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.
