Vol 5 Chapter 74: Foxconn

A genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? 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 conference included the division of the three countries' occupation of Italy. Of course, the topic was how to deal with the Germans who strayed from accounts!
The war reparations paid by the Germans were mainly industrial products, and some coal and cattle were also given to the French.
The remaining small part is paid in cash. With the current financial resources of the German government, it is simply unable to pay this part of the cash compensation, and the physical charge cannot be increased, otherwise they will not even have the money to import raw materials.
...
"The current situation of the Germans is very clear to everyone. Out of humanitarian considerations, I propose to lower their war reparations!" British Foreign Secretary Gray said cautiously
"No, this war reparation is a punishment for Germany's initiation of war, 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 must know that the current social welfare of the Germans is higher than that of many countries in which we are sitting. If the high welfare consumes social wealth, and there is no money to repay the indemnity, then the international order is not subject to challenges?
Anyway, it doesn’t matter if you lose the war. As long as you spend all your money to distribute welfare to the people, you don’t need to take responsibility. The life of a defeated country is better than that of a victorious country. How can we explain it to the people? "The French President and Foreign Minister Alexander Millerin said angrily.
Do Germans have a good life? of course not! The Germans above the seventh floor all owe bank loans. In order to pay off their debts, they have to work overtime and work overtime.
Not to mention ordinary people, even many Junker nobles at the bottom owe huge debts. Many people are forced to produce due to debts. Everyone except the big bankers has a hard time!
It is almost exactly the same as in history. In history, this also paved the way for the anti-Jews in the future.
Everyone knows these things, but in order to prove their ability to govern, the Weimar government is better than the William II government. They chose to whitewash the peace and pretend not to see these social conditions.
Since they all pretended not to see it, it is naturally impossible for the French as their old enemy to correct them. It is better now that everyone lives in paradise, which has become the best weapon for France to accuse Germany of deliberately failing to account.
There are many countries that are unwilling to give up indemnities. Not everyone has the wealth of the British. Do people still expect the Germans to indemnify the domestic economy and finances?
"Mr. Alexander is right. Germany's behavior of not paying back money cannot be condoned!
Looking at all countries in the world, which country has developed a welfare plan that is higher than the German? As the richest German living in the world, is it a joke to have no money?
Do they have money with free medical care and free education, they have money when they pay their pensions, and they have no money when they pay their debts? "Belgian Foreign Minister Tams sneered.
His words made many people feel the same. The welfare plan developed by the Germans simply put everyone on the fire, and now they want to cry poor. How can this be possible?
Everyone turned their attention to Bulgaria. As one of the three European countries, Bulgaria's attitude will directly affect the outcome of this meeting.
"We have no opinion. Even if we give up the war indemnities, it has nothing to do with Bulgaria. Since Mr. Gray proposed to reduce the German war indemnities, do you think your government has made a decision?
If it is, I suggest that it is better to deduct it from the compensation of our two countries first, and the specific amount will be determined by Mr. Gray. Now you have all the power to decide the reparations for the war between Bulgaria and the British Empire! "Medev said with a smile
Everyone turned their attention to the British, but this time they were gloating. Everyone knows that Bulgaria has sold the creditor's rights to the British consortium. As the foreign minister of the British Empire, he has the right of plenipotentiary representative.
However, it is difficult to say whether these latter consortiums will agree. If one fails to deal with it, the London government will be in serious trouble.
Bulgaria is not trying to trouble the British, but the British are asking themselves. Since they are supporting the Austro-Hungarian Empire against Bulgaria, it is not an exaggeration for Bulgaria to retaliate against them in international diplomacy!
At least the British attempted to reduce the Germans’ war reparations. It is even more impossible to untie the Germans to ensure European balance.
If it weren't for consideration, the Germans are much more difficult to deal with than Italy, and perhaps France has already sent troops to occupy German cities.
After all, after the occupation of Italy, everyone 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 have been tempted, but the strength of the Germans still exists, and the French dare not act alone.
If the Germans suddenly broke out, the German war potential is still not much smaller than that of the French. If you lose both sides, the French will not be a tragedy?
Now they are barefoot and are not afraid of wearing shoes. The Germans clearly believe that the French dare not do it alone, or that they have full confidence in the British and believe that the British Empire will prevent the French from occupying Germany!
"Since everyone is opposed to the issue of reducing indemnities, we should start with a long-term plan.
Now let's talk about the Germans now owing the war indemnities for 1924 (note: war indemnities 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 definitely unrealistic to ask them to pay the war reparations immediately.
So have you considered allowing the Germans to repay by other means?
For example: We provide raw materials, let the Germans process products for us, and let the Germans pay for war reparations through labor! "Gray decisively changed the subject
This is an alternative plan proposed by the London government. Since Ferdinand started the real estate fire, the British economy has recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The idea of ​​"de-industrialization" also began to take root in the British Empire. By transferring factory sites, many capitalists made money outside.
These people have become loyal supporters of this idea, and they chanted slogans such as: "Let all British people become managers!", "Eliminate poverty from..."
Anyway, it is to announce the advantages of de-industrialization. How could Ferdinand not know this situation?
Just de-industrialization, there are still a few years of dividends to enjoy, but do not break out an economic crisis. Otherwise, you will find that there is no real economy as the trunk, and the virtual economy in the economic crisis has no ability to resist risks at all!
"This idea is good~EbookFREE.me~ Unfortunately, it is not suitable for Bulgaria. We are too far away from the Germans. The high transportation cost is enough to make us exhaust the dividend!" Metev said in disappointment.
In fact, his heart has already blossomed. The British have jumped into the pit, and even if they can't be buried, they can hurt their vitality!
One Germany and one Italy transferred a large amount of industry to these two countries. Only they knew what medicine they sold in their gourds.
Anyway, the more British people invest now, the less they will be able to let go in the future. In the face of interests, people tend to get mad at them.
"This plan can be considered, but we must decide the salary standard for Germans, and we must also decide the location of the factory. The German government must unconditionally cooperate with us and not collect any taxes!" Alexander Millerland Said three "must" in one breath.
Obviously the French have jumped into the pit themselves. They were originally planning to pit the British real estate, but they were also brought to France by the capitalists. The employment problem of the people was solved.
Then it doesn't matter to the government whether these factories are opened at home or abroad. No matter what hidden dangers there are, they will not break out in the short term.
For politicians, they only need to avoid problems during their term of office and keep the economy prosperous!
...
In the end, the conference made a decision to let the German government build a huge foundry to produce industrial products for the Allied countries.
Countries provide raw materials, and the Germans are responsible for organizing production. Within a certain period of time, the Germans must produce corresponding industrial products to serve as war indemnities for the countries.
History has once again entered a new page. Both Germany and Italy have embarked on the road of labor repayment of loans, while Britain and France have gone further and further on the road of deindustrialization.
