The 1896 Olympics left behind many videos and videos, and the Republic of China was not stingy as an open investor. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoEven if the Western and Nordic countries are closer to Greece, athletes have to pay out of their own pockets, at least for the journey. Those countries that did not have money enjoyed the transoceanic transportation provided by the Minchao Dynasty.

Because of the strong protest from South American and Caribbean countries, the U.S. delegation did not appear at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games or on the field. In addition, the delegations of the feuding countries gathered under the five rings of the Olympic Games. In the tradition of the ancient Olympic Games, the Olympic Committee sent a telegram to the countries asking them to put an end to all acts of war during this event.

As a representative of China, Wang Mingshan delivered a wonderful speech of 'faster, higher, stronger', which gave a new meaning to the modern Olympic movement after reviewing the history of the ancient Olympic Games. For a time, Europe had a higher evaluation of the Minchao, at least these people agreed that the Minchao was a highly civilized country. On this earth, it is also the norm for highly civilized countries to kill all sides.

After the Olympics, the Republic of China won the gold medal, and the British Empire won the first medal by two points. This made the sports circles of the Republic of China have to admit that the British, the world hegemon for hundreds of years, is by no means in vain.

A sports event attracts a lot of attention, but it fails to solve the economic problems of the countries. The rate of British immigration to North America has not slowed, and the absolute population of the island of Great Britain has decreased, while the sales of grains, meat, fish, and a large number of cheap food products in North America have increased to the island of Great Britain. Britain has been the largest buyer of European grain, and after a year of saturation of this market, low European food prices continue to ferment.

The Republic of China had its own views on inflation, and there have been many vicious inflations caused by the indiscriminate issuance of paper money in Chinese history since the Song Dynasty issued paper money. In the era of metal money, the problem of various coinage was also acute. But that's mostly inflation, and now Europe is likely to face deflation. Wang Mingshan already has a strong desire to see the excitement in his heart. Governor Wezedu said that high-speed inflation will inevitably lead to social unrest, and deflation is no less lethal to the economy than high-speed inflation. The Min Dynasty had never encountered any deflation problems in these years, and Wang Mingshan made a lot of preparations, hoping to write an excellent paper on deflation, and he even hoped to open up a research direction in the field of economics.

Not long after the Olympics, Hungary entered the autumn harvest. The ultra-low food prices have directly triggered a commotion in many rural areas. Wang Mingshan's magnum opus draft reads, "...... The peasants, who had to repay all kinds of loans and even usury, sold their grain at ultra-low prices with broken hearts, but even if they sold all the grain, they could not repay their debts. The usurers, the tax collectors, the landlords, the nobles, the church, like vultures hovering over the heads of dying animals, keep an eye on their prey, and while they feast on the dead prey to their heart's content, they are ready to peck at the flesh of the next round of the dead......"

On September 19, 1896, a young man finally had the opportunity to sit in front of Wang Mingshan. If you want to meet with the head of the Democracy Foundation, you have to go through a considerable degree of testing.

"We need weapons to resist the tyranny." The young man said bluntly.

Wang Mingshan didn't answer immediately, this young man looked less than 20 years old, with the handsome face of an ancient Greek statue. And those light blue eyes with sadness and perseverance in their vigor are something that the statue cannot reflect in any way.

"Can you give it to us?" The young man saw that Wang Mingshan was silent, and asked again.

"What are you going to resist against after taking these weapons?" Wang Mingshan asked. Although he wanted to support the radicals before him, Wang Mingshan did not see from those people what the Liberation Party looked like when it rebelled. Injustice is loud, and opposition can easily arise. But what about the opposition, after stepping on the journey of blood, can there really be a future full of flowers?

The young man replied cheerfully: "We have heard that the peasants of the Min Dynasty do not pay taxes. Hungary has a land area of 200,000 square kilometers and a population of 20 million. Excluding the urban population, there is at least one hectare of land per capita. I hope that the time will come as soon as possible when all land will be owned by the people, and that my comrades and I will fight against the enemy who will prevent the coming of this new world. ”

"How many of you are there?" Wang Mingshan continued to ask.

"400 ......, now there are just over 360 people. I hope you can provide 400 guns. At the mention of the number, the young man's face showed some sadness.

"Some people have broken away?" Wang Mingshan asked.

The young man shook his head, "They have already sacrificed. ”

Seeing Wang Mingshan's silent appearance, the young man straightened his waist, "Your Excellency, we will die in battle, but we will fight to the last breath for our ideals." The worn-out weapons cost us too many comrades who could have survived. I would like to ask for your support here so that we can fight for a longer time. ”

The young man whom Wang Mingshan received as an 'ordinary worker', judging from this level, the young Hungarian revolutionary seemed to be worried that the Republic of China would not be able to give those weapons. Wang Mingshan's face was expressionless, after the North American War, the Republic of China eliminated millions of light weapons. The Ottoman Turkish Empire, which borders Hungary, has all been restocked with old Chinese weapons, and in order to avoid trouble, the weapons sent to Cyprus for stockpile this time are also old. So Wang Mingshan only said, "You can rest assured about weapons." ”

The young people looked much more relaxed when they saw that the purpose of the trip had been achieved. The two sides talked about their views on the Hungarian revolution for a while, and the attitude of the young people was rather confused. He was also exposed to a lot of revolutionary propaganda and knew the political system of the Minchao. Unlike Wang Mingshan and the members of the Liberation Party, Hungary did not have a leader like Weze, and everyone did not have a good understanding of the revolution. After the young people left, Wang Mingshan wrote in his report: "The Hungarian revolution lacked a leading group to understand the revolution from the perspective of the state, let alone a revolutionary leader with great appeal. The Hungarian Revolution, lacking a core, was more based on a rebellion against the brutal oppression of the old era, so there was a strong sense of individual spontaneity and insufficient organizational discipline......

In January 1897, Wang Mingshan learned that the young man had risen to fame after several months of fierce fighting. The young man may have been a man of great musical talent, or perhaps he had such a talent in his ranks, and a native Hungarian ballad soon spread: 'The nobles never thought about eradicating poverty, they always only kill the poor.' ’

The so-called tree made a big move, and the team led by the youth was immediately surrounded and suppressed by the Hungarian regular army and the militia group. The troops were scattered, and the young man was captured while covering the retreat of his comrades. Naturally, such a bandit was going to be executed in public with great fanfare, and the young man, facing death, shouted to the crowd of onlookers: "The nobles have never thought about eradicating poverty, they will always kill the poor." Hungarian people, rise up and fight for yourselves! ”

The Endowment for Democracy had already begun to develop a certain number of personnel in the middle and lower echelons of the Hungarian army, and from the bail requests transmitted by these personnel, the behavior of the Hungarian revolutionaries during the public executions led to a new decision from the upper echelons: 'All the revolutionaries who are caught in the future will be executed summarily or privately, and only the pictures of these people after their executions will be released to the public'. In addition, the 'Chinese Revolutionary Song', which was renamed 'The Internationale', and the young man's 'Poor Unite', were publicly banned and those who sang them were designated as 'mobs' and faced prison and fines.

This news made Wang Mingshan feel that something was wrong, and the Hungarian Revolutionary Party still had a kind of unconfident attitude before, which made Wang Mingshan feel that he was 'Adou who couldn't be helped'. Unexpectedly, this group of inexperienced revolutionaries had been making trouble for more than a year, and the panic among the Hungarian upper echelons was even greater than that of the revolutionaries.

Deflation leads to a contraction of wages in society as a whole, and prices are getting cheaper and cheaper, not on the basis of an increase in production efficiency, but on the basis of a lower and lower cost of production. It is generally believed that workers' wages will increase substantially due to the decrease in prices caused by deflation, but in reality, the decline in commodity prices will lead to a decrease in capital profits. Therefore, on the capital side, wages have to be lowered, and even work has to be stopped. Because some production costs are not immediately reduced, production even has the problem of losing money. Even if you look at mild deflation, the effect is stronger than ordinary high inflation......

Wang Mingshan spent a lot of effort investigating deflation, which made him full of interest in deflation.

The fundamental cause of the economic crisis of the capitalist system is that the surplus value is taken away, and the deflationary situation makes the surplus value even less, and the contradiction between the capital and the labor side is also stronger. The less surplus value, the less money the people have to spend. If there is no money to consume, let the surplus value be less. Austria-Hungary had no colonies, Hungary had no opportunity to expand its market, and its small market led to a crisis rapidly forming......

In March 1897, it was not the grain that had been in the doldrums for a long time, but the timber industry, which was the largest exporter of Northern Europe, was the first to collapse. Hungary is just one of many countries affected by deflation, and no matter how cheap food is, it is also a valuable commodity with relatively stable demand. The contraction in production caused by deflation has greatly curbed production investment, no one needs to build factories, let alone new houses, and the demand for wood has plummeted. The Nordic countries are vast and sparsely populated, and trees can grow again after being cut down, which is a recyclable resource. In the face of the demand for foreign exchange, they took the lead in starting the first shot of the trade war, using super-cheap wood to obtain foreign exchange as much as possible.

In July 1897, more than a dozen major industries in various European countries entered into a fierce price-cutting competition. Uncle En was lying in the hospital in London, quietly looking out the window at the sky. The weather in London is generally good during this season, and this year's weather is much better than usual.

London's absolute population is decreasing, and the proportion of people in other cities is decreasing faster than in other cities. In some small towns, except for the old people and the nobles and landlords, everyone else has gone clean. At a time when North America can rent a lot of land from the state, people who have no money are choosing to leave. Land means wealth in the British concept, and when you arrive in North America, you can have wealth, which is now the fastest way to 'get rich' in Britain.

There was a letter in Uncle En's hand, in which Wang Mingshan wrote a letter from Uncle En, asking Uncle En's comments on the deflation this time. In the recent trade war that has been in full swing, the industries involved are all 'renewable' industries without exception. Trees will grow on their own, and so will labor. Lower wages, lay off workers, increase working hours and labor intensity. The capitalists are fighting their peers with the spirit of 'even if the flood is monstrous after I die'.

Uncle En's smart brain also considered this problem, and he felt that Wang Mingshan's honesty was far less than his politeness. This crisis is undoubtedly a crisis that arose after the size of the entire European market was determined, and the renminbi of the Republic of China was legal tender, and the Europeans were extremely resistant to this currency without reserves, and the Republic of China itself had no intention of changing the model. Then the market of the Republic of China was closed to European countries, and the Republic of China not only did not tend to Europe in terms of procurement, but also did not open up to European countries to invest in the industries of the Republic of China. In the past, the United States had raised a lot of money from Europe, and the European side had made appeasement gains by investing in stocks. Everything is now completely cut off, and Europe is left to eat itself.

Thinking of this, Uncle En picked up the pen and wrote a few words to Wang Mingshan, "The European war broke out first, or the European revolutionary war broke out first." That's a problem. ”
