Every family has a difficult sutra to recite, but the ancients really did not deceive me!

The Davin Porter government in the United States was helpless, and the Fusang country, which was far inferior to the United States, had reached a point where it could not be exaggerated. Not only did it stop expanding into the Manchuria-Mongolia region, but its power also contracted significantly.

I have invested too many chips in North America and have reached the point where I cannot afford to lose.

How short of money is the country of Fusang?

The latest reinforcements of more than 90,000 troops in North America were all well-trained officers and soldiers, but each of them only had one military uniform and did not carry any weapons and equipment when they went to North America. Many people's backpacks were filled with quilts in their homes before joining the army, and they didn't even have a blanket.

The rifle used during training is a wooden gun, and the rifle trained in live ammunition is used in rotation. There are only two meals for training with large amounts of exercise every day. It is a salted fish rice ball at noon and a salted rice ball at night.

When these Japanese soldiers boarded the ship, everyone was doing something, but they were extremely excited, holding their hands high and shouting "onboard" and "onboard".

If there is no material foundation, then there is only spiritual supplement.

The North American Command has captured so many American soldiers, and there is no shortage of guns, cannons and weapons. It can be armed when it reaches the New Mexico occupied by the Japanese army, but there is nothing else in it.

The war has been fought until now, and both the United States and Japan have suffered considerable losses.

The seized ammunition was exhausted and the materials were used up. Fuso was basically unable to supply them. More than 90% of them were supported by the huge amount of money and loans from the Ocean Empire, and a large amount of supplies were continuously sent.

Everything is needed, from food, clothing, housing and transportation to bullets.

Nowadays, Fusang's national strength is unable to support the 500,000 troops to fight across the ocean in North America. If the latter one is removed, it will be competent.

The result of the battle has been that the Fusang people have taken on a huge loan of up to 750 million Jinyang, which is about 2.25 billion US dollars, which is about 1/4 of the US military's military expenditure.

From this perspective

The Ocean Empire spent more than 20 million to buy Las Vegas. First, it was because the sovereignty was not disputed, and second, the price was appropriate, which was much cheaper than plundering through war means.

The Fusang Kingdom spent 750 million yuan to regain New Mexico, which laid deep hidden dangers on the relationship between the United States and Japan. How much money will it cost in the future to protect this territory? How many soldiers' lives will be sacrificed?

The United States is not easy either. A good industrial country has been dragged into years of war, losing historic valuable opportunities and has also been in trouble.

The compensation for "Wool War" has been paid for 7 years. The total repayment amount is about US$2.9 billion, mainly customs taxes, and the total war reparations of US$9.6 billion have increased instead of falling. Now the cumulative debt has increased to US$13.2 billion (only the Ocean Empire), and is still increasing rapidly.

If the war funds raised by the United States themselves are added, the total expenditure is close to US$9 billion, far higher than that of Japan.

The problem is that Fusang can't bear to eat.

Tokyo Metropolitan City

In a deep and beautiful courtyard

"I still come to visit you at this time, which has caused you trouble. Everything is for the future of the Great Fuso Empire. Please understand more." Shigeon Okuma bowed apologetically.

Shanxian Youpeng looked at him with a long look, and he was really bored.

Shigenobu Okuma is an old man in the political arena in Fuso. This time, this is the second time he has been serving as prime minister. He has been serving as prime minister for more than two years.

This is because the Katsutaro cabinet cannot solve the financial problems well, which leads to domestic public grievances and prominent contradictions. Due to political compromise, the Fuso political arena ended the pattern of Katsutaro and Nishizoji Kou-kun taking turns to take charge. The game between several political forces, resulting in this Okuma Shigetsu cabinet.

"You are from a political friend and talk big during policy debates, which sounds very good. I am an old man, Dashan Iwako, a confidant in the military, also sacrificed his life for his country. After living in the mountains for many years, I am afraid that I will not be able to help the Prime Minister?"

"Mr. Shanxian is really too humble. Speaking of which, I am also one of your believers. Unfortunately, I did not join the army, which made me regret it for my whole life. I was born in a military family of Feiqian vassals, and also referred to "prominence for thousands of miles away" as my lifelong aspiration, respecting His Majesty Li Fushou, the Emperor of the Ocean Empire, and regard him as his life mentor!"

Prime Minister Shigeon Okuma has a very low attitude. When it comes to the topic of "the beacon of life", everyone knows that Yama Prefecture's Atsutoshi highly praised the dictatorial emperor of the Ocean Empire, regarded it as an idol of life, and conducted in-depth research on the history of the Ocean Empire's success.

Finally, we came to the conclusion: this is a rare hero in a thousand years!

"Yoxi, it is easy to know and difficult to do. Only by repeating the path of a great man knows that every step taken is extremely difficult, just like the temporary difficulties encountered by Prime Minister Okuma, as long as you step over, there will be another village."

Yama Prefecture has some meaning, but such light words cannot solve the problems faced by Prime Minister Shigetsu Okuma. He forced a smile and said;

"The empire's finances are no longer sustainable. The salaries of relevant government personnel are owed 11 months. The government departments' cars have no money to add gasoline. The joint fleet has not purchased a ship for more than two years. The overall combat strength has been reduced compared with the Russo-Japanese War 10 years ago, and it has fallen far behind demand. If this continues, there may be a terrible result without defense. Lord Shanxian, the Great Fusang Empire is no longer able to sustain the current war and must seek a decent way to end it."

"Oh, it's such a regret! You can win a war with no effort. If you have to give up, I'm afraid I can't help you?"

"Please ask the Shan County Lord to understand the difficulties of the government. Currently, North American military use has accounted for 74.2% of government expenditures, and this part of the expenditure is just a drop in the bucket. It also needs to rely on the huge loans from the Ocean Empire. It has accumulated to the point where we cannot afford interest. If this continues, the empire will be in danger!"

"Since I can't afford it, then try my best to win the war and let the Americans return it. Is there a second way out?" Yama Prefecture Aritoto suddenly stood up forever, looked at Prime Minister Shigeon Okuma in front of him coldly, and left a sentence; "It's a shame to ask for people everywhere. If you don't have the ability, just turn to someone else to be the prime minister."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

The Prime Minister Shigeshino Okuma sat there blankly, his face turned from white to green, and soon turned red like a pig's liver. He was deeply stimulated by the contempt and arrogance of the Yama Prefecture elders, and said with gritted teeth, "Baga, why don't you, an old guy who only knows to make people's hearts die? Staying behind the scenes to control the military headquarters and affect the overall situation of the government is really hateful!"

Even if he complained, Shigeon Okuma was helpless against the veteran politics of Fuso Country. He was even more afraid of the huge forces of the military and could only speak out.

The huge force woven by the elders of Youpeng in Shan County is like an insurmountable mountain, even the Prime Minister is powerless.

After the Sino-Japanese War

Fusang has developed in an all-round way towards an industrialized country, and has made great progress in the economy and society. Industry has developed rapidly, but it is limited to the scope of light industry. Heavy industries have developed slowly due to the disadvantages of resources.

Taking the most important steel industry as an example, the steel production of Fuso Country in the last year was only 370,000 tons, which was 6.6% of that of the Ocean Empire, and the gap was not an ordinary big one.

Only such a small amount of steel production is still produced by iron ore in North Korea. Due to the poor grade of iron ore, there are many production processes and high cost and poor quality.

The grade of high-quality iron ore in Australia is generally between 58 and 60, and the high energy reaches 64. After crushing, you can directly make steel and iron. The refined steel is of good quality and low price.

The grade of North Korea's iron ore is generally around 30%, the lowest is only 25 and six, and the higher is no more than 31. It also contains impurities and high sulfur content, and other associated ores. Not only does it need to be screened, but it also needs to be added to the desulfurization process, which causes the smelting process to consume time and be inefficient and efficient.

This thing is easy to understand. It's like a bowl of white flour that not only contains rice bran sand, but also soaks in ink. How troublesome is it to be to clean it up?

Today, Fusang is also a preliminary industrialized society. The silk reeling industry has the largest export volume. Thousands of silk reeling factories are the pillars of light industry and the largest export product.

Wire reeling factories are one of the light industry enterprises with the harshest working environment. Silkworm cocoons must be soaked in hot water to draw silk, which often emit an unbearable smell and steam.

The female workers in Fusang must pick up the cocoons in hot water and hang the silk reeling machine one by one. In this harsh working environment, they work for fourteen or five hours a day, and many young female workers are exhausted and can be said to be the representative of sweatshops.

If you don’t have resources, don’t you have to fight for others?

Prime Minister Shigeon Okuma left without gaining anything and could not obtain the understanding of the Yama Prefecture veterans. The government could not change its course and could only go all the way on the road to North America's expansion.

Perhaps as the elders of Shanxian said, since they can't afford to pay back, don't think about paying off the debt. Just give your national strength to win this war, and the debt can be thrown to the Americans.

"Sir, Prime Minister Okuma has said goodbye and left. Before leaving, he expressed his deep apology and said that he has caused you trouble."

"I understand, go down."

"Abide by the order!"

The people around him left, and Yama Prefecture Aritoto once again looked at Masahito, who was sitting opposite him in a dangerous position. Masahito was a politician from the Army Department and one of the loyal believers of the expansion policy.

He is also the sharp knife for Aotomo Yama County to resolve many contradictions in the current Fusang political arena. According to the plan, the veterans of Yama County are preparing to support Masatoi Shinui as the new Fusang Prime Minister and carry out North America's expansion to the end.

So much debt will definitely not be paid back, so just keep going and keep going until you win.

This is the countermeasure of Youpeng in Shanxian County and the only effective method.

It’s not the first time I’m gambled for national luck.

"Mr. The great cause of the empire is all about in the future, please!"

"Please rest assured that if the temple can preside over the cabinet, it will unswervingly implement the North American expansion plan until the day of victory."
