Chapter 860: Arrival, Break the Contract
During the Russo-Japanese War, Witt went to France, hoping that the French government would prevent Japan from issuing government bonds in France and persuade the French not to purchase government bonds issued by Japan in other countries.
At that time, the French government rejected Werther's request on the grounds of "freedom".
The French government's reason is that Japan's issuance of government bonds in France is Japan's freedom.
The French buy Japanese government bonds, which is also the French freedom, and the French government will not interfere.
Freedom is real.
It is true that the French government is not optimistic about Russia.
You cannot shout freedom when it is only good for France.
Russia shattered Napoleon's hope of unifying Europe and interrupted the opportunities given to France by history.
Britain caused no less harm to France than Russia. Not to mention that the Hundred Years War is too far away, France was used by Britain in the World War and ruined a generation.
On the Western Front led by the British and French Allied Forces, almost every battle of the German army was initiated from the area under the responsibility of the British army.
The British army's strength was weak and collapsed at once, and every time the German army quickly made a breakthrough.
The French army had to wipe the British army's butt, mobilized the reserve team to withstand the German army's crazy attack, and coupled with the Russian army's restraint on the Eastern Front, Germany was exhausted to death.
George and Betton were both witnesses of the battle and knew all this very well.
"George, what should I do?"
Betan's expression was confused and he could not see hope.
George wanted to be upset, you are the commander-in-chief of the French army, so you can't be clueless.
Betan worked hard, but unfortunately it was useless.
Compared with Russia, France also has its own national conditions, and Beta's power is far less than George.
Russia's attack on Balakzai is an embodiment of the collective will of the Russian military. George followed the flow and let these confident generals recognize the reality. Your uncle will always be your uncle.
Betan knew the weaknesses of the Maginot Line and hoped to extend the Maginot Line to the Fabi border and also included the Fabi border into the protection area of the Maginot Line.
This request was rejected by the French parliament on the grounds of fear of hurting the Belgians' feelings.
This is definitely an excuse, the real reason is the budget is insufficient.
The French government really has no money, but the French consortium has money.
The French consortium would rather invest money in Germany than support French defense, and Pedro had no choice.
"Do your best to build a modern French army and prevent the German invasion."
George wins.
If France wants to build a modern French army, it must purchase the most advanced weapons and equipment from Russia.
In this way, the Russian government and enterprises will make profits, while France will get security guarantees.
If it is still not safe enough, it is because the security is not strong enough, and it is not that Russia's weapons and equipment are not advanced enough.
Many ants bite the elephant to death.
"On the one hand, you assist Germany and on the other hand, you sell weapons and equipment to France. What is the difference between you and the UK's mainland balance policy?"
Betan was disappointed.
"You can do nothing."
George doesn't care. The current situation in France is very similar to that in the late Ming Dynasty.
In the late Ming Dynasty, internal and external troubles were in trouble, and the court could not even guarantee military expenditure. The powerful and powerful class swept away the snow in front of their own doors and ignored the honor and disgrace of the country.
Chongzhen used up his methods, and his father-in-law Zhou Kui donated only 12,000 taels, of which 5,000 taels were the private money of Queen Zhou.
The King of Chuang took away as much as 520,000 taels of cash from the Zhou family alone.
The same is true for French consortiums. Capital has no borders. Even if France dies, Xiaowang still wants to use these consortiums to maintain its rule over France.
It should be noted that many French consortiums also belong to the Hebrews.
This is why the Gestapo was surprised by the enthusiasm of French police to arrest the Hebrews after France surrendered.
There is really nothing new in history.
Back to the issue of France, if Betan is willing to die, George will be willing to bury it.
Baden did not completely reject George's advice, and ordered 150 armored combat vehicles from Siberia Heavy Industry and left in a bad mood.
Makarov reported to George that Austria's call for merger with Germany is growing.
After Austria became independent from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it once planned to merge with Germany, but was stopped by the League of Nations.
Xiaomouzi himself is an Austrian. Austria has been calling for merger with Germany in recent years, and it has not only appeared today.
The reason why the call is getting louder and louder is that the German economy is beginning to recover, and most of the bearded is also fueled by the fire.
The mustache has fulfilled his promise to reappear the milk and bread on the German table.
Compared to Germany, the Austrians still struggled with hunger, which was the basis for Austria's demand for merger with Germany.
George understood the Austrian demands as the bearded temptation of the Treaty of Versailles.
If the League of Nations does not stop it, I'm afraid the beard will take action next.
The beard is very smart and knows who has the final say in the National League, so Carl comes to George to purchase it again, this time it is a trainer.
George has to admit that compared to Baytang, George even likes the mustache a little.
Betton worked very hard, but he didn't have the courage to completely turn the table up. He could only sew and patch it up, which was not enough to change the strength comparison between Germany and France. The last time the beard passed through the armored vehicle actually broke the restrictions on Germany by the Treaty of Versailles.
Although nominally armored vehicles were purchased for German police, they would not be equipped with the German Wehrmacht.
But in fact, everyone knows that the German police driving those armored vehicles are 100% active-duty soldiers of the German Wehrmacht.
Even if it is not, it can be converted into a national defense force at any time.
Now Germany has started purchasing aircraft again. Will it be sold?
Carl Jr. purchased trainers in the name of the Flying Club, and is also only used for civilian teaching and not for military purposes.
George can also guarantee that those "civilians" in the flying clubs can also become active German troops at any time.
This is a difficult choice. If Russia doesn't sell it, the Germans will turn around and look for Americans.
The United States did not sign the Treaty of Versailles and was not bound by the Refutation of the Treaty of Ersailles.
Little Carl was very generous and wanted to buy 100 trainers as soon as he came. All Russian aircraft factories came over with smells and wanted to get this big order.
100 aircraft in peacetime are definitely big orders.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
"When will your police equip fighter jets?"
George teased Carl Jr., that this day was not far away.
"If you agree, it's OK tomorrow."
Carl Jr. finally found a way to maximize his interests.
Whether it is Russia or the United States, it is not in line with Germany's interests to completely turn to either side. Only by being able to do everything between Russia and the United States can the interests be maximized.
Karl not only wants to purchase aircraft, but also hopes to obtain production authorization and organize production in Germany.
"It's too much. We'll talk about this when we meet next time."
George does not authorize Germany, although it is good for everyone, George also wants to maximize his interests.
“As you wish——”
Carl Jr. was not entangled and was respectful to George.
After leaving Yuriev Palace, Karl went to drink with his brother-in-law Leonid and complained.
"The Grand Duke is too harsh on Germany, which will have an impact on the friendship between Germany and Russia!"
Little Karl has a poor alcohol tolerance and becomes drunk with a glass of wine.
"Come on less, do you get less benefits from Russia?"
Leonid did not allow anyone to slander George.
When the World War just ended, if Russia hadn't offered to Germany the initiative to lend a helping hand to Germany, there would have been a tragedy like the Great Irish famine in Germany.
It is precisely because of Russia's help that Germany retains its valuable military capabilities, otherwise Germany would be unavailable now.
Russia's greatest help is that it has saved Germany's precious industrial workers, so that the German economy can take off quickly.
Although many skilled German workers and scientific researchers have joined Russian nationality and more people have retained German nationality, there are still many Germans who have joined Russian nationality in the past two years and have chosen to re-join German nationality, and they have also been welcomed by their beards. All the doors should be collected.
Even those Germans who have not returned to Germany have not been criticized by the German government and the German media. The media almost unanimously agreed: respect, understand, and bless their choices.
This attitude is very powerful, and many people who were hesitating have begun to tend toward Germany emotionally.
Even those with strong will will not refuse to donate to Germany at least, and it will be more or less interesting.
In recent years, Germany has received more than 10 million rubles from Russia.
This is also widely publicized by the German media as evidence of friendly relations between Russia and Germany.
"Little Lion, if Russia joins forces with Germany, we can conquer the whole world."
Little Carl's eyes were instantly awake.
"Then what about an unprecedented showdown?"
Leonid didn't know how the relationship between Russia and Germany would evolve, he only knew that one mountain would not allow two tigers.
"The world is very big and can accommodate two countries."
Little Carl doesn't have the ambitions of being as big as a mustache.
The beard was not ambition, but was kidnapped by a German tank and kept moving forward, unable to stop at all.
"In any case, our relationship will not change. If one day Germany is no longer safe, you can come to me and remember, there is hope only when you are alive."
Leonid reminded Karl Jr. that Germany is not absolutely safe. If necessary, Karl Jr. can go into exile to Russia in order to achieve the future.
"The same goes for you. If Russia is no longer safe, you can come to me."
Karl didn't take it seriously, and the Yuriev family also had a lot of industries in Germany.
The cunning rabbit has three holes, and it has reached this level and is routinely operated.
George was also cunning. If Russia no longer needed the Yuriyev family, George could still go to the Grand Duchy of Yuriyev and Yugoslavia, or Australia.
Germany and France are strengthening arms construction, and Russia must also take action to prevent problems before they happen.
In amidst the chaos, in March 1936, Germany sent troops to occupy the Rhine Demilitarized Zone and announced the abolition of the Locarno Convention.
Although the adventure of Xiaowang was strongly opposed by the French, it actually received support from the British.
It was said that Britain had just hiding it before, but now it is finally no longer hiding it.
