In the last fifteen days, every member of the German delegation went to Paris and Versailles to consult the draft peace treaty, and at the same time submitted a written application to the Armistice Commission for a reduction in the severity of the punishment, and to the extent that every article of the draft peace treaty was contested.

Hitler also visited the mayor of Paris, the French Field Marshal Fauchy, the commander of the American Expeditionary Force Pershing and others, but they all had little effect, and he also wrote letters to British Prime Minister George and US President Wilson, explaining that a weak Germany is not good for Britain and the United States, and that France will become the hegemon of Europe, and at the same time, the harsh content of the treaty will cause domestic political turmoil in Germany, and it is very easy for the Bolsheviks to take advantage of the opportunity to make Germany a red empire and a bridgehead for the red empire to sweep the world.

In order to prevent the rise of Soviet power, Western countries have now sent large numbers of troops into Russia to participate in the Russian civil war.

More than a month ago, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, once an Allied Empire, established the Hungarian Soviet Republic, the first communist regime to be established in Europe since the October Revolution in Russia.

The reason why the Hungarian Soviet Republic was established was not because in March the representatives of the Entente issued an ultimatum to the Hungarian government, demanding that Hungary cede about 20,000 square kilometers of territory and give the Entente troops the right to pass through Hungary.

This humiliating treaty forced the Hungarian leadership to resign, and the revolutionary mood of the people was high, with strong demands to "follow the path of the Russians." The Hungarian Communist Party and the Social Democratic Party jointly seized power and proclaimed the Hungarian Soviet Republic.

The new policy of confiscating all the money of the capitalists and nationalizing all the factories and railways in the Hungarian Soviet Republic made the West even more frightened, because the governments of the Western countries were mainly capitalists, and if all capital was nationalized, wouldn't these capitalists become commoners overnight?

Will the Germans become the next Hungarian Soviet Republic?

This is something that all capitalists and Entente leaders need to think about.

Hitler mentioned in his letter that too many harsh treaties would inevitably cause domestic political turmoil, and only lenient punishment would make the Germans accept it willingly, so that no revolutionary events would occur, and this move would be conducive to peace and common development on the European continent.

Hitler did not write a letter to the French leaders, because he knew that it was useless to write a letter, Germany and France were feuds, for the sake of European hegemony, the French simply wanted to kill Germany, the more miserable the Germans, the better, as long as Germany collapsed, which other country in Europe would be France's opponent?

West tooth extraction? Spain is not good, Spain is too polarized, the people are extremely dissatisfied, there are too many landlords, military, religious factions, and too many social problems.

Briton? The British are just a paper tiger, and their army has not been good since the Anglo-Boer War, only the navy is powerful, and the French are naturally not afraid.

As for Italy, Italy has never been strong since the Roman Empire, and now Italy has the least industrial output among the world's first-class powers, less than Japan and Austria-Hungary.

Therefore, as long as Germany can never stand up, the French will dominate the European continent and have exclusive economic resources on the European continent. All the countries of the European continent have to act according to the face of the French.

But on the other hand, for the British, the long-standing policy of balancing the European continent makes him not want to see the rise of the French, and if the French rise, then who in these European countries will listen to him.

So, Britain did not want the Germans to fall, but was "barely" able to stand up to the French.

The Americans also don't want to see the French dominate the European continent, the Americans want to open the door so that the American commodity fleet can freely enter Europe, and the French dominate Europe, then the European policy will be customized by France in the future, and if the French want the Americans to get out, the Americans have to get out obediently.

Hitler understood the minds of these three countries, so every time he wrote a letter, he would show from various fields that the content of the peace treaty was too harsh, that the country's economy would collapse, and that the Germans would never be able to get up again, and would forever become a small regional country.

According to the terms of the peace treaty, Germany would have become a small regional country, and imagine that a country's army of 100,000 people would not even be enough to defend, and it would be less than the troops of the small countries of Mexico, Portugal, and Norway.

How can such a country compete with the French, who have millions of troops?

However, even though Hitler thought that his letters were relatively well written, they were all lost in the end and there was no news.

At the same time, the content of the Treaty of Versailles reached Germany, and the country was immediately indignant, and there were numerous strikes and demonstrations.

The cession of almost one-thirteenth of the territory and one-twelfth of the population means that the living space of the country is even more insufficient, which means that almost one out of every ten compatriots will become a "foreigner".

For example, Richthofen, the ace of air combat and the national hero, was a native of the city of Breslau in Upper Silesia, but now this region is to be ceded to Poland, where is Hitthofen German or Polish?

For example, the former chief of the General Staff, Ludendorff, is a native of Posen Province, but Posen Province will also be ceded to Poland, so is Ludendorff a German or a Pole?

These two people are just examples, there are many social elites like them, and the hometowns of these social elites are actually about to be ceded out, can this not make people angry?

The Treaty of Versailles was a shocking blow to the Germans, who were still indulging in illusions in the last quarter of an hour, and the angry masses rallied to protest against the peace treaty and demand that the German government refuse to sign it. The German Provisional Government also openly claimed that the terms of the peace treaty were "unattainable and unaffordable," and German Chancellor Sherman even denounced the "Versailles Treaty" as a "terrible and murderous magic hammer," and he cursed loudly: Whoever signs this treaty will have his hands rotten.

But the reality is cruel, the Entente wants to fight, it is better to rush directly to the territory of Germany to occupy it militarily, anyway, Germany is no longer able to fight, the Entente still has millions of reserve troops, Germany only has a reserve army of more than 100,000 people, such an objective fact makes all Germans discouraged.

Fifteen days were fast to pass, and if the German delegates did not sign it, the Germans would reject the peace treaty, and war would break out again.

German Chancellor Sherman announced his resignation, new Chancellor Gustav Bauer came to power, the German parliament held a vote, and finally voted for the acceptance of the treaty by 237 votes to 138 votes, and the German government, accept the treaty!

With only 19 minutes to go before the deadline for the Entente's ultimatum, German Foreign Minister Hermann Müller entered the Palace of Versailles and signed the peace treaty.

The next day, all the newspapers in Germany invariably added a glaring black frame to the first page.

All Germans will remember this tragic day.

The world war ended, ending with the victory of the Entente and the defeat of the Central Powers, and each of the Central Powers signed a harsh peace treaty.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire was divided into nation-states, losing 75 percent of its territory, which was a huge loss.

Bulgaria lost its access to the Aegean Sea and paid $450 million in reparations.

Ottoman Turkey was completely partitioned, and the Middle East was occupied by Britain and France.

……………………

The signing of the peace treaty was only the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Miller, and Hitler and the entire convoy waited outside the Palace of Versailles, and after the signing of the peace treaty, everyone returned to Paris without saying a word.

There was silence all the way, as if something was blocking Hitler's heart, he saw Rommel walking beside him, and asked, "Can you ride a horse?" ”

Rommel said: "I studied in the military school. ”

As if to calm the stuffy breath in his chest, Hitler shouted: "Come with me on horseback." ”

The fifty soldiers of the Escort Regiment would all ride horses, and they all followed Hitler to a horse farm outside Paris.

Throwing a thousand francs directly to the owner of the horse farm and taking more than fifty horses, Hitler gasped and said, "Let me run." ”

After saying that, he rode his horse and whipped his whip and galloped along the road. More than 50 horses galloped together, flying sand and dust, which was extremely spectacular.

"Wow......"

After coming to Paris for so long, the soldiers of the escort regiment were also depressed, and it was extremely refreshing for them to finally be able to ride horses freely.

Horseback riding is not allowed in the city of Paris, so they ride along the city, and the law prohibits trampling on crops, so they only walk on the road, and there are no traffic laws at this time, and it is not said that foreigners are not allowed to ride horses on the road.

"Oh, look, what a battle...... "A French farmer weeding saw the horses.

"It's German, it's a German uniform." A young man exclaimed.

"Did the Germans come to Paris?" A woman hurriedly packed up her things and hurried home.

"Maybe there is an armistice, and negotiations are still underway, but maybe the Germans will suddenly attack and hit Paris all at once." A middle-aged man hurriedly ran to the police station.

The behavior of the escort group caused the surprise of many citizens outside Paris, and even the citizens in Paris were a little panicked when they heard the news, and some people really thought that the Germans had come to Paris.
