Conquer the world starting from the Kaiser's driver

Lin

Shangzhou, who was sitting in the car, looked out the window at the street, with Goebbels next to him and Louis in the passenger seat, driving naturally Bode.

They were driving on the road to the SPD office, and Lin Shangzhou informed the SPD top management yesterday that there was going to be a meeting today, and the content of the meeting was related to the general election, and he was going to discuss with the top brass how to draw the pie, this kind of decisive election is different from the small elections in the city, and if you don't draw the pie, you will wait for all your voters to flow to other parties.

Today's meeting will decide on the SPD's response to the election, which is why he will be wary of Erich Koch, who has not been able to fully trust him, although his contacts with the right wing have decreased in recent times.

He was indeed frightened by himself and turned to support himself, but no one except Koch himself knew what he thought, what if he sold the SPD?

This is not completely impossible, but after thinking for a while, Lin Shangzhou felt that Koch would not necessarily do this, and he could be frightened by the rumors from firmly opposing himself to firmly supporting himself, which shows that he is a guy who is afraid of death, and life is the most important thing for such a guy.

Thinking about it this way, Lin Shangzhou didn't think he needed to worry so much about Koch, and after thinking about it, he stopped worrying in his heart and turned to thinking about the election.

The SPD is a political party with a long history, although the current SPD is a "Social People's Party" formed by a coalition of the "Social Democrats" and the "Progressive People's Party" rather than a single "Social Democratic Party".

It is precisely because of this that the SPD's voter base has changed, and in general it has increased, but it is not clear what group Lin Shangzhou has added, so from this point of view, he also needs the Progressive People's Party to participate in the meeting.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the office of the SPD, and on the way to the conference room, Lin Shangzhou and others met Anton Eklenz, who also came to the meeting.

After saying hello in return, Ecklenz looked at Goebbels beside Lin Shangzhou suspiciously, he had never seen this person in the party.

"Mr. Hippel, is this your friend?"

Ecklenz's doubts were expected by Lin Shangzhou, although Goebbels was a member of the SPD, he worked in the newspaper for most of the time after he came to Berlin, and hardly came to the SPD office, and it was normal for Ecklentz not to know him.

Lin Shangzhou nodded, and then introduced to Eklenz: "Well, this is the deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper Forward, Paul Goebbels, and he is also a member of the SPD.

After hearing the deputy editor-in-chief of the "Forward", Ecklenz's eyes lit up, he didn't know Goebbels, but he knew about the "Forward" that since this was the deputy editor-in-chief of the "Forward" and also a friend of Lin Shangzhou, he was also qualified to participate in this meeting.

After boasting to Goebbels, Ecklenz entered the conference room with Lin Shangzhou and others.

The others were already in the conference room, just waiting for them to come, and after entering the conference room, Lin Shangzhou and the others also sat down separately, and he, as the party leader, naturally sat in the seat that belonged to him.

After sitting down, Lin Shangzhou looked at the top leaders of the SPD sitting on his left and right, in the past, the SPD did not have a definite leader, so the meeting was held in that large conference room, and the leaders sat on the podium respectively, and came here after having a clear party leader.

Despite being the leader of the party, Lin Shangzhou did not actually see himself entirely as the leader of the party, and no one present was more suitable to be the leader of the SPD than he was, and the "New Berlin Declaration" was further improved by their joint efforts, and he only took advantage of the emperor's support.

As a result, Lin Shangzhou has an unusually high level of respect for the SPD, with the exception of Louis and Koch.

He counted the number of people and called the meeting open after making sure they were all there.

At the beginning of the meeting, Lin Shangzhou was the first to raise his own question: Who exactly will the electorate increase after the merger

of the two parties? Erich Koch answered the question, in short, some of the middle class chose to support them, but the same merger of the two parties also caused some voters who originally belonged to the Progressive People's Party to break away from the voters and support other parties.

After knowing the main voter groups, Lin Shangzhou began to discuss with the participants how to do it.

One of his personal ideas was to win over the German peasants - not Juncker, of course, but the out-and-out peasants on German soil, but after this idea was proposed, Louis's brows furrowed, and he directly opposed the idea and raised his own question: How to

win over the peasants? This question stumped Lin Shangzhou, and the way to win over the peasants was to let the other party benefit, and the way to make the peasants benefit was very simple, give him land or make grain more expensive, or both.

In the process of thinking, Lin Shangzhou also found that he had made a mistake, when it came to farmers, he subconsciously thought that Chinese and German farmers were the same, but in fact, there was a huge difference between Chinese and German farmers.

He thought of the peasants he had seen in Strasbourg in the past, and that the peasants there were similar to the Chinese peasants, who were small, self-sufficient farmers, and it was what he saw and heard there that led Lin Shangzhou to exacerbate this misconception.

Lin Shangzhou also mentioned his own experience in Strasbourg, and then Louis told him that the peasants in Strasbourg were very different from the German peasants in other places.

After learning about these differences, Lin Shangzhou continued to think about the feasibility of winning over German farmers, he knew that it should be judged according to the national conditions, but he still did not believe in evil, after all, the development of CPC could not be separated from farmers.

The peasants of Germany are not short of land, and the German peasants of a few hundred years ago would have been on your side because you promised them land, but the German peasants of today will not, and this topic cannot be raised in Germany.

If you can't start from the land, you have to start with agriculture.

The most direct way for farmers to make profits is the price of grain, the higher the price of grain, the more direct benefits farmers can get, and if you can get money, then farmers will naturally support you.

It is impossible to directly raise grain prices in this regard, and it is necessary to start with tariffs, raise tariffs, and reduce imports, so that when grain prices rise, the German peasants and even Juncker will naturally profit, but in the final analysis, such behavior is a wrong behavior, which can only bring temporary benefits and cannot bring long-term benefits.

Germany's current food self-sufficiency, in addition to squeezing the people of Africa and Ukraine, Africa doesn't matter, it's too far, but Ukraine Lin Shangzhou can't help but care.

It is impossible not to mention Ukraine, Russia, a great power in the East, which has irreconcilable contradictions with Germany.

Peace between Germany and France is theoretically possible, but peace between Germany and Russia is absolutely impossible, no matter which faction in Russia comes to power, no matter who comes to power, their diplomatic policy is to start a war against Germany, even if Kerensky is not dead, then he will accumulate strength and wait for revenge by escaping German hegemony on Black Monday.

Lin Shangzhou knew that Germany in the future would inevitably face a two-front war, and the west would directly border the Commune, which had no way, but in the east, the Kingdom of Ukraine, the Kingdom of Belarus, the Kingdom of Belarus, the Kingdom of Lithuania, and the United Baltic Principalities were the eastern wall that Germany used to defend against Russia.

The eastern wall cannot be broken, and Ukraine, as the largest country in the eastern wall, cannot leave Germany.

Ukraine has an enviable size of black soil, so it has a well-developed agriculture and a large number of peasants, whose grain is mainly exported to the countries of the Imperial Pact, the majority of which are Germany.

The history of both OTL and KX proves that Germany cannot meet its wartime needs with its own grain production alone, so imports are necessary, and Ukraine is the best target for crushing.

Grain brought from Africa during the war was at risk of being intercepted and sunk by the British Union, but Ukraine on land could transport grain to Germany by rail without hindrance.

At the same time, Ukraine was a German dog in the Imperial Pact, and the children of Ukrainian peasants could be sent to death for the children of German peasants.

However, all this is based on the fact that Ukraine does not have a coup d'état, does not leave the Reich Pact, and it is good for him to remain neutral after leaving the Reich Pact, and it will be bad for Germany to turn left or join the camp of Moscow.

A big condition for Ukraine's stability is that farmers can live, and the implementation of trade protection policies before Black Monday to reduce the import of Ukrainian grain will not have much impact, because Ukraine can still sell to other countries of the Imperial Convention, but this will cause a huge hidden danger, and this hidden danger will completely explode with Black Monday.

At that time, the situation will not be under Lin Shangzhou's control.

After some careful consideration, Lin Shangzhou figured out that the German peasants were on the side of the Junckers, and it was impossible for them to stand with the SPD if they hoped to implement trade protection measures.
