The smaller shell length undoubtedly limits the muzzle velocity and lethality of the ammunition. Is this clause a bit familiar? Yes, in history, Britain and France have restricted the barrel length of German-equipped pistols! This time, the Germans were found back! In order to prevent the British from placing army or navy weapons on the aircraft in the future, the Germans also restricted the army and navy's automatic weapon specifications...
In the end, the Germans also imposed restrictions on the British military industry and research and development. The German military will register the current British military enterprises and their equipment, and the Germans will directly confiscated some of the equipment useful to Germany. It is also stipulated that other equipment cannot be transferred to other countries or colonies. And it is strictly forbidden for all British dominions to independently develop high-level weapons!
Compared with the British Navy and Air Force, Germany has very limited restrictions on the British Army. The reason is very simple. Whether it is navy warships or air force aircraft engines, these require a complete industrial system to support them. The Germans only need to deal with a few key points. Node control can suppress the British for quite some time. But the army is different. The army’s technology is more complicated and consists of artillery and tanks. But how to say it, in fact, the artillery of World War I has reached a very high level, and a large number of artillery can be used in World War II. As for the tank? To be honest, for Ruprecht, restrictions are not a big problem, because the British tank level is historically not good... The British are better at sub-systems, shorter than integration and overall design. It is common to use first-class subsystems to produce 2nd-rate equipment!
As for other equipment, such as guns, communication equipment, and transportation equipment, either the technical level is not high, or it can be developed in the name of civilian use. So, if you really want to restrict it, it will be very difficult, and there is even no way for the number of troops. After all, it is impossible for Germany to send a large number of military observers into India, Australia and Canada, right?
Therefore, the final restrictions on the British Army focused more on the research and development of artillery, tanks, and armored vehicles. The military restrictions stipulated that the number of the British Army should not exceed 100,000. Colonies and dominions cannot be equipped with weapons that exceed a certain weight or specification. For example, tanks and armored vehicles cannot weigh more than 15 tons, and artillery cannot have cannons with a range of more than 15 kilometers.
Finally, on this day, Germany and Britain finally signed at least 7 contracts and protocols, involving all aspects of the future of Britain. These contracts and agreements will later be called the Berlin system.
"I can definitely be regarded as the most humiliating prime minister in the history of the British Empire. I feel that I am deeply guilty. When I was born, the British Empire was like the sky. When I became the Prime Minister, the British Empire was proud of all the heroes, and now , But I witnessed the setting sun of the empire, and personally signed a series of agreements sufficient to make the empire fall apart. At this moment, my heart was broken.” Afterwards, in Prime Minister Asquith’s diary, he described himself like this The mood at the time.
After the signing of the peace treaty, all German news organizations announced the great victory of the German Empire to the whole world, and this victory is considered by the world to be a more glorious victory than the Franco-Prussian War when Germany was founded! If the efforts of William I, Bismarck and Little Mochi were only to complete the reunification of the empire and prove Germany’s status as a world power, now, after a few decades, the German Empire once again used iron and blood to clean up The way forward has become the most powerful existence in the world!
"Thank God for allowing me to be born in this glorious era. We went from one victory to another! We have proved to the world that the German Empire is the most powerful country! We are proud to be born in such a country, we Work hard, struggle and succeed! Our hard work has paid off. There is nothing in this world that makes us more excited and proud than defeating a powerful enemy! "The Germans are enjoying the fruits of victory!
"At this moment, even though the United States of America, with its vast territory and the largest industrial power, lost its brilliance in the face of the victory of the German Empire, the fighting power that the Germans broke out was far higher than their national power. They have a group of wise generals, with thousands of The warriors who are willing to fight for the rise of the empire have done things that ordinary people cannot imagine. They ended an era and opened a new era.” On the second day, even in the United States on the other side of the ocean, some media also announced Amazed. Of course, the implications are very complicated! After all, the Germans just ended a war, and the Americans are about to start another war!
Compared with the signing of the contract with the British, the celebration ceremony held in Berlin, Germany, is unprecedented in scale ~ www.novelhall.com ~ The German government was very low-key when signing the contract with the French government. There was no publicity, and even the process of signing the treaty seemed sloppy. This incident even caused some people in Germany to show some dissatisfaction with Ruprecht's arrangement.
"Even though France is not the most harmful to the empire in this war, it has brought us huge losses after all. As victors, we have the right to order the losers to show their humbleness and respect to the victors." In a high-level meeting within Germany, General Heilingen, who served as the Minister of War of Prussia, very vaguely expressed his dissatisfaction to Ruprecht.
"The purpose of war is to benefit, not simply step on the opponent to show one's superiority and satisfy one's vanity." The crown prince said. "Do you have any comments on the terms of the contract signed between the Empire and France?"
"No opinion." Heilingen thought for a while and said. Although Ruprecht assisted in the negotiation, the final clauses were also approved by the Kaiser and the Reichstag. If Heilingen said he had an opinion, wouldn't it be a fight? The face of the Kaiser?
"Since we have decided to forgive the French, and gained the favor of the French based on a series of exchanges of benefits, it is like we have already taken more than half of a journey and we are just the last step. Why don't we stick to it anymore?" Asked rhetorically.
Compared with the complicated system of treaties with Britain, contracts with France are much simpler and very loose. There are only four basic contents in the "Berlin Peace Treaty between the German Empire and the French Republic".
