Faced with the joint intervention of the two powerful countries, Eagle Sauce and the Sun Never Sets, the Gauls had to accept the result even if they were not convinced.
On September 5, representatives from the three countries held a formal meeting in the Iron Tower City and discussed the issue of handling Germany and the withdrawal of the French army.
This meeting was not open to the public, so the outside world did not know what the three countries discussed during the meeting.
However, after the two-day meeting, the Gauls announced their withdrawal from Hans. This withdrawal included not only the withdrawal from southern Hans, but also the withdrawal from the Ruhr Industrial Area.
Just after the Gauls announced their withdrawal, the two countries issued a joint statement.
After discussions, the two governments agreed that in order to stabilize the domestic situation in the Weimar Republic and ensure that the government would not be subverted, the Allies needed to make amendments to the 1919 Treaty of Versailles.
The main content of the amendment is aimed at the Weimar Republic's post-war reparations. In the 1919 treaty, the Weimar Republic's war reparations figure was very huge, and this huge figure has completely exceeded the Weimar Republic's The ability to repay, if they are really allowed to pay compensation according to this amount, then the Weimar Republic will probably be overthrown soon.
Therefore, the two countries believe that 80% of the war reparations should be deducted on the basis of 1919, and the request to the Weimar Republic government to implement reparations should be suspended within five years to help the Weimar Republic stabilize the domestic economy as soon as possible. , to reduce large-scale unemployment and worker unrest and even uprisings in the country as soon as possible.
The two countries believe that only after the Weimar Republic has rectified the domestic situation in Hans and put the economy on the right track can the financial revenue of Hans be increased, and only then will there be enough funds to repay war compensation.
If the Weimar Republic's economic problems are not solved and their fiscal revenue is not increased, then the Gauls' behavior of forcing Hans to pay war compensation, and directly sending troops to invade Hans if Hans cannot pay it, is very risky. May be repeated!
Of course, in addition to the issue of reparations, the joint statement between the two countries also involves military issues.
The two countries believe that in view of the frequent workers' uprisings in Hans and the danger of regional rebellions, in order to maintain the rule of the Weimar Republic and combat the increasingly rampant red uprisings, the number of German troops should be relaxed to 200,000 to 50,000. Only the number of German troops Sufficient troops can strengthen the German army's ability to respond to emergencies.
In addition to these measures, Eagle Sauce also unilaterally announced that they will provide Hans with low-interest loans worth US$2.5 billion within the next ten years to help Hans recover the economy that was damaged by the war.
This joint statement by the United Kingdom and the United States immediately attracted global attention as soon as it was announced!
In addition to the Gauls who were furious, all countries in the world, including Hans, were shocked!
"Tell me, what are Britain and the United States trying to do? Do we need to accept their goodwill?"
The capital of the Weimar Republic, Berlin City.
After learning the news, President Hindenburg immediately convened an emergency internal high-level meeting to discuss the matter.
To be honest, this joint statement between Britain and the United States is really It was so strange, so strange that even Hans, the biggest beneficiary, found it baffling and couldn't believe it!
"Mr. President, I think I should accept and welcome the joint statement between the two countries, because it means a lot to us!"
General Groener, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet who is a soldier, is not particularly familiar with politics, so he still looks at the problem from the simple perspective of a soldier. He does not have as many tricks as politicians!
Foreign Education Minister Strzerleman despises I glanced at Prime Minister Groner and felt very contempt for this prime minister who had no ability but held a high position.
"Mr. President, I think Britain and the United States want to support us against Gaul!"
As the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Strzerlemann naturally knows much more about diplomatic matters than Groner, so he can immediately see the intentions behind the statement by the United Kingdom and the United States.
Neither country wants to see Gao Gao The Lu people were in power and wanted to stop the actions of the Gauls, but they were unwilling to end their actions personally, so they relaxed the restrictions on the Weimar Republic so that the Weimar Republic could gain the strength to confront the Gauls and prevent the Gaul from doing so. The Lu people are expanding eastward!
"Well, it does seem to have such an intention!"
President Hindenburg nodded slightly, approving of Strzereman's judgment.
However, if what Strzereman said is true, then this means that Britain and the United States regard Hans as a pawn in their hands.
No one wants to be someone else's pawn, especially a country that aspires to become a world power. However
, the situation is stronger than the people. In order to develop better and get rid of the shackles as soon as possible, the empire can only temporarily compromise!
Thinking of this, President Hindenburg made up his mind
"Tell Britain and the United States that we support and are willing to accept the goodwill of the two countries and agree to a ceasefire with the French army!"
This decision was quickly sent to the front line and the hands of the United Kingdom and the United States by telegram.
The front line of the Ruhr Industrial Zone, German Army Headquarters.
Seeing Bolin's ceasefire order, Mainz breathed a sigh of relief!
The war was finally over. It's over! If the fight continues, the Germans have no chance of winning. Their troops are still too small!
Moreover, Mainz does not want to fight the French army at all, because the area where the two sides are fighting is the Ruhr Industry, the core area of Hans. In the area, every time a shell explodes here, it will weaken the national strength of Hans. If the two sides fight with blood and corpses everywhere, then the Ruhr Business District, the most important area of Hans, will only I'm afraid it will be turned into ashes!
The Second Empire and Prussia worked so hard and spent so much time to build such a heavy industrial zone. If it happened because of a conflict with the Gauls, If you destroy this place, even if you kill one million or even five million Gauls, Mainz will feel that it is a loss!
Modern war depends on a country's national strength, and among national strength, industry The proportion is huge, which is basically equivalent to the potential of war.
It is too easy for an industrial power to defeat a country without industry. Even if there is a gap in the size of the two sides, it can completely make up for it with industrial strength. The best example of this gap is the war between China and Ziba!
Ziba's land area is only one-third of China's, and its population is only one-eighth of China's. However, China was unable to fight back on the battlefield.!
The fundamental reason for this phenomenon is: Footbath is an industrial country, while China is just an agricultural country without industry!
The Ruhr Industrial Zone accounts for more than half of Hans's heavy industry. If it is destroyed, Hans will pay a huge price. It will take a long time to rebuild this place. This price is too heavy and will completely disrupt Mainz's plan, so he absolutely cannot accept it!
But seeing the current result, Mainz is finally relieved!
The Ruhr crisis was a huge test for Hans, but it was also a huge opportunity.
And now it seems that Mainz's gamble has been successful. The Gauls returned in defeat, and it is basically impossible to do so again. A step into Hans's country!
And Hans relied on this crisis to successfully break away from most of the chains that were bound to him by the Treaty of Versailles!
Without the heavy war reparations and strict military restrictions, the empire was rebuilt. Work is bound to be much faster than in history!
Perhaps, the Third Reich will return without waiting until 1933.
