I weave fate in parallel time and space

Chapter 425 Order
In another world's timeline.

The First World War brought down a number of European empires, and the world's powers began to re-establish order.

Then, three major events eventually led to the outbreak of World War II 20 years later.

The first thing: In 1919, the Paris Peace Conference was held.In fact, this is a meeting where the great powers carve up the weak, and there is no fairness at all.

The second thing: In 1921, the Washington Conference was held.It almost magnified the interests of the great powers to the extreme.

The third thing: In 1929, the world economic crisis broke out.This makes the great powers urgently need transformation to get out of this crisis.Germany chose war, and China chose to sell arms.

Let’s talk about the Paris Peace Conference first. As a defeated country, Prussia actually had nothing unreasonable to say, and letting others slaughter it was its final outcome.

But the problem is that the great powers have gone too far, and their demands are so harsh that they might as well destroy the country directly. .

Not to mention that all their overseas colonies were deprived of and divided among the great powers. What was excessive was that even their homeland was also divided.

Not to mention, the great powers offered a sky-high compensation.

How much does it cost? 1320 billion marks!Equivalent to US$330 billion at the time.

These US$320 billion were US dollars that were on the gold standard in the 20s. If converted into gold, they could be exchanged for about 10 tons at that time.Even if the tax is extended to 99, I'm afraid we won't be able to afford the compensation.

It can be said that World War I placed an unimaginable burden on the country, and the entire country's finances were suddenly under great pressure.

In order to repay the debt, the German government at that time came up with a harmful trick, which was to issue excessive currency.As a result, the over-issued currency caused the country's mark to depreciate severely, so the classic 50 mark piece of black bread appeared.

Logically speaking, a severe depreciation of the mark would make it easy for Germany to repay its debt, but international debt relations are far from that simple.

When the "Contract of Versailles" was signed, the victorious powers took into account the devaluation of the mark, so there were two checks and balances in the "Contract of Versailles".

One is that Germany must repay its debts with currency equivalent to gold to prevent the impact of fluctuations in the value of the German currency.Another measure is that Germany must use its own tariffs as debt collateral. Once Germany defaults, the victorious countries can directly take away all Germany's tariff gains.

The first measure ensured that the currency repaid by Germany would always have a certain value. The second measure, Germany's entire lifeline was in the hands of the victorious country, so it naturally did not dare to disobey it.

In fact, the last compensation was paid off in 2010.

This kind of agreement was signed that was humiliating and humiliating the country.But will the Germans give up?Obviously not, so good, the first country of German Buddhism is waiting for success.

After the Treaty of Versailles was signed, French Marshal Foch seemed to think it was a bit too much, so he sighed and said: This is not peace, but a 20-year truce.

Then came what became the Treaty of Washington.

Perhaps because Fuso did not play a big role in World War I, or perhaps because Fuso diplomats did not speak English well, they were always silent when participating in the Paris Peace Conference. There were no issues involving their interests. They never Interjected, so it was called the silent Eastern country by the great powers.

However, this country's ambitions are not small. After the Paris Peace Conference, the great powers of various countries are competing for maritime hegemony.Ying, France and Chou are the best among them.

The U.S. government threatened to build 137 warships within five years to form the most powerful navy in the world.

As a veteran naval country, Britain directly announced that it would rather spend all its money to ensure that its navy has an advantage over any country in the world!There is no way, Britain is an island country, and the navy is their only advantage.

Fuso directly formulated the Eight-Eight Fleet Plan, which is to build two powerful fleets, each with 8 capital ships, and update them every eight years.

Not to be outdone, France and Italy also began to build their own naval fleets.

As a result, all the great powers around the world have entered the stage of arms race, but once finances are spent on the navy, life at home will not be easy.After doing it for a while, everyone couldn't stand it anymore.

Under these circumstances, the Washington Conference was held.

What was the outcome of the meeting?Limits the number and tonnage of armies of each country.

Several clauses directly limit the future of Fuso Navy.No matter how Fuso develops, it cannot surpass Britain and Chou.

It is said that Britain is a long-established naval country. In fact, Fuso also made its fortune through the navy. They are also an island country. In 1894, a naval battle in Fuso won a compensation of 2.3 million taels of silver, which directly transformed Fuso from a small and poor country into a major power.

Fuso, who had tasted the sweetness, actively developed its naval power since then, so after World War I, the size of its navy had long exceeded the limit limited by the Washington Conference.

After the Washington Conference, Fuso had to sell all its excess warships as scrap metal!

Therefore, Fuso felt bullied, and the second country in the Dechuan Buddhist camp actively prepared for war.

The economic crisis of 1929 was the straw that broke the camel's back, allowing Dechuan Buddhism to rise.In the end, foreign war was chosen to divert internal conflicts.After the end of World War I, the European countries realized that the balance of great powers could not guarantee stable international relations for them. For this reason, they decided to make new attempts. This gave birth to the "Versailles Peace Treaty" and the "Washington Peace Treaty" and the subsequent peace treaty that lasted only 20 years. "The Versailles-Washington System."

Under this system, in order to avoid the situation where many countries were pulled down due to the previous balance of powers, the victorious countries in World War I established a global joint organization. This organization is responsible for dealing with issues between various countries. The League of Nations born.

However, although the original intention of the League of Nations was correct, the system itself was unreasonable.

The League of Nations gave each member state the right of veto.This means that as long as one country disagrees with any issue, the meeting will not be able to proceed.

Therefore, many international issues in the Versailles-Washington system were put on hold indefinitely.

The League of Nations did not have its own armed forces, and when faced with blatant aggression by its member states, it could only rely on verbal condemnation.

And as a product of the Van-Chinese system, most important member states in the League of Nations tend to carve up the assets of the countries defeated in World War I to expand their own strength and consolidate their international status.

Those issues left over from World War I were not effectively resolved, but they also laid more seeds for the subsequent World War II.

From this point of view, the Fan-Hua system only maintained peace for a short period of time on the surface, but it did not fundamentally resolve the conflicts and even greatly deepened them.

This is the real reason why Tony said he wanted to kill the birth of the Fan-Hua system.

In the final analysis, the real reason is the exploitation and plunder of the defeated countries of the Allied system by the alliance of the Entente system, and the dominance of capital countries in the world system after their victory.

But things are different now. In this seemingly different time and space, under Char's guidance, the future of the entire world is also heading in another direction.

The first is that countries have not yet fully digested the real leap in production capacity brought about by mecha technology, and even Tesla's electrical technology has not yet been completely popularized.

The consumption of a large number of people after the war and the increase in jobs caused by industrial upgrading have made the world's employment environment unprecedentedly superior, and the economic crisis will be delayed for many years.

In addition to the Allied Powers system, the victorious countries also had Beichen, a behemoth outside the Europa system, to fight against.

They are different from Europa in terms of culture, political system, economy, and race, so they will definitely not stand with them.

They have their own political wisdom.

In addition, the Great Egyptian Empire occupying the Suez Canal will also become a key. The weapons that many people think Germany possesses have also become the key.

This national meeting is no longer held in Paris, but in Yili in Beichen.

At the conference, hundreds of major war criminals from the defeated countries were tried, and the legitimacy of the new regime established by Fermin was recognized.

Their borders were restored to their pre-war boundaries, but West France regained Alsace-Lorraine and other places as benefits that should be gained from this war.

Since it was not a dominant power, the Allies could not completely carve up the Allied countries, but began to conduct real and reasonable interest discussions through discussion and voting.

The Great Egyptian Empire took back places such as Yemen and Morocco. In addition to Beichen's support, they were able to succeed because after the Battle of Verdun, they also detonated nuclear weapons and became one of the few countries in the world that possesses nuclear weapons. .

In fact, they had similar weapons much earlier.

As Tony's teacher together with Galant, the high priest of Ramses II possesses the best alchemy in the world.

Of course, there is also an entire ancient civilization’s technology to rely on.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire also disintegrated due to the defeat. The Kingdom of Serbia annexed the Kingdom of Montenegro and part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to form a new Serbian state. Tesla's son Dane succeeded to the throne.

Tesla and Nauda went to a small island to live a secluded life.

The League of Nations was also established at this meeting, giving countries with nuclear weapons a veto power. The countries that have this right are Beichen, West France, the Great Egyptian Empire, Northern Russia, and Brittany. Five Asian countries.

In the third year after that, a strong man descended from West France. In order to get rid of Britannia's control and achieve Europa's independence, this strong man joined Fermin to form a huge European Union, referred to as the EU.

This alliance is closer than another time and space, because there is a unified Northern Continent and a unified Eastern World in this world, and in order to achieve checks and balances, a simple economic alliance cannot be carried out.

West France was founded with the help of Arthur, and its internal system was very similar to that of present-day Prussia. At the same time, the German government that brought about the war was overthrown and tried by the new regime, so there was a possibility of union.

In a sense, this huge alliance is the same as a federal system. Each European country is a state in the federation. It is highly unified politically and economically, almost very similar to a certain Soviet Union.

The five major forces of EU, Britannia, Beichen, Northern Russia, and the Great Egyptian Empire compete with each other.

A new international order is gradually taking shape under Char's guidance.
This world will also move towards a new future
