C1980 Future war reparations (1/2)
”If we win the war, how can we guard the fruit of our victory and extract the most benefits from our opponents? This is a university, and the Europeans are indeed ahead of us …”
”Since ancient times, we in China have always been willing to talk about the war of justice and justice, always being extremely cautious about war.” In China, we have always been willing to talk about the war of justice and right, always being extremely cautious about war.
”Although through the war and the invasion of culture, the size of our country's territory has been constantly expanding, but with the premise of big strategies being taken advantage of, small tactics are always at a disadvantage. Some empires even lose their national fortunes because of this …”
”The most famous ones are the Three Thousand Li Trials, and the most typical ones are to support North Korea in its fight against Japan's Feng Chenxiuji's invasion … ”Of course, in terms of strategy, the Great Ming Dynasty protected their own inland strategic security, and they did not make any mistakes in repelling the Japanese. However, this war has also directly ruined the finances of the Great Ming Dynasty …”
”How much did the three great campaigns cost? There has been a lot of discussion about it since the later generations, but I think ten million silver taels should be enough, right? ”Don't underestimate this number. Right now, our Chinese people are not taking 10 million silver taels seriously. That's because the world's silver production has exploded and is flowing crazily into China …”
”In the Ming Dynasty, it was already a rich era to have several million silver taels in the treasury! ”The Myriad Li Emperor has basically lost all of the family wealth that his teacher, Zhang Ju Zheng, had saved …”
Xiao Letian let out a long sigh: ”This problem is too big, we don't have to start talking, I just want to emphasize, why did he lose money despite winning the battle? Shouldn't losers pay war reparations? ”
”It's a pity that the ancients didn't realize this. The war was won, and the land was taken, but that land was also beaten barren. The population would not be able to produce any wealth for a short period of time.
”Of the three great contests, the most money was spent on North Korea, but could it be earned in the end? War is also a business, I don't need you to earn a lot, but you can't lose money no? ”
”You, Japan, cannot compensate the expenses of the Grand Ming Dynasty? North Korea cannot be reimbursed? ”If you say you have no money, then that's easy. It's fine to cut a few islands for the merchants of the Great Ming Dynasty to earn some money …”
”It's a pity that the long war ended with China hollowing out their wealth, which led to the financial crisis in the Ming Dynasty becoming more and more serious …”
Xiao Letian threw a few pistachios into his mouth, sighed and said, ”Of course, you can't blame our ancestors for this, after all, that era was restricted by the rules of that era, and people's ideologies are different from the present.”
”That's what I was talking about! Regarding war reparations, they were the smartest people in the world to play with … I beat you, you want to admit defeat? ”I'm sorry, but you have to pay for my military expenses and let me earn some money. This is what peace is like!”
”We, the Chinese, fought with Russia, had a conflict with France, and eventually joined hands with Prussia to fight in Europe. What is our goal?”
”Not only is he trying to squeeze into the club, but he is also trying to earn money! We must extract a large amount of war reparations from the Russian Federation and France! ”
”We can't be bullies. I have to squeeze out a huge amount of navy money from Russia and France! If we don't extort the funds of over ten battleships, do you think I'm here to play? ”
”However, how much we can extort in the end will depend on how loud it is in the post-war armistice! That's what a hot knife truly means when it cuts butter! ”
