Chapter 657: 16. In the name of God (2)

Rent weapons?
Osiris felt a bit uncomfortable with this statement. Indeed, people can rent carriages, sailboats, clothing, houses, and other needs, but they can’t afford it or are reluctant to buy it, but some people provide something for rent. But weapons and combatants... these do not seem to be rentable.
Li Lin's view is completely different. As long as someone is willing and the conditions are right, weapons, equipment and personnel can also be leased. What he has to do is to provide a commercial simplified version of the "Lease Act" for the Principality.
History has fully proved the success of this kind of lending. Thanks to the "Leasing Act", the Soviet Union can win the great Patriotic War.
Li Lin doesn't think there is anything wrong with this statement. Soviet admirers and defense nurses can come up with a thousand reasons or falsify the data to refute, but the data and facts are there. Leaving aside a large number of finished weapons, the data on Soviet industrial blood transfusions are enough for face-slapping.
In the most dangerous situation in October 1941, the Soviet Union's industry was not only backward, but also a large part was under German occupation, or on a train moving eastward. The workers in Moscow were busy with the riots, and the women shouted, "Leave the machine where it was, so that if Hitler comes, we can still work for him!" People who endured Comrade Iron and Steel for many years even yelled "hit To the Soviets! Long live the good old Hitler!" slogan.
It is conceivable how much capacity the Soviet industry can have under such chaos. At that time, the total industrial and agricultural production value of the Soviet Union was less than half that of June of that year, and the Soviet industry was extremely lacking in industrial materials. The same is true for food, especially for the replacement and repair of industrial machinery. This situation lasted from 1941 to 1942. It was not until mid-1943 that Soviet-owned factories were able to provide the Red Army with sufficient or nearly sufficient weapons and ammunition. However, if there are no trucks, high-grade aviation gasoline, train heads, rails, radio stations, mechanical parts, semi-manufactured products (such as steel, copper pipes, etc.), chemicals, precision machines, spare parts and accessories Tools, in some cases even the entire factory, the "blood-making" function of Soviet industry is probably much worse. Not to mention the crucial, canned lunch meat mentioned by Comrade Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev-after losing the big grain silos in Ukraine, there is no Spam lunch In the case of flesh, the hungry Red Army soldiers may have shot the commissar. Run to lead the way for the "Wang Shi" of the Third Reich. And there are probably more people starving to the rear than in the era of famine.
Of course, due to the low-energy command of the head of the mustache, the economic mobilization could not be implemented early, and the resources were insufficient. The third empire fighting on the third line will inevitably lose the war. It may even be because you lose fast enough. Replace the Japanese to enjoy the baptism of the earliest two actual combat nuclear strikes in history. However, the ending of the Sud battlefield may have evolved into a stalemate state similar to that of the late World War I. For steel comrades with the same name and hard character, that kind of ending is definitely not a "victory". Not to mention the myth that "the socialist economy has won victory in the Great Patriotic War" and "the Soviet Union can defeat Germany alone".
Therefore, the "Lease Act" is a must for steel comrades.
Now, the United Principality of Ross also needs the "Lease Act", and Li Lin is planning this, but not to let the Principality win, but to ensure that they turn this war into a meat grinder similar to Verdun and the Somme.
"I still don't understand, even so, the principality's finances..."
"The method of repayment is not limited to gold coins."
Li Lin shrugged and explained to Osiris:
"Resources, land lease rights, sovereignty, taxation-as long as we can grab the benefits, we can all accept it."
It was the same thing that the disability chief of the United States of America had done. Mr. Roosevelt exchanged 50 destroyers from the British for Newfoundland, Bermuda, Antigua, Saint Lucia, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago. , And 17 land lease rights in British Guiana for the construction of military bases, with a lease period of 99 years. And Li Lin wants to get more. After the war, if the principality cannot pay all the loans and rents, v.e will be able to get a lot of things that could not be obtained. For example, the concessions and military bases throughout the Principality, such as the economic lifeline and mineral resources of the Principality, such as a market that is unilaterally open to v.e companies, such as political consultants, economic consultants, military consultants, legal consultants dispatched by the company...
"Wait a minute, the Congress accepts this condition?"
Osiris's expression appeared on the face. It's no wonder that anyone who hears this condition will have a similar reaction, even if he is a dragon.
Although the nobles of the Principality have always been known for their incompetence, it is really true to ask them to promise such a complete condition of selling the country.
"They will definitely. You know, even if the war is over, there is a place where the principality needs to spend money, and we are the only ones who can provide loans. It is not unreasonable to use resources to repay loans."
A straightforward answer choked that Osiris could not recover for a while, but think about it, indeed, as Li Lin said, the Principality has no ability and no intention to refuse the only lender. The human camp will not lend money to the Principality. Even if Ceres wants to fish in troubled waters, his limited financial resources will not be able to meet the Principality’s huge funding gap. In addition, they are also doubtful about the Principality’s ability to repay. As for the dwarves... they made their position clear at the beginning of the war: in order to punish the Principality’s usual anti-dwarf actions, they would support the human camp.
There is no other choice, only v.e companies are willing and able to provide loans and the "Lease Act", the Principality can only promise those harsh conditions, even if v.e companies will take the opportunity to control their country.
Monopoly means unlimited profits. The elders of the Dragon clan now truly understand the profound philosophy behind this sentence,
"As a result, Parkinson's death is even more problematic."
Osiris said, frowning.
Li Lin painted a broad, beautiful and safe prospect for him. He knows how much benefit the dragon family can get from it-the dual benefits of politics and economy. It is wonderful to satisfy him. At the same time, he is also likely to encounter Feel anxious about the obstacles.
If the commander of the human coalition is a stupid, rigid officer like Parkinson, then they may indeed endlessly drop soldiers and money into the battlefield, and the battle situation will be staged according to Li Lin's script. But now Parkinson is dead, and he still has a headshot when he has not achieved any results and the troops have suffered heavy losses. In this case, humans will review Parkinson’s failures and send a new commander to command a powerful coalition. This new commander is probably not as stubborn as Parkinson, if he takes more clever and effective Strategy to go to the fortress, can the public stick to it? In case the Riga fortress is lost, the Principality of the new army recruiting and training that has not yet been completed is likely to fall into an avalanche-like total collapse. This plan will collapse, and all their investment will be floated.
"This will add variables to the plan."
"Your concerns are indeed possible, so I ordered my men to kill Parkinson."
"What does it mean?"
"It's simple."
Li Lin sipped the lipstick tea and put on a serious, no-sneering expression.
"With Parkinson’s ability, giving him more time and strength will make it difficult to break through the position of the public, and will only increase the number of Albion’s deaths. When Her Majesty the Queen could not bear it, and ordered the removal of the Major General, other generals would Will deeply review Parkinson’s poor command and try to avoid repeating the same mistakes as much as we don’t want to see. Therefore, we must let Major General Parkinson fall before he becomes a joke. Next, we will You can make full use of the resources in your hand and shape the Major General as an object imitated by every soldier-a military god."
"Can it work?"
Osiris' suspicion has not been completely dispelled, and he does not know much about speculation, which is a highly professional matter. But in his view, the amazing loss that Major Parkinson created is enough for anyone with a normal IQ to dispel the idea of ​​idol worship, even if he does not consider the Albian people’s own ideas, just other countries-especially Charlie Man's mocking can accomplish this.
"Of course it can be done. First of all, the generals of Albion, especially the adults who recommended Major General Parkinson's advance commander, and the Duke of Wellington, for their own sake, will definitely do their best to discover the flash points of Major Parkinson. , Describing him as a brave Albian soldier worthy of honor. Only by doing so, their mistakes in recommending people can be dismissed, and the military has always been regarded as a precious traditional fearless spirit in order to continue without any stains. Handed down."
After a pause, after Elder Osiris digested this part, Li Lin spoke again.
"Next ~EbookFREE.me~ As long as the Charlemagne and Pope Yan publicly praised Major General Parkinson, then the Albion will automatically worship the ‘God of War’.

"Is that right?"
"When did I tell a lie?"
--Any time.
The Dragon Elder commented in his heart. There is no "honest businessman" anywhere at any time. Even if there is such a wonderful flower, it has long been eliminated by the society. Fool is the basic professional skills that merchants must have. And as we all know, Li Lin is a successful businessman, politician, war broker, financier, legal expert, public opinion trader...Everything is a nonsense, undisciplined and unrestricted profession, all of which are successful and successful. Li Lin actually said he "when did he tell lies". This is really a cold joke of the annual gold medal.
Elder Osiris, who had finished talking, began to feel better. Although he still could not fully understand the mystery, he had temporarily given up the idea of ​​"canceling cooperation". He planned to observe it for a while before making a decision.
Anyway, the coffin with Major General Parkinson was on his way to Lundym, and it would not take long to know the result. (To be continued...)
