Chapter 354(2/2)
These days, people in Berlin are in panic.
How do they prevent such an attack? Berlin is like this, let alone the occupying forces.
I heard that the French underground resistance organization has formulated a series of attack plans.
The same goes for the Austrians, who even planned to blow up the Frankfurt Building." Li Xiao took a puff of his cigar and puffed out a puff of smoke.
In fact, all these things have the support of Ming Dynasty.
Even the high explosives they used were provided by Daming.
Among the targets to be attacked below are factories, hospitals, and even civilian facilities such as schools.
The purpose is to cause panic in Germany!
Then there is the continuous destruction of German factories, which can cause German factories to reduce production or even stop production.
In this way, the already cheap Daming goods became the only source of supplies for the German war zone and German residents.
There are some things that you can buy or not buy, but the necessities of life such as cloth and food must belong to the Ming Dynasty.
Especially Ming Dynasty's cheap cotton cloth had a disastrous impact on the German market.
The price is cheap and the quantity is plentiful. No matter how much you want, as long as you can eat it, it will always be in stock.
Under the impact of the Ming Dynasty, many factories in Germany that were still in the early stage fell into the predicament of bankruptcy.
Many German industrial workers can only receive barely Hukou wages, and they are still precarious.
If it were not for the continuous exploitation of resources in the occupied areas and filling the holes in Germany, I am afraid that Germany would have collapsed long ago.
However, the wool in the occupied areas is not so easy to harvest, and heavy taxes are an important reason for the rise and fall of resistance movements.
This is a vicious circle. If you want domestic stability, you must harvest the wool of the occupied areas.
Harvesting wool from occupied areas will arouse resistance from the local people.
If the local people resist, more forces must be deployed to suppress them.
To increase the strength of suppression, more people from the country must be recruited to join the army.
The more people in the country join the military, the more military expenditures will be. The more military expenditures, the heavier the burden will be on the country and the more difficult it will be for economic development.
The more difficult economic development becomes, the more it must rely on plundering from occupied areas.
After one set of cycles, Germany has entered a vicious cycle that is intertwined with each other.
To get out of this cycle requires great wisdom. I wonder if the head of state has such ability.
Li Xiao doesn't need to be overly aggressive now. Ming Dynasty only needs to accumulate strength first, and then watch Germany weaken in a vicious circle.
As long as Germany becomes weak, just give the house a slight push and the whole nice-looking house will collapse.
This is much better than launching a direct attack on Germany with hard bridges and hard horses, and the price paid is much less.
Mr. Ao left happily, probably looking for someone to discuss the formation of a Guangxi delegation.
If the Guangxi regiment performs well, it is very likely that he will ask Li Xiao to form a Guangxi division next time.
Although the war is over, the Ming Dynasty is still preparing for war. Whether it is the increasing Ming fleet in the Atlantic Ocean or the increasing Ming garrison in the Mediterranean.
However, in China, the draft has begun to slow down. Some disabled soldiers, as well as soldiers who are unwilling to continue fighting and want to retire, are being withdrawn from Europe and returned to China.
After being stationed in the country for a period of time and completing their service years, what awaits them is retirement.
The Ming Dynasty's army will not force those who are unwilling to continue fighting to remain in the ranks. In most cases, as long as you reach the end of your service period and you are willing to retire, the army will pay you military pay and send you home.
There is also a good place to go home. Officers enter the yamen at all levels. Soldiers generally enter factories. Even soldiers in the countryside will receive a series of local care.
Besides, after three years of fighting, military pay on the battlefield was relatively generous. And since there was no place to spend money, everyone basically had savings.
As long as I don't mess around, I will be a small wealthy family when I return to my hometown.
