The smaller length of the shell undoubtedly limits the initial velocity and lethality of the ammunition. Is this clause a bit familiar? Yes, in history, Britain and France have restricted the length of the pistol barrels equipped by Germany! This time, the Germans have found it! In order to avoid the British from pressing the army or naval weapons on the plane in the future, the Germans also restricted the specifications of the army and naval automatic weapons......

In the end, the Germans also restricted the British military industry and R&D. The German military will register the current British military enterprises and the equipment in it. The Germans directly confiscated some of the equipment useful to Germany. Other equipment cannot be transferred to other countries or colonies. It is also strictly prohibited that all British autonomous regions independently develop high-level weapons!

Compared with the British Navy and Air Force, Germany has very limited restrictions on the British Army. The reason is very simple. Whether it is the navy's warships or the air force's aircraft engines, these require a complete industrial system to support them. The Germans can suppress the British for a considerable period of time as long as they control several key nodes. But the army is different. The more complicated army technology is artillery and tanks. However, how to say it, in fact, the artillery in World War I has reached a very high level, and a large number of artillery can be used even if they get two wars. As for tanks? To be honest, for Ruprecht, it is not a big problem for restricting or not, because the British tank level is not good in history... The British are good at subsystems, short of integration and overall design, and there are many things to use first-class subsystems to create 2-stream equipment!

As for other equipment, such as guns, communication equipment, and transportation equipment, they either have low technical level or can be developed in the name of civilian use. So, if you really want to limit it, there is a great difficulty, and there is even no way to deal with the number of troops. After all, Germany cannot send a large number of military observers into India, Australia and Canada, right?

Therefore, the ultimate restrictions on the British Army focused more on the development of artillery, tanks, and armored vehicles. The military restrictions stipulate that the number of British local army cannot exceed 100,000. Colonies and dominions cannot be equipped with weapons with a certain weight or specifications. For example, tanks and armored vehicles cannot exceed 15 tons, artillery cannot have cannons with a range of more than 15 kilometers, etc.

Finally, during this day, Germany and Britain finally signed at least 7 contracts and protocols, involving all aspects of the future UK. These contracts and agreements were later called the Berlin system.

"I am definitely the most humiliating prime minister in the history of the British Empire. I feel that I am guilty. When I was born, the British Empire was in the sky. When I became Prime Minister, the British Empire was arrogant. But now, I have witnessed the sunset of the empire and signed a series of agreements that were enough to break the empire. At this moment, my heart was about to break." Afterwards, in Prime Minister Asquith's diary, he described his mood at that time.

After the signing of the peace treaty, all German news agencies declared the great victory of the German Empire to the whole world, and this victory is considered by the world to be a more brilliant victory than the French-Prussian War when Germany was founded! If the efforts of William I, Bismarck and Moltke were only to make the empire unified and prove Germany's status as a world power, then now, after decades, the German Empire once again cleared the way forward with iron and blood, and became the most powerful existence in the world!

"Thank God for letting me be born in this glorious era, and we moved from victory to victory! We have proved to the world that the German Empire is the most powerful country! We are proud to be born in such a country, we work hard, struggle and then succeed! Our efforts have been rewarded. In this world, nothing makes us more excited and proud than defeating a powerful enemy!" The Germans enjoyed the fruits of victory!

"At this moment, even though it is vast and industrial power, the United States of America lost its glory in the face of the victory of the German Empire. The Germans burst out with combat power far higher than their national strength. They had a group of wise generals and tens of millions of warriors who were willing to fight for the rise of the empire. They did things that ordinary people could not imagine. They ended an era and created a new era." On the next day, even in the United States across the ocean, some media also exclaimed. Of course, the meaning was very complicated! After all, the Germans had just ended a war, and the Americans were about to start another war!

Compared with the unprecedented celebration ceremony held by Berlin, Germany, when signing a contract with the British, the German government was very low-key when signing a contract with the French government. It did not promote anything, and even the process of signing the treaty seemed a bit hasty. This incident even made some people in Germany show some dissatisfaction with Ruprecht's arrangement.

"Even if France was not the most harmful to the empire in this war, it brought us huge losses. As winners, we have the right to order the losers to show their humility and respect to the winners." At a high-level meeting in Germany, General Hellingen, who served as the Minister of the Prussian War, expressed his dissatisfaction to Ruprecht very obscurely.

"The purpose of war is for profit, not simply stepping on opponents to show your sense of superiority to satisfy your vanity," said the crown prince. "Do you have any objections to the terms of the contract signed by the Empire and France?"

"No objection." Hellingen thought for a while and said. Although Ruprecht assisted the negotiations, the final clause was also approved by the German Emperor and the Imperial Parliament. If Hellingen said he had any objections, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?

"Since we have decided to forgive the French and have gained the favor of the French through a series of exchanges of interests, it is like we have already taken most of a journey and are just one last step away. Why don't we stick to it?" the crown prince asked back.

Compared with the complex treaty system with Britain, contracts with France are much simpler and very relaxed. There are only four basic contents in the "German Empire and the French Republic's Berlin Peace Treaty".
