The Third Reich: I seized power

On October 3, 1935, the Kingdom of Caesar, under the pretext of the conflict between Abyssinia’s borders and its colonies, rejected all Abyssinia’s requests for reconciliation, and sent an army of 500,000 troops to attack Abyssinia.

Although, decades ago, Abyssinia thwarted the invasion of the Caesar kingdom and defended the independence of the country.

But, decades later. Abyssinia remains poor and backward.

The kingdom of Caesar, on the other hand, although the development was slow. But good villains are one of the world’s great powers. It was equipped with a large number of aircraft, artillery and tanks, and naturally it was not poorly equipped, and even insufficient rifles, and Abyssinia, which could only fight with bows and arrows, knives and guns, could compare.

The national strength of the two sides is no longer on a level at all.

With a population of more than 40 million and a strong industrial power, the Kingdom of Caesars was able to manufacture almost all weapons and equipment on its own.

The army of the kingdom of Caesar, which invaded Abyssinia, was also fully armed.

Abyssinia, on the other hand, has a population of just over 10 million. And industry is almost blank. The army’s weapons and equipment are also very bad.

Even in this battle, Abyssinia mobilized a full army of 800,000 to resist the attack of Caesar’s kingdom, but it still ended in failure. The emperor’s son, Selassie I, also had to go into exile in the Empire.

However, there is no doubt that Abyssinia lost the war.

But what really surprised everyone was that the Kingdom of Caesar, which invested half a million well-equipped elite troops, took a full five months to capture Abyssinia.

Moreover, during the war, the Kingdom of Caesar even used poison gas, a weapon that was expressly prohibited. It took tens of thousands of people to defeat Abyssinia.

This shows how bad the fighting effectiveness of the army of the Caesar Kingdom is.

The invasion of Abyssinia by the Caesar Kingdom naturally attracted strong condemnation from the international community.

In particular, the Kingdom of Gaul and the Empire of the Sun Never Set demanded that the Kingdom of Caesar stop its invasions.

It’s just that they are just pretentious, thunder and rain.

Despite the loud shouting, they did not provide any support to Abyssinia. Even, no effective sanctions were launched against the Kingdom of Caesar. Even the Suez Canal, controlled by the Empire, was opened to the Kingdom of Caesars as usual, allowing the Kingdom of Caesars to easily mobilize troops from its homeland to Abyssinia.

It can be seen that the empire of the sun never sets and the Gallic state do not take Abyssinia seriously at all.

They preferred to sacrifice Abyssinia to satisfy the Caesar kingdom. So that the kingdom of Caesar could attack in the direction they wanted.

The Agreement of the Anti-Hairy Bear Alliance signed between the Third Reich and the Kingdom of Caesar succeeded in confusing the Gauls and the Empire of the Sunset.

In order for the Third Reich and the Caesar Kingdom to launch an attack on the Mao Bear Alliance, they naturally have to constantly meet the growing needs of the Third Reich and the Caesar Kingdom.

At the end of 1935, Hess openly proposed at a cabinet meeting that he would no longer pay reparations after the defeat of the previous war.

According to the Treaty of Versailles signed that year, the Third Reich was to pay war reparations of 269 billion gold marks, divided into 42 years. At the same time, the Third Reich had to demand twelve percent of its annual export value.

Such conditions are undoubtedly extremely harsh.

Even if the Entente victory committee later agreed to the new request of the Allies, the reparations were reduced to 132 billion gold marks and interest. Calculate that two billion marks will be paid every year. At the same time, twenty-six percent of the export value must be paid.

You know, the annual revenue of the Third Reich is only 3.4 billion marks. More than half were used to pay war reparations. This naturally put the Third Reich’s countermeasure finances in a huge crisis.

Fortunately, after the outbreak of the economic crisis, the economy of the Third Reich also suffered a heavy blow, and began to use this as a reason to demand a delay in the payment of war reparations.

However, with the recovery of the economy.

The Third Reich has now been the first to emerge from the economic crisis.

The victory of the Entente over the Commission naturally demanded that the Third Reich continue to fulfill the treaty and pay war reparations.

That’s two billion marks a year, a lot of money!

Such a huge number was handed over to the Allies for nothing, and it was completely a capital enemy.

If it remained in the Third Reich and used to expand the army, it would be enough for the military power of the Third Reich to develop by leaps and bounds.

Therefore, Hess was not prepared to pay these war reparations.

“Your Excellency, it would be best if you could get rid of this account. In that way, we will have enough money to invest in economic development and armaments. Deputy Prime Minister Papen said.

“Yes, Your Excellency. If this money can be saved, our financial pressure will not be so great. Von Kološik also said.

“But, Your Excellency, I am afraid that the Allies will not agree.” Foreign Minister Konstantin von Neurat looked worried.
