One day in early December 1931, the fox broke into Lin Youde's office.

"Look! I'm in a great new outfit! ”

As soon as Lin Youde looked up, when he saw the fox's new clothes, he was not calm.

"Why are you sticking so much money to yourself?"

"Isn't it pretty?" The fox purred around, and this time Lin Youde saw that it was not a dress made of money, but a ready-made dress sewn on it with needle and thread or something.

If you think about it, it's snowing heavily, and it's impossible for even a god to run around in paper clothes. Lin Youde sighed: "Everyone else is trying their best to dress themselves up beautifully, it's good for you to wear the money." ”

"Looks like you don't like it," the fox looked depressed, his tail and ears drooping, "I thought it was a good idea." ”

Lin Youde silently recited three times in his heart, "This must be acting", thus immune to the fox's pathos offensive.

At the same time, Chihiro peeked at Lin Youde's expression through the gap in her bangs, and after discovering that her offensive was ineffective, she pursed her lips, and as soon as she pulled the strap next to her clothes, those colorful tickets fell off her body - it turned out that she had put a layer of smock on the outside of her original skirt, and the tickets hung on the smock.

Chihiro threw a bunch of rubles and crowns on the sofa and sat directly on the corner of Lin Youde's desk.

That style made Lin Youde involuntarily think of the president's articles he had read before the crossing, and the beautiful female secretary in it would definitely sit like this.

The fox casually picked up the snacks that Lin Youde had prepared for himself, and while eating, he pulled out the documents in the pile of documents on the table, and the cookie residues fell everywhere.

"Eh, you're going to give loans to the Principality of Serbia and Romania......"

"It's a loan, but in fact, the loan agreement is greasy, and I don't plan to get the money back." As he spoke, Lin Youde was writing annotations to the document in his hand, so he paused, and only after he finished writing did he continue, "This money is actually aid to these two countries to help them get out of their current predicament. ”

Romania and Serbia are two countries that are relatively less capitalist, so they are far less affected by the financial crisis than the great powers, and as long as they provide sufficient financial support and buy their agricultural products and the like, they can recover some quickly.

"When the situation in these two countries improves a little bit, they will think of other ways to get out of the crisis on their own."

"I guess you mean the dismemberment of the Austro-Hungarian Empire." The fox looked at Lin Youde, put his hand into the furrow in the V-neck, buckled it for a long time, and took out a cookie residue the size of a little thumb nail, and threw it into his mouth.

Lin Youde kept watching the fox rub his breasts, until the fox tidied up the messy clothes, and then took over and said: "Isn't this a matter of course, the current Austro-Hungarian Empire is simply a pile of dry firewood, and a little fire will burst into flames." ”

The Austro-Hungarian Empire was a strange dualist state, which was actually a federation of two states, Hungary and Austria, except that the Hungarian government handed over diplomatic and military power to the imperial government. This strange structure itself has endless troubles, in Lin Youde's original world, before the outbreak of World War I, this empire has actually stepped into the grave with half a foot, even if the First World War does not break out, it will die.

The reason for this result, in addition to the never-ending internal friction between Austria and Hungary, is the most important one ******** – in fact, the question of race. Austria is predominantly German, while Hungarians are predominantly Ugric and Turkic from Scandinavia, and the two countries are culturally different in their own right, and it is only to hell that Franz can live in peace when they are forced together.

Europeans do not have the concept of great unification formed by thousands of years of history in China, nor are they as good at farming as the Han people, and they have planted foreigners as part of the Chinese bloodline - in fact, there is a large amount of Hu blood in the modern Han bloodline.

Therefore, internal friction seriously affected the stability of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but the poison that really poisoned the Austro-Hungarian Empire was the Slavs under the rule of the Empire.

Both Romanians and Serbs belong to the Slavic race, and their beliefs and cultures are inextricably linked to the northern bear.

Russia has never stopped using the human race to dismember Austria-Hungary, and the Slavs themselves have never stopped resisting, and the so-called "Sarajevo Incident", the fuse of World War I, is the embodiment of Serbian ********.

So in the original plane, Archduke Ferdinand—yes, the unlucky guy assassinated in Sarajevo—has been working to bring the Slavs into the Austro-Hungarian parliament and turn the dualistic empire into a triadic empire.

And his efforts were fiercely opposed by the Hungarians, who had hated each other with the Romanians for a long time, so in the original time and space, there are also theories that Hungary planned the Sarajevo incident.

In this time and space, due to the existence of the goddess, Romania did not become independent from the Austro-Hungarian Empire until the Balkan War in 1909, with the support of the Tsarist Empire, which gave birth to the legend of the "Wallachian Black Blood", it is said that the only Romanian goddess has never appeared in front of people, and everyone who has seen her has died - because of this, she has escaped the Austro-Hungarian newborn goddess bloodline screening test.

The Black Blood Queen only strikes at night, and no one has ever really seen her face.

Lin Youde estimated that this was either a vampire or a werewolf.

The Duchy of Serbia, which did not have its own god, only became independent under the protection of Russia after the defeat of Austria-Hungary. Because the Austro-Hungarian Empire refused to return the only goddess of Serbian descent to the Principality of Serbia, and continued to occupy Sarajevo, the birthplace of the main goddess in the Serb settlement, and the surrounding areas, Serbia is still a small Balkan country, completely lacking the style of the peninsula tyrant who traversed several Balkan wars in the previous time and space.

But despite this, the Principality of Serbia was still trying to instigate the independence of the Serbs within the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Romanians, with the help of a powerful goddess and the help of Russia, were pressing on Hungary step by step, and were always looking forward to the annexation of the Romanian settlements in the territory of the Kingdom of Hungary into their own territory.

Although the presence of the goddess slowed the decline of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it still did not prevent the country from going to the grave.

Lin Youde didn't mind being a jackal who ate carrion, and he thought that after the collapse of the empire, Germany should at least annex Austria, which was of the same origin.

In addition, the Czech Republic, which has a fairly good industrial base, also has to do everything possible to get its hands on it.

Based on this idea, Lin Youde decided to provide assistance to Romania and Serbia to strengthen them and speed up their process of dismantling Austria-Hungary.

Of course, Lin Youde had another way, that is, to take advantage of the fact that his ideas were now rampant within the Austro-Hungarian Empire to export revolution to this feudal country.

But Lin Youde is a "person who has come over", he knows how the powers of time and space encircled and suppressed Red Russia in the last time, but the Russian giant bear is too large, and the countries that have just experienced World War I are far from recovering, so Russia has survived the encirclement and got a chance to breathe and develop.

The situation facing Germany is very different now, although the great powers are in a deep economic crisis, but after more than ten years of recuperation, most of their vitality has recovered - not to mention that the war in this time and space is far less fierce than the original time and space. And the existence of the Divine Queen and the Magic Technique also put Germany in a state of powerlessness to resist the encirclement: there are only two Divine Queens in Germany who are now intact, and they can't even contain them in the face of the group of Divine Queens who have just arrived in the cardamom years of their lives.

More importantly, Russia is still an imperial system in this time and space, and if the worst happens, it will definitely stand on the opposite side of Germany, and Germany will have to fall into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts again.

Considering these considerations, Lin Youde had no choice but to abandon his plan to export the revolution, and the previous adjustment of the propaganda direction and the deletion of the "Declaration of Humanity" were also based on the same considerations.

Lin Youde knew that when the worst happened, the majority of ordinary laborers would definitely pick up guns again and protect their homes and the fruits of their labor without hesitation, so he was determined to avoid this worst situation no matter what.

He cannot live up to the trust placed in him by the masses.

So he could only let Austria-Hungary collapse naturally and speed up the process with aid.

Anyway, he's not short of money right now.

Matsudaira Chihiro finished eating the last biscuit, pushed the biscuit box to the side, and the whole person took advantage of the situation to lie on Lin Youde's desk, with a posture of not letting him continue to work.

"Na, I've been thinking about a question for the past few months," the fox raised his head slightly, his eyes looked up at Lin Youde from the direction of the table, and his tail and calves swayed together, "What's the matter with your second money magic?" The first magic trick should be understood by many people, and the second magic trick has not even been revealed in the public eye, I am afraid that even many old capitalists and businessmen are not aware of its existence, how did you do it? What happened in between? ”

"Didn't I tell you?"

"Yes, I've told you about it, but there's one thing I haven't understood." The fox twisted her thin waist and squirmed on the table, bringing herself closer to Lin Youde, this action pulled her V-neck lower, and more white was exposed under Lin Youde's nose, "You see, suppose a capitalist comes to you with a foreign exchange worth 1 unit, and you give him a paper mark worth 1 unit, so if you calculate it, you still only have 1 unit of value in your hand, and your wealth has not increased at all." But in reality, you're getting more money......"

Lin Youde shook his head.

"You, I always thought you were smart, and now I'm starting to doubt it. Listen," Lin Youde took out a paper mark from his drawer, "this thing is just a piece of paper, it has no value. It is only a voucher that can be circulated as money because of the trust of the people in the person who issued it. That's the key to everything. When a capitalist comes to me with 1 unit of foreign exchange, most of the banknotes I give him are originally in circulation and returned to us by other means, and the other part is newly printed, and the value equal to the face value of this part of the newly printed banknotes is intercepted by me. Now you get it? In fact, this is the same reason as the previous release of paper marks, but this time it is just a hidden way. In addition, the last issue of paper marks benefited the whole of Germany, and now it is only us who benefit. ”

"Ah, that's right." Chihiro Matsudaira nodded repeatedly, "I see, so we're actually plundering, right?" ”

"So to speak."

After listening to Lin Youde's answer, Matsudaira Chihiro showed a disappointed expression: "What, I thought you were on the side of the lower-class people, but in the end you are still a clever and robbing guy." ”

Lin Youde said, "You are embarrassed to accuse me", he glanced at the fox's disappointed expression, and said, "Of course I am on the side of the lower-class people." It's just that I'm more realistic. I ...... when I was younger."

"You're young now, too!" The fox interrupted Lin Youde's words with an innocent look.

Lin Youde pursed his lips and changed his words impatiently: "Okay, I ...... when I was young."

"You mean the era when you still wore open crotch pants?"

"......" Lin Youde looked at the fox with his tongue stuck out and said, "It's okay when you're breastfeeding, right?" ”

"Ahh You suddenly make such a request, and the concubine can't do it! ”

Lin Youde held his forehead: "Do you still want to listen to me?" ”

"Yes!" The fox raised his right hand like a schoolboy struggling to answer a question.

Lin Youde sighed: "I used to have a grand ideal like Du Fu......"

"The one in the Ander Building?"

"Pretty much. In short, I want to build a utopia where everyone has enough food and clothing, no oppression, no class, or something. But then I found out that this is unrealistic, as long as there are individual differences and selfishness, human society will definitely become a pyramid structure. It can only be said that the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny. ”

Lin Youde's humor from the future made the fox laugh heartily.

After the fox finished laughing, Lin Youde continued: "So my ideals have changed. If I can't get everybody to live in a house of gold, and I can't let everybody live in a house of earth, then I'll drive the people who live in the house of gold into the house of silver, and tear down the house of gold, and build a house of stone for everybody who remains. ”

The fox changed his serious expression and looked at Lin Youde, but did not speak.

Lin Youde waited for a while, and shrugged his shoulders a little embarrassedly: "That's what I think, maybe you think this is hypocrisy, and it is the self-comfort of people in high positions, but ...... Anyway, that's what I thought. ”

"I think that's good, you'll be able to do that." Matsudaira Chihiro smiled softly at Lin Youde, "However, once your time is over, the distance that you have managed to get closer will increase again, and the people you drove into the silver house will drive the people in the stone house back into the earthen house or even the thatched house, and then they will build the gold house again." ”

As he spoke, the fox stretched out his hand and gently stroked Lin Youde's chin with stubble.

"Everything you do will become meaningless."

Lin Youde sighed.

"I know that there is nothing new under the sun, and the same thing has happened many times in history. However, in this way, I can at least leave a 'virtuous king' evaluation in history. ”

"Ah......h......h

She bit down on the word "king".

"Sure enough, the ultimate dream of a Chinese man is to be an emperor!"

"Uh......" Lin Youde wanted to defend himself, but unfortunately the fox didn't give him this chance at all.

"Wouldn't I be the queen in that case? No, no, the queen must be little Viola! Ahh It's just a little too late, and I'm going to be subservient! Be happy, hug it! ”

“…… Can you not always act so exaggerated? ”

As soon as Lin Youde finished speaking, the fox stumbled off the table and rolled to the ground, rolling on the ground while shouting: "Happy to be happy, you want to hug!" You want to hug it! ”

And Lin Youde looked at the fox rolling in a posture that was involuntarily reminiscent of some kind of black and white chubby animal, and suddenly felt that she looked very eye-catching like this, so he stopped talking and watched her roll intently.

After rolling for a while, the fox was finally convinced that Lin Youde didn't plan to pay attention to her, so he sat up and looked at Lin Youde with a pout.

Lin Youde looked at her for a while and sighed.

"I'll cook you fried tofu today."

"Hooray!" The fox cheered, and a smile bloomed on his face.
