Germany made the wrong alliance in World War II, and the United States today repeats the same mistakes
From Scholz's visit to China, we can see the lessons of Germany in World War II, and the three-tier alliance circle is not reliable, and the United States has learned this lesson. However, there are concerns that the United States now wants to play the role of Hitler in international affairs.
Hitler's arrogance in daring to challenge the whole world is instructive for today's international situation, and it is somewhat similar to the current situation.
During World War II, Nazi Germany adopted a unique diplomatic strategy, that is, by building a three-tier alliance system, using German influence to threaten, ** and coerce in order to avoid fighting on two fronts.
This strategy almost succeeded, allowing Hitler to consider himself superior to Bismarck, the great statesman and diplomat of German history. However, the foreign policy of the United States today is worryingly similar to that of Nazi Germany.
Hitler's Three-Tiered Circle: A Subtle Diplomatic Strategy Hitler's Three-Tiered Circle of Allies was a subtle diplomatic strategy aimed at expanding Germany's diplomatic sphere of influence.
It consisted of three levels of relations, namely the Greater German Confederation, Czechoslovakia, and Austria. First, Hitler succeeded in integrating these countries into his Greater German League by means of threats, ** and coercion.
This circle included the base of Nazi Germany, including the Sudetenland, the Czechs, and Austria. Through these territories, Nazi Germany established the German Brotherhood, which became its core geopolitical plate, allowing it to have sufficient influence in the surrounding area.
After establishing the German Brotherhood, Hitler began his second move, the creation of a second circle of alliances with Czechoslovakia. The creation of this circle allowed Nazi Germany to further expand its influence and strengthen its influence in Europe.
Eventually, Hitler established a third tier of the Coalition by annexing Austria. The creation of this circle allowed Nazi Germany to control the western and central parts of Europe and further expand its influence.
Overall, Hitler's three-tiered circle of allies was a subtle diplomatic strategy, and by consolidating and building diplomatic relations, Hitler succeeded in expanding Germany's diplomatic sphere of influence and establishing significant influence in Europe.
Under Nazi Germany, several countries, including Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, and Greece, became its loyal client states.
Although Greece and Yugoslavia chose to betray in the later period, several other countries remained loyal to Germany. Hungary became a staunch ally of Germany, actively contributing troops during World War II.
Romania, with the help of Germany, resolved the territorial threat to the Soviet Union and became a close partner of Germany. At the same time, Romania's oil fields have become an important source of energy for the German war machine**, and without Romanian oil, Germany's war capability will be greatly reduced.
In World War II, the Germans forged alliances with countries such as Britain, Italy, and Japan, but this plan was thwarted by British refusal. If Hitler could succeed in building an alliance with eight other countries, including Hungary and Bulgaria, the Germans would have formed a rivalry with France, the Soviet Union, and the United States.
However, this is not an easy task, as these hostile countries have their own problems. France, for example, is in decline, with weak motivation for war and a weak will to resist, and the political situation at home is volatile.
The United States, on the other hand, is too focused on its own interests to be interested in European affairs. And the strength of the USSR has not yet been fully demonstrated.
Hitler's blitzkrieg plan was thought to be a success. But he overlooked some important facts. First of all, he did not expect Britain to be so resilient and unflinching.
Second, he did not anticipate that the Soviet Union and the United States were no longer as powerful as they were before World War II. Although the ** during the First World War was huge, the combat power was not strong, and there were still signs of riots in the country.
The United States during World War I, although powerful, was not highly armed, and domestic isolationist sentiments prevailed. However, the Soviet Union and the United States before World War II were completely different.
Through several five-year plans, the Soviet Union went from being a poor and backward country to becoming the second most industrial country in the world. After Roosevelt's New Deal, the United States gradually recovered from the economic depression and used its huge industrial capacity to plot world hegemony.
These two countries, one across the ocean and the other in Eurasia, both have important influences that have changed the world. Any plan for World War II, if it ignores these two countries, can lead to failure.
The situation in the circle of friends in the United States and the choice of Europe, as if telling the story of Hitler. The three-tier circle of friends in the United States is very similar to the circle of friends in Greater Germany. The first is the Five Eyes Alliance, the core circle of friends in the United States.
These five countries: New Zealand, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States, based on blood ties and common interests, make up the base of the United States. This circle of friends is exactly the same as the model of the Greater German circle of friends.
The second is the non-Anglo-Saxon allies who follow the United States. Although these countries are not outstanding, they have become allies of the United States for various reasons. For example, Japan, Israel, the three Baltic states, and Poland, etc., some of them were forced to ask for help, and eventually became allies of the United States.
The situation of this second-tier circle of friends is very similar to that of Nazi Germany's circle of allies in small countries, in that they are all coerced and induced to become allies, and each takes what he needs to become friends.
Based on common values and long-term interest bonds, a vast pan-circle of friends has been formed. This circle of friends includes Germany, the major European powers, as well as the backbone of South Korea and shrewd India in Asia, as well as the swinging Turkey and the tyrants of the Middle East.
These countries are all important variables of American hegemony. They may form alliances for common values, or they may come together for common threats. But when such alliances and threats have an impact on themselves, alliances change and even lose their original meaning.
If the United States makes its allies make self-sacrifices in order to achieve a certain goal, then the core members of the Five Eyes alliance may be a little dissatisfied, but they will definitely not complain, and they will not hesitate to make sacrifices.
Because they have a close relationship of interest with the United States. In contrast, a second-tier circle of friends may require more thought and measurement, but most will also make sacrifices.
However, for the third layer of pan-circle friends, they may think differently and will not make sacrifices easily, but will make self-judgments.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz recently led a delegation of entrepreneurs to China, a move that could herald Europe's quest for autonomy and independence. The actions of the Germans may inspire France and other European countries to follow in their footsteps, which will make Europe an important variable in the changing world landscape.
Although these countries may seem mild and harmless, they can also show great strength in special moments. Therefore, this visit is not just a simple visit, but may be a harbinger of changes in the world pattern.
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has intensified at the provocation of the United States, which has brought great trouble to Europe, and Germany, as the largest manufacturing country in Europe, has borne the brunt.
The shortage of natural gas and the shortage of natural gas have left Germany facing a serious energy and industrial crisis, and even entering an era of forced deindustrialization. However, what makes the Germans even more desperate is that in order to achieve their own goals, the United States not only blew up Nord Stream 2, but also sold gas at four times the price and made European friends worse by raising interest rates.
All this has made Germany and Europe a loser, not only suffering from the gas and food crisis and high world inflation, but also in a more difficult situation because of the Fed's interest rate hikes.
In this case, German companies have closed down, German manufacturing has begun to move, and capital has begun to flow out.
Europe's economic outlook is worrying, mainly due to the downturn in Germany. As a leading country in Europe, Germany's recession will undoubtedly have an impact on the whole of Europe.
And this is also reflected in the situation of the euro, which has fallen to an all-time low against the dollar during the strong cycle of the dollar. The United States has not considered Germany and France as allies, and both Germany and France have their own interests to consider.
They used to listen to the United States because of the Soviet threat. But with the decline of the USSR and the weakening of Russia, this threat no longer exists. Now the United States is playing with the balance between Russia and Europe in order to control Europe.
However, due to the scorching situation in Russia and the outflow of capital from Europe, the basis of this balance is gradually disappearing. The United States has seen through this and has decided to weaken Europe in order to prevent the rise of Europe from threatening the position of the United States.
To achieve this, the United States may prolong the Russia-Ukraine conflict indefinitely, making the situation in Europe tense until Europe**.
Interest rate hikes and conflict coexist) The Russia-Ukraine conflict continues to heat up, making the problem of capital outflows more serious. At a deeper level, the situation in Europe is also intensifying.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's visit to Kyiv and his proposal to create a small NATO that would include Ukraine, Lithuania, Poland, Finland, Estonia, Latvia is the first step in the US plan.
The goal of the United States is to prop up Poland and make it the leader of Eastern Europe, leading the countries of Eastern Europe against Germany and France. This led to Poland's claim to Germany 1Such a ridiculous event as 3 trillion dollars in World War II reparations, as well as the opening of the Norwegian gas pipeline by Poland on the day of the Nord Stream pipeline.
The aim of the United States was to prop up Poland against the disobedient Germany and France.
When the threat from the United States became more apparent, Scholz took a series of measures to break the situation, including reforming the EU's decision-making mechanism and firmly promoting Chinese investment in Germany. Germany's success lies in its dependence on Russian energy, the EU's markets, and China's cooperation, and America's unprincipled interests pose risks to these relations.
Scholz's visit to China not only provides new opportunities for Germany, but also serves as a reference for other peripheral countries in Europe and the United States. The selfishness of the United States threatens to disintegrate its alliance system, and Scholz's actions may be a landmark event in it.
We look forward to the future of Germany and the world. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz visited China
