Chapter 61 Chatting
"Of course, Mr. Major. Since the Great Depression broke out in the United States in 1929, until last year, the total value of industrial production in the United States has been reduced by half, and the per capita income has also been reduced by half. More than 1000 million people are unemployed and millions of people are homeless. The situation in Germany is not much better."

The reporters nodded one after another. Germany still has a huge war reparation payment. Although the payment has been temporarily suspended, the unemployment rate in Germany is frighteningly high in the face of the economic crisis, and the common people have no food at all.

Zuo Zhong pointed to the reporters: "During the campaign, Mustache promised that every family in Germany would have bread and milk on the dining table, and let Germans live with dignity. What will he do?

I think it is nothing more than the implementation of a large amount of infrastructure construction, the implementation of comprehensive planning and management of the national economy, and finally the fostering of the army and the expansion of the military industry as the fundamental driving force for economic growth. "

Vicente and the reporters understood that Germany was likely to embark on a path of corruption, which was not good news for world peace, especially for Britain.

"Sir, are you worrying too much? After all, it's only been 15 years since the first war. The Germans should know the gap between them and the Anglo-French alliance." A French reporter proudly objected.

Zuo Zhong did not answer directly: "Why did Marshal Foch of your country say angrily after the signing of the Versailles Treaty: This is not peace, this is a 20-year truce."

It is of course known that France has demanded that Germany hand over 50.00% of the machines, Poznan, most of Central Silesia and all of Upper Silesia.

However, this harsh condition also caused dissatisfaction in Britain and the United States. They did not want to see France dominating the European continent brought about by Germany's excessive weakening, so they did not implement it.

Everyone present was lost in thought, is there going to be another world war?Many people trembled, the bloody World War I was still in sight, and many people lost their husbands, sons, and relatives.

Especially in France, more than 100 million French soldiers died or went missing during World War I, hundreds of thousands of civilians were killed in the flames of war, and millions were disabled, 100 million of whom were completely disabled. The population of France as a whole was only 4000 million.

What's more serious is that most of the French died were young and strong youths, among whom farmers, teachers, engineers and other social elites also accounted for a considerable proportion. In this war, France lost a whole generation.

The French reporter anxiously asked: "Mr. Robber, where do you think the Germans will start their evil plan?"

Zuo Zhong shrugged his shoulders: "Maybe it is the Rhine Demilitarized Zone. No power will allow its land to be occupied by other countries. Behind it may be Austria and the Sudeten land. The Germans need to expand their sphere of influence and resources."

Some reporters also dismissed what Zuo Zhong said: "The forces of the Allies will not sit back and watch the Germans occupy. You must know that our tanks, aircraft, and ships are twice as many as the Germans."

Zuo Zhong covered his stomach and laughed loudly: "Please forgive me for being straightforward. France, with its ideals in mind and sword in hand, is dead. The British are still licking their wounds. The Americans only care about their America. As for the giant red bear."

Vicente's face was ugly. This damn robber said something ugly, but it was all true. The Allied Powers were no longer the Allied Powers during World War I. The former ally, the current giant red bear, was the biggest opponent of the Allied Powers.

This can be seen from the Versailles system and the Washington system, and it is more concrete in the Dawes plan, the Younger plan, and the Locarno Convention.

Zuo Zhong suddenly wanted to do something bad, and he coughed lightly: "I think Britain and France may adopt a policy of appeasement in the face of the actions of the Germans. Hope to feed the Germans."

If Zuo Zhong speaks out about the future so openly, will Britain, France and the Americans be vigilant and suppress Germany's development in advance, so that the Second World War will disappear?

impossible.

Under the general trend of history, the reality of economic decline, the influence of anti-war ideology, the policy needs to support morality and suppress law, and maintain the balance of power in Europe, all have made it impossible for anyone to change this war.

Besides, they also counted on the German tanks and the red giant bear to do a game. The only lesson humans have learned from history is to never learn any lessons.

"Gentlemen, have you forgotten that this is a birthday dinner? This is not Downing Street, nor the Elysee Palace. The iron hooves of the Germans have not yet been raised. Let us enjoy this moment."

After Zuo Zhong finished speaking, he went to look for Imma. The little guy was frowning when he saw that the guests were chatting and ignoring her. He had to perform a full set of acting, so he had to make the host happy tonight.

"Miss Imma, may I invite you to a dance?"

"Of course, Mr. Robber."

Zuo Zhong took Imma's little hand and danced to the accompaniment of the small band. The guests dispersed automatically, leaving space for the two protagonists to move around.

A British reporter asked Vicente in a low voice while drinking: "Major, do you think the robber is right? I don't think the situation is so serious."

Vicente opened his mouth, and suddenly thought of what these reporters did to Mr. Consul, he quickly shut his mouth again. He was afraid of these reporters, and they were too good at turning black and white.

"I think it makes sense. After all, our citizens absolutely don't want another generation to die. It is in the interests of France to wait and see cautiously." The French reporter felt that what Zuo Zhong said was in line with reality.

"The United States is not interested in the war on the European continent. We act for ourselves, not for others." American journalists have no interest in this.

Except for the Americans, everyone secretly laughed. The Americans participated in World War I, killed about 10,000+ people, injured several 10 people, and reaped a lot of benefits.

For example, from a debtor country to a creditor country, from a capital-importing country to a capital-exporting country, it completely got rid of the control of European capital and became the veritable number one economy in the world.

However, due to the obstruction of Britain and France, the United States did not get any benefits from the armistice agreement. In a fit of anger, the United States continued to pursue isolationism, did not participate in European politics, and focused on economic development.

The dance between Zuo Zhong and Yi Ma had ended, and the guests applauded one after another.

"Friends, let our Ms. Imma enjoy her birthday cake." Zuo Zhong looked at his watch, and there were important things to do next.

The people in black immediately lit the candles and turned off the electric lights. Under the blessing of the guests, Imma closed her eyes and folded her hands together, not knowing what wish she was making, then opened her eyes and lightly blew out the candles.

"Clatter clatter." This is the warm applause of the guests.

When the lights came on, everyone was surprised to find that the masked man also took out a gift. The host of the dinner, Imma, had a look of surprise. Unexpectedly, Mr. Robber had an unexpected surprise.

Imma happily opened the gift box and took out the gift inside. It turned out to be a very delicate pistol. The guests didn't know what it meant. Could it be that they were recruiting people?

"This pistol is a gift from me. Girls should learn to protect themselves. If you encounter a robber next time, you can use it to protect yourself." Zuo Zhong was like a kind old father at the moment.

"Hahaha," the guests laughed in good faith.

Imma really liked this gift, and carefully put it back into the gift box: "Thank you, Mr. Robber, I will take good care of it."

"Okay gentlemen, in addition to the previous arrangements, I also prepared some gifts for you, which contain the atrocities of the Japanese. I hope that you who are rich and righteous can tell all kind people." Zuo Zhong pointed to the information.

Zuo Zhong didn't understand why the Secret Service had so much evidence but didn't use it rationally. It's true that relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself, but it can add some trouble to the Japanese, so why not do it.

When the reporters opened the files, there were bloody cases, human lives, and tragedies. Anyone with a little conscience would not ignore such atrocities.

The reporters started filming, still muttering words. They were also shocked by the brutality of the Japanese. The materials included the testimonies of survivors and some photos, which are undeniable evidence.

"Are you really trying to expose these beastly deeds? I think you're lying to everyone." At some point, Major Vicente came to Zuo Zhong's side.

Zuo Zhong glanced at him sideways: "Could it be that Mr. Major is doubting my integrity? Or shouldn't the whole world know what the Japanese have done?"

Vicente stroked his beard: "Of course not, this kind of anti-human behavior should be cast aside. I mean, will you really catch him without a fight?"

Zuo Zhong laughed loudly: "It's really not easy to hear this evaluation from a British officer. After all, you did a great job in South Africa, didn't you?"

Vicente was a little ashamed in his anger. During the Boer War, in order to completely eliminate the base of guerrilla activities, the British took all Boer women, children, old people, and black servants from the burned farms, and used open trucks or The bullock carts were transported together and sent to a concentration camp.

In the end, more than 2 Boer civilians died in the concentration camp, including more than 1000 old people, more than 4000 women, and [-] children. Compared with the Japanese, they did nothing inferior. This is a well-known fact.

"Okay, I don't care about what happened to the Boers. What I want is for the international community to face up to the humanitarian disaster in Northeast China. As long as my goal is met and all the hostages are released, I will be captured without a fight." Zuo Zhong explained his attitude again. .

Vicente is not optimistic about this: "Mr. Masked Man, do you think the Japanese will admit defeat so easily? They have more money and strength, and the newspaper is likely to compromise."

Zuo Zhong raised his finger and shook: "No, no, Mr. Major, you made a mistake. It's not that I begged the media to report it, but they are begging me.

And can the Japanese buy all the media? If it is possible, then I can let them spend a lot of money, right? "

Vicente understood that the masked man's attitude towards the Japanese was unrelenting, he was really a lunatic.
