In the agricultural era, a country's comprehensive national strength is mainly reflected in the human and material resources it occupies; That is to say, if the country has a large population, a large territory, and abundant resources, then its comprehensive national strength is strong.

However, in the increasingly developed industrial age in later generations, the size of the population and the size of the territory are no longer the fundamental factors to measure the comprehensive strength of a country.

Because in the era of industrial development, the factors that determine whether a country's comprehensive national strength is strong or not are to be evaluated from the country's industrial technology, scale and production capacity, as well as new scientific and technological technologies such as information technology.

After the information age, what is competing between countries is the ability to integrate resources and the strength of the ability to control international information resources.

However, no matter how rapid the human era develops, the constituent elements of comprehensive national strength are divided into two categories: material factors and spiritual factors.

Material factors are generally based on a country's basic strength, economic capacity, natural resource capacity, military capacity, and hardware, such as culture, aerospace, science and technology, and education.

The spiritual factors include customs, cultural traditions, national spirit, ideals, beliefs, morals and other cultural elements.

Therefore, when Chen Yanlong made up his mind to rebuild the economic development of Bavaria, he was also thinking about the economic construction of other German cities and the reorganization of the army.

However, when recruiting talents to build Bavaria's economic construction, Chen Yanlong was also starting to build a German Chinatown.

In later years, when traveling in New York, San Francisco or Philadelphia, or in many major European cities such as Paris, London and Amsterdam, it was a pleasant shopping experience to go to the local Chinatown for a Chinese dim sum or buy some Chinese handicrafts, and these bustling Chinatowns are also tourist hotspots that attract a large number of tourists.

But in the 21st century, in Germany, where there are almost 200,000 Chinese, there is no Chinatown.

According to later historical sources, in 1941, the then Huaxia Kingdom declared war on Germany, and at the same time, some of the Gestapo who had participated in organizing and carrying out the Holocaust in Eastern Europe also returned to Hamburg. These extreme Gestapo saw the Chinese as enemies and wanted to eliminate them. On May 13, 1944, the Gestapo launched the "Operation Chinese" to arrest Chinese in Hamburg.

The Gestapo arrested all the Chinese men in the St. Pauli district they could capture, and the arrested Chinese were subjected to inhumane treatment in the labor camps, resulting in many casualties.

As a result, most of the Chinese who survived the war left Hamburg, and only 30 eventually returned to Hamburg.

Of course, before the anti-fascist war in China, Germany had Chinatowns in the 19th and early 20th centuries; Especially after Hitler came to power in 1933, he had a honeymoon period with Huaxia.

Because Germany at that time needed tungsten, iron, and manganese, the strategic materials of Huaxia, and these materials were needed to make guns, and Huaxia also needed German guns and military equipment.

But in 1938, Hitler pursued a policy of "pure German blood", believing that "only five generations of Germans are truly Germans". The Chinese began to suffer because many secret police were operating around Chinatown; The Chinese were forced to divorce their German wives on the grounds that they would "stain the blood of the Germanic people."

Finally, around 1939, World War II was on the horizon, and the Nazi regime gradually increased the persecution of immigrants from various countries, and Chinese living in Chinatown began to flee Hamburg.

For the dark history of Germany's Chinatown, Chen Yanlong still remembers it relatively clearly; Because before he crossed over, he participated in and read a lot of online materials about why Germany's Chinatown disappeared.

When Chen Yanlong made up his mind to rebuild a Chinatown, he called Himmler over.

"I wanted to rebuild a Chinatown in Hamburg's St. Pauli district. I hope to be able to see Chinese restaurants and Chinese teahouses there again; Chinese miscellaneous goods store, Chinese laundry, and more! ”

As soon as Himmler arrived at the meeting room of Chen Yanlong's chancellor's office, Chen Yanlong went straight to the road after asking someone to prepare some refreshments for the other party.

"But now the Huaxia Kingdom is declaring war on us, and the Huaxia people who live in Hamburg have already left! Where do I go to find the Chinese to rebuild the German Chinatown? Monarch! ”

After hearing this, Himmler stared at Chen Yanlong intently and said suspiciously.

"Do you think military strength and economic strength are important for a country's rise?"

Regarding Himmler's questioning, Chen Yanlong just asked with a relaxed face.

"Important!"

Himmler said without thinking.

"We in Germany are a country lacking in natural resources, do you agree?"

Chen Yanlong continued to ask rhetorically.

"This ...... Sort of! ”

Himmler hesitated.

"I now need a lot of tungsten, iron, manganese and other natural resources to build more advanced and powerful guns, rockets, and aircraft, tanks, aircraft carriers and other weapons and equipment to strengthen our country's military strength and combat effectiveness!"

"I believe you should also know that in our last few large-scale counterattacks against the British, American and Soviet forces, we have achieved dazzling results! So I will do whatever it takes to get more natural resources to develop our empire's military and economic power! ”

"The natural resources of Huaxia are just the beginning, because we still need friendly cooperation with more countries to develop and strengthen our empire!"

"And I am very convinced that there are no permanent enemies, only eternal interests, especially between countries."

"Like our allies, Italy and Japan, if other countries give them better conditions for cooperation; I believe they will definitely turn their guns against our German Empire; On the other hand, if our allies such as Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union, who are now fighting to the death with us, if our military strength is stronger than theirs, and if we give them great benefits, do you think they will continue to fight the war with us? ”

As soon as the words fell, Chen Yanlong asked rhetorically in a series of long speeches.

"This ...... No way! ”

Himmler, who had not yet fully digested Chen Yanlong's words, said with a confused face.

"Then you can go and rebuild Germany's Chinatown for me, and I hope to see this Chinatown come back to life before Christmas!"

"In addition, I will also send diplomats to support them with some military materials, so that they can better fight against Japan; The consequence of this is that I hope that after the war, our empire will be able to become a friendly economic cooperation ally with the Chinese country, and will be able to conduct various academic research with each other, exchange science and technology, and the mutual circulation of natural resources, which will be conducive to the economic development and scientific and technological development of our empire! ”

Hearing this, Chen Yanlong continued.

"But if we do this, will Japan find out about it, and it will protest and fight back against us!"

After hearing this, Himmler glared worriedly.

"Didn't I just say that? There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests; And will we, the German Reich, be afraid of the threat of a small Japan? Could it be that you, as a high-ranking official of our empire, are afraid of the other party? ”

Chen Yanlong sneered.

"Nope! I'm definitely not afraid of a small Japan, I'm just worried that if we do this, we will destroy the good cooperative relationship between us and our allies. ”

Himmler replied loudly.

"I'll be measured in my work, just do what I just said!"

"Winter and Christmas are coming, and we also have to prepare some special Christmas gifts for our officers and soldiers, and people; Especially for the soldiers on the front line of the Eastern Front, we have to prepare winter combat clothing for them in advance, as well as military supplies that need to be used in winter! ”

Chen Yanlong ignored the other party's words and cut it to the point.

"Yes! Monarch! ”

When Himmler saw Chen Yanlong suddenly staring at him with an extremely sharp and domineering gaze, he didn't dare to refute anymore, but immediately agreed loudly.
