954 Thirty Years of Hexi (Ten Thousand Rewards for the Brothers)
"How could you? Don't you see the sinister intentions of the Americans? "William III was amazed at Qin Zhiyuan's choice. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Americans really have bad intentions, don't think that the Americans put forward the "Dawes Plan" really to restore the German economy and repay the war reparations owed after World War I, the United States is looking for a sense of existence and ensuring the influence of the United States in Europe.
During and immediately after the World War, relations between Americans and Europeans also entered a honeymoon period. But as time passed, the British and French were stunned to find that the "justice" and "democracy" that the Americans talked about were all nonsense, and that the green dollar was the purpose of the Americans, and everything else was a routine.
Wilhelm III was not stupid, although Germany needed loans, but it did not need to borrow with such conditions as the "Dawes Plan", which was really unacceptable to Wilhelm III.
"It can be seen, but at the moment, there are not many options for you to choose from, not to mention, this 'Dawes Plan' is still a bit interesting, at least this plan provides Germany with the necessary funds to restore the economy." Qin Zhiyuan understands Americans much more deeply than William III, and it is precisely because of this that Qin Zhiyuan's choice is different from William III.
"You don't want this kind of money, in the words of you Chinese, this is called drinking to quench your thirst." William III disagreed with Qin Zhiyuan's words, and actually stumbled to quote a sentence in Chinese.
Lan Fang's influence is indeed expanding, and at present, Chinese is becoming the lingua franca all over the world, at least in Asia, and Chinese schools have also appeared in some countries with close relations with Lan Fang in Europe, such as France and Germany, where more and more people are learning Chinese.
William III is not just starting to learn Chinese, for example, royal heirs such as William III will receive a long cramming education at an early age to force them to have more knowledge and the ability to lead the country forward, and language is a necessary item. Perhaps the Chinese language was not very popular in Europe when William III was a child, but William III certainly knew something about the Chinese language, and now he is just picking it up and strengthening it again.
"Since you know Chinese, then you should know that there is such a saying, which makes people have to bow their heads under the eaves." Qin Zhiyuan was not surprised that William III could speak Chinese, Qin Zhiyuan also knew German, and it was normal for William III to speak Chinese.
"Some heads can't be lowered, and if you keep your head low, it will become a habit to lower it, and then you will never see the road ahead." William III instantly turned into a philosopher, and what he said was quite philosophical.
"You are just dead-eyed, think about it, if you don't accept this 'Dawes plan', what will Britain, France, and the United States think? Aren't you ready to repay the reparations-" When Qin Zhiyuan said this, William III's expression was a little excited.
"That was meant to be imposed on us, Germany was not defeated, we lost at the negotiating table." Wilhelm III thought the same as most Germans.
"Well, even if you lose at the negotiating table, then the Treaty of Versailles has your Germans' signature, and unless you are ready to tear up the Treaty of Versailles, you have to admit it, even if it makes you disgusting." Qin Zhiyuan is not polite, and he does not show mercy verbally because he has a good personal relationship with William III.
Tear up the Treaty of Versailles!
I guess William III really wanted to do this, if William III had lost his mind.
The "Treaty of Versailles" is an official text after the end of the world war, and all governments recognize it, including the German government at that time.
"I'm not ready to tear it up yet—" William III's face turned ugly.
Not yet - that is, William III will one day tear up the Treaty of Versailles.
This is also normal, the Americans only spent 800 million gold marks, and they wanted the Germans to pay 262 billion gold marks in reparations, which was unacceptable to anyone.
The Germans are now weak in strength, and can only fight with Britain, France, and the United States, and when Germany recovers its strength, Germany will definitely ask for more, which Foch had predicted five years ago.
"Since it is not possible now, then let Britain, France, and the United States maintain confidence in Germany, and if you really don't want to accept the 'Dawes Plan', then you can also put forward conditions, for example, the Americans' loans should be increased, from 800 million to 800 million, and for example, in the Ruhr area, you can ask the French to withdraw their troops from the Ruhr area, and in turn accept it as you Germany." The terms of the Dawes plan, if the Americans accept it, that's fine, Germany will get more benefits, if the Americans don't accept it, it doesn't matter, at least the responsibility is not on your side. "Qin Zhiyuan is still cunning and cunning, compared to Qin Zhiyuan, William III is really a good boy.
Not all good boys will be rewarded with candy, and William III is now bitter.
After listening to Qin Zhiyuan's words, William III's eyes lit up, but he was not completely enlightened: "Then what about the compensation?" If the Americans ask us to pay reparations according to the schedule set out in the 'Dawes Plan,' will we have to come up with billions every year? Then the revival of Germany would be far away. ”
The core of the "Dawes Plan" is to let the Germans begin to fulfill the duty of reparations, and it is increasing year by year, just like the "house slaves" with heavy mortgages in the 21st century.
By the time the Germans pay off their arrears, it is estimated that the gap in strength between Germany and Britain, France, and the United States has widened to an irreparable extent, and that Germany will be a second-rate country without the slightest competitiveness.
"Then pay for it, anyway, you have to pay back the gold marks, not the pound or the dollar, the Americans can control your tax department, but they can't control the German money printing machine-" Qin Zhiyuan can think about it, no money, how simple, print!
"You're crazy, it's going to destroy Germany's finances and it's going to hit the German government's credibility to rock bottom, no, no, no, I can't do that." William III's head shook like a rattle.
"Don't be stupid, the Americans are doing this to completely destroy German finance, even if you don't want the mark to be devalued, the devaluation is inevitable." Qin Zhiyuan saw through it and ruthlessly pierced William III's illusions.
The significance of finance to a country does not need to be emphasized, and the credibility of the government cannot be ignored, especially for the German people, if the German government loses credibility, then it means that the German government will lose the hearts of the people.
"God, sometimes I really want to go back to being the crown prince—" William III leaned back in his chair weakly, less weak than ever.
"We can't turn back time, we can only look forward." Qin Zhiyuan felt the same way.
"I really feel powerless now, and no matter what I do, the revival of Germany is far away, and there is no future in sight—there is no hope—" Wilhelm III muttered to himself as he closed his eyes in pain.
"At least you have one country, at least you have people in your country who are loyal to you, and that's hope." Qin Zhiyuan can't let William III despair, in Qin Zhiyuan's future plan, Germany is a very important part, even more important than France, Qin Zhiyuan wants to see a willem III full of fighting spirit.
"Yes, I have another country - at least better than when you first arrived in Europe - " Wilhelm III was not a fool, and whining was unavoidable, but if he had complained, he still had to move on: "Tell me, what would you do if you were to face Germany now and replace you in my place?" ”
It seems that William III has studied Qin Zhiyuan's way to make a fortune, and for the current Lan Fang, William III is also envious, jealous and hate-
The element of "hate" is estimated to be relatively small, and the emergence of an orchid in Asia is at least much more meaningful to Germany than Japan.
"Swap me for you? I will not hesitate to accept the 'Dawes Plan', of course, it must be on the premise of getting more benefits, first get the loan, as for the compensation part, that is a year later, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." Qin Zhiyuan did not hesitate, first seize the benefits that he could grasp.
William III waited for a long time, but he didn't hear Qin Zhiyuan's words, and then he was super depressed: "That's it? ”
"That's all!" Qin Zhiyuan replied simply.
"I don't know how you rule the country - you're a shit guy." William III was very dissatisfied, thinking that Qin Zhiyuan was perfunctory.
"That's right, I'm a shit guy - do you know about the Cairo Conference? Look at how the Americans do it, maybe that will give you some hints. Qin Zhiyuan does not deny the importance of luck, but opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and if the success of the successful is attributed to luck, it is just an excuse for the loser to be at ease.
"You mean- I'm going to be a little more shameless?" William III must have known the contents of the Cairo Agreement, and in front of Qin Zhiyuan, William III did not hide his contempt.
"Be more shameless!" Qin Zhiyuan is not shy about it.
What does it mean to be "shameless"?
As the king of a country, it is the greatest shame to be unable to lead the country forward and make the people live a good life!
History is written by the victors, as long as Lan Fang can remain strong, who would dare to accuse Lan Fang of shamelessness in front of Qin Zhiyuan?
That is, William III and Qin Zhiyuan had a good personal relationship, so William III would be outspoken.
"In other words, I'm going to accept the 'Dawes Plan,' get the loan that the Americans promised, and then -- eat it and don't admit it?" William III is a bit on the road.
"Of course, if you want to pay it back, I have no objection." Qin Zhiyuan can see its success.
Of course, Qin Zhiyuan will not object, and the current Germany also owes Lan Fang a lot of money.
