Genius remembers this site address in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? Italy was under military control very smoothly, but unfortunately the war reparations that the Allies wanted are still beyond reach, and due to the entry of coalition forces , Italy’s economy deteriorated further.
In the Kingdom of Italy, where the unemployment rate is as high as 50%, the people are already clanging poorly. Don't look at the payment of war reparations. One by one, they still count on the Allied forces to distribute relief food?
Fortunately, the southern Italy region is lagging behind the industry, and the agricultural population accounts for a considerable proportion. There are not too many people in need of relief.
After reaching an agreement with the British consortium, Ferdinand ordered the garrison to distribute a batch of relief food, and then began to work for relief, such as: leveling the land, building factories...
The French in the north are tragedy. How about millions of people pointing to the French army to eat?
If they are in a dilemma, they will give out relief food. The congressmen can't pass the test. If they don't give out relief food, Italy will soon be in chaos.
When Italy is in chaos, the war reparations have also fallen through. The French government is worried!
The British, who reacted a step slowly, are now starting to read jokes. Because of their military strength, they only controlled Rome, and their pressure was relatively minimal.
Withdraw troops from Italy? Just think about it. If you return without success, how can you explain it to the country? It's not that everyone like Bulgaria has sold their claims!
The cooperation between Bulgaria and the British consortium was not kept secret, and soon everyone knew, but it was still out of the wait-and-see stage.
In 1924, after the first batch of factories were put into production, the British consortium participating in them increased their investment under the stimulation of interest.
Soon the French began to learn the same. The world's first industrial migration broke out. Italy seemed to have become a huge industrial park, with factories all over the coast.
The London government suddenly realized that it was at a disadvantage. Did they not get the share that belonged to the British Empire?
Bulgaria and France occupied Italy from the east and west. How could the British Empire be enough for one Rome?
Negotiations must be negotiated! The share belonging to the British Empire must be taken back, especially the French-controlled area!
Southern Italy occupied by Bulgaria was developed in partnership with a British consortium. This is acceptable to them, but the French controlled the most elite northern part of Italy and were all eaten by the French consortium. This is unbearable.
The negotiations on the Italian issue have not yet started, and there is another problem in Germany.
The Germans applied for a postponement of the war reparations that were supposed to be paid at the end of 1923, and with the support of the British, they obtained the consent of the Allied Powers.
At that time, everyone was restrained by the problems in Italy. They didn't want any problems in Germany. The French also made concessions and agreed to a quarterly delay in payment by the Germans.
Now the time is approaching. As a result, the German government once again asked for an extension, and at the same time it also asked the Allies to reduce or exempt part of the war reparations.
The Weimar government really has no choice this time. The major kingdoms with the best economic recovery in the country only subscribed to the part that they originally divided, and the rest fell to the central government.
While the central government controls the region, the Weimar government is carrying out liberal political reforms, such as establishing a parliamentary system and opening universal suffrage. Anyone who is over 20 can participate in elections.
On the other hand, it is improving social welfare, such as: eight-hour work system, weekend double-break system, granting government personnel union rights, simultaneous operation of the dual-track system of regional social security benefits and central social security benefits, comprehensive free education, free medical care...
On the surface, these policies are all good, but except for the right to vote, everything else is a castle in the air, and the people can't see it.
For example: an eight-hour work system. Yes, the whole country is an eight-hour work system. It’s just that you have to work four hours of overtime every day without compensation, and continue to work overtime on weekends. The reason for the capitalists is: to repay war reparations, so everyone does it every week To work overtime for at least 40 hours without compensation.
There is no problem. Half of Germany's industrial products have been used to repay the debts of the Allied Powers. Therefore, this class must be added for free. If you don't work overtime, you will get out. If you dare to make trouble, you will go to jail.
Another example: social security benefits. Because of the lack of finances, these welfare funds are in a state of arrears for many years. Many people have high pensions in name, but unfortunately they are paid in devaluation marks.
Depreciated more than four thousand times the mark, is it the same as the original golden mark? Therefore, these so-called pensions have no effect except self-deception.
Free education, the Germans are still doing a good job, basically implemented.
Free medical care is just fooling people.
The so-called free medical care is only effective in the public hospitals established by the Weimar government. There are only two such public hospitals in Germany, and the total number of medical staff is less than one hundred.
With such a scale~EbookFREE.me~ can the German people find these two hospitals?
Even if you find it, you go to the queue, and the doctor tells you that there are more than seven-figure people in front of you in the queue, wait a hundred years to come again!
Don't look at these projects as empty shells. In fact, these projects are gold-swallowing beasts. Half of the German government's annual budget is swallowed up by the bureaucracy.
The French accuse the German government of deliberately failing to account, and it is not unfounded. If there is money for social welfare, why don't you have the money to pay off your debts?
...
"Tell the Germans, if they can persuade the British consortium, we don’t have any opinion. Now they are only related to the British consortium, and the Bulgarian government is just a routine collection!" Ferdinand said coldly.
The Germans may think that Bulgaria is easy to talk about, but actually want the Bulgarian government to abandon German war reparations. How is this possible?
The creditor’s rights have been sold. Could it be that the Bulgarian government paid for the Germans to pay off the debt?
Even if they did not sell their credits, Ferdinand would not be able to forgive their debts. These are all money. Is it because of the so-called German-Public friendship? It seems that the relationship between Germany and Bulgaria is not so important yet!
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Metev replied
Perhaps it was annoyed by the attitude of the Germans, Ferdinand added: "At this Paris meeting, we will be responsible for watching the show. If the British support the Germans’ proposal, let them take care of the domestic Consortium!"
Get the domestic consortium? If the London government had such strong patience, they would not worry about financial problems.
The capitalists are not easy to mess with, whoever dares to touch their cheese, they will invite someone to eat sweet potatoes!
The politicians in London are not so unselfish yet, and for the benefit of the Germans, they have sacrificed their lives.
