"There are 77 provinces in the Min dynasty. Although each province has its own characteristics and needs specific analysis, we have 365 days a year and 24 hours a day. On average, we can only spend five days on each province. President Shen, do you think we can figure out all the problems of the entire province in five days? "Wang Haiyang's tone was flat, but his words were very sharp.
Regardless of Wang Haiyang's attitude, Shen Xin adopted a stance of not changing and went straight to the point. "What does this have to do with the North American military industry?"
Wang Haiyang continued to say bluntly, "The existing supporting parts in North America can already complete the work outside of the engine. It will take more than a year or even two to expect to immediately complete a military-grade factory in North America. The engine can be transported by ship to the window factory in North America, which can be completed in more than a month. North America does have a lot of problems, but they can be solved in three or four months. They can better supervise the assembly part. Exquisite manufacturing and exquisite assembly, this is a good way to improve military equipment. "
Shen Xin was very unhappy in his heart, but his face was very calm. "Improving the industrial level of North America is also a way to solve the problem."
As the head of the bureaucracy, Wang Haiyang explained to Shen Xin in an extremely bureaucratic tone, "We have no money. We have been relying entirely on the overissuance of banknotes these years. The price of agricultural products is extremely low. In order to maintain the supply of the Asian part, we have continued to transport food and meat from the old North American six provinces to Asia during the war. The commander-in-chief developed the alfalfa in East Africa and transported two to three million tons of dry alfalfa to Asia a year. It was not easy to maintain the meat supply. After the two major industries of electric motors and internal combustion engines were developed, the total number of workers increased a lot. Workers' wages were supported by war orders. We have overissued too much money over the years. There has been no inflation because too much land has been seized. With the commander-in-chief in charge, everyone is very confident in the future of the Min dynasty. What we have to do now is to operate well for a few years and let society digest the overissued banknotes. It's not that North America is not allowed to engage in industry, but now we have no money to invest in North America, and blind investment is very harmful. "
Listening to Wang Haiyang's lengthy explanation, Shen Xin felt that he actually knew most of the content, but his understanding was not as thorough as Wang Haiyang's. He turned to look at Vézé, only to find that Vézé was listening calmly. It was obvious that Vézé had no opinion on Wang Haiyang's argument. Now, Shen Xin suspected that Wang Haiyang was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. But at this time, he couldn't care so much. Since no one expressed strong support for Shen Xin, this problem could only be ignored. If Shen Xin insisted on going head-on, he would only encounter more difficulties.
When the atmosphere turned cold, the foreign minister began to talk about the attitudes of the European countries in a very natural manner. Shen Xin calmed down. In a sense, this could be considered as saving the situation.
After introducing the positions of France and Russia, and focusing on the position of the United Kingdom, the foreign minister concluded, "We don't know what the British want to do, but overall, they have a deep fear of our Foundation for Democracy."
After this explanation, the members of the Standing Committee couldn't help but think of the discussion about peace policy by the Military Governor Vaize a few days ago. Then the foreign minister continued to ask, "There have been many economic crises in Europe. If the economic crisis leads to war, will there be a war between Germany and France this time? After all, everyone thinks that Germany and France will definitely fight. "
Vézé could see that the foreign minister was covering for Shen Xin. Otherwise, he would not have raised such a childish question. The war between Germany and France had never been the main contradiction in Europe. Whether it was World War I or World War II, the contradiction between Germany and France was not the root cause of the war. Before World War I, Europe experienced several crises for about a decade. Before World War II, there were several economic crises that lasted for a decade, including the Great Depression. When the crisis had developed to the point that it could not be helped for several consecutive years, the war broke out.
In order to stop such a silly question from continuing, Vézé just said "wait and see" and let the meeting move on to the next topic. A few days later, at the end of January 1898, Wang Mingshan received a notice. In addition to informing him of the intelligence obtained in the country, there was also the highest instruction to "wait and see". Along with the letter was an appointment and dismissal document. Wang Mingshan was removed from his position as the military governor and party secretary of the East African administrative region. He was officially appointed as the Cyprus party secretary.
Wang Mingshan had always felt that being the party secretary of the East African administrative region was a burden to him. However, after being removed from this position, Wang Mingshan still felt a sense of loss. After spending two days to adjust his mood, he quickly recovered. Then, Wang Mingshan held a general meeting of the Bank of Europe according to the plan.
The participants were all present because the Bank of Europe was strongly boycotted in Europe. Needless to say about the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the European monarchies were very dissatisfied with the Democracy Foundation of the Min dynasty, so they strongly boycotted the Bank of Europe. As for the non-monarchies of France, their anti-monarchy sentiment was no less than that of the monarchies. Because France was a republic, they were far better than the monarchies in public. Judging from their voices, France's hatred for the monarchy seemed to be ten times more than that of the monarchies.
Therefore, in the beautiful Cyprus, thousands of Bank of Europe branch staff gathered with the staff of the head office. Every day, everyone would have meetings, discuss, eat, drink, and relax. As the saying goes, the more the truth is debated, the clearer it becomes. From the frontline observation of Europe, the European countries, except for the United Kingdom, have been blocked on the European continent. Just like the poisonous insects sealed in an isolated space, the upper class of Europe probably have no other way to maintain their own survival except to eat each other in the starvation.
Compared to the winter in Cyprus, the winter in Hungary was extremely cold. Large snowflakes fell from the sky, and the ground was covered with thick snow. In the heavy snow, a large number of prisoners were brought to the wall. There were men and women among them, wearing extremely thin clothes, and all of them were beaten to the point of injury. There were no prayers, no last words of comfort. The executioners shot them down a few times, and then went up to shoot them in the heart. After killing these people, some Jewish prisoners came to drag the bodies away to make room for the next wave of executions.
February was the month of execution in ancient Rome, and it was said that an emperor tried to shorten the month as much as possible. The Hungarian government's level of education may not have known this story, but they coincidentally began to execute the 'Monarchies' in February. The reason why the Jews were arrested was also 'Monarchies', but they were only used to clean up the mess.
The mass execution took place in the newly built prison in Budapest, which was dedicated to the 'Monarchies'. Behind the prison was a large courtyard, and the courtyard wall was made of two brick walls filled with thick soil, wide and strong. This courtyard was built by the 'Monarchies' who were arrested. The builders were not pardoned, and all of them were shot under the wall.
When the Jews came to drag the bodies, there were some scratches of different depths on the wall. The most common words were, 'The nobles never eliminate poverty, they only eliminate the poor.' Layers of dried blood stains made these words seem as if they were surrounded by balls of black and red flames.
In Buda Castle, the real masters of the country approved the execution order with great enthusiasm. In addition to approving the execution of the 'Monarchies', another important task was to approve the executions of the aristocratic landlords' militia. The documents were stamped with the official seal of the Kingdom of Hungary, confirming that they had gone through the legal procedures. Since Queen Sissi of Hungary did not agree to publish a public statement calling for the 'Monarchies' to be killed, her value plummeted. The Queen knew what was good for her and left the icy Hungary early for the warm Italian resort.
"A total of 15327 'Monarchies' were executed, of which 4,129 were arrested and executed in the cities, and 11198 in the countryside." The clerk put a list in front of the Minister of Justice for his approval.
The Minister of Justice frowned and looked at the noble representatives in the parliament. The noble leader's expression did not change at all. Like many nobles, his family also got a lot of votes from this execution. Many of the 'Monarchies' who were executed in the countryside were killed because the nobles were interested in their land, or just because they had beautiful wives.
There was no way to talk about this kind of thing that both sides knew. Although the Minister of Justice had never learned the term 'class position', he was very clear that the ruling class had to unite at a time when the poor stood up against the ruling class. Even if he did not like the way the nobles acted, this was not the time to offend their brothers in the same class for the poor.
Therefore, the Minister of Justice wrote his name with a beautiful quill and stamped it with the official seal. The document was approved. Whether it was the poor workers who were killed in the cities or the poor peasants who were killed in the countryside, they all had the unified character of 'Monarchies'.
In March 1898, spring began to slowly come, and the 'Monarchies' who had been dormant for a whole winter began to become active again. The saying 'As long as you are poor, you will be considered a Monarch' began to spread among the workers in the cities and the peasants in the countryside. There were workers who were shot to death in every city, and peasants who were executed as Monarchies in every village. No matter what crime the officials or nobles had given these people, they were all poor without exception.
