I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 831 Dream
When the Maginot Line plan was first introduced, it was said that only three people in France knew of its existence.

The three people are the French President, Prime Minister, and Commander-in-Chief of the French Army.

But the fact that France has changed three prime ministers this year is not only known to everyone, but the news has also spread on a large scale.

Some so-called "secrets" cannot be kept. It is a huge project worth billions of francs, involving hundreds of thousands of people and countless supporting companies. The project is located on the German-French border, so there is no secret about the Maginot Line.

The Maginot Line is essentially similar to Russia's Rivne exercise, both of which are a show of muscle and a display of military power.

France's weak nature was fully exposed through the Maginot Line.

If France was really confident, it would not have spent so much effort to build a defense line with obvious loopholes. Instead, it should have put more energy into offense like Russia.

No matter how strong the defense line is, it can only be used for defense and is of no help in offense.

Russia is not only forming armored forces, but is also spending a lot of effort to upgrade its air force equipment, and its naval ships are also being continuously updated.

Unlike the British who are spending all their money to build battleships, the Russian Navy has focused its main efforts on transportation and logistics support in recent years, with a clear positioning.

Russia's main force is definitely the army, and this will never change at any time.

In Russia, the importance of the Air Force has surpassed that of the Navy and has become the second largest branch of the military. Under the leadership of a certain person, Russia is once again at the forefront of the world.

Guderian and Rommel were deeply influenced by Russia and were equally aware of 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 field of civil aviation was not restricted. Various official and private aviation clubs sprang up all over Germany. The number of registered pilots in Germany had surpassed that of Britain and France as early as 1925.

Germany now has roughly as many registered pilots as Britain and France combined.

Young Karl approached Guchkov, hoping that Russia could support Germany in expanding its police force in the League of Nations.

Just after the end of World War II, the number of German police was only 8, which increased to 1923 in 15.

Against the backdrop of the economic crisis, Germany also began to become turbulent. In order to maintain stability in Germany, Germany demanded that the size of the police force be expanded to 40.

In order to enhance the combat effectiveness and deterrence of the German police, Karl also hopes that Russia will support the German police in equipping them with armored vehicles.

Considering that the armored vehicles that the German police needed to be equipped with 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.

The mustache was more radical than George had imagined. Soon after taking office, he demanded reforms to the financial industry and nationalization of banks.

This request was strongly opposed by the Hebrew consortium.

Old Carl started to play the peacemaker again, hoping that both sides would make concessions, the bank would still be managed by the consortium, and the government could strengthen its supervision of the bank.

"Junker is not good. If he is so timid, how can he realize the revival of Germany——"

Felix admired the mustache and didn't think much of old Karl.

"They are making a joint plan."

George hit the nail on the head in one sentence: the Hebrew consortium was the pigs raised by the Junkers, and the man with the mustache was the operator.

The Hebrew Consortium has a wide-ranging influence. In addition to Russia, it has a great influence in Britain, France, the United States and Germany. If the little mustache guy acts too hastily, Germany will have no choice but to turn to Russia completely and will have no second choice.

Even though Germany has completely cut off trade with the United States, it can restore trade at any time if there is a need, and American capital will definitely not hold grudges.

There is actually something fishy about this severance of trade.

After the end of World War II, the United States' direct investment in Germany exceeded 150 billion US dollars, which is basically equal to the total of Britain, France and Russia. How can it be cut off at will?

The man with the mustache is now like France, he would rather die than let his friends die, he is not throwing everything into the air.

"We will round up the Hebrews too, fatten them up and kill them!"

Felix is ​​full of murderous intent, and we can't let the Germans get away with it.

"No need. If we do our own thing well, we will be invincible."

George wanted nothing to do with the Hebrews.

Everything has a cause and an effect. Thoughts deserve suffering. Russia has paid a heavy price for the current situation. George doesn't want to be involved in cause and effect.

No matter how the Junkers and the Hebrews fight, it has nothing to do with Russia. Russia is now working hard to become the world's factory and not giving the Anglo-Saxons and the Hebrews the opportunity to poison the world.

Britain has been leading the world for 200 years, and the only thing it has done is to maintain its hegemony. Its contribution to the world is unremarkable, but the evil it has done is too numerous to list.

George hopes to lead the world with technology and reshape a new world order.

Although the slogan of the world order led by Britain and France is "civilization", the underlying color 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 is no longer technologically advanced one day, it can still survive by selling resources, which is fundamentally different from Britain and France.

If Britain and France lost their military hegemony and could not plunder other countries, they would be no different from Spain.

Although Russia has not established more welfare systems in the past two years, the living standards of Russians are constantly improving, and even the Baltic coast, which was once the most anti-Russian, is no longer in turmoil.

The hardest-hit areas in the Imperial Russian era were the Baltic coast and Warsaw. After ten years of great migration, the main residents of the Baltic coast and Warsaw have been replaced by Slavs. The locals either left Russia or scattered around. They no longer have the desire to struggle and are working hard to build a better life.

In fact, we can't blame them for rebelling. During the Russian Empire era, taxes in the Baltic coast and Warsaw were the heaviest. As the saying goes, the people rebelled when the officials forced them to do so. The local public security was unstable, and the government should bear a great responsibility.

After immigrating to Siberia, they were given houses, land and loans. At first, there was a ten-year tax exemption, which was extended for another five years after it expired last year. As long as they were willing to work hard, they could live and work in peace and contentment. Even if someone wanted to rebel, no one would respond and it would not cause much trouble.

Compared with immigrants in Russia, new immigrants from abroad settle down quickly and are more fortunate.

The Russians first experienced a world war and then a civil war, with almost every family in mourning before they had the life they have today.

No matter how much suffering the new immigrants have endured before coming to Russia, it has nothing to do with Russia. It is equivalent to just sitting back and reaping the benefits at almost no cost.

Lewis, who worked at a Birmingham small arms company for 30 years, now works for a machining company producing parts for cars.

Russia has a minimum wage guarantee system. Although Lewis' income is similar to that at the Birmingham Arms Company, because prices in Russia are cheaper, Lewis' income alone is enough to cover the expenses of his entire family.

Although Russia's system is good, factory owners are not human beings. They actually adopt a piece-rate system and squeeze productivity.

When Lewis was at the Birmingham Small Arms Company, although he worked more than 10 hours a day, the work intensity was not high and there were many ways to be lazy.

The working hours in Russia are only 8 hours. You can be lazy if you want to. As long as the pass rate is up to standard, the person in charge will not care at all. However, your income will be higher than that of your colleagues.

In the first month after Lewis arrived, he only received a salary of 60 rubles and felt good about himself.

Looking at my colleagues, almost all of them had more than 100 rubles, and the most was three times as much as Lewis's. I instantly felt unbalanced.

The Grand Duke is a good Grand Duke.

The policy is also good policy.

Damn black-hearted boss: Roll it up! Roll them all up!
60 rubles is actually not a small amount. Even if you don’t become rich, it can still cover your basic expenses.

But his wife wants to move to a bigger house, his granddaughter wants to buy pretty flowery clothes, his youngest son wants a cool motorcycle, and Lewis himself wants to go to the pub for a drink with his colleagues after get off work. Money is required everywhere.

Lewis had no choice but to work as hard as his colleagues, so starting from the second month, Lewis also received 150 rubles.

1800 rubles per year is considered a high income in Russia and can buy a small house of 10 square meters in the suburbs of Constantinople.

If you want to go to the prosperous area in the city center, that's fine too. As long as you can afford it, the Yuriev Palace can be sold to you.

Except for the hard work, everything else is excellent and impeccable.

Compared with the UK, prices in Russia are very low, especially in terms of food. Not only are prices low, but the variety of food is also richer. Even in winter, you can eat tropical fruits, which is a treat only the powerful and wealthy can enjoy in the UK.

Lewis is a new immigrant and has not yet passed the probation period. After the probation period is over, Lewis plans to retire and stay at home with his wife to take care of his grandchildren, and the task of earning a house will be left to his two sons.

In fact, Lewis still has some savings, and if he is willing to take out a loan, he can buy a small house now.

Lewis is more conservative. He doesn't want to take out a loan, but he also wants to buy a big house in one go, so he has to wait.

"Let's buy it. Let's buy a small house first. We can live with the children. We can't have the whole family squeezed in together."

Mrs Lewis hopes to settle down as soon as possible, as house prices are rising every month.

The good news is that the fastest rising prices are in luxury homes in the city center, while the increase in houses in the suburbs is not much, at least within an acceptable range.

"Dad, I passed the engineer exam and will get my engineer certificate next month!"

Lewis's youngest son was filled with joy as he could finally replace his eight-handed bicycle with a brand new motorcycle.

"Even if you become an engineer, you don't need to buy a motorcycle. Isn't it better to save money and buy a car?"

Lewis was demanding of his children.

"What are you changing for? Buying a house is the real 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 youngest son is ambitious, and a car and a house are not just dreams.
