The top leaders of the German Empire were surprised to find that just one year after their glorious victory, the empire was in crisis.

First, there was a huge crisis in the banking industry. Almost everyone who had deposits in the bank went to the bank to withdraw their deposits.

Then banks began to collect debts from companies and factories that had taken loans. Factories and companies that could not repay their debts had their claims sold off by banks.

At this time, there were not many people in the entire German Empire holding large amounts of cash.

Many companies have been acquired by banks with Daming Capital background.

In other words, Ming Dynasty was close to controlling the economic lifeline of the entire empire.

At this time, Germany had no choice but to go to war with the Ming Dynasty.

Because what the Ming Bank did was completely legal in Germany, and the Ming Empire Bank did not engage in any forced transactions.

There are even many business owners who beg the Ming Empire Bank to acquire their businesses.

If Germany wants to get these companies back, the only way it can use force is to use force.

You can use force...!

Can't beat it!

The entire Mediterranean has now become the Ming Dynasty's sphere of influence, and Italy and Spain have evolved into Ming Dynasty's loyal lackeys.

Portugal actually applied to join the Ming Empire!

Crete and Corsica became Ming Dynasty's two starting points in the Mediterranean.

Especially Corsica, opposite the southern coast of France.

In the last war, southern France was reduced to rubble by the Ming Navy's naval artillery.

Marseille, the pride of the French nation, was completely reduced to ruins. In this huge city, the complete buildings were less than one percent of what they were before the war.

A large number of people who lost their homes had no choice but to migrate to the interior of the empire. As for those poor fishermen, they had no chance to go to the sea.

To be precise, the Ming Empire's navy can land on the southern coast of France at any time. Moreover, it can also launch attacks on France in Spain and Italy.

In the past, Germany would certainly not have cared about this.

But things are different now. France is now German territory.

If it is attacked by the Ming army, it will be led by the French who are extremely dissatisfied with the Germans.

It is possible to occupy most of France almost without a single blow!

By that time, the German army would need millions of troops to defend the French lines.

The eastern front is even longer!

Germany and Russia carved up Poland, and there was a border of thousands of kilometers between the two countries.

In addition, the Ming army has already stationed troops in Austria and can attack German territory from there at any time.

In these places, the Ming Dynasty was investing countless manpower, material and financial resources to build railways and highways.

Build an airport and airship landing!

Even on the German border, defensive support points with trenches and fortresses as the core were built.

These strong points appear to be defensive in nature, but they can also become starting positions for German attacks at any time.

What makes the Germans even more uneasy is that the Ming Empire is actively wooing the Scandinavian countries.

The navy has docked at the Danish port on the Baltic Sea, and the two countries are negotiating to lease the Danish port.

Although Germany also has a fleet in the Baltic Sea, the size and tonnage of the German fleet are completely incomparable with the Ming army.

What's more, the Ming Army has the only aircraft carrier in the world.

This kind of warship can destroy any warship from a distance of 150 kilometers.

Even a warship as powerful as a battleship will be sent to the bottom of the sea by the roaring Stuka.

It can be said that the Ming Empire has strategically surrounded Germany from all sides.

And as time went on, the Ming Empire's offensive capabilities became stronger.

Especially after the railway was built, the ability to transport materials and soldiers to the front became even stronger.

What makes Germany feel even more desperate!

Although Germany now controls a population of over 150 million, this is a population of 150 million that was severely damaged by the war.

In terms of combat effectiveness, only the German army can pull it out and defeat it.

On the other hand, look at the Ming Empire!

The Russians were loyal allies of the Ming Dynasty, as were Austria, Italy, the countries on the Balkan Peninsula, Spain, Portugal and even Switzerland, which declared neutrality.

These countries have all become allies of the Ming Dynasty!

The Ming Empire is like the leader of the European alliance. As long as they give an order, all these countries will form armies and fight with the Ming army.

Not to mention other countries, Russia alone was able to mobilize an army of more than three million people to fight with the Ming army.

In the last war, Russia even mobilized five million people to join the army.

Although Russia suffered a lot during the war, it also gained a lot after the war.

The Nordic countries paid them sky-high war reparations. Not only did they take back Ukraine, they even further occupied Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.

Poland was also cut in half by them!

In the European part of Russia, the border extends forward for more than 800 kilometers.

The huge victory made the friendship between Russia and Ming even more unshakable.

If the Ming Dynasty declared war on Germany, Russia would definitely join the war and mobilize a large number of troops to join.

The fight was fruitless! The country also suffered legal robberies. The entire German leadership was angry, but there was nothing they could do.

"The Ming people are drawing our blood!"

Asch issued a filial piety at the Berlin Supreme Council!

But no matter how filial he was, he could not prevent the German enterprises that had lost financial support from being acquired by Ming Dynasty.

What makes the Germans even more angry is that Ming's acquisitions of some companies were hostile takeovers.

Just like the Bavarian Piano Factory, this is a famous piano factory in Europe.

The entire European royal family orders pianos here. All nobles are proud to have a Bavarian piano at home.

But after this piano factory was acquired by the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty people moved almost all the equipment in the factory, and the experienced old technical workers were also arranged by the Ming Dynasty people to go to the factory in Italy.

All remaining workers will be directly laid off with severance pay in accordance with the law.

Those old skilled workers don't want to leave, but they have no choice.

The whole family always needs to eat, and they have been making pianos all their lives. If they leave this profession, they don’t know what they will do.

Besides, the treatment given by Ming Dynasty in Italy was pretty good.

If you stay in Germany, not only will it be difficult to find a job, but prices will also skyrocket.

Skilled workers from all walks of life left Germany under the arrangement of the Ming Dynasty and went to European countries that were friendly to the Ming Dynasty.

There are many, and they even went to Russia.

Those who stayed behind were unable to find jobs after spending all their severance pay.

Hunger was spreading, and unemployed Germans who could not find jobs began to cause riots.

Social order has begun to deteriorate, and crimes, mainly robbery and theft, are occurring in large numbers on German soil.

For all this, Germany felt deeply helpless.

Because the German government no longer has much tax revenue. Civil servants are almost unable to pay their salaries.
