I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

The income is only 400 million pounds.

If His Majesty Zhu Fugui hadn't given out 700 million silver dollars to help, and bought some mines and land that the southerners didn't need at the fracture price, completely turning the southern state into an economic colony, otherwise President Davis and Robert General Li had long been hanged on a street lamp.

It was this silver dollar that caused the international silver price to start diving ahead of schedule.

Now the main currency of Prussia, brother William's thaler silver coins are also affected and depreciated.

So Zhu Fugui asked the Prussians to repay the loan with gold.

This also led to the birth of the special currency "Golden Mark" used for payment to Ming Dynasty ahead of schedule, but this is a later story.

All in all, Prussia may be very profitable in this business, but Ming is definitely not losing money.

The first is £100 million worth of gold.

This amount of money is not only a fortune-defying fund for the little people, but also a big mouthful of fat for Daming.

The price difference of silver is gradually narrowing, although it will not be smoothed out, but it also means that the capital cost of knowing whoring is getting higher.

Appropriately increasing gold reserves is very beneficial for Ming to resist systemic financial risks.

Second, Prussia is the largest agricultural country in Europe after France and Austria.

Historically, Prussian soldiers entered Paris, William I was crowned at the Palace of Versailles, and it took up to three years until the German army completely withdrew from France.

As long as Ming's seeds and breeding pigs monopolize the Prussian agricultural market, then as Prussia conquers France, Ming's seeds and breeding pigs are likely to conquer France as well.

Parisians might arrest women and Germans and parade them through the streets and lynch them because they complained, but they probably wouldn’t be angry with the pigs brought by the Germans, right?

After all, pigs are much cuter than women.

Third, Daming went public through a back door and invested in the Neue Berliner Zeitung in Prussia.

Since Prussia and North Germany were the first to implement compulsory education, the illiteracy rate was relatively low, so the sales volume of newspapers in this area was extremely high.

And with the rise of Prussia, Berlin will gradually become the second heart of the European continent, which can radiate the entire Central and Eastern Europe.

This provides a new window for Zhu Fugui's career of accumulating wealth through cultural values.

Although it is said that Ming has no way to use newspapers to carry out political propaganda against these German barbarians.

However, slogan-style political propaganda itself is only the lowest level of means, and the real ideological evolution should be moist and silent.

Although Zhu Fugui is not like Bismarck, he has never been to any country in Europe, and he talks and laughs happily with European politicians, but Zhu Fugui is much more visible to these shady methods of using spring and autumn brushwork to subtly influence people's thinking.

Zhu Fugui even suspected that brother William might be quite happy to advocate consumerism and hedonism to the low-level European people.

After all, in this era, Berlin and other places are also places where ghost newspapers are popular.

Although the Prussian authorities have repeatedly seized them, these illegal publications can always find a place to survive.

And the newspapers of the Ming Dynasty are like weeds that suck up nutrients, which can prevent the growth of these seedlings, and are likely to be welcomed by William's brother.

After all, reactionary monarchs are always so sympathetic and full of tacit understanding.

In short, if it is said that for the Pan-China region, Ming’s propaganda offensive will be like a prairie fire, sweeping away all ghosts and snakes, then for the homeland of Europeans, Ming’s propaganda shells will be coated with layers of beautiful sugar-coated, harmless to humans and animals The posture is like a long-term battle like ants moving house.

There is also a fourth point, that is, Daming still firmly grasps the generation gap in weapon production technology.

Zhu Fugui knew that the Prussians started their business by imitating British goods.

Zhu Fugui has high respect for the future industrial powerhouse of the European Union.

The way to express respect is naturally to reduce the allocation of exported tractors and reduce the allocation again.

Until World War II, it was not a difficult task to convert a tractor to a tank.

The technical content is the tractor chassis and engine.

Naturally, Master Zhu Agricultural Machinery Company could not produce the tractor chassis and engines of later generations, and used imitations.

Just this imitation is enough for the Prussians to study a pot.

Daming Hanqi 01 itself weighs only 1.7 tons, equipped with 4mm thin-skinned armor, and a 20-horsepower diesel engine.

Of course, the chassis removed from the small tractors of later generations is extremely powerful.

As for the tractor exported by Zhu Fugui, not to mention the imitation chassis, the power has also shrunk to 15 horsepower.

What is the concept of 15 horsepower?

The bull engines of Rising Sun A cars all have 18 horsepower.

However, this kind of engine eliminated from the [GHS] laboratory is quite different from civilian products such as cow engines.

Its safety and reliability are quite good, and it can deal with various complex terrains.

Of course, there is a prerequisite for this.

That is weight loss.

According to calculations by [GHS] technicians, it is difficult for the Prussians to use these chassis to produce tanks with a dead weight of more than 1.2 tons.

1.2 tons...

Even if the metallurgical technology of the Prussians is relatively good, half as high as that of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Fugui can hardly imagine what the Germans can do with 1.2 tons.

It is estimated that by then, many parts will be replaced with wood, and the tanker will not be allowed to weigh more than 80 catties.

As for the armor protection, it is estimated that it can block rifle bullets from a long distance.

Of course, no matter how Fella is, this thing is also a tank.

If it is formed in quantity, it is still the king of land warfare.

At least it's better than the deadly platoon of the French.

"Mobility is the soul of land warfare, and quickness is the key to defeating the enemy!"

Zhu Fugui delivered some correct nonsense when he was selling mini tractors to the Junkers.

However, the Junkers took it very seriously.

In this day and age, the navy has gone to the point of no return for giant worship.

However, the Army is limited by its logistics and transportation capabilities, so it doesn't have this idea that big is beautiful.

Occasionally, some monstrous giant cannons are basically short-lived and will not work.

The point is, the tank or the armored combat vehicle was originally created by Da Ming and defined by Da Ming.

Daming said that shortness and dexterity are the kingly way, so everyone naturally thinks that tanks should be small and nimble.

With a total weight of 18.289 tons and an armor thickness of 6mm, it is equipped with a 1mm Maxim heavy machine gun and several 7.7mm "Lewis" heavy machine guns. The engine power is 7.7 horsepower and the maximum speed is 104 kilometers per hour. Will not be born in this time and space.

18 tons?

Fatty should lose weight!

6mm armor?

That's what cowards need!

3.2 km/h?

My grandma with prosthetics can outrun it!

In short, Zhu Fugui has reason to believe that for a long time to come, Europeans' understanding of tanks will be led into the ditch by him.

Zhu Fugui can't wait to see the interesting scene of a child being shot by Daming's heavy cavalry in the desert of North Africa, in the oil fields of the Middle East, and on the great plain from the Urals to Eastern Europe.

Chapter 435 Subway, Square Inch Mountain, Newspaper

Dewu five years March 22nd.

6:10 in the morning.

London Metropolitan Underground Station.

Britain's weather is as bad as its food, and it's not an exaggeration to say it's notorious.

Although the unbearably wet winter has passed, the recent gloomy and less windy weather has once again shrouded London in a hazy dreamy smog.

If there are qualified public health experts investigating here, they will definitely find that the number of citizens who died of respiratory diseases in London during this period has increased by 3 percentage points compared with usual.

However, the British gentlemen who got up early and went to work in the Financial City still carried their briefcases, wore spotless suits as usual, and knocked on the stone steps with their shiny leather shoes, waiting for the arrival of the train in silence.

Only the coughing sound from time to time can break this depression.

London was the center of the largest empire in human history.

As early as the mid-nineteenth century, the population here reached an incredible 500 million people.

Even Delhi in India or Beijing in the Qing Dynasty has far less population than here.

When wealth, resources, and manpower from all over the world have been continuously gathered here, tens of millions of new houses, shops, office buildings, and factories have been built, and all kinds of cars and carriages are running on the streets. It's going to explode.

Therefore, a means of transportation that can bring more capacity and convenience than narrow ground streets - the subway came into being.

In fact, the Metropolitan Subway in London had been approved and designed 25 years ago, but due to various reasons, it was not officially opened until January 1863, only a few years ago.

But in this short period of time, the subway has become an indispensable part of the life of middle-class citizens who live and work in central London.

Tramps, alcoholics, and gentlemen in desperation have also filled the subway stations made of brick, cement, and steel with the smell of excrement.

In fact, the whole city of London has this flavor, but the metropolitan subway station is particularly strong.

This is the taste of gentleman and civilization.

James Bond is one of the gentlemen waiting for the subway, but he disagrees with this view, and even feels sick.

If it is a British person of later generations, or anyone in the world who has been influenced by the mainstream culture of Britain and the United States, when he hears the name "James Bond", he will definitely raise his head in surprise and look at this childish boy. Take a second look at yourself.

But now it's only the 60s, and James Bond is just a normal British name.

What's special about him...

Anyone who has seen Bond naked has seen a mighty husky head tattooed on his chest.

That's right, Bond is a member of [White Hound], and he is the most satisfied student of "that gentleman".

There is a husky tattoo on the chest, which is the symbol of the original batch of [white retrievers].

Because Jin Yiwei soon discovered that it is a very stupid thing to have an identifying tattoo on his chest.

This would greatly increase the risk of agent exposure.

Therefore, the later [White Hound] generally tattooed the indescribable place between the two strands.

You have to break it open to see it.

One is used as a mark to confirm friendly forces, but it is not easy to be discovered by the enemy.

At least the Brits of this era don't have the nickname Gayland, so they shouldn't be so easy to spot.

Secondly, it is also a reminder of bitterness and sweetness, reminding [White Hounds] not to forget the violations committed by priests and priests, and remember the numerous crimes committed by their enemies in childhood.

James Bond didn't have a tattoo in that perfect position, he was the first batch of soldiers rescued by Ming from the basement of Xinjin Church in Bremerton.

He was only 12 years old at the time and quickly stood out from the crowd.

The emperor personally named him Chen Yongren.

However, he had to wait until he had completed the tasks assigned by the organization and retired before he could restore this Han name and have the legal status of a citizen of Ming Dynasty.

Before that, his name was Bond, James Bond.

After four years of rigorous training, Bond has become a seemingly immature, but actually steady young man. He went to England to carry out intelligence work for the revival of Ming Dynasty and revenge against Christianity.

Jin Yiwei made up for Bond the identity of an orphan of a North American factory owner. He lost his parents due to the war and had to bring 700 pounds of property to London.

Bond also lived up to Daming's expectations and cultivation.

Relying on all kinds of knowledge learned in the orphanage, relying on his own intelligence, and most importantly using the inheritance left by his "father", Bond successfully obtained a civil servant job in the London Patent Office, which can be regarded as entering the British Empire. Inside the system.

Of course, he is just a small employee and has no access to any core secrets.

But the so-called spies, in fact, are mostly engaged in insignificant and unobtrusive positions.

Such people can often play a huge role for decades.

Bond lingers on platform six.

The pungent smell combined with the smell of low-quality tobacco made him slightly sick.

Although he has been in London for nearly three months, Bond still can't get used to the bad taste here.
