It's hard for people to be creative under pressure. Half the work in management of software companies is managing employee stress so they can do their work efficiently. My point is precisely that to get creativeness, you have to create right environment and that environment leads the way to less authoritarian rule.

That's true, but if they throw enough people at it (they have plenty), something eventually will come up...
Probably the result for them will be having a group of engineers that can be creative under extreme pressure and since they struggle with over-population, the loss of engineers and their families which couldn't keep up would have some positives for them as well.

How is it then, that inventions seem to accelerate during times of war? WWII alone saw the invention of, or massive improvements to rocketry, the jet engine, cruise missiles, Radar, and the Atomic bomb
They don't, it just seems that way because everything that can be used for war is used. There's a mad rush to productize existing inventions.
People tend to focus on wars during discussions about history so their time periods are overemphasized.
