Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

  Chapter 932 British Industrial Level

Seeing that Yang Chen didn't speak, Youde was not in a hurry, because he knew that the person in front of him would definitely agree. Although the United Kingdom has fallen, this is only limited to the economic aspect. Without the cheap raw materials and huge sales market in the colonies, the British economy is weakened. Also within reason.

   However, the economy belongs to the economy, and the industry belongs to the industry.

  The economy is not good, but it does not mean that industrial technology is not good either.

   Russia in later generations is a good example. Although Russia’s domestic economy is not good, it still maintains the status of the second military power in the world relying on the huge legacy left by the former Soviet Union.

   Until the 21st century, Russia has been regarded as the biggest enemy and threat by European countries. In the future, Russia will be the only country that dares to challenge the superpower of the United States face to face, except for the rising inland.

  The confrontation between Russia and the United States is mostly in the military field.

   The confrontation between the inland and the United States is mostly in the economic field.

   In later generations, China and Russia are the same on the issue of confrontation with the United States. The two countries leverage each other's strength. China and Russia together will become an enhanced version of the former Soviet Union, which can completely confront the United States.

   People often say, 'A dead skinny camel is bigger than a horse'.

  Russia has inherited the huge industrial system of the Soviet Union and has always been in a leading position in the field of military manufacturing, and very few are even more advanced than the United States.

   With the legacy of the former Soviet Union, Russia is not much inferior to the United States except that its economy is not as good as that of the United States.

  However, how long did the United States and the Soviet Union dominate the world in total?

  Ten years, or twenty years?

   It has only been 40 years since the end of World War II, and Britain started the industrial revolution as early as the mid-18th century, and after completing its industrialization in the 19th century, it has already dominated the world.

  From the end of the eighteenth century to the nineteenth century to the beginning of the twenty-first century, it belongs to the era of British **** of the world.

   You must know that before World War II, the UK was still the world's No. 1 power. Even if the United States, Germany and France were not reconciled, they could only succumb to it.

The United States, which achieved great development in World War I and World War II, did not jump out with the Soviet Union to pick fruit until after the end of World War II, and it took decades after that to gradually reduce Britain's international influence. eliminate.

   Britain has risen rapidly since the Industrial Revolution. It spanned three centuries in the early days and dominated for more than a century. Without the support of advanced industrial technology, how could it maintain its huge navy?

   And the United Kingdom is the third country to develop a "combined" weapon after World War II, after the United States and the Soviet Union,

  As the first developed country to achieve industrialization, the United Kingdom has become a world-class power, if not the most powerful country, since it entered the era of industrialization.

   Its decline is not due to its own weak industrial strength. The UK has the most complete education system in the world today, and its accumulation of industrial technology is unmatched by many countries.

The decline of Britain was mainly due to the fact that he encountered a stupefied young Germany. During the two world wars, Germany seemed to have been cursed by others. Forget it.

   was willing to be cut all over, and dared to pull the emperor off his horse.

  Two world wars, each of which lasted for several years. In addition to having an advantage in the early stage, Germany was basically at a loss with Britain and France in the later stage.

  Why did Britain, France and other countries insist that Germany carry a large debt after the two world wars?

   In addition to the heavy losses, the other one is that Germany is too angry. Knowing that the result is a loss, it still refuses to surrender. It is not until the last breath of the big guy is exhausted that he raises the white flag to surrender.

  The status of the United States and the Soviet Union today was not achieved by fighting against European countries with fists. The two countries simply jumped out to pick peaches after others were exhausted from fighting and had no strength.

  The two world wars exhausted Britain’s previous hundreds of years of accumulation, and the rise of national independence made the British colonial system unsustainable, which led to Britain’s fall from hegemony.

   Since the Second World War, although the national strength of the United Kingdom has continued to weaken, the industrial technology accumulated in the early stage has not been lost.

   You must know that during World War I and World War II, the British mainland was only bombed by German aircraft, and the mainland was not occupied. All the scientific research and technical talents in the country were completely preserved.

  Most of today's technology is the product developed during World War II. The UK has enough accumulation in the field of high-end technology. The only thing lacking is to convert technology into practical products and apply it to the market that needs it.

  Sometimes, to measure the industrial level of a country, not only its economic strength, but also its scientific research and education level.

   As we all know, the reason why the United States is so advanced in science and technology mainly comes from the fact that there are many high-quality colleges and universities in the United States, whether public or private, many world famous schools are from the United States.

   The level of scientific research and education in the UK is the only country that can now be comparable to the United States. The United States has Harvard and Yale, and the United Kingdom has Oxbridge. In terms of talents, universities in the United Kingdom attract international students from all over the world every year.

   Especially the member countries of the Commonwealth of Nations, the international students of these countries, influenced by their parents, most of them choose the UK to study abroad.

  Britain was able to maintain a quarter of the world's colonies, and British education played an important role in it.

   A hundred-legged worm, dead but not stiff.

   After the United Kingdom was able to step down from its hegemony position, it did not quickly become A, B, C, and D. In the next 21st century, it can still have the confidence to withdraw from the European Union. It is not difficult to see that the strength of the United Kingdom is not as weak as everyone sees it.

   The British system that has been passed down for hundreds of years has undergone continuous improvement.

   The pros and cons of withdrawing from the EU are absolutely clear to everyone. Since it has been done, no matter what the reason is, it shows that the UK still has confidence in the next few decades.

  Britain has always been independent from the European continent in the early days, and has always been a bystander and initiator, staring at and interfering in the development of European countries.

  The United Kingdom has been able to maintain its independence for hundreds of years and stand out from the European countries. In addition to the superiority of the geographical ring, another one is its own strength.

   In modern times, the measure of a country's strength is mainly from two aspects of economy and industry.

   Needless to say the economy, although the United Kingdom has declined, its economy is still the top ten in the world, and its industrial technology is also the world leader.

  Since people took the initiative to bring them to the door, how could Yang Chen refuse.

   However, the necessary restraint is still required.

Spending money can't necessarily buy good things. The European and American countries in later generations have used their actions to teach the Chinese people a vivid education class. Yang Chen hopes that his money will be worth the money instead of spending a lot of money. Go and get back a pile of junk.

   Especially the core technology, without this stuff, he doesn't care who the other party is, these days, afraid that money can't buy good things?

   He is a businessman and has not yet reached such a high status involving national security. As far as technical reservations are concerned, he does not exist here.
