In fact, after the end of the civil war, the propaganda organs controlled by Lin Youde quietly changed the direction of their work.

After the workers' Red Guards were discharged and returned to the fields, all the former commanders became the new trade union leaders, and the new trade unions began to propagate "creating a better tomorrow with labor" under the unified deployment of the "German Trade Union Alliance".

Not only that, Lin Youde also used the same team that used to print wartime pamphlets to start the "Deutsche Workers' Daily", on which he wrote a series of editorials, branding all the capitalists who had excessively oppressed the workers in the past as "feudal remnants" and "accomplices of the Junker landlord class", while the capitalists in the south turned into progressive forces fighting side by side with the workers.

This propaganda was widely answered, and the workers' thinking was simple and straightforward: the capitalists who gave us a wage increase must be good people, and the previous ones who were desperately trying to squeeze their blood and sweat became especially hateful.

Lin Youde's abridged version of the Manifesto of Humanity further classifies intellectuals, progressive factory owners, and workers and peasants as "great mortals."

As a result of extensive publicity, social contradictions in Germany have been greatly eased, and this has created excellent conditions for the all-round recovery of the German economy.

But what Lin Youde didn't expect was that his side began to adjust the caliber of propaganda, but there was no way to stop the fire he lit.

Vienna, the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

While Germany was thriving next door, there was a famine all over Austria. Serb uprisings in the grain-producing regions of southern Austria, combined with drought and poor agricultural machinery, combined to bring Vienna to a depression.

The City of Music has long since run out of music, and hungry crowds take to the streets to protest twice a day, and then are kept out of the palace by the King's Knights of War Queen.

On the street, where there are almost no pedestrians, there are people walking briskly, looking around vigilantly as they go.

Soon, he came to an unassuming building and pressed the button on the doorbell. When the doorbell was over, he raised his hand and struck a string of drums on the door.

Only secret activists in Vienna use the rhythm of Mendelssohn's symphonies as a code to enter the door.

As soon as the door opened, the activist entered, and then a middle-aged woman poked her head out of the door, carefully surveyed the street, and made sure that nothing was going on before closing the door.

Inside the door, the visitor handed his hat to the woman who opened the door and asked loudly, "What about the others?" ”

"It's all here." The woman snorted as she rushed up the stairs leading to the basement.

**

In the basement, the printing press roared, spitting out patches of printed propaganda materials.

The young man, who was inspecting the finished product, heard footsteps, picked up the pistol on the table in front of him, and turned his alert gaze to the entrance to the basement. After seeing the people who had entered the door, he lowered his gun.

"It's Jacob, it's just in time, how do you feel about this new poster we printed?"

The young man picked up a finished paper and handed it to the man who walked up to him.

"Not bad, Tony." Jacob put down the poster, then pulled a thin booklet out of his crotch.

"What is this?" Tony asked curiously.

"The Declaration of Humanity from Germany," Jacob shoved the pamphlet into Tony's hand and patted him on the shoulder, "stop printing the poster and start printing this at once, a lot of it, until all the ink and paper in our hands are gone." ”

Tony looked at the pamphlet in his hand, and then at the posters piled up on the table, and it seemed that he was very reluctant to stop printing the posters—it was all a proud work of his own hard work.

But Jacob had already turned off the power to the printing press and began to give instructions to several other comrades.

Tony shook his head and opened the booklet he had just gotten his hands on.

Probably because of the need to avoid the customs inspection of the printed matter, the inner pages of this booklet were terribly wrinkled, many words were discolored, and there were water stains on the edges, and I don't know where the road was placed.

Tony carefully kept his fingers out of the water and flipped the title page to read the text.

After a moment he slammed the table and exclaimed, "That's so well written!" Especially this one. ”

He couldn't suppress his excitement, ran directly onto the table, raised his arms and shouted: "Now let's shout, natural human rights!" Let the light of technology replace the grace of God! ”

Jacob glanced at the excited painter, shook his head slightly, and said, "Pay attention to the image, it is said that this is a censored version to take care of the emotions of the high-ranking and royal families of other countries, and the original version is more radical." You're so excited to see this version now, and one day you'll see the original version and you'll die of excitement? ”

"Ever since I joined the revolution, I have always been ready to dedicate myself to our cause." Tony jumped off the table, "We can't just print it like this, I'm going to illustrate this booklet, it must be better." ”

As he spoke, he pulled his drawing board from the side, took out his drawing kit from under the table, and began to prepare for painting. Jacob looked at Tony, turned to the others, and said, "Don't line up the covers, but before our great painter paints a satisfactory cover, you can arrange the rest of the booklet." ”

With that, Jacob returned to his desk, pulled out a chair and sat down, and began to fiddle with the cylinder of the typewriter, ready to start writing his own essay.

It was not enough to print underground pamphlets, but it was necessary to use newspapers to win over the intelligents of the upper echelons of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Jacob, knowing this, began to contemplate an editorial for tomorrow's Vienna Libre.

At this time, the painter who was grading colors gently hummed the melody of "The Internationale".

Jacob glanced at the painter with a frown, but didn't say anything to stop him. Instead, he began to shake his legs and shake to the melody of the song, and the opening of the editorial popped up in Jacob's head.

He immediately tapped the keys of the typewriter and turned the sentence into a sentence on a paper tube.

In September 1931, something similar happened in many countries.

In Warsaw, the capital of Poland, workers who had nothing to do nibbled on hard, questionable bread while they listened to German-speaking workers translating newspaper articles from the German side.

In Bucharest, the capital of Romania, a young professor is quietly translating Lin Youde's "Declaration of Humanity".

In France, the Jacques family, representing the interests of the peasants and the petty bourgeoisie, even openly published the French version of the Manifesto of Humanity to build momentum for their campaigns.

In the UK, representatives representing factory owners in the Manchester region chanted "BE_HUMAN" during the debate in the House of Commons.

The flame ignited by Lin Youde spread throughout the world at a speed he never expected, and the abridged version of the "Declaration of Humanity" was quickly translated into many languages and spread throughout the world.

What he didn't expect was that the rumors that "there is a more radical uncut version of the "Human Declaration" also spread along with the abridged version, and then various versions of the "uncut version" also came out, which were full of fabricated ingredients, and some of them were far from Lin Youde's original meaning.

In September 1931, the Austrian Parliament in Vienna took the lead in announcing the ban on the Declaration of Humanity, and anyone who held the Declaration of Humanity was immediately arrested. The death penalty is imposed on all those who print and disseminate the Declaration of Humanity.

But then the Hungarian parliament declared the "Declaration of Humanity" legal, and implemented the concept of "we must resolutely do what the opponent is not happy with" to the end.

A long war of words ensued between Austria and Hungary, and Emperor Ferdinand's slowly taking effect economic reforms came to naught, which led to a further deterioration of the situation within the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which was on the verge of collapse.

In October 1931, a trade agreement was signed between Germany and Russia, and the first steamship laden with industrial goods departed from Hamburg and sailed for the northern Russian port of Murmansk. Relieved, the German capitalists began to look to Hungary, which was fighting with the Austro-Hungarian government.

Soon, an economic aid program for Hungary was introduced, which was soon agreed by the Hungarian government and parliament, announcing that it would accept loans from German bankers and export agricultural products and minerals to Germany in exchange for industrial goods.

The Austro-Hungarian government and the Austrian parliament in Vienna were naturally annoyed, but the Hungarians were uplifted to insist that their decision was in line with the constitution of the dual empire signed by the previous Emperor Franz.

The Austro-Hungarian government then declared that there was a famine within the empire, and that exporting grain to Germany at such a time would be a violation of imperial interests.

A few days later, the Hungarians said: We can not export, but the imperial government will give money.

The Habsburgs could not afford to raise court musicians, so where did they get the money for Hungary.

While the Austro-Hungarian Empire was fighting each other, the Germans were happily counting the money next to them.

And Lin Youde, a Chinese, counts money more happily than the Germans, because he holds the right to exchange foreign currency and the right to issue banknotes. That is to say, no matter how much money a German businessman or capitalist earns from a foreign country, as long as he wants to get this wealth back into Germany and use it in the domestic field, he must ask Lin Youde to exchange all those rubles, crowns, francs, and pounds into paper marks.

After the completion of this exchange operation, Lin Youde had a large amount of rubles, kronas and francs in his hands.

This money cannot be invested directly in the German domestic market, which would cause violent inflation and lead to economic collapse. But the money can be used on the international market.

What's even better is that in this era of time and space, the currencies of most countries still maintain the gold standard, that is, Lin Youde exchanged paper money that could not be directly exchanged for gold for a bunch of foreign exchange directly equivalent to gold.

In this way, Lin Youde relied on the "generation advantage" in economics to once again complete the magic of turning paper into money.

At this moment, he is thinking about how to spend money.
