Chapter 407: Geneva Conference on Disarmament
readx; In the economic crisis of the United States, Germany was naturally a target for slaughter, and the United States took advantage of the conditions of helping Germany to repay the reparations, and capital entered Germany on a large scale, and Germany was completely an American cow after the war.

Hitler's move to reading talent meant that Germany would be freed from the control of the United States.
For Germany to be strong, it must first get rid of the American debt and at the same time stop paying reparations, and at the same time the mustache Hitler had a strong political axe against France**.
He wanted to dominate Europe and expand enough space for national survival.
He was an extreme nationalist, and opening up Germany's living space was seen as a very important goal, but what made Hitler feel very depressed at this time was that Poland had joined the Third World Alliance, and the road to Germany's westward expansion was directly blocked by Poland.
However, beyond Poland, it is the Soviet Union and Russia, which also belongs to the Third World Alliance, and is a member of the Third World that is even more important than Poland.
It is a joke that Germany, which is weak at this time, wants to fight against the Third World Alliance, which has a standing force of more than 8 million, and the German army at this time is only 100,000. The difference in the strength of the two sides is more than 80 times.
Hitler was clearly aware of this, so he felt that Germany should maintain a certain degree of friendly relations with the Third World Alliance, and then gain hegemony in Europe and expand into Africa, the Balkans, and other regions.
Then wait for the opportunity to choose whether to join the Third World Alliance or to unite with the United States, just to see who can give Germany more benefits, Germany will unite with whomever it wants, and Hitler has great confidence in Germany's military strength. He believed that once Germany joined a certain camp, it would inevitably have a decisive surname that would affect the course of the war.
Hitler thought that this strategy was still very reliable, after all, he had always had a private correspondence with the Chinese Emperor, and at the same time received financial assistance from the Chinese Emperor, as long as Germany could make a little diplomatic move, it would be able to obtain raw materials and arms supplies from the Third World Alliance, so as to defeat the surrounding small countries first, and then kill Germany, or even Britain.
The United States will never again be able to jump into the ring as a referee like in the First World War, because the Third World League is the worst enemy of the United States at this time.
If the United States entered the war, Germany would have to fall directly to the Third World League.
Hitler's idea did have a certain viable surname, at least in the sense that it could be supported by the Third World Alliance in waging war, and it coincided with the plans of the Chinese Empire, which did not care too much about who Germany ended up towards.
Even the Chinese Empire did not want to unite with Germany.
If it is Russia, at this time the Russian economy was highly monopolized by the Chinese Empire, and it was already a half-crippled, and even after the war, there was no threat, after all, it was a comprador political axe.
As for Germany, it was different, and if Germany were allowed to exist after the war as a victorious power, it would become a new enemy of the Chinese Empire.
Therefore, the plan of the Chinese Empire is to stabilize Germany first, let Germany provoke a war in the Caucasian world, and let the Western World Alliance led by the United States be in chaos first, and then consider the rest later.
The Soviet Union was the first to be destroyed, and so was the Soviet Union.
Hitler's idea and the Chinese Empire were a perfect fit.
…… In 1934, the economy of the Chinese Empire began to improve in an all-round way, and the market economy began to enter the stage of formal recovery.
However, although the market economy has improved, it is still somewhat immortal, because the tax revenue of the political axe has increased a lot, one is the personal income tax for the surname, and the other is the seigniorage tax of the whole 'indiscriminate attack'.
Part of all the money collected was invested in national welfare, part in military technology research and development, and most in engineering construction.
At a time when the Chinese Empire was frantically building up its own war potential, the League of Nations threw out a 'ruling conference', which was held at the headquarters of the League of Nations, called Neiva.
China was also invited, and the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, Xia Jun, personally sent a delegation to the meeting.
The League of Nations invited the world's major military powers, Britain, the United States, France, the Soviet Union, Italy, Germany, China, Russia, and other countries to attend the meeting.
This is called the Neiva Disarmament Conference, also known as the Nine-Power Disarmament Conference.
At this disarmament conference, Britain proposed a disarmament programme that set out the strength of the armies of each country.
1.2 million in the United States, 1.2 million in China, and ...... in the United Kingdom The highest number of troops was 1.2 million, and at this time, the number of regular troops in the Chinese Empire was almost 4 million, and the number of production corps reached 3 million.
If this disarmament agreement were to be followed, the Chinese Empire would have to cut off 2.8 million regular troops, and even the production corps would have to be cut off.
After seeing the target proposed by the British, the delegation of the Chinese Empire directly proposed that it could not accept such a standard, and proposed a new standard, which is based on the population of each country, and each country will limit the army strength to 1.5% of the population.
According to the disarmament plan of the Chinese Empire, the Chinese Empire does not need to be disarmed, because the Chinese Empire already has a population of 615 million, and if the proportion is 1.5%, then the Standing Force of the Chinese Empire will be able to increase the standing strength to 9.22 million.
If such a standard is really followed, then Britain and the United States and other countries are equivalent to wearing a golden hoop, while the Chinese Empire is the same as no restrictions.
Britain and the United States and other countries immediately expressed their unacceptability, and the Chinese Empire did not talk much, and got up and left the meeting in the middle of the meeting.
After the withdrawal of the Chinese Empire, the Russian delegation also withdrew from the conference, and Germany also left on the pretext of leaving.
A disarmament conference became a joke and ended on the first day.
Britain's plan was a complete failure, and Britain itself intended to limit the development of land forces in various countries and give Britain more time to breathe.
At this time, Britain was still unwilling to be the world's dominant position gradually fading away, and wanted to use its residual power to make rules.
When a country formulates a rule, then the biggest beneficiary must be itself, and other countries must agree with its rule, and the future will be restricted and will suffer.
Naturally, the Chinese Empire will not live under the rules of other countries, so the Chinese Empire will not give any face to the disarmament agreement proposed by the British, as it has done before.
The meeting broke up after less than a day, and finally came to an end.
After the meeting, all countries set about strengthening their preparedness, and everyone knew that a more brutal war was inevitable.
At this time, the world situation is complicated, Britain and the United States are allies, but they are competitors, it is just a secret diplomatic stipulation of Britain, and it cannot conflict with the United States, but it does not mean that Britain does not want world hegemony.
The United States and China were the main competitors in the world at this time, and both countries had very strong economic and industrial strength, among which the Chinese Empire had become the world's largest industrial power and the world's largest economic power.
The United States is the world's second largest industrial country and the world's second largest industrial country, the Soviet Union is ranked third, and Germany, Britain, France, Russia, and Japan are ranked behind one after another.
Among them, Russia's industrial strength has developed very rapidly, but because the original foundation is too weak, the original Russian industrial areas are lost to the west of the Volga River, although some areas have been recovered, but they are far from being able to compare with the places occupied by the Soviet Union, Russia can quickly catch up, ranking ahead of the capital, which is all thanks to the strong support of the Chinese Empire, but more than 70% of Russia's factories are currently controlled by Chinese capital, and these 70% of the factories account for more than 90% of Russia's total industrial output value.
The United States and China have basically formed a competitive relationship.
The world needs a new hegemon, and if Britain cannot regain a firm hegemonic position, it will inevitably be replaced by either China or the United States.
Between China and the United States, only one will stand at the top in the future, and the other will be trampled into the mud.
Immediately after the failure of the Inner Vasa Disarmament Conference, Britain initiated the development of the arms industry.
Other countries have also increased their military spending in response to the inevitable brutal war.
The arms race began to intensify and began at a beginning in which no one could stop, and when one side could not support it, it would inevitably provoke a war.
Since the United States has also begun to recover its economy, and China's response plan is basically the same, the United States is also increasing the construction of military projects, and at the same time the United States has begun to expand its military.
The Chinese Empire, on the other hand, did not continue to expand its army, but began to upgrade its production corps to a regular army.
The production corps began to be equipped with the same military equipment as the field army, and the equipment of the previous production corps was not too advanced, and the reservists trained were only cannon fodder units that charged into battle.
After the equipment of the production corps is upgraded, it will receive more rigorous training, and the service period will be changed from two years to three years.
When the Chinese Empire was developing, all those who enlisted in the army at this time were student soldiers, all of whom came out of schools, and these student soldiers received frequent military training in schools and were no strangers to firearms.
Many of the students are very good at marksmanship, which is practiced in school, and many students even go to the shooting range to shoot targets before the holidays.
At the same time, he is also proficient in fighting bayonets, and the school often organizes students to fight bayonets, which is regarded as a kind of exercise by the school.
The era of fighting bayonets has passed, but in some special cases, it is still necessary to fight bayonets. Asking students to fight bayonets, in addition to dealing with special situations that they may encounter when they go to war in the future, is mainly to develop their courage.
These student soldiers are all educated, and at the same time they can be selected to join the army, they have performed well in the military training of the school, so the existence of the production corps is meaningless.
Therefore, these three million production corps will be transformed into a field army by the Chinese Empire, and the strength of the field army will be expanded to the terrifying level of six million.
However, this strength is only 1% of the total population, which means that only one out of 100 people joins the army.
