In October 1927, when the Norwegian Nobel Committee decided to award the Nobel *** to King Joachim of the year, Xia Shu, who had received various design awards and medals of honor, happily announced that he would go to Oslo, Norway to receive the award (according to the Nobel Will, the Prize of Physics and Chemistry was evaluated by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Prize of Physics or Medicine was evaluated by the Royal Swedish Carolin Medical College, the Prize of Literature was evaluated by the Swedish Academy of Literature, and the ****** was elected by the Norwegian Parliament).

At this time, more than a month has passed since the official signing of the Limerick Navy Treaty, and the international treaty only lasted forty-six days from initiation to signing. The efficiency and influence of this great deal surprised many people who were unprepared. Many people attributed this treaty to the end of the crazy shipbuilding competition to the King of Ireland who was the first to issue the initiative. In fact, this was just a move to adapt to the situation. The economic depression caused by the financial crisis swept the world. The powerful countries that were originally gritting their teeth and insisting on large-scale shipbuilding had plans to reduce military spending, which was a response.

The "Naval Arms Restriction Treaty" signed by Limerick is essentially consistent with the Washington Treaty in the old time and space: the total tonnage of Zhonghaoqiang's active battleships is limited to a fixed proportion, and the new generation of battleships that have been designed and even started construction will be abandoned. Only five years later can the main ship be updated by ship replacement. Moreover, the newly built battleships must not exceed the technical limit of the standard displacement of 50,000 tons and the main gun caliber is 16 inches. After fierce bargaining, the tonnage of the main ships of the eight naval countries, Germany, the United States, Britain, Japan, Austria, Italy, Love, and Turkey, was finally determined at 10:10:8:

The ratio is 6:4:4:2:2. Germany, the United States and Japan each need to deal with a batch of old battleships to achieve this ratio. Germany sold the Nassau-class dreadnoughts to the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Ireland at a low price. The United States and Japan retired the oldest battleships, some of which were replaced by training ships, and some were directly sold as scrap iron to shipbreaking companies. In addition to Japan's domestic dissatisfaction with the proportion determined by the treaty, basically all countries were relieved of the end of the era of crazy shipbuilding. The stop-fall and rise of securities markets in various countries also responded to the positive impact of the signing of the treaty.

The conclusion of the naval treaty was promoted, and the Nobel *** was won. Xia Shu's international reputation reached an unprecedented height, but these did not bring real peace to this era. It is sad that half a month after receiving the Nobel ***, the King of Ireland approved a military order to send troops to foreign countries. More than 20,000 well-equipped Irish soldiers traveled to France by boat to help the French government "suppress the riots."

The source of this unrest can be traced back to the Lyon Armistice signed in 1915. At that time, the French government paid the heavy price of 18.5 billion francs of compensation to Germany, Austria and Italy by ceding 90,000 square kilometers of territory and nearly half of the colonies in exchange for France's survival. Carrying heavy war compensation, France's industrial economy developed slowly in more than ten years after the war, and most people lived on the poverty line of material scarcity, a former great country.

The status was even lost. The French people were deeply dissatisfied with the loss of territory and bullying and the weakness and incompetence of the ruling authorities. This provided a soil for revolutionary thought to take root and reproduce, which was divided into democratic revolutionaries and Bolsheviks. The former hoped to change the tragic fate of France through a relatively moderate blue revolution, while the latter was influenced by the establishment of the Soviet regime in Russia and tried to completely innovate the country with the red revolution.

With the rise of Soviet Russia and the progress of public consciousness, the Bolsheviks grew stronger and stronger in France and received guidance and support from the Communist International. The "Little Moltke Line" standing in Eastern Europe was destined to be just a defensive front with military significance. It could not stop the spread of Marx's revolutionary thoughts, nor could it curb the Russians' secretly transporting weapons and equipment to France. The arrival of the financial crisis further deteriorated the living conditions of grassroots workers in France. In this year, the French government finally paid off the war reparations against Germany. According to the corresponding terms of the armistice treaty, as long as France pays off the compensation, the German team should withdraw from northern France, including Paris and the Atlantic coast, including Paris,

However, the changes in the strategic situation made the German side deeply concerned about withdrawing from the French occupied area, so they tried to delay. The weak protests of the French government triggered a long-established revolutionary anger demonstration. The strike swept across the country and the traffic was paralyzed. Then, the revolutionaries launched an uprising in Baslonet, the Alps, announcing the establishment of a Soviet regime, and the domestic response was everywhere. In a short time, more than a dozen Soviet regimes appeared in the three major regions in the Alps, and the Red Revolutionaries had embarked on the route to overthrow the corrupt French regime with force from the beginning. The uprising armed forces occupied towns, blocked the roads, and established defense lines. With the help of Soviet advisers, they repelled the French teams that came to encircle and suppressed them one after another.

The French government sent representatives to negotiate with the revolutionary regime, but the latter put forward a request that the French government could not accept. Plainga, who served as prime minister again, first declared a state of emergency in southern France, then expanded the scope to the whole country, and mobilized a large number of troops to the southern provinces. Although the rebels lacked weapons and equipment, the situation of the French active troops was not much better. For ten years, the weapons and equipment they used had almost no updates, the equipment density of machine guns and cannons was only slightly higher than that of the end of the war, and the training method of the army was basically stuck before the war. The officers had no sense of innovation, the soldiers were distracted, and the revolutionary thoughts were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Many troops had secret Soviet organizations. In the battle of Rhone-Alps, forty thousand French troops were defeated on their own, and a large number of soldiers turned against each other in front of the battle and joined the revolutionary camp.

After this war, the French government almost lost control of the domestic situation.

Out of fear of Marx's revolutionary thoughts, European countries supported the old forces in the Soviet Union through various means in 1919. The German General Staff even prepared to send three main forces to interfere across borders. However, the German top leaders were worried about repeating Napoleon France's mistakes, and felt that occupying Russia was useless and unprofitable, which would only allow hostile countries to reap profits. Therefore, they gave up direct interference and strengthened the Little Moltke's defense line, and united with other countries to block the Soviet regime from economic and diplomatic. Now, France, adjacent to Germany and facing the Atlantic, has very important strategic significance for the Allied Powers. If this largest country in Western Europe is controlled by the Soviet regime, it will undoubtedly be a disaster comparable to the financial crisis for Germany. Therefore, before the request was made by the Gallieni government, Germany took the initiative to put pressure on France to accept the Allied Powers* team to assist it in suppressing the riots.

Plainga was forced to compromise.

At the invitation of French friendly countries, the German team stationed in France quickly moved south. In just a few weeks, the French revolutionary wave had expanded from the Alps to the entire southern French region. Provence-Alpes, Riviera, Rhone-Alpes, Aquitaine, Auvergne, Southern Pyrenees, Languedoc-Russion all established Soviet regimes, and the revolutionary organizations were planning to establish their own Soviet states.

Faced with only tens of thousands of revolutionary armed forces, the well-trained and well-equipped German team seemed to be able to easily crush them. After entering the intervention operation, the German team quickly occupied the capitals of the three regions of Aquitaine, Auvergne, and the southern Pyrenees. The Italian army landed in southern France to support the German military occupation of Languedoc-Roussillon and Provence-Alpes. In the southern Pyrenees and Languedoc-Roussillon, the French revolutionary armed forces

The frontal resistance was hit by a shattering blow, with more than 20,000 casualties. All the regular armed forces retreated to the mountainous areas of the Riviera and Rhone-Alps. However, the fire of revolution has been sown. In the occupied areas of German and Italian troops, the revolutionaries continued to harass foreign interference troops in the form of guerrilla warfare, and imitated the Soviet Union and established a revolutionary regime in the countryside. The interference troops attacked everywhere, but encountered walls everywhere and suddenly fell into the vast ocean of people's war.

In the southern part of France, with an area of ​​nearly 200,000 square kilometers, the tenacious and flexible resistance of the revolutionaries made the interfering troops from Germany and Italy feel that they lacked the troops. Germany quickly mobilized 100,000 troops from the mainland, and Italy increased by 50,000 troops. The Austro-Hungarian Empire, Ottoman Turkey, Ireland, and Spain all sent troops to France at the request of Germany, but the United States and Britain proposed to send troops to participate in the operation but were rejected.

In the cold winter, the Irish Army units, which belonged to 11 infantry regiments and 4 cavalry companies, landed in the relatively warm France Bordeaux. Before that, the 5th Irish Fighter Wing, which was incorporated into the German troops stationed in France, had already engaged in interference in the French Revolution. Regarding the arrival of the Irish army, the French official newspapers reluctantly welcomed it, while ordinary French people expressed their attitude with cold eyes and booed.

Before adapting to the weather in France, the Irish army was mainly stationed in the Aquitaine region adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean and Spain, and stationed ports, bridges, railways and industrial areas with the Spanish army. In December, the Irish army entered the southern Pyrenees region where guerrilla activities were frequent, and to prevent the German troops that had come to this point in the early days. France and Ireland had no worries in the future and had no grudges in recent years. In recent years, Ireland's investment in France has also provided many jobs for the French, and the working conditions are better than that of many French local enterprises. However, since the two sides have met, they have no mercy to speak. After taking over the defense, the Irish army inspected day and night.
