Ding! System Notification: The host's funds have accumulated to 2000 points. You can choose to enter the System Store and activate the purchasing authority of the store!
The system store was a very important part of the war system.
The system on Maynz could not only enhance his personal abilities, but also purchase modern and future advanced weapons, raw materials, and supplies through the system.
These things were of great significance to the whole of Hanses.
According to history, after the First World War, the treaty of Versailles imposed extremely strict restrictions on Hans. Not only was the military industry severely restricted, but there were also many other restrictions. The loss of overseas colonies caused Hans to lose a large source of cheap raw materials. The huge war reparations also completely emptied the entire country's finances and even piled up debts.
After the First World War, Hans 'Mark had depreciated drastically. This degree of depreciation was unprecedented. In the post-war chaotic period, from 1918 to 1923, the Mark had depreciated by 100 billion times. In 1918, a box of matches only cost 0.02 Mark. However, by 1923, the price of matches had risen to 200 million Mark. The price of a loaf of bread in 1923 was a jaw-dropping 1 trillion Mark!
In terms of international currency exchange, in 1914, one US dollar could be exchanged for 4.2 marks, but by 1922, this figure had become an exaggerated 420 billion marks!
This kind of currency depreciations was unprecedented in the entire history of the world. Even the legal currency system of the Guo Party and the currency depreciations of a certain black uncle in Africa might not be comparable to the chaos in the early days of the Weimar Republic.
During the five years of chaos, all the wealth that Hans had accumulated over the past hundred years had been looted. Countless families went bankrupt, and a large number of unemployed workers were on the streets. No one knew how many people had starved to death.
In his later life, he had seen some reports. During this period of time, a large number of soldiers who were physically disabled due to the war lost their means to support their families after the war and could only beg on the streets. However, at that time, not many people in the entire society could fill their stomachs. Many of the 60 million people in the country were unemployed. How could they support themselves and their families by begging?
Seeing the desperate eyes of the disabled soldiers who had sacrificed everything for their beloved country, Mayinz felt a deep pain in his heart.
Since he knew about this dark history, he naturally had to do his best to avoid such a thing from happening. Without money to purchase supplies from the foreign powers, he had to find another way to solve the problem.
Among them, the first thing that came to mind in Mayinz was the Red Empire in the east.
Mao Xiong was still very weak. During the Russian period, Mao Xiong's industry was not developed. Its technical level was behind the European average, let alone compared to Hans 'industrial level.
However, the Russians were not completely useless. In the hundreds of years of expansion, the Russians occupied a large amount of land, including the vast and fertile plains of Eastern Europe, the Great Plains of Eastern Europe!
This plain stretched 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, and to the Polo Sea in the west. It had a total area of up to four million square kilometers. It was the second largest plain in the world and also the largest plain available to humans.
It was precisely because of the existence of this plain that Mao Xiong had been a large agricultural country since ancient times. Since the 18th century, Mao Xiong had been selling cheap food to Europe to make money. At this time, the Red Empire was almost abandoned by the whole world. The traditional European countries, including Gaul, the Sun Never Sets, Benelu, and even the three countries of Northern Europe, did not have any good feelings for Mao Xiong.
Not only did they provide a large amount of weapons to support Bo Lan's attack on Furry Bear, but they also adopted a blockade and an embargoed policy against Furry Bear, almost completely closing off all trade channels with Furry Bear.
Therefore, there was bound to be a large amount of food in the country, but they were extremely short of weapons, ammunition, industrial products, and machinery.
On the other hand, Hans 'side did not lack industrial products and all kinds of machinery and equipment. However, due to their excessive population and the loss of a large amount of territory after the defeat, their food supply was extremely difficult. At this time, the two could form a perfect complement.
Hans 'factory could provide firearms to Furious Bear in exchange for cheap Eastern European food. If this deal could be successful, it would be of great significance to Hans. At least it would reduce the problem of food and clothing for most families.
In history, after the Genaya Conference in 1922, the two sides had secretly bypassed the Versailles treaty and started secret cooperation.
However, in history, the cooperation between Weimar Republic and Mao Xiong was a failure. Not only did they sell weapons to Mao Xiong, but they also provided a complete production line and a large number of advanced technologies to Mao Xiong. This made Mao Xiong's technology progress rapidly, especially military technology. After Mao Xiong's first five-year plan, Mao Xiong successfully transformed from an agricultural country into an industrial country.
And it was also from this moment that conquering the hairy bear with force had become an extremely difficult matter!
Therefore, in the heart of Mayinz, it was fine to cooperate with Mao Xiong, but they must be careful. They must not raise a tiger to invite trouble. After all, Mao Xiong was not comparable to Europe in terms of land area and population. The more population and land, the greater the war potential. There were currently three such enemies in the world: Yingjiang, Mao Xiong, and China. China's industrial level was too bad, so they were directly eliminated.
Within thirty years, the biggest threat to Hans was not England and France, but the United States and the Soviet Union.
Ying-chan was far away in North America, so there was not much direct conflict of interest with the European countries. However, Mao Xiong, who was originally on the edge of Europe, was the biggest threat to all European countries. Therefore, Mao Xiong would definitely become the enemy of the Third Reich, and it was very likely to be the biggest and most dangerous enemy!
