This group of young Germans, attracted by the war in the East, gathered around Wilhelm and listened to his story of Fengtian. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Hearing the highlights, people let out exclamations again and again.

Especially the girls were even more excited, and some of them even screamed.

How could the Germans accept the fact that they were a proud people, especially after the defeat in the First World War, and who were suffering great humiliation?

In Germany after the First World War, an entire generation suffered.

It is no wonder that they worship heroes, and in their hearts they also yearn for the emergence of heroes in Germany to save the Germanic peoples.

In the twenties and thirties of the twentieth century, the smoke of the First World War was long gone, and Germany was enveloped in a storm of almost hopeless sorrow.

Before people could shake off the frustration and humiliation of defeat, serious livelihood problems loomed.

Germany lost 10 percent of its population and nearly one-seventh of its land in the war in exchange for an annual reparation of 132 billion gold marks, equivalent to a quarter of the total value of German merchandise exports in 1921.

Germany could not come up with this money, so France, together with Belgium and Poland, unceremoniously occupied the Ruhr industrial area, the lifeblood of Germany's economy, for the "Ruhr crisis".

When you're in bad luck, you often don't think that one day it will be even more unlucky, so the scrambling German government has adopted the same old method of drinking water to quench its thirst: issuing more banknotes.

The real catastrophe began. With the printing press running at full speed, on January 31, 1921, the hyperinflation, unprecedented in the history of world finance, swooped down on the moribund German economy like a death with outstretched wings.

The dollar-to-mark ratio had collapsed from 1:64 in January 1921 to 1:4,200,000,000,000 in November 1923. Such an appalling degree that, even later, only Mexico in 1946 and China in 1949 could be compared (which, by the way, the Republic of China eventually held this leading record).

At this point, you can imagine everyday life in Germany.

The salary has to be paid on a daily basis, otherwise at the end of the month you will find that you will only have to buy bread crumbs for the money you would have paid for bread.

Before the salary is paid, everyone should move their legs and feet, prepare their starting position, and as soon as the money is in hand, they immediately show the passion and speed of the 100-meter sprint - rushing to the market and the grocery store. Those with slower legs and feet often find it difficult to buy enough necessities.

The production of agricultural and industrial products is shrinking sharply, there is a shortage of goods on the market, and the only thing that is not lacking is money, paper money!

Banknotes without purchasing power are like ** officials without fertility, making people sad when they think about it, and children are playing with them in large bundles on the street.

In 1923, the Daily Express published an anecdote about an elderly couple's golden wedding, and the city government sent a congratulatory letter informing them that they would receive a gift money in accordance with Prussian custom. The next day, the mayor came solemnly with a large entourage and solemnly presented them in the name of the state with 1,000,000,000,000,000 marks - or half a penny.

This is the true portrayal of Germany after the First World War.

Wilhelm tells a story that takes place in the East, but the hero-worshipping young generation of Germany resonates in his heart.

Not only the young men present were in a surging mood, but even the faces of the girls were flushed, showing their inner passion.

A girl with a fat baby face shouted even more exaggeratedly: "Oh my God, what kind of woman is that worthy of such a hero?" My heart is beating out......"

A girl next to her took over and replied, "Of course, the pearl of our Juncker family, the most beautiful Miss Sophie, only her beauty can be worthy of such a great hero." ”

"Oh, our Sophie is the most beautiful girl in Germany, and she will definitely be worthy of it."

There was indeed a quiet girl in the group, whose beauty was stunning.

Whether it's a delicate face, a proud figure, or an extraordinary temperament, it's enough to amaze anyone.

She was Sophie, her little face was crimson at this time, and her hands were clenched tightly, showing the excitement in her heart.

With a good upbringing, she had to restrain her emotions.

Try to be reserved, beautiful women love heroes since ancient times, and Sophie is no exception.

When Manstein saw the scene, he seemed to be a little out of control, raised his hand and waved it a few times, and said, "Sophie, don't listen to their nonsense, who knows if Feng Tian has a wife?" Besides, he's an Oriental, and you're a German girl, how can you be together. ”

Sophie, who has always been reserved, suddenly spoke up and said excitedly: "I have the right to love the Eastern God of War, even if he has a wife, I will marry him." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked, and the room was suddenly silent. No one expected this scene to happen, and it was the most beautiful little princess in their hearts, Sophie, who spoke.

As soon as Sophie's words came out, even she was stunned, so startled that she reached out to cover her mouth.

Just blurted out just now, she really didn't expect that she would say the words in her heart in front of everyone.

However, the words have already been spoken.

To Sophie's great embarrassment, this is very inconsistent with her usual behavior.

Sophie stomped her foot and ran out in a panic with her head down.

Yes, this is just an accident, and if Maninstein hadn't said this, maybe Sophie wouldn't have been thrilled and wouldn't have done anything amazing.

However, things in the world are so helpless, just because of Maninstein's words, the frequency burst out of sparks.

Maninstein's words just inspired Sophie's irrationality, and she said something that surprised even herself.

Manstein sighed and said, "Well, I hope Sophie doesn't take it seriously." ”

In the eyes of everyone, Sophie is a very quiet girl, well-read and elegant. Even, her mannerisms are the object of imitation by girls.

Sophie's performance today was beyond everyone's expectations.

However, no one took it seriously.

After all, a Western girl, an Eastern man whom she has never met, could not have become a reality with Sophie's willful words.

However, what everyone doesn't know is that once Sophie decides something, she will definitely make a desperate bet until it is done.

Sophie's words had already blurted out, and to Maninstein's surprise, Sophie would never give up.

If Sophie hadn't said this, it would have calmed down after a while.

However, if Sophie speaks, it must be realized.

So, Maninstein was still a little worried.

Of course, it's just worrying, a teenage girl, what can she do?
