Ultimate Weapon of Magic and Science
Chapter 239: Twenty-one. The Birth of the Giant Beast(8)
"The content of the conversation is confidential...Forget it, it is basically to discuss how to guard against us, and let me know about the dismissal of Metternich by the way?"
The wording is slightly frivolous, but Li Lin's tone is not disrespectful.
As enemies, they fulfilled their obligations with human flesh and blood, and Li Lin maintained the most basic respect for such Richelieu and Metternich.
"Master Bishop might hate us for getting into the bones, because what we did forced him to hurriedly launch the long-planned [Continental System] plan, attracting a sad premature death. Up to now, his best friend is also running out of light and returning The goddess was serving her old man's side."
An elegant and calm comment whispered to the ear. The elder girl who knew the truth and was gentle and pleasant collected her elusive thoughts.
"Even if we don't do anything, their flawed strategy will be doomed to fail shamefully."
A few months ago, after sorting out the various clues sent by Stacey’s inside line inserted in the Metternich mansion, Stasi roughly inferred the outline of the [Continental System] plan, and then handed it to the General Staff After reading the draft plan, the feelings of the elf staff are-is this going to be crazy?
The first glance at Richelieu's [continental system] plan will be considered surprisingly similar to Li Lin’s grand diplomatic phalanx for Yalfheim. But the staff who have learned how to use strategic vision and independent thinking to examine and judge a plan soon found many problems with this [Mainland Diplomacy] plan. Obviously, Richelieu and Mette were too enthusiastic in making the plan. Ignore some crucial elements-Charlieman's national strength and international political power.
A huge plan involving military, political, diplomatic, and many other issues at the national level must have sufficient money in order to ensure its smooth implementation and development.
Armament expansion, road repairs, sowing of grain reserves, diplomatic visits, money communication, and foreign aid...
After counting the total expenditure required for these matters, an astronomical figure is reported. That number alone can scare those accountants who deal with numbers and abacus all day long in the accounting department. After hearing the huge amount of bills that the military and other departments open their mouths like urging ghosts all day long, I am afraid that myocardial infarction will also erupt collectively.
It was an expense enough to bankrupt a big country like Charlemagne.
"From the very beginning. Cardinal Richelieu should have noticed that the stalls in their plan were too much and too large. Each project required a lot of money for a long time to see some improvement. Because they couldn't get so much money, they have been slow to launch the [Mainland System] plan. How many of these are waiting for the fiscal revenue and expenditure situation to improve to meet the needs of expenditure!"
Wait until the strength comparison and wealth index of countries have fundamentally changed in favor of Charlemagne? The imagination is still full, but the reality is still skinny.
Charlemagne's tax situation has indeed improved in recent years. But it is far from good enough to support Richelieu's plan.
We want to accelerate Charlemagne's wealth accumulation and economic growth. It is impossible to achieve without reforming the current economic structure and bureaucracy and making major adjustments to the way resources are allocated.
And expect a cardinal who acts on the king's breath to stand on the opposite side of the upper vested interest group? Even the opposite of the king? This expectation is a bit difficult.
Any reform-even a very small one, Richelieu will touch the cake of interest groups. This will inevitably create a large number of enemies. Conservative nobles and churches will continue to obstruct or instigate others to obstruct the various reforms of the prime minister, and in the end will even escalate to confrontation by force.
When things get to this point, what will happen to His Majesty Charles IV, who is so simple and concise that he rarely shows up in front of the people?
From Brunshill's point of view, most of the great King Charlemagne would treat loyal prime ministers and pro-reform officials as scapegoats to the nobles and the church to dispose of the anger. Continue to stabilize the somewhat shaky throne.
From beginning to end, the king was sitting on the throne and overlooking the overall situation. He never intended to serve as a reform or conservative vanguard. Occasionally, he threw some bait like a lady. The ugliness I took. All he cares about is whether his throne is stable and whether the territory under his rule can be more. As for the lives of ordinary people-[with bread and water, my people should be satisfied. 】
[There is no way out for reformists]-Li Lin's comments on this are still in the ears, and the achievements of introducing the poor and the white elves into the well-off society with iron fists are also in sight. In contrast to Richelieu’s internal policy of seam repair, the contrast is particularly spicy.
"Master Bishop has done very well within his framework. The conditions are different. It is impossible to adopt the same approach."
Li Lin implicitly defended the bishop. He also knew that even if he knew about Li Lin and Yalfheim, the bishop could not adopt this system.
Richelieu is only a prime minister, for men who want to achieve greater success in their current position. He was not a tyrant like Bohemian mustache sergeant and Soviet Union Uncle Steel, nor did he have the pragmatic political wisdom and the courage of [crossing the river by touching the stone] of Taizong [white cat and black cat] of a certain dynasty.
Richie has the determination and confidence to reform. But what he did was the same as Li Zhongtang, a braided dynasty known as [Oriental Bismarck], patching up and decorating this rotten potato-like country. After doing so much, he also blamed the Wang family. But it’s surprisingly similar to staying away...
"What we do also violates the interests of some nobles, but there is no direct conflict at the political level between us and the nobility~www.wuxiaspot.com~ plus there is enough money to help persuade those masters to assist us, things It will be so smooth, and everyone is very reasonable."
Li Lin's mouth was hooked, and it was a very innocent expression. But after being stained with dirty politics, it cast a malicious color.
This maliciousness is necessary. In order to reduce unnecessary conflicts and disputes as much as possible, it is a necessary matter to use money and interests to draw available people to yourself like tools. Brunch Hill is so convinced that he is convinced No doubt.
As a soldier, she actually hopes to solve problems through battlefield and artillery smoke.
ps: Guess the small theater
Li Lin: Yesterday’s winners were [rpg-16] and [breaking dawn pioneer] two! Congratulations!
Niederhogger: Today’s question is 1. What is Emperor Taizong of [White Cat Black Cat]? (Hint: In 1979, it was a spring.) 2. Who is Li Zhongtang in a braid? (Hint: Why didn't the bullet before the signing of the Maguan Treaty kill him?) Everyone, please act quickly!
