489: Fools go to Europe

"Tsk, the British are really calculating!" After hearing the British's proposal, Wang Sirui couldn't help but laugh angrily at the British's decision. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

But not to mention, the British are actually very naïve, and would invite the Chinese Empire to send an expeditionary force to garrison the Balkan Peninsula, I have to admit that this proposal did move Wang Sirui, but this is by no means the reason for China to send troops to the Balkan Peninsula. And Wang Sirui will never rashly send troops to Europe.

It's just, what kind of calculation did the British have? On this issue, it is still necessary to make it clear.

As the world boss, the British have their pride, but also have their style of doing things, any thing, absolutely not without purpose, and Wang Sirui absolutely does not believe that Britain will have no way to stop the Balkans, and decided to calculate the Chinese Empire.

"Sending troops to the Balkans has no interest in us, but will drag us into their rhythm." Yang Shiqi secretly analyzed on the side, Yang Shiqi did not know about the specific plans of the British, but he could analyze whether this matter was worth them according to his own interests, but it was obvious that the result of Yang Shiqi's analysis was not worth them doing at all, and there were many reasons, and it could even be said that there were many harms and no benefits.

"Oh? Let's talk about it! Wang Sirui nodded.

"For one, neither the army nor the navy can directly support the garrisons stationed in the Balkans, and we can't even guarantee their supplies, so to speak, once troops are sent to the Balkans, the garrison will be alone. And it will occupy a lot of our military spending, and once the British get stuck in the canal, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Second, we have already done this in Europe, and in Russia we will have less resistance and more support, and there will be no need to go to the Balkans to wade through the troubled waters.

Third, the British have ill intentions, and if we accept the invitation of the British to send an expeditionary force into the Balkans, what will the German side think? What would Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire think? Although Japan did not sign the alliance agreement, there was no need to be a gun in the arms of the Entente, and to do so would only create a huge rift between us and the Allies, and in the end, unless we did not participate in the war, or if we fought against the whole world with the strength of one country, we would have to join the Entente led by Great Britain.

But what profit do we have to make if we join the Entente? The British have taken up more than half of the colonies in the world, the French have also occupied a lot, and the Americans are the last, once they join the Entente, then we can only grab the colonies of the Central Powers, but in Asia, do the Allies have colonies?

After joining the Entente, all we have is to fulfill the obligations of our allies, so as to obtain that meager benefit, but in the end we want to enter the European continent, and the possibility is actually not very large, so why should we join the Entente? To abide by that bullshit agreement that limits our development?

Of course, if we have to join the Entente, it is not impossible, provided that the British must cede some of the colonies to us, otherwise, why should we fight to the death with the Allies for them? Moreover, in the short term, China's strategic center of gravity is not in Europe, so there is no need to deal with them at all, just find an opportunity to directly provoke a war in Europe. Yang Shiqi gave three reasons. Every reason sounds so impeccable.

"Yes, the British do not have any good intentions, and the reason they do this is nothing more than to pull us to their side, but it is clear that the boss has been in this position for a long time, and always thinks that when he waves his hand, others will follow him, but he does not realize that he only gives others obligations, but does not give people benefits." Wang Shizhen also recognized Yang Shiqi's reason.

The future strategy of the Chinese Empire has already been formulated, and everyone is working towards this goal, so there is no need to disrupt their plans because of the British.

Wang Sirui doesn't care about what the war situation in Europe will be in the end, as long as they fight to the death, and then see who is dying, hurry up and take a sip of milk, let them continue to fight, so that the Chinese Empire can benefit from it.

But that's only a long-term strategy, and the short-term strategy is to focus on Asia, how capable is a country? Global domination? It seems that it is possible, but its own base camp must lay a good foundation, Asia is the base camp of the Chinese Empire, and only after integrating Asia into a fist can you worry about other regions.

"The reason why the British are so active, I guess is what they think about the war bond we have raised this time." Yang Shiqi suddenly thought of a possibility, although he was not sure, but he still said it.

Inviting the Chinese Empire to garrison the Balkans will indeed consume a lot of money and resources, but it is far from consuming the entire three billion, so what if you support Russia, the Tibetan forces and Japan? If these places attack the Chinese Empire at the same time, then the Chinese Empire can only deal with it with all its might.

Although Russia was defeated very badly, but the vitality of the Russians is still there, this victory is mainly due to the Russians' own lack of preparation, command errors, and their own excellent equipment, etc., and the Russians have not yet carried out war mobilization, in fact, they have no chance to carry out war mobilization, so preventing the Russians from counterattacking in the future will also be another important task of the Chinese Empire.

And this time the budget of 300 million, of which 1 billion is to be given to the Russian side, which includes 1 million infantry, 10 divisions of armored forces, and an aviation regiment. The remaining billion will remain at home for military expansion, which will also require an increase of one million infantry, ten divisions of armored forces, and as many aviation units as possible.

It is equivalent to using 2 billion funds to make the total strength of the Royal Army reach 5.5 million, and the remaining 100 million, of which 100 million will be allocated to the navy, 500 million will be for domestic infrastructure construction, and 400 million will be for education construction.

That is to say, when these three billion are spent, these plans will be completed, and the Chinese Empire will be able to launch a larger war, which is expected to take a year.

If troops are sent to the Balkans, then where will these military expenses be drawn from? The military aspect is definitely not good, it is a strategic decision of the country, and it cannot be changed in any case, so the only thing that can be pumped out is the infrastructure and education.

Of course, raising 3 billion yuan does not mean that there are really only 3 billion in hand, the 200 million printed this year has not yet been put into the market, plus the surplus money in hand, so the total amount of funds that can be used is about 3.3 billion.

Of course, Wang Sirui still has nearly 1.5 billion US dollars in his hand, which is also 200 million imperial coins, but in addition to the funds that have been invested, the remaining about 1 billion funds have been transferred to Brazil by Wang Sirui.

"Then refuse the invitation of the British, and then proceed according to our plan, and when the two national roads are completed, we will immediately start building other roads, and this time we will have sufficient funds to build the roads between the provincial capitals for the time being." Wang Sirui decided directly.

The current road construction is not like in later generations, everything needs to be paid for, the state does not have so much money, but these roads must also be built, so what to do? In the simplest way, all nationalization or joint ventures, that is, the materials needed to build roads, all in the form of state or joint ventures to build factories and investment, if it is a state-owned factory, then remove all profits, to put it bluntly, there is no profit, the state funds to purchase equipment, pay workers' wages, the factory only needs to work hard, and the products produced are directly pulled away.

If it is a joint venture, it is even simpler, the two parties jointly contribute, according to the output of the country to give the joint venture a certain compensation, wages by the state, and after the completion of the project, in accordance with the normal market to operate.

But this model only exists in theory, the state is not stupid, there is no need to give too many benefits to others at this time, and it does not have much money for itself.

Therefore, this form will basically only appear in the later stage, that is, after the completion of the project, if the state wants to operate itself, it can also be self-operated, and if it does not want to be self-operated, it will be transferred to private management.

The road builders are the people of all over the country, they are responsible for the work, the government takes care of the food, and pays a small amount of wages according to the working hours, although it is not as good as going to work, and it is not as good as doing odd jobs, but there are still many people who do not have a job, and they are also very willing to do the work of road construction.

"By the way, how are car sales?" Wang Sirui suddenly remembered the car, now can be directly put into the market, only cars, most of the building materials are used to build roads, cement is not available on the market at all, this will take a while.

"It's okay, a total of 891 cars were pre-sold, with a profit of 400 yuan each, a total profit of 356,400 yuan, and a total of 270 trucks were sold, with a profit of 4,000 yuan each, and a total profit of 1.08 million yuan, and it is expected that the profit of the automobile industry this year will be about 10 million." Wang Shizhen opened his mouth and summed up, don't ask Wang Shizhen where his confidence came from, because the profit of 1.4364 million is only the result of less than a month after the start of the pre-sale.

The sales of cars are high, but the profits are low, coupled with the improvement of the production process, so that the production cost continues to decrease.

The profit of the truck is high, the main reason is because the production of trucks has a scale, when the cost was high, it was only military, and now the cost is the same as the car, the personnel are experienced, skilled, and the cost will naturally decline, but the truck is not intended to be made into a cheap product, and even the car is going to be a high-end brand next, the road is good, the people have money in their hands, and the sales of cars will naturally soar, which is undoubted.
