The twenties had arrived, and it was definitely not an easy decade for Germany, which had begun to taste the oppression of unequal treaties. In March 1920, just after the twenties, a shocking military coup d'état took place in Germany - the Karp-Lütwitz coup. The coup d'état was carried out by the Reichstag Karp and the commander of the Berlin garrison, General Lütwitz, after the Weimar Republic's Minister of Defense Nosk began to reduce the number of troops under the Treaty of Versailles. Disarmament fell to the Erhardt Brigade controlled by Lütwitz, who ordered his troops to march into Berlin, drove out President Albert and Chancellor Powell, and appointed Congressman Dr. Karp to form a national government.

And what is even more shocking than this coup is the process of crushing the coup. Chief of the General Staff of the German Wehrmacht Hans. Feng. Admiral Seckert actually told the Minister of Defense of Nosk before the coup d'état (when the Erhardt brigade entered Berlin, but did not drive away the president and the chancellor): the Germans do not fight the Germans!

That is, the General Staff will not obey the orders of the Hattori and mobilize troops to suppress the Erhart brigade. But the coup d'état failed in the end, not because of the German army's change, but because the Social Democrats launched a general strike in Berlin! The German army, fearing that the general strike in Berlin would turn into a nationwide ****, and finally let the Bolsheviks benefit, had no choice but to retreat. Troops from all over the country expressed their support for the government of the Weimar Republic, and Karp and Lüttwitz were disbanded after only four days. Karp and Lütwitz both fled to the ...... of the Polo

"Count, you're right again...... I really did not expect that after the bloodshed of January, the workers of Berlin would still support the Social Democrats. ”

In the office of the Chief of the General Staff, Admiral Seckert spoke in a somewhat depressed tone when he mentioned the failure of the Karp coup, and he was clearly in favor of the coup. Admiral Seckert was a staunch royalist, almost the same as General Lütwitz's. After the failed coup d'état, he also ordered Hersmann to arrange for Karp and Lütwitz to flee to Polo. Hersmann, on the other hand, personally escorted the two to Riga, where they had just returned to Berlin.

"Your Excellency, the workers have been bought off by short-term interests, and the Right Pai Workers' Party is at present very weak enough to contend with the Social Democrats."

If the Karp-Lüttwitz coup had broken out in June 1919, it would have been possible to succeed temporarily – until the Allies intervened! But this coup d'état took place in March 1920, and this was the main reason for the failure.

After the Entente lifted the blockade of Germany, the Social Democrats, regardless of their financial affordability, began to hand out red envelopes. With only 61 percent of German industrial production in 1913 and having to pay large war reparations, the printing press was turned on to support welfare expenses.

"Industrial production is still declining, tax revenues account for only 37 percent of expenditures, and domestic gold and silver are rapidly draining," says Hersman, as if he were talking about how long a terminally ill patient would survive. Therefore, the policies of the Social Democrats will not be successful in the long run, and then the power of the extreme right and the J-left will swell again. ”

Today's Germany is a bit of a "European pig state", with a shrinking economy, declining industrial production, high welfare spending, and alarming fiscal and recurrent account deficits (due to reparations).

"Oh, so where is the way out?" Seckert asked.

"The army and the J-right workers' party will rule together, restore National Socialism, expand the armament war, tear up the Treaty of Versailles, and then start a world war." Hesman paused, and then said, "Or the J Left Workers' Party comes to power, implements the proletariat ****, unites with Soviet Russia, expands armaments and wars, tears up the Treaty of Versailles, and launches a world revolution......"

The Treaty of Versailles had to be torn up, either left or right, because it was impossible for Germany to pay off the reparations. Tens of thousands of tons of gold did not exist - the Entente imposed an impossible task on Germany! It was the age of the gold standard, and the era of free trade was far from coming, so it was impossible for Germany to export large quantities to the Entente in exchange for hard currency.

There is only one possible option - World War II! Or by the Nazis, or by the Bolsheviks!

"The right workers' party, tear up the Treaty of Versailles, and ...... world war," Admiral Seckert shook his head gloomily, "Ludwig, you know what the consequences will be if such a party comes to power at the moment. ”

Germany was not ready to fight a new world war, and if the Treaty of Versailles were tore up now, the consequences would be catastrophic.

"Not now, Admiral." "At the moment several J-Right workers' parties are very weak, but they will grow rapidly in the economic crisis in the future," Hersman said. ”

"The economic crisis ahead? When will it happen? ”

"After May 1, 1921," Hersman said, "intelligence shows that the final amount of reparations will certainly exceed 200 billion gold marks!" ”

"200 billion?" Hersman snorted, "It's not enough to give them all the world's gold!" ”

"Actually, they don't want gold at all, what the French want is to occupy the Rhine forever!" "But they're not going to make it." ”

"Yes, Britain will not agree!" Feng. Seckert said.

Relations between Britain and Germany were détente, as the French appeared too strong on the continent, as a result of the Great Polish Confederation and the Hungarian War.

Hersmann's rescue of a Russian empress resulted in a disadvantage for the Russian Bolsheviks in the first half of 1919, with the White Army under control and the Red Army deploying large numbers of troops in Petrograd, resulting in the victory of Denikin's White Army in the lower Don and left-bank Ukrainian campaigns - but now the tide had turned, as the Bolsheviks ceded right-bank Ukraine in exchange for a rapprochement with Poland, allowing them to concentrate their forces. So in September and October 1919, the Red Army inflicted heavy losses on Denikin's army near Moscow, and then defeated Yudenich near Petrograd.

And the beneficiary of this chain of events is undoubtedly the Poles. A Greater Polish Commonwealth encompassing Poland, Galicia, Right-Bank Ukraine, Lithuania, and Western Belarus was born in 1919. And Poland is France's most hardcore ally.

At the same time, Hersmann and Lenin's collusion in support of the Hungarian revolution ostensibly strengthened France. Although the French army had not yet destroyed the Hungarian Bolsheviks, it had advanced into Romania and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. A "Balkan coalition" was also formed, ready to attack Hungary together.

A Greater Poland, a Balkan coalition, and judging by the map, the French are almost going to dominate Europe. Of course, the British-stirring stick will pull Germany a little. Not only did they lean toward Germany in the Entente's arms control committees and reparations commissions, but they were also prepared to recognize the Baltic Republics, which were actually controlled by the Germans.

"And Soviet Russia can also be relied on!" "Admiral," said Hersmann, "I met with Lenin's deputy, Mrs. Kollentai, in Riga, and he invited me to visit Russia at my convenience, in the name of a representative of the German army. ”

"What are you discussing?"

"Discuss the problems of the Polish war and the problems of military-industrial cooperation."

"Oh, they must think that they will win in right-bank Ukraine, right?" When Seckert spoke of Poland, his tone and expression were cold. "The recent situation seems to be in favor of the Russians, but it may not be easy to win in the end."

"Yes, so they want to buy some of our advanced weapons."

The resumption of fighting between the Soviet Union and Poland took place in April 1920, but unlike in history, the fighting was mainly fought in right-bank Ukraine.

Because in the previous Soviet-Polish peace, right-bank Ukraine was ceded to Poland. So Poland has been ruling right-bank Ukraine for more than half a year, which is enough for the Poles to install the government of the Ukrainian Autonomous State headed by Petliura. And a relatively consolidated rule was established, and a Ukrainian defense army was formed.

But the operations from April to the present seem to be more favorable to the Red Army.
