Chapter 773: Twenty-five. Imperial period 4600 years (7)

"Building a chemical plant in a joint venture with the Principality...Is it really good to do this?"
Thor on the side turned around, his eyes full of incredible, Freya, who had always been the die-hard of the governor, questioned the decision of the governor, which was very rare. Top-point-fiction..
Ignoring Thor's surprise, Freya continued:
"The agriculture under the management of the consortium is completely ecological agriculture, and the demand for fertilizers and pesticides is not as much as it used to be, even if it is to reduce environmental protection costs and labor costs, and it can be converted into explosives and poisonous gas during wartime to increase logistics support. But there is no need to cooperate with the Principality?"
She emphasized the word "cooperation", and anyone could hear the source of dissatisfaction.
Freya is not a control freak, nor an extreme nationalist and a great power chauvinist. In the past, cooperation between the consortium and external forces was not uncommon, and she did not see her jumping out against it. This time, the question came out because of the potential risks of the cooperation content.
"It's no problem to transfer high-pollution and high-risk chemical plants to the Principality, but why should we let the Principality's officials mix it? Although wartime can produce poison gas and explosives for us, this kind of thing can't be concealed by the Principality, In case they propose to produce these gadgets for the team, or ask for related technologies, does this not mean strengthening the strength of potential opponents?"
After all, the last one is what she cares about.
The elven's greatest advantage is its technological monopoly. Based on this, it achieves a comprehensive transcendence of other intelligent species, and finally reaches the point where it can realize the ideal of nation building. It is precisely because of the full experience and understanding of the benefits of advanced technology that elves are particularly sensitive to the outflow of technology.
Chemical plants are no longer new to Alfheim. The elves knew their versatility. Plants that produce pesticides can easily be transformed into chemical weapons factories that kill gases, and the facilities for producing fertilizers can be adjusted to make explosives. The joint carbide plant with a joint venture with the Principality may only use primitive, crude equipment, and trained employees will only follow the operating instructions for production. But accidents always exist, just as Dr. Gerhard Schrader, who studies organophosphorus pesticides, synthesizes sarin under the influence of some accidental factors, the bears may also discover the little secrets at some point- Without even bothering them, they will soon think of enhancing the toxicity of insecticides—cyanide, organophosphorus, or organic lipid compounds to kill people according to future war needs.
This is almost an inevitable development trend, because the elves do just that.
"Your point of view has the correct part and the incorrect part."
Li Lin answered with a wry smile:
"Establishment of a joint venture is not only an economic and technical issue, but also a political issue. If we still need the Principality to continue to serve our interests. We should give the orcs a little sweetness. Let the mudfoot giant continue to exist. Not for a little bit. Xiaoli Xiaoli, let the Romanov dynasty collapse, and spill the revolutionary plague towards the surroundings."
"revolution?"
"Socialists, anarchists, opportunists, republicans, and many more people who are dissatisfied with the status quo-are constantly uprising. Once the goal of changing the world is achieved. These surplus energy. I do not know how Manage the country. Sooner or later, violent people who are unable to change the dilemma of the society will target the outside world sooner or later, hoping to'liberate the world and unite the world's proletariat to change their dilemma.'
"God..."
Freya and Brenhill looked at each other, and they immediately thought of the short-lived "Republic of St. Esteban".
After the initial victory has passed. The revolutionaries soon fell into the comments Engels used to comment on the French Revolution—"People who boast of having carried out a revolution often found out the following day: they did not understand what they were doing, and the revolution The results are not the same as what they had originally imagined."
There is no specific course of action, only a vague political slogan and a vague and chaotic republican system, but this does not prevent them from calling the Charlemagne people to join the "fight against tyrants and tyranny." The always obedient crown leaders will do this, replacing the orcs with short temper and severe violence, and exporting the revolution is only a matter of time.
"Although the violent institutions in the Principality can still effectively perform their duties, they will eventually be able to suppress the rebellion, but the national power of the Principality will inevitably be hit hard, and they will be restored to the state that they can assume the role of strategic containment... This time The span is completely disconnected from the strategic timetable we have set."
The elves needed the Principality to contain Lapland and the Charlemagne troops in the territory when the "Yellow Plan" was launched. An excessively weak Principality obviously unable to accomplish this mission. To resolve this dilemma, the only way to improve the national power of the principality is to resolve some of the social contradictions.
"So you propose to set up a joint venture chemical plant."
"Yes."
Creating employment is the quickest way to solve the hotbed of revolution. Naturally, after food and clothing, it is rare to consider violent revolution. Even if some people instigate propaganda, how many people are willing to throw their heads and spread their blood when the life is still going through? No matter how dissatisfied the citizens are with the government, how much they like to say that the government is not good or bad, it seems that they wish to overthrow the government immediately. In the final analysis, it is nothing but a complaint. People who can still live in peacetime have little interest in blending in a violent revolution. The root cause of the turmoil in the Principality is precisely the result of the hardship of the citizens and the resentment of the government approaching the tipping point.
The joint venture plant proposed by Li Lin can solve this problem.
Take the Khomel Food Factory as an example. Its main product is canned luncheon meat. This item alone involves many related industries such as pig breeding, slaughtering, transportation, processing and container production. Enough to create tens of thousands or more jobs, and provide enough food supply for St. Petersburg. Considering that there are dwarves and camels who do not eat pork in the Principality, and white elephants who have migrated from Albion and do not eat beef, the breeding and processing of related cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and ducks can create many jobs and profit points. The effect on stabilizing society is obvious.
As for the joint carbide. Because it involves more industries and creates more jobs, plus the direct promotion of fertilizers and pesticides on the Principality’s agriculture. As long as it takes patience to spend a little time, the Principality will gradually become stable and regain the heavy responsibility behind the protection of Yalfheim.
"Technical leaks..."
"As long as you are prepared for training and daily production, the probability that workers taught in accordance with the instructions and training will produce poisonous gas and explosives is very low. There is no special chemical theory and chemist in the Principality, even if you know that chemical plants can Incorporating into armament production, it doesn’t make any sense to understand the specific operational procedures. In contrast, the orcs’ love of vodka’s nature makes me more worried, God knows if there will be a drunkard leaking a highly toxic substance.

It is this concern. Li Lin dismissed the establishment of a biopharmaceutical company in the Principality. And the idea of ​​establishing a town named "Raccoon Town" centered on pharmaceutical companies. The most leakage of chemical substances is that the land in a certain area can not be used for decades. The bacteria and viruses studied by the Defense Research Institute of Biology, especially the Umbrella, once spread due to the accidental operation of a drunkard...
It's a pity to give up this idea, but the cannery and chemical plant are enough to absorb some of the social pressure. It is considered to have achieved its purpose. Li Lin had no plans to achieve industrialization for the Principality. It is enough to achieve this level.
This alone made Count Orlov very excited. In the following talks, he "naturally" proposed to strengthen the relationship between the two parties, from "strategic cooperation partner" to "blood friendship formed by blood"-to put it bluntly. It is to hope that the consortium will establish an independent country or control Charlemagne as soon as possible, and then work with the Principality to completely solve the "Lapland problem."
The senior leaders of the Principality, including Elder Witt, are soberly aware that as long as there is a fulcrum in Lapland, the human camp can always use various economic, political, and military levers to intervene in the Principality. Neither Albian nor Charlemagne would make the Principality swallow Lapland comfortably. The Principality lacks the characteristics of a sense of strategic security, and the long-cherished desire to obtain an unfrozen port determines that they must swallow Lapland to expand their strategic depth and use it as a springboard to go south. Based on these contradictions, conflicts, history, beliefs, and other issues, the principality of the Principality is keenly aware that no matter which country of the human camp they cooperate with, they will not allow the Principality to swallow Lapland. For this reason, even if the internal struggle is temporarily shelved and the Principality fights A battle is also spared. With this sign, they must foster a force that is friendly to the Principality and has contradictions with human nations. Through this force, the rising east wind will share Lapland with it.
There is no doubt that only the consortium meets the above needs. Both financial strength and strength are impeccable. Judging from the various signs of cooperation between them and the Principality, their ambitions are no small matter. As long as you make good use of it, you can not only add chaos to Charlemagne, but if you are lucky, you can solve Lapland.
"The Earl of Orlov told me that it is not worth keeping Lapland, it should be fully occupied."
Li Lin paused for a moment, imitating the tone of Count Orlov-a serious, non-ethical guilt tone said:
"'Independent Lapland is after all a long-term source of unrest in the world... Out of these considerations, I firmly believe that it is best to keep the territory that belongs to Lapland conceptually in the hands of a country, that is, a new country established by a consortium. The consortium can be I did what I wanted to do there...The consortium will do very good and profitable things. After that, the Special Envoy invited me to visit the Principality as soon as possible to interview Elder Wit how to divide Lapland."
"Really enthusiastic."
"Not only that, the enthusiastic Earl Orlov also imagined the preparations for entering Lapland, military, political, and Okrana-sending special operations teams to search, dispose and clear the Lapland people and this The country’s core figures in politics, economy, culture, religion, etc., and fight the rebellion."
"Oh, it's an exaggeration."
Brenhill shook her head. It was difficult for her to understand that an earl would take such a thing seriously, as if Orlov was not a diplomat, but a concentration camp commander or secret agent.
She did not know that, in addition to the "Special Action Team", Earl Orlov also eagerly consulted Li Lin to see if he could build a "model facility" similar to the Katyn Forest, so that the Principality could build a similar high-efficiency facility to replace Gulag, against endless political prisoners and mobs. And Li Lin also happily promised to build a smaller concentration camp first, using the "Lease Act" to provide a "steam bath", an elevator carrying 25 corpses at a time, a three-story giant incinerator to make soap Fat decomposition device and other equipment for the Principality to experience...
The Principality is not the Soviet Union, and Alfheim is not Nazi Germany, but in some respects, they have established something similar to the red imperialism and the black fascism that the comrades of iron and steel called "the blood between the German people and the Soviet people. The "condensed friendship of brothers" is only when it is necessary to discuss "the two countries have joined forces to make the ugly gadget of Lapland disappear from the surface." In order to promote this kind of "friendship", in addition to benefits, it also needs the lubrication of blood-mob, revolutionary, minority, human... a thick layer of blood.
Officers do not need to know these things. Whether it is for their personal future or for the country, it is not a good thing to know what they should not know.
They only need to know one thing.
"...The Principality will continue to pay off various loans in the form of barter trade, plus the company's enclosure farms, pastures, mines, logging yards, and livestock ranches in the Principality. It is roughly estimated that by the middle of next year, we will receive 161.21 10,000 tons of cereals, 166,000 tons of soybeans, 42,600 tons of beef, 21,200 tons of vegetable oil, 4,981 tons of fat, 14,638 tons of dried nuts, 2,482 tons of rapeseed, 1921 tons of dried coconut meat, 78,114 tons of whale oil, 24,761 tons of fish oil, 4,182 tons of glycerin, 200,000 tons of cotton, 140,000 tons of cotton yarn and yarn, 368 tons of raw silk, 1963 tons of hemp fiber, 121 tons of wool, 122,800 tons of wood, 202,000 tons of phosphate, 165,000 tons of manganese ore, 23,400 tons of chrome ore, 587 Tons of tin ore, 260 tons of antimony ore...enough to meet the needs of war~EbookFREE.me~The data is boring, but if you convert the data into a simple and easy-to-understand concept, you will understand how huge this resource is-1941 Before the Nazi Germany launched the "Barbarossa" operation on June 22, 2014, before launching a raid on the Soviet Union, the total amount of reserve materials was roughly close to the above data.
In other words, in terms of resources, the elf camp is fully prepared. Even if an embargo is encountered, the materials from overseas colonies are difficult to transport back to the country in time. The Defence Forces also have sufficient resources to support operations until they finally win.
"Diplomacy, politics, and resources are all ready, and there is only one thing left."
The juvenile face lifted the corner of his mouth, and the confidants smiled at each other.
"Before the war, how could there be fewer memorials."
Li Lin said casually, as if the joy came from the bottom of his heart. (To be continued...)
