s: Something happened at the company yesterday.
Sorry, I will make up for it now.
When the earth's history entered the year 2775 of the Republic, that is, after 1934 AD, the economic crisis that broke out in the United States and swept the entire capitalist world for more than four years finally showed signs of subsidence.
The losses caused by this economic crisis are extremely staggering.
In the past few years, the world's trade volume has dropped by more than two-thirds, and more than 30 million people are unemployed.
If the semi-employed are included, the number exceeds 5,000.
Ten thousand.
Countless factories went bankrupt, countless banks collapsed, and countless farms ceased production.
Industrial production in the entire capitalist world fell by more than one-third, including nearly half in the United States, 40% in Germany, 30% in France, 20% in the United Kingdom, and 10% in Italy.
The production capacity of major European and American countries has even returned to the level of the early 20th century or the end of the 19th century.
The economic losses suffered due to the collapse of share prices and production shutdowns amounted to 80 billion pounds, which was even similar to the economic losses caused by the First World War.
This is the largest, longest-lasting, and most profound economic crisis that human society has ever encountered.
It is also the world economic crisis with the widest impact and the heaviest blow in the history of capitalist development.
For these capitalist countries, this is like being stabbed dozens of times.
It is almost equivalent to fighting another world war.
Although there are not many deaths, the sour feeling caused by the economic losses is really good.
Home.
For people in Western society, the past four years have been an unbearable tragedy, a memory as terrible as the First World War.
However, even major disasters will pass.
After four years of raging, this economic crisis has shown signs of receding.
The entire capitalist world seems to have experienced a harsh winter and ushered in a peaceful early spring.
The financial market began to recover, factories and farms began to produce again, banks resumed operations, and various industries began to improve again.
However, before people had time to celebrate the long-lost spring, they were shocked by a deafening "spring thunder".
This "spring thunder" was Germany's invasion of Austria February 14, 1934 AD is Valentine's Day in Western countries.
On this day, many couples will find opportunities to do something shameless and impatient.
Keywords include "push" and "xxoo".
Germany was no exception.
It was very romantic and gave its old lover Austria a stab in the back.
After pushing her down, she was xxoo.
The younger brothers shouted: "Together, together."
In the end, they got together and got married.
Okay, this is a joke.
The fact is that Germany invaded Austria on February 14, and two months later, Austria fell completely.
On May 1, German Emperor Wilhelm III announced to the world that the Anschluss of Germany and Austria would form the "Greater German Empire."
If we trace the root cause, this result will be caused by the economic crisis.
Without this economic crisis, the Ukrainian people would not have revolted.
If there had been no Ukrainian uprising, the poor King Maximilian would not have died.
If Maximilian had not died, his father Ferdinand V would not have become ill due to excessive grief.
If Ferdinand V had not died unexpectedly, the political situation in Austria would not be so chaotic.
If Austria had not fallen into political chaos, Ertoku would not have had a chance to succeed, so it was all the fault of the economic crisis.
To put it simply, the development chain of this matter is like this.
Of course, these are only some superficial reasons.
Perhaps these are the triggers.
The fundamental reason is Austria's own institutional problems.
As we all know, the Austrian Empire is a weird country.

In fact, the fact that this country has survived to this day is already full of character.
Its predecessor was the Holy Roman Empire that was criticized by countless people, which was "neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire."
The appearance is extremely glamorous, but internally it is torn apart by many contradictions.
The Habsburg family, known as the "lower body castle" in the world, has been unfair to the country and has always been unpopular.
The most important thing is that the "Lower Body Fort" family seems to have put all their skills into bed sports, and their politics and military are relatively weak.
After being exploded by Napoleon, the country could only reorganize into the even more bizarre "Austro-Hungarian Empire".
Although the titles of empire and emperor were still retained, they were still unworthy of their names.
After the First World War, even the Austro-Hungarian Empire could no longer hold on and was finally divided into three.
The three most populous parts, namely Austria, Hungary and Bohemian Czechoslovakia, each established independent states.
Although the internal situation of the remaining Austrian Empire is still quite touching, it is still much better than before the split.
After all, the proportion of Germans in the remaining Austrian empire is barely more than half.
But this country basically relied on the personal charm and skill of Ferdinand V to survive.
Without him, it would have gone its separate ways long ago.
This is like a broken porcelain bowl that has been glued together with rice water.
It is fine if you leave it alone, but if it encounters any external force, it will break immediately.
Unfortunately, this time Austria happened to encounter an economic crisis, so various contradictions that had been suppressed came to the surface, and the Austrian Empire was crumbling.
It was precisely at this critical moment that Ferdinand V, who was overly sad because of his son's death, fell ill.
After the eldest son fell ill, no one could mediate the domestic conflicts, and the situation in Austria became even more unbearable.
In December 1932, Ferdinand V, who had been lingering on the bed for more than a year, finally breathed his last and accompanied his son.
The white jade pillar that supported the sky and the purple golden beam that supported the sea was over, and the country was also on the verge of collapse.
During the more than a year when Ferdinand V was bedridden, the republicans represented by the emerging bourgeoisie, local separatist forces in Croatia and other places, the pan-German right-wing forces headed by the National Socialist Party, and the left-wing forces headed by the Austrian Communist Party Political parties and other political forces have taken advantage of the economic crisis to develop rapidly, and the political structure of the entire country has changed a lot.
Logically speaking, the next emperor of Austria should be his nephew Archduke Karl, the genuine Austrian Crown Prince who succeeded to the throne.
However, this man was unlucky, and his succession caused waves.
Many people in Austria do not want him to succeed to the throne.
The Republicans hope to establish a federal republic, while the independents in Croatia and other places hope to establish their own country.
The right-wing forces hope to unite with Germany to form a Greater Germany country, and the left-wing forces hope to establish a social society. communist country.
Everyone's political demands are different, but one thing they have in common is that they don't want him to come to power.
Archduke Karl's prestige and skill were far inferior to those of his uncle.
He could not suppress these forces at all, and even the army could not control them.
So he never ascended the throne.
The next year was a year of conflict and intrigue among various factions in Austria.
On Christmas Day 1933, the impatient republicans united with left-wing parties such as the Austrian Communist Party.
They formed the Republican Alliance and launched a coup.
They detained Archduke Karl and announced the status of the deposed crown prince.
Then they announced Abolish the monarchy and establish a republican government.
Both Wilhelm III and Hitler believed that the opportunity they had been waiting for for many years had finally arrived.
Hitler excitedly declared in the cabinet: "The Habsburg family has no ability to rule Austria.
The German people should have been united under the same flag long ago.
Now Austria is in turmoil, and Austria's German compatriots are facing a crisis.
It is important to save them."
The obligation of our German Empire.
The dream of William the Great to establish a Greater Germany will be realized by us as a country, a nation, and an emperor."
So the German government and the German National Socialist Workers Party, the Nazi Party, immediately began to take action.
Hitler sent Hess and Goebbels to Austria to contact the Austrian Nazi Party, pan-German right-wing forces, as well as royalist and other organizations.
The German army also began to mobilize to Austria. border.

On February 11, Archduke Karl, rescued by some royalists, escaped from the palace under house arrest and went to Germany to seek help.
Unexpectedly, they were attacked by unidentified armed men on the road.
Archduke Carl and his wife were seriously injured and died after rescue efforts failed.
There are different opinions on who was responsible for this attack, but Germans and right-wingers insist that it was the Austrian republicans.
At 4 o'clock in the morning on February 14, Germany's vigorous German army rumbled across the German-Austrian border on the grounds of "capturing regicides, fighting terrorism, maintaining order in Austria, and saving German compatriots."
At this time, due to the political chaos, the Austrian army was leaderless and had no unified command at all.
The three factions, the royalists, the Austrian Nazis and the pan-German right-wing forces, have an absolute advantage in the army.
The Austrian troops on the German-Austrian border are basically under their control.
As soon as the German troops arrive, they turn their guns and lead the way. party.
With the help of Austria's leading party, the German army did not encounter any resistance and marched aggressively all the way.
It was simply an armed rapid march.
The German mechanized troops rushed all the way and entered Vienna at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
The commander of the Vienna garrison was a Nazi.
He directly ordered his men not to resist and let the German troops enter the city.
The Republican Alliance was caught off guard and had no time to react.
While they were still arguing in Congress, they were killed by the German mobile commandos who broke in.
This time Germany acted too fast.
Before the great powers could recover, Austria knelt down.
There is nothing we can do about it.
There are so many people leading the way, even God has to kneel down.
Britain and France had just recovered from the economic crisis, and while they were still hesitating, the dust had settled.
On the one hand, the United States has just recovered its breath, but on the other hand, it can't reach that far, so it can be done with just a few words.
The Soviet Union, which was most likely to react, remained silent, as if nothing had happened.
A month later, the Soviet Union and Poland signed an agreement to take over Western Belarus, and people suddenly realized this.
It turned out that Soviet Union and Germany had hooked up, and Mustache gained Big Beard's support at the expense of returning Western Belarus and acquiescing to the Soviet Union's actions against Finland.
Both parties were delighted.
Subsequently, the Soviet Union and Germany signed a non-aggression pact and a commercial and trade agreement on behalf of the two major country groups of the Allied Powers and the Third International.
Of course, delimiting spheres of influence was also necessary.
May 4, 1934, 2775 AD, Presidential Palace, Hanking.
"Dear President, His Majesty Emperor Wilhelm III of our country and His Excellency Prime Minister Hitler, sincerely invite you to participate in our founding celebration of the German Empire and the coronation ceremony of His Majesty the Emperor."
German Ambassador to China Traudeman respectfully handed over an invitation. .
"I am very grateful for the invitation from Your Majesty the Emperor and Your Majesty the Prime Minister.
If there are no accidents, I will attend on time."
Wen Desi took the invitation with a smile, and then asked curiously: "Isn't His Majesty William III already the coronation ceremony?
Is he the emperor?"
Let me go, what is this kid Wei San doing?
Do you still want to wear the Austrian crown?
Do you think you are opening an online store if you can't play with double crowns?
Wen Desi couldn't help but vomit in his heart.
"Well, that's it."
Taudman felt that he still needed to explain.
He thought that it was really impossible for outsiders to understand what happened in Germany.
In fact, William III was also crowned German Emperor this time, but it was a little different from his previous title. scherkaiser.
The one who will be crowned is the "Emperor of Germany", that is, Kaiser-vondeutschnd, or the "Emperor of all Germany".
This issue involves the history of the founding of Germany.

When William I was crowned in the Hall of Mirrors in 1871, he wanted to be titled "Emperor of Germany", but he was not convinced.
In the end, the title approved by the Parliament was "Emperor of Germany". ".
Over this matter, William and Bismarck had a huge quarrel and almost staged a real-life K.
Bismarck believed that the Second Reich was not an empire in the true sense.
It was actually a federation consisting of 25 states that retained considerable autonomy.
It was actually an extension of the North German Federation.
It's just that Prussia occupies a dominant position because its area and population greatly exceed its peers.
He thought it would be a stupid idea for William to be the "Emperor of Germany", and he would be happy, but other partners in the North German Federation were unwilling, let alone what consequences this title would have in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The relationship between these two names is a bit like the "King of Prussia" and the "King of Prussia" back then.
Simply put, the "German Emperor" is less genuine and has a lower status than the "German Emperor".
Because the latter includes the entire German nation, it is equivalent to the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.
In addition to Saxony, Bavaria, Baden and other states that have been unified by Prussia, it also nominally includes Austria, a country independent of Germany.
In fact, these two titles look pretty similar to outsiders, but Germans just like to play such boring word games and mess around.
However, after World War I, Wilhelm II strengthened internal integration, and later took the opportunity to suppress the German Communist Revolution to completely deprive those countries of their autonomy.
Only then did it truly become an empire.
Now that Austria has been annexed, classmate Wei San thought of his grandfather's wish again, so he discussed with Mustache whether we should change the title.
Upon hearing this, Mustache immediately expressed his support, claiming that the German people can only have one emperor, and it is most appropriate for you, Your Majesty, to be the "Emperor of Germany", so this farce happened
