Chapter 0642 Invitation of the Regent
ps: 629 can’t be lifted even after two attempts, so it looks like the entire chapter needs to be rewritten.

Continue to hold Japanese bonds, strengthen control over Japanese industries, and let all the money earned by the Japanese go into their own pockets.
This is the plan of the old Americans and the British, and the plan is progressing smoothly. 60% of Japan's manufacturing industry is under the control of the United States and Britain.
At the same time, Japan's industrial development speed is increasing day by day, and a large number of new technologies and production equipment are continuously shipped to this island country from the sea.
The Japanese seem to have no ability to resist this. They are just devaluing the yen while striving for preferential prices and increasing exports to reduce domestic economic pressure.

"If this continues, will Japan still be able to go to war?" Mary asked while sitting on the most primitive exercise bike while exercising.
Li Zitao was practicing flying birds with dumbbells, but it seemed a bit too easy for him. "Japan is a country with perverted ideas, who knew!"
Saying this is a bit deliberately derogatory. Japanese thinking is not so much a perversion as an absolute respect for the strong.
The servility that penetrates into the bones inspires strong inferiority, creates distorted arrogance, and integrates into the complex race formed by classes in every corner of society.
Having said that, every nation is complicated.
"I really hope the war can end soon...care funds will be officially launched in Gangjiang next month. Do you want to go with me?" Mary stopped and wiped her sweat with a towel.
"I'm going to disappoint you, my dear... I'm going to Poland tomorrow, and the itinerary has been decided." Li Zitao put down the dumbbells, hugged his wife and said softly.
"Poland?" Mary asked curiously.
"Well, Germany's movements are very disturbing. Britain, France and the United States can just sit back and watch, but some people can't sit still." Li Zitao said with a smile.
Poland, which was the "flash point" of World War II, was also sad. After disappearing for 120 years, Poland finally reappeared when the Austro-Hungarian Empire collapsed during World War I.
But he was caught between the giants of Germany and the Soviet Union, and was squeezed and suppressed every day.
The eastern region that Germany lost in World War I became the western part of Poland. Its ally, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, directly fell apart. Not to mention how angry it felt.
The Soviet Union's territorial losses were even more severe, including the Polish District, Finland's independence, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.
After losing these pieces, the Soviet Union almost completely lost its access to the Atlantic Ocean, and the strategic impact was extremely serious.
There is also the Soviet-Polish War 16 years ago, which has brought hatred to both countries. The two "strongmen" of Germany and the Soviet Union have long been dissatisfied with Poland.
If we go further, during the period of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, as a European superpower, its attitude towards neighboring countries was to kill them all.
Whether it is the East Slavs who have not yet established a country and were almost exterminated, or the Prussians who are in the process of division, they are all the same.
Even the small countries around him, such as Switzerland and Denmark, are not spared. He is a typical example of someone who does not know what restraint means and wants to kill everyone.
After returning from the First World War, the country did not learn its lessons. It still fantasized about its former strength, wanted to restore the land it occupied when it was strong, and took advantage of Germany and the Soviet Union again.
The Soviet Union was happy when it invaded and occupied Western Lithuania and Western Belarus. It couldn't find any reason to beat you to death, so you took the lead on your own.
Let’s not start a civil war. Let’s kill this stupid kid first.
The Soviet-Polish war was so exciting that the old man jumped up and down with joy.
Therefore, throughout the European continent, Poland has always been a typical representative of betrayal and taking advantage of others' misfortune.
If it weren't for the support of France, it would have been destroyed countless times, and it is still thinking about restoring the country?
This is also the reason why Poland was the first to be divided between the two countries at the beginning of the war.
The factor that triggered World War II was the issue of reparations that was unacceptable to Germany.
According to the war reparations provisions of World War I, the German government needed to pay 269 billion gold marks in compensation, equivalent to 96,000 tons of gold. What is its current value converted into?
Taking 282 yuan per gram of gold as an example, 96,000 tons = 96,000 tons = 96000000000 grams = 96 billion grams.
The total value is 282x96 billion, which is approximately equal to 27 trillion yuan.
Compared with the compensation of 230 million taels of silver to Japan during the Sino-Japanese War of 1888-1894, the Xinchou Treaty compensated the Eight-Power Allied Forces 450 million taels of silver.
According to the current price comparison, silver is 2% of gold, and Germany’s compensation in World War I was more than 400 times that of China’s Xinchou Treaty.
In fact, the First World War never ended, as Foch, the French allied commander at the time, predicted: "This is not peace, this is a 20-year truce."
France suffered the greatest losses in World War I. It wanted to continue to weaken Germany through huge reparations, but it ultimately backfired.
The little man's rise to high positions step by step was directly related to the anger of the Germans over the reparations, which also contributed to the establishment of the NC government.
As for the United States and the United States, they sat back and watched Poland being carved up because, in their view at the time, maintaining U.S.-Soviet relations was much more serious than Poland's border issues.
This time Li Zitao went to Poland to meet with Joseph Piłsudski, known as the "Prince Regent" of Poland.
Poland's current situation is very bad. It wanted to extend the "non-aggression peace treaty" with the Soviet Union, but the other party found reasons to refuse.
We did sign a new 'non-aggression treaty' with the little man, but judging from the trends in Germany, there is no guarantee in that thing.
Due to domestic economic reasons, the French have limited funding for Poland. If they want to ease relations with the United Kingdom, the proud British will not tolerate them at all.
Piłsudski was aware of the danger, but suffered from lack of funds to modernize and arm the troops, so he somehow found Li Zitao's head.
After getting in touch with SHIELD, Piłsudski personally invited Li Zitao to meet him in Poland.
"Our people have found out that Piłsudski's health has deteriorated rapidly and he is now living in the Belvedere Palace in Warsaw."
All this news came back from Poland. When it withdrew from Germany, S.H.I.E.L.D. left a lot of people in Poland, Switzerland and other places, and they just came in handy now.
"Let's go!" Li Zitao was also ready.
It was not easy to go to Poland. They first went to France, then from France to Switzerland, Austria, then through the Czech Republic, and finally arrived in Warsaw, Poland.
When the two Gulfstreams landed on the Warsaw military runway, it was already the fifth day after departure.
"Mr. Li, welcome to Warsaw. I am Zelles, and I am here to greet you on behalf of His Excellency Piłsudski." A colonel named Zelles stepped forward immediately.
"Thank you, Lord Piłsudski for the arrangement." Li Zitao said with a slight smile.
