"… The working people know about mudslides. They know them better than we do. The only thing they don't understand is probably the word 'mudslide' that we wrote. At this time, should we let the people learn our words, or should we learn from the people humbly and learn the common words of the people? This is an important way to unite the people … "
Under the candlelight, Zhou Shuren flipped through the materials, adapting the documents of the Restoration Party during the Agrarian Revolution into words suitable for the situation in Hungary. After serving as deputy director and director of the Propaganda Department for four months, Zhou Shuren officially became the director of the Propaganda Department of the Hungarian Red Army.
This young cadre did not stay in the big city of Budapest. Instead, he started working with his comrades in the vast rural areas of Hungary. The consultant group that came to Hungary this time was a group of outstanding people in the army. They were basically between 173183 and 173183. To Zhou Shuren's satisfaction, the average height of men in Hungary was 163. Zhou Shuren, who had just broken through 163, could look at everyone at the same level.
After writing the latest work precautions, it was already 10: 30. Zhou Shuren stretched and was ready to sleep. Just then, someone ran to the door and knocked. Opening the door, the comrade outside said breathlessly, "Minister Zhou, a comrade is sick. Please go and have a look."
Zhou Shuren sighed. The Min dynasty strengthened the construction of the medical system in the last two five-year plans. Coupled with the large-scale migration of people from the mountains to the plains, the overall level of medical coverage was okay. But in Hungary, doctors were almost the same class as the lords. The poor could not afford to see a doctor. It was generally believed in the countryside that seeing a doctor could prepare for the funeral.
Zhou Shuren, who graduated from Nanjing Medical College, treated several patients with appendicitis at work. This famous doctor in China who could perform surgery immediately became famous. Whenever someone was sick, the first doctor that came to everyone's mind was this doctor. Zhou Shuren also reported to his superiors, hoping to get more doctors from China. The number of doctors in Hungary was too small. As for the lack of response from China, Zhou Shuren was not surprised. The number of doctors in China was not large.
In Berlin, William II rubbed his slightly sore eyes. The senior officials attending the meeting were almost the same. This group of people had been discussing the attitude of the Min dynasty for the whole afternoon and half the night, but they could not come to a conclusion.
"How many Chinese do you think there are in Hungary? Some say five thousand, some say ten thousand. " William II asked about the core contradiction of the meeting. "Is there no more definite number?"
All the upper echelons of Europe knew that the Min dynasty supported the Hungarian rebellion. Some of the upper echelons of Europe knew that the Min dynasty had opened a communication line in Osman Turkey and sent a large number of weapons to the Hungarian rebels through the border between Hungary and the Osman Empire. There was also a part of the European upper class who knew that some members of the Min dynasty had entered Hungary and were fighting together with those peasants and poor workers. In any case, the Hungarian bumpkins would not have been able to command the fluid, fluid, mobile warfare of two months ago.
Although the upper echelons of Europe knew a lot, they did not know the specific data. The head of the intelligence department of the German General Staff looked tired. He had suffered the most in such a long time. Upon hearing Emperor William II's question, the head of the intelligence department licked his chapped lips and replied, "Those China people haven't made any special moves, so it's hard to be sure. We will strengthen our intelligence gathering in this area. "
"Indeed, China hasn't made any diplomatic moves, and Hungary hasn't made any corresponding moves. It's very puzzling. "The Imperial Foreign Affairs Minister also found it hard to understand. If it were any other force that had made such a big fuss, they would have launched a full-scale diplomatic effort among the major forces. Even if the Min dynasty did not do so, Hungary should have launched a round of diplomatic efforts after defeating the Austrian army.
"What can those paupers know? They are probably still counting their money now." The Imperial Prime Minister sneered and described the consensus of the German upper class, which caused a few dry laughs. "Our military budget is very tight now. Even if we send troops, we can't send many people. Your Majesty, since those Hungarians haven't made any big moves, and China hasn't sent troops into Hungary, we might as well see Austria's reaction first. "
The Prime Minister's "lack of money" hit the key point of all the problems. A large army needed to be paid, equipped with weapons and ammunition, and daily training. Therefore, every soldier had to spend a considerable amount of military funds. Letting these soldiers die for other countries was not a worthwhile thing to do. The economic crisis lasted for two years, and the landlords had no surplus food. Everyone felt that the discussion had reached a point where there was no more discussion. Everyone looked at the Emperor. Although William II wanted to talk for a while more, he was not stupid. When he saw everyone's eager eyes, the Emperor had to say regretfully, "Today's meeting will end here."
The days passed, first in Italy, then in France, and then in Northern Europe. More and more opinions appeared in the newspapers. They said that the Hungarian rebels were uncultured, unknowledgeable, and uninformed. Especially uninformed. The country was such a complicated system. How could a group of paupers complete such a job? Letting them rule the country was like giving a monkey an expensive pocket watch. It would not take long for the country to collapse due to the lack of social operation ability.
Such comments were full of extreme contempt for the Hungarian Slovak People's Republic. The upper class of each country was well aware of the difficulty of running a country. In this moment of social problems caused by the economic crisis, the upper class had a considerable degree of resonance with such remarks. The big men tried their best but still could not make the country run stably. How could a group of paupers be more capable than the big men?
There were also people who were dissatisfied with such criticism. Basically, they were poor people with the same status as the Hungarian peasants. No matter how dissatisfied they were, they had no channel to speak out. How could the mainstream media pay attention to these poor people? There were all kinds of articles ridiculing the Hungarian rebels, and the timetable of Hungary's collapse was posted one after another. All the media seemed to have turned into fortune-tellers who could predict the future.
The rich and knowledgeable in Europe could laugh at the ignorant Hungarian peasants, but they only laughed at Hungary for not being able to solve their own problems. The economic crisis showed no signs of improvement. Even Wang Mingshan was surprised.
Hungary had the middle Danube Plain and was one of Europe's food suppliers. Even though there was a war in this area, it still could not save the low European food prices. If it was only the European food prices, it would not be a big deal. According to the insurance claims collected by Wang Mingshan, even the price of industrial products in Germany was falling. German small and medium-sized enterprises relied on joining the monopoly organizations of cartels and syndicates to survive. Under the economic crisis, these monopoly organizations could continue to lower the price of products, which really made Wang Mingshan feel that the capitalist system was really amazing. In the Min dynasty, these enterprises would either run their own course or be closed down for reorganization. The economy of the Min dynasty was the word "progress," and the laggards were eliminated without hesitation.
It took Wang Mingshan three months to write the latest issue of the European Economic Report, which was the third issue in 1899. After he finished writing, it was October. Although the Min dynasty itself had no special interest in the European calendar, Cyprus was still very happy to see that it would enter the 20th century in three months.
In 1900, the Min dynasty was going to host the Olympic Games, and the whole country was very concerned about it. In the past 45 years, when it came to foreigners, the real attitude of the Min dynasty was the word "beat". On the surface, it did not matter whether they were polite or not. These foreigners only had two choices: being beaten by the Min dynasty sooner or being beaten by the Min dynasty later. There was no possibility of not being beaten.
This Olympic Games was probably the first time that the Min dynasty really treated foreigners with a peaceful attitude. At least the Military Governor Vaize said, "In this global village, everyone will be good neighbors who coexist peacefully in the future." Wang Mingshan was very impressed by the Commander in Chief's thick skin and mushy words. He had some doubts that when the Cyprus Bank of Europe's survey report for the third quarter of 1899 was sent to the Governor, the Governor would feel very uneasy about next year's Olympic Games. And Wang Mingshan himself was a little uneasy. When the Bank of Europe was first established, everyone thought that the bank would make a lot of money in Europe. In fact, in order to avoid losses, the Bank of Europe had reduced a lot of business in the past few years. The island of Cyprus, which was once thought to be likely to make a lot of money, was now more like a tourism-based area.
When the report was sent to Vézé, he read it carefully. Perhaps it was because during Vézé's childhood, when he had no interest in economics, the new China had destroyed the industries of too many countries around the world, so the economic crisis of the 21st century did not seem to be so fierce. At most, the United States collapsed Lehman Brothers, and some American real estate speculators suffered a lot of losses. Now reading the description of the European economic crisis with his own eyes, Vézé felt that it was an eye-opener.
The United Kingdom was hardly affected by the economic crisis in the process of transforming into a North American country, or the British themselves were the culprits of the economic crisis. The island of Great Britain, including Scotland and Ireland, originally had a population of 40 million, but now there were only about 25 million left. The poor and the poor basically ran to North America to start a new life, and even well-off families began to move to North America.
The rapid northward beautification caused the British population to soar from 40 million to 55 million. In addition to the original millions of people in Canada becoming the British population, the former northeast region of the United States, which was incorporated into the United Kingdom, brought millions of people to the British. More importantly, in a few years, the poor and the poor gave birth to more than 7 million babies.
This increase in population did not give European companies the slightest benefit. Not only that, the rest of the British people were well-off and above. They had a great demand for high-quality products and basically only bought products from British companies. The British who needed cost-effective products bought British products from North America. Although the United Kingdom did not change its free trade policy on the surface, in reality, Europe lost the British market.
Germany's cheap industrial products, Russia and France's grain, and Spain's fruit were all greatly affected. The United Kingdom was Europe's largest consumer market and was irreplaceable. The domestic demand of other European countries was limited, and the lack of a market meant that their products could only rot in the ground or collect dust in the warehouse.
Looking at the description of the unemployed who could only find food in the garbage, Vézé felt that Europe was really a group of slaves. In China, in such a situation, there would have been a rebellion. Wang Mingshan's description also made another problem clear. Why didn't they collect the food that no one bought and distribute it to the poor? It turned out that in the eyes of the European government, any action was a business. The government couldn't do anything about the apples rotting on the branches and no one picking them. Transporting apples into the city to distribute to the poor would affect the business of selling apples, and they would have to pay taxes after passing through the government checkpoint. If it was only a little effort, doing a good deed would be fine. If doing a good deed required money, no one would be willing to do it.
As for wanting the government to do such a thing, it was Vézé's ignorance when he was young. The European government had a variety of options to exploit and suppress the people, but there was no option to provide social relief.
