You call me a big treacherous evil?

For this kind of project, Victor knew that once the time passed, the morale of the project team would start to drop, and the low morale would in turn affect the progress of the project.

So that night, Victor had dinner with all the engineers who were free. After feeding these engineers with empty wallets, Victor let these scientists and engineers think about this project with peace of mind.

Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Scientific research, revolution, and sawing wood are all the same. Sometimes you will move forward and sometimes you need to retreat, but generally they are developing in depth.

This project will last forever, and they can pour all their enthusiasm into this project without worrying that the project will be cancelled.

Because of what I said before, we want to compete for outer space, and insert the red flag to other planets to follow the national policy of Kanglian.

Only by relying on your efforts, Kanglian can guarantee its superiority in aerospace.

The airship is just a joke, and the real aerospace industry depends on the rocket engine.

After inspiring the technicians of the space agency.

Victor started another round of parade to the military regions across the country.

This is an old problem of Victor. When he was a captain before, Victor used to check whether the equipment of each soldier was ready. Now that he has been promoted to general, Victor is still used to go to all military regions to check the status of troops at least once a year. .

And this kind of inspection is a surprise inspection, and he will not be notified in advance of the military area he is going to inspect.

Once Victor finds something wrong, those officers will be called by Victor to his own office.

Then there are those officers who would rather charge against the Teutonic bullets than bear the "Victor's roar".

Of course, it's not just the chief officer who is unlucky, the political commissar will also be called in to be trained together.

When the chief officer of the army pulls his hips, you, as the spokesperson of the party organization here, did not lead the matter in the right direction, so you are also responsible, right?

So the third quarter of 1919 passed during Victor's routine inspection of the Kanglian troops.

During this period, apart from another group of "unlucky people" in the Politburo going to the Crimea for vacation.

Another major event happened in Kanglian, so that Victor even dispatched the Flame Army to cooperate with the internal affairs force to block the border.

What caused the problem was the problem that made the members of the Politburo feel headache.

Collectivization of agriculture.

Agricultural collectivization has proceeded very smoothly in other places in Kanglian. In most places, there are very few rich peasants and middle peasants who are extremely disgusted with collectivization.

Either under the guidance of the Cheka Committee, he joined the warm embrace of the commune.

Either they went to Kimberia for labor reform. It can be said that the progress of agricultural collectivization is going very smoothly.

In addition, farm tools were uniformly distributed in the commune, and chemical fertilizers were provided.

After some communes also had experimental tractors, labor productivity increased a lot.

But there is one exception.

That is Eastern Swadia.

The food produced on this fertile land has always been the key product of the Lucian Empire to stabilize the domestic situation and earn foreign exchange.

And when the emperors or empresses of the past dynasties tried to abolish the serf system, this place was also the biggest beneficiary of the policy.

There are not only the largest number of rich peasants, but also the most rigid and orthodox Church.

In the previous agricultural collectivization, this was the area where the Quankang Federation had the lowest willingness to participate in collectivization.

Coupled with the remarkable results achieved after the promotion of agricultural collectivization in other regions, the Politburo is ready to promote the agricultural collectivization work in the Swadia region.

After the Politburo passed the resolution, Nicholas, who was originally in charge of the economy, also changed his previous attitude of opposing agricultural collectivization.

Beginning with a strong hand began to force the collectivization of agriculture.

If the rich peasants in the original Swadia area were placed in Seris, they basically started as a class of small landlords.

So they are naturally unwilling to give up their property and join some commune.

So some die-hard rich peasants began to slaughter the driver's livestock, and then abandoned the land and fled to Teutonia.

In some villages, religious ceremonies even took place. The villagers held the banner of the Orthodox Church and rushed to the border empty-handed in an attempt to go to Teutonic.

This move was immediately identified by the Politburo as a counter-revolutionary (♂) riot, and the Internal Guards and Flame Army began to dispatch to try to quell the riot.

The crackdown and border closures were carried out very quickly.

For those rich peasants who slaughtered their livestock and tried to force their way across the border.

The unified standard of the Cheka is that Kimberia labor camp has one seat.

But labor camps alone cannot solve the problem.

Because at this time Kanglian is in the throes of reform.

The process of a country transforming from an agricultural country to an industrial country is always painful, because it needs to obtain enough funds for industrialization.

In the absence of colonies for blood sucking, using scissors to cut off the wealth of the countryside is almost the only feasible way.

Although in the vast land of Kimberia, there are rich minerals including gold mines.

The support from Kanglian has also lowered the cost of Kanglian's industrialization.

But there is nothing free in the world, even the assistance between class brothers needs to be rewarded.

After the establishment of the Kanggong Federation, in order to gain the support of the proletariat, including workers, it is necessary to improve their treatment.

In other words, what the Brandonian Empire once had, now the Cong Gonglian must also have it!Not only that, but more than Age of Empires!

Relying on sucking blood from the global colonies, although the labor intensity was very high in the empire era, in order to maintain the physical strength of the workers, the bourgeoisie still let those workers who can work and have not been squeezed out by the factory have sugar, bread, and butter on the table. And tea.

Even the bread served to the homeless in the workhouse can be sprinkled with salt.

Although the treatment is much worse than that of the upper class, it is already much better than the people in most countries in the world.

After all, in most places in the world, the first thing to face is whether there is food, not whether the food is good or not.

Even during the Great War, when the supply of supplies was scarce, after the rationing system was adopted on the main island of Brandenia, butter could occasionally appear on their tables, and bread could also be supplied stably.

In contrast, the workers of the Teutonic Empire had potatoes and cabbage on their tables, entering the stage of eating what they had.

Therefore, the Confederation of Kanggong wants to improve the treatment of the proletariat without the blood transfusion of the global colonies.

In addition to using rationing to make distribution more equitable and reduce waste.

At the same time, it is also necessary to import a large amount of food from Kanglian and South Asian America, so that the workers' table meat, which could only appear once or twice a week in good years, now becomes a meal every other day.

While achieving this standard of living, we must still be able to export revolution, intervene in civil wars, and conduct scientific research.

As a class brother, Kanglian must be able to fill the food gap of Kanggong.

Although under Victor's proposal, the fish and chip shops that are now sweeping the streets and alleys of Kanggonglian like wildfire can reduce some of the demand for high-end food.

After all, no one can refuse fried starch and meat, if you add some special sauces, it will be lore.

But potatoes have to be provided, too.

To fill such a huge hole, before the agricultural collectivization is completed and the productivity of most rural areas has been greatly improved, what Kanglian can count on is naturally the traditional granary of Swadia.

Theoretically speaking, this piece of black land can satisfy the supply to the main island of Brandenia.

However, there is a small problem, that is, to promote the collectivization of agriculture and maintain the scissors gap for industrialization.

When collecting Swadian grain, the purchase price given by Kanglian was lower than the market price.

In addition, Kanglian implements a unified purchase and marketing policy, prohibiting everyone except Kanglian grain stations from purchasing grain.

This kind of move has dampened the enthusiasm of the peasants, and the rich peasants already have some savings.

So they simply refused to sell the grain, and planned to use this method to force the price of grain to rise.

It's just that this method may be able to deal with ordinary grain collectors, but it can't compete with the tax collectors of the Lucian Empire, let alone those anti-revolutionary committee members wearing blue hats.

In order to complete the grain collection quota issued by the Politburo, the administrative officials in Eastern Swadia of course used the most direct method, dispatching workers' pickets and anti-revolutionary committees to the countryside to collect grain.

The food has been harvested, but the contradictions have intensified.

Originally, this place was where the royalists gathered together, and the rich peasants were in groups. In terms of class and ideology, they belonged to the existence that Kanglian wanted to eliminate.

In addition, although Swadia and Lucia geographically belong to the Near East of the Old World.

But in terms of ethnic composition, the national identity here is more inclined to Rimbaud in the west. They consider themselves Swadians, and they can only be regarded as relatives with the Lucians in the east.

After all these problems were brought together, the dissatisfaction caused by the unified purchase and sale of grain and the compulsory grain requisition were intensified by the implementation of forced agricultural collectivization.

This led to the East Swadia rich peasant riots.

The Politburo also finds it very difficult to face this root cause of contradictions in economics and ideology.

The problem of rich peasants is not like the problem of the bourgeoisie and capitalists in Kanglian.

The capitalists who did not support Kanglian were physically eliminated directly through public trials and other means.

The capitalists who supported Kanglian, after the redemption, rearranged these people who had returned to the status of laborers back to their labor positions.

Since their numbers are relatively small, and the working class as producers are all on the side of Kanglian, the Politburo was able to complete the integration of the old industrial sectors in this relatively simple and crude way.

But for the rich peasants, it cannot be solved in such a simple way.

Because this is a group of millions of people who are also laborers and producers on the land.

Once it is not handled well, it will lead to a terrible problem: famine.

Facing this problem, Nicholas started his swing again.

In order to establish a special zone in Eastern Swadia, a compromise was reached with the rich peasants.

And Kanglian raised the purchase price of agricultural products, and the rich peasants stopped their riots and resumed production.

Since then, Eastern Swadia will no longer carry out agricultural collectivization construction, and continue to maintain the original production mode.

This kind of proposal naturally triggered a reserved project in the Politburo, Victor who slapped the table.

However, it was different from Nikolai who chose to keep his mouth shut after Victor opened his mouth in the past.

This time Nicholas chose to confront Victor and asked Victor to come up with a solution. If there is no solution, it cannot affect the agricultural production of Eastern Swadia.

Now is a critical period for the construction of the two proletarian countries. The agriculture of Eastern Swadia is the guarantee for the construction, and there must be no troubles.

Victor, who was sprayed back by Nicholas, was a little taken aback.

Guaranteeing the food supply of Kanglian is indeed the most important issue besides the completion of industrialization of Kanglian.

Because the food self-sufficiency rate of the Kanggong Federation is extremely poor, without external food imports, people will definitely starve to death just relying on the agriculture of the Brandenia Island occupied by the Kanggong Federation.

But it is also impossible to abandon the collectivization of agriculture in Eastern Swadia.

Not only because of the limitations of the small-scale peasant economy, but also because these rich peasants dared to slaughter livestock today and tried to cross the border to escape to Teutonia, would they dare to counterattack against the Kanglian with the Lucian nobles and bourgeoisie who fled abroad tomorrow?

So at the Politburo meeting that day, in addition to approving that those rich peasants who dared to make trouble and attack the border were arrested, transferred to Kimberia for labor reform, and the rich peasants who took the lead in making trouble were shot immediately.

There was no discussion about what kind of policy should be adopted for Eastern Swadia, whether agricultural collectivization should continue to be implemented, and how it should be implemented.

Because although agricultural collectivization is a good thing for the country and farmers in the long run, after collectivization, it can not only improve labor efficiency, but also improve the ability to resist risks.

But in the short term, it will indeed lead to a decline in the income of rich peasants, and the compensation for their own land, livestock and other means of production will be insufficient, and it will also make rich peasants resist collectivization.

For this problem, Victor has no good solution for the time being.

Because economic problems can only be solved economically in the end, it is impossible to send all the millions of people in Eastern Swadia to Kimberia in one go.

Then set up a production and construction corps in Eastern Swadia, right?

This is not tens of thousands, nor tens of 10, but millions of people. If you do this, the Teutonic emperor next door will die laughing on the spot.

The expired military supplies of various wars will be sent here, and some veterans will be sent here, and the Yan army will fight an almost endless war here.

By the way, all the morale of the army was destroyed.

So when his mind was in a mess, Victor was going to do something to decompress first.

When some people are in a bad mood, they like to take a convertible car to relax.

Victor is different, he likes to see something golden in front of him.

So Victor is going to send the gold company to Bryansk to collect gold.

No matter how the situation in East Swadia develops in the future, hard currency is always needed to solve the problem.

So Victor is going to get some hard currency.
