Chapter 522: Prepare in advance to celebrate peace

Of course, re-entering the comfort zone, Zhu Fugui did not encounter trouble after returning to Fengdu.

The most headache is naturally how to introduce Bai Xia'er to Yin Susu and them.

Although Bai Xia'er and Yin Susu's sisters called each other as soon as they met, Zhu Fugui always felt that the atmosphere was a little weird.

For this reason, Zhu Fugui stayed in the Marshal's Mansion for several nights, resolutely refusing to go home, and adopting ostrich tactics.

In the lonely night, fortunately, there are still close friends on the other side of the ocean thinking about themselves.

That man was the King of Prussia, the future German Emperor Wilhelm.

Brother William didn't seem to know what the jet lag was, and he actually sent a telegram in the middle of the night.

It turned out that he was in big trouble.

I don't know what's going on, just half a month ago, the cavalry unit of the French Foreign Mercenary Regiment suddenly became powerful.

The Berbers seemed to have mastered the weak points in the armor of the Prussian "Mole" tanks, which inflicted great damage through piercing mines.

It is now the fourth month of the Franco-Prussian War.

The Prussian army had already occupied Alsace Lorraine, breaking through the Champagne-Ardennes mine belt, and the advance was closing in on Paris.

At such a juncture, a sudden accident made William I very angry.

He asked Marshal Moltke how much time it would take for the German warriors to tear the barbed wire fence outside Paris with blood without tanks.

The answer received by William I was 10 months and the lives of 300,000 young people.

This made William I gasp.

Today's Prussia is not the German Reich of the future that can endure millions of casualties.

William I, who had never experienced trenches, barbed wire, or machine-gun warfare, could not have imagined casualties of this magnitude.

You must know that during the Napoleonic Wars, which lasted for more than ten years, Prussia lost only three or four hundred thousand soldiers!

Is it necessary to go through another battle in order to conquer Paris?

If you can exchange the lives of 300,000 Prussian boys for your own coronation in Versailles, it is not unacceptable.

I'm afraid that if it drags on, it will change later.

Once the-stirring stick comes, it's hard to say how it will end.

Wilhelm I trusted Moltke Sr's judgment, and Moltke Sr's professionalism never disappointed him.

In the final analysis, it is the change in the form of warfare that makes the tank important.

And the main culprit that makes tanks so important......

The guy who invented the barbed wire tactic is really an old Jew with a white flag in Paris - he has arrived home without virtue!

Of course, William I didn't understand this sentence, but it didn't prevent him from greeting the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty in his heart.

The most annoying thing is that after greetings, I had to politely send a telegram to say hello to Zhu Fugui.

I have to say that the Germans do have a set of mechanics.

Copycat technology is also as strong as ever.

Using the chassis of the tractor of the Ming Dynasty, Prussian engineers were already trying to produce a completely German-made tank.

It's a pity, how can the quality of German cars be compared with Ming cars?

In fact, the Prussians themselves did not have confidence in Made in Germany.

Made in Germany, or Made in Germany, was synonymous with counterfeiting in this era.

Not only are industrial products shoddy, but even food safety, which is vital to human life, is also a bad record.

In 1878, Bismarck, the "iron-blooded prime minister" of the German Empire, ordered his subordinates to conduct an investigation that showed that merchants would mix barite, gypsum and chalk into flour to increase its weight.

In some areas, "egg noodles" sold in stores are actually yellow colors that are brushed on noodles with picric acid or urine. In a market survey in Berlin in 1890, 24% of the food tested was found to be adulterated.

In this context, the Prussians soon discovered that if they wanted to build a tank that could be used in real combat and was as fast as the wind, they still had to use the Ming chassis.

Therefore, Wilhelm I had to come to the e-commerce volume, hoping to increase the supply.

At present, Daming supplies 25 chassis to Prussia every month, each chassis is 3,500 pounds, equivalent to about 3.5 million yuan in later generations.

Compared with the tanks of later generations, which often cost millions or tens of millions of dollars, it seems to be very cheap, but this is completely the difference between the Hassan rocket and the Long March 5.

For Prussia, the price of £3,500 per month was by no means a small amount.

The formation of a tank brigade of 100 tanks will cost a huge amount of 350,000 pounds, which is equivalent to the cost of a 6,000-ton main ironclad ship.

Of course, on the Prussian side, from Wilhelm I to the engineers of the Rheinland Maschinenbaure, no one questioned the price of the chassis.

It's not just a seller's market problem.

It is the exquisite machining technology of the Ming people, from metallurgical forging to detail processing, which shows the unparalleled spirit of craftsmanship and innovation.

The spirit of innovation is good, as a copycat country, Prussia can make it its own in minutes.

But with this level of craftsmanship, there is really no way to copy.

The same style, the same build, the same bearing, the well-made Ming goods are strong and durable, and the counterfeit German goods are broken down or even broken in minutes.

It is no wonder that German products are synonymous with shoddy production.

As for the replica tanks produced by the Rheinland Arsenal, Moltke decided that none of them should be driven to the front line, and these tanks should only be used as real tractors in the fields.

If Zhu Fugui hears this sentence, I am afraid he will be depressed for a long time.

Because it took 1 year for the Ming to develop the tractor by itself, while the Prussians only spent 3 months.

This is naturally not that the Chinese are inferior to the Germans, and in this era, the industrial base of China and Prussia is really too different.

Fortunately, these gaps have been erased.

With the comprehensive establishment of the secondary and higher education systems of the Ming Dynasty, and the continuous supply of high-level skilled workers and engineers for the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Fugui no longer has to envy the Western industrial base.

I can't do Bangladesh, Vietnam, Cambodia (later generations), can't I do you Prussia?

In the face of William's request to double the monthly chassis order to 50 yuan, Zhu Fugui readily agreed.

Rich don't make bastards.

It's a pity that France is badly damaged after all, and there are still serious tears in the country, I'm afraid it can't resist the iron hooves of Prussia, otherwise Zhu Fugui really hopes that Jiang Gan will steal books again and give the French some good things.

Eat two in one pot, balance offshore, Zhu Fugui found that the British do have merit.

It's a pity that he doesn't fight for the chicken!

But then again, Mingpu's second alliance is unbreakable, and Zhu Fugui should be happy about William's victory.

It is foreseeable that by the time the German language resounds in Paris next year, and the Daming Yayan resounding in Dihua and Kulun, the world situation will reach a short period of stability.

It also happens that next year is the seventh year of Dewu, 1869, and it has been four full years since the third year of Dewu Ming Federation Football Match.

In the past four years, football has blossomed in Daming, Europe and Latin America.

This sport, which can stimulate the primitive hunting instinct of human beings and is closest to war, did not need any official promotion, and soon became popular all over the world as a spark.

And as the undisputed birthplace of classical football and modern football (rules), it is time for Daming to hold a World Cup in the true sense of the word.

This will bring a lot of tourism income and a large amount of cultural value to Daming.

And it's also a celebration of world peace!

Emperor Zhu Fugui said that he liked peace the most.

Daming will lead by example, shoulder the responsibility of a regional (referring to half the world) power, and lead the people of the world into the next decade full of peace and flowers.
