Welcome you, please remember the address of this site :, mobile phone reading, so that you can always read the latest chapter of the novel "The Road of the Mediterranean Overlord" ...
On February 26, 1924, at the strong request of the French, the Paris Conference was held at the Palace of Versailles.
The topics of this meeting included the previous three countries' division of the Italian occupation area. Of course, the theme was how to deal with the Germans who ran into debt!
The war reparations paid by the Germans were mainly industrial products, and some coal and cattle were given to the French.
The remaining small part is paid in cash. With the current financial resources of the German government, this part of the cash compensation cannot be paid at all, and the physical payment cannot be increased, otherwise they will not even have the money to import raw materials.
...
"The situation of the Germans is now very clear to everyone. For humanitarian reasons, I recommend lowering their war reparations!" British Foreign Secretary Gray said cautiously.
"Opposition, this war reparation is a punishment for provoking war in Germany, and it is also used to make up for the losses of the participating countries. How can it be easily reduced?
Besides, do Germans really have no money? If there is no money, how did their social welfare come from?
We need to know that the current social welfare of Germans is higher than that of many countries where we are sitting. If high welfare consumes social wealth and there is no money to repay the compensation, it must be waived, then the international order is not a challenge for anyone?
It does n’t matter if you lose the battle anyway, as long as you use the money to send benefits to the people, you do n’t need to take responsibility. The life of the defeated country is better than the victory of the country. How can we explain to the people? French President and Foreign Minister Alexander Milleran said angrily
Does the German live well? of course not! Germans above the seventh floor owe bank loans. In order to pay off their debts, they have to work overtime every day.
Not to mention ordinary people, even many bottom Junker nobles owe huge debts. Many people are forced to produce because of debts. Except for big bankers, no one has a hard time!
Almost exactly the same in history, this also laid a foreshadowing for the future.
We all know these situations, but in order to prove their ability to govern, the Weimar government was better than the government of William II. They chose to whitewash the peace and pretend that they did not see these social conditions.
Since they all pretended not to see it, the natural enemy, the French, could not help them to correct it. Now it is all right. Everyone is living in paradise.
There are many countries that are unwilling to give up compensation. Not everyone has a British family base. Do you still expect Germans to settle domestic economic and financial problems?
"Mr. Alexander has said it right, this kind of rich behavior in Germany cannot be condoned!
Looking at all countries in the world, which country has a welfare plan that is as high as Germans? Being the richest German in the world, isn't it a joke to have no money?
Are they rich in free medical care and free education, rich in paying pensions, and running out of money when paying off their debts? "Tames, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Belgium, mocked
His words empathize with many people. The welfare plan developed by the Germans is simply to grill everyone on the fire, and now they want to cry poor. How is this possible?
Everyone set their sights on Bulgaria. As one of the three major European countries, Bulgaria's attitude will directly affect the outcome of this conference.
"We have no opinion. Even if we abandon war reparations, it has nothing to do with Bulgaria. Since Mr. Gray has proposed reducing the German war reparations, do you think your government has made a decision?
If so, I suggest that we deduct the compensation from our two countries first. The specific amount is up to Mr. Gray. Now you have all the power to decide on Bulgarian and British Empire war reparations! "Mev said with a smile
Everyone set their sights on the British, but this time they were gloating. Everyone knows that Bulgaria has sold its creditor's rights to the British consortium. As the foreign minister of the British Empire, he has the right to full representation.
However, it will be difficult to say whether these consortiums will agree. If one fails to handle it, the London government will be in trouble.
It ’s not that Bulgaria is going to trouble the British. This is what the British ask for themselves. Since they are supporting the Austro-Hungarian Empire against Bulgaria, it ’s no exaggeration for Bulgaria to retaliate in international diplomacy!
At least the British are trying to cut German war payouts. It is even more impossible to loosen the Germans to ensure European balance.
If it weren't for the fact that the Germans were more difficult to deal with than Italy, maybe France has already sent troops to occupy German cities.
After all, after the occupation of Italy, everyone has added a batch of cheap labor, which has made a lot of money for the capitalists of the two countries.
What about the more valuable Germany? Many people are already tempted, but the Germans still exist, and the French dare not act alone.
In case of a sudden outbreak of the Germans, the potential of the German war today is still not much smaller than that of the French, and the two will lose out, and the French will not be tragedy?
Now they are barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes. The Germans clearly determined that the French did not dare to do it alone, or that they had full confidence in the British, thinking that the British Empire would prevent the French from occupying Germany!
"Since everyone opposes the issue of reducing compensation, let's start with the long-term consideration.
Now let's talk about it. The Germans now owe the war reparations of 1924 (note: war reparations were paid at the beginning of the year or at the end of the previous year).
Everyone knows whether the Germans have money or not. It is certainly unrealistic to want them to pay the war compensation immediately.
So do you think about letting the Germans repay by other means?
For example: We provide raw materials, let the Germans process products for us, and let the Germans pay war reparations through labor. Gray decisively shifted the subject
This is the alternative proposed by the London government. Since Ferdinand started the real estate fire, the British economy has recovered with the naked eye.
The idea of ​​"de-industrialization" has also begun to take root in the British Empire. Many capitalists have made money outside by relocating factories.
These people have become loyal supporters of this idea, they shouted slogans, such as: "Let all British people become managers!", "Eradicate poverty from ..."
Anyway, it is to announce the superiority of deindustrialization to everyone. How could Ferdinand not know this?
Just after de-industrialization, there are still a few years of dividends to enjoy, but do not erupt the economic crisis. Otherwise, you will find that there is no real economy as the torso, and the virtual economy in the economic crisis has no ability to resist risks!
"This idea is good, but unfortunately it is not suitable for Bulgaria. We are too far away from the Germans. The high transportation cost is enough to make us run out of dividends!" Metev said disappointed
In fact, his heart has blossomed, and the British have already jumped into the pit. Even if they can't be buried, they can hurt their vitality!
One Germany, one Italy, transferred a large amount of industry to these two countries. What medicines are sold in the British gourds? Only they know it.
Anyway, the more British people invest now, the more they can not let go in the future. In the face of interests, people are always more likely to get hot.
"This plan can be considered, but the wages of the Germans must be determined by us, and the location of the factory must be determined by us. The German government must cooperate with us unconditionally and not collect any taxes!" Alexander Millerland In one breath he said three "must ~ EbookFREE.me ~" Obviously the French also jumped into the pit by themselves. The real estate that was originally prepared to pit the British was also brought to France by the capitalists, and the problem of people's employment was solved.
It doesn't matter to the government whether these factories are opened at home or abroad. No matter there are any hidden dangers, they will not break out in the short term.
For politicians, they just need to keep things going during their tenure and keep the economy booming!
...
In the end, the General Assembly made a decision to let the German government build a large foundry to produce industrial products for the Allies.
Countries provide raw materials, and the Germans are responsible for organizing production. Within a certain period of time, the Germans must come up with corresponding industrial products and serve as war compensation for each country.
History has once again entered a new page. Both Germany and Italy have embarked on the road of labor repayments, while Britain and France have gone further and further on the road to de-industrialization.
