Before David came to see Arthur, the British government must have prepared and considered it in advance.

Australasia could not help Britain in vain, even if the relationship between the two countries was really good.

Again, there are only eternal interests between countries, but there is no eternal relationship.

In order to maintain good relations between Australasia and the United Kingdom, satisfying their respective interests is a necessary prerequisite.

The same can be said for interpersonal relationships. Aside from the two elements of family affection and love, it is important to respect the interests of each other if you want to maintain a relationship with an ordinary friend.

When you are important to a person, you are the person's friend. And when someone is important to you, he is your friend.

People are like this, most of the time there is no absolute selflessness, there is only satisfaction after mutual interests are respected.

Hearing Arthur's conditions, David hurriedly said, "This is natural, Your Majesty. The war in the Philippines was supposed to end with the war in Central America, and both wars were of the same nature. However, the Americans are not willing to bear such heavy losses, and perhaps we must be prepared for a full-scale war. ”

Acquiring two territories in the Philippines and Central America from the United States at once is destined to be unacceptable to the Americans.

Either start a war to avoid such an outcome, or crouch in a corner and secretly lick your own wounds, which is the only option for the Americans.

Either way, it's a must to be prepared in advance. Although there is a high probability that the United States will not start a war, who can guarantee that the brains of the American rulers will not be temporarily wheathed?

If President Coolidge starts a war with his brain pumped, will it be possible to withdraw it?

If the Americans had not been prepared to win the wars in the Philippines and Central America, Britain and Australasia would have become a laughing stock.

"It's natural, Australasia's army will be ready to fight at any moment." Hearing that David agreed to his request, Arthur nodded with great satisfaction and gave his generous promise.

Even if war breaks out with the Americans, this is what Arthur wants to see.

The only thing the Americans are currently strong is the navy, which the British can fully cope with.

After solving the American navy, the Anglo-Australian coalition forces can drive straight into the continental United States, fight all the way from Los Angeles to New York, fully occupy the entire United States, and hold a military parade at the White House.

Not only was Arthur satisfied with the conditions of the British, but the British were also satisfied with Arthur's readiness for war.

Because of this, the secret talks quickly reached a final agreement, and the two sides agreed to issue an ultimatum to the Americans after joint preparations to end the war, which had lasted for more than a year.

In order to prevent the islanders from being stabbed in the back and the interference of other countries, the two sides even agreed on the distribution ratio of their fleets in the Pacific and Atlantic to ensure that they could completely suppress the armies of the United States and the island countries.

However, it is unlikely that the island countries will strongly support the United States. After all, the Tokyo earthquake has damaged the island country's industry very badly, and it will not be able to slow down without a few years of effort.

If you want to talk about the countries that intervene, the French are the most likely. The gap between Britain and France has grown, and the French should not sit idly by and watch the British become stronger.

However, the probability of France and the United States uniting is also very small, after all, the French no longer have much interest in the Pacific, so they can't just take themselves in order to limit Britain, right?

The preparation of Britain and Australia will take at least a month, which is the real reason why the two sides have agreed to issue the ultimatum at the end of April.

First, it can transport more weapons and equipment to Central America, arm Central America into a more powerful pawn, and share some of the pressure on the Americans for Britain and Australia.

At the same time, the navy can also be mobilized during this period of time to achieve a strategy that the Americans do not agree with and are on the verge of the United States.

The strategy reached with the British allowed Arthur to temporarily solve the great problem of the United States, and his mood also improved.

But it didn't take long for a piece of news from Germany to change Arthur's expression.

Arthur had expected that Germany, which maintained the monarchy, would develop very differently from history, but he did not expect that some characters were destined to emerge even if their backgrounds changed.

Mussolini's success in Italy gave Adolf Hitler hope. This ordinary soldier, who was once attached to the German Army, found his spiritual support after being forced to leave the army.

The German Workers' Party was founded in 1919 and its latest name is the National Socialist German Workers' Party.

But this party had little connection with the workers, and its ruler was the famous Adolf Hitler, the man who single-handedly built the Third Reich.

Now, of course, Hitler's identity has changed dramatically. The Weimar Republic was never born, and Germany's history is very different from its original history.

However, there is one thing in common between Germany today and Germany in history, that is, the situation in the country is quite chaotic, the economy is quite sluggish, and the people are living in poverty.

After World War I, most countries experienced currency depreciation, with Germany and Russia being the most severe.

The depreciation of the Russian ruble is understandable, after all, the civil war lasted longer than the First World War, which directly destroyed Russian industry, and it is strange that the ruble does not depreciate.

The depreciation of the Deutsche Mark was even more serious, and the most fundamental reason was the poor political situation in Germany after the war and the chaotic division of state autonomy.

This may seem incredible, but the current Deutsche Mark is no longer in circulation in powerful states such as Bavaria, and has been replaced by Bavarian Taylor.

Even the value of the Bavarian Taylor was much greater than that of the Deutsche Mark, which further destroyed the economic value of the Mark in Germany.

Before the outbreak of the war, 1 pound was equal to 20 German marks, and the purchasing power of the mark was still very high, and the life of the German people was one of the richest and happiest countries in Europe.

But after the outbreak of war, the value of the mark has been greatly reduced. If the fact that a pound sterling could be exchanged for hundreds of marks at the end of the war was a sign of the collapse of the German currency, the fact that even the mark could not be exchanged for foreign currency now proves how serious the collapse of the German currency was.

The famous 500,000 marks of bread did not represent the value of 500,000 marks of bread in Germany at its worst, but used 500,000 marks to set off the collapse of the German economy during this period.

In fact, the situation in Germany is far worse than recorded in history, and the wages of the people have exceeded tens of millions of marks, but eating a piece of bread every day is a luxury.

It is precisely because of the current tragic situation in Germany that some politicians led by Hitler have won the popularity of the people in some of their extreme speeches.

At present, Hitler's party has won the support of a considerable part of the German people, and although it has not been exaggerated to the point of gaining German political rights, it is definitely one of the top five major parties in Germany.

If there were no certain restrictions on Hitler's development, it was inevitable that Hitler would gain the right to government with the support of the people.

This also means that Germany still has the possibility of becoming the third reich in history, and that not only does Wilhelm II have a high probability of being completely overthrown, but Europe is also very likely to usher in a super-war in the near future that goes far beyond World War I.

Arthur expressed concern about the situation in Germany and asked the intelligence organization to pay close attention to Hitler's every move.

But whether to stop Hitler's rise became a difficult problem for Arthur to consider.

If we look at the current situation in Germany, even if Hitler's rise is prevented, there are other Tslers who follow Hitler's example and raise Germany into the belligerent Third Reich.

Unless the current situation in Germany can be completely changed, this is completely impossible, after all, none of the countries that have received reparations are willing to give up their reparations, the French will not give up the restrictions on Germany, and the British will not let Germany continue to grow into the second power.

Suffice it to say that the present state of affairs in Germany was created by the Entente as a whole. Australasia alone could not restore Germany to the situation it had before the war.

Moreover, the partition of Germany and the damage done to the German people have already been done, which cannot be reversed by any decision or solution.

The Germans' hatred of the victorious powers, especially France, had deepened so much that could it be impossible to revoke their memory?

This is also the real reason why Arthur did not hinder Hitler's rise in the end, because war between Germany and France in the future was inevitable. I'm afraid that without Hitler, there would have been Butler, Cutler and the like who would lead Germany to war.

Rather than let someone else rule Germany, let Hitler, who Arthur was familiar with, do. At least German Arthur under Hitler was still more familiar and controllable to a certain extent.

At the same time, there was another major event concerning Germany, which was again about the German reparations.

In order to ensure that the Germans really had no money and did not deliberately default on their debts, the decision of many countries to obtain compensation was decided to jointly control the German banks, reorganize the Deutsche Bank, and implement the German currency reform.

The Entente countries jointly loaned 800 million gold marks (£39 million) to Deutsche Bank to help Germany stabilize the value of the currency.

Because the way of co-manufacturing was too slow to obtain funds, Germany also had to mortgage its own customs duties, taxes on tobacco, alcohol, sugar and tea, railway revenues and industrial and commercial enterprises as conditions for the loan, to ensure that Germany would eventually be able to repay the loan and all the reparations.

Of course, in order to protect Germany, to ensure that the French threat to Germany would not materialize. The British also deliberately added a condition, that is, no single country could impose sanctions on Germany, and sanctions against Germany could only be imposed through a conference of the entire Entente countries.
