Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Yannick came to the conference room on the other side. Goebbels, Speer, Reinhard and others were already waiting here.

"Everyone, the Polish campaign is over. Let's talk about how to deal with Poland."

Reinhard asked respectfully. "Your Highness, are you planning to colonize them or assimilate them?"

Yannick sighed helplessly. "Of course it's assimilation. Thanks to the damn United States, it's getting more and more difficult to colonize these days. Slaves will always trigger constant resistance. They are more than 30 million people, not pigs, and they can't all be killed. Well. So I decided to implement a soft policy toward Poland and slowly assimilate it."

As we all know, the United States became the biggest winner in World War I. The bulging United States considers itself to be the world's largest economy and industrial power. It was also the victor in World War I and played a decisive role in World War I. Britain and France were in serious decline, so Americans believed that after World War I, Like Britain and France, they can become the makers of the world order, and can even replace Britain's hegemony. But I did not expect that although the Americans suddenly emerged as a force after World War I, they were still no match for the British. Not only were they squeezed out of the League of Nations advocated by Britain and France, but they were also suppressed by the British many times.

Although the United States has surpassed the United Kingdom in the economic and industrial fields, it is still far behind the United Kingdom in terms of political influence. In addition to comparison of strength, political influence is also related to national prestige. National prestige takes time to accumulate. The United States has too little foundation. Although its economic level exceeds that of the United Kingdom, its political influence is far inferior to that of the United Kingdom. This is the difference between the nouveau riche and the capitalists. They are a business family that has accumulated decades or hundreds of years, and their connections and influence far exceed yours. It's not just that you can squeeze into other people's circles by buying a luxury car. The same was true in the United States at that time. It is not that you can replace others when you become economically prosperous. This requires time accumulation and opportunities.

As the world's old colonial hegemon, Britain's fighting methods and diplomatic wisdom are far superior to those of the Americans. The British used skilled diplomatic skills and various means to try every means to suppress the United States. In several confrontations, the United States was defeated by the British.

For example, in the economic field, although the United States has become the economic hegemon, with its economic and industrial strength far superior to that of the United Kingdom, the British did not surrender and almost defeated the United States with just one trump card. In order to deal with the United States, the United Kingdom launched the "Imperial System of Preferences". The United Kingdom required its subordinate colonies to use the pound as the benchmark currency for trade. The various regions within the empire conducted free trade with low tariffs, while imposing high tariffs of more than 30% externally. .

This policy has hurt the United States. In 1924, the industrial output value of the United States accounted for 48% of the world's total at that time. However, as soon as Britain came out, the market for American products immediately disappeared, and it was unable to obtain raw materials from the British colonies. The United States had to digest its excess industrial capacity on its own. , which is also an important reason for the Great Depression in the United States.

If it hadn't been for the outbreak of World War II, the life of the United States might not have improved much, or at least its vitality would have been severely damaged by the British.

Of course, the Americans saw the clues and began to make secret plans.

First, US President Wilson proposed the "Fourteen Points". On the surface, this thing advertises "national self-determination", opposes "secret diplomacy", and advocates the establishment of world peace; in fact, it is an attempt by the United States to use the strength gained during the war to weaken the strength of Britain and France, isolate the newly born Soviet Russia, and prepare A manifesto to redivide the world.

First, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire fell into the trap and split into countless small countries; while the status and influence of Britain and France gradually began to waver and weaken. Although Britain, France and other countries used this principle in the opposite direction and used this principle to derive a new political system - the mandate system - to expand their sphere of influence, it was a pity that World War II broke out soon after.

Everyone knows the result. Through the seemingly generous Lend-Lease Act, the United States completed its economic squeeze on Britain.

The actual economic interests of exploiting Britain could not satisfy the appetite of the United States. Roosevelt and Stalin jointly advocated the principle of national self-determination and made it one of the basic principles of international law. The purpose of the United States and the Soviet Union in doing so was also to weaken traditional colonial empires such as Britain and France that relied on colonial hegemony.

Roosevelt emphasized: "The United States and the Soviet Union are not colonial powers, and it is easier for us to discuss these issues. I think colonial empires will not exist for a long time after the war is over." De Gaulle also understood clearly at the time that Roosevelt supported the independence of the colonies in the world. And these newly independent, fledgling countries will surely depend on American generosity to survive. The personnel and decision-making of the governments of these countries will also be controlled remotely by Washington and Roosevelt.

Yannick didn't think they could cross the ocean and land in the United States and defeat them. After all, due to its special geographical location, the United States does not have to worry about other countries invading its territory. Canada and Mexico can serve as natural barriers, and the United States does not have to worry about these two countries attacking itself. It only needs defense on the east and west sides. And on both sides is an extremely wide ocean. The only way to attack the mainland United States is through sea transportation or air transportation.

Under such circumstances, if he continues to colonize everywhere, the United States will not stop even if the European war is over, and will definitely fan the flames everywhere. Rather than struggling to put out fires, it would be better not to use them at all.

"It takes a total of 12 years from the time a child enters elementary school to the time he graduates from middle school. It should be almost complete in three to four years." Waving her hand, Anne behind her distributed several pamphlets to everyone. "This is a brief summary of the assimilation policies and regulations that I have compiled. The specific details will be written out in a few days when I have time."

"Reinhard, the GSP has fully penetrated Poland and is closely monitoring Poland's elite. Teachers, pastors, scholars, celebrities, and those in the cultural industry." The original plan was to use the Soviets to clean out a group of Polish elites. Yes, now I can only do it myself. "Anyone who opposes Germany, is dissatisfied or even hostile to the empire will be thrown into the concentration camp by me. The empire has no bottom line in this matter and must be merciless. For those civilians who keep their peace and are used by me The elite class must make no mistakes and add some comfort measures."

After giving these instructions, Yannick looked at Goebbels. "Dr. Goebbels, integrate Poland's propaganda departments as soon as possible."

"Understood, Your Highness." Propaganda warfare was Goebbels's specialty. Yannick knew what to do without saying anything. He has a famous saying. "The secret of propaganda is that the target of the propaganda gets close to the theme of the propaganda before he realizes that he has been penetrated. Of course, propaganda has a purpose, but this purpose must be concealed cleverly and superbly, so that the target of the propaganda is not aware of it at all."

"Dr. Speer, resume production in Poland as soon as possible. Clean out all industrial and commercial giants. As for how to distribute the benefits, you can just write a report to me. The wages of local workers will be paid according to the standards of German citizens, and other aspects will be coordinated. Welfare policies motivate them to work.”

After occupying Poland, Germany in the original time and space carried out bandit-style plunder. According to Mustache's orders: all raw materials, scrap iron, machinery, etc. that can be used in the German wartime economy must be transported from this place, and enterprises that are not absolutely necessary to maintain a low standard of living that is only enough to survive must be relocated to Germany. go. In the first four years of occupying Poland, L also transported 80,000 tons of grain from Poland, reducing the Polish economy to the minimum necessary to maintain the survival needs of local residents;

Dr. Frank, the German Governor in Poland, even issued a proclamation: All property in Poland, whether owned by Jews or Poles, would be confiscated without compensation.

In Yanik's view, the effort to dismantle Polish industrial equipment and transport it to Germany was simply a trap. Could it be that these factories couldn't make anything without drinking water from the Rhine? Would it be convenient for the Allies to blow up all the enterprises together? By taking away all the property of the Poles, doesn’t this mean forcing others to rebel?

In order to prevent possible strategic bombing in the future, Yannick strictly prohibited the transportation of machinery and equipment from these Polish factories and continued production on site. The German entrepreneurs who were assigned this piece of cake immediately sent out their capable engineers and managers to start taking advantage of Polish industry, and at the same time improved the treatment of those workers.
