After seeing off Dongfang Xun and James Howlett, Lin Qiming left the training ground.
When he returned home, he found that his son Lin Zongye, who had been away from home for a long time, had also returned and was sitting in the living room watching TV. He couldn’t help but ask
“Son, when did you come back? Why didn’t you call me?”
Yes, in today’s First American Republic, televisions, telephones, refrigerators, air conditioners, etc. have become popular. These are all the products that Lin Qiming, the time traveler, provided ideas and concepts to major laboratories, and hundreds of top scientists and tens of thousands of scientific researchers worked hard to create. There are also many more advanced technological products that are in the confidential stage.
It can be said that the real technological level in the Republic today is roughly the same as that of the Earth in 1945 before he traveled through time.
Items such as electronic computers, jet aircraft, anti-submarine rocket depth bombs, and deep-sea sonar detectors have been invented, but only top federal officials and military generals know about them in the Republic.
The level of science and technology is even catching up with that of 1960, such as space exploration rockets, nuclear fission reactor power plants, orbital satellites, Internet technology, etc.
However, these too advanced technologies have not been announced to the public, but only used within the Lin Group.
Only Kohlsbruch in the federal government was allowed to visit.
So a strange phenomenon appeared. On the same earth, the First American Republic and other countries in the world are like being in different eras. People who have been to other countries from the Republic will think that the foreign countries are very backward.
Lin Zongye, who is already 50 years old, still looks young. Hearing this, he stood up from the sofa and saluted respectfully before saying 677
“Father, you are now free from official duties, but I am still the Minister of Defense. I am sorry that I cannot always show my filial piety to you and mother. Wouldn’t it be unfilial of me to go home and disturb your retirement life?”
“No matter how big the matter is, it is not as important as your practice and happiness, so I didn’t call you.”
After he finished speaking, he saw Lin Qiming sitting down, walked to the tea room, made a pot of hot tea and brought it over, and quickly poured a cup for his father according to the old rules and placed it on the tea table.
“The urgent documents from the Black Ice Platform were sent to me. According to their investigation, the conflict in the Balkans has re-emerged, and the situation in Europe is developing as you predicted before.”
“The two camps are gearing up for an arms race, and the scale of the conflict is likely to escalate. I think it would be a waste of a God-given opportunity to just stand by and watch.”
Lin Qiming looked at him deeply and savored the tea slowly.
The First World War was indeed a good opportunity. Once the two major camps in Europe went to war, the scope of the war would not only affect Europe, but also their colonies would be caught in the vortex. His son had set his eyes on the few remaining colonies of Britain, France, the Netherlands, and Spain, and wanted to seize them while the European powers were busy with their own affairs.
“You, you are still as greedy as when you were little. We have only conquered the entire Americas for less than 40 years.”
“There are still some troubles in South America from time to time now, and you are eyeing the meat in other people’s pots again. You should know that fatty meat is delicious, but eating too much will cause indigestion and stomach upset!”
“Since you have been paying attention to the situation in Europe, you should know that there are more than 20 countries that may participate in the war. Considering the stakeholders that may join the war in the future, the scale of this imminent world war is unprecedentedly huge. We can make countless profits just by selling our obsolete weapons and ammunition to both sides.”
He tapped his son for a few words, and then patiently explained.
The First Republic of America now has a technological level far superior to that of Europe, and its military strength is unmatched by all the countries in the world combined. In the face of increasingly severe global economic and political disputes, it still maintains a transcendent position. No country dares to take this giant superpower as an opponent.
Lin Qiming naturally would not let his own side enter the game and become a pawn swept away by the torrent of history.
What he wants is to jump out of the chessboard and become a chess player in the world chess game, and this is just part of the grander vision for the future. The real goal is to transcend this comprehensive Marvel Universe and stand at the pinnacle of the almighty cosmic power.
Therefore, the world war that his son Lin Zongye attaches great importance to is not a big deal in Lin Qiming’s eyes. At most, the factories and enterprises producing civilian products under the Lin Group will suffer losses, but the hot sales performance of the military industry will surge again, which is enough to offset these losses and make a fortune. And this money is much greater than the benefits brought by robbing colonies of European countries.
“In a word, the current development focus is to stabilize the country. They fight their wars, and we do our things. Don’t let the petty gains blind you, and take a long-term view.”
The conversation between the father and son ended here. The superpower, which was enough to influence the world situation, had already decided on a strategy of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, waiting to reap the benefits of this world war.
In the following years, it was also verified that what Lin Qiming said was correct.
During the First World War from July 28, 1914 to November 11, 1918, the First American Republic reaped more than 210 billion US dollars in wealth from the 33 participating countries just by selling obsolete weapons and equipment.
No participating country would not empty its own pockets to buy their weapons and equipment, because even obsolete ones were more advanced than what they had. If you didn’t buy them, you would suffer on the battlefield. As the war became more intense (cbbd), more weapons and equipment had to be purchased. The world’s largest cash flow flowed into the First American Republic.
If you follow Lin Zongye’s idea to seize colonies, whether you can make so much money or not, just feeding the group of lazy natives who have to be whipped to work is enough to be a headache.
And too much hot money pouring into the country did not cause the First American Republic to fall into inflation. The money was spent on various high-tech research institutes and laboratories, or on infrastructure construction, which is a bottomless pit, and on the exploration of extraterrestrial space, and it did not enter the market circulation link at all.
However, there is no pure good thing in the world. With the updating and iteration of production technology and tools, the number of unemployed people in many traditional industries has gradually increased, and some riots have also occurred.
In agriculture, due to the large number of high-efficiency agricultural machinery put on the market, farmers and ranchers suddenly found that farming does not require hundreds or thousands of slaves, but only 10 people who know how to operate new agricultural machinery can easily manage thousands of acres of land.
So more and more people began to sell slaves, which also caused the price of slaves to plummet. In the end, all slaves were acquired by the National Slave Company, which ended the farce of slave traders jumping off buildings every day.
More than 2 million slaves could not just be kept for food, so they naturally had to find new uses for them. It happened that every year during the clinical testing of new drugs by pharmaceutical companies, volunteers would die, so these slaves were sold to pharmaceutical companies at a fair price and used to replace experimental animals for drug testing, which just happened to promote the advancement of human medical technology.
Unlike the fate of the slaves, the citizens of the country who also lost their jobs from farms and ranches were properly arranged and entered the new technology training schools established by the state to study and become workers who adapt to new technologies and new technological production tools, contributing to the infrastructure construction of the First American Republic.
The same is true for the unemployed workers who were eliminated in other industries. After entering the training school to study, they can get a new job if they pass the assessment.
The 2 million kilometers of highway construction projects and 300,000 kilometers of railway projects, which just happened to receive qualified workers after these trainings, and a large number of reemployed people had stable incomes, further stimulated the expansion of demand in the commodity consumption market, and the economic development of the First American Republic once again increased its growth rate.
Taking advantage of the opportunity that European countries were busy with post-war reconstruction and the people’s living standards were declining, many university professors and researchers could not receive full wages. The Lin Group offered the world’s highest salary and poached talented scientists such as Bohr, Marie Curie, Bonn, Planck, Schrödinger, etc., and assigned them to different laboratories according to their research directions.
Many of the scientists who were poached were originally for a better life, but after seeing many technological products in the laboratory that far exceeded their research level, they took the attitude of learning and pilgrimage and plunged into the laboratory and did not want to go out.
After these talented scientists kept up with the progress of laboratory research, their wild imagination and occasional bursts of inspiration led the researchers in the same research group to develop more and more advanced technologies, further widening the gap in technological levels with other countries in the world.
As one thing grows, the other declines. On the one hand, European countries are still in the pain of post-war reconstruction, and on the other hand, they are also in a period of sluggish scientific and technological progress, which makes the European governments hate and fear the First American Republic. (To read the novels of Bao Shuang, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
During this period, Lin Qiming also secretly contacted these genius scientists.
He copied a lot of scientific terms from these people. Although most of them were white and green terms, and only a very few of the most outstanding people had blue terms, after the integration, he also had a deep understanding of all fields of natural science, and he would not be defrauded of scientific research funds.
At the same time, with this rich scientific knowledge, it is much easier to guide laboratories and research institutes to conquer new technologies. Not only can they state the research direction and route, but they can also give suggestions that hit the nail on the head. In fact, they have also gained a wave of reputation in the scientist circle and have a certain authority..
