Chapter 691: Every injustice has its owner, its debt has its owner
In Russia and Europe alone, the output of raw steel in 1917 was 5.95 million tons, which shrank to only 400,000 tons last year.
In addition to Amur, George also has several steel plants in East India, which do not need to be turned over.
It is not turned over, but jointly operated.
After the reform, the proportion of private shares held will not exceed 30%, and the state will compensate private individuals for the excess.
If the cost of reconstruction exceeds the residual value, private individuals who want to own shares will also need to pay the difference.
In this way, the Yuriev family's steel factory and the Yusupov family's steel factory are in completely different situations.
Amur is far away from the battlefield, and the steel plant has not suffered any losses. If the alliance is formed, Russia will compensate the Yuriev family.
The Yusupov family's steel plant was severely damaged, and the reconstruction costs were jointly funded by the Russian government and the Yusupov family.
If you don’t want to pay, the steel factory has nothing to do with the Yusupov family.
Yusupova had no objection to the plan, but was dissatisfied with the results because the evaluation team sent by the Ministry of Industry valued the Yusupov Steel Plant too low.
The assessment team was sent by Felix.
Felix and little Felix went into battle together to do Yusupova's ideological work.
Every round of social unrest is a new round of wealth distribution, and a new vested interest class will be born.
If the Yusupov family misses this opportunity, it will be difficult to return to the center of power.
It’s not that Yusupova doesn’t understand this truth, she just doesn’t want to do it.
“East India is now the Grand Duchy of Yuriev, and George is certainly qualified to do this——”
Yusupova doesn’t even know how many caves George has.
It is said that a cunning rabbit has three burrows, and George has more than three.
Amur is George's hometown. George has devoted himself to running it for many years. Even if the Ministry of Industry takes over the steel plant in Amur, it will still have to rely on the previous management to ensure the smooth operation of the steel plant.
In recent years, George has established another industrial system in East India. East India not only has steel plants, but also shipyards, providing one-stop production and sales.
In addition to East India, the Kingdom of Bulgaria is also the back garden of the Yuriev family.
This is not even counting Korea and Japan.
"Xena, we need to redeem ourselves."
Felix hit the nail on the head.
The wealth owned by the Yuriev family has long surpassed that of the Yusupov family, but the Russian media is still biting the Yusupov family and believes that the Yusupov family is the first family in Russia.
This is not a compliment, it is flattery.
The Romanovs, the most prominent families in the empire, have completely withered away, leaving only Nicholas Jr. and Dmitry to support them.
The Suvorov family only developed in the military. Vasily was George's brother-in-law, and his status was still strong.
Although the Yuriev family is sparse in number, its strength is so huge that it is formidable.
The Dolgorukov family and Yuriev are related by marriage, and both prosper and suffer.
What to do with the Yusupov family?
If this opportunity is not seized, the Yusupov family will be marginalized.
Finally eliminated.
“We have already undertaken the rebuilding of the railways, isn’t that enough?”
Yusupova believes that Yusupov has paid enough.
“Not enough, far from enough——”
Felix is wily.
"If we just want to continue, that is indeed enough; but if we want to remain at the center of imperial power, we have to do more."
"The Tsar is gone, where can we What else is an empire?”
Yusupova was impotent and furious.
Felix spread his hands speechlessly, what could he do if George was not the czar.
If George becomes the Tsar, then these are George's responsibilities.
When George is no longer czar, everyone will have to fend for themselves.
While Felix was busy rebuilding heavy industry, George was planning for Russian industry.
During the Russian Empire, there were two industrial centers in Russia and Europe. One was the Ural region centered on Yekaterinburg, and the other was around St. Petersburg.
George decided to move the heavy industry of St. Petersburg to the Ural region.
St. Petersburg is mainly based on light industry to meet the growing material needs of Russians.
George did not forget the reason for the collapse of Red Russia.
There were many reasons for the collapse of Red Russia. One of the important reasons was that Russia was top-heavy at that time, paying too much attention to heavy industry and neglecting the development of light industry.
Compared with national affairs, food, clothing, housing and transportation are closely related to the lives of all Russians. Only when the needs of Russians are met will they devote more enthusiasm to their work and life.
Compared with the Russian and European regions, Amur's light industry is very developed, with both high-end clothing for wealthy people and cheap goods that meet the daily needs of ordinary people.
The order of playing the same cards in George's hand and in Nicholas's hand is completely different.
Nicolas was keen on grand narratives and ignored people's livelihood, and was eventually overthrown by the angry Russians. George did not even participate in the Paris Peace Conference and had no interest in so-called international affairs. He just wanted to live his own life behind closed doors.
Russia has so many resources that it can fully meet the needs of the Russians without plundering them from the outside.
If you want to eat well, there is no problem. Beef and mutton from Siberia and aquatic products from the Black Sea and Baltic Sea are all available.
It’s okay to wear beautiful clothes. You can question the character of the Russians, but you can definitely believe in the aesthetics of the Russians.
Cars and motorcycles are Amur's strength. During the World War, Amur produced 1.5 million cars, most of which were used by the Russian army.
George will focus on civilian cars in the future. High-end cars will continue to be produced, and mid-range and low-end cars will also start to be developed. George's goal is to make every Russian family affordable.
This goal is too ambitious. Let every Russian family afford a motorcycle first. This is more realistic.
Witt approached George, hoping to officially move the capital from St. Petersburg to Constantinople.
George disagreed.
Although Constantinople is good, it is too close to the Mediterranean Sea. The most ideal location for the capital is in Crimea.
Crimea is not as cold as St. Petersburg and Moscow, and the transportation is very convenient.
After owning the Bosporus, the Black Sea has almost become Russia's inner lake, and its security is fully guaranteed.
The most important thing is that Crimea was hardly affected by the war. Even the palaces and villas built by the czars and Russian nobles during the Russian Empire have been completely preserved, and they are most suitable for use as official residences at all levels.
Witt had no resistance to George's decision, and whatever George said was what he said.
At the same time that Werther was sending invitations to designers around the world, the Paris Peace Conference finally entered its official agenda.
The size of the group of ten was still too large, so Clemenceau decided to reduce the group of ten to a group of eight.
This time it was Italy that was sacrificed.
Italian Prime Minister Orlando was very angry. In addition to asking the Austro-Hungarian Empire to return the occupied territories, he also wanted to get the Port of Fiume, located on the Kvarner Bay of the Adriatic Sea, as a way to expand to the Balkans. base point.
The Port of Fiume is part of Croatia, and Polis is eyeing it. It is naturally impossible for Nicholas Jr. to agree to the Italians' request.
Orlando was very angry and followed Clemenceau and Wilson in withdrawing from the Paris Peace Conference, hoping to achieve his own goals.
Clemenceau and Wilson had the confidence to withdraw because they knew that without them, the peace conference would fail.
Don’t you know how much the Kingdom of Italy weighs?
Orlando thought that Clemenceau and Lloyd George would bring him back with an eight-carat sedan.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, Paris newspapers suddenly published the news that the Kingdom of Hungary would cede Transylvania to the Balkan Alliance and leave it to the Balkan Alliance.
Orlando was confused. Didn't anyone tell me about such a big thing?
So Orlando returned to the venue dejectedly.
This time Orlando was honest, raising his hand when asked, banging the hammer when asked, and accompanying him throughout the whole process.
The Kingdom of Hungary not only agreed to cede Transylvania to Romania, but also agreed to hand over Bosnia and Herzegovina to the Balkan Union and allow independence for Croatia and Slovenia.
Croatia and Slovenia immediately announced that they would join the Kingdom of Bulgaria and become part of the Kingdom of Bulgaria.
No one paid attention to the fate of the Kingdom of Hungary.
Germany is the focus.
Clemenceau's return to Saar was strongly opposed by Lloyd George and Wilson.
For the sake of future peace, Lloyd George did not recommend excessively weakening Germany.
Wilson bluntly said: "I have never heard of the Saar issue."
Clemenceau was very angry and cursed during an interview with reporters, calling Wilson a pro-German element.
So the next day French newspapers began to denounce Wilson.
Wilson was helpless.
The goodwill the United States accumulated in France through the World War has been completely consumed by Wilson.
Wilson asked his personal representative, Colonel House, to find Clemenceau and say that the United States would reconsider its position on the east bank of the Rhine and the Saar issue.
Clemenceau was delighted.
So the next day's French newspapers began to praise Wilson again, touting him as the founder of European democracy.
Wilson was even more confused.
Are you French people so flexible in their stance?
Alexander’s trip not only opened his eyes, he felt that his eyes were opened.
During the Russian Empire, Russia’s control over the news media was very weak. People in St. Petersburg could actually criticize the policies of the Russian Empire in newspapers, and even dared to slander the Russian Empress as a German spy. without any punishment.
Look at what France, the most dishonest country in Europe, does. If you are asked to scold you, you have to scold, and if you are told to brag, you have to brag. The promised freedom is freedom.
"The culture of France and the United Kingdom belongs to the ruling class and has nothing to do with the civilian class."
Little Nicholas has already seen through the hypocrisy of the British and French.
The British and French deceived the Russians with boiling water, which led to the overthrow of the Tsar and the demise of the empire.
Little Nicholas is holding fire in his belly, and sooner or later this revenge will be avenged.
