Chapter 477 The Gap between China and the West
Chapter 477 The Gap between China and the West
It seems that there are not many responses now, only more than a hundred people, but it is also because the time is too short.
"You can add some more. For example, if someone is recommended and passes the physical examination, they can get one dollar. If they pass the recruit training, they can get two dollars. On the day they officially join the army, they can get another two dollars."
Li Shaoyi has seen a lot of the policy of old employees mentoring new ones at Foxconn. After returning to this era, in order to motivate the soldiers, it can be introduced immediately to avoid vacancies in our establishment.
"Marshal, if that's the case, then our burden will be heavy."
Xu Chenglong frowned and said that it would not be just one or two soldiers who needed to be recruited. If tens of thousands of people were to come, it would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars for nothing.
"Don't worry about the money. The foreigners gave us quite a bit this time. See those guys over there? They're all Junkers reporters."
Li Shaoyi pointed to several foreign reporters in the distance and said that these people had followed Li Shaoyi to the north just for these photos. Of course, these photos were also very expensive.
"They are in our army, maybe they have some secrets..."
Xu Chenglong said with some worry, but he was soon relieved. What kind of person is our Marshal? How could he suffer a loss?
"When you're strong enough, you won't be afraid of others snooping around, right? Besides, our secrets aren't here. They can look at them as they please. Only after they see everything here can we get more help."
Li Shaoyi's words made everyone feel proud. Western countries did not want Luosha to have a good life. If someone were to arm wrestle with Luosha, these people would definitely cheer them on from behind.
Especially the Junkers, they have always regarded the Rakshasa as their imaginary enemy. Although they have not shown any intention of aggression yet, the Junkers have always been at the forefront of supporting Li Shaoyi, trying to use Li Shaoyi's power to contain the Far East Military Region.
Originally, this matter was to be cooperated with Japan, but after several attempts, it was discovered that Japan's combat effectiveness was not very good and was defeated by Li Shaoyi. Li Shaoyi had won all the previous battles with Luosha, so the top leaders of Junkers were a little shaken. What's more, the support given to Li Shaoyi was nothing for an industrialized country.
Many people are not very clear about the gap between Longguo and the world in this era. Li Shaoyi is a person from modern society, and of course he understands how poor we are now.
The Boxer Indemnity was 450 million taels of silver, which made our entire country feel a little breathless.
The indemnity for the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 was approximately equivalent to 700 million taels of silver.
The indemnity of the Treaty of Versailles was even more, equivalent to about 96,000 tons of gold, of course, which was divided into 30 years. Even so, the total amount was dozens of times the Boxer Indemnity.
So in this day and age, the wealth of foreign countries is definitely beyond our imagination. They are real industrial countries, and compared with them, we may not be able to see their full picture even if we stand on the top of the mountain.
"Li, this is too unbelievable. Before I saw all this, I just listened to you talk about it. You saw the expression on my face at the time. I didn't want to believe it at all. Now after seeing this scene, I should know who our friends in the East are."
Mr. Ludwig, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Junkers, said very happily that this guy had completely concealed his identity when he came to China this time because he was afraid of causing dissatisfaction on the Japanese side and also to conduct a comprehensive investigation of Li Shaoyi's army.
Just now, he saw tens of thousands of Rakshasa army prisoners, who were obediently forced to build an airport for the 72nd Division under the threat of whips. This was simply unbelievable.
He also brought a camera with him and just used up all the film. He couldn't stop taking pictures because there were too many things to record. If he had known earlier, he would have loaded more film.
"I've told you before that we Dragons believe in words, not proof. You have to trust your own eyes. When we were in Pujiang, many people accused me of fabricating things. How could I possibly find tens of thousands of Luosha soldiers? Could I have them act out a scene with me?"
When Li Shaoyi said this, Mr. Ludwig's face turned red, because he had said similar words before. He did not believe that the Russians would be defeated to this extent. Perhaps in the war with Li Shaoyi, the Russians would suffer some losses, but he did not expect that even the commander-in-chief would be captured.
This guy just saw Boris with his own eyes, and Boris's photo also appeared in the newspaper. The Junkers' intelligence department has also confirmed that this person is the commander-in-chief of the newly established Hun Front Army.
This person also made a series of radical speeches in newspapers, and even wanted to lead the Rakshasa army across the Xiongnu steppe and directly reach the Guanzhong area of Longguo. Now there is no need to think so much, just build the airport here honestly.
"I must apologize for my ignorance. Fortunately, it hasn't caused any serious consequences yet. I will immediately send a telegram back home to tell them everything that has happened here. Our second batch of support for you will be on its way soon."
Mr. Ludwig said with great pleasure that the second batch of resources was divided into money and in-kind.
In terms of money, it is equivalent to approximately 9.4 million oceans.
In terms of food, Li Shaoyi did not ask for industrial products, but for a small arsenal.
Including one rifle production line and two bullet production lines.
Li Shaoyi's weapons and equipment were exchanged from the system, so naturally he did not need these production lines. However, to develop industry, we must start with the military industry. This is equivalent to training our workers, and they will always be useful in the future.
In addition, there is a medium-sized Siemens power plant, an automobile repair center, a tire factory and five or six other factories related to the battlefield, all of which are fully funded by Junkers. Li Shaoyi does not need to worry about anything from funds to personnel.
And these aids are also unknown to other Western countries. Others don’t know what these Junkers are thinking, but Li Shaoyi is certainly very clear about it. On the surface, it is aid to the 72nd Division now, but after the Soviet-German War breaks out, it will be aid to you yourselves.
Although Xu Chenglong didn't know what the Junkers had given him, judging by the Marshal's expression, it should be more than what we'd gained from this war. He had originally thought fighting on the grasslands was a loss-making endeavor, but now it looked like someone was paying for it, and maybe even making some money...
