scale assistance to Britain and France to rebuild, but would also deprive most of the machinery from Germany and Italy.
