Bai Nan was not overly jealous of Germany, because the strength of the Tang Dynasty was undoubted, and the organizational form of the National Revolution constrained the actions of some careerists and ultra-nationalists. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Although Marens is more right/leaning now, once he really crosses the line, Bai Nan can immediately take measures to pull this guy off the throne of the German president.

After Germany's victory over the Austro-Prussian coalition last year, Marnes was interested in promoting the cult of personality at home. He hoped to consolidate his position in this way, but even though he played a great role in the whole revolution, this was met with great opposition. Marnes doesn't bring it up explicitly, but some of his henchmen do it by printing posters, sending documents, and the like. However, the reaction within the party was fierce because the catastrophic nature of the cult of personality was clearly stated in the theory of internationalism, and countless people who took the revolutionary theory from the Tang Dynasty as the Bible did not agree with this situation, even though Marnes's merits were worthy of recognition.

When Paik Nam first tried to create the so-called internationalism, he made it clear that he would use an organizational structure without individual will to prevent some individuals from playing a destructive role in the historical process. Even in Datang itself, people rarely see the leader's large portrait, and there is nothing like "Cheers to the leader's health". Bai Nam has always stopped putting himself among the people, and from the time when he was not in office to the present, there are countless examples of being close to the people. With the passage of time, the Tang people have become more and more aware that even leaders are no different from them, they are also human beings. Mistakes are also made. I also cook after work. He also loves his family, and he is also dedicating himself to this country.

Marnes did not have this understanding, he grew up in the same old European environment, and even if he accepted internationalism, he was inevitably influenced by other things. However, the organizational form established from Bai Nan directly constrained the implementation of Marnes's personality cult. Further, Marens could not really say the same thing in the German National Revolution, and the Tang Dynasty was able to influence the decisions of the Germans in various forms. A large part of the members of the German National Revolution did not see anything wrong with doing what the First International dictated. They will also feel that ultra-nationalism is narrow-minded. The ultimate realization of internationalism also takes precedence over Germany's national interests.

In the end, Germany received a high loan of 130 million Tang Yuan from Datang, with a repayment period of up to 20 years, and Datang also received a large number of German state-owned assets as collateral, and the profits generated by these state-owned assets will automatically flow into the hands of Datang's credit institutions as repayment, and when the principal and interest are paid off, these assets will be returned to the German government.

This method is also relatively acceptable to the German side, and even willing to accept it. For example, in some enterprises, the ownership was handed over to the Tang people. Naturally, the Tang people will make a certain amount of investment and technical guidance, so that they will generate profits endlessly. Such as several mining areas in Alsace. In order to get a quick and large return, the Tang people will definitely make investments, and when the investment is rewarded and the loans are repaid, these enterprises will return to the hands of the Germans, which means that the Tang people have cultivated a series of enterprises with revenue capacity for them.

The asset projects opened up by this loan program are huge, mainly mineral, industrial and commercial and land development projects, and Bai Nam firmly believes that even if he only engages in real estate, Tang people will make a steady profit. Therefore, this loan package is still a win-win situation. The Germans were given weapons and supplies, were able to wage war, and plundered new lands and resources, and twenty years later were able to get a number of cultivated enterprises; Through large loans, Datang maintained its balance of payments on the one hand, made large purchases and investments, and further promoted the development of the domestic economy, while at the same time pushing its economic penetration and control over Germany to a new level.

Germany's large-scale military procurement has completely fattened a number of domestic military industries and other enterprises in the related industrial chain. The procurement of weapons, which is enough to arm 100,000 people, has made a number of military industrial enterprises such as NORINCO full of orders, and their profits have increased significantly. Datang is also very interesting for German friends, S1 rifles, S6 submachine guns, imitation MG42 foreign trade machine guns SC-42, a large number of grenades, as well as the Tang Army's previous self-use 75 105 mm howitzers, and the newly launched foreign trade version of the 155 mm SC-1792 corps-level howitzers, all supplied to the German army.

Even China is allowed to export lightly armored barrel cars to Germany, and Datang Volkswagen Group is also allowed to invest in Germany and produce military and civilian vehicles in Germany. This is also the first time that Datang has built an automobile production plant in another country except in the Qing Dynasty.

The Germans also purchased four second-hand Liberty-class frigates in service from the Datang Navy at one time this time. Although the Datang Navy is reluctant, after all, the gap in the navy's warships is not small. Last year alone, the Navy included one San Francisco-class heavy cruiser, five Vancouver-class light cruisers, and ten Thunder-class frigates, which is enough to replace four old ships. Not to mention that this year's Navy's Australia-class battleship lead ship Australia will be listed, and other ships that are expected to be completed include 3 heavy cruisers, 4 light cruisers, and 5 new types of switch-class frigates.

The development needs of the Datang Navy are far greater than those of the Datang Army, and the Army does not actually anticipate how many large-scale wars to be fought. If anything, Bai Nan was planning the subversion of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and a large number of troops might be needed, but after all, the Tang army also expanded the Wuwei Army by 100,000, and the rest of the special corps was also very strong, and it was far more than needed. There have always been voices calling for the Army to downsize, especially the size of the Special Corps, but the Army has insisted on not letting go.

The territory of the Tang Dynasty is too big, the Americas rely on two oceans, and there are many little brothers in South America who need to take care of it. The Far East also needs to be watched, as well as the situation in Oceania and the Indian Ocean, not to mention the intervention of the European situation and the protection of ocean-going trade. After all, this is not a calm era in the 20th century, and Datang's commercial interests and national interests need a strong navy to maintain. Therefore, the development of the Datang Navy is no longer aimed at satisfying its own defense, but with the goal of consolidating Datang's global hegemony.

The Germans will not only purchase 4 Liberty Wind, but Datang will also deliver 4 Pinghai-class and 6 Liberty Winds to them one after another, but the entire delivery process will take several years, and the German Navy, which has not yet been established, will have to wait for these ships to be retired from the Datang Navy.
