"Where is China's economic core? Of course, it is in the coastal areas, the Yangtze River and the Pearl River Basin. As long as Xiao Letian's tactics are perfectly and skilled, then the entire China's most prosperous economic belt will be under the threat of his artillery..."

Beismai rubbed his temples, "No, no, no, maybe the word threat is inappropriate, it can also be said to be protected! Xiao Letian provides protection for more than 70% of China's wealth, so how much protection fee can he get?"

The old-fashioned old Moltke frowned, "Why do you have to use vulgar words like protection fees to describe taxes? That's taxes, is taxes good?"

Bismai shrugged and made a gesture as you wish. "Okay, there is no protection in the world. These economic belts will definitely provide taxes to Xiao Letian explicitly or invisibly. This may be his main source of wealth in the future. A main channel for obtaining private wealth without overthrowing the Qing government..."

Carl said worriedly, "Can't you see that the Qing Dynasty? Will they allow Xiao Letian to execute their power unscrupulously? You must know that this is competing with the empire's finances? It's too dangerous..."

"Not that serious..." The Prime Minister shook his head. "Your Highness, you should have a sense from now on! The country has never been a single person and a few people, both in the East and the West!"

"The Qing Empire is now becoming increasingly declining, and the continuous wars overwhelmed them. Britain and France attacked from the sea, Russia encircled from the northern continent, and there were still continuous civil wars within them. The final result was the extraordinary strength of the local warlords..."

"The emperor is not omnipotent. Such a large imperial emperor must rely on a huge bureaucracy to rule. Execution is the only indicator to test the foundation of the empire's rule!"

"Will the order issued from the Forbidden City be implemented by the government at the end of the entire empire? Will there be any situation of shirking responsibility and verbal discourse? Will even those local officials with heavy troops directly refuse to implement it? As the future master of Germany, you must carefully study this issue..."

Carl's waist immediately became corrected. This was a rare experience in governing the country by the Prime Minister. "Yes, you are right, execution is very important!"

Bismey opened the window and let the cool night wind in Berlin in late night, sweeping the smoke in the room. "It is difficult for the Qing Dynasty to rise again. It is a high probability that the Great Revolution will happen sooner or later... Although I have no intelligence to support my point of view, I can guess that the Qing Dynasty's tax system has already had serious problems!"

"In a huge empire, the customs are actually controlled by the British Hurd, and the local governor has the power to conduct military procurement. Coupled with the constant war, especially the rebellion in Xinjiang... I think Beijing can no longer collect much taxes, right? Local arrears must be very serious. Those local officials intercept taxes in various terms..."

"I'm afraid the financial officers in the Forbidden City can only manage a large amount of book wealth!"

Old Maoqi said worriedly, "Yes, if this happens in one or two regions, then the Qing Empire can completely kill one to warn a hundred, and use punishment to make those officials understand what the rules are! But now the situation of the law not ruling the masses is present. The emperor cannot kill all the bureaucratic groups, right?"

"What's even more terrifying is that the military power that the emperor can control is no longer the most powerful of that country, so the Qing Dynasty has no courage to turn against local warlords at all. The situation of local growth will become more and more serious..."

"The merchants and the people will only express their respect for the military group closest to them. As long as Xiao Letian wins a few beautiful battles along the coast, he will show the powerful firepower of cannons to the wealthy businessmen in the entire coastal area, including the Yangtze River Basin... I think those people should not mind paying another tax!"

So far, the three Prussians have retreated from Xiao Letian's future military strategy through a bloody battle in Dakar, and even made certain judgments on Xiao Letian's future strategic layout.

The three smart heads collided together to make a spark of wisdom, not to mention that these three people are not only smart but also have a lot of experience in governing the country and military. It is not surprising that Xiao Letian's strategy can be inferred.

But Carl still had a deep doubt in his heart, "What did Xiao Letian think? If he continues to follow his strategy, even if he can control the entire coastal areas of China and the Yangtze River Basin, it will be only two or three tenths of the huge Qing Empire territory!"

"Did he really have no intention of replacing it? Don't Chinese people like to say, 'The emperor takes turns to come to my house next year' Don't they all have an emperor dream?"

Beismai took a volume of East Asia from the top of the bookcase and gently spread it out. "Your problem is very critical. If Xiao Letian really implements such a strategy, then we can only be sure that Xiao Letian really has no intention of becoming an emperor..."

"Without a powerful army, that is, he cannot form a heavy strategic depth. Relying on the Yangtze River, the Pearl River has a long coastline, Xiao Letian can only occupy a strip-like area. This is a taboo in military tactics. The enemy can attack from countless directions, and then his navy will be exhausted..."

"This is a very difficult knot to untie unless..." Bisme finally expressed the idea he had guessed for a long time.

"Unless Xiao Letian gives up the defense of the belt area and concentrates his strength, just like the special zone he built first, let the elite force be concentrated at dozens of points..."

"Let's take a look, Tanggu, Liaodong Peninsula, Shandong Peninsula, Yangtze River Estuary... This is Wuhan, Nanjing and even Fujian, Taiwan, Guangzhou..."

"If Xiao Letian can build more than a dozen countries in these areas! Retract his strength and build a militarized base to provide protection for the business circle..."

Beismai suddenly became excited, "Yes, this is what Xiao Letian wants. He does not pursue a false reputation. What he wants is real things! Don't forget that compared to Xiao Letian's army's attack, they are better at defense!"

"The bloody battle between the stone bridge, the battle of Liufa and several military operations of the Qing Empire against Tanggu. Xiao Letian's army defeated the more with fewer, and their defense lines were never broken..."

Old Moltke's eyes also lit up, "That's right! And in the future, Xiao Letian will have one or two powerful ironclad fleets that can quickly move between the special zones! The powerful artillery and elite Marines are enough to provide protection!"

Carl suddenly drank a glass of Chinese and American wine, "God! Just one Tanggu Special Zone has controlled the commercial operation of the entire North China Plain. If there are more than ten such special zones, then Xiao Letian will become the most powerful person in China!"

"If you don't seek fame and fortune, just be real! If the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty was a dragon, then what Xiao Letian wanted to do was the hidden dragon hidden behind the dark clouds and lightning!"

The three of them were silent immediately. The window that had just opened suddenly had a loud bang, and the wet and rustic wind blew in. Berlin ushered in a storm. Mobile phone users should visit http://m.piaotian.net
