Chapter 724 The unity of Britain, France and Russia relies on Germany
George has always believed that the power of example is infinite.
The Russian media in the imperial era focused either on the romantic affairs of the aristocratic class or on the gossip of the princes, and did not deal with serious matters at all.
George fully mobilized the power of the media and launched a top-down god-making movement to let all Russians know what is right and what is wrong.
Newspapers stare at the lower bodies of princes every day. Although it satisfies the curiosity of ordinary people, it does not help the social atmosphere. Ordinary people will just follow the same example, creating a vicious circle.
Human nature is evil, and people's hearts are good. Even evil people want to live in a friendly environment.
For more than half a year, Russian newspapers have focused on promoting all kinds of good people and good deeds. It seems that overnight, Russia is full of archangels who hate evil as much as they hate hatred, have a clear distinction between love and hate, are righteous and generous, and are willing to do good.
Such positive publicity is very helpful in changing the social atmosphere. After Cole’s deeds were published in the newspapers, some people went to the Neva River every day, hoping to meet some unlucky child and show their strength. Heroism.
Although this behavior is a bit stupid, it is still better than those guys who get drunk and freeze to death in the snow.
George himself did not expect that what triggered all this was just an opportunity to go on vacation to the Aegean Sea.
This is actually normal. After all, Russians today have almost no resistance to things like chicken soup, and they get sick as soon as they drink it.
Georgi also drank the bowl of chicken soup smoothly, feeling satisfied.
In order to improve the economic level of the Kingdom of Greece, Georgi worried a lot, but there has been no improvement.
Greece wants resources without resources, industry without industry, agriculture without agriculture, and even no local products. Georgi doesn’t know how to start.
Although Greece has rich tourism resources, the tourism industry is in the ascendant. After all, life has not been easy for the rich in recent years.
After joining the Free Trade Organization, people from various countries will move more frequently. If Greece can become the first choice for Russians to vacation, then tourism may become a pillar industry of the Kingdom of Greece.
On October 27, the Kingdom of Greece and Germany joined the Free Trade Organization at the same time, increasing the number of member states of the Free Trade Organization to eight.
It was only then that Britain, France, and the United States came to their senses. It turned out that Russia had quietly won over so many allies.
The most direct reflection of having many friends is that Nicholas Jr.’s voice in the National League is getting louder and louder.
Little Nicholas has a high-profile character. When his temper gets worse, even the British will scold him. He is famous for his irritating behavior.
Germany joined the Free Trade Organization in the hope of getting help from Russia.
The "Versailles Treaty" stipulates that Germany must compensate the Allied Powers 132 billion gold marks in compensation, which is equivalent to 96,000 tons of gold.
Because the Weimar government was unable to pay compensation, France and Belgium joined forces to occupy the Ruhr Industrial Zone in Germany, which had a serious impact on Germany's industrial recovery.
The French are eager for the Germans not to lose money, so that France will have every reason to occupy the Ruhr.
The Ruhr is an important producer of coal and iron ore in Germany. Without coal and iron, it would be impossible to resume industry.
On November 1, Italy and Ottoman Turkey also submitted applications to the Free Trade Organization for membership.
After expelling Muhammad VI, Mustafa Kemal changed the country's system to a republic and established Ottoman Türkiye.
Ottoman Turkey is negotiating with the Allies to amend the Treaty of Sèvres to give up Arabia and cede territory to Russia in exchange for the Allies' recognition of Ottoman Turkey.
This request was strongly opposed by Italy and Greece.
After Germany joined the Free Trade Organization, goods from Russia received duty-free treatment in Germany and their competitiveness greatly increased. This aroused the vigilance of Britain, France and the United States.
Edward Gray, who returned to work in Geneva, took the lead in attacking Russia, saying that Russia was destroying the international trade order.
“You are not only blind, but also blind in your heart!” Little Nicholas was sarcastic and his expression was unforgettable.
“The Commonwealth market is self-contained and goods from other countries cannot enter at all. Isn’t this a disruption to the international trade order?”
Little Nicholas His words aroused widespread agreement, and the British's double standards are also internationally renowned.
Britain's so-called "free trade" is the same as America's tariffs.
When American products enter European countries, they require European countries to reduce tariffs and increase the competitiveness of American products.
European products have to pay high tariffs if they want to enter the US market.
British free trade also has double standards. British goods can be sold to France, but French goods cannot enter the Commonwealth market.
The French were not much better, and they also regarded African colonies as taboos.
By comparison, the free trade organization launched by Russia is simply a charity conference.
“The British Empire welcomes any form of trade cooperation with all countries.”
Edward Gray talked to himself and did not follow up at all.
“Yes, that’s right, it’s best to use the glass balls produced by the British Empire in exchange for the gold gems of the indigenous chiefs.”
Little Nicholas is weird, this map cannon is a bit big .
Exchanging glass balls for precious stones was actually the business model of the first-generation colonists such as Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands. This was considered good, at least it was "exchange."
The British thought this kind of "exchange" was troublesome, so they directly grabbed it.
Not only did they rob the gold and gems, but they also killed all the local natives and occupied the magpie's nest, leaving no land or people behind.
The United States, Canada, and Australia all do this.
The reason why South Africa did not kill all the indigenous people is because the indigenous Boers in South Africa are descendants of white Europeans.
In order to hide his eye disease, Edward Gray wore a pair of sunglasses made in Russia. He looked at Clemenceau beside him, hoping to get help from Clemenceau.
Clemenceau was worried about the cooperation between Germany and Russia.
The Paris Peace Conference did not dismember Germany, which is Clemenceau's eternal regret.
Although Germany's strength has been greatly weakened, with the help of Russia, Germany may regain its strength in a short time, which is what Clemenceau does not want to see——
< br>Clemenceau is almost 80 years old, and there is a high probability that he will not be able to see it.
Of course, there are changes in this. Based on Clemenceau's understanding of the Germans, the Germans will not be willing to just be a vassal of the Russian economy.
Witt also had similar worries.
Germany is not a small country like Goryeo and Greece. Before the outbreak of the world war, its economic strength was stronger than that of Russia. How could it remain under the control of others for a long time?
George is not worried, he hopes to help Germany regain its strength as soon as possible through the Free Trade Organization, so that the external environment will be more favorable to Russia.
To put it bluntly, the unity of Britain, France and Russia depends on Germany.
