"According to the data we now have, the main enemies of the empire, the population of Burussia is 120 million (and the population of Russia has also decreased after losing some of its territory), the population of the United States is more than 80 million, and the island nation is similar to the empire, which is also more than 50 million. The population of Austria-Hungary was slightly smaller, at more than 40 million. In contrast, the empire did not have an advantage in terms of population at all, and was even at an absolute disadvantage.

If war breaks out, the maximum mobilization of the empire will only be able to mobilize five million troops. And Burussia can mobilize more than 10 million, the United States can also mobilize 8 million, and the island countries are also 5 million. In this case, the empire will have to face enemies many times its size.

Perhaps, you will say, the fighting power of the Empire* army is much stronger than those of the enemy. But can the Empire's armies be expected to be superior to our enemies in terms of combat effectiveness when the industrial output and population size are vastly smaller than those of the Empire's enemies? I don't want the future empire to win the war and all the young men will die. In that case, the empire probably won't continue to exist. Qin Tian's expression was very serious.

"Your Majesty, the population problem is indeed a big problem plaguing the empire, and in the future, the government will introduce relevant policies to promote further population growth." Prime Minister Bilo said.

Qin Tian shook his head: "Just doing this is far from enough. I hope that the population of the empire will be doubled in twenty years! By 1936, the total population of the empire had increased to 100 million. Most of this increase is youth. In this way, the empire will have enough troops in the future wars. This will give us the capital to defeat those strong enemies! ”

"Doubling in twenty years? How is this possible? Prime Minister Bilow was shocked.

Similarly, the other military ministers were also shocked by Qin Tian's madness. After all, population growth is not so easy. Unless, like the great eastern countries of another time and space, they are open to having children. Otherwise, the population would not have risen so fast.

"Your Majesty, in that case, I'm afraid we'll have to give a mandatory order. Otherwise, the population would not have grown so fast. The Home Secretary said.

Qin Tian nodded: "From now on, promulgate policies." Each couple in the childbearing age must have at least two children. The third child will have the empire cover the costs of his school and other things. In addition, families will receive subsidies accordingly. The more children you have, the more subsidies you have. Families with fewer than two children will be penalized. Those who hold military or government positions will no longer be promoted. In addition, they will face hefty fines. In this case, I think it will be possible to promote population growth. ”

"Your Majesty, I am afraid that giving such an order will cause dissatisfaction among many people. After all, not every family wants to have that many children in reputation. In addition, some couples may be unable to have children due to physical reasons. These need to be treated separately. Prime Minister Billo said.

"The government should strengthen guidance for the people. Let them know that the empire is now strong and has conquered so many territories, and if the empire cannot hold these territories because the population of the empire is too small, it will be a crime against the empire and the entire nation. We need more people to make the empire stronger. I think that the vast majority of the people of the empire love the empire and are willing to contribute their strength to the strength of the empire. There is no problem at all in carrying out this policy. Qin Tian said.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed very feasible to carry out this policy. But at the same time, government spending is likely to increase a lot. "The Chancellor of the Exchequer is a little worried.

Although, this time the empire sold the land of India to those princes and made a lot of money. But again, the empire has more places to spend its money. Whether it is infrastructure construction, improving people's livelihood, or further developing the military, money is needed.

"That's not a problem, not to mention that we're going to be able to get two billion marks a year from India starting next year. The empire had gained so many colonies this time, and the wealth plundered from those colonies alone was enough to make a huge difference in the empire's financial revenue. If that's not enough. So, let's use the wealth that the army has gained from India this time as a fund for population development! Qin Tian said.

The Germans received 3,000 tons of gold and other jewels from India, and 3,000 tons of gold alone were worth more than 8 billion marks. If you include the other jewels, the total value should be around 15 billion marks. If it is used for investment, the future income will be further increased. In this case, it is almost enough to develop the population. Even if it is insufficient, Qin Tian can still use the industry controlled by the royal family to subsidize it.

After Qin Tian became the emperor of the empire, all his industries were also counted into the royal family's estate. Of course, no one other than himself is qualified to use these properties at all.

Hearing that Qin Tian was going to use the gold and jewelry he had obtained from India as funds for population development, the military ministers' faces couldn't help but change. However, then I was relieved.

Originally, they also wanted to invest this money in the development of military power. However, now it seems that there are no powerful weapons and equipment, and there are not enough people to use them, and that will not work. As the population rises, so does the number of soldiers. In that case, Germany's military power could also rise further.

"Your Majesty, use the money that the army got from India to develop the population, and the army has no opinion!" Feng? Marshal Falkenhein said.

Since the Army has no opinion, the Navy and Air Force have even less opinion. After all, the money was obtained by the Army.

"In that case, let's officially implement it! Starting on January 1 next year, the empire officially began to implement family planning. The population of the future empire must be further increased. This will be the most important capital of the empire to dominate the world! Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" All the military ministers replied.

A week later, the German government issued an executive order requiring family planning nationwide.

This order has provoked discussion in Germany and around the world. The vast majority of people agree that they are willing to contribute to the empire, not to mention that they can also get subsidies for having more children. Only a minority believe that this is a violation of human rights. As for the enemies of Germany, they further felt the threat of Germany.
