Chapter 182
Education is divided into liberal arts, science and engineering.
In Burkina, there are nearly 40,000 university students.
Most of them study engineering, and a few study science.
As for liberal arts?
Even including international students, the number does not exceed 100!
During a meeting.
Many officials were unimpressed.
Isn’t this bad?
If we want to develop industry, don’t we need engineering and science talents?
It doesn’t really matter if you have liberal arts or not.
for this kind of thinking.
Sankara made very severe criticisms at the meeting.
“If a country only has engineering and science subjects and completely abandons liberal arts, then this country will only become a fool with well-developed limbs!
Do you think liberal arts means writing articles? In fact, liberal arts include philosophy, management, economics, education, history, literature and art.
If you want to avoid being fooled into fools by some countries with ulterior motives in the future, and do things to destroy your own country, then you cannot underestimate the liberal arts!
We are currently just a compromise to the status quo, and are forced to give priority to engineering subjects, but in the future, all three subjects will be equally important!
Science can make our bones stronger, engineering can make our muscles stronger, and liberal arts can make our brains smarter!
If we want to build Burkina into a strong industrial country, all three are indispensable! Without any one of them, it’s just a paper tiger! ”
…
Burkina has invested so many resources in education, essentially to better build and develop industry.
How is Burkina’s industry developing now?
“Under the instructions of the president, our Ministry of Industry has issued many policies, invested a lot of money, and built many factories across the country. It can be said that the future development prospects are huge!”
This is the answer given by the spokesperson of the Ministry of Industry when faced with questions from reporters at the weekly press conference.
Presidential Palace, Office of the President.
Facing Sankara.
The Minister of Industry responded this way: “The most rapidly developing industry in our country is actually the textile industry in the light industry.”
for this answer.
Sankara was not surprised because this was the policy he had already set when he first went to the Ministry of Industry for a meeting.
Through the textile industry, a large number of low-quality labor is digested.
At the same time, thanks to France’s dominance in Central and North Africa, many countries in Africa controlled by France are growing cotton.
Even if Burkina does not grow cotton, it can still obtain a large amount of high-quality and cheap cotton from these countries through various means.
It’s just that France still doesn’t know that Burkina is harvesting their wool because no one told them.
What kind of good people could the rulers they supported be?
As long as they have money, apart from blatantly opposing France, what else can they not dare to do?
Now, it is just exporting hundreds of millions of cotton to Burkina!
Even if France knew about it and banned it, they would still quietly export some cotton to Burkina.
They’ll even be happier.
Because they can use this as an excuse to sell cotton more expensively!
In addition to giving priority to meeting domestic demand, the textile industrial products made in Burkina will also be exported to other surrounding countries in large quantities to earn North African CFA francs in their hands.
Due to the special nature of the North African CFA franc, there is a possibility of being harvested by France at any time, so Buginia will not keep the North African CFA franc in its hands for too long.
The Ministry of Foreign Trade will soon convert these North African CFA francs into cotton or other resources.
It is precisely because life in Burkina is getting better and better, coupled with policy support, and the ability to harvest French wool.
Therefore, the textile industry has become the fastest growing industry in Burkina.
certainly!
The rapid development of the textile industry is only measured relative to how much labor it absorbs and whether it can be self-sufficient.
If calculated based on overall assets, then it has to be the steel industry.
The Minister of Industry continued to answer: “According to the first five-year plan, our Ministry of Industry expanded the mine in the Atlas Mountains and increased the mining volume of iron ore to 180% of what it was when we first took over.
At the same time, we have also built three large-scale steel complexes in northwest states. Based on current data, it is estimated that our country’s steel production this year will reach about 1 million tons. ”
One million tons may sound like a lot.
after allIn a previous life, in an Eastern country under the rule of a certain transportation brigade captain, the maximum output was only 410,000 tons.
But in the same previous life, in an Eastern country, a city called Tangshan produced 120 million tons of steel a year.
Even this 120 million tons does not include the concealed production!
Sankara seriously suspected that this unreported output might be equivalent to a dozen or even dozens of Buginias!
To some extent, steel production can reflect a country’s industrial level, economic level and even comprehensive national strength!
France’s current steel production is measured in tens of millions of tons, about 30 million tons!
If calculated only in terms of steel production.
Burkina, with a land area of 711,000 square kilometers, is only one-thirtieth of France, with a land area of 549,000 square kilometers, in terms of comprehensive national strength.
But this is only for reference.
If data were everything!
Then France, which was full of confidence at the beginning, would not be able to lose to Buginia.
The Minister of Industry continued: “Then there is the military industry! With the assistance of the Soviet Union, we have initially established a relatively complete military industry system.
We can produce all weapons and equipment by ourselves except ships. However, due to restrictions in other supporting industries, in terms of heavy equipment, we can only produce relatively backward heavy equipment.
Especially air force equipment!
If we want to catch up with the world’s first-class level…if nothing else happens, according to the Department of Defense’s estimates, it may take us at least fifty to sixty years! ”
Fifty to sixty years?
Sankara knew it very well!
This is just a delusion of the Ministry of National Defense and a psychological comfort they give themselves.
Just like in the previous life, controllable nuclear fusion will always have to wait another fifty years!
If unforeseen circumstances did not happen, it would never be possible for Buginia to catch up with the world’s top players!
Because technology is always developing.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for Burkina to develop at a rate that can match that of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council.
but!
Who told me to have a plug-in?
Sankara believes that as long as the system gains continue to stack up like this, Buginia’s per capita “BUFF” will soar.
Don’t talk about waiting fifty or sixty years.
Maybe not for forty years.
Buginia’s military technology can catch up with the world’s mainstream level!
I really have to wait until fifty or sixty years later.
Burkina’s military technology will most likely surpass the three superpowers, China, the Soviet Union, and the United States.
Become the country with the most advanced military technology!
“Sixty years from now? That will be the year 3027. I will be almost 90 years old by then, and I don’t know if I will live until then.”
Sankara was suddenly worried.
The Minister of Industry thought that what Sankara was worried about was whether he would live to see Burkina’s military technology catch up with the world’s mainstream level.
What Sankara is actually worried about is——
Can you live to see Buginia become a superpower? Can you live to see Buginia step into the sea of stars?
