    "In other words, in your opinion, it is not the poor who have nothing but the rich who have property who need to be restricted?"

    In the Chancellor¡¯s Office of Schulenberg Palace, the German Chancellery at No. 77 Wilhelmstrasse in Berlin, German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck asked in a deep voice to Friedrich Engels, the visiting Chairman of the British Revolutionary Committee.  ¡¶

    Under Bismarck's gloomy gaze, Engels just smiled and replied: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I think you have misunderstood some of the policies adopted by the British Revolutionary Committee. In fact, in our opinion, it is not the rich who need to be restricted.  , but capital! Because the rich and the poor are all citizens of a certain country or a subject of a certain monarch, and it is their natural obligation to love the country and the monarch so they are not patriotic!"

    "Oh? Your point of view is quite new." Bismarck raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Engels.  He greatly appreciated the talent of the Socialist Party leader in front of him, but Bismarck was very disgusted with the Socialist Party's political stance of speaking for workers and farmers and representing the interests of capitalists and Juncker landlords.

    "Mr. Prime Minister, don't you know what a disgraceful role capital played in the collapse of the United States of America and the British Empire?" Friedrich Engels looked at Bismarck with bright eyes, "You should know that the United States of America  The tragic fate of China began with the Civil War. The Chinese took advantage of this American civil war and took advantage of it. It was also because of this war that Mexico emerged as a powerful country in the Americas, right?¡±

    "Yes, I know." Bismarck nodded. The Chancellor of the German Empire had no intention of defending American capitalists.  "The cause of this war is indeed the selfishness of the northern factory owners in the United States! It was they who destroyed the United States of America!"

    "But the Morgan Consortium and the DuPont Consortium have now become the second and third largest conglomerates in the Kingdom of Mexico! Their wealth has increased by 500% compared to before the First North American War. This time among the explosives and gunpowder used by the Donghua Army.  30% were produced by the Mexican DuPont Company, and the Mexican Morgan Bank underwrote 100 million silver pesos of Donghua bonds," Friedrich Engels pointed out coldly.  "In addition, how did the financial crisis that caused the collapse of the British Empire come about? Who made huge profits from the battle to defend the pound? Mr. Prime Minister should be as clear as I am, right?"

    "The Barings and the Rothschilds" Bismarck remained calm.

    "The British Empire lost everything, but the Barings and Rothschilds transferred more than 2 billion gold francs to Rome!" Friedrich Engels had a sarcastic smile on his lips.  "And as far as I know, little King Solomon of Austria is now one of the Prime Minister's best friends!"

    "Little King Solomon" is the head of the Rothschild family in Austria, Little Solomon Rothschild. His father Solomon. Rothschild has the nickname "King Solomon" in the Austrian Empire, which is an Austrian proverb.  It goes like this: "In Austria there was an Emperor Franz and a King Solomon."

    The empire established by Solomon Rothschild during his lifetime controlled the finance, mining and heavy industry of the Austrian Empire, and he was the most influential businessman in Austria.  He was a guest at the Hofburg Palace and Sch?nbrunn Palace.  But now, his son Solomon Rothschild Jr. is fighting fiercely with the dignitaries of the German Empire, looking northward with his neck stretched out as if loyal to the king.  It¡¯s just that his allegiance was not to Emperor Franz Joseph and the Holy Roman Empire, but to the German Empire of William I!

    "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, do you know the biggest difference between China, which won the world war, and Britain, which lost the world war? Or what is China's greatest advantage?"

    Bismarck frowned, "Isn't it population?"

    "It's not population, because the Chinese won world hegemony without tens of millions of bayonets, and their demographic advantage has not been reflected." Engels said eloquently, "In my opinion, China's greatest advantage is the country.  Owning a consortium China's largest consortium, the Imperial Consortium, and the second largest consortium, the Xingye Consortium, are both directly controlled by the royal family, while the owner of the fourth largest consortium, the Heshun Consortium, is Zheng Hong, Zhu Jishi's earliest follower.

    The biggest disadvantage of the UK is that the consortium owns the country!  Therefore, China's financial groups are restricted and can only contribute to the country honestly.  However, the British consortium is using the country to make profits. Once something goes wrong, they will immediately transfer their wealth to other countries and run away.  Mr. Prime Minister, do you think we should learn from the victorious China or the failed Britain?  "

    Under the gaze of Friedrich Engels, the corners of Otto von Bismarck's mouth twitched slightly.  Obviously, in his heart, he already somewhat agrees with Engels' statement - capital must be restricted so that they can serve the interests of the country, rather than allowing the country to become a victim of capital's unscrupulous profit-making as in the case of Britain and the United States!

    ¡°?Are poor people who have nothing really that reliable?  They can just walk away!  Bismarck looked at Engels and said coldly, "These people have always been a destabilizing factor for the country!"  "

    Engels laughed and nodded vigorously, "Yes, so socialist Britain does not allow such people to exist! We want to eliminate the poor, or rather, we want to transform them into property owners owning 20 acres  The small farmers or the middle class who own urban real estate are the real backbone of the country and the most loyal group of people to the country. The war in North America can prove this!"

    "Really?" Bismarck was a little confused.

    "The bravest soldiers on the North American battlefield were the middle class of Donghua and the United States. Those men who came from farmer families with 50 to 200 acres of land were the bravest and fearless soldiers. In the United States occupied by Donghua  It is already difficult to find adult white men on the land in the central agricultural area, because almost all of them died for the country!

    In comparison, the combat effectiveness of the British Army, which is mainly composed of poor people with nothing, is much worse.  When the United States was completely defeated, 600,000 of the 800,000 troops sent by the British were still intact, and at least half of the remaining 200,000 troops were in Chinese prisoner-of-war camps.  In the Second American War of Independence, which ended not long ago, the British army performed equally poorly This shows that an army composed of urban poor cannot defeat an army composed of small and medium-sized farmers.  Because the latter has to defend its own land, while the former has nothing to defend.  "

    "It seems to make sense!" Bismarck nodded. The war in North America certainly attracted the attention of the world.  The bravery and determination of the Donghua and American troops on the battlefield even surprised European military strategists.  In comparison, the British team is completely vulnerable to rubbish!

    "Mr. Prime Minister, this is not a bit of truth, but it is the truth!" Engels stood up and walked back and forth in Bismarck's office.  "Britain's failure and Donghua's success were not entirely military, but also political! A country composed of hundreds of thousands of big bourgeois and tens of millions of poor people who have nothing, can't defeat 1,800  A country composed of tens of thousands of middle-class people! In fact, during the Napoleonic Wars, the French middle peasants severely taught the British poor, the Russian serfs, and of course our German paupers on the battlefieldif it hadn't been for Napoleon I's own stupidity.  We went to Russia to freeze and killed 600,000 troops, and now we all have to speak French!¡±

    Engels suddenly lowered his tone and looked at Bismarck with bright eyes, "Napoleon III and Napoleon IV have always spared no effort to support the small and medium-sized farmers of the Roman Empire!"

    Bismarck nodded frequently. He himself was a Junker landowner, so he naturally knew that the yeoman farmers with small and medium-sized farms were the backbone of the army.  Moreover, such small and medium-sized farmers are loyal supporters of the king in most cases, and are definitely more reliable than the bourgeoisie

    "But you shouldn't confiscate the land of nobles. Many people in Germany are extremely disgusted with this now!"

    "Well, I can understand their resentment." Engels also nodded, and then said helplessly, "But the land in the UK is very concentrated, and most of the land is in the hands of no more than 10,000 families. If  Without confiscating their land, there is no way I can let 10 million British poor people own land and become the middle force of the country. This situation is completely different from the current Germany, because Germany has acquired Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Belarus and half of Ukraine.  The fertile land there can be distributed to the poor of Germany without harming the interests of the Junker nobles. As long as the German imperial government does this, who will propose to divide the land of the Junker landowners equally?¡±

    "Yeah." Bismarck nodded noncommittally.  "Then let's talk about Prince William's succession to the British throne Mr. Engels, I think you know very well that this will cause a break between us and the Roman Empire!"

    "Will there be a war?" Engels asked with a smile.

    "No, the Chinese are watching eagerly, and Matilde and Juan's mother and son have ulterior motives. Napoleon IV dare not provoke a war with the German Empire at this time. But the market of the Roman Empire will close the door to Germany!  "

    "No problem, there are still markets in Russia and China." Engels smiled, "Russia needs to industrialize in the next few decades, and the Great China Empire is too big and there are too many places that need to be built."

    ¡°Can a binding trade agreement be signed?¡± Bismarck asked rhetorically.

    Engels nodded, "Of course! I have a way to broker trade agreements with Russia and China. The markets of Russia and China will be open to Germany!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
