Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    For Europe, the implementation of the "Dawes Plan" is objectively conducive to the recovery of the European economy.

    In economics, the liquidity of funds is very important for economic development. In fact, the U.S. dollar goes around in a circle and flows into Germany in the form of loans, then from Germany to the creditor countries in the form of reparations, and finally in the form of debt repayments.  Flow back to the United States.  In this turnover, new blood was injected into the economies of various countries and they were able to resume economic production.

    At the same time, as U.S. capital continued to flow to Germany and Europe after the war, the U.S. dollar gradually became a world currency and became the main support for Germany's currency stability, budget balance, and reparations payment.  The economic ties between the United States and Europe have been further strengthened. If there is a credit problem with the US dollar, all European countries will be implicated.

    This is one of the reasons why the subsequent world economic crisis, marked by the New York stock market crash, quickly spread to Europe and caused serious inflation in Germany.

    Under the various considerations of major countries, the World War I did not hurt the German industrial foundation, and instead stimulated the development of heavy industry.  A large number of outstanding engineering and technical personnel were not lost in the war.  During the period between World War I and World War II, Britain and France did not gain a clear advantage over Germany in technology.

    Militarily, after World War I, Germany had advanced ideas in building its army, strict training, and its military tactical guidance far surpassed that of the British and French countries.

    However, economically, due to the super horrific inflation, the German people's property was wiped out overnight and they all became proletarians.  This reality of serious asymmetry between military strength and economic conditions is not surprising.

    A blank piece of paper is easy to draw on, and the sharp loss of property has objectively stimulated the German people's spirit of hard work and entrepreneurship.  On the other hand, in order to curb the development of communism in Germany and reap huge profits, the international financial oligarchs also provided a large amount of financial support to the Hitler regime in the early stages.

    Germany was the biggest beneficiary of the "Dawes Plan". The capital from the victorious countries injected a boost into the German economy, which was on the verge of despair, allowing it to quickly recover and develop. This helped it politically re-enter the circle of Western powers.  The foundation was laid for the formation and further freedom from the shackles of the Treaty of Versailles.

    By 1929, Germany had once again become Europe's leading economic power, changing the balance of power in Europe.

    "Reparations were originally a way of punishment for Germany by the Allied Powers and a form of extortion by the victorious countries against the defeated countries. In the end, they invisibly allowed Germany to rise again. This is undoubtedly a great irony.

    ¡°However, to ordinary Germans, he does not think that he has taken advantage.  The starting point of this economic plan proposed by the Americans was not for the welfare of ordinary German people, but just to keep the German economy from falling into despair and making the compensation for defeat an empty talk.

    Once upon a time, Wilson's Fourteen Points for Peace caused a commotion of wishes and expectations.  In December 1918, when Wilson set foot on the blood-stained soil of Europe, the masses welcomed him with mad enthusiasm as the "king of mankind", "savior" and "prince of peace".  They listened greedily to his vision of peace and security.

    But everything remains on paper.

    According to the territorial resolution of the Treaty of Versailles, Germany¡¯s territory was reduced by one-eighth and its population was reduced by one-tenth;

    The two regions of Alsace and Lorraine, which had been occupied by Germany since the Franco-Prussian War, were now returned to France;

    The peace treaty also stipulated that the Rhine demilitarized area was established and Alsace was transferred to the jurisdiction of the League of Nations for 15 years;

    Germany recognized the restored independence of Poland and returned part of Upper Silesia that belonged to ancient Poland;

    The city of Gda¨½sk and its adjoining districts become free zones protected by the League of Nations;

    The Treaty of Versailles also stipulates that Germany must strictly respect the independence of Austria and recognize the independence of Czechoslovakia

    Although more than 100,000 square kilometers of Polish land that has been occupied for hundreds of years are still owned by Germany, this can no longer appease Germany, which is gritting its teeth.

    Germany stares at the Treaty of Versailles angrily, and will make a hundredfold effort as long as there is a glimmer of possibility.

    Looking at the entire world, no country is as prosperous as China, with real military threats and enthusiasm for absorbing military industrial capabilities.  This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Hanqing was able to seize the opportunity and vigorously absorb the German military industry.

    In the early honeymoon period of Sino-German relations, China has already shouldered the important task of reserving German military power and maintaining its leading position in the world.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? may be can be understood by looking at the proportion of reparations which the countries concerned in the "Dawes Plan" deserved, and it is not difficult to understand why Germany has such a widespread and strong sentiment of national revenge.

    &The well-known "Memorandum of Mutual Assistance in Economic Development between China and Germany" clarifies that China-Germany relations are a "strategic comprehensive partnership that does not regard third countries as imaginary enemies."

    The agreement stipulates that "all achievements made by German technical personnel in China, whether in guidance, training, or research, as well as all technological innovations, patents, and practical results obtained by Chinese personnel, will be fully shared between China and Germany."  Share it¡±.  Depending on the situation, Germany can evacuate its technical personnel and capital technology from China at any time.

    In this way, it not only satisfies the German government's expectations for technological continuity and makes it willing to disclose or transfer its technological capabilities to China, but also simultaneously makes China significantly improve. Sino-German friendship, everyone is happy.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
