After the Thirty Years' War, Europe is not at peace, but learning to be obedient, and will no longer fight for any illusory theocracy or royal power, in the final analysis, there is only one word, interests.

Although Friedrich Wilhelm was not famous in later generations because he was only in the initial stage of the country, he was definitely a generation of heroes.

This has to talk about the ancient German sore state system, which was divided into numerous states, and seven princes were eligible to be elected emperors.

This is definitely a harbinger of strengthening the split, it can be said that Germany has been bullied for as many years as this system has been implemented, but the electoral system was crushed by Napoleon, and Prussia has risen inexorably.

Friedrich Wilhelm was the Elector of the Emperor, who recruited rebellions throughout his life, betrayed and allied back and forth in countless different countries, and laid the foundation for a bullied Prussia to start two world wars in the future.

Although the later Republic of Deutstein declared all his inheritance to be a failure, it is not wrong.

The most terrible thing is that this thing betrayed so many people, it can be compared to the existence of Lu Bu in Europe, and it has not lost its reputation!

Friedrich Wilhelm had a fierce eye, knowing that after the signing of last year's agreement, Europe did not begin to enter an era of peace, but continued to have an undercurrent, and there was a status like the Holy See or the Habsburgs in the past, and now, equality between countries does not mean peace, but is more suitable for playing with each other, and this game and war are no longer limited to religion.

In the past, the religious wars between Protestants and Catholics were the mainstream, but now, no longer limited to religious checks and balances, they have begun the most undisciplined collusion and game in history.

Betrayal and revenge have become the mainstream, and iron and blood are the eternal overture, all about the same.

Of course, for the elders, although Germany has hundreds of states, and the electors such as Habsburg, Saxony, and Cologne are not weak, they only have Prussia in their eyes, because of their comprehensive strength.

The Habsburgs were too fond of marrying their daughters to do things.

Friedrich Wilhelm's eyes lit up, his desire was simple, he wanted to do something.

"I have to say that your land lacks ports, if you want to transport through the ports of France or the Netherlands, it is very troublesome, and the real suitability is to have your own reliable channels."

This era was the Age of Discovery, and in the old days, when the great cities were inland, as long as you didn't have a canal to get to the sea, the transportation costs were terrible.

A ship, a great few hundred people to operate the ship, hundreds of tons of cargo can be easily transported.

In this era, relying on horse-drawn carriages to transport things, one horse and one carriage, two people, have to bring their own food, then the farther the distance, the higher the amount of food, and in the end it may be possible to send one piece of goods, which requires nine portions of food.

Land transportation and land transportation, without trains, can not be compared with sea transportation, and even in terms of cost, railways are not as cheap as sea transportation, but they just occupy a fast, and the most tangled thing is that it is too easy to be destroyed.

Therefore, in later generations, those great cities that have recently risen are basically close to the sea or simply natural harbors, and the water network is dense.

This is something that even a traverser would not dare to confront against.

How many Russian-Turkish wars the Russians have fought and countless people have died, but it is just for an outlet to the sea.

That's the reality.

Xu Hao received the cash, but there was no delay, and this agreement, helping the few small nobles in Prussia's small fiefdom to study in China also became part of the agreement.

The Junker aristocracy, the main force in the First World War in later generations, was established with the support of Friedrich Wilhelm, and at first made great contributions to the unification of Germany, but after the reunification, they began to die.

In the beginning, as landlords, they could enjoy the wealth of the land, and the tenant farmers were basically serfs, but they needed to pay allegiance to the king and fight in exchange for land and status, which was called a professional army.

Xu Hao didn't intend to give Friedrich Wilhelm this trick, Juncker's thing is really not advanced, it is essentially a bloodline theory, and under this feudal system, it is absolutely impossible to produce the behavior of the Presbyterian Council to engage in projects to enrich the people and stimulate domestic demand.

This was the first defect of the Junker aristocracy, in Germany, where the nouveau riche was largely difficult to appear, and finally through the strength of the Junker class to marry each other, it has always occupied an important place in the political and economic life of Germany.

Before World War I, although Germany's economy developed rapidly and the degree of concentration of industrial production and capital was relatively high, its monopoly organizations generally adopted a lower-level price alliance, and the enterprises participating in the alliance still maintained their operational independence in production and sales, but only divided the sales market according to the agreement, determined the output of commodities, and set standard prices.

This is sucking blood from the common people as flesh and blood.

The wages of the workers are low, the purchasing power of the masses is low, the domestic market is narrow, and the struggle for the market is extremely acute, and these landlords are not like the capitalists of other countries, who have worked their own, understand the mentality of the lower strata to some extent, and are willing to spend money to appease the lower strata.

Under the conditions of very acute class contradictions and market problems at home, the German landlord bourgeoisie, in order to divert the attention of the people, competed with Britain for "territory under the sun" and used the German sword to acquire land for the German plow, and actively plunged into the struggle to carve up and re-divide the world.

The result of this is that Germany is very good at packaging itself internally and externally, but it is often very difficult to see the big picture and plan for the long term.

After a secret contact, there is no shortage of conspiracies here, Xu Hao can be regarded as gradually growing up, and he and Christina slowly walked out of the warehouse, but said: "Christina, do you think that I am secretly selling arms, which may lead to the continuation of the war among European countries, what do you think." ”

Christina looked at him strangely and said, "Business is business." ”

"Sure enough, business is business."

In this era, there are not many nationalist feelings, and the superiors tend to be more closely connected.

"In a few days, accompany me back to China, this is the end of things in Britain, now, the end of the war in Europe, if a civil war breaks out in Britain, then it is very likely to be taken advantage of, it is better to wait patiently."

Christina bit her lip, go to China, that legendary country.

In what capacity?

She couldn't help but feel sad, at present, it seems that the only reliance is on this alien man, but his country, it seems that there are terrible customs, can a man have many legal wives?

Not to mention the affairs of these little girls, what the two did was itself a matter of digging up the roots of Europeans, of course, for Christina, assisting the king to return to the country was the goal, and the people of the continent killed people What is the matter, they are British.

The British united the Netherlands with Spain, Germany with France, France with France and Italy, Germany with France, Germany and Italy, and the clever means of dividing and controlling.

There is no hurry for the two to return, the Netherlands has now completed the opening of several small factories, although the technical content is not very good, but it is already producing cement and soap according to modern technology, and the construction of Amsterdam is also accelerating, and many roads and walls have concrete floors.

And the investment fever is also starting to appear.

Dutch capitalism is problematic capitalism, on the one hand, the self-destructive behavior of the tulip fever stunned his biggest opponents, and on the other hand, capitalism was so great that Dutch merchants could sell strategic goods to their enemies without changing their faces.

A swarm of bees, as long as there is profit, can trample on all the laws of the world, this is the nature of the Dutch, the meaning of freedom, itself is to do it casually without infringing on the interests of others, and then begin to find their own death.

Of course, the positive and constructive significance brought by the Council of Elders is still huge, and as an ordinary traverser who is not possessed by divine powers, the biggest change to this world is hygiene.

If no matter how ordinary the traveler is, he has no interest in science, even for his own safety, spreading the concept of hygiene, and washing his hands before and after eating, it is the least behavior, which is not about science, but for himself, especially for the elders who have a special interest in European horses.

From the very beginning, the patriotic health movement in the Netherlands was supported by many nobles and wealthy merchants, who also began to understand that flies on beggars a kilometer away could also attack themselves with germs, and it was useless to clean their own homes alone.

A lot of money was invested in the renovation of the old city and public health, and public baths were disseminated as a new type of equipment.

People on the street, no matter how poor they are, can enter the bath to take a bath, in this era, no matter which country is basically dirty, the new knowledge brought by Xu Hao can be regarded as helping.

The two sneaked back to the residence, and then back to the bedroom, to change their clothes, but Christina's hand suddenly came to him......

An hour later, Xu Hao hummed a song and walked out of the bathroom, and the muscles of his whole body seemed to be making a comfortable sound.

He suddenly remembered something, it was evening, and it seemed that it was noon on the Chinese side.

turned on a contact, the radio wave was quickly connected, and the other side seemed to wait for a while before someone answered, and it seemed that he was still eating: "Xu Hao, what's the matter." ”

"Brother, I'm still worried, there are ten cadets crammed into Prussia."

"Rest assured, the military has never been the core competitiveness, and we are not afraid of this."

"How come, I know that our plan is to take Europe, but people are not stupid."

"That's right, in terms of human resources, it's normal for Europeans to surpass us," Li Xiangqian took a bite of noodles and said: "People can now mass-produce scientists, no matter how poor the foundation is, but basic mathematical thinking, and interest in science are still there, and we, at least I believe in the newcomers who received education after the first year of the republic, this is the gap." ”

"So, if they learn to do the arsenal......"

"Don't be afraid, do it...... You know, in every era, the core elements of war are different, and the army is basically to achieve three purposes, morale strike, face the enemy head-on, expand the results of the battle, morale strike units, there are bows and arrows in ancient times, artillery in modern times, and later missiles, and there are drones in our time, the element is that you can't kill you, but also scare you to death, the enemy unit, there are pikemen in ancient times, there are musketeers in modern times, we have armored troops and mecha troops at that time, expand the results of the unit, there are light cavalry in ancient times, light infantry in modern times, and airborne troops in modern times, you see, It's all about the same, but the core element is, where the initiative lies, and there is a struggle between land power and sea power, I have the initiative, which means that you can choose the place and time to do it at will, you don't have the initiative, you can only mobilize all resources at all times and wait to be beaten by me, who do you say will win in the end? ”

"You're saying that Europe even has a new technological ......"

"Seriously, they're nobles, what does it mean to be noble? At the last moment, is it a choice between protecting the Eight Banners or protecting China, what do you say they will choose? Protecting the aristocracy does not protect the country. So we really don't have to care, even if there is some careful thinking against us? The most important thing is actually us, is each of us this strength? It's impossible, basically all people who have completed their basic education, if they really give up enjoying and start fighting on their own behalf, I don't dare to say anything else, the whole of Southeast Asia and India will be full of our flags, and the militarization of the national economy is the right path for development, hi. ”

"Everyone is too delicate, and there seem to be terrorists before, so they don't dare to go out."

"Actually, this is all nonsense, the reason why terrorists can find us is because they are active in the imperial capital every day, and people are staring at it. You see, as a traverser, the absolute security of oneself, a high degree of privacy and unbridled freedom, abundant material, want a woman...... That's it. ”

Xu Hao thought about it, he is like this, the most important thing is that he does not have the entrepreneurial heart to overcome obstacles.

Those Europeans, driving leaky wooden boats that are not safe, using firearms that may not be more powerful than bows and crossbows, desperately trying to make their homes all over the world?

Why?

It's not that there is no way to live in the country, so you can only fight hard.

The result of their desperate efforts is still very satisfying, at least a few hundred years later, their children and grandchildren can show off their power everywhere with just one face, sleeping women are easy, and if you lose a bicycle, you can be chased back by the city's police like a madman, and it can also be in the newspaper.

Being in Armstrong, Xu Hao really saw many people fighting so hard, many of them went to the American continent, and these days, there are many people who beg themselves to write a letter of introduction and go to China to find a way to make a fortune.

Overall, it's manageable at the moment?

Xu Hao sighed, I just hope that in the end, I won't be capsized by these white people.
