[Open the functional miracle building function, according to the country and city you occupy today, you can build a miracle building in the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, the total war system will provide professional construction engineers to design, command and build the Arc de Triomphe, but the manpower and material resources need you to make overall planning, what scale does the Arc de Triomphe need to achieve, you can directly ask the professional construction engineers provided by the total war system, the system construction engineers have appeared in the city of Paris, when you need to build, please return to the city of Paris to give an order to mobilize materials and manpower.

After the completion of the Arc de Triomphe, new military buildings will appear in the Total War system, and new military items will be added. 】

Kai...... Triumphal arch?!!! Lin Haoda looked at the hints given by the Total War system and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

From the information given, it is not difficult to see that the construction of this triumphal arch will inevitably consume a lot of money and require a lot of labor, and the current French Republic, because of its continuous wars, has long since exhausted its finances, and if it were not for the dividends and loans given to it by the bourgeoisie of the French Republic, it would not have been able to support the expedition of so many large armies.

In this way, Lin Haoda also needs to loot the entire Belgian region to make up for his wealth and materials in the next stage of the war.

How could such a war-torn country support the construction of the Arc de Triomphe?

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that today's war is just a small fight, and when the Poles are cleaned up, the European powers who have turned back will inevitably use the whole of France as a battlefield to encircle and annihilate themselves!

At this time, if the construction of the Arc de Triomphe, which is a 'stinky and useless' building opened by outsiders, is said to be a French commoner, I am afraid that those French capitalists will also subconsciously think that Lin Haoda is going to be finished, and wants to satisfy his 'little' vanity at the end, and then drag the whole of France to accompany the funeral!

Well, Lin Haoda doesn't care about the funeral of France, but he doesn't want to really bury himself......

To build a triumphal arch, labor can be pulled by forced requisition, but what about money?

Lin Haoda could think with his ass that the shocked expressions of those French capitalists when they heard that they were going to pay for the construction of the Arc de Triomphe, the dictator who was reckless and militaristic may not fall, but if he added reckless luxury to the reckless military force, it would be called truly unpopular!

At least the reckless militarism still has the hope of bringing wealth in the war, as long as the victory goes all the way, it is not difficult to feed the country, the French capitalists have obtained a large amount of land and real estate in the Belgian region, which is the first war dividend they supported Lin Haoda to launch the war.

Lin Haoda believes that as long as he wins all the way, those French civilians who are in dire straits may not really accept him, but those French capitalists and businessmen who have obtained real benefits will definitely cheer for themselves!

The capitalists are the most concerned about practical interests, whoever can bring them benefits, they are willing to be loyal to whom, Napoleon was able to rise at the beginning, not by the support of the French mud legs, but by these rich French bigwigs.

After the defeat of Waterloo, Napoleon's prestige in France was not affected much, when Napoleon returned to Paris, the citizens of Paris even spontaneously took weapons to fight with Napoleon to the death, and the whole France was immersed in a state of mourning and frenzy, and the French lower class almost unanimously continued to support Napoleon to continue to be emperor and lead them to continue fighting!

This is the prestige of Napoleon after the defeat of Waterloo!

However, Napoleon finally took the initiative to abandon the French who were willing to shed blood for him, the reason is very simple, the French capitalists abandoned Napoleon, in their estimates, after the defeat of Waterloo, Napoleon faced hundreds of thousands of European elites, there was no hope of victory, and naturally he was not willing to continue to invest his money in the bottomless pit of Napoleon, Napoleon also knew very well that without the financial support of the French capitalists, even if there were more French civilians supporting him, in the end it would be just a massacre, When the coalition of the anti-French alliance entered Paris, Napoleon would probably have to change from a French hero to a French sinner.

Napoleon saw this very clearly, and it was true that the popular will was available, but the war was fought with money and national strength, and what was needed was the support of the upper class, and Napoleon could rise because his political ideas were in line with the interests of the bourgeoisie, and the popularity he had built up through the war would naturally continue to swell.

In war, money is always more important than the people's will, and historical wars have proved this, the defeat of the Germans in World War II, and the fanatical Japanese had no choice but to surrender, is it because of the people's will?

On the contrary, at that time, whether it was Germany or Japan, the civilian population at home basically showed signs of one-sidedness, especially the Japanese madmen, who made the white world even more unreasonable!

It's a pity that the Japanese have no money, their national strength is not good, and they don't want to destroy the country and exterminate the species, so they can only surrender all the way.

The same is true of Germany, unlike the Allies who preached that Hitler was a tyrant and a war maniac, in the minds of the Germans at that time, Hitler was a 'pacifist', a great leader of the working class!

Hitler, who was born at the bottom, relied on the working class and the common people to rise to power, and represented the interests of the vast number of poor people in Germany.

Lin Haoda, who has been in the top position for a long time, also understands this truth, fighting a war is nothing more than fighting money and materials, fortunately, in the 18th century, there was not much difference in industrial strength between the European countries, and most of the leading British people were also supported by vast colonies, rather than how strong Britain's own industrial strength could be.

Therefore, what is needed for war is money, and it is an eternal truth that money can make the devil grind.

This is the reason why Lin Haoda actively co-opted the French bourgeoisie, and disdained the French civilians, who were more numerous, if his soldiers were from the natives, maybe Lin Haoda would be more restrained, since his soldiers did not need to be recruited from the French civilians, what did he care about those poor ghosts?

It is better to cooperate with French capitalists who are useful to themselves and can provide them with various war materials, and distribute the French cake that is not much.

"After the occupation of the Netherlands, it may be necessary to collect some money, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to rely on the French bourgeoisie for the construction of the Arc de Triomphe, so we will have to pay for it ourselves.

I'm really looking forward to it, if I build the Arc de Triomphe, what kind of surprise will the Total War system give me?

I wonder how much more time the European anti-French coalition will give me to prepare. ”..
