Chapter 342: A seemingly unbreakable alliance
The sudden change in politics in Germany has taken the world by surprise.
The British, who had been tormented by the world war for a year and had lost a lot of blood, were afraid that the Germans would use this excuse to provoke another war against the British. Fortunately, the German government soon issued a statement, only condemning the British government's assassination of the head of another country, in addition to condemning or condemning, in addition to condemning or condemning, in addition to the biggest threat is to let the Atlantic fleet led by the Bismarck-class battleships go around the Atlantic twice for military deterrence, and after the situation in Germany subsides, it will return to the German mainland to rest, and then as time passes, the tense situation between Britain and Germany quickly calms down.
The British were taken aback, and the two naval powers, located on the east and west sides of the Pacific Ocean, were disappointed together.
The Americans are bitterly feeling that they have lost the opportunity to make another war profit. When the news of Hitler's assassination came, the stocks on New York's Wall Street were inflated for most of the day, but before the close of the evening (the German-American time difference was six small|excellent|excellent|small|say|more|new|most|fast|WWW.UUXS.CC||time), after the news that "the Führer was unharmed" came from Germany, the previous crazy surge fell a lot. In the following days, as the situation in Germany became clearer, the stocks that had risen wildly before basically fell back to their original positions.
The stock market is back to normal, but the American financial elite is now suffering from another problem: Germany's foreign debt.
Before the start of the European war in 1939, Germany owed the United States a foreign debt of $40 billion, and although Germany still repaid its interest and loans on time, as Germany made great strides to the left, especially the German government's frenzied confiscation of the assets of financial capitalists at home, and so on, the American bankers' worries about the Germans' defaults were getting worse day by day.
After June, under pressure from bankers in the United States, the US government demanded that the German government pay its debts early.
From the German invasion of Poland, Germany in a series of wars in Europe. By plundering the strategic reserves of various countries, the national gold reserves, it is really a hard vote, especially the gold of Norway and Poland, which really made Germany a small fortune. When the French were defeated, more than 2,000 tons of gold from the treasury were removed from the treasury ahead of schedule. The Germans did not grab this gold in France. Even Hannah and Lin Han, who knew history, all they could do was to ambush the submarine in advance for the purpose of the warship transporting gold based on "what history knows".
Due to the scattered transportation of gold by the French, Hannah and Lin Han tried their best to sink only one warship carrying more than 200 tons of gold, which was secretly salvaged after the war, but it was still far from enough to repay the huge sum of 40 billion dollars owed to the Americans. What's more, Hannah didn't really want to pay back the money in the first place.
As a result, when the Americans demanded early repayment of the loan, the German side pushed right and right, claiming that it would repay the Americans when the French "repaid" the money. After the end of World War I, although Germany borrowed more than $40 billion from the United States, about $20 billion was paid to the French in the form of war reparations. As a result, within a few years, I encountered this kind of "triangular debt" again.
Europe now. From Paris to Berlin to Moscow, red flags are being erected one by one. Look at a red Europe. In addition to scolding his mother in his heart, the US financial circles wanted to encourage the president to carry out "armed debt collection" against Germany, but the new President Wilkie, even if he knelt down and licked the financial circles and the military wage family, he was not crazy enough to use the strength of the whole country to challenge this new birth. From the eastern Atlantic to the western Pacific, the "red axis" spanning the entire Old World.
On October 5, 1941, the first anniversary of the signing of the Amsterdam Agreement, a grand military parade was held in Berlin, Germany.
On that day, including Su Nian in Ned, Central, Southern, French, and Bigian. The leaders of several newly born socialist countries gathered in Berlin on this day. The British and American governments watched with horror the ever-expanding red shadow looming over the Old World like a dark cloud. In order to embody the "harmony" of "communists without borders" and the so-called "big socialist family, one family," not only did the armed phalanx of the German army walk past the rostrum one by one, but the Soviets also sent a regiment of infantry plus 20 tanks and some artillery vehicles to participate in the parade.
Due to the long distance, the Chinese side only sent a battalion of 400 people to travel. At the military parade on the same day, the pilots of China, the Soviet Union, and Germany also flew their own domestic planes, lined up in formation, and flew over Berlin with colored smoke, in addition to commemorating the friendship of the three countries that fought together in the Chinese Liberation War, and also demonstrating to Britain and the United States, showing the "unbreakable" alliance between the three countries.
Whether this alliance with each other's ghosts is really unbreakable, the three families actually have countless hearts, but the heads of the three countries are unwilling to repeat the tragedy in history at this time, and they are "smiling" and "talking kindly" with each other, but when they sleep, they are vigilant with one eye open to each other.
Through the military parade ceremony, the Germans, who are good at disguised as an army power, successfully put on this "big tiger skin" and bluffed the Americans with bad intentions, and they had no choice but to stop thinking about Europe reaching out to stir up trouble, and they could only quietly wait for the emergence of new changes in the world.
Americans still have the patience to wait, but some countries can't wait any longer.
The first people who couldn't help it were not the Japanese who drooled as they watched the Asian colonies, but the British, who were forced to sign the Anglo-American Washington Accord, which humiliated the country.
It has been a year since the Anglo-German armistice, and with the release of a large number of captured British prisoners of war, the new naval ships have been put into service one after another, the security of the British mainland has been "improved", and the direction of industrial production in Britain has gradually shifted from wartime production to peaceful production.
However, because of the Anglo-American Washington Accord, Britain was forced to fully open its domestic and colonial markets to the United States. After the end of the war last year, the British Empire, which suffered extremely heavy losses, urgently needed to suck blood from its colonies to replenish its vitality. And then a piece of paper "Anglo-American Washington Agreement" seems to have forced a stone in their throat, not to mention how painful it is.
Seeing the proliferation of American goods in various colonies, the British capitalists cursed their mothers in their hearts, and even more frantically cursed the traitorous behavior of the British traitor Churchill. Within the British government, calls for the closure of the colonial markets and the abolition of the Washington Accords were also growing.
