“Haha, Hans really had a falling out with the Russian Bear. I said it, the two countries are not the same kind of people, how long can they be in cahoots with each other?
Look, isn’t this a complete breakup? Retribution, retribution!”
The news reached the British Empire, and many high-ranking officials of the British Empire government were gloating and laughing at Hans and the Russian Bear. The same situation also occurred in Gaul.
For the British Empire and Gaul, they were the victors of the First World War and the makers of the post-war world order, while the Russian Bear and Hans were an abandoned baby abandoned by the world, and an orphan isolated after the defeat. Both countries were the type that were not liked by others. They colluded with each other, which was simply a nest of snakes and rats, and they were in cahoots with each other!
Since the two countries colluded with each other in 1920, The British Empire and the Gauls were not optimistic about the relationship between the two countries. After all, they were fighting fiercely on the battlefield one moment, and the next second, the situation suddenly changed and they became close friends?
How is this possible?
The existence of the bear means that the east of Hans will face huge expansion pressure. The conflict between them is inevitable and will break out sooner or later!
However, they have waited for several years and have not waited for the break between the two countries. Just when they gradually lost patience and gave up paying attention to this matter, the relationship between the two countries suddenly broke down!
This is a bit unexpected, too sudden!
“Since the Russian bear has broken up with Hans, shouldn’t we take the opportunity to win over the Russian bear, offer him some benefits, let him join our camp and help us fight against Hans?”
When seeing that the relationship between the Russian bear and Hans had become strained, someone in the British Empire made a suggestion.
But this proposal was immediately rejected!
“No, absolutely not!”
“Why? Wouldn’t it be nice to have another force to help us contain Hans?”
“Stupid, Hans’s fight with us is only a fight over the distribution of interests, while the fight with the Russian bear is a matter of life and death. If the Russian bear becomes stronger, do you think our country can still be stable?”
This sentence was unanimously recognized by everyone. Although Hans’ national system is slightly different from that of the British Empire, it is basically the Western system. But the Russian bear is different. This is a red Russian bear, and their national system is completely different from that of the Western world!
So for Western countries, especially industrial countries with tens of millions of workers in the country, their fear of the Russian bear is from the bone marrow!
They know very well in their hearts that the conflict with Hans is due to the uneven distribution of interests. Everyone wants to eat more cake, but there is only so much cake, so they have to go to war to determine who gets the big head and who gets the small head.
But the Russian bear is not here to divide the cake, the Russian bear is here to stir up trouble. The table!
Once the Russian bears become strong, they will surely export revolution abroad. By then, Western countries, especially those with a large number of factories and workers, will be turned upside down by their own workers and will be in turmoil!
This is much more serious than Hans wanting to divide the relationship with them. This is a matter of life and death! If they fight with Hans, even if they lose, they will only lose. But if they fight with the Russian bears, if they lose, they will not even live!
In this case, it is understandable that Western countries are extremely afraid of the Russian bears and are willing to unite to send troops to interfere in the civil war of the Russian bears when the Russian bears are the weakest!
At this time, because the Russian bears are gradually consolidating their regime, Their strength is growing day by day, making it impossible for Western countries to continue to suppress the Russian bear. However, this does not mean that they have no intention to continue suppressing the Russian bear!
After the failure of the interference war against the Russian bear, Western countries united to isolate the Russian bear internationally and suppress the Russian bear in order to squeeze the Russian bear out of the circle of friends of various countries, so that the Russian bear cannot obtain advanced technology and equipment from Western countries, and can only lag behind and decline forever!
If they try to win over the Russian bear to fight against Hans at this time, then all their previous work will be in vain!
Moreover, letting the Russian bear defeat Hans is definitely not good news for them, because the Russian bear is stronger than Hans. It’s even more terrifying. Once they win, the next country to face the threat of the Russian bear will be themselves!
So in a sense, Western countries still have to rely on Hans to block the attack of the Russian bear, and it would be best if they could turn their guns around and fight the Russian bear. As long as the two countries can fight, it will be the best situation for Western countries!
By then, Hans and the Russian bear will have consumed a lot of national strength in the war, and Hans will not be able to continue to threaten the world order they have established, and the Russian bear will not be able to export revolution abroad and will not threaten their rule!
Thinking of this, politicians from both countries began to get excited: Is there any way to provoke a war between the two countries?
……
Before the two countries could make a move, Hans took the lead!
After receiving the news that Russia had cut off its oil supply to the country, Hans immediately announced that it would exploit its own oil in the North Sea region, and at the same time increase oil imports from Romania and the United States to fill the gap left by Russia cutting off its oil exports to Hans.
This statement did not seem like a sign of submission to Russia, but rather escalated the situation!
After learning of Hans’ statement, the Russians panicked!
Oil exports are the bulk of their foreign exchange earnings, and they originally cut off oil exports to Hans just to teach Hans a lesson and force Hans to make concessions, so as to achieve their own goals.
Unexpectedly, Hans did not accept the threat at all, and they immediately found a way to crack it!
“This won’t do. If Hans doesn’t import from us, in as little as two months, we will lose the important foreign exchange earning channel of oil exports and will not be able to maintain the trade balance!”
The Minister of Commerce and Trade in the Bear said to Starling worriedly. He didn’t understand. Just for a momentary dispute, the industrial operation of the entire country was brought to a standstill. Is this price really worth it?
Hans is the Bear’s most important trading partner. The various mechanical equipment and parts they export to the Bear are irreplaceable products, while the various resources and food they export to Hans are replaceable products.
After Hans cut off the import of food from them, it immediately found substitutes in Central Europe. Agricultural products from Hungary, Czech Republic and other countries began to enter Hans’ market in large quantities. Hans even bought a large amount from the Eagle Sauce. Agricultural products completely filled the gap left by Russia!
In this world, the largest food producer is not Russia, but the United States. The United States has millions of square kilometers of plains and the largest arable land area in the world. Their farms are highly mechanized and industrialized, and the output is extremely high!
Originally during World War I, the United States was an important food exporter to European countries, but because the United States was too far away from Europe, the cost of sea transportation plus the time cost and the high tariffs imposed by European countries on the United States made the United States’ food not very competitive in Europe, especially when Russia was selling food at crazy low prices, that’s why Hans didn’t buy food from the United States.!
However, at this time, affected by the economic crisis, the price of food in the United States plummeted. A large amount of food products could not be exported and could only be discarded in the warehouse to rot. So when Hans proposed to import food, the United States was naturally ecstatic!
They packed the food at a lower price and even prepared the ship for Hans. Except that the transportation time was a little longer, the quality and price of imported food from the United States were much better than those from the Russians!
Therefore, after Hans tasted the sweetness of the food from the United States, he completely lost interest in importing food from the Russians. This was definitely not good news for the Russians. Because it means that they have completely lost Hans, a huge market with a population of 86 million!
At this time, seeing that after they cut off the oil exports to Hans, Hans immediately found Eagle Sauce again, and was preparing to exploit its own oil fields, some knowledgeable people in the country of the bear began to get nervous!
They are worried that if what happened to food is repeated in oil, then they will probably completely lose the huge market of Hans, the world’s second largest oil consumer and the world’s largest oil importer!
