"Look, how good this is, it's not that they won't be allowed to play, but they have to play according to the rules we set for them, it's okay to sell some cotton, grain, etc., but not to sell industrial products! That's what we're supposed to sell. "Emperor Yang was very satisfied with the choice of the Americans.

The United States has a vast land, until modern times they have wasteland, there is no pressure to feed 50 million farmers, after this blow, there will be more American investors to go to open up wasteland and farm, and when the war is over, the United States will basically become an agricultural country, and then watch a little more diligently, as long as their industry improves, they will immediately do it again, just like driving sheep to drive all Americans to the farms, so that they can forget the disturbances of the outside world in a quiet and peaceful rural life. Forget the dreams that were once within reach.

"As for the future?" Ye Zi asked curiously, she didn't believe that her husband was so kind, and hoped that the American people would live in peace and tranquility forever!

"As for the future, a sheep will only raise wool from time to time if it is obedient, and if it is disobedient, it will be killed and eaten directly." Yang Feng said with a cruel smile. In fact, if the United States can obediently be a little sheep in the future, he is indeed not ready to harm the country again, after all, China's own arable land is too small, and if he does the law like he is now, he will definitely have to continue to import a large amount of grain from outside to feed his people, and a huge agricultural plantation of millions of square kilometers is completely suitable for his needs.

As for the occupation of the United States, at least in the current situation, it is not realistic, even if it can succeed, it will require the mobilization of millions of troops, and it will also need to face the problem of control in the future, the Yankees have been deeply rooted in the idea of freedom, and they can be induced and persecuted against these guys, but it is better not to try to oppress them, which will provoke their rebellion. Given the country's barbarism and the proliferation of guns, which could plunge China into a Vietnam-like quagmire, a smart empire must try to avoid such a thankless task.

If tens of millions of Chinese can be immigrated to the United States, then it doesn't matter what province this country will continue to call the United States of America or the Chinese Empire, but it will take time, and it may even take several generations, and it is estimated that it will be good to be able to see it before you close your eyes, and China has only a population of more than 400 million people. It's pretty much the same if you flip through it again.

In this way, China's birth rate is still not enough, and it has only increased by less than 50 million since he became emperor, which is simply an intolerable thing.

"Let the cabinet study a policy to encourage childbearing, and give subsidies for having children in the future, and the more children you have, the more subsidies you will have, and parents who have more than five children will be given the status of honorable citizens." Emperor Yang said with a wise face.

Ye Zi looked at him speechlessly, she really didn't understand why Yang Feng was so concerned about the issue of women having children, in fact, the first generation of children born after Yang Feng ascended the throne was becoming a heavy burden on the state finances, because all the free compulsory education until middle school. The Ministry of Finance has to spend a huge amount of money on education every year, and it would not be possible to sustain it without the royal family's financial support.

However, on this issue, both the Diet and the Cabinet overwhelmingly supported His Majesty the Emperor. It's not like there is still some opinion on the issue of military expansion.

"How's Paris playing now?" Yang Feng suddenly asked, the new continent basically has nothing to worry about, and now it's time to turn his gaze back to the old continent.

"Paris? I guess there is almost no Paris at this time! Ye Zi said with a happy smile.

At this time, it is indeed difficult to say whether there is Paris or not, and the German and French armies have been fighting fiercely for more than a month. Millions of shells fell from both sides alone, turning Europe's second-largest city into ruins and still raging. The Germans have now occupied the entire north bank of the Seine. However, it was very difficult for them to move forward, in order to block their advance, the French blew up all the bridges on the Seine, including the Alexander III Bridge, which had just been built less than five years ago, and these bridges were completely bombed, and the most important new bridge was only a bunch of piers, and the Germans wanted to attack south, so they could only take the way of forcibly crossing the river, which was obviously extremely difficult under the tight defense of hundreds of thousands of French troops on the opposite side.

And by now, the German army has also been exhausted, the soldiers and officers of the three armies under Moltke Jr. are about to change, and the entire 300,000 German troops are filled in this huge meat grinder, of course, the same is true of the French army opposite them, the French casualties are more than 500,000, and if you count the civilian casualties, it is estimated that at least 700,000.

Neither side has the ability to completely defeat the other, so they can only vent their hatred with cannonballs across the Seine, so that the suffering of the city of Paris is even deeper, hundreds of thousands of shells of various calibers shuttle through the sky every day, and the sound of huge explosions does not stop for a moment, especially those super-large caliber siege guns, with the explosion of the sky and the earth, the ruins of the city become like a meteor shower hitting the surface of the moon. As for the iconic buildings that once represented the beauty of Parisian art, most of them have been completely destroyed in the war, including the Louvre, which was hit by a single 155mm shell, and it was fought by the French themselves, which is not surprising, and it is not unusual for a battle of this magnitude to have a few stray bullets that deviate from the target.

Now a number of European scholars, including Chinese scholars, are launching a campaign to defend Paris under the leadership of the famous scientist Curry and his wife, calling on Germany and France to stop fighting in Paris and not let this beautiful city disappear into the flames of war.

"That's right," Emperor Yang pondered for a moment and then asked, "What is the British army doing now?" ”

"The British army has now increased to 500,000 troops, but William has added an army group to Prince Leopold, although it cannot contain all the British troops at present, but at least it can make the British army unable to really threaten Moltke's flank, and William has also added an army group to Moltke Jr., and now this army group is blocking the British army's attack on Moltke Jr., but if the British continue to increase their troops, the situation of the Germans will be difficult to say." Ye Zi said.

"What about the Russian army?" Yang Feng asked again.

"The Russian army has now expanded to three million, of which one million has been put into the Romanian battlefield, but because the combat effectiveness is too poor, there is no hope of breaking through the defense line of the German Oro coalition, and the other million is in the Austro-Lunar battlefield, but the Austro-Hungarian army with the Carpathian defense is very solid, at least for now, there is no hope for the Russian army to break through, not to mention the East Prussian direction, according to our intelligence analysis, the German army may even launch a counterattack, but the scale will not be too large, after all, the gap between the two sides is too big." Ye Zi said.

"In this case, the suffering of the people of Paris should not continue, and as a peace-loving scientist, writer, artist, the Empress and I should also contribute to the defense of Paris, and if you contact the Curies, they will say that the Empress and I will join their joint name." Emperor Yang said with a sense of justice on his face.

Ye Zi looked at him inexplicably.

"You see, if you continue to fight, the Germans will probably lose." Yang Feng said earnestly.

Ye Zi immediately understood.

Indeed, according to the current shape, as the Russian army's offensive on the Eastern Front intensifies, it will be difficult for Germany to draw enough troops to support the Western Front, but the British army is constantly arriving, if the conscription is opened, it is not a big problem for Britain to arm three million troops, so that as the Entente continues to strengthen on the two fronts, Germany will always have a day when it will not be able to hold on, and then it is very likely to become a rout, and the German army with heavy losses may even be unable to continue the war, which is not good, What China needs is a protracted stalemate among the European powers, and only then will it be able to buy supplies from China in a steady stream.

It doesn't really matter to China who wins or loses, what matters to China is the course of the war, or the length of the war, the longer it drags on, the better, if it lasts for ten years, then the Chinese capitalists will dance, and if it fights for five years, they will be happy, but if it only fights for one year, it is estimated that many people will cry.

The current German government is not expected to be blind to the danger it faces, but it is certainly not possible to admit the defeat of the Battle of Paris, whether it is for the sake of face or morale, even if Paris has become a ruin, they will continue to fight for this ruin.

And the French are also exhausted, and they certainly don't want to continue fighting, knowing that this is their homeland, and it is their property that is destroyed, but they also cannot tolerate the city falling into the hands of the Germans, even if it has become ruins, which is a symbol, a symbol of the spirit of the French.

So at the moment both sides need to go down a step.

Then give them this step.

"Sue the couple Curie, let's just say that my mention is that the German and French armies withdrew from Paris at the same time, of course, Paris is still French territory, but the French government wants to declare Paris an undefended city, and the French army will no longer enter Paris in the future, even if the military movement must be bypassed, and the German army will no longer enter Paris." Yang Feng said with a smile.

In fact, this is the original idea of the French government, but under the pressure of the allies and the main wave of domestic war, it finally chose to fight Paris with the Germans, and now it is just back to the original point, but unfortunately the cost of turning this circle is too great, more than half of the buildings in Paris have been destroyed, hundreds of thousands of civilians and soldiers have been killed and wounded, it is estimated that the French president will cry when he thinks of this.
