Bulgarian Empire

Chapter 74. The German version of Foxconn

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements!? On February 26, 1924, at the strong request of the French, the Paris Conference was held in the Palace of Versailles.

The topics of this meeting included the division of the occupied areas of Italy by the three countries before, and of course the topic was how to deal with the Germans who reneged!

The war reparations paid by the Germans were mainly industrial products, and some coal and cattle were 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 in-kind payment cannot be increased, otherwise they will not even have the money to import raw materials.

...

"Everyone is very clear about the current situation of the Germans. Out of humanitarian considerations, I suggest reducing their war reparations!" British Foreign Secretary Gray said cautiously

"No, this war indemnity is a punishment for Germany instigating the 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 does their social welfare come from?

We must know that the current social welfare of the Germans is higher than that of many countries where we are sitting. If the social wealth is consumed due to the high welfare, and there is no money to repay the compensation, if it is exempted, then the international order is not open to challenge?

Anyway, it doesn’t matter if you lose the war, as long as all the money is used to distribute welfare to the people, you don’t need to take responsibility. The life of the defeated country is better than that of the victorious country. How should we explain to the people? "French President and Foreign Minister Alexandre Millerand said angrily

Are the Germans doing well? of course not! Germans above the seventh floor all owed bank loans. In order to pay off the debts, they had to work overtime and do endless work every day.

Not to mention ordinary people, even many low-level Junker nobles owed huge debts. Many people were forced to go bankrupt because of their debts. Except for big bankers, life is hard for everyone!

It is almost exactly the same as in history. In history, this also paved the way for the future anti-Semitic anti-Semitism.

Everyone knows these situations, but in order to prove that their governing ability is stronger than that of the Wilhelm II government, the Weimar government chose to whitewash the peace and pretended not to see these social conditions.

Since they all pretended not to see it, it is naturally impossible for the French, as old enemies, to help them correct it. Now everyone is living in heaven, and it has become the best weapon for France to accuse Germany of deliberately reneging.

There are many countries that are unwilling to give up reparations. Not everyone has the family background of the British. Do you still expect the Germans to pay reparations to solve the domestic economy and finances?

"Mr. Alexander is right, the behavior of not paying back the money in Germany cannot be tolerated!

Looking at all countries in the world, which country has a welfare plan that is higher than that of the Germans? As the richest German in the world, isn't it a joke to have no money?

Could it be that they have money for free medical care and free education, have money when paying pensions, and have no money when it comes to paying off debts? " Belgian Foreign Minister Tams sneered.

What he said resonated with many people. The welfare plan created by the Germans simply put everyone on fire, and now they still want to cry poor. How is this possible?

Everyone turned their attention to Bulgaria. As one of the three major European countries, Bulgaria's attitude will directly affect the outcome of this meeting.

"We have no objection. Even if we give up the war reparations, it has nothing to do with Bulgaria. Since Mr. Gray suggested reducing the German war reparations, do you think your government has made a decision?

If so, I suggest that it should be deducted from the indemnity of our two countries first, and the specific amount will be decided by Mr. Gray. Now you have full decision-making power for Bulgaria and the war reparations of the British Empire! ’ Megev said with a smile.

All eyes were on the British, only this time they were gloating.

Everyone knows that Bulgaria has sold its debts to the British consortium at a low price. As the foreign secretary of the British Empire, he has the right to be a plenipotentiary representative.

It's just that it's hard to say whether the latter consortia will agree. If one is not handled well, the London government will be in big trouble.

It’s not that Bulgaria wants to cause trouble for the British. This is what the British asked for. Since they are supporting the Austro-Hungarian Empire against Bulgaria, it is not too much for Bulgaria to retaliate against them in international diplomacy!

At least the British attempt to reduce the German war reparations is useless, and it is even more impossible to ensure the balance of Europe by loosening the Germans.

If it weren't for the consideration that the Germans were much more difficult to deal with than Italy, maybe France would have sent troops to occupy German cities by now.

After all, after the occupation of Italy, everyone has added a batch of cheap labor, which has already made a lot of money for the capitalists of the two countries.

What about Germany, which is worth more? Many people have already been tempted, but the strength of the Germans still exists, and the French dare not act alone.

In case the Germans suddenly broke out, the current German war potential is still not much smaller than that of the French. If both sides are injured in a fight, wouldn't the French be a tragedy?

Now they are barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes. The Germans clearly believe that the French dare not do it alone, or they have full confidence in the British and think that the British Empire will prevent the French from occupying Germany!

"Since everyone is against the issue of reducing compensation, let's start with a long-term plan.

Now let's talk about the fact that the Germans are now in arrears with the 1924 war reparations (note: war reparations are paid at the beginning of the year, or at the end of the previous year).

Everyone knows whether the Germans have money in their hands. It is definitely unrealistic to ask them to pay the war reparations immediately.

So have you considered letting the Germans repay in other ways?

For example: We provide raw materials, let the Germans process products for us, and let the Germans pay war reparations through labor! "Gray decisively changed the subject.

This is an alternative plan put forward by the London government. Since Ferdinand lit 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 relocating factories, many capitalists made a fortune outside.

These people have become loyal supporters of this idea, and they shouted slogans such as: "Let all British people become managers!", "Eradicate poverty from..."

Anyway, it is to announce to everyone the superiority of deindustrialization. How could Ferdinand not know about this situation?

Just de-industrialized, there are still a few years of dividends to enjoy, but an economic crisis must not erupt. Otherwise, you will find that without the real economy as the backbone, the virtual economy has no ability to resist risks at all in an economic crisis!

"It's a good idea, but it's a pity that it's not suitable for Bulgaria. We are too far away from the Germans, and the high transportation costs are enough to exhaust our bonus!" Megev said disappointedly

In fact, his heart is already full of joy. The British have already jumped into the pit. Even if they can't be buried, they can be seriously injured!

Germany and Italy have transferred a large amount of industry to these two countries. Only the British know what kind of medicine is sold in their gourds.

Anyway, the more the British invest now, the less they can let go in the future. In the face of interests, people are always prone to overheating.

"This plan can be considered, but the German wage standard must be determined by us, and the location of the factory must also be decided by us. The German government must cooperate with us unconditionally and must not levy any taxes!" Alexander Millerand He said three "musts" in one breath.

Apparently, the French also jumped into the pit themselves. The real estate that was originally intended to cheat the British was also brought to France by the capitalists, and the problem of employment for the people was solved.

It doesn't matter to the government whether these factories are located at home or abroad. No matter what hidden dangers there are, they will not explode in the short term.

For politicians, they only need to avoid problems during their term of office and keep the economy prosperous and developing!

...

In the end, the General Assembly made a decision to let the German government establish a huge foundry to produce industrial products exclusively 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 reparations to countries.

History has once again entered a new page. Both Germany and Italy have embarked on the road of labor repaying loans, while Britain and France have gone further and further on the road of deindustrialization.
