It should be said that the conflict between southern Africa and the United States gave the Germans great confidence.
During the First World War, southern Africa and the United States were both in the Allied camp. Even if the Germans had three heads and six arms, they would not be able to defeat the two most powerful countries in the world at the same time. Therefore, the Germans deserved their death.
After the World War, Britain, the United States, and South Africa all increased their aid to Germany out of their own interests. This probably gave Mustache a feeling of owning the world.
When they learned about Germany's march into the Rhineland, various countries were surprised to find that Germany had already broken through the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles and had considerable military strength.
The Treaty of Versailles stipulated that the German Army was limited to 100,000 men, was not allowed to possess offensive weapons such as tanks and heavy artillery, and the German General Staff was abolished.
After Mustache came to power, he first established a similar paramilitary organization imitating the Southern African Rifle Association to conduct regular military training for members.
At this time, no country, including France, realized that Germany had taken the most important step.
The most puzzling thing is that Britain, for no apparent purpose, actually supported Germany with a batch of military weapons, including heavy artillery that was expressly prohibited by the Treaty of Versailles.
Britain probably wanted to suppress France by supporting Germany.
However, the British seem to have forgotten the damage the Germans caused to Britain during World War I. The consequences of raising tigers will be very serious.
It should be said that the acquiescence or connivance of various countries has given Mustache great confidence.
The subsequent failure of the Disarmament Conference allowed Germany to fully understand the contradictions within the Allied Powers.
After withdrawing from the League of Nations, Mustache expanded the army aggressively in the name of forming the Stormtroopers. In just two years, the size of the German Army exceeded 300,000, including the 100,000 allowed by the Treaty of Versailles.
The Brazilian Civil War has brought new opportunities to Germany. In order to win Germany's support, Southern Africa and the United States have once again increased their aid to Germany. Germany's domestic economy has grown rapidly at a rate of more than 30%. Mustache has already been elected.
The promise made to the Germans as Prime Minister filled the German tables with milk and bread.
While Germany was rapidly recovering its strength, the French economy was in slump.
After the end of the world war, France did not know how many prime ministers it had changed.
Every time a new prime minister comes to power, he always vows to lead France back to its peak, and then sadly leaves office within a week to a year, leaving nothing but feathers on the ground.
France has been struggling in an economic downturn since the end of the World War, and the start of construction of the "Richelieu" battleship has not brought any improvement to the French economy.
In name, France still retains an army of 650,000, but most of the 650,000 army is composed of colonial servants. The weapons used by many troops are even old-fashioned rifles equipped before the World War. It is not that France does not have new rifles, but that the French government is worried about it.
The colonial servants were unable to use these new weapons proficiently, and coupled with the shadow of the mutiny of the French troops during the World War, the combat effectiveness of the French troops is now a mystery, and even the French themselves cannot guarantee it.
Under such circumstances, it became logical for the German army to return to the Rhineland.
"The world is becoming increasingly incomprehensible. Have Britain and France forgotten the harm that Germany caused them during the last world war?" Kitchener was worried. The old marshal had not cared about him for a long time.
He had already passed through Europe, but after reading the news about the German army's return to the Rhineland in the newspaper, he came to see Roark as soon as possible.
I really don’t understand. Germany’s march into the Rhineland did not attract the attention of other countries. The Times only gave a tofu block to report, which was just a one-sentence news report. The British and French newspapers are probably still discussing it.
What about the Brazilian Civil War?
That's right, how could the topic of Germany's invasion of the Rhineland be as popular as the conflict between southern Africa and the United States?
A fact that cannot be ignored, whether it is the United States or southern Africa, has had an extremely huge impact on European countries.
Since the Age of Discovery, the center of world civilization has shifted from East Asia to Europe.
At least that's what Europeans think.
For hundreds of years, the old European colonial countries colonized the world with their strong ships and cannons, and transported the world's wealth to Europe. This was the glory of modern Europe.
This also gave European countries the illusion that since colonial plunder can easily bring wealth, why bother spinning wool and making steel?
It was against this background that the United States and southern Africa emerged one after another.
It was only when the industrial strength of the United States and Southern Africa surpassed that of European countries that the annual crude steel production of any two countries exceeded that of all European countries combined, did European countries realize the seriousness of this problem.
Then the bad nature in Europeans' bones began to show up.
When Europeans realize that they have fallen behind, instead of catching up and striving to become stronger, Europeans use all kinds of slander, slander, abuse and attacks in an attempt to maintain their superiority.
So don’t think that when Fat Peng said, “We lie, we cheat, and we steal” it only refers to the United States. All European and American countries are actually the same. That’s why Fat Peng is so confident.
In this context, when a conflict broke out between the two most industrially powerful countries in the world, the so-called "mediation" of Britain and France was just a show, and then they sat back and watched the excitement with peace of mind. They wished that Southern Africa and the United States would die together.
So that European countries can reap the benefits.
"Of course they know, but they all believe that they have the ability to control the situation and have everything under control, so the Germans dare to march into the Rhineland." Roque took the initiative to pour water for Kitchener, which was plain water.
Elderly people should not drink irritating drinks. Plain water is the best drink.
"What would you do if another world war broke out in Europe?" Kitchener got straight to the point. Although he didn't say it in words, there were actually signs of "isolationism" in southern Africa.
After the end of the world war, relations between southern Africa and European countries continued to deteriorate.
In Madagascar, Southern Africa had a rivalry with France.
Withdrawing from the Commonwealth, the relationship between Southern Africa and the United Kingdom went back directly to 1806, when the British defeated the Dutch and the Cape became a British colony.
Others, such as Germany, Russia, and Southern Africa, either have enmity or owe money and refuse to pay back, and they are all at a level where they may break up at any time.
So Kitchener is really worried about Southern Africa's position.
"If a world war breaks out again, the position of southern Africa will be the same as that of the last world war." Roque seemed to have given an affirmative answer, but before Kitchener could be happy, Roque added another sentence: "——
Southern Africa’s position has never changed, which is to safeguard world peace!”
Kitchina was dumbfounded. How can God maintain world peace?
World peace is something that usually only weak countries talk about, and they rely on this to survive.
As the most powerful country in the world war, Roque has the nerve to talk about world peace, but other countries may not believe it.
According to the logic of European countries, if a country is powerful, it must expand and plunder externally. This is in line with the logic of strong power.
Otherwise, what's the use of having strong strength!
"I know you may laugh at me, but my ideals have never changed -" Whether Kitchener believes it or not, Rock is telling the truth: "-You know I come from a country that was once extremely glorious, but now
As a poor and weak nation, I really don’t like war, let alone foreign expansion.”
"Oh, at the end of the Second Boer War, the territory of Southern Africa was only one million square kilometers. Now the territory of Southern Africa has exceeded 10 million. And then you said you don't like external expansion?" Kitchener didn't believe Luo.
As for Ke’s nonsense, don’t listen to what people say, but watch what people do.
From this perspective, Rock is simply more British than Kitchener, an Englishman.
"That's not to say, the expansion of Southern Africa has a certain historical coincidence. At least the expansion of Southern Africa did not bring disaster to the locals, but brought a happy life to the locals." Rock said seriously.
Kitchina said nothing and looked at Roque with a squinting look of disdain.
Judging from the current situation in southern Africa, Roque's words seem to be correct. For example, people living in Southwest Africa and Tanganyika are indeed happier than during the rule of virtue.
But the people living in Southwest Africa and Tanganyika now are no longer the people who lived there during the rule of virtue. The usual method in southern Africa is to annex an area and first use various methods to expel the local indigenous people, whether it is immigration or temptation.
No matter whether it is force or even force, it will be carefully managed after the population replacement is completed.
That's why Rock uses "locals" instead of indigenous peoples.
"All disputes are ultimately competition for living space. Europeans want to maintain their luxurious life, Americans want to replace the United Kingdom and become the global hegemon. Southern Africans also want to live a happy and beautiful life, so what can we do?
?" Rock is not afraid of Kitchina's eyes. He is joking. If he can break through Rock's psychological defense with his eyes, Rock will be too vulnerable: "——The once powerful sea coachman and the invincible fleet,
and Napoleon have disappeared in the long river of history, and now we are the protagonists on the stage."
Kitchina's eyes finally returned to normal, with a hint of relief in his loneliness.
Yes, now the center stage is not Britain and France, but Southern Africa and the United States.
So how to define the meaning of "world peace" depends on how Rock wants to explain it.
Even if Rock wants to achieve "world peace" through unification, Rock is right.
