Chapter 2392: The 1st Battle Ends 4

After using military means to stifle the possibility of the French becoming hostile to Germany again, and using economic means to gradually integrate France into its alliance, Germany still needs France to do one thing, that is, let France eventually become Germany's military leader. important ally!

In the future war, the status of France is really important. Ruprecht is not only satisfied with the French adhering to neutrality, because this will make the Allied forces lose the opportunity! What would happen if the French sided with Germany? Not to mention the millions of French troops and strong industrial production capacity, simply using France's strategic position can give Germany a huge advantage!

With the cooperation of the French, the entire Mediterranean Sea will become the inland sea of ​​the Allied Powers! The German fleet and submarines can use the west coast of France as their home port to easily defend against challenges from the other side of the ocean, while bombers deployed on the French side of the English Channel can carry out long-term strategic bombing of the British and eventually destroy their opponents! And the French colonies can also provide great help to Germany. Along the French ports and airports in West Africa, Germany can easily build a front around the entire African coastal area! France will become the bridgehead for Germany to suppress Britain and resist the United States!

And if this bridgehead is lost, or even if France is neutral, it will be very difficult for Germany to strategically bomb Britain, and it may be difficult for Germany to find a suitable military port on the Atlantic coast! Even if Spain or Portugal finally succumbed to Germany's pressure and chose to cooperate, their position is too far south! At the same time, without the help of France in African ports, Germany's colonial sea transportation lines in southern Africa would become very vulnerable, or be forced to bypass most of Africa to enter the Indian Ocean, and then transfer to the Mediterranean! What a depressing thing this is!

Therefore, in order to avoid future troubles, and to prevent France from moving closer to the United States militarily, Ruprecht took this opportunity to put a shackle on the French! This is the fourth article of the treaty! Of course, in order to make this treaty appear fairer, Germany also opened some ports to France. However, it is estimated that the French have no chance to use these German ports for military operations!

After the signing of the contract with France, the next step is Belgium. If the German Empire is oppressive to the United Kingdom, but still has the most basic respect and standards, and it is tolerant to France and willing to cooperate in the future, then it is nothing to Belgium. Have mercy, both Ruprecht and the Kaiser will resolutely suppress this Belgium!

As for the reason? It's very simple. On the one hand, it is because Belgium's independence and status are largely given by the British. Belgium is a nail that the United Kingdom has driven into Europe. Germany has won, and this nail will naturally be pulled out. On the other hand, Belgium's position is very important, and it is the key to Germany's strategy against France! Therefore, in any case, even if Belgium wants to hate the Germans for a lifetime, Germany still has to garrison troops in Belgium to ensure the suppression of France. it is necessary! Therefore, after the war, Germany's attitude towards Belgium was more like the divisional occupation of Germany by the Allied forces at the end of World War II in later generations. As for what to do in the future, it will be at least five years later, and Belgium's colonies in Africa will naturally be directly included in the pockets of the Germans!

But compared to what happened to Belgium, the members of the Allied Powers in the Balkans were even worse! Romania lost more than a third of its territory, including its most important oil fields. Serbia has become a historical term again. As a return to the Ottoman Turkish Empire, most of Serbia was reincorporated into Turkey's territory, while the other part was handed over to Bulgaria. Also gone is the Kingdom of Montenegro.

As for the Kingdom of Greece? Although because of the sympathy of the Kaiser,

Most of the country was preserved, but it completely became a vassal state of the German Empire. The situation can be compared to Belgium.

By the way, there is another important member of the Allied Powers that has not signed a treaty with Germany. This is Russia, which has fallen into a civil war. How should I say it? In this plane, none of the forces in Russia was able to quickly form an advantage, and the parties were very entangled. Of course, this is inseparable from the continuous interference of Germany and Austria. Therefore, at present, the German and Austrian governments cannot find a government that can represent the whole of Russia to sign a treaty. Even if there are internal forces in Russia who are willing to sign a contract with the Allies, the crown prince will not easily agree. The willingness is very simple. Who can guarantee that the content of this treaty can implement? Therefore, now Germany and Austria are only constantly stabilizing their occupied areas, and then let the Russian civil war continue for a few more years.

Some people may have said, what if the newly established Russian government after the war refused to sign a World War I treaty with Germany? How do you say this? This situation is almost impossible! Because the Russians dare not! No country in the whole world can prevent the Allies from benefiting from Russia!

When the victory is decided in Russia, the United States should be at war with Japan in the Pacific Ocean, or the best result is that the war has just ended. It is impossible for the United States, which has fought a costly war, to be directly hostile to Germany for Russia! And don't forget, the United States and Germany were still allies in the Pacific War, so they turned around and went to war with their allies directly? This span is a bit too big! So it's impossible!

England and France? In just 2 to 3 years, it is impossible for the UK to recover. It is estimated that the British are most concerned about how to maintain the operation of the country and hand over the indemnity to Germany? Not to mention France! If France is no longer hostile to Germany, then Russia's significance to France will be very limited! France has neither the guts nor the need to defend Russia! As for other countries? Not to mention!

In addition to Russia, which cannot be discussed for the time being, there is another member of the Allied Powers that has not been discussed, and that is Japan! If there is no such thing as the United States, do you want Japan to pay compensation? This is a bit difficult, after all, the distance is too far. Germany has just finished a three-year war, and there are a lot of domestic affairs. How can it go to the Far East to fight the Japanese again? But now, because of the factors of the United States, Ruprecht plans to discuss the issue of compensation with Japan again in the Pacific War!

One family counts as one family, and Ruprecht will never let go of any member of the Allied Powers! (Note, there are other members of the Allied Powers in history, such as Portugal. Those countries that are not mentioned are those that did not participate in the war in this article.)
