With Li Xiaofeng's urinary nature, is there a possibility of his own hard work to open up the land and let others gain it? He was busy with his clothes and spent a lot of energy on the inside and outside, and then just to make it cheaper for Poland and Czechoslovakia. Is it good if there is no such internationalist model worker?

Whether it is Poland or Czechoslovakia, it is just Li Xiaofeng's bargaining chips to attack Luxembourg and Li Poker Nessi. Before, he was revealing information to support Poland and Czechoslovakia's territorial requirements for Pomerania and Silesia, but that was just giving information. To put it bluntly, it's just a trait.

The characteristic of the gossip is that its authenticity is doubtful, which may be true or false. For a master like Li Xiaofeng who releases gossip, he can make the gossip not true at a certain period of time, and it is even more true than real gold. However, once the goal is achieved, this person can instantly turn against others and turn the real gold into trash iron.

In the reality, Poland and Czechoslovakians were fooled and acted as pawns for a fairy to capture the city and put a lot of pressure on Luxembourg and Li Poker Nessi. Just imagine, if the Soviet Union directly made territorial demands on Germany, even if Germany was a defeated country, Germany would gain sympathy from the international community, and everyone would regard the Soviet Union as an invader. However, if Poland and Czechoslovakia were proposed to Germany, then international public opinion would be completely different. Everyone would only feel that the demands of Poland and Czechoslovakia were in line with each other.

What Li Xiaofeng had to do was to use this so-called reasonableness to force the Germans to make concessions, and not to make the Soviet Union slut out of trouble. This is the most advanced performance technique on the international political stage. Those who master this technique are generally either big heroes or big devils. As for whether a certain immortal is a hero or a devil, he himself doesn't care at all.

Obviously, in the face of the territorial demands of Poland and Czechoslovakia, the Germans cannot say no as firmly as they reject the Soviet Union. After all, international public opinion always stands on the side of the so-called victims. If Germany and the Soviet Union stand together, if the Soviet Union uses strong ones, then Germany will be the victims. And Germany stands together with Poland and Czechoslovakia, the Germans do nothing, and the victims are the two.

So when the rumors about Silesia and Pomerania were widely circulated, Luxembourg and Li Pokerneci were really powerless. There was almost no means to stop the Poles and Czechoslovaks. Since ancient times, the two families have some theory that they can make a move. After all, the Germans themselves did not come out of the openly. Silesia is the most typical example. When the Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI died, there was no male heir, but only one daughter Tracia. The Holy Roman Emperor left a "State Order" before his death to leave the inheritance of various territories in his empire to Tracia.

Here we will explain the inheritance rights of each territory. Why did Charles VI leave the inheritance rights of each territory instead of the throne to his daughter? One question is that the throne of the Holy Roman Empire can only be inherited by men. Tracia is not qualified to inherit this position. However, Charles VI was unwilling to fall into the hands of outsiders, so he played a trick in disguise, leaving the position of the Hungarian king and the Grand Duke of Oliti (Austria had no king before the Holy Roman Empire was overturned by Napoleon, only the Grand Duke, which was a grand duke) to Tracia (the laws of these two countries allow women to inherit). According to Charles VI's arrangement, after his death, the short throne of the Holy Roman Empire will be inherited by Tracia's husband, former Duke of Lorraine, while Tracia actually controls Hungary and Austria.

It should be said that this arrangement took great painstaking efforts. If it could be achieved, it would indeed help maintain the rule of the Habsburg family and the stability of the Holy Roman Empire. However, the problem lies in the fact that Germany has always been a mess. The medieval Holy Roman Empire emperors were "electioned" by the seven electoral emperors (actually bought with money). The Habsburg family also spent countless money and energy to retain the title of emperor.

In the era of Queen Tracia, the southern part of Germany was a little more stable. The Habsburg family controlled Hungary and Austria. The one who could compete for the throne with them was the Bavarian Elector (King of Bohemia), represented by the Vettelsbach family. Although Prussia in the north rose very quickly, the title of emperor was basically unrequited to them (so Frederick II was never a great emperor. He was just the king of Prussia. It was more appropriate to call him King Frederick, isn't it very lo).

Charles VI was dead. Although he left a "State Order of State" which seemed to have achieved harmony within Germany, what he did not expect was that people would leave and tea was cold. It was one thing when he was alive, and it was another thing when he died.

As soon as Charles VI died, the Bavarian elector, who had been interested in the throne of the Holy Roman Empire, took advantage of the conflict between the princes and the Habsburg family in Germany and made trouble. He overturned the "State Order" and won the throne of the Holy Roman Empire. Of course, there was also the most famous spoiled stick King Frederick's rebellion. This guy took advantage of Charles VI's death and Tracia could not control the situation, and suddenly attacked Silesia and grabbed the territory.

Why is Frederick a counterattack? Because when Charles VI was here, this person did not have such a face. At that time, he was the good cousin of Charles VI's good son, Tracia. For a while, this person was likely to marry this cousin who would be his lifelong enemy. However, Tracia married Franz Stephen, the politically useless Duke of Lorraine, as mentioned earlier.

Why is it said to be the former Duke of Lorraine? Because Franz Stephen was originally the first heir to the Duke of Lorraine, but because he wanted to marry the daughter of the Holy Roman Emperor, the future Hungarian king and the Austrian female grand duke, if he did not give up the right of inheritance, then it is very likely that the Duke of Lorraine would fall into the hands of the Habsburg family in the future. Out of balance, Franz Stephen could only give up the right of inheritance and enter the Habsburg family by "marriage".

In "The State Order", Franz Stephen should have won the title of emperor as the short seller, but as soon as Charles VI died, the electors refused to admit it. The first person to cause trouble was Frederick. As soon as the old emperor died, Frederick, who was originally the protector of Tracia, was the first to stand up and slander. He asked his cousin to give Silesia to him, and then he supported Tracia's husband to be the emperor and helped her settle the Bavarian electoral.

Please note that Frederick is a very thick and dark guy. He expected that Tracia, who has strong personality, would not agree to this request, so while making the request, the other person sent troops directly.

Let me put it this way, the Prussian king took advantage of the internal strife of the Holy Roman Empire to grab a piece of fat for himself (but it also laid the root of the war in the next seven years), and gained the permanent hostility of his cousin Tracia.

Of course, in the end, Prussia ate most of the fat meat in Silesia, and the Holy Roman Empire lost Silesia. Let me talk about Tracia again. This queen was quite powerful. After the initial failure, she quickly made a comeback, forcing the Bavarian elected Emperor Charles VII to death. She also forced Charles VII's son Maximilian III to give up the right of inheritance and helped his husband to the emperor. She also snatched the title of Bohemia, who originally belonged to the Vittersbach family. The queen later gave birth to 16 children, the more famous of which were later the Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II (the emperor was famous for his bad relationship with his mother and reforms, and he admired King Frederick very much) and Marie Antoinette.

Some comrades may ask, is this Marie Antoinette ho? I haven't heard of it at all! I should have heard of it. This famous person is in the history textbook, but her reputation is not very good. She is the queen of Louis XVI, the queen of Mary who was sent to the guillotine in the future. The French Revolution is bound to have the contribution of this queen. If it weren't for her extravagant life (known as Lady of Deficit) that the French finances almost went bankrupt and had to hold a third-level meeting to discuss tax increases, the French Revolution would probably not have come so quickly.

Back to the topic, in the face of the territorial requirements of Poland and Czechoslovakia, both Luxembourg and Li Poker Nessi seemed a little helpless. The road before them seemed to be only one way to cede the land and seek the sum.

But at this critical moment, Li Xiaofeng took action. He said: "The Soviet Union fully respects Germany's territorial integrity and opposes changing the existing territory by any unilateral means. However, in order to calm the national sentiment of Poland and Czechoslovakia, on this issue, we can only ask the German government to make certain concessions. Then everyone takes a step back and end the dispute."

Luxembourg immediately asked, "How can we take a step back?"

Li Xiaofeng replied: "My initial vision is to cede a small part of Silesia and western Pomerania to Czechoslovakia and Poland to calm their rising national sentiment, while Poland and Czechoslovakia give up their sovereignty claims and some war reparations against Pomerania and Silesia."

Luxembourg was about to say that this was acceptable, but Li Xiaofeng told her not to interrupt first. After listening to him, he said: "As for the remaining Silesia and Pomerania, they were independent from the German Federation and became an independent sovereign state."

Lucepo and Li Pokernesi were both confused and did not expect that a certain immortal would come like this. They had thought that Silesia and Pomerania would remain within the framework of the Federal Germany, so why did they make their independence in the blink of an eye?

To be honest, Luxembourg and Lee Poker Nessi were not feeling well, and he didn't understand why Silesia and Pomerania had to be independent.

Li Xiaofeng explained patiently: "Silesia and Pomerania are both ethnic conflicts and disputes. The ethnic and religious conflicts in the region are complex and involve several surrounding countries. You have also seen that Poland and Czechoslovakia have sovereignty claims over the region. If Silesia and Pomerania continue to remain within the framework of the Federal Germany, can Poland and Czechoslovakia agree?"

After a pause, Li Xiaofeng continued to persuade: "Although my method is not a particularly good method, it can avoid conflicts and conflicts between you three countries. At present, only when Silesia and Pomerania are independent can people speak."

Luxembourg and Li Poker Nessi thought about it carefully for a while, and felt that someone's words had some truth. No matter who Silesia and Pomerania belonged to, the other two countries would have opinions. From the perspective of the Germans, it would be better to let Silesia and Pomerania be independent and let no one get it. Moreover, Silesia and Pomerania became independent and could explain to the people, which was a painful choice that had to be made to avoid the annexation of Poland and Czechoslovakia. In this way, Luxembourg and Li Poker Nessi could explain, at least they would not have to take the blame for the traitors. The German people might think that under such an unfavorable situation, Luxembourg and Li Poker Nessi stubbornly resisted the "invasion" of Poland and Czechoslovakia, which was really not easy.

What's more, Li Xiaofeng has promised to come later. He said: "Given that Silesia and Pomeranian German citizens have many citizens and have always belonged to the German nation. Therefore, after Silesia and Pomerania's independence, the Soviet Union will ensure the personal and property safety of local German citizens. They can continue to live in Pomerania and Silesia, and they can even continue to retain German nationality."

This promise made Luxembourg and Lee Pokernecy even happier. They were a little worried that this so-called independence was a trick played by the Russians. Once Pomerania and Silesia declared independence, the Soviet Red Army that controlled the local area would immediately begin to clear traces of Germany, such as driving away the Germans who lived in the local area for generations. If this is guaranteed, then it is indeed a good way to make Silesia and Pomerania independent.

Li Xiaofeng has been paying attention to the expressions of Luxembourg and Li Pokernesi and their eye contact. Before, no matter what he said, these two were very alert, which shows that they were wary of the Soviet Union. And these two were obviously relieved just now, and I am afraid they were quite satisfied with this plan.

Of course, being satisfied does not mean accepting immediately, nor does it mean there are no other questions. Luxembourg asked again: "So what are the work in Czechoslovakia and Poland?"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "This will be carried out by you and us. The Soviet government mainly serves as a bridge and will try its best to convince the Polish and Czechoslovak governments to accept this plan. If they do not accept it, we can only start over."

Luxembourg and Li Poker Nessie nodded and said nothing, but Li Xiaofeng knew that Luxembourg did not completely believe him. The question just now was actually a disguised temptation. If he had taken over the work of convincing Poland and Czechoslovakia, and showed great confidence, Luxembourg would definitely suspect that this was the trap he set. Fortunately, Li Xiaofeng was no longer a rookie in this field, and answered this question very reasonably and temporarily stabilized Luxembourg.

Of course, this is just to temporarily stabilize Luxembourg. With her political wisdom, she will inevitably verify in many ways. She will test the attitudes of Poland and Czechoslovakia to see if there are any traps. Only after confirming that this is not the Soviet Union was making trouble will Luxembourg agree to the independence of Pomerania and Silesia.

However, as the saying goes, the Tao is one foot taller than the devil is one foot taller. Li Xiaofeng had long expected that things would not be so simple, so the previous small moves were really seamless, not that they were not at all. It might be difficult to deceive an old fox like Lierwen, but there is no problem to deceive Luxembourg and others.

When Luxembourg and Li Poker Nessi held several rounds of talks with Poland and Czechoslovakia, and when Luxembourg could not find any flaws, she could only agree with Li Xiaofeng's plan.

According to this plan, a small part of the territory in eastern Pomerania, close to Poland, was assigned to Poland, while two other small pieces of territory in southern and eastern Silesia were assigned to Czechoslovakia and Poland respectively. Although these three pieces of land were not large, they were symbolic for Poland and Czechoslovakia. Because this means that Germany gave up on them, making the national pride of the two countries rise slowly.

Of course, Germany has not lost its harvest, that is, Germany has negotiated the total amount of war reparations and the method of compensation with Czechoslovakia and Poland respectively. According to the relevant agreement, Germany will pay US$100 million in compensation to Czechoslovakia, of which 50 million is offset by various materials and Silesian territory. The remaining half will be paid in 50 years. The total amount of compensation from Germany to Poland is US$150 million, which is also half of which is paid in kind and land, and the other half is paid in fifty years.

This is far from the $1 billion request for Poland and Czechoslovakia, with a total amount of only $250 million, which is only one quarter of the previous one. This is much easier for the Germans. By the way, the compensation for the Soviet Union has also dropped from the previous 10 billion to 5 billion. Moreover, in these 5 billion, Germany's remaining arms were worth $300 million, and other supplies were worth $200 million. Of the remaining 4.5 billion, in the first 20 years, 50 million US dollars were paid annually, totaling 1 billion. The remaining 3.5 billion will be paid off in 35 years by paying 100 million US dollars per year. In this way, Germany's compensation for the Soviet Union, Poland and Czechoslovakia every year is a lot less, which is much easier than the previous move of 200 million to 300 million.

Of course, this only solved part of the problem. Germany also had to pay war reparations to Greece, Britain, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Norway and the United States. However, considering that Britain and the United States did not intend to make too many war reparations from Germany (in 1960, Germany paid 2 billion US dollars to the United Kingdom and 500 million US dollars to the United States), the remaining reparations were small. Among them, Denmark and Norway did not suffer a large loss due to the war, and the compensation was just a matter of meaning. France really needed to pay some blood. After arduous negotiations, Germany reached an agreement with France, Belgium and the Netherlands, and allocated 5 million, 500,000 and 1 million to the three countries each year for a period of 30 years.

Please note that this is not over yet. Yugoslavia, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary and East Prussia are still collecting debts. Yugoslavia demands $200 million in compensation, Greece demands $100 million in compensation, Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary are a little more kind, only $50 million.

However, after the coordination between the Soviet Union and Britain and the United States, Germany paid Greece 60 million, Romania 30 million, and Bulgaria and Hungary 10 million each. As for Yugoslavia, in principle, Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union believed that Germany was enough to accompany 100 million, but Tito bit 200 million and did not let go. In the end, this issue could only be temporarily shelved. Anyway, with the support of the Soviet Union, Germany did not accept Yugoslavia's blackmail and temporarily suspended the relevant negotiations.

Of course, there is another special country that is difficult to deal with, that is, East Prussia. The compensation issue in this country is quite complex, not only including the direct economic losses of East Prussia in the war, but also the losses of the Jews. It is difficult to count the total number. Finally, after the two countries negotiated and reached an agreement in 1955, Germany compensated Israel (East Prussia) a total of US$500 million (state compensation of 400 million and private compensation of 100 million).

As for Yugoslavia, it was not until 1972 that it reached an agreement with Germany and received the 200 million US dollars they wanted, but we know that the US dollar had depreciated at that time, and in fact there was no 200 million US dollars.

Next, we will continue to talk about the affairs of Pomerania and Silesia. With the mediation of the Soviet Union, the four sides finally reached an agreement. Poland and Czechoslovakia no longer struggle with the reparations and the sovereignty of Pomerania and Silesia, while Silesia and Pomerania declared independence through a "referendum" and established the Soviet Socialist Republic of Bohemia and Pomerania.

This new country is particularly interesting in many aspects, such as the first Minister of Defense was Rokosovsky. Yes, it is the Marshal Rokosovsky who everyone knows. In fact, among the first leaders of the country, except for the president and the prime minister are local people, the leaders of some other important departments are Russians. In a sense, the country is a puppet state of the Soviet Union. Of course, in name, the Soviet Union fully respects the sovereignty of the Bohemia and the Pomeranian Soviet Socialist Republic. As for the reality, that is another matter.

The special thing about this country is not that it was actually controlled by the Soviet Union. Its country name is also quite particular, and its suffix is ​​the Soviet Socialist Republic. Please note that this was also very special in Central and Eastern Europe at that time, because the fashionable name of the socialist country was "people" or "democratic Republic". The name Soviet was already an old antique. The reason why it used the name of the Soviet was quite profound... (To be continued.)
