Chapter 594: Combat Plan against the United States

Before David came to see Arthur, the British government must have made preparations and considerations in advance. {What? You don’t know yet|Read COM, read the chapters without mistakes|Hurry up and Google them}

Australasia cannot help Britain in vain, even if the relationship between the two countries is indeed good.

As the same saying goes, there are only eternal interests but no eternal relationships between countries.

To maintain a good relationship between Australasia and the UK, meeting their respective interests is a necessary prerequisite.

This sentence can also be applied to interpersonal relationships. Putting aside the two elements of family and love, if you want to maintain a relationship with an ordinary friend, it is important to respect each other's interests.

When you are important to a person, you are that person's friend. When a person is important to you, he is your friend.

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

Hearing Arthur put forward his conditions, David quickly said: "This is natural, Your Majesty. The war in the Philippines should end with the war in Central America. The nature of the two wars is the same. However, such a major war should end with the war in Central America. Americans are destined to be unwilling to bear losses, and perhaps we have to prepare for a full-scale war."

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

Either start a war to avoid such an outcome, or squat in a corner and lick your wounds secretly. These are the only options for Americans.

No matter what, preparation in advance is a must. Although there is a high probability that the United States will not launch a war, who can guarantee that the minds of American rulers will not be temporarily watted?

If President Coolidge loses his mind and starts a war, is it possible that he can still withdraw?

If the Americans had won the wars in the Philippines and Central America because of lack of preparation, Britain and Australasia would have become a laughingstock.

"This is natural. The Australasian army will be ready to fight at any time." Hearing that David agreed to his request, Arthur nodded with great satisfaction and made his generous promise.

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

The only thing that the Americans are powerful at present is the navy, which the British can completely handle.

After solving the American navy, the British-Australian coalition forces can march straight into the American continent, 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 very satisfied with the British conditions, the British were also very satisfied with Arthur's attitude of being ready for war at any time.

Because of this, the secret talks quickly led to final cooperation. The two sides agreed that after joint preparations, they would issue an ultimatum to the Americans to end the war that had lasted for more than a year.

In order to prevent possible backstabbing by the islanders and interference from other countries, the two sides even agreed on the distribution ratio of the fleets in the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean to ensure that they can completely suppress the armies of the United States and the island countries.

However, it is unlikely that island countries will strongly support the United States. After all, the Tokyo Earthquake severely damaged the island country's industry, and it will not be able to recover in a few years.

When it comes to intervening countries, the French are the most likely. The gap between Britain and France has become wider and wider, and the French will not sit back and watch the British become more powerful.

However, the probability of France and the United States joining forces is also very small. After all, the French no longer have many interests in the Pacific. They can't just bring themselves to restrict the United Kingdom, right?

It will take at least a month for Britain and Australia to prepare, which is the real reason why both sides agreed to issue the final ultimatum at the end of April.

As a result, more weapons and equipment can be transported to Central America, arming Central America into more powerful chess pieces, and sharing some of the pressure on the Americans from Britain and Australia.

At the same time, the navy can also be mobilized during this period to achieve the strategy of approaching the United States if the Americans do not agree.

The strategy reached with the British allowed Arthur to temporarily solve the serious problem of the United States, and his mood became better.

But not long after, a piece of news from Germany made Arthur's expression change again and again.

Arthur originally thought that Germany, which had maintained its monarchy, would be completely different from its historical development, but he did not expect that some characters were destined to emerge even if their backgrounds had changed.

Mussolini's success in Italy gave Adolf Hitler hope. This ordinary soldier who once belonged to the German Army found his spiritual support after being forced to retire.

The German Workers' Party was founded in 1941 as the National Socialist German Workers' Party.

But this party did not have much connection with the workers. Its ruler was the famous Adolf Hitler, the man who single-handedly established the Third Reich.

Of course, Hitler's identity has now changed dramatically. The Weimar Republic was not born, and the history of Germany was hugely different from its original history.

However, Germany now and Germany in history have one thing in common, that is, the domestic situation is quite chaotic, the economy is quite sluggish, and people's lives are quite poor.

After World War I, all countries basically experienced currency devaluation, with Germany and Russia being the most serious.

The depreciation of the Russian ruble is understandable. After all, the civil war lasted longer than World War I and directly destroyed Russian industry. It is strange that the ruble does not depreciate.

The depreciation of the German mark was even more serious. The most fundamental reason was the poor political situation in postwar Germany and the chaotic state division and autonomy.

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

Even the Bavarian Taylor was worth far more than the German Mark, which further destroyed the economic value of the Mark in Germany.

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

But after the war broke out, the value of the mark had dropped significantly. If the fact that one pound could be exchanged for hundreds of marks just after the war demonstrated the collapse of the German currency, then the fact that even if you want to use the mark to exchange foreign currencies, you cannot exchange it now, it has proven how serious the collapse of the German currency is.

The famous 500,000-mark bread incident did not represent the 500,000-mark bread worth in Germany at its worst, but used 500,000-marks to highlight the collapse of the German economy during this period.

In fact, the current situation in Germany is far more serious than recorded in history. People's wages 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 made some extreme speeches that have gained popularity among the people.

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

If certain restrictions are not placed on Hitler's development, it is inevitable that Hitler will obtain government rights with the support of the people.

This also means that Germany is still likely to become the Third Reich in history. Not only does Wilhelm II have a high possibility of being completely ignored, but Europe is also very likely to usher in a super war in the near future that far exceeds the First World War. .

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 prevent Hitler's rise has become a difficult problem that Arthur has been considering.

If we simply look at the current situation in Germany, even if Hitler's rise is prevented, there are still other Tellers who will imitate Hitler and cultivate Germany into the bellicose 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 compensation are willing to give up their compensation. The French will not give up their restrictions on Germany, and the British will not let it go. Germany continued to grow into that second power.

It can be said that the current situation in Germany was created by the entire Entente. Australasia alone cannot restore Germany to its pre-war situation.

Furthermore, the division of Germany and the harm to the German people have been done, which cannot be restored by any decision or plan.

The Germans' hatred for the victorious countries, especially France, has deepened to an extremely high level. Is it possible 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 is inevitable. I'm afraid that without Hitler, there would be people like Butler and Cutler leading Germany to war.

Rather than letting someone else rule Germany, it would be better to let Hitler, whom Arthur was familiar with, come. At least Arthur was relatively familiar with Germany under Hitler's rule, and it was controllable to a certain extent.

At the same time, there was another major event related to Germany, which was still about Germany's reparations situation.

In order to ensure that the Germans were really out of money and not deliberately defaulting on their debts, many countries that received compensation decided to jointly control German banks, reorganize Deutsche Bank, and implement Germany's currency reform.

The Allies jointly loaned 800 million gold marks (3) to the Deutsche Bank to help Germany stabilize the value of its currency.

Because the foundry production method is too slow to obtain funds, Germany also needs to mortgage its own tariffs, tobacco, alcohol, sugar and tea monopoly taxes, railway revenue and industrial and commercial enterprise taxes as conditions for the loan to ensure that Germany can eventually repay the loan and all compensation.

Of course, to protect Germany and ensure that France's threats to Germany would not materialize. The British also deliberately added a condition, that is, no single country can impose sanctions on Germany, and sanctions on Germany must be implemented through a meeting of the entire Allied Powers.
