The Third Reich: The Return of the King

[Ding, the system prompts, the host has completed the first stage of the main quest to rebuild the empire, and the task reward has been distributed, please pay attention to the host!].

[Ding, the system prompts that the host's funds have accumulated to 2000 points, and you can choose to enter the system mall and activate the purchase authority of the mall!].

The system mall, which is a very important part of this war system.

The system in Mainz not only enhances his personal capabilities, but also allows him to procure modern and future advanced weapons, as well as various raw materials and materials.

These things mean a lot to Mainz and even to Hans as a whole.

According to history, after the First World War, the Allies imposed extremely severe restrictions on Hans in the Treaty of Versailles, not only the military industry was severely restricted, but also many other restrictions, and the loss of overseas colonies made Hans lose a large number of sources of cheap raw materials, and the huge war reparations also completely emptied the entire country's finances and even accumulated debts.

After the First World War, Hans's currency, the mark, depreciated sharply, to an unprecedented degree, and in the chaotic period of the post-war period, from 1918 to 1923, the mark depreciated 100 billion times, in 1918, a box of matches only cost 0.02 marks, but by 1923, the price of matches had risen to 200 million marks, a loaf of bread, in 1923 the price was an eye-popping 1 trillion marks!

In terms of international currency exchange, in 1914, 1 dollar could be exchanged for 4.2 marks, but by 1922, this figure had become an exaggerated 420 billion marks!

This kind of inflation and currency devaluation is unprecedented in the entire history of the world, and even the fiat currency of the later Guodang Party and the currency devaluation of a certain black uncle in Africa may not be comparable to the chaos of the early Weimar Republic.

During the five years of chaos, the entire social wealth accumulated by Hans for hundreds of years was looted, countless families went bankrupt, a large number of unemployed workers were left on the streets, and I don't know how many people starved to death.

Mainz had seen some reports in later generations, during this period of time, a large number of soldiers who were physically disabled because of the war lost the means to support their families after the war, and could only go to the streets to beg, but at that time, there were not many people in the whole society who could fill their stomachs, and the 60 million unemployed people in the country did not know how many, and how could they support themselves and their families by begging for a living?

Seeing the desperate eyes of those disabled soldiers who have sacrificed everything for their beloved motherland, Mainz's heart feels a deep tingle.

Knowing this dark history, Mainz naturally tried his best to avoid this happening, and when he had no money to buy supplies from the Great Powers, he had to find another solution.

The first thing that comes to mind for Mainz is the Red Empire in the east.

During the period of Tsarist Russia, the industry of the woolly bear was not developed, and the technical level was a cut behind the European average, let alone compared with the industrial level of Hans.

However, Maozi is not completely useless, Maozi has occupied a large amount of land in the centuries-long history of expansion, including the vast and fertile plains of Eastern Europe - the Great Plain of Eastern Europe!

This plain stretches from the Arctic Ocean in the north, to the shores of the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea in the south, from the Ural Mountains in the east to the Baltic Sea in the west, with a total area of 4 million square kilometers, making it the second largest plain in the world and the largest plain available to human beings.

It is precisely because of the existence of this plain that the woolly bear has been a large agricultural country since ancient times, since the eighteenth century, the woolly bear has been exporting cheap grain to Europe to make money, at this time the red empire was almost abandoned by the whole world, and the traditional European countries including Gaul, the sun never sets, the Benelux and even the three Nordic countries, have no good feelings for the woolly bear.

Not only did they provide a large number of weapons to support the Bully Bears, but they also adopted a policy of blockade and embargo against the Bears, almost completely closing the trade channels with the Bears.

As a result, there will inevitably be a large surplus of food in the country, but there is an extreme shortage of weapons, ammunition, various industrial products, machinery and equipment.

On the other hand, Hans, on the other hand, did not lack industrial products and all kinds of machinery and equipment, but because of the overpopulation and the fact that a large amount of territory was cut off after the defeat, their food supply was extremely difficult, and at this time, the two could form a perfect complement.

Hans's factory could supply the bears with arms in exchange for cheap Eastern European grain, and if such a deal could be successful, it would be of great significance to Hans, at least to reduce the problem of food and clothing for most families.

And Mainz also knew very well in his heart that historically, after the Genoa Conference in 1922, the Soviet Union and Germany secretly bypassed the Treaty of Versailles and launched a secret cooperation.

However, historically, the cooperation between the Weimar Republic and the woolly bear was very unsuccessful, because they not only sold weapons to the woolly bear, but also provided a full set of production lines and a large number of advanced technologies to the woolly bear, which made the woolly bear's technological progress rapid, especially military technology, after the first five-year plan of the woolly bear, the hairy bear successfully transformed from an agricultural country to an industrial country.

And it is from this time that it has become an extremely difficult thing to conquer the woolly bear by force!

Therefore, in Mainz's heart, it is okay to cooperate with the hairy bear, but we must pay attention to the proportion, and we must not raise tigers for trouble, after all, the hairy bear is not comparable to the European vote of the country in terms of land area and population size, the more the population, the wider the land, the greater the war potential, there are currently three such enemies in the world, Eagle Sauce, Maoxiong and the Celestial Empire, the industrial level of the Celestial Empire is too bad, so it is directly excluded.

And within thirty years, the greatest threat to Hans was not Britain and France, but the United States and the Soviet Union.

Eagle sauce is thousands of miles away in North America, so there is little direct conflict of interest with European countries, but the hairy bear that is already on the edge of Europe is the biggest threat to all European countries, so the hairy bear will definitely become the enemy of the Third Reich, and it is likely to be the biggest and most dangerous enemy!
