Welcome to 19th-century Europe, where strength reigns supreme

In the two months since the end of the Franco-Prussian War, Germany's territory has indeed expanded, but there are more and more problems, including people's livelihood issues. August seems to have compromised. At first, she still thought about violent law enforcement. , let these unscrupulous people feel the thunderous skills.

But after the persuasion of many people, I gave up this idea. After all, these are newly occupied areas, and the public sentiment is unstable. It may not be good to forcefully promote Prussian things. The currency system and other messy things can be used first, one for each area. The region is slowly changing.

August was a little strange at first. She had always used this method of operation. First, she drew a big pie, spread the money, and then changed all the things that could be changed in one go. But when she compared In the developed South Germany and Alsace-Lorraine regions, this process does not work.

In the office, August received replies from various local governors every day. There were too many unruly people, and many people fled directly to France. Some people in South Germany even fled to France through Switzerland.

"It's weird..."

August thought, he had already given them enough face, so why were they still making trouble?

Don’t they know how strong the army of Germany is?

Throughout Europe, everyone is watching how Prussia wins one war after another. Forget about the Alsace-Lorraine region, members of the old revolutionary zone, but South Germany, you are the real Germans, not spiritual France. Man, what's wrong with you?

Apparently they have been economically colonized by the French for so long? Are you still being used as a licking dog?

Tina is quite clear about this, "It's still the same problem... the time is too short. We need at least ten years to completely unify the entire German region."

"But I still can't figure it out. The same method can be used successfully in Japan and Malaya? Why can't it work now?"

"It's a very simple thing. There is a huge difference between Alsace-Lorraine and Japan. France is as powerful as Germany. Before we went to Japan, it was just a backward feudal island country. The only source of information was Germany. They don't have what we have, so our policies can be promoted, but Alsace Lorraine already has these things, and it is difficult to force a change in centuries-old habits."

"The Strasbourg Rebellion... has to wait ten years? Or we should squeeze it hard, and then the French will get it..."

"Really? Why not just have the mining right at the beginning and then go to all the trouble to incorporate it into our territory?"

"That's right... take your time. Anyway, there are still thirty years left, and you will be an old woman by then... Youth is really short..."

August looked at the report and found that her road to reunification was going very smoothly. She still had to go to the final destination of Austria. August planned to go soft. She no longer wanted to continue taking risks. It would be safer. The obvious approach is to slowly dismember the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and then annex Austria alone to establish Greater Germany.

To this end, she ordered the establishment of a brand new department in the General Staff. The full name is the State Secret Police. The Gestapo is its German abbreviation. It is responsible for dealing with some potential hidden dangers in the country. Compared with the mustached Gestapo, August is much gentler.

The Gestapo is directly affiliated with the CIA. Together with the German Wehrmacht, since August already has the support of the army, there is no need to hire an SS to torture him. Lillian cannot get full support from the army. talents need it, but August does not need it at all.

Auguste asked the Gestapo to carry out pro-German propaganda in the newly occupied areas, gain control of the high ground of public opinion, promote more best-selling products from the German region, and adopt a non-blocking policy for people who wanted to escape to France. If they wanted to go, they would go. Just don't come back.

If you want to leave, you won't be able to retain people's hearts, so you can leave if you want. But is it really easier to go to France now? Napoleon III's French army had already entered the scene, coupled with the comprador defense government and the stubbornly resisting Paris Commune, France was directly split into three pieces.

The royalists and big capitalists supported the restoration of Napoleon III, and the small and medium-sized capitalists supported the national defense government. Because these two parties were fighting, the eradication of the Paris Commune was much slower.

It has been more than two months, and the national defense government still has not captured the Paris Commune. The revolutionary upsurge has even begun to spread to other regions. Several revolutions have broken out in Spain to support the Paris Commune. This first great revolution of the proletariat is gradually spreading. It slowly spread throughout Europe.

It's just that the German region has not been affected. After all, all the unemployment insurance, medical insurance, compulsory education, etc. that they talked about have been implemented in Germany.

The pro-German Baden region, as well as Luxembourg and the territories close to the German region have given up the struggle and are thinking about how to integrate into the German Empire. Many people find that Germany seems to be pretty good, and it also has maximum working hours and minimum wage requirements. If someone reports forced overtime, the boss will be taken away by the police immediately for investigation.

Some principals of towns and rural schools have decided to take a long-term view and learn French and German together. After all, they have been using French for so long, so it doesn’t matter if it is a local language. Making German a compulsory course can also slightly ease the gap between schools and German. Government Contradictions.

Local schools in various regions gave a solution that looked good, but August actually didn’t think it was a good idea after seeing it, because they first taught French, and then made German a compulsory course. Has it become a foreign language? Can you bear this?

If you really can bear it, what else can you do? You can't kill them, right? In this way, August's character cannot be established. Although he does deserve a beating, there is nothing he can do about it. Just do whatever you want. August said you can do whatever you want.

But taxes still have to be collected and resources have to be mined. Augustus sent a large number of mining teams to the Alsace-Lorraine region, where there is a lot of coal and steel, to dig them all back to Germany. Germany depends on these. Resources took off.

Seventy percent of the people in Alsace-Lorraine hate Germany, the remaining [-]% ​​are undecided, and only [-]% are pro-Germans. It is indeed an old revolutionary area, and the unruly people are There are really many, but this is also because of Auguste. She is too anxious and has too many things to change, which leads to the current problem.

In order to find ways to restore public opinion, the Gestapo, as the main force, tried to use various non-violent means to coerce and induce those who clamored against Germany all day long.

August found a Lieutenant General named Kester in the General Staff and ordered him to be the top executive officer of the Gestapo, responsible for various intelligence work and building momentum for the German Empire.
