Chapter 831 Dream
When the Maginot Line plan was first introduced, it was claimed that only three people in France knew of its existence.
These three people are the French president, prime minister, and commander-in-chief of the French army.
But as for France's change of three prime ministers this year, not only is everyone aware of it, the news has already spread on a large scale.
Some so-called "secrets" cannot be kept. A large project worth billions of francs involves hundreds of thousands of people and countless supporting companies. The project is located on the German-French border, so there are no secrets along the Maginot Line. It can be said.
The Maginot Line is essentially similar to Russia's Rovno exercise, both flexing muscles and showing off force.
France's background of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside was fully exposed through the Maginot Line.
If France was really confident, it would not spend a lot of effort building a defense line with obvious loopholes. Instead, like Russia, it should spend more energy on offense.
No matter how strong the defense line is, it can only be used for defense and will not be helpful for offense.
Russia is now not only building up its armored forces, but is also making great efforts to upgrade its air force equipment, and its naval ships are also constantly being updated.
Unlike the British who sold iron to build battleships, the Russian Navy has spent its main energy on transportation and logistics support in recent years, with a clear positioning.
Russia's main force is definitely the army, and this will not change at any time.
In Russia, the importance of the air force has surpassed that of the navy and has become the second largest service. Under the leadership of someone, Russia is once again at the forefront of the world.
Guderian and Rommel were deeply influenced by Russia and also understood the importance of the air force in modern warfare. However, Germany was restricted by the Treaty of Versailles and was not allowed to organize an air force.
Hindenburg still had a way. Although he could not organize an air force, the civil aviation field was not restricted. Various official and private aviation clubs sprouted all over Germany. The number of registered pilots in Germany had surpassed that of Britain and France as early as 1925.
There are now about as many registered pilots in Germany as there are in the UK and France combined.
Karl Jr. approached Guchkov, hoping that Russia could support Germany in expanding its police force in the League of Nations.
Just after the World War, the number of German police was only 80,000, which increased to 150,000 in 1923.
Against the background of the economic crisis, Germany has also begun to become turbulent. In order to maintain the stability of Germany, Germany has requested to expand the size of its police force to 400,000.
In order to improve the combat effectiveness and deterrence of the German police, Karl Jr. also hopes that Russia will support the German police in equipping armored vehicles.
Since the armored vehicles to be equipped by the German police needed to be purchased from Russia, Guchkov readily agreed to Karl's request.
George did not interfere and focused on the changes in the situation in Germany.
Mustache was more radical than George imagined. Soon after taking office, he demanded reforms to the financial industry and nationalized banks.
This request was strongly opposed by the Hebrew Consortium.
Old Carl started to fight again, hoping that both sides would take a step back, the bank would still be managed by the consortium, and the officials could strengthen supervision of the bank.
"Juncker is not very good. If he is so timid, when will the renaissance of Germany be realized——"
Felix admired the mustache very much, but he didn't like old Carl very much.
"They are jointly planning."
George revealed the secret in one word, the Hebrew consortium was a pig raised by Juncker, and Mustache was the operator.
The influence of the Hebrew Consortium is very wide. In addition to Russia, it has great influence in Britain, France, the United States, and Germany. If Mustache acts too hastily, Germany will have no choice but to fully fall to Russia, and there will be no second choice.
Regardless of the fact that Germany has completely cut off trade with the United States, it can be repaired at any time if necessary, and American capital will never care about past grudges.
There is actually something fishy about cutting off trade.
After the end of the world war, the United States' direct investment in Germany exceeded US$15 billion, which is basically equal to the sum of Britain, France, and Russia. This can be stopped at any time.
Mustache is now the same as in France. It is not a desperate move to die as a Taoist friend but not as a poor Taoist.
"We also enclosed the Hebrews, fattened them, and killed them!"
Felix was so murderous that he couldn't take advantage of the Germans.
"It's not necessary. If we do our own thing well, we will be invincible."
George wanted nothing to do with the Hebrews.
Regardless of everything, there is a cause and effect, and thoughts are worthy of suffering. Russia has paid a heavy price to get to where it is today. George does not want to be attached to cause and effect.
No matter how Juncker and the Hebrews fight, it has nothing to do with Russia. Russia is now working hard to become the world's factory and not give Angsa and the Hebrews a chance to poison the world.
Britain has led the world for 200 years. The only thing it does is maintain its hegemony. Its contribution to the world is mediocre and its evil deeds are countless.
George hopes to lead the world with technology and reshape the world into a new order.
Although the slogan of the world order led by Britain and France is "civilization", its background is barbarism and plunder. Anyone who dares to challenge the order will be besieged by Britain and France. This was the case in the Russo-Japanese War and the world war. If Russia no longer leads in technology one day, it will be able to survive by selling resources, which is fundamentally different from Britain and France.
If Britain and France lost their military hegemony and could not plunder foreign countries, they would be no different from Spain.
Although Russia has not formulated more welfare systems in the past two years, the living standards of Russians have continued to improve, and even the Baltic Sea coast, which used to be the most anti-Russian, is no longer struggling.
The hardest-hit areas during the Russian Empire were the Baltic Sea coast and Warsaw. After ten years of great migration, the main residents of the Baltic Sea coast and Warsaw have been replaced by Slavs. The locals either left Russia or dispersed around the country. They have long since given up the thought of trouble. Work hard honestly to build a better life.
In fact, we cannot blame them for rebelling. During the Russian Empire, the Baltic Sea coast and Warsaw had the heaviest taxes. It is said that the government forced the people to rebel, and the local public security was unstable, and the government had to bear a large responsibility.
After immigrating to Siberia, I was given a ten-year tax exemption for housing and land, and it was extended for another five years after it expired last year. As long as I work hard, I can live and work in peace and contentment. Even if someone wants to rebel, no one will respond, and it won't cause much trouble. .
Compared with immigrants in Russia, new immigrants who immigrated to Russia quickly settled down, and they were luckier.
The Russians first experienced a world war and then a civil war, and almost every household wore sackcloth and mourning, and only then did they live the life they live today.
No matter how much suffering the new immigrants suffered before coming to Russia, it has nothing to do with Russia. They are just sitting back and enjoying the benefits at almost no cost.
Lewis, who worked for the Birmingham Small Arms Company for 30 years, now works for a machining company producing parts for automobiles.
Russia has a minimum wage guarantee system. Although Lewis's income is similar to that at the Birmingham Arms Company, because prices in Russia are cheaper, Lewis's income alone can meet the family's expenses.

Although the system in Russia is good, the factory owners are not human beings and actually use the piece-rate system to squeeze productivity as hard as they can.
When Lewis was working at the Birmingham Small Arms Company, although he worked more than 10 hours a day, the work intensity was not very intense and there were many ways to be lazy.
The working hours in Russia are only 8 hours, so you can be lazy if you want. As long as the pass rate reaches the standard, the supervisor will not care at all, but the income gap will widen with your colleagues.
In the first month of his arrival, Lewis only received a salary of 60 rubles and felt good about himself.
Looking at my colleagues, almost all of them paid more than 100 rubles, and the most was three times that of Lewis. I was instantly mentally unbalanced.
The Archduke is a good Archduke.
Policies are also good policies.
Damn black-hearted boss: Volume! Roll them all up for me!
60 rubles is actually quite a lot. Not to mention being rich and wealthy, basic expenses can still be guaranteed.
But his wife wants to buy a big house of his own, his granddaughter wants to buy beautiful floral clothes, his younger son wants a cool motorcycle, and Lewis himself wants to go to a pub with his colleagues for a cool drink after get off work. money.
Lewis had no choice but to roll out the papers as hard as his colleagues, so starting from the second month, Lewis also received 150 rubles.
With 1,800 rubles per year, which is considered a high income in Russia, you can buy a small house of 10 square meters in the suburbs of Constantinople.
You can go to the prosperous area in the city center. As long as you can afford it, Yuriev Palace can sell it to you.
Except for the hard work, everything else is very good and impeccable.
Compared with the UK, prices in Russia are very low, especially in terms of food. Not only are the prices low, but the types of food are more abundant. You can eat tropical fruits even in winter. This is a enjoyment only available to the rich and powerful in the UK.
Lewis is a new immigrant and has not passed the inspection period yet. When the inspection period is over, Lewis plans to retire at home with his wife and take care of his grandchildren. The task of earning a house will be left to his two sons.
In fact, Lewis still has some savings and could buy a small house now if he were willing to take out a loan.
Lewis is more conservative. He doesn’t want to take out a loan, but he also wants to buy a big house in one step, so he still has to wait.
"Let's buy it. Buy a small house first. We will live with the children. We can't have the whole family crowded together."
Mrs. Lewis hopes to settle down as soon as possible, and house prices are rising every month.
The good news is that the fastest rising prices are in luxury homes in the city centre. Houses in the suburbs have not seen much growth, at least within an acceptable range.
"Dad, I passed the engineer exam and can get the engineer qualification certificate next month!"
Lewis's youngest son was full of joy. His eight-handed bicycle could finally be replaced by a brand new motorcycle.
"Don't buy a motorcycle if you want to be an engineer. Wouldn't it be better to save money to buy a car?"
Lewis was demanding of his children.
"What to change? Buying a house is the serious thing!"
At home, Mrs. Lewis is the head of the family.
"I can still work for 30 years, and I will have a house and a car."
The younger son is ambitious, and neither a car nor a house is a dream.
