410 Minor problems with Fran the Great
For the first time, Farina heard Frederick scolding him in person, his angry face was gloomy, his sharp white beard trembled, his teeth kept knocking, and he retorted angrily: "The military department is willing to die for everyone, so we have to prepare for war in advance! Now that the international situation is so tense, and Frank the Great has opened up the equipment gap with us again, what should they do if they join forces again?"
"During the Seven Years' War, the Fran Army was armed with Type 1777 smoothbore guns, when did they attack the city? How did Wiener fall?" Frederick was aggressive, "War is a crazy disaster in which millions of people smashed pots and sold iron, and hundreds of thousands of people died in a mad disaster, and it was an activity that some people relied on, a few people loved, and most people hated, do you think Fran the Great could fight as soon as he said it? Now there are peasant uprisings everywhere in the Fran Empire, and war weariness is high, and he has to toss for months just to mobilize before the war! Do you think he can fight?"
"But Fran the Great has already carried out the industrial revolution in full swing! Have you ever seen their steam engine? The combustion efficiency is as high as 6%, and the train can transport new soldiers to the front in three days! His team of engineers is full of whimsy, and the half-finished products are like the products of centuries later, which makes me tremble!" Paul Johnson is the first master of Wiener's military industry, and even he is so frightened that he stamps his feet in pain: "If we don't catch up at this time, we will be completely backward and beaten!" When the armored mechanical monsters are pushed under the walls of Wiener, our dragoons will all perish!"
"You guys!" said Frederick, who was suddenly hoarse, and bent over and coughed twice. He actually understood Paul's worries about the country www.biquge.info Frederick knew that Fran the Great was probably a demigod, and the advanced light weapons and advanced industrial revolution programs of the Fran Empire were all ready-made experiences brought by Fran the Great from more advanced civilizations. Paul can clearly see the terrible aspects of Fran the Great's engineering team, proving that Paul is worthy of the name.
This is a well-intentioned debate. Helplessly, the position is-for-tat.
Frederick scolded his brain for lack of oxygen and his scalp tingling. He took a deep breath and calmed down before looking at Elena and trying to convince the emperor directly: "I have carefully tortured the captives and have a general understanding of the situation in the territory of the Fran Empire. My conclusion is that it was the industrial reforms promoted by Fran the Great that left him with no time to crusade!"
He crossed his waist to support his forehead, gasped to clear his thoughts, and then under the gaze of the imperial cabinet, he turned around anxiously and tried to speak calmly: "I admit that Fran the Great has unprecedented whimsy, his outstanding design talent, brilliant military ideas, and advanced revolutionary ideas, all of which have humiliated the geniuses of the past and present. I admit it. But it is a fact that he is not able to go east at present, and he does not want to go east even for ten years!"
"What?!" Paul took two steps back and shouted, "How did you come to this conclusion of ten years?"
Frederick cried out tired, leaned on the table and said, "He makes awesome things, I admit it." However, I tortured some special captives and got a general idea of the current state of the Fran Empire. His goal was to replace the handicrafts with large machine factories, but the labor force was tied to the farmland, and the tenant farmers made up 78% of the population, so there were not enough workers, so he connived at the aristocrats and capitalists to enclose the land and forcibly turn the peasants into displaced people. ”
"Enclosure movement. Paul was well aware that "this barbaric movement, which lasted for three whole years, and which took away almost all the peasants' estates, was the cause of the peasant revolts." But the peasants were displaced by the loss of their land and became displaced people who poured into the cities and became cheap workers. Fran the Great has the courage to spend his money. ”
"Yes. So he had workers, and the next step was to force the factory owners to buy large machinery. But here's the problem. Frederick turned his back in circles and carefully recounted: "Because of his artificial enclosure movement, which led to a large accumulation of cheap labor, the capitalists found that they had enough money to buy large machinery to hire the workers of two factories." The capitalists are not fools when they don't use cheap labor to buy expensive steam engines! So the bourgeoisie boycotted it, and Flann the Great was overwhelmed. ”
"It's a minor issue. Subsidy money can be solved, doesn't Flangel have the backing of BNP Paribas?" the Prime Minister analyzed. He was also led by Frederick and began to deduce the internal affairs of the enemy.
Yes, he paid a large sum of money and persuaded the factory owner to buy machinery, which solved problem one. But problem two followed: the gradual mechanization of factories led to the layoff of large numbers of workers and the bankruptcy of the cottage industry. As a result, the "refugee wave" caused by the land enclosure movement has not ended, and a vigorous "wave of unemployed displaced people" has risen again - the most spectacular thing is that many of the workers in this wave of unemployment are peasants who have been deprived of their land and left their homes. They lost their land, were forced to go to the city to work, and within two years, they were laid off and unemployed, not to mention people, even rabbits had to jump over walls and bite people. So the unemployed workers banded together and launched a number of armed uprisings, which were suppressed, bleeding and scattering the pestle, and the picture was difficult to see directly. Now the Fran Empire is full of fireworks of peasant uprisings, and the streets are full of unemployed trade unions, and this status quo will be maintained for a long time, and it is no longer a problem that money can solve. ”
Frederick turned to look at the cabinet and asked coldly, "Do you still think that Fran the Great is eloquent?"
The Prime Minister was dumbfounded. He muttered, "These are minor issues......"
"Little problem?" Frederick shouted angrily: "He does have advanced ideas, he does have cutting-edge designs, but the state is made up of people, the peasants have to eat, the workers have to work, and industrialization regardless of the national conditions is perverse! The utopia that Flann the Great is obsessed with is not the world that the people want, because the people don't even have food to eat, who cares about his grand ambitions? Fran the Great played the country into internal and external troubles, uprisings were like sparks, law and order were like porridge, and he still had the kung fu to crusade to the East? Lao Tzu didn't beat him enough to give him face!"
Breechroeder listened to it in a cold sweat, secretly thinking that Frederick's eyes were quenched with poison, and he could actually understand the dynamics of Paris from thousands of kilometers away, you know, he said these details, even Flangel himself did not like to ask!
And Elena looked at Frederick a little wrong, the empress smiled and tilted her head, holding her face, as if admiring a famous painting.
If Frederick continues to stir things up like this, this lucrative loan may really be ruined!
The old banker finally ignored the "rules of respect and inferiority" and resolutely stepped out of the ranks, bowing his head and playing straightforwardly: "In the humble opinion of the lower officials, His Royal Highness the Prime Minister is right; Once the industrial revolution of Fran the Great is completed, money will roll in, production capacity will leap thousands of miles, and once the eastern crusade invades, it is not our country that can be defeated.
