Chapter 1158： Not too big (1/2)

After a lot of verbal battles and interest transactions, on June 16, 1905, countries around the world signed the ”Vienna Agreement” in Vienna, and the world war came to a successful conclusion.

The content of the treaty is generally good for most countries. Even if it is against the defeated country, the handling is not harsh.

The countries that withdrew from the war and jumped to the job now barely count as a member of the Continental Alliance and are no longer held accountable for war.

Only the three countries of Britain, Japan and the United States are really held accountable. The most miserable natural British empire, as the main force of the world war, directly lost a lot of money.

The content of the treaty is as follows:

1. The defeated countries (Britain, Japan, and the United States) recognized their defeat in the war and took full responsibility for the world war;

2. Ceded all colonies to the Continental Alliance;

(Respectively: Shenluo obtained British Australia, Canada, New Zealand, parts of the Indochina Peninsula, and overseas islands, including: Hawaii, Madagascar, Sri Lanka and other regions;

Spain reclaims the Strait of Gibraltar;

West, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, Northern Europe, Sardinia, Greece... and other countries jointly carve up British India;

...)

3. Pay 66 billion Aegis of war indemnities, pay the principal and interest in 99 years, and pay five thousandths of the monthly profit; (respectively: Britain 33 billion, the United States of 32.5 billion, and Japan 500 million)

(The distribution is as follows: 79.6% of the Holy Roman Empire, 8.8% of the Russian Empire, 4.9% of Spain, 3.5% of the Netherlands, 0.7% of Belgium...)

Note: Taking into account the financial situation of various countries, the annual repayment only needs to be no less than 15% of the government's fiscal revenue. The outstanding part will automatically accumulate and the interest will be compounded.

4. In order to maintain world peace and stability, the defeated country shall not develop any military industry, and all weapons and equipment shall be purchased from the continental alliance countries;

5. The armed forces of the defeated country must be limited to not disrupting the regional balance, including the armed forces, police, militia and other armed forces. The size of the armed forces is approved by the upcoming international alliance every year;

6. Since the signing of the treaty, the countries will complete the handover within one year, and the troops of Britain, Japan and the United States will all withdraw to their homeland;

7. From the date of signing the treaty, within one month the countries began to exchange prisoners of war, and the extra prisoners would pay the ransom in accordance with international practice;

...

There are a total of more than 100 entries in total, and the content is a lot more, but compared to the punishment on the French in the past, it is still a lot lighter.

The French surrendered too late to blame. When the British surrendered, they still had a Royal Navy in their hands. When the French surrendered, the coalition forces were almost in Paris.

Of course, this is only a superficial reason. The fundamental reason is that the French are even more threatened, and the British who hang alone overseas lose their colonies at all.

Looking at the content of the treaty, you know that even the Royal Navy Vienna government is not interested in including it. Everyone knows the reason, and the landlord’s family has no more food.

The size of the Shinra Navy is huge enough. From now on, it will be the era of aircraft carriers. When a bunch of outdated battleships are brought back, apart from pulling them out for shooting, they can only dismantle and sell scrap iron.

After the war, the British couldn't afford it, and even the world couldn't find a country that could afford it. The annual maintenance cost alone exceeded the fiscal revenue of most countries.

No one would ask for a teary sale. Subject to the Vienna Treaty, Britain will lose its military industry after the war, which means that the spare parts are out of print.

For most countries, buying such disposable warships back is purely taking up space.

Small potential also has benefits of small potential. After paying the cost of colonies, war indemnities, and the military industry, Britain successfully saved the British Isles.

It's just that this success is only temporary. Five years later, there will be an Irish referendum, a Scottish referendum, and a Welsh referendum waiting for them.

The ability to extend the referendum by five years is the result of the efforts of the British government. Who caused them to offend many people in the past?

The Vienna government was bought, but other countries were unwilling to let them go. It is conceivable that the British Isles will be destined to be unstable in the next few years.

A Britain, with its hands and feet trapped, obviously cannot deter nations. Retaliation and grievances are naturally indispensable.

Anyway, no matter how big the trouble is, Britain, as a defeated country, cannot provoke a war to retaliate.

The other terms are nothing, but the compensation is the most eye-catching. It's not that the amount is huge. Compared to France's indemnity that year, the British are still several billion less.

What is really surprising is the distribution of compensation in the three countries of Britain, the United States and Japan. The Japanese only paid 500 million, which everyone can understand.

The Japanese government is already very poor, and 500 million Aegis has been their fiscal revenue for more than ten years. No matter how much it is, it is really too much debt.

What's more, although the Japanese were on the wrong team, they also made great contributions in the fight against the Russians.

It's just this kind of credit that can't be brought to the table. It should also be taken care of, not to mention that they have lost all of their colonies and their armaments are also restricted.

It's just this kind of preferential treatment that the Japanese government probably won't appreciate it. It is estimated that once the contents of the treaty spread, it is time for the Tianzhu country thief again.

In contrast, it is extremely unfriendly to the United States. The same is an accomplice, the Japanese pay 500 million, they will pay 32.5 billion, almost the same treatment as the British.

Needless to say, this is again the result of insider trading. The total amount of compensation of 66 billion is jointly determined by the Continental Alliance, but the distribution of the war compensations of the three countries is the result of the activities of the three countries.

For the purpose of splitting the relationship between the three countries, the Vienna government deliberately indulged all of this. In the end, it was naturally the vicious British that won and succeeded in dumping half of the debt to its allies.
