Bulgarian Empire

Chapter 73, Germany's Repudiation

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements!? Italy was successfully controlled by the military. Unfortunately, the war reparations wanted by the Allied Powers are still elusive, and due to the entry of the coalition forces , Italy's economy further deteriorated.

In the Kingdom of Italy, where the unemployment rate is as high as 50%, the people are already clinking with poverty. Regardless of paying war reparations, they are still counting on the Allied Forces to distribute relief food?

The southern Italian region is okay. The local industry is backward, and the agricultural population accounts for a considerable proportion. There are not too many people in need of relief.

After reaching an agreement with the British consortium, Ferdinand ordered the garrison to distribute a batch of relief food, and then began to use work as relief, such as: leveling the land, building factories...

The French in the north are tragic. How about millions of people pointing at the French army to eat?

Make them in a dilemma, let's distribute relief food, members of Congress will not be able to pass that test, if relief food is not distributed, Italy will soon be in chaos.

If Italy is in chaos, the war reparations will fall through. The French government is worried!

The British, who reacted a step slower, began to read jokes now. Due to their strength, they only controlled Rome, and their pressure was relatively minimal.

Withdrawing troops from Italy? Just think about it, if you return without success, how can you explain to the country? Not everyone sold their debts like Bulgaria did!

The cooperation between Bulgaria and the British consortium is not kept secret, and everyone will know soon, but it is still in the wait-and-see stage.

In 1924, after the first batch of factories were put into operation, the participating British consortiums increased their investment one after another under the stimulation of interests.

Soon the French also began to follow suit. The world's first industrial migration broke out, and Italy seemed to become a huge industrial park, with factories all over the coast.

The London government suddenly realized that it was at a disadvantage. They haven't got the share that belongs to the British Empire?

Bulgaria and France have occupied Italy from the east to the west. How can the British Empire be enough with just one Rome?

Negotiate, must negotiate! The share belonging to the British Empire must be taken back, especially the French-controlled area!

The southern Italy occupied by Bulgaria was developed in partnership with the British consortium. This is acceptable to them, but the French control the most elite northern part of Italy, and all of them were eaten by the French consortium. This is unbearable.

Negotiations on the Italian issue have not yet started, and Germany has problems again.

The war indemnity that was supposed to be paid at the end of 1923, the Germans applied for a deferment of payment, and with the support of the British, the Allied Powers agreed.

At that time, everyone was held back by the Italian problem, and they did not want Germany to have any more problems. The French also made concessions and agreed to the Germans to delay payment for one quarter.

Now that the time is coming, the German government once again asked for an extension, and at the same time asked the Allied Powers to reduce or exempt part of the war reparations.

The Weimar government really had no choice this time. The major kingdoms with the best economic recovery in the country only subscribed to the part they had originally divided, and the rest fell to the central government.

In areas controlled by the central government, the Weimar government is pursuing liberal political reforms, such as the establishment of a parliamentary system and the opening of universal suffrage, where anyone over the age of 20 can participate in elections.

On the one hand, it is improving social welfare, such as: eight-hour work system, weekend and two-day break system, granting union rights to government employees, simultaneous operation of the dual-track system of regional social security benefits and central social security benefits, comprehensive free education, free medical care...

On the surface, these policies are all good, but unfortunately, except for the right to vote, everything else is a castle in the air, and the people can't see it.

For example: eight-hour work system, yes, the whole country is an eight-hour work system, but you have to work overtime for four hours a day without pay, and continue to work overtime on weekends. At least 40 hours of unpaid overtime.

There is nothing wrong with it. Half of Germany's industrial products have been written off to the Allies to pay off debts, so this shift must be free of overtime.

Another example: social security benefits, due to lack of finances, these welfare funds have been in arrears for many years, and many people have high pensions in name, but it is a pity that they are paid out in depreciated marks.

The mark has been depreciated by more than 4,000 times, is it the same as the original gold mark? So these so-called pensions have no effect except to deceive themselves.

The Germans have done a good job of free education, and basically implemented it.

Free medical care is completely fooling people.

The so-called free medical care is only effective in the public hospitals established by the Weimar government, and there are only two such public hospitals in the whole of Germany, and the total number of medical staff is less than one hundred.

With such a scale, can the German people find these two hospitals?

Even if you find it, you go to line up, and then the doctor tells you that there are more than seven figures in front of you in line, wait a hundred years before coming back!

Don't look at these projects as empty shells. In fact, these projects are gold-eating beasts. Half of the German government's annual budget is swallowed up by the bureaucracy.

It is not without basis that the French accused the German government of deliberately reneging on its debts. Since they have money for social welfare, why don't they have money to pay off their debts?

...

"Tell the Germans that if they can convince the British consortium, we have no objection. Now they are only in debt with the British consortium, and the Bulgarian government is just a routine reminder!" Ferdinand said coldly

The Germans may think that Bulgaria is easy to talk, and they actually want the Bulgarian government to give up Germany's war reparations. How is this possible?

The debts have been sold, can't the Bulgarian government pay the debts for the Germans?

Even if they didn't sell their debts, Ferdinand couldn't forgive their debts. These are all money. Did he give up for the sake of the so-called friendship between Germany and Paul? It seems that the relationship between Germany and Paul is not so important!

"Yes, Your Majesty!" replied Megeve

Perhaps annoyed by the attitude of the Germans, Ferdinand added: "At this Paris meeting, we will be in charge of watching the show. If the British support the German proposal, let them be responsible for domestic affairs." Consortium!"

Get the domestic consortium? If the London government had such strong capabilities, they would not have to worry about financial problems.

The capitalists are not easy to mess with, whoever dares to touch their cheese, they will treat anyone to eat sweet potatoes!

Politicians in London, not so selfless, put their lives on the line for the benefit of the Germans.
