In order to be able to ensure that the total population of Germany could grow to 100 million in two decades, Germany embarked on an ambitious family planning program. This is the first time that the population has been increased by executive order. However, there is no doubt that this is very effective.

Almost the vast majority of couples of working age have begun to respond to the government's call and start a plan to create people. It is foreseeable that Germany's population will grow explosively in the coming years.

In order to prepare for the coming baby boom, the German government must prepare well in advance. Hospitals, kindergartens, schools, etc., all need to be built and prepared in advance. So that when the baby boom arrives, Germany will be able to deal with it safely. After all, this large number of newborns will become the main force in Germany in the future.

The reason why Qin Tian set the period of family planning at 20 years was precisely because he was afraid that future wars would break out in 20 years. In that case, Germany would have to prepare in advance. The most important part is that there must be enough young men, and these are the most important soldiers. Without enough soldiers, there is no way to win this battle!

It's not just Germany that sees the importance of population, but so do other countries. It's just that they can't subsidize families with more children on a large scale, as they do in Germany. As a result, the effect of their population promotion program is not very large, and it is completely incomparable with the German family planning program.

It will take a long time to see the effect of increasing the population through executive orders.

In addition to increasing Germany's power by increasing its population, Germany also needed to work hard to digest the territory it had gained during the World War. These include the Eastern European Plain, and northern France and Belgium in Western Europe. Needless to say, in the Eastern European Plain, the Ukrainians supported the German Empire. Especially after Qin Tian concurrently served as the king of the Kingdom of Ukraine, and implemented a relaxed tax policy in the Kingdom of Ukraine to allow the Ukrainians to recuperate, these Ukrainians supported Qin Tian with all their hearts. Their lives are much better now than they were when they were in Russia. Of course, they will cherish this hard-won life. In the event of a war between Germany and Russia in the future, the Ukrainians will definitely be on the side of Germany. When the time comes, it will not be difficult for Germany to arm hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops in Ukraine.

Northern France and Belgium are industrially developed regions. If these regions can be absorbed, Germany's industrial strength will be raised to a new level. It's just that both the Belgians and the French are full of hatred for Germany. Their country, ruined by the Germans. It is undoubtedly impossible for them to cooperate with Germany, or even contribute to Germany's industrial development.

However, it is undoubtedly very easy to deal with these people. In the German prisoner-of-war camps, a large number of French and Belgian prisoners of war are still being held. Those prisoners of war were related to many of the factory owners. He is even the son of some factory owner. The use of these prisoners of war to threaten the factory owners with cooperation with Germany was undoubtedly very smooth. After all, no matter how much they hated Germany, they could not let their children or themselves work as coolies in the prisoner of war camps. Factory owners who work with Germany, or technicians, skilled workers, scientists, teachers, etc. Their relatives were able to be well cared for in the prisoner of war camps. This made those factory owners have to cooperate with Germany with all their might.

Once you start cooperating with Germany, you are on the road of no return. In the eyes of the neighbors, they have become outliers and traitors. And at that time they had no other way than to rely on Germany.

Since Germany began to implement this approach in Belgium and northern France, the number of factory owners cooperating with Germany has been increasing. It is believed that it will not be long before Germany will be able to fully absorb and digest these regions. At that time, Germany will not have much problem catching up with the United States in terms of industrial output. It won't even be long before it surpasses the United States. After all, after gaining a vast colony, Germany will also gain a vast market. This will further boost Germany's industrial development.

Amiens, a three-storey house on the outskirts of the city.

This is one of the better neighborhoods in Amiens, so most of the people who live here are upper-class people in Amiens. However, France suffered a crushing defeat in the war, and the entire northern part of France became German territory, including the capital Paris. This directly made these rich people who originally lived very well embarrassed all of a sudden.

Some French people, in order to live, began to gradually cooperate with the Germans and start a new life. It's just that these people tend to be under a lot of pressure. Because, the neighbors will point fingers at them.

Even some radical French people will attack them. Fortunately, the German garrison in northern France, as well as the police, will help them. so that they can live in peace. Otherwise, their situation will be even worse.

Balk was the owner of a small factory in Amiens. His factory mainly produces leather boots. After the German occupation of northern France, he asked his factory to help Germany produce military leather boots. However, he refused.

After the rejection, the Germans did not embarrass them. However, a week later, they received a letter from their son.

Balke's son's name was Bedoko and he was a soldier in the French Army. However, he was more unlucky, and was captured by the Germans during the Battle of Paris.

The Germans were on the battlefield and took a large number of prisoners of war. The prisoners were not released immediately after the end of the war. Although the French government repeatedly approached Germany in the hope that the German government would release the French prisoners of war, they were all refused. Germany is now undergoing large-scale infrastructure construction, which requires a lot of manpower. If you are recruiting workers, it will increase the cost a lot. If these prisoners of war were to be used, the cost would have dropped considerably. In any case, these prisoners of war had no human rights at all, and they were just used as coolies.

Balk's son, Bedoko, worked on a highway construction site, not only did he have to do heavy manual labor every day, but also had to eat enough, and at the same time had to be beaten and scolded by the overseers, and he thought he was dying. After learning that he could write to his family, Bedoko immediately wrote to his family asking for help.

So, for the sake of his son's life, Balk could only choose to cooperate with the Germans.
