Vol 5 Chapter 166: , Push 1-Edge of War

A genius remembers the site address in one second: (Top Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? There is a kind of gain, which can be called gaining in inches; there is a kind of loss, which can be called back and back again.
This sentence vividly explained the European international relations before World War II. The three countries that dominated Western Europe for a long time were Britain, France and Germany.
After the end of the First World War, Germany was defeated. Due to the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles, it instantly lost its dignity and status on the land of Western Europe, and was burdened with a huge amount of compensation, which caused the Germans to be in dire straits.
After the outbreak of the economic crisis in 1929, nearly 7 million people in Germany were unemployed and faced the danger of starving to death; 6 million were only temporary workers and lived a life of torment without a meal.
The people of the German government complained that the German government was at a loss and hoped for international assistance. Unfortunately, everyone was overwhelmed at this time.
"Your Majesty, the Germans once again submitted a loan application to us and promised that all the loan funds will be used to buy food!
It seems that the German government will soon be exhausted, and there is no way to solve the domestic economic crisis. At this time, they have to distribute relief food in the name of the government to stabilize the situation! "Foreign Secretary Metjeev analyzed
"Affected by the economic crisis, the total amount of food imported by the Germans in the first half of this year fell by nearly three million tons. The crisis has come!
If the German government is unable to obtain more food, then civil strife will break out. This crisis is not only the central government, but even the major kingdoms! "The chancellor frowned and said
"Well, now that the Germans have stopped paying war reparations, don't they still have the money to buy food?" Ferdinand asked in confusion.
"Your Majesty, the German government used its limited resources to bail out the market. As a result, the capitalists were saved, the government lost money, and the economy still did not improve.
Not only in Germany, but the rescue operations in many European countries have solved the problems of capitalists and have little impact on the economy.
However, under the current circumstances, capitalists dare not venture to invest. This forms a vicious circle, and the money is concentrated in the hands of a few people.
There are problems with economic circulation. At this time, governments of various countries abandon the gold standard and print banknotes, saying that it is to enhance the international competitiveness of commodities.
In fact, there are too few funds circulating in the market, and they have to print money in order to make the economy work again.
However, this approach did not change the fact that money is continuously concentrated in the hands of a few people.
The gap between the rich and the poor continues to widen, and the economic crisis continues to spread. According to the economic policies of various countries, the world economy will not improve in the next few years! "The Chancellor of the Exchequer Kennedy explained
Ferdinand nodded. Sure enough, this economic crisis in history lasted for several years, and it did not conform to the laws of the market.
Now he understands that it is all countries simultaneously using currency devaluation to stimulate the economy, weakening the scale of the economic crisis, and at the same time accelerating the time of the economic crisis.
It was supposed to quickly complete the survival of the fittest, eliminate a large number of backward or advanced production capacity, and normalize the market. As a result, the economic crisis was delayed for several years as the government artificially continued the life of these enterprises.
Knowing the root cause, of course Ferdinand pretended not to see it. The economic crisis continued and everyone's interests were being lost, but the British Empire must have suffered the most.
This time and space is not the same as in history. Colonies alone can no longer laugh at the British industrial capacity.
In this context, unless the three North American countries are asked to reduce their industrial production capacity, in fact they can do little.
From the perspective of industrial technology, the industrial production capacity of the three North American countries also lags behind that of the British Isles. They have not been able to absorb European elites. In fact, the industries of the American continent are still far behind the European continent.
In this kind of competition, the three North American countries will definitely suffer. Can these North American consortia be willing to give in?
In terms of destructive power, these American capitalists are not a little bit stronger than their European counterparts, but they are true believers of capital without borders.
For profit, what can they not do?
Don't look at them as if they have already converged with British capital, do you think there is no contradiction between the two sides?
In fact, as long as the benefits are sufficient, they don't mind directly annexing British capital. They have a criminal record.
In the face of the life and death of enterprises, if capitalists want to survive, they must defeat other counterparts, and the contradictions between capitalists will definitely intensify.
For example, you have invested in five companies in the United Kingdom and three countries in North America. Under normal circumstances, you don't want to see any damage to any of these companies.
But now it is different. In order to grab the market, these companies have to die at least half, so you have to make a choice.
Your choice is not the same as your partner's choice. They may not have invested in these companies at the same time, and the equity distribution is also different.
If your basic disk is in the UK, then you must choose to sacrifice the North American industry, but the North American partners definitely disagree, then everyone can only part ways.
Even if the capital is really me in you and you in me, but the market is not infinite. In an economic crisis, in order to survive, we still have to bayonet.
You can't have both fish and bear paws. You can only choose to maximize your benefits. After you make your choice, contradictions naturally arise.
After the conflict broke out between North American capitalists and British capitalists, where will the London government stand? Do you still need to think about this question?
"How much money do immigrants from Germany have to send to the country every year?" Ferdinand asked concerned.
"Your Majesty, the money sent by German immigrants to China reached a peak of 860 million levs in 1923, and then began to decrease year by year. By the end of 1929, it had fallen sharply to 380 million levs.
After obtaining Bulgarian citizenship, many people chose to take over their families, so the foreign exchange income of the German government will slowly disappear in the future! "Chancellor Kennedy replied
Ferdinand smiled slightly. This is inevitable. People tend to be better. Not everyone can persist in paying for long periods of time without asking for return.
Beginning in 1917, Bulgaria began to dig people in Germany. At the beginning, these were really just planning to go out to work, so that the family can live a better life, so if you have money, you send it to your home.
But after a long time, they gradually got used to life in Bulgaria, the domestic situation has not improved, and the initial contract expired. At this time, they faced a choice again.
Either continue to stay in Bulgaria and lead a good life; or return to the country and lead a precarious life, see no future, and hang around in the foundry every day.
Many people first returned to China with enthusiasm to seek development, but it didn't take long before they were overwhelmed by reality.
Ideals are supported by bread. In Bulgaria, with a high salary, technology and scientific research, after returning to China, they can only go to the foundry to work hard. They have different salaries that can fill their stomachs. Not everyone can do this gap. insistent.
For their families, bread, and themselves, they had to come to Bulgaria again with disappointment. This time they usually chose to emigrate with their family.
Does the German government know this situation?
Obviously impossible!
They know better than anyone the danger of brain drain, but they know that in the face of huge foreign debts, the government has been unable to spend a lot of money to save these people.
The whole family has moved away, can you still count on people to continue sending money?
Without this foreign exchange income, the German government's life is naturally even more difficult. At this time, even buying grain has become difficult.
"Do the Germans have a mortgage? Or what else do we need the Germans now?" Ferdinand asked after pondering for a moment.
"Your Majesty, I think that apart from human resources, Germany has nothing worthy of our efforts at this time. In terms of scientific and technological innovation, the Germans have not made progress for ten years.
Except for the high-quality basic industrial workers, they actually don't have anything now, and the high-level talents have almost been divided among countries! "Prime Minister Constantine thought for a while and said
"High-quality basic industrial workers? We have no shortage of these people now, so let's refuse the loan application of the Germans. Their debt repayment ability is really worrying!" Ferdinand sighed.
Unless the government guarantees the Germans, the German finances are bankrupt at this time, and which bank is willing to lend to the Germans is obviously a meat bun and a dog.
At the same time, he also knew that this decision undoubtedly pushed Germany to the brink of war!
The German government has no money, and the German people have no money, but this does not mean that the German capitalists have no money either.
In the face of crisis, what kind of decision will the Germans make?
At this time, it was the turn of the German capitalists to be unlucky. Excessive greed requires a price. In the face of life and death, the fighting power of the people is often bursting.
Not surprisingly, the "oil" capitalists will be unlucky again. Who makes them richest?
European countries have summed up historical lessons, and all prohibit the "oil" people from owning land, let alone enter the military and political circles.
In addition to business and work, the "you" people actually have no other careers to choose from, and the traditional culture of the "you" people is to train businessmen, so they have become the richest people in the world.
The so-called "no business, no evil", "oil" too has done a lot of treacherous business behaviors such as loan sharking, monopolizing industries, hoarding goods, and speculating high prices.
For example, the supply of food in Germany is now in short supply. For the sake of profit, the "oil" people prefer to dump the food that many people can't afford to the sea instead of selling at a reduced price.
In order to maximize their benefits, they can watch the German people starve to death on the streets, and are unwilling to lend a helping hand. You must know that during this period, the "oil" capitalists do not lack foreign exchange in their hands.
As long as they are willing, they can import more grains from abroad, sell them at a fair price, gain a good reputation, and reverse their political disadvantages.
Obviously, they are all qualified capitalists. In the pursuit of maximizing their interests, in the face of reputation and interests, they have chosen interests. This is the source of the disaster.
In the economic crisis, they chose to take advantage of the fire. Most banks in Germany were controlled by them. They also became creditors of 70 to 80% of Germans, which once again pushed them to the point of no return.
With or without Citler, the Germans have to fight against oil. This is caused by interests. In order to survive, ordinary people have stood on the opposite side.
In contrast, another group of capitalists in Germany, the Junker nobles, are much smarter, or the identity of the nobles makes them restrain their behavior.
Although they are also taking advantage of the fire, their reputation is much better. Everyone lends usury together, hoards together, and makes huge profits together. While doing all this, the Junker nobles still put out a small part of their income to buy people's hearts.
This has something to do with their tradition. The Junker nobles will basically enter the army and become an officer. In order not to be shot, they cannot do too much.
Occasionally show kindness, extend a helping hand to former comrades-in-arms, or rescue a few worms.
These behaviors are trivial, but if you compare them with "oil", everything is different.
Even if it's a show, the impact of doing it and not doing it is different. Of course, the "oil" people just want to do, and they must do more to achieve the same effect.
Originally, the outbreak of the economic crisis was their best chance to reverse their reputation. As long as the "you" Tairen stepped up to do a wave of charity at this time, the people's hostility towards them could be eliminated.
Then the disaster will naturally cease to exist, and the evil that the capitalists made, in the end, those who really paid for it became ordinary "oil" people.
Before the outbreak of the crisis, the "oil" capitalists were basically gone, and the rest were the unlucky ones without money. After all, after the outbreak of the anti-"oil" movement, there was still a long time to evacuate. But you need to buy road money.
Of course, Ferdinand couldn't understand their behavior of asking for money and death. You must know that "Citler" still has a quarter of "oil" too bloody, and he was not against "oil" in his youth.
In the end, it was because of the needs of economic interests that the two sides could not get together and embarked on an extreme road. The betrayal of the "oil" capitalists in World War I ~EbookFREE.me~ was also an important reason.
"Your Majesty, the British and the German radicals have entangled together. If the economic crisis continues, they may manipulate the Germans behind the scenes to break the order of the European continent in order to divert the economic crisis!
If we do not pull the German government a hand, I am afraid they will fall soon. A chaotic European continent is not in our interest! "Prime Minister Constantine said carefully
"I also know this problem, but the problem now is that we can't pull the German government at all. They don't even mean to move closer to us!
It is impossible for us to spend a big price to support a German regime that is destined to fall and is not protected. This is a waste of resources!
Now it is easy for the Germans to start a war, but it is very difficult to win the war. I don't think they can challenge France and Austria.
This time they also have no allies, except for a semi-crippled Italian, no one is willing to challenge the world order at this time! "Ferdinand said after thinking about it.
In this world, the situation of the Germans is much more dangerous than in history. It is a question mark whether the whole country can be unified. Even if the whole country is unified, their population is only more than 50 million, including ethnic minorities.
The total amount of industry has exceeded the same period in history. Unfortunately, this is only light industry. Scientific research and technology are still stuck in the First World War. Whether the overall national strength can reach half of the Third Reich is a question mark.
After all, Austria is gone and the Czech region is gone. Even the west has been eaten by France and Belgium by tens of thousands of square kilometers, losing part of the heavy industry and millions of people.
Therefore, Ferdinand can watch the excitement. The French and the Austro-Hungarian Empire will not allow them to rise so easily. At the same time, facing the attack of two great powers and the cooperation of several internal kingdoms, the Germans will not be able to withstand it if they don’t hang up. of!
