Chapter 408: Dangerous Germany

Chapter 408: Dangerous Germany

Looking at all kinds of data, Roosevelt and Eisenhower couldn't help but sink their faces, they didn't expect the situation in Germany to become so bad!

Eisenhower said this for a reason.

The Treaty of Versailles stipulated in military matters that the German army should not exceed 100,000 men, including soldiers, officers and non-combatants.

resolutely abolish the German General Staff and abolish Germany's universal compulsory military service; Germany is forbidden to conduct any military training in academies and in shooting, sports and travel organizations.

Germany was forbidden to possess heavy artillery, tanks, submarines and military aircraft. Germany was allowed to have a naval fleet in the future, but only 6 pocket battleships, 6 light cruisers, and 12 reinforced mine-strike ships; The national navy must not exceed 15,000 people.

The provisions of the Treaty of Versailles concerning reparations were already well beyond Germany's ability to repay. One only has to look at the proportion of reparations due to the countries in Dawes's plan to understand why there was such a widespread and strong sense of national revenge in Germany.

In April 1921, the total amount of reparations was set at 132 billion gold marks, to be repaid over 30 years. If Germany violated the rules, the Allies could send troops to occupy the Ruhr area.

In fact, as early as 1928, Germany, which was overburdened by the economy, demanded a revision of the Dawes Plan, a redetermination of the total amount of reparations and the number of years of repayment, the abolition of foreign financial supervision, and the withdrawal of the garrisons in the Rhine area. On September 16 of the same year, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Japan and other countries formed a separate expert committee to discuss. In February of the following year, a committee of experts chaired by Younger, president of the United States Reserve Bank of New York, began drawing up a new compensation plan.

In January 1930, the Younger Plan was formally adopted at the Hague Conference. Germany was looking forward to it, but the expected outcome was still not optimistic: the plan determined that the total amount of German reparations would be 113.9 billion gold marks, to be paid in 59 years!

Among them, France's resolute opposition is the main reason for this outcome. It is no wonder that after Germany completely occupied France, it had to drag out of the museum the carriage that signed the "Treaty of Versailles" and force the French to sign it on it! When are you going to go to Germany?! ”

Tu Qianjun smiled and said in a deep voice to Roosevelt: "I will go over when the affairs of Manchuria are straightened out, and it will not be more than March at the latest!" ”

When Roosevelt heard Tu Qianjun say this, he couldn't help but smile and nodded. Then he smiled at Tu Qianjun and said, "I plan to participate in the general election this year......"

"I'll be in the U.S. on time to help you!" Before Roosevelt could finish speaking, Tu Qianjun said: "When the time comes, I will give you a big gift!" ”

The future president of the United States, Tu Qianjun added a sentence in his heart. And after adding this sentence, he couldn't help but look at Eisenhower, and looked at Eisenhower a little inexplicable.

You are also the future president of the United States, Tu Qianjun added in his heart with a smile. Of course, he wouldn't say that on the surface. But when he saw him, he said to Eisenhower in a deep voice: "Ike, are you willing to stay in Manchuria as an instructor?!" ”

Eisenhower was stunned when he heard this, and immediately wanted to refuse. But Tu Qianjun's next words made him fall into deep thought.

"No exercise, deduction, or confrontation is as important as actual combat!" But he saw Tu Qianjun say in a deep voice to Eisenhower, who was about to speak: "In Manchuria, I dare not guarantee anything else. But I can guarantee you that you'll definitely get the chance to fight. ”

"Of course, actual combat also means danger. But actual combat also means real combat experience and combat experience, which cannot be learned from textbooks or exercises. Trust me, even if you return to the United States, these practical experiences will become your lifelong treasure! ”

Tu Qianjun's words couldn't help but make Eisenhower fall into deep thought, and I have to say that there are not many soldiers in their group who can have actual combat experience. No matter how outstanding the exercise is, it is not as real as the experience in actual combat!

War is war, not exercise! It's not a deduction! On the ever-changing battlefield, all adaptability and actual combat ability will be tested most severely, and these are rare experiences as soldiers!

World War I was too far away from today, with a variety of weapons, including tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, and aircraft...... The use of such things has surpassed the period of the First World War, and if you still maintain the ideas of the First World War, it will kill people ()!

"Don't be so quick to answer me." Tu Qianjun smiled at Eisenhower and said, "You can go back and think about it, and ask General Pershing by the way." And then reply to me, anyway, now Drano will also stay in Manchuria for a while. You can have time to think. ”

Eisenhower smiled and nodded, and then Roosevelt and Tu Qianjun said some more details about this business event. Only then did he get up and leave Yan Zhengqing's small courtyard.

After sending Roosevelt away, Yan Zhengqing and his students sat down in the study. Looking at Tu Qianjun, who was talking eloquently in front of Roosevelt just now, Yan Zhengqing couldn't help but feel a little emotional!

When we first met, the boy was nothing more than a beard that had just come out of the mountains. But now?! He has a degree from the world-famous military academy West Point and has the respect of a governor in the United States! The hundreds of thousands of troops under his command have even held the entire three eastern provinces!

In a few years, the earth has changed! How many people in the world can care?! According to Tu Qianjun's development speed, Yan Zhengqing has no doubt that he will directly win the Central Plains! Or even become the leader of the whole country!

"Junzi, the matter here can be dealt with next month at most." Tu Qianjun nodded with a smile when he heard this, and then whispered to Yan Zhengqing: "Teacher, how are the trainees who have been transferred from the army to cadres trained?!" Can it be of great use?! ”

Yan Zhengqing nodded with a smile when he heard this, and then whispered to Tu Qianjun: "You don't have to worry about this, with the help of Lingge and Hanbo, the students won't have any big problems." And the two patrol teams you have developed are also very effective! I believe they don't dare to mess around! ”

Saying that, Yan Zhengqing paused and said solemnly to Tu Qianjun: "Those Japanese have been locked up for so long, what are you going to do?!" It's not a problem to keep it shut up like this......"

Yan Zhengqing's words made Tu Qianjun smile slightly, and then said softly: "I'm waiting, waiting for a more valuable opportunity for them to die......
