"The total population of the empire is about 33 million. Don't underestimate this number. Looking at the world nowadays, except for the Qing Empire and India, we can rank third."

"Originally, the population of the Tsarist Russian Empire exceeded ours, but under our constant attacks, especially the capture of large tracts of land and households in Eastern Ukraine and southern Russia, which caused its population to plummet. Nowadays, it will definitely be less than 20 million."

"Originally, the population of the Ottoman Empire was estimated to be close to 15 million. Under the continuous attacks of our country, a large area of ​​land was either taken away or independent, and its population also dropped sharply. The two parts of the east and west are probably less than 10 million."

"There are even fewer European countries, and the most is probably France, which is definitely less than eight million"

"In addition to the quantity advantages, our country has a quality advantage. Over the past 30 years, the army has invested the most in financial resources, and the army is the students. Due to the implementation of free education, what we spend on is almost the same as the army"

"Fortunately, our country is strong at present, not only has the advantage of military strength, but also has very strong competitiveness in commodity products. A large number of cheap and beautiful industrial products are sold well in Europe, Ottoman, Persia, and the Qing Dynasty. The annual fiscal revenue brought by nearly 50 million silver coins"

"Now, my country has a total of nearly 150 million mu of land, and the annual land quota is more than 80 million stones"

"The total amount of our country's army and navy has exceeded 600,000, and the salary required is about 9 million Truchen silver coins every year, and the food required is more than 7 million stones."

"The students at all levels need to consume more than 23 million stones of food every year, and spend nearly 10 million Truqin silver coins in various expenses"

"Craftsmen need to pay nearly four million Truchen silver coins every year, and they need to pay nearly four million stones of food"

"The silver coins and grain that administrative personnel at all levels need to be distributed every year is about two million"

"Even so, my country still has a fiscal surplus of nearly 20 million silver coins every year, and a surplus of nearly 50 million stones of grain. Excluding the war preparation warehouse and relief warehouse, 20 million stones of grain can also be used for large-scale projects every year."

"The above are far superior to European countries"

"In addition, after six years of hard work, the trunk railway from my country to Yili and to Lviv in the east has been completed with the joint efforts of various provinces. All provincial trunk railways in each province will be opened to traffic in the next five years"

"With the natural rubber in Hexian Town, the quality of the sealing ring used in various machines in my country has been greatly improved. At the same time, due to the improvement of metal processing capacity, the service life of my country's steam engine has also been greatly improved. Although major European countries have also begun to trial production in large quantities and use steam engines, it is not the same level as my country's"

"By the way, when I was explaining the national strength just now, I forgot to say something, not only the steam engine, but also the traditional accumulation of power is very sufficient, and the cost of agriculture and transportation is not high"

"There are nearly 100 million cattle and sheep in stock in my country, and more than 20 million horses. Nearly three million can be used for war horses. They can be used in agriculture, transportation and the army. Due to the large number, the prices are not high. The prices of agriculture are stable, and some herders want to transfer to farmers, which is in line with our original intention"

"As for military aspects, let's explain it to Lord Su"

"A squadron is still a 1,500-man team, including a Marine Battalion. The total number of naval personnel exceeds 40,000, and twenty-nine Marine Battalions can be maneuvered"

"According to our country's militia system, there are a total of 400 brigades, one-third of which have been on duty, with about 140 brigades and nearly 500,000 people, all mobilized more than one million"

"At present, Hexian Town, India and South Africa can already support the army with local fiscal revenue, but the Afghan Governor's jurisdiction still needs local support"

Qitad nodded and turned his attention to the Minister of Works Jeddah.

Jeddah said: "Now our country has set up large coal-steel composites in Stavropol, Kavbas, Zaporoze, Kustana, Karaganda, Kolkata, Karachi and Timur cities, which are enough to radiate around the surroundings."

"According to His Majesty's instructions, the coal-steel composite in Bogda City is being planned. In addition, the port of Cagliari in Sardinia, the port of Wonbo in South Africa, and the port of Cebu in Hexian Town have also been set up."
