The Rise of the Third Reich

Paris, France.

When the news came that the Hungarians rejected the Allied ultimatum and established the Soviet Republic. The quarrel between the three countries at the Paris Peace Conference had lasted for two months. The Paris Peace Conference was not a bargaining between the victorious and defeated countries, but the leaders of the three victorious countries, Britain, the United States and France, quarreled behind closed doors, and Japanese representatives Saionji Kimmochi and Makino Nobuaki, as well as Italian Prime Minister Orlando and others were watching the show.

At this conference, for Britain, the most ideal result was to let the European continent regress to the pattern before the world war or the Franco-Prussian War. That is to continue to maintain the balance of power, with several equally powerful countries restraining and hostile to each other, and no one could do anything to the other. There was no difference between the dominance of France and the dominance of Germany for Britain.

Unfortunately, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which was originally an important party in the European balance of power, had fallen apart, and Russia, another link in the European balance of power, had become a Soviet country that was difficult to get along with... If we can't find a way to make the situation in Russia favorable to Britain after the Paris Peace Conference, then Russia will no longer be a force to maintain the balance of power in Europe.

The French proposed to use a Greater Poland to isolate Russia from Europe, but can the Poles really fight against the Russians? No European would believe it.

Moreover, the Poles have always been pro-French! Greater Poland is mostly a staunch ally of Greater France, and it is the French power that is strengthened. Therefore, the British do not agree to weaken Germany too much, lest France become too strong to be controlled.

And the French naturally want to smash Germany into pieces and swallow it piece by piece! At least the Rhine River must be used as a boundary - this will swallow Germany's most important industrial area in one bite. In this way, France will become the largest industrial country in Europe and the second largest in the world, far surpassing Britain. If a staunch pro-French Great Poland is added. Europe will return to the Napoleonic era overnight!

Not to mention that the British will not agree to this, even the Americans will jump up. So Britain and the United States oppose it together!

As for what the Americans want, of course, it is to replace Britain to lead the world - this replacement is a question of who is the boss between brothers, and it is not the same concept as the contradiction between Britain and Germany, Britain and France, and France and Germany. So the method proposed by Woodrow Wilson to achieve American leadership in the world was called the League of Nations, which sounded a bit conceptual...

In short, the Paris Peace Conference lasted for two months, and the Japanese devils Saionji Kimmochi and Makino Shinken watched two months of a show for nothing. However, on March 23, when the two Japanese rushed to the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles, they actually found that the presidents, prime ministers and prime ministers of Britain, France and the United States were very close, almost head to head, talking in a low voice around a table.

"What's going on? Mr. Prime Minister." Makino Shinken didn't dare to go up and disturb the three "hegemons" Wilson, Clemenceau and Lloyd George, so he found the Italian Prime Minister Orlando who was sitting on the side, crossing his legs and looking gloating.

"They found that the world war is not over yet!" Orlando turned around and said to the Japanese in a rare cheerful tone.

"The World War is not over yet?" Makino Shinken was startled, "Did the Germans go back on their word?"

"No, not Germany, but Hungary!" Orlando said, "They rejected the ultimatum and established the Soviet Republic!"

"What? What?" Makino Shinken and Saionji Kimmochi looked at each other. This is really funny. The peace conference has been going on for two months, and the three giants are arguing here every day to divide the spoils. As a result, the World War is not over yet, and theoretically, they haven't even won!

"Then what should we do?" Saionji Kimmochi asked hurriedly.

The Italian Prime Minister replied: "What else can we do? Of course, we have to beat the Hungarians up!"

"Who will beat them?" Makino Shinken asked.

Orlando shrugged, "We Italians are willing to do our best if our efforts can be rewarded accordingly..."

It's a pity that Britain, the United States, and France never thought of letting Italians go to Hungary... This must be a loss for the Hungarians! As for the Japanese, the war in Europe has nothing to do with them. Now they only need to consider how to get Germany's rights and interests in Shandong.

The armies of Britain, the United States and France actually didn't want to go to Hungary, because they found the road to Hungary very difficult to travel...

...

The road to Hungary was very difficult for the British, French and Americans. Because they did not border the Hungarians, and Germany and Austria had not yet signed the harsh treaty, in theory, Germany and Austria might not accept the conditions of the Allies and choose war!

So it was not feasible to go to Hungary through the territory of Germany and Austria - if you must go through, you have to negotiate with Germany and Austria, at least give the condition of lifting the blockade, right?

If you can't go through Germany and Austria, then the Allies can only enter Hungary by land from Croatia, Serbia and Romania.

"The Hungarians are very hateful. They destroyed the railways and blew up many railway bridges. Now the railway traffic from Croatia, Romania and Serbia to the Hungarian Plain has been completely interrupted!" "The water transportation of the Danube has also been interrupted! They laid mines in the Danube!" "They also surrounded our two Moroccan regiments stationed in Budapest, disarmed them, and expelled them to Austria. This is a declaration of war against the Allies and France!" "Yes, this is a declaration of war! The Allies cannot retreat, they must be taught a lesson!" "That's right, they must be taught a lesson!"

The discussion became heated, and "Tiger" Clemenceau was the most excited, jumping on his feet and shouting to fight and kill. British Prime Minister Lloyd George also abandoned his gentlemanly demeanor and echoed from the sidelines. The Hungarians not only refused to surrender, but also established a Soviet Republic! This is completely different from the German "fake Soviet"!

According to the reports of the Allied military delegation and special delegation that were deported to Vienna, the ruling Hungarian Socialist Unity Party has publicly stated that it wants to establish a proletarian ****! And it’s still being implemented. After they "seized" (actually it was not a seizure, it was the Karoli government that could not hold on and gave up power), they immediately promulgated a decree to establish the Red Army! The Hungarian Red Army established political commissars exactly in accordance with the model of the Soviet Red Army. As the real power holders of each unit, professional officers (mainly old officers and hired retired German and Austrian officers) were only their staffs.

The Hungarian judiciary has also been completely revolutionized. The old judicial organs were abolished, and new revolutionary tribunals were established with the original workers in charge of trials. The revolutionary people's police also replaced the original old police.

On the economic front, the first declaration issued by the Hungarian Soviet government was to declare the nationalization of banks, mines, large industrial enterprises, transportation vehicles and large real estates. Subsequently, the Hungarian Soviet government promulgated a decree that foreign trade was exclusively owned by the state, and also established the Supreme Council of the National Economy to manage the national economic work.

After the promulgation and implementation of this series of decrees, the leaders of the Allied Powers have realized the fact that the Soviet revolution is spreading in Europe! The second real Soviet state has appeared in Europe!

"Mr. Prime Minister, Mr. Prime Minister!" U.S. President Woodrow Wilson suddenly said to Clemenceau and Lloyd George in an extremely solemn tone, "The Russian revolution has not yet been extinguished, and Hungary has become the second Soviet Republic. ! If we cannot unite to curb the spread of revolution, a new world war may begin!"
