Chapter 350: Peace Conference (4)

The people on the streets didn't seem to be aware of the impending war, and they continued to live their old lives, shopping, playing, going to school, working, dating, ......

By the end of the 30s of the 20th century, the citizens of the Eastern European Union were really busy, various industries enriched people's lives, and the increase in consumption levels and salaries also made people more and more greedy for enjoyment and fear of death.

In fact, he also knows very well that this day will come sooner or later, because the future is not the future of individual quality but the future of science and technology, no matter how good a general has military ability, no matter how fierce the soldiers are, but after all, this is still no match for the power of a nuclear bomb.

Of course, even if he was well aware of this, Ernst still hoped that the army's defeat would come later, after all, it was not the era of technology, after all, there was still a big war in front of him.

The army of the Eastern European Union has always seemed to live in an independent world, and they are completely disconnected from the outside world, which is also a choice that Ernst has to make in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, but this also causes a large number of retired soldiers to be unable to adapt to this society at all.

Ernst could only apologize for this incident and compensate them financially, at least for the period of time when they were able to adapt to society without worrying about food and drink, and having the financial ability to enjoy everything that society had to offer.

The military of the Eastern European Union has a social security payment, which was established for those soldiers who are unable to adapt to society, and this security is not actually cash but a two-year voucher for all sectors of society, including entertainment, catering, and so on.

Moreover. Many members of the military do not have a stable job after they retire. The local government will take the lead in arranging for them to work in various industries for a period of one to three weeks. After more than five jobs have been replaced, the government will make the choice of resettlement according to their wishes.

The status of the soldiers of the Eastern European Union is very high, this is internationally known, and the local government does not dare to have the slightest slack in the treatment of these retired soldiers, let alone say anything unfair, you must know that the treatment of soldiers is unfair, and the maximum penalty is 20 years of heavy labor.

There is no death penalty in the Eastern European Union, but in reality these punishments are really more cruel than the death penalty, because very few prisoners can last five years without dying of exhaustion. This is the real life is worse than death, and the government is still squeezing out their last use.

With more than 100,000 criminals in exchange for the entire Eastern European Union's railroad and hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war for the economic development of the Far East, Ernst has always been very satisfied with his own policies, even if in the eyes of many, Ernst is a complete tyrant, because he is repeating the slave society.

Prisoners and prisoners of war are almost slaves, of course, prisoners of war are treated better, the same maximum sentence of 20 years, almost half of the prisoners of war survive, and 20 years of heavy labor can last for 5 years is a miracle.

Ernst just smiled and ignored the title of tyrant, which he actually liked very much. Because he thinks that people who can become tyrants are generally very capable. Washington in the United States, Qin Shi Huang and King Su in the East, these guys who are called tyrants by the outside world. They all have their own brilliance.

The economy is developing, the times are progressing, and the biggest change in Warsaw may be the Warsaw International Airport, the importance of Airbus is becoming more and more obvious, such as the Warsaw International Peace Conference, most of the heads of state and presidents take air transport instead of trains and ships, because they are relatively less safe.

After two years of development, Warsaw Air has established its own routes in major international cities around the world, and more than 80 large passenger aircraft are serving Warsaw Air, it is worth mentioning that Warsaw Air is not a state-owned enterprise, but a public-private joint venture.

In fact, not only Warsaw Airlines, but also many companies in the Eastern European Alliance have become public-private partnerships, which is an inevitable threshold that the times need to pass, and Ernst is not at a loss, and even because most of the companies are listed, the wealth of the royal family has increased by more than five times.

Ernst's status naturally does not worry about anything because of having a huge amount of wealth, but he also has a headache, just because it is not a good thing that a large amount of wealth is gathered in one person or a family, after all, only what is spent is the euro, and what is left in his hand is waste paper. Gold? The same goes for gold, if you spend it, it's called gold, and if you can't spend it, it's called a precious metal.

There is no way, Ernst can only buy a large number of luxury goods and precious metals and antiques and other things, even Ernst himself feels a little incredible, the antiques he has purchased in the past few years have supported thirteen large international museums, and these thirteen international museums directly occupy the top fifteen among the world's top 100 museums.

Because of the actions of the royal family, the world's luxury and antique industry suddenly flourished, and a large number of antiques and luxury goods have a tendency to premium, which Ernst did not expect.

The world is very difficult to pass because of the economic depression, but the Eastern European Union is still very rich and even going in the direction of getting richer, if the economic trend can be seen with the naked eye, then it is obvious that the world's wealth is now beginning to converge towards the Eastern European Union.

Wealthy businessmen were very dissatisfied and worried about the economic conditions at home, but the Eastern European Union was the only one...... This has also led to a large number of listed companies in the Eastern European Union have been in a state of rising and rising, and shareholders are frantically grabbing the wealth that does not belong to them in the stock market.

This is a deformed stock market economy, and Ernst is very worried about it, but those financial tycoons don't seem to be worried, and they have reason not to worry, because the current financial explosion of the Eastern European Union is not accidental or accidental, it is purely the accumulation of the industry of the Eastern European Union, and it is a financial trap.

The power of finance may not be felt in the more remote cities, but Warsaw is very clear, not to mention other small things, easy transportation makes it impossible to raise prices there, and fixed items such as houses, Warsaw has risen to an incredible level.

Ernst was worried about a real estate crisis, so he kept prices in check, but even so, the price of an apartment in Warsaw was staggering to wealthy foreign businessmen. Naturally, the presidents of the countries knew about this when they wandered the streets, and they laughed inwardly, believing that this was a fatal hole in Warsaw's economy.

In recent years, because of the rise in housing prices, many wealthy people have suddenly appeared in Warsaw, and they are all beneficiaries of the increase in housing prices. With this part of the money, they go around the stock market, and when they come out again, some even become millionaires directly, and then buy land, build apartments, and sell houses to become a cycle.

A small number of discerning people can see the loopholes in this, but everyone is lucky, thinking that retribution will not come so quickly, and they will not continue after completing this project. The first time they thought like this, the second time they thought like this, so naturally, there was a third time, a fourth time, maybe until the crisis came, they could really wake up.

Of course, it is true that the citizens of Warsaw are very wealthy, and the heads of state and presidents abroad see this very clearly, and they are naturally very envious and jealous at the same time.

Walking around Warsaw, they don't seem to find any poor people here, the whole street is full of luxury shops, high-end restaurants, four- and five-star hotels, and mid-range restaurants are almost a rarity here, just because with the increase of rich people in recent years, there are really no customers in mid-range restaurants.

Sitting in a high-end restaurant, the high-ranking officials of several small countries looked at the prices of the dishes on the menu with some trepidation, and the ordinary Warsaw citizens around seemed to order expensive dishes and coffee very casually.

At this time, they almost all have the same idea in their hearts, whether they want to emigrate to the Eastern European Union, not for anything else, but for the prosperity and life here. Fearful to collect some gifts and cash here and spend in fear, and the citizens here ......

What these high-ranking officials did not know was that Warsaw as a whole was not without poor people, and of course this poor man meant that the poor people in Warsaw were actually richer than the rich people in other places. There are no mid-range restaurants in Warsaw because the poor people are either not going out, and they must be prepared to hemorrhage, which makes those mid-range restaurants unable to survive.

The citizens living in Warsaw also have their own pride, they do not want others to look down on them, and a deformed idea of wealth fills their hearts, and they want to publicize their wealth and their superiority to the outside world, which is the common idea of most Warsaw citizens.

That's why it's hard to see the poor in Warsaw, and all you see is wealth, but one thing is true, salaries in Warsaw are much, much higher than in other places, and the only ones that can compare to them are probably only a few international metropolises such as Prague.

After a walk around Warsaw, the attitude of the presidents and heads of state has obviously changed a lot when the peace conference is almost convened, of course, these are only the heads of state and presidents of small countries, and they have long been clear about the situation in Warsaw for big countries like Britain, France and the United States, but they are not as detailed as they are now.

At noon, the British Prime Minister visited the Warsaw Stock Exchange, where the water was red so that the British Prime Minister couldn't help but be a little scared, but after a while, the British Prime Minister who hid his identity found that an ordinary citizen next to him had earned more than 2,000 euros from the stock market.

Speaking of the stock market of the Eastern European Union, to be honest, the public-private joint-stock system is not worried about being controlled by others, the main reason is that the joint shares of the royal family and the government are generally more than 60 percent, and a small number of less than 60 percent are companies that have no impact.

The French president went to a different place than the British prime minister, he was a lover of literature and art, and he came to the largest museum in the whole of Europe and even the whole of the world, the Royal Museum in Warsaw. Eighty percent of the items here are treasured by the royal family, and the dazzling array of items directly blinds the eyes of the French president. (To be continued.) )
