Hi all, so in this thread, we are looking at a no disarmament of Germany post WWI peace, in which the Germans are forced to pay on a one for one basis, as much as they are spending on their military. The bigger the German military, the more reparations they must pay, the smaller the German military, the less they must pay.
This gives us a very different slant on the post WWI German military and it's downsizing, as now the Germany have to decide for themselves to either pay huge reparations if they want to keep up their military forces, or they can voluntarily choose to downsize them, while they are paying off their reparations, and then rebuild them once the reparations are paid off. No loss of prestige like in OTL, no forced disarmament, just a choice made by the Germans as to how much they want to have to pay, based upon what they decide to keep as a military budget.
The whole point of this is to explore alternatives to historical ToV and all the other nonsense that was done by the Entente after WWI, and should be taken as such.
