Chapter 405: Japan that jumps back, Germany that is happy and sad

As for the First World War, it is difficult to say that it is sad or joyful, and different butts naturally have different views.

For the world hegemon of the British Empire, oh, it should be said that the former world hegemon, of course, it is a great tragedy. The most prosperous Greater London and nearly a third of the mainland were reduced to ruins, and the home fleet that once suppressed the world was completely wiped out, with 4 million people killed before and after, plus the crippled, basically accounting for one-tenth of the total population of the country, it is not an exaggeration to say that a generation has died.

The colonies that once spread all over the world have also lost a lot, and in order to win over China and the United States, the two bastards who are watching the fire from across the strait, they have lost a lot of territory.

In addition to the three sons of Canada, Australia and New Zealand, the rest of the colonies are also on fire everywhere, fighting everywhere, and they don't stop everywhere. No, the Spanish flu is just coming to an end, and India and Africa, which used to see the plague quiet, are now making trouble again. In particular, those Boer anti-bones in South Africa are not satisfied with giving so much autonomy, which is really hateful.

The savings of hundreds of years of looting the world have also been consumed in the more than five years of war. A third of the country still needs to be rebuilt, which is another huge expense.

What made them most angry was that Ireland next to it became independent. It is understandable that the allies as enemies support the Irish, but the United States, China and France of the Nima Entente also support the Irish, which makes the British grit their teeth in anger. Niu Niu, who has been pitting his teammates for a long time, has also tasted the taste of being pitted by his teammates. But Britain, which was exhausted at that time, did not have the strength to fight Ireland anymore, so they could only pinch their noses and admit it. watched the five boys of the Wei Er family swaggering and being crowned king in Dublin. Note that Ireland in this plane is still all Ireland, and even Northern Ireland has nothing left for Niu Niu.

In this case, the empire on which the sun never sets is about to become a sunset empire, and the position of the world hegemon is naturally unkept. However, due to the inertia of thinking, many people still think that the British Empire is very strong, and Britain itself thinks so.

France is about the same, almost one-tenth of the country's total population is dead and destroyed, and almost one-third of the land is destroyed. The colonies are also on fire everywhere, and in order to win over China and the United States, a lot of blood has been shed and a lot of territory has been vomited. The only thing they can console themselves with is that the naval losses are not as great as the British, but the land forces have been replaced.

Needless to say, in addition to the heavy losses during the war, the loss of a large amount of land, and finally even the country was divided, and now their "Red and White Song Party" is still in full swing.

This loss made the first three major shareholders of the Entente cry. If I had known that the fight would be so bad, a fool would have fought with the allies for a few king-killing criminals, this Nima is simply bloodless, I really want to drink Sanlu and die.

As for Belgium and Portugal, which were small countries that participated in the war, they were even more sad and lost their colonies. Compared with Portugal, which was not involved in the mainland, Belgium was even more miserable, and even the mainland was beaten into ruins.

But their rivals, the Allies, also wanted to cry. Italy, which was on its own plane, was stunned for a while, stood on the wrong side, and got on the pirate ship of the Allies. As a result, the colonies were completely gone, more than 2.6 million people died, and the navy was almost completely wiped out. The northern industrial zone in the country was also devastated by the Japanese locust army, and a quarter of the country's land was scraped to the height of the Japanese.

Austria-Hungary, oh no, the Austrian Empire is also a loser, although they have no colonies to lose, but they also killed more than a million people, and most importantly, the territory is divided. The only thing that comforted Emperor Ferdinand was that he finally found a future for his son, although the current kingdom of Ukraine is only in the west, it is also a king, and the territory of Ukraine is still very fat. There is no way to divide the empire, and the next emperor is not his son anyway.

As for Germany, there are winners and losers. The overseas colonies were completely lost, and German East Africa, although still in size and about half the size of before, was soon to become independent according to the agreement with the locals. Even if they can continue to exert influence on the country, it is not as direct as their own control, and the construction of the East African colonies is not as good as the West African colonies, and the fattest West Africa has been robbed by the Americans.

Africa has certainly lost, but in Europe, it has won. Although only one Luxembourg was added to the empire's homeland, the three old enemies of Britain, France, and Russia were all pressed to the ground by the invincible imperial army, not to mention the annihilation of the British home fleet, and even London and Paris were defeated. Although more than 2.6 million people died, the result was also very brilliant, and most importantly, it was the tiger skin of the British.

The thing that Wei Er is most proud of is that he has found good jobs for the second to sixth children of his family, two kings and three grand dukes, and the monarchs of six countries are all from their families, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is "European cloth". Especially the fifth Joachim, when he was still the king of Ireland, it was next door to the British, as long as he thought of his old cousin Qiao Wu's current face, Wei Er was overjoyed.

Well, as for the fact that it ended up being a tug-of-war and a war of attrition, they selectively ignored it. And the fact that if it is consumed, it must be Germany that dies first, is also selectively forgotten by them.

If you want to say that the real winners, that is, China, the United States and Japan, they not only got a large number of orders in the war, which made the domestic economy grow explosively, but also grabbed a lot of territory. It is precisely because of the reason that "we have shared the dirt together" that the relationship between the three families is better than before the war.

Britain and France, which had lost their blood in the war, now not only gritted their teeth with hatred for Erdezi, but also had itching their teeth for the three countries that had benefited from China, the United States and Japan, especially the United States, which actually swallowed all the German colonies they had planned, and also swallowed the colonies of Belgium, Portugal, and the Netherlands, so that they had nothing to gain except for Italy's territory. By the same token, Germany certainly doesn't have a good impression of the Yankees who have grabbed their territory, and it doesn't feel much better about China, which wants money.

It is precisely because of the hostility of old Europe that Sino-US relations, which were originally somewhat rusty because of differences of interests, have improved again after the war. And it is for this reason that Japan has come together with China and the United States. Originally, the Japanese still wanted to follow Brother Niu, even if Brother Niu was beaten into a pig's head by Hans, the second dezi, they still didn't think about turning their faces, in addition to inertial thinking, there was also too much pressure from China, and they wanted to have a backer.

But after the war, Britain and France turned their faces. Mozambique, which had already been allocated to them, was prepared by Britain and France to take it back. Of course, it was not returned to Portugal, Britain and France were not so righteous, they were ready to divide the two families by themselves.

Now we have touched the G-spot of the Japanese, why are we fighting to the death like this? Isn't it just for the sake of territory, you Britain and France have occupied so much territory, it is not enough, and you still come to attack our Moshan idea. According to the Japanese themselves, this is "a millionaire is actually ready to rob a beggar!"

Fuck you opium cows! Fuck you Gallic chickens! The whole of Japan was outraged.

If it was before the war, the Japanese would probably have been cowardly, and no matter how reluctant they were, they could only spit it out obediently, and the power of Britain and France was not something that Japan, a sling power, could bear. But after the First World War, Japan found out that Britain and France were like that, and they weren't beaten like dogs by Erdezi, and they couldn't even keep their nests. If it weren't for the warriors of the army and navy of the Japanese Empire, who withstood the attack of the Germans with their fearless sacrifice and superb combat effectiveness, and flew the Italian car, you Britain and France would have knelt long ago.

Yes, in this war, the Japanese have become more confident, and they are no longer as afraid of the European powers as they used to be. Above all, Britain and France suffered heavy losses, while Japan, on the contrary, reaped a great deal of benefits from the war, not only forgiving their previous debts, but also earning a lot of hard currency and much-needed technology from orders from Britain, France, and Russia, as well as the plundering of the northern territories of Italy, which also greatly strengthened their industrial power.

Therefore, Japan strongly rejected the demands of Britain and France, and was not prepared to make concessions at all. Of course, after all, the foundation of Britain and France is still there, and if they are allowed to confront the two major powers by themselves, there will still be a void. So they immediately found China and the United States, and the regent Crown Prince Hirohito personally traveled to Hanjing and New York, and signed a non-aggression pact with China and the United States.

So a very miraculous scene happened, the three countries of China, the United States and Japan, which were extremely bad before the war and even fought a war (Sino-Japanese Ugly War), actually squatted in a trench. They banded together and endorsed each other's turf. They also agreed that the current division of forces is fair, and any attempt to change the existing order is unacceptable. This is normal, China, the United States and Japan, of course, do not want to hand over their own territory, and it is not easy to let these guys spit out, and the position of the three parties in this regard is the same, and it is not surprising that they join forces.

When they found out that Japan's two or five boys actually jumped backwards, Britain and France reacted and did something stupid. Well, this can't be blamed on their idiots, the main thing is that the boss is used to it, and now although his strength has been greatly reduced, this mentality can't be adjusted for a while, plus Li Lingzhi is faint, and it is not surprising that he forced Japan to rebel.

Seeing that the Entente began to fight in the nest, Germany jumped out and became a-stirring stick. They first allowed German East Africa to declare independence on September 15, 1920, and form the East African Republic. Then he stood on a moral plane and condemned the old colonial empires of Britain and France, and severely praised his great and righteous behavior of supporting the African people in their struggle for independence and freedom. Moreover, the media in China, the United States and Japan have also mobilized in response to Germany.

However, both China and the United States know that a unified Europe is not in their own interests, so they don't want to weaken Britain and France too much, and they don't want to get too close to Erdezi. So this is just a mouthpiece, China and the United States are now vested interests, as long as Britain and France do not talk about the redivision of territory, they will not get an inch, so as not to cheapen the second virtue. So I don't want to completely tear my face, and Cheng DΓΉ, who is a mouth cannon, is not so powerful, and he is more measured.

But the Germans are different. Of course, the Germans are also talking about it now, and it is impossible for them to continue the war with Britain and France now. Although their losses in the war were far less than those of Britain and France, there was also the devastating Spanish flu. The plague was much worse in Germany than in England and France, and they died more in the plague than Britain and France combined. This is also one of the main reasons why Germany agreed to withdraw from the army and negotiate peace, and the morale of the people in the country has been cleared, and it is really impossible to fight. Now the plague is nearing its end, but the Germans don't want to fight either, enough people have died.

Because of this, Germany considered itself the victor, and if it were not for the plague, Britain and France would definitely be on their knees, as Russia did. Therefore, of course, they will not be polite to a group of defeated generals, and poke out a lot of dirty things that Britain and France have done before, and hype them up unscrupulously. It was even announced that it would make several films and television series about Ireland, India and South Africa, which would expose the criminal acts of the British and French colonists.

Wei Er also excitedly announced that he would play a role in one of these films, such as in the recently launched "Boer War", in which he will play himself. He will also serve as a consultant in the remaining films. Anyway, as long as he can disgust Britain and France, he feels good.

While the Germans were having a good time, there was chaos at home.

........................................................................

"What, Wei Er was assassinated? Did the German Communist Party do it?" Wen Deji was a little surprised when he received this news.

Huo Jinsi replied: "Yes, it was done by the German Communist Party. But I'm afraid it wasn't an assassination, but the damage caused by the exchange of fire in the uprising. When Wilhelm II visited the military port of Kiel this morning, some of the local workers and soldiers revolted. ”

"Why is it so fast? aren't they still in preparation?" This was a real emergency, and although they knew in advance that the KPD was preparing for an armed uprising, they were certainly not ready now.

"Their plans were discovered by the authorities, and important members were arrested, and they had to move forward. It happened so suddenly, and we didn't know it beforehand. Huo Jinsi said with a smile on his face: "The reason why their uprising plan was discovered was very stupid, a high-ranking secretary of the German Communist Party did a very stupid thing, he actually took these important documents to a beer hall, and then after drinking high, he put the briefcase in the beer hall." When the tavern owner saw the contents, he immediately reported it to the police. Then the police arrested the secretary, and that's it......"

"That's really ......," Wen Deji didn't know what words to use to describe it. "Okay, so how about Wei Er?"

"Originally, the KPD was going to take advantage of Wei Er's time in the Kiel military port to kill him, but Wei Er was lucky, the people in charge of this operation of the German Communist Party lacked experience in this area, they started a little early, Wei Er didn't get out of the car, they opened fire, of course, it could have been a fire. The bulletproof car and bodyguards that Wei Er was riding in blocked most of the bullets for him, and his vital point was not hit, so it is estimated that he will not die, but the serious injury is certain. ”
