Chapter 594: Operational Plan Against the United States

Before David came to see Arthur, the British government must have made preparations and considerations in advance.

Australasia could not help Britain for nothing, even if the relationship between the two countries was really good.

Again, there are only eternal interests between countries, but no eternal relationship.

To maintain a good relationship between Australasia and Britain, satisfying each other's interests is a necessary prerequisite.

This sentence can also be applied to interpersonal relationships. Apart from the two elements of family affection 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 the person's friend. And when a person is important to you, he is your friend.

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

Hearing Arthur's conditions, David said quickly: "That's natural, Your Majesty. The war in the Philippines should end with the war in Central America. The nature of these two wars is the same. However, the Americans are destined not to bear such a heavy loss. Perhaps we have to prepare for a full-scale war."

It is destined that the Americans will not accept the two territories of the Philippines and Central America from the United States at once.

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

In any case, it is necessary to prepare in advance. Although the United States is unlikely to start a war, who can guarantee that the brains of the American rulers will not be temporarily Watt?

What if President Coolidge has a brain twitch and starts a war, can he withdraw it?

If the Americans win the wars in the Philippines and Central America because of lack of preparation, then Britain and Australasia will become a laughing stock.

"That's natural. The Australasian army will be ready for battle 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 strong in at present is the navy, which the British can completely deal with.

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 in the White House.

Not only was Arthur very satisfied with the British conditions, but the British were also very satisfied with Arthur's attitude of being ready for war at any time.

It is precisely because of this that the final cooperation was quickly reached in this secret talk. The two sides agreed to issue an ultimatum to the Americans after joint preparation to end the war that lasted for more than a year.

In order to prevent the possible backstab of the islanders and the interference of other countries, the two sides even agreed on the distribution ratio of the fleet in the Pacific and the Atlantic to ensure that the US and the island countries' armies can be completely suppressed.

However, it is unlikely that the island countries will strongly support the United States. After all, the Tokyo earthquake severely damaged the island countries' industry, and it would take several years to recover.

Speaking of the intervening countries, the French are the most likely. The gap between Britain and France has been getting bigger and bigger, and the French should not sit idly by and watch the British become stronger.

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

Britain and Australia need at least one month to prepare, which is the real reason why the two sides agreed to issue the ultimatum at the end of April.

On the one hand, it is just right to transport more weapons and equipment to Central America, arm Central America into a more powerful chess piece, and share some of the pressure of the Americans for Britain and Australia.

At the same time, the navy can be mobilized during this period to achieve the strategy of approaching the United States if the Americans disagree.

The strategy reached with the British allowed Arthur to temporarily solve the United States, a major concern, and his mood became better.

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

Arthur originally thought that Germany, which maintained the monarchy, would be completely different from the development in history, but he didn't expect that some characters would be destined to emerge even if their backgrounds 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 he was forced to retire.

The German Workers' Party was founded in 1919, and its latest name is the National Socialist German Workers' Party.

But this party has little connection with workers. Its ruler is the famous Adolf Hitler, who founded the Third Reich.

Of course, Hitler's identity has changed dramatically now. The Weimar Republic failed to be born, and Germany's history is also very different from the original history.

However, there is one thing in common between Germany today and Germany in history, that is, the domestic situation is quite chaotic, the economy is quite depressed, and the people's lives are quite poor.

After World War I, most countries have experienced currency depreciation, among which Germany and Russia are the most serious.

The depreciation of the Russian ruble is understandable. After all, the civil war lasted longer than World War I, directly destroying Russia's industry. It would be strange if the ruble did not depreciate.

The depreciation of the German mark is even more serious. The most fundamental reason is the poor political situation in Germany after the war and the chaotic division and autonomy of the states.

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

The value of the Bavarian Thaler is even much greater than the German Mark, which further destroyed the economic value of the Mark in Germany.

Before the outbreak of the war, 1 pound was equal to 20 German Marks, and the purchasing power of the Mark was still very high. The life of the German people was also one of the richest and happiest countries in Europe.

But after the outbreak of the war, the value of the Mark has dropped significantly. If the fact that one pound could be exchanged for hundreds of Marks at the end of the war has already demonstrated the collapse of the German currency, then the fact that even if you want to use Marks to exchange for foreign currencies, you can't exchange them now, which has proved how serious the collapse of the German currency is.

The famous 500,000 Mark bread incident does not mean that the bread in Germany was worth 500,000 Marks at the worst time, but uses 500,000 Marks to set off the collapse of the German economy during this period.

In fact, the current situation in Germany is far more serious than what has been recorded in history. The wages of the people 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 headed by Hitler have won the support of the people for their extreme speeches.

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 obtaining political rights in Germany, it is definitely one of the top five major parties in Germany.

If there are no certain restrictions on Hitler's development, with the support of the people, it is inevitable that Hitler will obtain the power of the government.

This also means that Germany is still likely to become the Third Reich in history. Not only is William II very likely to be completely hollowed out, but Europe is also likely to usher in a super war far beyond World War I in the near future.

Arthur expressed his 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 other Hitlers who will imitate Hitler and cultivate Germany into the warlike Third Reich.

Unless the current situation in Germany can be completely changed, but this is completely impossible. After all, none of the countries that received reparations are willing to give up their reparations, the French will not give up their restrictions on Germany, and the British will not let Germany continue to grow into the second great power.

It can be said that the current situation in Germany is created by the entire Allied Powers. With the power of Australasia alone, it is impossible to restore Germany to the situation before the war.

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

The hatred of the Germans for the victorious countries, especially France, has deepened extremely. Can their memory be revoked?

This is also the real reason why Arthur did not hinder Hitler's rise in the end, because the war between Germany and France in the future is inevitable. I am afraid that even without Hitler, there will be people like Butler and Carter who will lead Germany to war.

Instead of letting someone else rule Germany, it is better to let Hitler, who Arthur is familiar with, come. At least Arthur is more familiar with Germany under Hitler's rule, and it is also controllable to a certain extent.

At the same time, there was another major event concerning Germany, which was still about the situation of German reparations.

In order to ensure that the Germans really had no money, rather than deliberately defaulting on their debts, after research by many countries that received compensation, it was decided to jointly control German banks, reorganize the Deutsche Bank, and implement German currency reform.

The Allies jointly loaned 800 million gold marks (39 million pounds) to the Deutsche Bank to help Germany stabilize the value of its currency.

Because the OEM production method was too slow to obtain funds, Germany also needed to mortgage its own tariffs, tobacco, alcohol, sugar and tea monopoly taxes, railway revenues and industrial and commercial enterprise taxes as conditions for the loan to ensure that Germany would eventually be able to repay the loan and all reparations.

Of course, in order to protect Germany and ensure that France's threat to Germany would not be realized. The British also deliberately added a condition, that is, no single country could impose sanctions on Germany, and sanctions against Germany could only be implemented through the meeting of the entire Allied Powers.
