"Prime Minister, if the cabinet does not have enough funds, you can consider borrowing some money from the bank. This might increase the Empire's financial debt. However, everything was for the sake of winning the future war. If we can win the war in the future. Then, everything would not be a problem.
We won the last war with the Gauls, and the Gauls paid us five billion Francs as war reparations, which is equivalent to four billion Imperial Marks. Moreover, we also got Alsace and Lorraine.
If we defeat the Gauls again this time. So, how much should we ask the Gauls for reparations? I personally think that we should at least make them pay 10 billion Imperial Marks. Moreover, the northern part of Gaul would be incorporated into the empire. In this way, not only would the dynasty earn a lot of money, but it would also greatly expand its territory. Especially since the northern part of Gaul was an industrial area.
If we include the Belish Kingdom, which has been following closely behind Gaul, the industrial strength of the Empire will be greatly improved.”
Liu Chuan explained his point of view to the ministers.
The ministers couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.
Thirty years ago, the defeat of Gaul was undoubtedly the beginning of the rise of the German Empire. In particular, the huge war reparations and iron ore production from Gaul gave the German Empire a pair of wings.
If the Germanic Empire could win the next war, it would be a great victory. In that case, he would naturally be able to obtain more benefits.
In comparison, even if he borrowed money from the bank now and owed some debts, it was undoubtedly acceptable.
"However, our opponents this time are not just the Gauls, but also the Sun Never Sets and the Russians. "This will naturally make it even more difficult for us to obtain victory. "But at the same time, once we obtain the final victory, we will also be able to obtain more benefits. Whether it was war reparations, territory, or overseas colonies, we would be able to earn a lot. "In this way, not only can we repay all our debts, but we can also obtain rapid development again.”Liu Chuan continued.
"Yes, Your Majesty. If the Empire could win the war in the future, then all the sacrifices now would be worth it!”Prime Minister Bilo said.
Then, the most crucial question was whether the German Empire could win in the future war.
At the very least, the military leaders of the Empire were very confident.
Even if the enemy of the Germanic Empire was indeed very powerful this time. It would be extremely difficult to defeat them.
However, everyone had great confidence in the Empire.
"Your Majesty, from now on, the Imperial Cabinet will begin to build strategic reserves. In order to achieve victory, the dynasty would definitely be able to complete the construction of the national strategic reserves to ensure the dynasty's victory in future wars!”Prime Minister Bilo said.
Liu Chuan nodded. It would be best if the cabinet could fully cooperate.
"There is also a very important point. The Empire must encourage reproduction. Our fertility rate must be further increased. All young men and women who had reached the legal age of marriage had to get married within two years, unless they were going to school, enlisting in the army, or were sick. A couple must have at least three children.
Our population is too small. If we want to fight against the enemy, we need more people. He had to get the women of the empire to take action.”
Liu Chuan made a new request.
Although it seemed too late now, there were only ten years left before the war.
However, if he could think of a way to delay the outbreak of the war, it was not impossible.
More importantly, he might not be able to make it in time for this war. But what about the next war?
Liu Chuan was already preparing for the next battle.
If the Germanic Empire won the next war, it would be a great victory. Then, the German Empire would definitely become the overlord of Europe. However, if he wanted to become the overlord of the world, he had to defeat other enemies.
For example, the nouveau riche Lighthouse Nation on the other side of the ocean, the Far Eastern Empire, and so on.
In addition, the vast world required more people to occupy.
"Your Majesty, if the population continues to increase, the Empire will become even more crowded.”Prime Minister Bilo was worried.
"This is not a problem. When they grew up, they could use the swords in their hands to open up more land for themselves and open up a wider living space for the empire and the entire nation. The imperial government could pass laws to reward families with three or more children. They even gave them subsidies to reduce the burden of raising their children. It could also solve problems such as housing and work. If that's the case, I believe that the population of the Empire will skyrocket very soon.”Liu Chuan said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Bilo replied.
However, this meant that the expenses of the German Empire's government would continue to expand. However, since he had already decided to borrow money from the bank, there was nothing to be afraid of.
