The world is only so big, so when some countries start to produce surplus products on a large scale, the unsalable goods will urge these countries to find ways to recover the cost of inputs, so as to form a better cycle and development. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info so dumping one's own goods to areas with insufficient productivity has become an important link for the first developed region or country to make blood for itself or call plunder.

And if there are more and more developed countries in the world, some people will find that the competition has started from all fields, the products have become less easy to get rid of, and the regions that absorb excess capacity have become less and less. Unconsciously, contradictions arise.

At first, people may be more restrained, hoping to solve the problem through normal channels and negotiations, but soon this peaceful method will be spurned, because endless compromise will wear out everyone's patience. So another more direct and ancient method has entered people's options, "force", which has been an important means of human settlement of disputes since the age of barbarism!

When one country is preparing for war, other countries are forced to prepare for war together in order to protect themselves. Then everyone intimidates their opponents, shows each other their strength, and maintains a delicate balance. In the end, because they want to gain an advantage in terms of force, so as to ensure that they are more comfortable when intimidating others, or more confident when dealing with the intimidation of others, everyone will invest more money and time to continue to prepare for war.

At the end of the story, or at the beginning of another story, the balance will be broken in the next second, and there will always be a country that thinks it is ready for war, and then war breaks out, a war driven by capital begins, and human civilization falls into a trough...... Or rather, into another peak.

The first to find out that they needed a war were the capitalists of the Ming Empire who had used war to solve problems, and now found that they had the ability to use war to solve problems. They are worried about dumping their supplies, believing that a war can consume their supplies and turn them into a decent venture capital income!

Don't laugh at the cold-bloodedness of capital, and don't accuse capital of ruthlessness, because in any case, war is definitely a business that is profitable and profitable! Yes! A business, that's all! A war that is so bloody and brutal that it kills hundreds of thousands, if not millions, is just a game.

In the preparation stage for war, whether it is state investment or borrowing, most of the materials produced in the country have in fact been digested. So from the beginning of the preparation for the war, capital has been making money, and it is making a lot of money.

Immediately after the outbreak of the war, prices soared, and there was a shortage of materials, all we could do was to produce at full capacity, and in times of war, even inconspicuous things on weekdays could be sold at the price of gold! At the same time, the state pays for everything consumed in the war, and capital is guaranteed to be earned.

Next, the war is divided into winners and losers, whether it is the losing side or the winning side, it needs to heal the wounds caused by the war and get out of the shadow left by the war, all of which of course needs capital to invest to operate. The capital of the victorious countries grows in the rhythm of production, consumption and reproduction, and can quickly occupy more markets by relying on the influence of victory.

Even if a country loses a war, its internal capital still exists, and it rises from a ruin, and business is better! As long as the goods and materials produced are consumed, assets with more capital and technological accumulation than before the war will of course rise rapidly to prepare for the next shameful war.

Look, the whole process, the capital itself is constantly growing, and a war can empty the backlog and rebuild the market, so that the entire capital can be formatted and redeveloped. The only loss is nothing more than countless lives...... In the face of the growth of human progress and the insatiable desires of the ruling class, human life is just a number.

"We should join forces with the British Empire! They should know that if the Ming Empire once it advances westward, the fragile Europe will definitely be occupied by the Ming Empire again without us as a barrier...... And this time, the Ming Empire was not so easy to drive away! "In the capital of Muscovy, in the imperial palace of the city of Moscow, the chief minister of the Grand Duke of Moscow, Bross? Zaitsev admonished Vladimir VII: "Relying on us alone is not enough to resist the westward advance of the Ming Empire, we must pull everyone who can pull in!" ”

The title of Vladimir is a kind of "inheritance" of the Grand Duchy of Moscow when it was founded, when it traces its historical origins. So the emperor of Muscovy called himself Vladimir, from the founding emperor I, to the seventh generation today.

Vladimir VII sat on his throne and agreed with the opinion of his chief minister, and he also knew that it was completely impossible to deal with the invasion of the Ming Empire with the strength of one country alone. So he opened his mouth and ordered: "Send an envoy at once, I hope to carry out the ...... at the same time."

"First of all, send an envoy to the Ming Empire, I hope to sign a non-aggression pact with the Ming Empire to ensure the security of the border between the two countries!" Vladimir VII was a middle-aged man, and he considered the problem more comprehensively and steadily: "Being able to submit a peace treaty with the Ming Empire is at least not a bad thing. ”

After finishing speaking, he paused and continued: "Secondly, we have to conduct the same negotiations with Germany and Austria-Hungary, and if the unfavorable situation of the Ming Empire insists on advancing westward, at least ensure the safety of our western border!" ”

After finishing speaking, he thought for a while, stretched out two more fingers, and added: "Find a way to get the factories and equipment east of the Ural Mountains to the west...... I need to make sure that my country's industrial system remains intact in a state of war, which is a very important thing, so that the Ming Empire can see our determination to resist! ”

"The last thing is to put pressure on the United British Empire and France, Ceylon, and even the United States and Japan, on the impending Germany...... Let them compromise and sign a defense treaty with us. "After Vladimir VII had arranged the countermeasures, he asked his minister Bros? Zaitsev: "How is the deployment of troops in the border areas? ”

"We have deployed 1.1 million elite troops on the eastern defense line, and if the Ming Empire begins to gather troops, we can send 900,000 reinforcements there in a short time......" Zaitsev heard His Majesty the Emperor ask himself, and quickly replied: "Among the T-30 tanks we produced, 1,100 are deployed in the direction of the Eastern Front, and there are 500 of the latest T-31s, which are enough to be called giants, and we will not lose the war, Your Majesty!" ”

"Just in case, order another 300 T-31 tanks, I would also like to see if the tank designers of our Muscovy have a stronger or weaker understanding of tank warfare than their counterparts in the Ming Empire!" Vladimir VII raised his chin and said firmly to his chief minister.

In order to defend against a possible attack by the Ming Empire, Muscovy built a wide frontal defensive zone in Central Siberia. Due to the scarcity of supplies, most of the fortifications consisted of trenches, barbed wire, and minefields, but among these lines, Muscovy also planted several huge fortresses, and near these fortresses, armored troops were assembled to counterattack - it may not be as easy as the Ming Empire wanted to tear through this line of defense.

Originally, Muscovy wanted to invest more energy in this line of defense, but at this time, the German Empire on the Western Front was ready to move. The German emperor was actively lobbying Austria-Hungary in Europe to form a great European coalition against the Anglo-French alliance.

At the critical juncture of the Ming Empire's military expansion, the traditional four European powers formed an alliance in pairs and launched the strongest confrontation in history, which made Muscovy, which was on the cusp of the storm, begin to worry about its western front. Because compared with the unequivocal anti-Ming attitude of the traditional Anglo-French alliance, the emerging European powers Germany and Austria-Hungary obviously had too much ambiguity about the Ming Empire.

In the event that the Ming Empire and Germany reached an agreement and attacked Muscovy on both flanks, it would be a catastrophe for Muscovy. Therefore, Vladimir VII was determined to draw a solid ally for himself before the war came, at least to ensure that he was in a favorable position for a one-front battle in the future war.

Obviously, Muscovy was not the only country seeking a favorable position for itself in a possible war, and the envoy sent by Vladimir VII had not yet left before the envoy from the Ottoman Empire came to the city of Moscow. The Ottoman Empire, which was entrenched in the Middle East, also foresaw the coming war, and in order to stabilize its north, it chose to submit an alliance with Muscovy.

"The Ottoman Empire? It seems that they are also actively planning a war against small countries in the Middle East and the Suez Canal......" Vladimir VII narrowed his eyes and began to think about his thoughts: "Isn't my active planning for an alliance with the Ming Empire and Germany just to buy time for myself to go south?" ”

In Muscovy's strategic plan, the Ottoman Empire in the south is the lamb to the slaughter on their chopping block. With a sneer, Vladimir VII made up his mind before he spoke: "Arrange the time and let the envoy of the Ottoman Empire come to see me...... Of course, we must sign a non-aggression pact between our two countries! (To be continued.) )
