Chapter One Hundred and Six: My Bavaria! (b)

Yes, take control of Bavaria, that's what Litchie wants to do!

In addition to wanting to control Bavaria, Leach also planned to gain control of Saxony or Baden-Württemberg, at least the two original kingdoms, and become a "pole" in the south of Germany, so that he could wrestle with the Prussian elite in the future.

It will probably be 5 to 8 years, and Lu Qi intends to use this time to achieve his goal, so it is extremely important to face the first opportunity.

At present, Li Qi controls 12% of Bavaria's cities (including towns), and he also controls 7% and 3% of Baden-Württemberg and Saxony respectively, which is a very good starting point.

On November 5, 1918, representatives of the new German government officially signed the instrument of surrender in a carriage in the Compiègne Forest. It was a defeat signed by the Entente powers, but it was a deception that was only shown in the following year or two, and it was not the first to show its fangs.

Richie was stunned when he learned that it had been signed on Nov. 5 instead of Nov. 11, knowing that history had changed again.

The news of the signing of the surrender and defeat was transmitted back to China, and the whole territory of Germany fell into a state of silence for a while. What kind of peace treaty did the new government led by Albert sign with the Entente countries, but the government blocked the contents of the peace treaty.

As soon as the peace treaty was signed, Richie retreated from his forces in the city of Munich, only to leave a few men as wedges.

Not only did Litch withdraw from Munich, but also some other cities that he felt needed to be abandoned for the time being. Such an action was called a "stupid abandonment" by the armed forces of some Socialists.

On November 7, 1918, while in Regensburg, Litchie received a telegram from Berlin.

On the telegram was an order of dismissal, Germany no longer had air units, and Litchie was no longer the dispatch director of the German Air Force, and he no longer had the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Air Force.

Because Germany no longer had an air force, there were many people who lost their jobs, including the other two directors, Hugo. Schpeyler and William. Keitel.

Hu Ge. Schpeeler had long said that he would follow Richie in his career, and he sent a telegram to Richie that he would meet with Manfred. Feng. Richthofen, Alexander. Lehr ...... Nearly 30 people went to Regensburg to meet Rich.

William. Keitel, on the other hand, chose to seek transfer to the War Department, and the Air Ministry, who had the same opinion, was not a small number of staff, but it was clear that they would be in a difficult time, because the Wehrmacht would only retain 100,000 men, and the contents of the treaty would soon be leaked.

If Richie is not mistaken, the current strength of the German army is now more than 3 million, and then according to the peace agreement, only 100,000 troops can be saved, which means that at least 2.9 million people will be "unemployed" in an instant.

"The country is in turmoil, the Socialists instigate and lead the strikes, and now Germany is in a phase of industrial stagnation." Worthher. Funk is a modest figure, and he is one of the few people in Richie's team who has shown excellent talent for administration. "At least 2.9 million people are returning home from the front lines all at once, and they can't find a job at all when they return to their hometowns, which will inevitably flood society and exacerbate the chaos in society," he said. ”

There is no doubt that those veterans will inevitably become the ones who will further increase the social chaos, but it is not their fault for this outcome.

Li Qi knew very well what was going to happen next, and he asked a more important question: "Is the order of the areas under our control stabilized?" ”

Worthher. Funk hesitated for a moment but nodded, "Yes, Leader." The areas under our control are already entering a phase of stabilization, after all, no one is helping the people like we are, except for us. It's just that...... This has created a lot of problems and difficulties for us, and we need to find new sources of food, because waiting for the spread of the bread that we are still distributing will attract more people. ”

Relief bread has always been a welfare system in Western society, and even after the passage of the Hindenburg Act, the rationing system was still implemented, but it was reduced to a minimum.

The only ones who are still enforcing social welfare are the territories controlled by Richie, which is a means for him to buy people's hearts, shouting slogans and distributing bread at the same time, unlike some socialists who only shout slogans but cannot give benefits, and even shout slogans while exacerbating the chaos.

"The people of Germany are a very realistic group." "They can easily abandon anyone, just because their lives have deteriorated," Richie said unabashedly. We want their support, and there's no better way to be welcome than to do what works for them in a difficult situation. ”

It's a bit unpleasant, but it's true. If Litchie wants to control Bavaria, he can't just use force, because this is Central Europe, not Eastern Europe, not the Middle East, not the Far East, not Africa, and Central Europe, which is geographically very important!

In the complex environment of Central Europe, relying on violence alone will only lead to interference, and only in accordance with the new rules of the game that the Western world is about to play, that is, to play democracy, can we still stand firmly on the stage after coming to power.

"Rest assured, we will soon have access to the northeastern Bavarian region." Richie reassured Wasser. "As long as we have access to grain producing areas, everything is not a problem. ”

The southern part of Bavaria is a "pit", with its plateaus, Alps and forest meadows, but the north-east has been a grain producing area since 1870. It also happened to border southern Saxony, and Litch's troops in Saxony were placed in order to take control of that area in the future.

Of course, Rich's occupation by force was only a necessary part, and he needed to use force to sweep away the various socialist groups and armed forces in that area, stabilize the social order, and then take control of it through the legal process, and then start to carry out a further plan.

Worthher. Funk asked, "So...... Our agreement with the 'Farmers' Union'? ”

"It works." "Bavaria is a region where there are more farmers than workers, and if we want to get Bavaria, we must first win over the 'peasant union'." ”

Worthher. Funk understood, all preparations were purposeful, he looked at Li Qi who was thinking about something, and thought to himself: "It's really important to follow the right person!" ”
