Chapter 642: Invitation From the Regent

PS: Even if 629 is unbanned twice, it seems that the whole chapter needs to be rewritten.

...

...

Continue to hold Japanese debt, strengthen control over Japanese industries, and let all the money earned by the Japanese fall into their own pockets.

This is the plan of the old Americans and the British, and the plan is progressing smoothly. 60% of Japan's manufacturing industry is under the control of the United States and Britain.

At the same time, the development speed of Japanese industry is improving day by day, and a large number of new technologies and production equipment are continuously transported from the sea to this island country.

The Japanese seem to have no resistance to this. They just depreciate the yen while striving for preferential prices, and increase exports to reduce domestic economic pressure.

New York, Midtown Manhattan, Rockefeller Center.

"If things go on like this, will Japan still be able to go to war?" Mary asked while sitting on the most primitive exercise bike.

Li Zitao is practicing bird flying with dumbbells, but it seems a little too easy for him, "Japan is a country with perverted thinking, who knows!"

Saying this is a bit demeaning. The Japanese thinking is not so much a perversion as an absolute respect for the strong.

The servility that penetrates into the bones inspires strong inferiority complex, creates distorted conceit, and integrates into the complex race of class formation in every corner of society.

Having said that, every nation is complex.

"I really hope that the war will end soon...Care funds will be officially listed in Gangjiang next month. Do you want to go with me?" Mary stopped, wiping her sweat with a towel.

"I'm going to disappoint you, my dear... I'm going to Poland tomorrow, and the itinerary has been fixed." Li Zitao put down the dumbbells and said softly with his arms around his wife.

"Poland?" Mary asked curiously.

"Well, the developments in Germany are very disturbing. Britain, France and the United States can sit idly by, but some people can't sit still." Li Zitao said with a smile.

Poland, which was the "fuse" of World War II, is also sad. Poland, which had disappeared for 120 years, finally took advantage of the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in World War I to reappear.

But he was caught between the giants of Germany and the Soviet Union, and he was squeezed and suppressed every day.

The eastern region that Germany lost in World War I became the western part of Poland, and its ally, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, fell apart directly, so I was very annoyed.

The territorial loss of the Soviet Union was even more severe, one was Poland, the other was the independence of Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.

After the loss of these pieces, the Soviet Union almost completely lost its access to the Atlantic Ocean, and the strategic impact was extremely serious.

There is also the Soviet-Polish War 16 years ago. The hatred brought to the two countries has never passed. The two "strongmen" of Germany and the Soviet Union have long been dissatisfied with Poland.

If we go deeper, during the period of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, as a European superpower, its attitude towards neighboring countries was to kill them all.

Whether it is the Eastern Slavs who have not yet established a country and were almost wiped out, or Prussia that is in the process of being divided, they all look the same.

Even the small countries around him, such as Switzerland and Denmark, are not spared. It is a typical example of not knowing what restraint is, and wanting to kill everyone.

After the restoration of the country after the First World War, they did not learn their lessons, and still fantasized about the power they once had. They wanted to restore the land they occupied when they were strong, and once again took advantage of the fire to rob Germany and the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union was happy to invade Western Lithuania and Western Belarus at that time. Damn, I can't find a reason to beat you to death.

There is no more civil war, let's kill this bastard first.

The Su-Bo war was so exciting, the old man jumped up and down happily.

Therefore, on the entire European continent, Poland has always been a typical representative of treachery and looting.

If it weren't for the support of France, I don't know how many times I have been destroyed, and I still want to restore the country?

This is also the reason why Poland was the first to be divided between the two countries at the beginning of the war.

The factor that triggered World War II is the issue of reparations that made Germany unacceptable.

According to the war indemnity regulations of World War I, the German government needs to pay 269 billion gold marks in reparations.

Equivalent to 96,000 tons of gold. How much is it worth now? ?

Taking 282 yuan per gram of gold as an example, 96,000 tons = 96,000 tons = 96000000000 grams = 96 billion grams.

The total value is 282x96 billion or about 27 trillion yuan.

Compared with the 230 million taels of silver paid to Japan in the Sino-Japanese War, the Xin Chou Treaty compensated the Eight-Power Allied Forces with 450 million taels of silver.

According to the current price comparison, silver is 2% of gold, and Germany's compensation in World War I was more than 400 times that of China's Xin Chou Treaty.

In fact, the First World War never ended, just like Foch, the French coalition commander at the time, predicted the United States: "This is not peace, this is a 20-year truce."

France suffered the greatest loss in World War I. It wanted to continue to weaken Germany through huge indemnities, but it didn't expect it to backfire.

The fact that the little man was able to ascend to a high position step by step was directly related to the anger of the Germans over the indemnity, which also contributed to the establishment of the NC government.

As for the old Americans sitting back and watching Poland being divided up, it was because in their opinion at the time, maintaining US-Soviet relations was much more serious than Poland's border issue.

This time Li Zitao went to Poland to meet with Josef Piłsudski, known as the "Regent" of Poland.

Poland's current situation is very bad. It wanted to extend the time of the "non-aggression peace treaty" with the Soviet Union, but was rejected by the other party for reasons.

Signed a new "non-aggression peace treaty" with the little man, but judging from Germany's movements, there is no guarantee for that thing.

Due to domestic economic reasons, the French also have limited funding for Poland. If they want to ease relations with the UK, the proud British don't care about them at all.

Piłsudski sensed the danger, but suffered from lack of funds to modernize and arm the troops, so he found Li Zitao somehow.

After getting in touch with S.H.I.E.L.D., Piłsudski personally invited Li Zitao to meet him in Poland.

"Our people have found out that Piłsudski's health has deteriorated rapidly, and he has been living in the Belvedere Palace in Warsaw."

These news came back from Poland. When they withdrew from Germany, S.H.I.E.L.D. kept a lot of people in Poland, Switzerland and other places, and it just happened to come in handy now.

"Let's go!" Li Zitao also got ready.

It is not easy to go to Poland. They first went to France, then France to Switzerland and Austria, and then passed through the Czech Republic and finally arrived in Warsaw, Poland.

When the two Gulfstreams landed on the Warsaw military runway, it was already the fifth day after departure.

"Mr. Li, welcome to Warsaw. I am Zeberes, and I am here to welcome you on behalf of His Excellency Piłsudski." The colonel named Zeberes stepped forward immediately.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Piłsudski, for the arrangement." Li Zitao said with a smile.

The itinerary this time was very unpleasant. If he hadn't wanted Poland to last for two more days, Li Zitao would have enjoyed the beach, the breeze and the hot girls in bikinis under the blue sea and blue sky.
