Xiao Letian and Besmai met on the streets of Paris on war horses. The two bigwigs surrounded by more than 600 elite soldiers, and the entire block was occupied.

In order to prevent hidden enemy attacks, McMahon also sent a battalion of soldiers to assist in defense. Of course, their most important task was to let the two big men try not to see the ugly appearance of Paris.

"This water tower is said to be the place where Deleklüz died in battle..." Bismer said with his head up.

"Yes, that's right... He is a good editor-in-chief of a newspaper and is very good at writing articles!" Xiao Letian looked up at Shuita and said with emotion.

"When will you go back to China?" Bismai looked at Xiao Letian and suddenly smiled. "Tell you good news. Tier is ready to pay the first war compensation, a full 500 million yuan!"

"I know you are going back to China, and the journey is long... For these 500 million miles, you should take away 300 million first, and I will take away the rest!"

As soon as this was said, the officers around him were in an uproar, "500 million gold francs? Have the French started to pay compensation? It's great..."

Germany and the Chinese fought hard and almost squeezed out everything. Isn’t the purpose of money? Climbing up on France’s corpse, the national fortune rushed up little by little.

In the thoughts of these officers, even if France wants to repay the war reparations, it will not happen overnight. After all, the Paris Civil War has just ended for a day or two, and the government functions have not been fully restored. The Ministry of Finance’s office has not been found, so where can I go to pay compensation?

In the minds of these officers, France will definitely restore government functions first, then restore reconstruction, and wait until the taxes begin to accumulate little by little, and then repay the war reparations in batches.

Any country has such a routine. Why is France so strange? It can send 500 million in just two days after the civil war ended?

Xiao Letian was not as surprised as Pesme expected, and even asked back, "My old friend, why didn't I feel your surprise? France's performance was beyond your expectations, right?"

Pesme smiled awkwardly, "Well... I was a little surprised, but no matter what, we are all winners, aren't we?"

Xiao Letian knew very well that Germany blackmailed France a full 5 billion gold francs of compensation this time. In fact, there is an important task, which is to squeeze France alive for 30 years!

In Bismeer's judgment, it is impossible for France to spend 5 billion gold francs at once, and it will take about thirty years at the earliest.

The Frankfurt Treaty clearly stipulates that the German army will not withdraw its homeland until the compensation is settled!

After 30 years of garrisoning troops on French land, he also cut off two provinces and took away France's 5 billion in compensation, which could open a gap between Germany and France for a whole generation!

As long as Germany guarantees such a huge gap in national strength, France will never take revenge!

As long as the descendants of Germany do not commit suicide and defend their family business well, then Germany will at least be invincible!

This is the century-old plan of Pesme, suppressing France for thirty years and keeping a low profile for seventy years... As for what will happen a hundred years later, I believe that there will definitely be another excellent and great politician to lead the way at that time!

I, Beismai, can only make a hundred-year plan, and no matter how far I am, I can't do anything!

But I never expected that France's first step surprised Pesmeer. In just a few months, France actually generated 500 million in cash out of thin air!

Where did this money come from? If it were at this speed, it would be difficult for the garrison to be stationed for 30 years!

Xiao Letian walked on the street freely, "My friend, with your intelligence, it is impossible for me not to know that Gan Bida is issuing bonds in southern France at this moment, right?"

"This republican who identified is constantly giving speeches in major cities in France, helping France raise funds and starting to sell government bonds!"

"Ganbida is because of this war, and it is very high in southern France. It is not easy to have him come forward to sell some national debts!"

"Yes, of course I know what Ganbida is doing in the south. I'm just a little confused... Why did 500 million be raised so quickly?"

"Is France so rich? If it were so rich, why would Napoleon III have such a serious financial crisis in the end? He has no money to fight..."

Xiao Letian studied "Das Kapital" in his previous life and met the original author in this life. He is still mature about this problem.

"Haha... Prime Minister, you have calculated everything in this war, but this one is wrong!"

"I tell you that France's real national strength is completely stronger than you think, but these wealth has accumulated and has not appeared in the national fiscal system!"

Since the Age of Discovery, how much wealth has Europe plundered from the world? Spain and Portugal alone are countless, let alone the later sea coachman, the Netherlands.

Britain and France were not the first wave of taking the lead. They relied entirely on the power of the industrial revolution and later came from the top to snatch the baton from the first echelon.

At that time, Spain had no idea of ​​carrying out its own industrial development, and all the gold and silver they stolen were used to build churches, build palaces, and raise troops.

The people are simply hollowed out, and the fragile handicrafts cannot withstand the dumping of British and French industrial products, especially textiles and mechanical products, and are even more powerless.

Spain became the God of Wealth, and a large amount of gold and silver were transferred to the market and Britain and France made money away!

France is different from Britain. Britain is alone and focused on accumulating his naval assets, while France seeks to dominate the European continent.

The money earned began to build the army and expand everywhere. Spain and the Netherlands were once French territory. It would be impossible to say that there was no economic plunder after military occupation.

The Industrial Revolution and military expansion helped France grab a huge amount of real money, and France's other economic pillar was even more terrifying.

Culture! Another ability to make money in France is the output of culture!

Since the Bourbon dynasty, French culture has always been the center of Europe. Literature, poetry, painting, sculpture, clothing... all kinds of art fields are at the forefront of Europe!

The most important sign of a cultural development is the prosperity of the luxury goods industry!

In that era, Europeans were proud to speak French, and even within the aristocratic circle of the Tsarist Russian Empire, they no longer spoke Russian but collectively spoke French.

In Europe, aristocrats who cannot speak French are ridiculous. If a woman does not understand French, she will not even marry a good family!

Culture is intangible, but it is also tangible!

Once a consensus is reached on the commanding heights of French culture, they become the standard makers!

The right to formulate standards in the clothing industry, wine, food, painting, sculpture, literature... was in the hands of the French, and money naturally came.

Just clothing, wine, French food... How much does French people make in Europe every year? There are countless!

Listening to Xiao Letian's analysis, Bei Simai suddenly realized that he did not expect that there would be such a big negligence in his plan.

"Oh God! I just calculate the total wealth of the French treasury and the banking system, and completely ignore the huge wealth contained in the people..."

"That's damn!"

Xiao Letian looked at the annoyed Besmai and sneered, "Not only that! The French people can hide so much wealth, many of which are the credits of Germany!"
Chapter completed!
