Chapter 483 Everyone gets what they need
Half a day later, in Frankfurt, a Vulture bomber took off into the sky.
His Majesty's guards who had chased after him shook their heads and sighed, then went to report to His Majesty.
Friedrich III in Berlin was furious. "There is a spy around me. Investigate it for me! The garrison in Frankfurt disobeyed orders. The generals should be arrested and shot. The air force general should be asked to resign!"
"Report! Your deputy chief of the guard committed suicide. The commander of the Frankfurt garrison has absconded. The general of the air force personally flew a plane to escort the brothers Alfonso and Gustav to escape. He has already arrived in London."
Friedrich III: ...
…………
When Shao Quanzhong returned to Hailing from Nantong Military Airport, he immediately received news that shocked the world: Germany, France and Lucia were simultaneously issuing global warrants for the arrest of the brothers Alfonso and Gustav.
The German Emperor and the French Emperor simultaneously received recordings sent by unknown persons, while the Tsar received evidence that the brothers funded the assassination of Alexander II. This was the most successful overseas operation since the establishment of the Intelligence Service.
The German Emperor was furious about the murder of his father and the frame-up of the French Emperor, but the financial capital of both countries had many eyes and ears, so the results were far from satisfactory.
The two countries froze the brothers’ assets immediately. However, within just half a day’s reaction time, most of the assets in the banks were transferred to the brothers’ bank accounts in the British Empire and the Commonwealth.
As for Lucia, she had already eliminated financial capital, and the wanted order was just a way to vent her anger.
In fact, the wanted order of the three countries was of no use. The Bank of England was opened by the two brothers, and all the British nobles were involved with them. The United Kingdom announced that it would provide asylum to the two brothers.
However, the monk may run away, but the temple cannot. The cash can be withdrawn, but the investment in the industry will be lost. German Prime Minister Caprivi and French Interior Minister Fleurance were very happy. The creditor ran away, and the high-interest loan did not need to be repaid.
Bulgarian Tsar Shao Quanxiao sent a special telegram to the two brothers in London to express his sympathy for their plight.
In view of the joint pressure exerted by the three countries of Germany, France and Romania, Bulgaria had to succumb and temporarily take over your brother's banking system in the Southern Slavic Federation.
We will take care of it for you first, and the loan will be recorded in the account. When you return to the European continent, we will definitely pay you back, yes...
Shao Quanzhong laughed loudly towards the sky. The two brothers were expelled from the European continent, their strength was greatly reduced, and they had even less energy to think about Daxia.
The two brothers could not trace the matter back to Shao Quanzhong at all. The two brothers had been running rampant in Europe and had offended so many people that they themselves did not know which enemy had framed them.
"Reporting to the Marshal, this is a document signed jointly by European countries, applying to import population from Daxia. The requirements are unmarried adult men to help solve the serious imbalance in the ratio of marriageable men and women and the serious labor shortage caused by the European war."
"They promised to give us resettlement money, land and wives when we arrive. We need to pay for the shipping fee ourselves - they are not stupid, they have heard about our difficulties in the north."
This is perfect. The northern part of Daxia needs to solve the problem of exporting 40 million people. I want to see how many they are short of.
Shao Quanzhong took over the report, "Britain needs 200 million, France needs 280 million, Italy needs 140 million, and after the Southern Slavic Federation absorbs Serbia and Montenegro, it will need another 100 million, Belgium needs 10, and Greece needs 5."
Shao Quanzhong calculated that the total was more than 7 million, plus the 3 million just sent to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which amounted to 10 million.
Previously, 10 million were sent to northern Japan, Russia, and Bulgaria. The European war and the civil war in Japan caused a shortage of 20 million adult men, which just helped Daxia solve the difficulties caused by the large-scale lack of rain in the five northern provinces in the second year of Dingwu.
It is not that 20 million people died in the civil wars in Europe and Japan. In fact, the number of soldiers who died was less than 10 million, but the number of disabled people was twice that of deaths. Half of the disabled veterans were unable to work and support their wives, and this was combined with the civilian casualties.
"Huh? Why don't Germany and Türkiye need population inflow? These two countries have also suffered heavy casualties."
"Report to the commander, it is a tradition in Türkiye that a man can marry four wives, so there are enough men."
Well, this actually became their advantage.
"What about Germany?" "Germany also allows polygamy, and after the war the government called on able men to take care of as many wives as possible."
Huh? I've never heard of this rule in Germany.
"It's not a current law. It's from 1648."
"Germany had a population of 1618 million in 1648. After the famous Thirty Years' War, there were only million left in . There was a severe shortage of males."
"In order to quickly restore the population, the German states have enacted laws that require an adult man to marry at least two wives, with no limit on the number of wives."
"Women must give birth to children, otherwise it is illegal. If the husband is infertile, women in Germany can ask neighbors for help, which is legal."
Um, I've learned something new.
"After the German population recovered, this decree was automatically ignored, but now it has been brought up again and re-enforced, and it is still effective."
Uh, shit, the Germans have experience in this area. In order to quickly restore the population, they will come up with all kinds of bad ideas.
"Um-why didn't Britain and France learn from the Germans?"
"It's not that the government doesn't want to learn, it's that the people don't want to. Their men can find lovers, but they don't want to work hard to support so many women."
This is something that the Germans and the Daxia people have in common, both are willing to take more responsibility for the country...
"Well - it's settled. Export 20 million workers and both sides have solved the problem."
"As for the fact that we are short of 20 million men, we ask men in other provinces to learn more about German patriotism and call on the wealthy to marry more wives. This is not a problem for Daxia and we don't need to provide subsidies."
The historical difficulties from 1878 to 1879 were solved by Shao Quanzhong, which made up for the population losses caused by the European war and changed the population structure of Europe.
There is another important reason. The industrialization of Daxia created a large number of wealthy people who could support the additional women.
Otherwise, in the history of our Qing Dynasty, these people would have died in ditches, which happened in the early years of the Guangxu period.
During the European War, thousands of cargo ships traveled back and forth between Europe and Daxia, and Daxia's supplies and arms were continuously shipped to Europe.
Now that the European war is over, freight traffic has decreased, but the transporters have not lost their jobs. They have switched to emigration ships. It will take several years to transport these 20 million people. For a while, the income of the ship owners will not decrease.
Having resolved the heavy burden on his mind as the ruler of Daxia, Shao Quanzhong felt a lot more relaxed. "Let's go and see how our submarine is doing."
Shao Quanzhong was on a business trip, going to the newly discovered gourd-shaped excellent port in Liaodong to inspect the newly built submarine company.
On the British side, will the brothers Alfonso and Gustav be devastated by the heavy blow they have suffered?
How is that possible? They still have assets that are rich enough to rival a country.
Two months later, the two brothers appeared in New York with completely changed appearances.
Under the gaze of the statue of Lucifer, Alfonso Rothschild and John Pierpont Morgan shook hands warmly and then had a long secret conversation.
