Chapter 730: Here comes the crisis (2/2)
Edward was unmoved, deliberately pretending to be confused: ”This is certainly a disarmament conference, and everyone can sit here as the best proof.
How many troops are retained is the freedom of a sovereign state and should not be interfered by outsiders. Disarmament depends on everyone's willingness, not external force. ”
The British upheaval put pressure on David Proval. Others can ”voluntarily”, but France cannot.
This is a problem left over from history. Most of the countries present are members of the anti-French alliance.
Even now, everyone is still alert to France. If no one takes the lead, the French government will not advise a group of black people.
Unfortunately, it is not the same now. There is one Austria on the European continent that has not been suppressed, and one British outside the Strait.
Once France rejects disarmament, it is likely to be misinterpreted by the outside world, which will easily trigger a new round of international tension.
French representative David Proval countered: ”The sovereignty of an independent country must be respected, but as a responsible country, it must also consider world peace.
Excessive freedom is actually the source of war. For Europe's prosperity and stability, disarmament is imperative. ”
David Proval's words are still very points. France does not oppose disarmament, only the proportion of the French, Russian and Austrian armies.
The pit dug by the British was directly avoided by him perfectly. The focus of the controversy was pulled back.
Reasoning and presenting evidence, a new round of rhetoric began again. It is just that the contention this time is not the quantity ratio, but the calculation rules.
Comprehensive consideration seems good, in fact, the most headache is integration. Because the more directions involved, the more problems that arise, and the longer the peeling time.
...
At the same time, a crisis hit the capitalist world.
The cause was the defeat of the Commonwealth, which caused turmoil in London's financial markets.
However, with the efforts of the British government, the debtor was retained, and part of the debt was passed on, reducing financial risks and restoring confidence in the market.
Can't escape Easter, can't escape Halloween.
Despite the existence of the Berlin government, debts are being fulfilled normally. But as the war ended, orders for the factory were gone.
Not only that, there are many companies that failed to deliver the last batch of orders, and the Berlin government defaulted.
The breach of order is a commercial act, and at most it will compensate for a little liquidated damage. To be precise, the deposit is not required.
The sequel to the breach of contract is the backlog of large amounts of supplies. Ordinary products are okay, and how much can be sold back to the civilian market at a reduced price.
Specially produced strategic materials are troublesome, but capital is willing to sell it, but the problem is that there is no buyer at all.
Not only is the problem in Britain, most European countries have a backlog of strategic materials, which is just in time for the great disarmament, and the market demand has dropped sharply.
Production enterprises with weak capital strength are now on the verge of bankruptcy because of a large backlog of goods.
It is not just these companies that produce strategic materials that have been impacted. Almost all walks of life have been affected.
After the war, export orders decreased, and companies that started from export trade had to turn around and rob the domestic market, and market competition became cruel.
Overcapacity has become a common problem in the capitalist world. In order to survive, companies start to show their magical powers, and discount promotions are indispensable.
Taking Austria as an example, the prices of various domestic commodities have fallen after the war. Among them: the price of daily necessities has fallen by 24%, the price of clothing goods has fallen by 31.6%, the price of hardware goods has fallen by 18.5%, and the price of machinery and equipment has fallen 9.8%, food prices fell 6.4% ...
Falling prices are not necessarily a good thing. Behind falling prices is also accompanied by brutal market competition.
Looking at recent economic data, Franz knew the economy was coming.
Now most companies are gnashing their teeth. Once the market does not improve for a long time, weak SMEs will take the lead.
Once the wave of bankruptcy occurs, the economic situation will deteriorate sharply.
Putting down the information in his hand, Franz sighed: ”Notify the cabinet and the head of the economic department to come to the meeting.”
