Chapter 339: Good eyes. The treaty was signed at a time when Germany had already won the victory on the Eastern Front and the German army was still in France and Belgium on the Western Front. Tu Qianjun said lightly to Roosevelt: "Mr. Roosevelt, do you think the Germans will stop because of this?!" ”

No way! Roosevelt thought to himself. In fact, then-U.S. President Thomas . Woodrow. Wilson was extremely opposed to the harsh treatment of Germany in the Treaty of Versailles, and even refused to sign the Treaty of Versailles and join the League of Nations.

Unfortunately, France's hardliners included then-French President Georges Murphy. Clemenceau, Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces, Ferdinand. Foch and other tough demands should severely punish Germany, and even French President Georges Murphy. Clemenceau also wanted a secret treaty to blockade the German coastline so that France could control Germany's import and export trade!

As soon as the war ended, the French army quickly took control of important cities in the Ruhr industrial area, such as Gelsenkirchen, which left a large number of residents homeless, and the French plundered the coal produced there and transported it to France by rail!

German railway workers organized strikes for this to counter the French occupiers, but the French apparently did not care about such protests. Even about 200 of them were directly executed by the French ** team.

These actions undoubtedly deepened the hatred between Germany and France, and if this seems to be the case, it seems understandable why the Germans had to drag the carriage of the Treaty of Versailles out of the museum after the occupation of France in World War II to force the French to sign the armistice again.

This was a very cruel revenge for the severe oppression of Germany by the French after the First World War.

If the economic situation has been good, then this hatred may slowly fade. But the post-war German economy was very fragile, and although only a small part of the amount of reparations stipulated in the treaty was paid, even this small part caused a huge burden on the German economy and led to almost 1/3 inflation!

In addition, the treaty stipulated that Germany should compensate for mineral resources and industrial equipment, and the part that could not be paid in cash aroused the discontent of the German people. As a result, this kind of hatred continues to grow and accumulate in the deep-rooted soil

I saw that the soldier gently filled Roosevelt's cup with tea, and whispered to Roosevelt with a smile: "Please tea!" ”

Roosevelt silently raised the teacup and drank the tea in the cup! He said in a deep voice to Junzi: "Tu, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly, I hope you can confess all your thoughts to me." ”

This couldn't help but make Roosevelt worried, after all, once something happened to Europe, the United States would definitely not be able to stay out of the world. The various economic exchanges and historical ties between the United States and Europe...... And so on, all kinds of involvement are doomed, the United States cannot stay out of the world!

If a war breaks out in Europe, it will inevitably lead to a full-scale war for the whole world! At that time, how will the United States stay out of the world?! If you stay out of the world, then the victorious Congress will let the United States go?!

The huge casualties of World War I led to the fact that isolationism had been prevalent in the United States since 1920, but Roosevelt knew that the end result of isolationism would be isolation!

Once a country is isolated, the consequences will be extremely serious! It may even lead to the demise of the state, and isolationism is naturally only a temporary policy in peacetime. Once it enters a state of global war, isolationism can only be self-defeating.

"Don't worry! It will take time for this to happen. Then he saw the soldier smile at Roosevelt and said, "Even in preparation for war, the Germans need time to organize their army and develop weapons." We can have time to prepare, and now it is important for us to continuously improve our weapons and equipment and strengthen the training of personnel. Otherwise, we will face great losses in the early stages of the war. ”

Hearing the words of the soldiers, Roosevelt couldn't help but smile bitterly. Now the whole United States is worried about the spread of the economic crisis, and no one wants to pay attention to the danger of war.

The whole United States hardly had a large-scale war after World War I, and it seemed too far away to make Congress approve the arms purchase so easily.

"I don't think there's much point in talking about these issues now." I saw the soldier smile at Roosevelt and said, "Perhaps, it will be more meaningful for us to talk again in 1933." ”

"Oh?!" Roosevelt was stunned, he didn't understand why the military wanted to put this issue in 1933. Isn't it okay to talk about it now?!

Seeing Roosevelt's inquiring eyes, Junzi didn't say much. He just smiled faintly, filled the teacup in front of Roosevelt with tea again, and said softly: "Please tea!" ”

At this time, the headquarters of the Kwantung Army was dignified! After all, Kenji Dohihara has been operating in Manchuria for many years, and even served as an adviser to the old handsome Zhang Zuolin! The relationship is intertwined, and someone will always reveal some rumors to him!

"Tufei-kun, is the news you got reliable?!" I saw that the current commander of the Kwantung Army, Ryokari Takashi, said in a gloomy voice to Kenji Dohihara and the others: "You know, the seriousness of this matter! If this is not true, then the relationship between the empire and the United States will be completely stiffened! ”

Hearing this, Kenji Dohihara nodded calmly at Ryokari Long, and said slowly: "This news comes from an old relationship of mine in the Feng family, he is a member of Yuan Jinkai's family. The news came out of Yuan Jinkai's mouth, and there must be no deviation. The Americans really want to sell the Northeast Army fifty P-26 fighters and drawings in development, as well as four Omaha-class light cruisers! ”

The décor in this office is quite European, and the identity of the owner of the room is the Japanese Army flag hanging on the wall and the Japanese soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Kwantung Army. After about three hours of secret meetings, the military headquarters in Tokyo received a secret telegram. At the same time, the commander of the Japanese Korean garrison, Lieutenant General Hayashi Mijuro, also received a secret telegram.

After seeing this secret message, Lin Mianjuro summoned his henchmen to hold a secret meeting. No one knows what was said at this meeting, and there is no record of it.

And in Tokyo, Senior General Minami Jiro, the former commander of the Japanese Korean garrison and preparing to take office as a member of the Japanese ** Senate, kept sneering with a telegram! It seems that he thought of something again, and the sneer turned into a wild laugh!

At the beginning of November, a group of Italians hurried to Manchuria. These late Italians did not remain reserved, like the British, but directly approached Zhang Xueliang to ask to join the trade negotiations.

The tripartite negotiations were finally successfully concluded at the end of November. On 30 November, the Manchurian and American business delegations and the Italian business delegation unanimously announced the business agreement reached by the three parties.

The agreement talked about Manchuria cooperating with major American and Italian companies, such as U.S. Iron and Steel Corporation, to develop industry and agriculture in Northeast China.

U.S. Steel will design a new steel plant modeled after the Gerry plant, while the rest of the existing steel plants will also be renovated and renovated with the help of U.S. Steel.

Manchuria will build a large hydropower station on the Songhua River in the west, and this hydropower station is expected to be completed around 1933 with the introduction of American technology and equipment, and the employment of American technical experts and Italian workers and technicians.

Part of the Mukden Arsenal will be converted into a car factory, and a new car factory will be built. This part of the engineering, technology, and workers will be built with the help of the American Ford Motor Company, while the old factory will be expanded by the Italian company and re-equipped with new foreign machine tools.

With the help of the United States, Manchuria will also build a tractor factory, according to the plan, the equipment will be built in the United States in its entirety, and then dismantled and shipped to Manchuria, about 30 American manufacturers and 50 Italian manufacturers have booked to manufacture all the equipment for the plant, and the Americans and Italians will assemble it in Manchuria. And the Americans served as the chief engineer of construction ().

In terms of the production of aircraft and engines, the United States supplied 50 Manchuria P26 fighters and a certain amount of aircraft accessories, and promised to provide technical assistance and technicians to come and coordinate. The Italian side offers some designers.

As for the funds, there was no need to worry at all, because the recent victory of Manchuria in the Battle of Harbin had given Britain and the United States great confidence in Manchuria's ability to repay, so Britain, the United States, France, Italy, and other four countries began to implement a credit guarantee system for Manchurian exports.

This system allowed Manchuria to obtain large loans from the four countries mentioned above! Italy alone dared to provide Manchuria with a state loan of up to 200 million lira for 5 years at an interest rate of only 6%! And the United States refused to show weakness, and directly announced through Congress that it would make a set of loans to Manchuria with an interest rate of up to 80 million US dollars and an interest rate of only 5.5 percent!

Of course, these loans are all deducted in kind. Moreover, Manchuria had to deal with some of the unemployed workers in the United States and Italy, which meant that some American and Italian workers had to be employed in these new factories.

And the British side saw that the meat was eaten by the United States and Italy, and couldn't help but regret it! Hurry up and propose to Zhang Xueliang that he can provide a loan of 50 million pounds with an interest rate of 5%! Of course, the condition is that Zhang Xueliang must set aside part of the project and hand it over to the British to do. and cooperated with Britain in Manchuria.

These news can make Nanjing angry! Jiang Zhongzheng's mother Pixi, who kept yelling in his office, was helpless. Who told him that the battle of the central power was really bad?! Now I am still confused with Wang Zhaoming in Guangzhou.

And the Manchurian ?! The Soviet Union was destroyed in three or two clicks, and the countries naturally believed in the capabilities of Manchuria more than that. Another figure who is almost bloodied in Nanjing is the current vice president of the Executive Yuan, the president of the Central Bank, the minister of finance of the Nanjing National Government, and Song Ziwen, who is also a member of the foreign affairs, budget, capital construction, water conservancy of the Yellow River, and national defense organization, etc., is almost going to the northeast to duel with Zhang Xueliang!

Boy! I Song Ziwen didn't see how much money I didn't see for a long time, won't you win a battle with a turtle in the northeast?! Those foreign devils are in a hurry to send you money?! What's this called?!
