The sun never sets on the people. Soon after the investigation results came out, they began to loosen the bonds of the German army.
"General, the sun never sets on the Arms Control Commission of the Allied Powers. We will shorten the time of garrisoning troops in our country and strive to withdraw them all before 1923!"
Mainz has been paying close attention to the movements of the Sun Never Sets and Eagle Sauce, so he specifically told Himmler to report the latest information as soon as he has it.
"oh? Does this also include the Rhine DMZ?"
In the Treaty of Versailles, the Gauls requested the establishment of a military buffer zone between Hans and Gaul. German troops were not allowed to enter here. This area was called the Rhine Demilitarized Zone.
On the surface, it was called the Demilitarized Zone. Military zone, but in fact the German army is not allowed to set up defenses here. The French army itself is not affected at all. They sent troops to attack Hans several times before and passed through here, and up to now, there is still a considerable number of troops. The French army was stationed in the Rhine area and had not completely evacuated from here.
Mainz was not surprised by the reaction of the people who never set the sun. In fact, when the people never set the sun, they saw the Gauls eager to destroy Hans. After realizing their intention, they will definitely take this step. After all, they have been the troublemakers in Europe for hundreds of years, and they have a well-deserved reputation!
"It's not clear yet, but it should be included!"
The arms control committee of the coalition is only convened for the Allied Powers themselves, and only some core members of the Allied Powers can participate in such meetings, such as the three countries of Eagle Sauce, The Sun Never Sets, and Gaul, and some other small countries that make up the numbers. You are not eligible to participate!
"Oh, that's interesting. By the way, how did the Gauls react?"
Compared with the attitude of the people on which the sun never sets, Mainz is more concerned about the attitude of the Gauls, because the key to the success of his plan does not lie on the people, but on the Gauls. If Without the cooperation of the Gauls, Mainz would really have no confidence in realizing its plan!
"Haha, the attitude of the Gauls is very fierce and they strongly oppose early withdrawal.
Not only that, they still insist that we are secretly developing weapons such as tanks and aircraft at home, and they also say that we will investigate and monitor our enterprises across the country!
Himmler said with a sneer.
Like Mainz, Himmler had no favorable impression of the Gauls, especially when their hostility towards his motherland was so obvious.
It was even less likely that he would have any favorable impression.!
"Very good, go down and continue to keep close surveillance, but be careful not to expose our agents!
Mainz encouraged Himmler, and Himmler was excited and saluted respectfully:"Yes, General!""
The Gauls are so cooperative, which reassures Mainz.
If the Gauls have no objection to the proposal put forward by the Sun Never Sets, then maybe the Gauls will continue to wait and see for a while, but the Gauls The Lu people have a fierce attitude towards the proposal of the Sun Never Sets, which makes people doubt their will and determination to destroy Hans!
In short, it is absolutely impossible for the Sun Never Sets to sit back and watch the emergence of a hegemonic level on the European continent! The country, whether it is Gaul or Hans, they cannot take over. The more the Gauls want to suppress Hans, the more they will arouse the suspicion of the people who never set the sun, and the less they can let the Gauls The plan worked.
In this case, Hans, who was caught in the middle, could slowly gain some freedom from the two suspicions!
Mainz's prediction was accurate, after the Gauls clearly expressed their opposition. , Sun Bu Luo Ren continued to insist on the previous proposal.
Moreover, Sun Bu Luo Ren also stated that if the Gauls did not agree, they would unilaterally withdraw their troops and would also lift military restrictions on Germany.
This statement made the Gauls. They were a little stunned. They did not expect that the man who never sets the sun was serious. At this moment, if they continued to insist on their views, the man who never set the sun might act alone. In that case, the situation would be very unfavorable to the Gauls.!
Moreover, the situation in Gaul was not good at this time. Due to the shortage of young and middle-aged labor force after the war, a large number of factories and farms could not resume production. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of insufficient population, the Gauls began to try to obtain supplies from the colonies and other European countries. The country attracts immigrants.
Within two years from 1918 to 1920, approximately 1.
2 million immigrants from various countries entered Gaul.
The arrival of these immigrants immediately caused social conflicts in Gaul against these foreigners.
The perpetrators, especially the black uncles from Africa, were very discriminatory and would even attack these people.
In just a few months, hundreds of such things happened, causing hundreds of casualties among the locals.
This attitude also caused resistance among the new immigrants.
Both blacks and Eastern European immigrants began to arm themselves and use force to fight against force.
This made Gaul's domestic problems very prominent.
The Gallic government lost a lot of blood in World War I.
In order to raise funds to fight the war, they borrowed a lot of money from foreign countries.
Both North and South America issued war bonds, and in order to attract investors to buy their bonds, they issued the proceeds from the bonds.
The interest rate is set relatively high.
Generally speaking, the interest rate of war bonds is set at 5%, which is very good.
However, in order to raise funds in a shorter period of time, the Gauls set the interest rate at more than 5%.
Around 6%, and even as much as 10%!
Therefore, just paying back the interest on these bonds makes them breathless every year, let alone paying back the principal!
The repayment period was in the two years from 190 to 1922. At this time, the French government was already preparing to repay the principal!
As the largest creditor of the Gauls, North America's Eagle Sauce has been urged several times in succession. In 1920, it was already Halfway through, the Gallic government has yet to repay the principal for this year, and even the interest has not been paid. This makes Eagle Sauce very dissatisfied. Many Eagle Sauce investors are worried that the Gauls will default on their debts, so they jointly submitted a letter to the White House. Petition to ask the White House to intervene!
Of course, it is impossible for the White House to negotiate directly like this. They only expressed their concerns and worries to the Gallic government, but this statement is enough to make the Gauls nervous!
It is precisely because of the various symptoms in Gaul that the Gauls only have a tough stance externally, but they do not have the capital to be tough to the end.
Therefore, faced with such a tough statement from the Man on whom the Sun Never Sets, the Gauls, although they were reluctant, had no way to object and had no choice but to agree to the Man on whom the Sun Never Sets.
Therefore, on July 17, 1920, after a vote within the Allied Powers, the proposal was approved with 7 votes in favor, 3 votes against, and 3 abstentions.
This treaty signed in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, is called the"Brussels Treaty" and because its content is the withdrawal of troops from the country of Hans, it is also called the"Germany Withdrawal Treaty".
The signing of this treaty marked the beginning of the loosening of the shackles on Hans, and the development of the German army began to usher in spring!
However, this did not mean the end of the crisis for Hans. Gaul, unwilling to accept defeat, began to require the Weimar Republic government to pay this year's war reparations in advance because of the serious domestic debt crisis.
In the Treaty of Versailles, 80% of the German war reparations had to be paid to the Gallic government, which meant that the Gallic government had an income of almost 100 million pounds a year.
For their current debt crisis, this money is like manna after a long drought, so Gaul's attitude is very tough. If they don't pay, they will rob!
In August 1920, after the Wei Republic clearly refused to pay war reparations in advance, the Gauls, together with the Belgians, officially marched into the Ruhr region!
The Ruhr crisis breaks out!
