"In just two months, when Dongguo decided to enter the market, the entire water world changed."
In terms of international politics and military affairs, Dongguo is an exception among the powerful countries on earth. Unlike those countries that make big noises but little rain, they usually only do things but don't talk about them.
"We don't need publicity, at least, not until we succeed."
In a sense, this is determined by their system, because many Western countries, such as Citigroup, have a vote-based politics. They need merit and prestige in exchange for votes. Therefore, many important strategic decisions look absurd and short-sighted in retrospect.
His decision-making was so normal that many of his successors even spent more than half of their term just to overturn the greatest historical achievement of taking office.
The advantages and disadvantages of the political system are not discussed here. It is just a relatively stable political power and development strategy. In terms of long-term development and layout, the advantages are too obvious.
The development of the Nirvana era has further amplified this reality. When Western countries develop a world, major companies often rush in, private individuals and small teams keep up, with complete free competition and complete market fighting.
Sounds good? When rations are sold at sky-high prices and common drugs are charged directly by micrograms, no matter how much small and medium-sized teams make, they are still working in vain for the big sharks.
In the end, it is still winner-take-all. If "healthy competition promotes development" cannot be regulated, 99% of it will evolve into "monopolists eat everything", and one or several large groups will become the reapers of benefits.
.
This is only part of it. The most fatal thing is that infrastructure, diplomacy, communication with local residents, exploration of local resources and other tasks that have no short-term results are either not done at all, or they are just false stories and just fooled around.
Even in order to earn enough profit income, some large companies will even directly provoke conflicts among local indigenous people and make them fall into vendetta to obtain more resources, slaves and land.
"Although they have a bad reputation, those natives are unlikely to leave their world, so it's okay for them to be a little worse."
From the perspective of Dongguo's development decision-makers, this seems too short-sighted.
Rather than blackmailing the villages of primitive society, the Eastern Kingdom hoped for a longer-term and more valuable "trading channel". The short-term exploitation of those colonies was destined to rebel due to the growth of the colonies, and the suzerain country became an enemy.
In order to suppress their resistance, they must also suppress their growth, and ultimately squeeze the primitive society. The feudal society can make a few profits, but the benefits will naturally become less and less.
The Eastern Kingdom hopes for more valuable "allies" or "joint partners", rather than slaves with no strength and no future. The pure materials and resources of the other world have little value.
Technology, deeply processed products, especially the extraordinary "rules" and "principles of the world", as well as the "high-level combat power" that can be cultivated in other worlds are more valuable.
Times have changed. Pure exploitation of materials and people may not even compare to shipping costs.
"Low-level arms, food and daily necessities, they really plan to run it for a long time."
The official control of these things is not to do anything, but to prevent some people from losing their minds and doing something messy.
Today's new world is the real "Qing Dynasty". There are powerful enemies invading from outside, and warlords are dividing the family. The only people the nominal "government" can direct and move are its own direct descendants.
Under such a general environment, since Dongguo officials decided to invest heavily, they would not entrust their lifeline to the church or the local government.
In a sense, Lu Ping'an is probably the one who best understands Dongguo's approach. This is an advantage brought by the vision of two eras. What's more, Lu Ping'an and his rebirth business group are emerging forces that travel lightly.
, there is no such high revenue pressure, and we will not fight with the boss for some profit.
"Brother, you are a bit cruel. Are you really not afraid of getting beaten?"
Some of the big guys in Lin Nu's church have turned around due to the disaster. It is unrealistic to ask them to give up their share.
Lu Ping'an didn't even try to persuade them. If astronomical figures of interest were involved, trying to persuade them would only offend them.
At this moment, Lu Ping'an also felt that Dongguo was in trouble. If it involved even the slightest interest, it would cause internal chaos. On the other hand, these big bosses of the Zhengshen Church were responsible for their own profits and losses and did not pay their salaries. They always gave priority to their own interests.
Lu Ping An did not try to interfere
"Let the official people take care of such troublesome matters."
Lu Ping'an made a small report to let the people there pay attention to the fact that he was quite rational. Although he was already a high-ranking member of Lin Nu Church in name, his essence was always an official transcendent from the Eastern Kingdom.
Foolish loyalty, which seems to be at the expense of one's own interests, is actually a way of looking at the long term. According to the Dongguo official way of doing things, someone who has demonstrated strategic value can gain everything as long as he continues to be "loyal".
"It's really interesting."
Lu Ping An's "report" and "loyalty" received a response within two days.
A military order for underwater lanterns (Lamp Grass) was sent over, along with a professional team consisting of several law-level gardeners and a dozen curse-level gardeners, who would help Lu Pingping complete his plan.
The former is a long-term benefit, while the latter is a gift that Lu Ping'an cannot refuse.
"It turns out that he is a professor from Wanjing University and Jingyan Academy."
There are certain things and resources that only the government can provide.
Lu Ping'an has made rapid progress, but there are still some shortcomings above the main path. Regardless of the professors who have been specially transferred, the teaching assistants are nothing in terms of strength and level. In the actual academic field, they are all domestic
Well-known experts and scholars.
They are somewhat similar to Professor Wen back then. They were both botanists first and then extraordinary gardeners. Their academic accumulation and research methods far exceeded their level.
What Lu Pingan needs most is this "knowledge" and the "research methods" to obtain knowledge.
"Academic institutions in Wangjing are also willing to cooperate with you"
Seeing the friendly and even humble expressions of the "experts" in front of him, Lu Ping'an was a little surprised.
Unknowingly, Lu Ping'an seemed to have become a real behemoth. Even within the entire Dongguo's circle of influence, Lu Ping'an could be called a "high-level force".
Lu Ping'an did not refuse, nor did he put on a high profile. On the contrary, he took on the attitude of a disciple, and even took the initiative to mention his famous thesis.
In terms of research on magic plants, Lu Ping'an may not have enough accumulation, but he really has no shortage of achievements. His quick magic plant and its module composition serve as an accelerating cheating device in terms of research and development.
But now, what Lu needs most is someone to guide him on how to use this "cheating device" so that he can get the results he wants as soon as possible.
Dongguo officials not only sent great gifts and attitude, but also hoped to see the "results" of Lu Ping An as soon as possible.
Lamp trees, lantern flowers, and signal tower networks have become part of the entire world's infrastructure. At the same time, its weapon pool is also part of the official big order.
"The first project team is mainly about the underwater lantern series. Even with the blessing of seeing things underwater (the ability has its limits), we still need a lot of underwater lighting."
After the communication, the research team started working directly.
The underwater lantern is very important in this world, but in the otherworldly water world where divine grace is unlikely to be effective, it is even more of a strategic device like a lifeline.
Counterattack in the grand strategy requires good logistical equipment. I am afraid that these underwater lanterns must not only be usable in this world, but also reach the level of universal use in the multiverse, which requires a large number of effectiveness tests.
"The second project team, the research goal is heating, we need a portable 'hand warmer', which is very fatal in the low temperature environment of deep water."
Before the war started, logistics and research and development took precedence. After receiving the certificate of investment, Lu Pingan was further integrated into the military industry system of the East.
And handing over this large national-level project to him also means that Dongguo regards him as one of its own, and this is destined to be a long-term large order at the national military level.
Even if you are just making lamps, this is an astronomical profit, not to mention that the potential of lamps is definitely more than that.
Of course, Lu Ping'an was not that honest. Now that he had a group of powerful R&D personnel on hand, he naturally handed over to them some of the difficulties that were stuck in his evolution path.
"The fifth project team, the research focus is 'oak chess pieces'"
