In the end, after some bargaining, the Allies reached a new consensus. The crisis of internal division in 23 was finally passed. After a long and arduous negotiation with the Allies, the two sides re-negotiated on some key issues. Finally,

The entire North African and Mediterranean areas were disposed of as follows. Disposal results from west to east are as follows.

Spain takes back Gibraltar, but the land cannot be used to build any military facilities. The forts and bunkers left by the British army and various temporary warehouses and other facilities subsequently built by the Allies must be demolished. No army from any country can be stationed within 20 kilometers of the coastline.

area. Similarly, the coast of Morocco, across the sea from Gibraltar, will also be subject to such restrictions. Spain occupied parts of southern Morocco for 15 years and at the same time withdrew from Portugal.

The western part of the French colony of Algiers was preserved. Italy occupied part of the eastern part of Algiers and withdrew its troops from Tunisia. The island of Malta was owned by Italy, but Italy could not build any new military facilities on the island. Egypt would exist as an independent country,

No country can be Egypt's

Protectorate, and the Suez Canal will be under international co-management, and its profits will be shared by Britain and Germany. No military facilities can be set up within 20 kilometers on both sides of the canal. After Africa is dealt with, the next step is the Middle East, and the Ottoman Empire will maintain the national boundaries of 1914.

Withdraw from the invaded countries on the Arabian Peninsula.

On June 21, 1919, the peace talks between the Allied Powers and the Entente Powers held in Bern officially came to an end. The two sides signed the Treaty of Berne, which aimed to end the war and redefine the spheres of influence. With the signing of the treaty, countries began to end hostilities.

According to the predetermined plan, the British, American and German troops were the first to act. The British got on the ship and returned to England. The United States, which had originally planned to take advantage of the opportunity, had to accept the reality and began to withdraw its troops, while the German troops retreated.

It is more troublesome. According to the provisions of the treaty, the Germans cannot remove or damage any facilities or public or private property on the territory of the original Allied Powers. During the withdrawal operation, observers composed of the Allied Powers, the Central Powers and China will be responsible for implementation and supervision. In this regard, China

The work is still very good. As long as there is anything in non-German on the items, you will be asked to leave them. It took nearly 3 weeks for the German troops in France to completely evacuate northeastern France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Millions of German troops

and the Austro-Hungarian army returned to the homeland.

At the same time, the two parties' delivery in North Africa also began to be officially implemented. Although North Africa is a vast area, the delivery process is very fast. Compared with Europe, it is just a barren land. It is not very heartbreaking to abandon the French. When time

By August 3, 1919, the Allies and the Entente had completed their obligations under the treaty. The war was over, but there were still many things left.

In this war, tens of millions of people died on both sides. But what is different from history is that the warring countries on the Western Front such as Britain and France lost less people than in history, while Russia lost far more people than in history, and Germany and Austria lost more people than in history.

The Hungarian Empire and other allies also lost less people than in history. That is to say, from a population perspective alone, except for Russia and Turkey, the population losses of other warring countries were less than in history.

But from an economic point of view, the consumption of the countries participating in the war is much greater than in history. After all, the maritime power of both sides in this dimension can be said to be a lose-lose situation. With the use of a large number of armored vehicles by the army, the financial expenditures of various countries have greatly increased. In the case of the United Kingdom,

For example, in history, Britain spent a total of 11.8 billion pounds in World War I and owed the Americans 4.4 billion pounds.

foreign debt. At this level, the British have squandered all 18 billion pounds in 5 years! The debt to the United States has reached nearly 7 billion pounds. But unlike history, the British obviously cannot put this money down.

The cost will be passed on to the Germans! If the United States does not relent, the British will have to pay back every penny one by one!

The British have suffered huge losses, can the Germans be very good? Of course it is impossible, although Germany's performance in this dimension is much stronger than in history! Not only did the war end in a draw, but it also gained gains from Russia

A lot of benefits, but it is a pity that these benefits did not end up in the hands of the Germans. The large amounts of gold and silver collected from the Russian nobility and royal family were almost immediately moved to merchant ships bound for China after being shipped out from Russia.

, in order to support the consumption of the war, the Germans

Almost all the government's gold reserves and plundered hard currency were spent. Not only that, in the end, Germany had to collect gold and silver from the country to pay. This was just a consumption of funds, in order for China to continue to support Germany.

During the war, the Germans also forced the Ottoman Turkish Empire to agree to China's investment and establishment of factories in Mesopotamia. As a time traveler, China had already purchased several important oil-producing areas in later generations. It was ready to be ready as soon as its technological level reached

Let’s start drilling!

By the way, there is another country that must be mentioned, and that is the United States. It can be said that the United States in this dimension has contributed much more than in history, but apart from harvesting a bunch of death notices and debt securities, the United States has nothing

Get anything! What’s even more frightening is that the bonds of Britain, France and other countries may not be redeemable for a long time.

It is undoubtedly a heavy blow to those money-hungry guys on Wall Street! But this time the U.S. government cannot force Britain and France to repay their debts, because this will be a devastating blow to these two countries, and if the other country is forced to the point of desperation,

To the extent that it can be withdrawn, people directly expressed their disapproval. What can the United States do? Is it possible to copy the people and beat them? It is obviously impossible.

Moreover, instead of forcing Britain and France to repay their debts, the United States has to lend more money to these two countries. The reason is very simple. In this Europe, these two countries are the only ones capable of resisting the Allies. And if these two countries both

If it collapses, I'm afraid the United States will have to face the powerful Allied group independently. Germany has always been very interested in the United States' backyard, and South American countries also have certain dissatisfaction with the United States. As an empire trying to become the second empire on which the sun never sets, the United States

The country will naturally not allow others to do petty tricks in its own backyard!

In addition to the two warring parties, China, as the only major country not involved in the war, gained a lot from this war. In terms of gold reserves alone, China almost moved away Germany, Austria-Hungary, Russia, Italy and

Turkey's national treasury, plus a large amount of private gold. The Allies and the Entente

The country's material ordering also promoted China's industrial growth. During the short five-year war, China's industrial output increased by more than 120%! According to the folk saying, as long as you have money to invest in industry, you will definitely make money!

More importantly, China obtained almost all of North Asia from Russia. And North Asia

The construction and development of China also require a large amount of materials and funds. The factories built in China to supply the Allies for the war will not close down due to the loss of customers. They will then switch production to invest in the development of China's new territory. And the factories provided by the Allies

Gold and other hard currency provided enough for China's subsequent construction.

Financial support! In addition, during the war, as another means of paying for materials, various technologies and mechanical equipment also continued to arrive in China. Machinery and technologies that were originally impossible to export in peacetime were replaced by various

A variety of resources, and in this way, it also improves China's technical level!

When the officers and soldiers who participated in the war were glad that they finally returned home alive and saw their long-lost relatives, when the civilians who worked in factories day and night and endured the lack of supplies celebrated the end of the war. When politicians were using this war to fight for power and gain, and to settle accounts.

, the real strategists are thinking about how to fight the next war! Historically, the Germans believed that the Treaty of Versailles

The signing of the treaty was just a truce, and 20 years later they did once again let the war sweep across Europe. And on this plane, the treaty signed in Switzerland was also a truce. The God of War did not leave this world, he just fought

It’s just a nap. The root of the war is still there. Both sides also believe that they have the strength to fight another war, so the war will break out sooner or later.

"What is peace? It's just an interval between two wars!" Although this sentence is very harsh, it is true! Germany and Austria feel lucky, although this war is much longer and more consuming than they expected.

It was a lot of things and a lot more difficult at the same time, but in the end they still won. The large amount of land and resources obtained from the collapsed Russia allowed Germany and Austria to quickly restore their strength. They were not afraid of the war that would happen in the future! Even even in the

Not long after the contract was signed, the German navy and army departments had already begun to consider formulating a new combat plan!

Britain and France are licking their wounds. This war will definitely do more harm than good to them. The situation on the Western Front is the same as when the war started, but they have lost a strong ally. However, Britain and France have not lost their fighting spirit! Because at this moment there is a more powerful one

The allies are firmly on their side! The name of this ally is the United States! Not only did the United States not add insult to injury,

Asking Britain and France to repay their debts to the United States, they continued to spend large amounts of money to support these countries. Of course, these help were definitely not free. Britain and France needed to use their own markets and some important overseas islands in exchange. For example, during World War II,

Diego Garcia, which was just handed over to the United States, had already fallen into American hands in 1920.

History moves forward according to huge inertia. After one war, there will inevitably be two wars. But what is unexpected is that this inertia is greater than in history. The war has just ended, and even the retired soldiers have not been fully arranged. An arms race has just begun.

After quietly opening, "Although the war is over, the navy

The Admiral-class battleship has not been able to show its talents, but for the Royal Navy that is in trouble, this super battleship with a displacement of up to 38,000 tons will lead the Royal Navy back to its peak!" General Jericho, Commander of the Royal Navy's Grand Fleet, commented.

This battleship is about to enter service!
