After fooling Nicholas II into a lame, Jochen insisted on leaving Nicholas II on Björk Island for two days, in the name of letting his cousin put down his worries and rest well, but Nicholas II had run out of patience at this time, and after staying for two days, no matter what Jochen said, he resolutely returned to St. Petersburg on the Polaris.

After returning to St. Petersburg, the Russian ministers were very interested in whether the secret meeting between His Majesty the Tsar and the Kaiser had reached any agreement, and they were greatly relieved to learn that the Germans had not taken the opportunity to make any demands on Russia.

Although some of the softbones who had already been frightened by the Japanese objected to Nicholas II's decision to continue fighting, and dissuaded Nicholas II on the grounds that it was more important to stabilize the domestic situation than to continue fighting with the Japanese in the Far East, he was scolded by Nicholas II, "The Russian Empire cannot cede land and pay reparations, and if you can negotiate with those yellow-skinned monkeys, I will immediately stop the war now." As soon as the words came out, those crooked guys honestly shut up.

In this case, on the one hand, Nicholas II began to suppress the unrest in the country with tougher means, and on the other hand, he continued to transfer troops to the Far East, and more and more troops and equipment began to gather in Vladivostok.

In the Far East, the Russian Army, after retreating some distance, consolidated its front in North Manchuria and waited for reinforcements, preparing to continue the confrontation.

More blood, more steel, and more money are being devoured by the behemoth known as war, and in order to keep the war going, Russia will have to continue to borrow from France, even if it will make the economic ties between Russia and France even closer. But this was also expected by Jochen, as the debt-ridden Russia would face a long road of repayment in the future, which would delay Russia's recovery and military reconstruction, and France would be able to make a profit, but these funds would not be converted into productivity in a short time.

Things are moving in the direction Jochen wants to see, and to Jochen's delight. Originally, it was thought that there should be no fool to jump out to thank the Americans for what upset them, but Jochen overestimated the lower IQ limit of the fools in this world, and the Japanese actually jumped out and died.

During Jochen's visit to the United States, Japan was dissatisfied and uneasy that Germany, which had "betrayed" itself and sided with the enemy, was warmly welcomed in the home of its now "reliable" partner, the United States, and as negotiations between the United States and Germany deepened, the U.S. government did not respond to Japan's request for mediation, because the U.S. government decided to wait and see the outcome of the negotiations between Jochen and Nicholas II.

As a result, the Japanese, who felt that they had been betrayed again, began to hold demonstrations in the country to denounce the perfidy of the US government. After learning the news, Jochen almost didn't laugh out loud in front of his minister, and now the only mediator who can intervene and be accepted by both sides is the United States, and at this time you accuse the U.S. government of not looking for a draw.

Of course, the Japanese brain-dead Johan was happy to see this happen, and instructed Bilo, who was negotiating with the United States, to make further concessions on the transfer of the right to dig the Nicaragua Canal.

In the end, the U.S. government paid $100 million for the right to dig the Nicaragua Canal, and the $5 million investment that year was made by Jochen was 20 times more than 20 years later, but it was obviously a bit harsh on the U.S. government to have the U.S. government directly pay $100 million to Germany, and the U.S. government would complain about it. Hence as a concession. The $100 million was not paid directly to Jochen, but was used as a merchandise pick-up voucher. Germany was allowed to take $100 million worth of goods from the United States.

This is beneficial to the Americans, because the actual value of $100 million in goods is actually less than $100 million, and in addition, the current industrial overcapacity in the United States will affect the continued production of factories if the goods are produced and cannot be digested, so after the Germans take away $100 million in goods, American companies can produce another $100 million of goods. So that the production of goods can be sustained.

For the U.S. government, paying for $100 million in goods was more than enough, so Jochen's concession once again made the U.S. government feel good, and Jochen instructed Bilow to use the $100 million to purchase various supplies for Germany to build a strategic reserve, as for the money. If the German government borrows its own, it will be repaid at bank interest at that time.

In the current situation where the external environment is becoming more and more unreliable, the sense of crisis in the German government is getting stronger and stronger, and the establishment of strategic reserves is extremely urgent, but the government has no more funds, so it can only be carried out in stages, and now it is undoubtedly great news that it has received 100 million US dollars, equivalent to 400 million marks.

Moreover, this money is still the private property of His Majesty the Emperor, you must know that Russia is now in such a difficult situation, and the Russians can only squeeze domestic laborers and borrow from France, and the royal funds owned by Nicholas II have not been touched by a single ruble, and it is no wonder that Mashal excitedly praised Joheng as if the previous monarchs in the world were not as good as Jochen.

As for repaying the money, Jochen said that he was not in a hurry, and that he should deposit it in the bank to earn interest. And eating people with a soft mouth, taking advantage of people's short hands, taking advantage of their own big one, it will be much easier for them to let the prime minister and the cabinet understand their own policies in the future.

Naturally, this matter should be hyped up, where can such a generous monarch be found in all of Europe? Naturally, Jochen took this opportunity to gain prestige at home, and took advantage of this opportunity to preach the idea of National Socialism, which was popular among the youth of the empire with the idea that the interests of the state were paramount and that the individual should serve the interests of the state.

The rapid development of Germany's national power and world influence has caused the country's self-esteem to soar, and the idea of National Socialism is very capable of arousing the heroic dedication of those young people.

Regardless of the country or era, nationalism and nationalism are the most effective means of inciting young people, and as a qualified monarch, Jochen naturally wants to make good use of these enthusiastic young people to promote his ideas, strengthen his power, and consolidate his rule, perhaps realistic and gloomy, but undoubtedly this is an extremely effective means to improve the overall national strength.

And then at this opportunity, Jochen began to put forward the long-planned national grain reserve plan, and most of the strategic reserves that had been built before were mainly precious metals, cotton, sugar and other strategic materials, but grain was not among them, because the establishment of huge grain reserves would affect the interests of the agricultural Junkers.

Although Jochen's previous implementation of agricultural industrialization, agricultural industrialization, agricultural mechanization, and agricultural colonization did give the agricultural Junkers a taste of sweetness, and Germany's grain production did increase, but this increase was basically not visible after the annexation of Austria, whose grain production capacity was even inferior to Germany's, and Germany still had to import about 30% of its grain to Hungary and Russia every year to meet its domestic needs.

Therefore, the agricultural Junkers can still raise the price according to the change in grain production to obtain higher profits, but once the imperial government establishes a grain reserve mechanism, the price of food will be suppressed for a long time, so that the profits obtained by the agricultural Junkers will not increase in any case, and even produce a certain amount of income reduction.

Every year, the new grain in the warehouse and the old grain out of the warehouse will have an impact on the grain price in the market, which is naturally a good thing for the government to stabilize the grain price, but not necessarily for the producers. This is also the reason why Jochen has not dared to carry out strategic grain reserves, because the entire agricultural Juncker group will oppose it.

Even with Jochen's efforts, the power of the agricultural Junkers has been divided, but after all, the base is there, even if they can't turn the sky, they can still make the imperial government a miasma.

Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity, Jochen asked the German government to use 200 million marks of 400 million to buy grain directly from the United States, which was already a major grain exporter at this time, but it was difficult to enter the European market, and the German market did not welcome the entry of American grain at all, because even the purchase of grain from Russia and Hungary was a minimum acceptable to German agricultural producers, let alone American grain.

But now that Russia is in a mess, its own domestic production is not smooth, and it still wants to export grain? Therefore, it is a good opportunity to buy grain from the United States, and it can also make American agricultural producers happy.

And the German emperor's behavior of lending 400 million private money to the imperial government blocked the mouth of all the old Junkers who wanted to oppose Jochen's policy and oppose the construction of the national strategic grain reserve? Didn't you see that the emperor came out with his own money? Don't you know that the interests of the country come first? Don't you know that individuals are supposed to serve the interests of the state?

If these old Junkers blatantly objected, they would probably be drowned by the spitting stars. The forces of thought began to influence the community to provide strong public opinion support for Jochen's rule and the implementation of his policies, and it was time for the seeds that had been sown to begin to bear fruit.

However, Jochen will not do anything wrong, and the purchase of grain reserves is also open to domestic agricultural producers, and the purchase price is implemented according to a basically stable standard after evaluation, and does not make major changes according to the changes in the market price of grain in the current year, so as to ensure that the profit of producers is guaranteed when the price of grain is low.

In this way, as soon as the drought and flood were guaranteed, everyone had a step down, and those old Junkers did not dare to jump out and touch the mold of the German emperor, who was now unrivaled in prestige, and Jochen's plan was able to unfold smoothly, and before 1914, the reserve was enough for the whole of Germany to support a year's food, which was the most basic requirement of Jochen.
