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

This is also the fundamental reason why Brother William maintains respect for Zhu Fugui.

Deming's combined steel production is only less than 100 million tons less than that of the British.

But apparently one guy was holding back.

As a result, the total annual steel production of the entire Three Emperors Alliance is 0.04 tons less than that of the British, French and Russian Axis of Evil Group.

for a 3:5 relationship.

From this point of view, although the future war situation is capable of fighting, it is still not optimistic, and the advantage does not lie with me.

But...

What Brother William and Brother Abdul don't know is that Daming's steel production capacity is actually unlimited...

As a primary industrial product, steel is one of the most affordable bulk commodities that Zhu Fugui purchased with foreign exchange.

Even without considering the quality of the steel, a single Tangshan Iron and Steel Works could sweep the world in the [-]th century.

The price of a ton of high-quality steel is only a few thousand yuan, and it is even cheaper to buy scrap steel. (Do you know why steel stocks have soared recently?)

In fact, even scrap steel is of higher quality than most steel of this era.

If he only counts economic accounts, Zhu Fugui has absolutely no motivation to develop the steelmaking industry.

Instead of making steel by yourself, it is better to exchange iron ore with Tangshan Iron and Steel Plant for finished steel.

Even if dozens of tons are exchanged for one ton, it is not a loss.

But smelting is the mother of industry after all.

From the perspective of ensuring employment, training skilled workers, and ensuring the integrity of the industrial chain, Zhu Fugui also purchased some key equipment and built his own steel plant based on the drawings of later generations.

It produces millions of tons of crude steel a year, trying to meet the domestic civilian needs of Daming.

But once the war starts, Zhu Fugui will not talk about martial arts.

A large amount of accumulated foreign exchange will be turned into a steady stream of steel products, even steel products such as Laiyang steel pipes, which will flow into the Daming treasury.

But with these cards, Zhu Fugui naturally wouldn't gossip with Abdul and William.

It's just that Daming still has a few production lines under planning, and it might be possible to start production urgently during the war and increase mass production a little.

William also proudly said that Germany also has a plan to expand production capacity.

The 50 billion francs indemnity made the Germans a little bit smug, and they finally felt a little proud of spending money.

In William's view, when Germany spends all the 50 billion francs and sees results, Germany's steel production will not only catch up with the British, but it should be no problem to be close to Ming Dynasty.

However, His Majesty the Kaiser may never have imagined how completely different the "increased production capacity" he said was from Zhu Fugui's "slightly increased production during the war".

Zhu Fugui maintained a kind smile, and did not expose the little brother's delusion.

……

In the [-]th century, in addition to indicators of industrial strength such as steel and coal, manpower, or the total number of troops, was also an important indicator of a country's national strength.

If the number is useless, Tsarist Russia will not become a "European military police".

Last year's Franco-Prussian War was a fresh example. The overwhelmingly superior Prussian army defeated the "elite" French soldiers.

Therefore, although Daming has the largest steel output, but in the Three Emperors system, it does not show the style of taking the lead.

After all, the gun hits the head.

Brother William likes to show off his prestige, Ming Liangzong is happy to see it succeed.

At present, the standing troops of Germany and the Ottomans are respectively 60 and 80.

In comparison, the Ming Dynasty only had 40 people, of which more than [-] were farmers, which really pales in comparison.

However, the universal military service system and the improved railway network allowed Daming to quickly deal with enemies from multiple directions with only a small number of troops in its homeland.

Of course, to fight a world-class war, 40 people are definitely not enough.

The standing troops of Germany and the Ottomans are also far from enough.

In the Franco-Prussian War, the North German Federal Army quickly reached 100 million soldiers.

This is unimaginable for an agricultural country like the Manchu Qing.

Now that Germany is unified, after a period of recuperation, it is not surprising that there are two to three million violent soldiers.

On the contrary, although the Ottomans have more standing troops than Germany, their potential and mobilization ability are not as good as the Germans. I am afraid that they will end up with 200 million.

As for how many people Daming can mobilize, this question cannot be answered.

Don't talk too much about tanks.

Just talking about infantry, the Ming Army equipped with high-performance bulletproof helmets and ceramic plate vests, the individual capabilities of the soldiers are definitely far beyond this era.

It's no joke that a Han is a five Hu.

However, the high expenditure on individual equipment also limited the size of the professional army of the Ming Dynasty.

Sending precious people to serve as cannon fodder on a battlefield similar to the Verdun meat grinder in World War I is contrary to Zhu Fugui's original intention.

This is not the pedantry of Song Xiang's formula, but has practical considerations.

The Ming Dynasty and other Chinese countries occupied North and South America and China, including the 100 million square kilometers cut out from the "Great India" area. These places need to be populated.

The population of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was said to be [-] million, but it may actually be [-] million, but this is far from enough.

If there is not enough population, what is the point of Ming Dynasty occupying so many places?

Therefore, Zhu Fugui can only promise that in the war, Daming's troops will not be less than 80.

Chapter 589

After being drunk, I don't know that the sky is on the water, and the boat is full of dreams and the galaxy.

When the sun was shining on his face, Zhu Fugui rubbed his eyes, stretched himself and sat up.

Haven't slept so comfortably in a long time.

The fatigue of the past few days has been swept away, Chen B has returned to her best condition, and I am that youthful boy again!

During the Olympic Games, Zhu Fugui became a leader who had not seen for a long time. Zhuge Liang and Zhu Yuanzhang almost got down on the ground.

Even my open body can't stand it, I really don't know how they persisted.

Of course, the emperor who must do everything himself may not be Zhu Yuanzhang, but it may also be Zhu Youjian. Zhu Fugui doesn't want this kind of hard work!

Yawning, Zhu Fugui wiped away his tears, then frowned.

He couldn't remember how he fell asleep.

Obviously, in the last second of his memory, he was chatting with brother William and brother Abdul, sharing the reactionary friendship of the feudal emperor, and woke up from his temporary bedroom in the next second.

In the middle, I only remember vaguely, as if someone said something like, "This Emperor Ming is inferior".

I don't remember the rest.

However, from the venue security to the waitresses are all his own people, Zhu Fugui is not worried that someone will take the opportunity to plot against him.

Wanting to lift the quilt to get up, Zhu Fugui suddenly found that his feet were heavy.

Looking down, it turned out that Yin Susu was lying on the edge of the bed, with her arms under her head, and had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Beside her was a low table with a washbasin and towels on it.

Carefully pulling her feet out, Zhu Fugui got up, gently put her on the bed, and walked out of the room.

As soon as he went out, his vision was dark.

It turned out that Lao Li was wearing an apron, holding a frying pan in his hand, and was planning to ask Sheng An.

"Long live, you are awake, you really scared this old slave to death yesterday!"

"What happened?" Zhu Fugui couldn't help asking, "I can't remember at all."

Old Li said: "Those two fan hair ghosts are really not human beings. They actually encouraged you to drink so much wine yesterday. When the guards came back... Long live, you look like a dragon and a phoenix, and you seem to have the attitude of Ji Kang and Ruan Ji..."

"Hey, Lao Li, you are getting better and better!"

Zhu Fugui smiled and said, "What is the posture of a dragon and a phoenix, Ji Kang and Ruan Ji, it's because I'm drunk and crazy!"

Lao Li quickly shook his head like a rattle: "Long Live is the Son of Heaven, how can you get drunk with a little ordinary wine..."

Zhu Fugui shook his head, ignored Lao Li's flattery, turned around and went to the toilet to brush his teeth and wash his face in dragon pants.

Lao Li hurriedly asked the court lady to come forward to help and set the table.

After studying at the Beef God in Fusang, Lao Li has a new perspective on making Tomahawk steak.

According to him, dismantling a cow with bare hands can indeed preserve the most beautiful taste of beef.

It's already ten o'clock in the morning, and I don't know if it's breakfast or lunch. Zhu Fugui ate two pieces of steak, three fried eggs, and a big bowl of wonton noodles in one sitting, and finally he was [-]% full.

Lao Li didn't say anything, and Zhu Fugui could guess that he must have vomited so much last night that he vomited his stomach to nothing, which is why he was so hungry.

Sure enough, drinking hurts your health!

If he drank like this every day, Zhu Fugui felt that he would not live up to his 1948th birthday on January 1, 25!

Having said that, Zhu Fugui vowed never to drink with Germans and Turks again.

These guys don't talk about martial arts at the wine table!

Of course, if you encounter Maozi, you have to avoid its edge.

There are quite a few people in Huaxia who can drink, but Zhu Fugui and Bengui are not included anyway.

Sure enough, Happy Water is the unique wine in the palace of the Sacred Heart!

What wort juice, grape juice, are not good juices!

After eating the wonton noodles, Zhu Fugui cooked another bowl of noodles himself, and asked the maid to deliver it to Concubine Yin if she woke up later.

Then, Zhu Fugui planned to take advantage of this long-lost spare time, lie on the sofa, and use the system's wall-climbing function to criticize some decadent websites.

However, at this moment, the correspondent brought two troublesome reports to Zhu Fugui.

The first thing is that three long-distance runners from Pacific Ocean have disappeared from the Olympic Village.

They are said to have left a note with some drawings on it.

After Jin Yiwei's research, and asked the children of Xinhu No. [-] Primary School to decipher, they finally concluded that they felt that Haiti was too bitter and wanted to smuggle into Daming.

That's not bad.

Although the Ming court has always aimed at unity and friendship, and the great unity of the world's nations, it has followed the principles of rationality and legality since ancient times, and treated all nations in the world that are friendly to the Ming Dynasty in a peaceful, rational and friendly manner.

Daming did not discriminate against black people, did not enslave them, and did not engage in genocide.

But this does not mean that they are allowed to come to Daming to "improve their lives".

Since ancient times, there were only Kunlun slaves in Daming, and there were no black people.

Zhu Fugui immediately made six phone calls to Wang Hongtao, Taipinni, who had not yet left Xinhu.

During the phone call, Ming Liangzong greeted His Excellency King Ni's eight generations of female relatives cordially, and wished him good health with concern.

At the same time, Ming Liangzong also asked His Excellency, King Ni, if he would need to prepare enough cotton for the 80-year free travel in Alaska.

Hong Tao said in tears that he would deeply understand his mistakes, never make such mistakes again, and never cause trouble for Da Ming's father again.

Ming Liangzong said, little brother, what are you doing?

I, Daming, have always persuaded people with reasoning, not to vent my anger on you.

How about this, when Jin Yiwei arrests the three Nigerian citizens and brings them to justice, I will return them to you, brother. I hope that you, brother, must follow the principles of curing diseases and saving lives, and learning from past mistakes to avoid future ones. You must not engage in voodoo teachings.

If you dare to intimidate the people of Nigeria and abuse the strict laws of torture, Big Brother will criticize you, understand?

Hong Tao nodded six times, and hastily expressed that he would cherish this opportunity and hand in an answer that satisfies his loving father, so that his loving father can criticize him more!

……

After setting the tone of sending the man back to the Ni country, Zhu Fugui will not care about this matter, and Hong Taoliu will naturally come to ask for instructions and report at that time.

As for arresting people.

After the three clouded leopards that Lao Li captured from Java got lost a few years ago, one has not been found yet.

But that's because Jin Yiwei didn't mobilize, and Daming's arrest force didn't really move.
