Chapter 705: War Without Gunpowder

readx;

After the end of World War II, the Chinese Empire was in an absolute position of military and economic hegemony. www.biquge.info Although the Chinese Empire has the ability to completely destroy the German Federation and NATO, the people of the whole world yearn for peace, and in this environment, the Chinese Empire, which has always prided itself on being civilized, democratic, and peaceful, does not dare to risk the condemnation of the world to ignite the flames of world war again.

At the same time, Hitler's pursuit of economic integration in Europe and his exaggeration of the Eastern threat theory made Westerners full of hostility towards the Chinese Empire, and made the Chinese Empire extremely cautious and cautious in its military operations. It is a taboo for soldiers to be the enemy of the entire Western world, and it is not in the national interests of the Chinese Empire.

Relying on the strong economic power of the Chinese Empire, it launched an economic war against the German Union without gunpowder, thus becoming the first large-scale offensive launched by the Chinese Empire in the Cold War era.

The economic revival of the European Community, led by the German Union, must first begin with the post-war economic reconstruction of European countries. For the people's livelihood, the German Union must be put in the first place, otherwise without the support of the people, Hitler's Western pattern of great harmony will be self-defeating. To this end, the first project of the post-war economic reconstruction of the German Union is to restore people's livelihood and solve the basic living problems of the European people, that is, the four basic problems of clothing, food, housing and transportation.

However, Europe was the main battlefield of World War II, and almost all of the country's infrastructure was severely damaged by the war. On the one hand, the light industry used for the people's livelihood was destroyed, and on the other hand, the long-term war depleted the military resources of various countries, and they had to replenish the strong men, resulting in a sharp reduction in the number of people engaged in agriculture and light industry. And countries only pay attention to the development of heavy industry for the sake of war, which is one of the reasons for the abandonment of light industry. Journey through the novel sj131.

Among them, the German light industry is the worst. Basically, the ** out of ten disappears. It could also be replenished from other countries during the war, and millions of Germans slept on the streets after the war. No clothing, no food, no hunger.

For this reason, Germany had to exchange goods within the member states of the German Union. Heavy industry products from Germany are exchanged for light industrial products such as food from other countries. But other countries were not wealthy, and as a result, Germany's heavy industry products became very cheap and were basically exchanged at a discount.

Even so, there is an extreme shortage of light industrial products in the entire Commonwealth of German countries.

And the only thing that could provide the Commonwealth of German countries with abundant light industrial products was naturally the Chinese Empire. As the only super-economic power in the world after the war, the Chinese Empire was not damaged by the war, so it was very rich in various materials.

In the plan of economic revenge against the German Commonwealth countries formulated by the cabinet of the Chinese Empire, the plundering of heavy industrial raw materials and products of the German countries with cheap light industrial products became an important part of the economic war.

For example, a ton of rice sold for only 300 dragon coins in the Chinese Empire. The price of selling to the Commonwealth of Germany doubles to 600 dragon coins. The original price of an ordinary piece of fabric was 50 dragon coins, but when sold to the German Union, it doubled to 120 dragon coins. The same is true for all kinds of other light industrial products, which are generally sold to the Commonwealth of German countries at more than twice the price. In order to ensure that the Warsaw Pact countries were united, the Chinese Empire established a unified price list for the export materials of the countries in the Warsaw Pact system, so that the German countries could not find a second low-price seller.

The Warsaw Pact bloc monopolized the price, forcing NATO countries to endure exploitation. It is clear that NATO countries simply do not have that much money to pay. Therefore, they can only sell their heavy industrial products and raw materials such as coal, iron, and copper at a low price. High-quality copper ore with a market value of 200 dragon coins. The Warsaw Pact countries were depressed to 90 dragon coins, causing NATO countries to suffer huge losses.

Knowing that it was being exploited, the German Union countries had no choice but to endure the most difficult period and wait for their country's light industry to recover.

In the three years from 1944 to 1946, the Warsaw Pact countries plundered a total of 2.3 trillion dragon dollars from NATO countries. Throwing out the costs, the direct economic losses of NATO countries amounted to more than 730 billion dragon dollars. The Chinese Empire made a profit of 650 billion dragon coins.

From the second half of 1946 onwards, the light industry system in the Commonwealth of German countries gradually recovered. Dependence on light industrial materials from the Warsaw Pact has dropped significantly.

But soon, the Warsaw Pact countries, led by the Chinese Empire, began to carry out large-scale commodity dumping against the Commonwealth of Germany. Warsaw Pact goods hit the European Community market at an average price of nearly 10% lower than the average cost of production of goods in NATO countries, and dealt a heavy blow to the light industry of the Commonwealth of German countries. This led to the large-scale closure and bankruptcy of light industrial factories in various countries on the European continent.

In response to the economic aggression of the Warsaw Pact countries, NATO acted quickly. Trade barriers were erected throughout the European continent, and 200% tariffs were imposed on goods from Warsaw Pact countries, thereby protecting the light industry of European countries to a certain extent.

The Chinese Empire's economic war against the German Union was multifaceted. In addition to light industry, heavy industry is also one of the priorities.

In post-war Europe, although its heavy industry was more important than light industry, it also suffered serious damage. The post-war reconstruction of Europe required a large number of heavy industrial products such as steel, cement, and petrochemicals. Although Europe itself has solved most of the demand, it is difficult to support petrochemicals such as petrochemicals.

During World War II, in order to break the oil monopoly of the Chinese Empire, Germany established a series of coal-fired oil factories in China. Although these coal-fired oils solved a large amount of Germany's fuel demand during the war, the cost was enormous, several times the price of crude oil. During the war, Germany had no choice, but after the war, the economic reconstruction, and the high cost of coal-fired oil seriously slowed down the economic recovery process.

Although the German Union restored the Romanian oil region and Tsarist Russia also produced oil in the country, it could not meet the oil consumption of the whole of Europe. Thus, this gave the Chinese Empire the opportunity to once again manipulate oil to invade Europe.

The Chinese Empire first manipulated the world's oil production and sent it to Europe at a low price. At one time, the cost of imported oil in Europe was less than half of that of domestic oil and less than two-thirds of the price of coal-fired oil in Germany, which led to many countries abandoning coal-chemical oil projects and even stopping oil imports from Romania and the former Soviet Union, resulting in the large-scale collapse of European coal-chemical oil plants, and Romanian crude oil companies lost millions of dragon dollars every day.

By 1946, 90% of Europe's oil needs were imported internationally. As a result, the Chinese Empire once again manipulated international oil production to reduce oil production, raise oil prices, and continue to exploit European countries.

After several years of post-war reconstruction, the German countries were severely exploited by the Warsaw Pact countries led by the Chinese Empire, but the economies of the countries have recovered. The economic model of the former Soviet Union in Germany has developed rapidly. Journey through the novel sj131.

In 1947, Germany's GDP reached 61.5 billion dragon dollars, returning to its pre-war level. Although it is still more than seven times lower than the huge GDP of the Chinese Empire, which is the world's largest empire of 455 billion dragon dollars, the speed of Germany's economic development is obvious to all.

In the face of the rapid rise of the German economy, the Chinese empire naturally raised its vigilance.
