System Mall, this is a very important part of this war system.
The system in Mainz can not only enhance his personal abilities, but also purchase modern and future advanced weapons and various raw materials and supplies through the system.
These things are of great significance to Mainz and even Hans as a whole.
According to history, after World War I, the Allies imposed extremely severe restrictions on Hans in the Treaty of Versailles. Not only were the military industry severely restricted, but there were also many restrictions in other aspects. The loss of overseas colonies caused Hans to lose a lot of cheap products. The source of raw materials, huge war reparations have also completely emptied the entire country's finances and even led to high debts.
After World War I, the Hans' currency, the mark, depreciated significantly. The degree of this devaluation was unprecedented. During the post-war chaotic period, from 1918 to 1923, the mark devalued 100 billion times. In 1918 At that time, a box of matches only cost 0.02 marks, but by 1923, the price of matches had risen to 200 million marks, and the price of a piece of bread in 1923 was an eye-popping 1 trillion marks!
In terms of international currency exchange, in 1914, 1 US dollar could be exchanged for 4.2 marks, but by 1922, this number had become an exaggerated 420 billion marks!
This kind of inflation and currency devaluation is unprecedented in the entire history of the world. Even the subsequent establishment of legal currency by the Fruit Party and the currency devaluation of a certain black uncle in Africa may not be comparable to the chaos in the early days of the Weimar Republic.
During the entire five-year period of chaos, the social wealth accumulated by Hans for hundreds of years was looted, countless families went bankrupt, and a large number of unemployed workers lived on the streets, not to mention how many people starved to death.
Mainz has seen some reports in later generations. During this period, a large number of soldiers who were physically disabled due to the war lost the means to support their families after the war and could only go to the streets to beg. But at that time, the entire society Not many people can fill their stomachs. There are 60 million people across the country who are unemployed. How many of them rely on begging to feed themselves and their families?
Seeing the desperate eyes of those disabled soldiers who had devoted everything to their beloved motherland, Mainz felt a deep pain in his heart.
Now that he knows this dark history, Mainz will naturally do his best to avoid this happening. Without money to purchase supplies from the great powers, he has to find other ways to find other solutions.
Here, the first thing Mainz thought of was the red empire to the east.
Mao Xiong was still very weak at this time. During the Tsarist Russia period, Mao Xiong's industry was not developed, and its technical level was lagging behind the European average, let alone compared to Hans' industrial level.
However, Maozi is not completely useless. During its hundreds of years of expansion, Maozi has occupied a large amount of land, including the vast and fertile plains in Eastern Europe – the Great Plains of Eastern Europe!
This plain stretches from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the shores of the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea in the south, from the Ural Mountains in the east to the Baltic Sea in the west. With a total area of 4 million square kilometers, it is the second largest plain in the world and the largest plain usable by humans.
It is precisely because of the existence of this plain that Mao Xiong has been a major agricultural country since ancient times. Since the 18th century, Mao Xiong has been exporting cheap food to Europe to make money. At this time, the Red Empire was almost abandoned by the whole world. , traditional European countries, including Gaul, the Sun Never Sets, Benelux and even the three Nordic countries, have no favorable impressions of fur bears.
Not only did they provide a large amount of weapons to support Poland's attack on the bears, but they also adopted a policy of blockade and embargo on the bears, almost completely closing the trade channels with the bears.
Therefore, Mao Xiong is bound to have a large backlog of food in the country, but is extremely short of weapons, ammunition, various industrial products, and machinery and equipment.
On Hans' side, they have no shortage of industrial products and various types of machinery and equipment. However, due to their overpopulation and the loss of a large amount of territory after their defeat, their food supply is extremely difficult. At this time, the two can form a Perfect complement.
Hans's factory can provide arms to Mao Xiong in exchange for cheap Eastern European grain from Mao Xiong. If this transaction can succeed, it will be of great significance to Hans, and it can at least reduce the food and clothing problems of most families.
Mainz also knew very well that historically, after the Genoa Conference in 1922, the Soviet Union and Germany privately bypassed the Treaty of Versailles and launched secret cooperation.
However, the cooperation between the Weimar Republic and the Bears was very unsuccessful in history, because they not only sold weapons to the Bears, but also provided a full set of production lines and a large amount of advanced technology to the Bears. This made the Bears' technological progress rapid, especially Military technology, after Mao Xiong's first five-year plan, Mao Xiong successfully transformed from an agricultural country into an industrial country.
And it was from this time on that it became extremely difficult to conquer the furry bears by force!
Therefore, in Mainz's mind, it is okay to cooperate with fur bears, but they must pay attention to the sense of propriety, and they must not raise tigers to endanger themselves.
After all, fur bears are not comparable to other countries in Europe in terms of land area and population size.
The larger the population and the wider the land, the greater the potential for war.
There are currently three such enemies in the world, Yingjiang, Maoxiong and Tianchao.
China's industrial standards are too bad, so they are eliminated directly.
Within thirty years, the enemy that threatened Hans the most was not Britain and France, but the United States and the Soviet Union.
Because Eagle Sauce is thousands of miles away in North America, it has little direct interest conflict with European countries. However, the furry bears that are originally on the edge of Europe are the biggest threat to all European countries. Therefore, the furry bears will definitely become the first The enemy of the Three Reichs, and probably the biggest and most dangerous enemy!
