The Prime Minister of Switzerland, Yu Tianfang, saw King Sulei of Switzerland and Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin and spoke in a few words.
They decided on the future strategic development of Switzerland.
He was not surprised at all by this situation.
King Rui Sulei is a warlike monarch who always wants to prove himself.
Even though he is the son of Emperor Su He and the prince of the empire.
When he was awarded the title of prince, it was based on his own merits, not his status as a prince.
What's more, when King Qian Mingyi of Shu was the prime minister of the empire, he supported the eldest prince Su Shu to become the crown prince.
This is completely a personal grudge between King Sulei of Rui and King Qian Mingyi of Shu.
When this personal grudge is superimposed on the conflict of national interests.
The war between Rui and Shu is inevitable.
Ruiguo hesitated before, mainly because of two concerns.
One is that some countries waited until both Wei and Shu were defeated, and then they jumped out to pick peaches.
The second is the degree of support of the people of Switzerland for this war.
If we go to an all-out war without the support of the people's power, the war will be very difficult to fight and there is a high possibility of failure.
Rui and Shu both encountered similar turmoil, and public opinion in both countries was somewhat lost.
This must be the action of some European countries, stirring up trouble in Rui and Shu.
The actions of these countries also show that they are willing to act within the framework drawn by the empire.
The possibility of Switzerland being suddenly raided has been greatly reduced.
The behavior of certain countries in guiding public opinion allowed King Sule of Rui to follow the trend, and the people in the country generally supported the war.
The internal and external troubles of the country of Switzerland have been initially resolved, and the shackles tied to the country of Switzerland have also been initially removed.
King Rui Sulei is confident and ready for a big fight.
As the Prime Minister of Switzerland, Yu Tianfang will certainly not stand on the wrong team at important moments.
He waited until King Rui had discussed the matter with the chief of general staff.
Prime Minister Yu Tianfang first supported Switzerland's strategy.
He then said worriedly: "Your Majesty, only a small number of people in Rui support the war.
Most people are silent. Although they have not spoken, their opinions are also crucial.
The imperial court cannot ignore these people, but must win their trust and explain to them why the imperial court wants to launch a war.
As long as the people support us in waging war abroad.
No matter how alienated some countries are, it will never shake the people's confidence in the imperial court."
King Rui Sulei heard this, he nodded and said: "Father once said that in the industrial era of war, only a country that can mobilize more citizens to participate can achieve the final victory.
This ability is called comprehensive mobilization ability.
The empire’s methods over the years have been strengthening the empire’s mobilization capabilities.”
Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin heard this theory for the first time, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that this theory was extremely profound.
He sighed: "I just understand what tactics are and can plan a victory in a war.
The great emperor of the empire is the real strategist.
As soon as I understand this sentence, I can understand how extraordinary it is.
Industrialized countries produce weapons and ammunition very quickly.
As long as there is industrial capacity, it is a very simple matter for weapons and ammunition to meet the consumption of the army.
Soldiers who have initially mastered military skills are the core of an army.
How many such soldiers can be mobilized by the country to go to the battlefield, then how many soldiers are available to fight.
When the Shu Kingdom fired guns at the militia, it was just a deterrent.
The morale of the militiamen will be higher when they defend their property.
They don't go through rigorous training and actually go to the battlefield.
It can only become cannon fodder and will soon be defeated and collapse, and it will also cause the collapse of friendly forces.
Even so, Shu's millions of militiamen can scare other countries.
The imperial court can really improve its mobilization capabilities and draw out hundreds of thousands of combat-ready soldiers.
Even if the imperial court encounters a joint encirclement and suppression campaign by various countries, I am confident of blocking their attack."
Prime Minister Yu Tianfang heard about Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin's unique flattery skills.
He seemed to be admiring Emperor Su He, but in fact he was praising King Su Lei.
After Prime Minister Yu Tianfang heard this, he also knew what he should say.
"Your Majesty, in order to strengthen the mobilization ability of the imperial court.
We should make it clear to the people why the court launched this war and why they wanted to fight.
I believe that only by explaining to the people why we are fighting and mobilizing them to join the army can we avoid huge costs."
King Su Lei of Rui raised the corners of his mouth slightly when he heard the words of the two important ministers.
"My two beloved ladies can understand what I said, and I am really happy.
The methods used by various countries are too crude and they can only guide public opinion in secret.
If the imperial court is to guide public opinion, it must use its overwhelming momentum to completely crush other public opinions.
The king has decided to personally publicize the court’s policies through the radio station.”
Prime Minister Yu Tianfang thought about King Sulei's approach.
Switzerland also introduced the new technology of radio from the empire.
They began to think about using broadcast technology to replace telephones to command the army.
It was found that the broadcast base station was too large to be able to move with the army.
But radio stations are a better publicity channel than newspapers. They not only have a publicity role, but can also bring huge benefits.
Radio stations in Switzerland are also developing extremely rapidly.
Broadcast signals can cover almost the entire territory.
This is also an extremely safe method.
Ruiwang Sulei only needs to visit the recording studio, there is no need to deal with complicated personnel, and safety is guaranteed.
But one thing is that radios are extremely expensive and only rich people can afford them.
Prime Minister Yu Tianfang thought of this situation, and he immediately reminded: "Your Majesty, this method is indeed a very good method.
But the popularity rate of radios in our country is not that high.
Only high-income groups such as engineers, businessmen, officials, and teachers can afford radios.
The way the King preaches through the radio can only allow a small number of people to listen to the program."
King Rui Su Lei laughed and said: "The popularity of radio is not high, which is also the reason why other countries use radio to promote public opinion, but the effect is not good.
They can only affect some high-income people.
These people were helpless. The imperial court wanted to use the radio, but it had a different method.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In order to accurately convey the imperial decrees, a large amount of money was spent to establish a large loudspeaker broadcasting system for grassroots use during the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The imperial court only needed to distribute radios to grassroots officials.
Let people who cannot afford radios listen to relevant programs through the large loudspeaker broadcast system at the grassroots level.
Through this channel, at least 80% of the people can be covered, which is enough."
Prime Minister Yu Tianfang was pleasantly surprised and said: "The king's method is really an admirable one.
I will deploy it immediately, and the king will wait a few days before he can announce the policy to the people of the country."
…
4363 (1666 AD), February 25th.
Yue Guo Shenglong Laowang Noodle House.
Zhang Dafu shouted at the door: "Old Wang, bring me three meat buns."
When Lao Wang saw that it was Zhang Dafu, an old customer, he asked in surprise: "Dafu, remember you are from Shaanxi and don't usually buy cheap duck meat buns.
I have authentic mutton steamed buns here.”
Because Lao Wang Noodle House is close to the No. 2 Neighboring Machinery Factory, its buns are sold to frontline workers.
Duck meat buns have a lot of meat and are cheap.
Zhang Dafu looked at his watch, it was already half past seven.
He shook his head and said: "There is no time, today King Rui is announcing national policies on the radio.
I need to rush to the factory immediately and organize the workers to listen to the lecture.
If it weren't for the fear that a rumbling stomach would affect the workers' listening to King Rui's lecture, they wouldn't even want to eat the meat buns."
Lao Wang handed over the buns and patted the radio on the counter.
"This is indeed a big deal, a delay.
The government also organized us common people to listen to King Rui's sermons collectively.
If you have a radio at home, you don’t have to go. You can stay at home by yourself.
There are no radios at home or in the homes of relatives and friends, so we must collectively listen to King Rui’s sermons through loudspeakers.”
Zhang Dafu also had a radio at home, and he thought he could listen to it at home.
Who knew that the superior leaders suddenly said that they must organize workers to listen to King Rui's preaching.
He then hurried towards the factory and didn't even have time to eat breakfast.
At 7:50 in the morning, King Sule of Switzerland came to the Swiss National Radio Station.
Prime Minister Yu Tianfang said confidently: "Your Majesty, everything is ready.
I have prepared three backup plans, which will definitely allow the King’s voice to reach all parts of the country.
This matter was also included in the assessment of the local government to ensure that most people could hear the king's speech.
The King's speech today will also be recorded and played repeatedly through the loudspeaker broadcast system from time to time.
I guarantee that those who do not have time to listen to the sermon today will make up for it later.
The people who heard the preaching deepened their impressions by listening to the preaching repeatedly."
King Rui Sulei nodded. Prime Minister Yu Tianfang arranged it very well. He had nothing to say.
He looked at the sound engineer and director looking a little nervous.
Rui Wang Sulei sat in front of the microphone. He said in a calm tone: "Don't be too nervous, just show your usual work level."
Ruiwang Sulei's tone was calm, and the employees of the radio station were even more nervous.
If you make mistakes at work, your salary will be deducted.
If they make a mistake at work today, they don't know what the price will be.
Today I have to show a performance that is much better than usual.
The time soon came to eight o'clock, and King Rui Sulei announced that the time for the lecture had officially arrived.
Many people in Switzerland pricked up their ears, ready to listen to the sound coming from the loudspeaker.
People who have radios at home are happier.
The radio has been tuned in advance, ready to listen to Thunder King Sulei's sermon.
The peaceful voice of King Sulei of Rui was transmitted to thousands of households in Rui through electromagnetic waves.
"I am your king Sulei, King Rui.
I learned that the war between Rui and Shu suddenly broke out in the Hongshanling area, and many people were confused.
Some people think that the Hongshanling area belongs to the Shu Kingdom and that we are attacking the Shu Kingdom.
Some people feel that the frontline army is making slow progress and are dissatisfied with the army's performance.
Some people feel that the war has nothing to do with them and just want to live their own small lives."
Ruiwang Sulei did not carefully prepare the speech, but lowered his position and gave the broadcast speech with a normal speaking attitude.
The reason why he did this was to get closer to the people.
"The Hongshanling area is not the territory of Shu. Anyone who says so is harboring evil intentions.
Every version of the official map published by our country has made it clear that the Hongshanling area belongs to our territory.
The Shu Kingdom encroached on our territory through illegal means.
Not even an inch of our country’s territory can be lost.
Territory is absolutely non-negotiable. As long as I am in office, there will never be a moment to cede territory for peace.
Even if we have to pay a huge price, we will take back the territory that belongs to us.
Even if we pay any price, even if many countries block it, we must do this."
King Su Lei of Rui opens the chapter in name, and he immediately occupies the moral peak, indicating that the Hongshanling area belongs to Rui.
The war fought by Switzerland was a just war.
When a war is just, citizens will definitely support it rather than resist it.
In order to get the people to support the war, in addition to the sense of justice and honor, the most important thing is to make the people feel that they can benefit from the war.
Whether it’s getting money or getting a sense of security.
"The war started, and things were not going well.
This is because we want to use war to promote peace and bring Shu to the negotiating table to resolve the issue through negotiation.
Our efforts completely failed.
Shu regards our sincerity as our weakness.
We must let Shu realize how powerful we are.
Next, the imperial court prepared to expand the scale of the war.
Next, you may want to take time to participate in militia training.
The factory will receive more orders from the court, and everyone may work overtime.
Everyone's hard work is pushing our country forward and achieving final victory."
Zhang Dafu organized workers and listened to King Rui's preaching.
When he heard this, he couldn't help but said excitedly: "Our factory will have more orders in the future, and we can earn more wages."
For workers, national affairs are too far away.
If they get more wages, they are willing to support the war.
"The imperial court will conduct a new round of recruitment.
I never hesitate to reward soldiers for their meritorious service.
In this battle of Hongshanling, twenty-five people were knighted for their duties, and two earls appeared.
As long as you perform well on the battlefield, you can become a noble regardless of your origin."
King Sule of Rui openly recruited soldiers and emphasized military merit and knighthood.
Nobles have many privileges, and becoming a noble is the highest goal for many people to join the army.
Soldiers are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that their death will not be worth it.
No matter how hard they try, they can't get what they want.
King Sule of Rui reiterated in the name of the king that as long as he obtained military merit, he would definitely have the hope of becoming a noble.
This is the confidence he gave to the people, causing them to join the army enthusiastically.
He proposed that the title of knighthood was only based on military merit, which also gave the local indigenous people an opportunity.
If they want to fully integrate into the country of Switzerland, it is the smoothest way to achieve military success and become a noble.
"I announce that Switzerland will officially enter a state of war preparation starting today.
I hope that every citizen can do their part to make Ruiguo stronger.
Only the powerful country of Switzerland can ensure that you have a stable living environment."
This is the end of King Rui Sule’s preaching.
His speech this time was mainly to express the attitude of the monarch.
He used simpler language to close the distance with the people and reminded them that they were also part of the Rui country.
In order to build a better Switzerland, they must contribute at this time.
After Rui Wang Sule finished his lecture, he kept paying attention to the results of the lecture.
The local government quickly reported on the performance of local people over the phone.
Rui Wang Sulei preached through the radio station this time and achieved excellent results.
