This is a Jesse Kelly show. 20 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: I love Europe now not in the I've went backpacking 21 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:34,199 Speaker 1: through through the Alps, sipping on luxurious wines and cheese 22 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: is not in that kind of way. I'm sure that's fine. 23 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 1: As you know, I've been once, probably be about another 24 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: five years before I go again. That was expensive, Chris. 25 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: You know what really gets you as the flight got lee? Yes, Chris, 26 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: Now not for you maybe, But I have to fly 27 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: either the comfort seating with the extended legs or business 28 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: class because I don't fit in the seats whatever. We're 29 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: not going in it. It's I love the history of it. 30 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: I love the conflict there, and I enjoy these rivalries 31 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: that sometimes get blown so far out of proportion and 32 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: the mistrust and it's just it's like the history of Europe, 33 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: especially for about the past thousand years, is just one 34 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:34,679 Speaker 1: gigantic soap opera after another. It is this guy's excommunicated, 35 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: this daughter's marrying that king, and they have an alliance. Oh, 36 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: someone got screwed over. Now their enemies. Oh we're bringing 37 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: him him, he's an enemy now. It's it's a disaster. 38 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 1: It's a total disaster, and I love it. I find 39 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: it fascinating. There is a reason George Washington don't get excited. 40 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: We're not doing Washington today. But There's a reason George 41 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 1: Washington so famously rode in his fair well addressed to 42 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: stay out of Europe's wars. He was emphatic about it, 43 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: who essentially said, in his Washington way, they're always fighting 44 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: about something, We're not getting involved. Period. Your problem, There's 45 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: always going to be another one coming. And while I 46 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: stay fascinating, it also results in some really horrific things, 47 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: really really horrific things. Everybody's thinking I'm talking about World 48 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: War two right now, I'm actually talking more about World 49 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: War One, which was the beginning of oh man, we 50 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: can kill a lot of people really quickly here. And 51 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: when you dig into the reasons behind World War One 52 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: leading up to the Battle of the Marne, which we'll 53 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: talk about a little today with France turning back Germany, 54 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: and how it all laid out and why it went 55 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,119 Speaker 1: away it went it is just it looks so stupid. 56 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: Do you ever think about that when you look at 57 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: the history of things, and why this argument and this 58 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: rivalry and this war and this battle happened. Was just 59 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: some idiots pride over something. Nobody could sit down talk 60 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 1: it out. We're talking death on an unimaginable scale, and 61 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: nobody could just sit down and talk this out. Now, 62 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: you have to understand the situation on the ground. In 63 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:43,239 Speaker 1: the late eighteen hundreds, there was the Franco Prussian War. 64 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 1: That's going to matter. I understand that that's going to 65 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: matter a lot. It's the eighteen seventy so that's that's 66 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: the time frame, and France and Germany went at it. Now, 67 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: at that time, France still had an MP. His name 68 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: is actually Napoleon, Napoleon the third, no different Napoleon. Don't 69 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: get excited. They still had an emperor. So that tells 70 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: you what kind of government we're dealing with here, and 71 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 1: that's going to come into play a little bit into 72 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: our story today. But they have it out. They have 73 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: a Franco Prussian War. Germany at that point in time, 74 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,919 Speaker 1: they were kind of a bunch of different territories, all 75 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: the same place, but kind of different places. Oh, we 76 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: better joined together. But Germany was very much on the rise, 77 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: very much on the rise. And this continued after the 78 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: Franco Prussian War. They had outstanding education levels engineers. The 79 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: products they put out were dynamite. They were cranking out 80 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: big families and you can roll your eyes at that 81 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 1: all you want. I don't know your situation. It's not 82 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 1: important to the story. But historically, when a nation is 83 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:07,919 Speaker 1: cranking out big families, that means very very good things 84 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: for that nation. In general, you're creating more kids, more 85 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: kids raised by two parents. Kids raised by two parents 86 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: turn out to be productive adults. So if I'm churning 87 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: out a hundred productive new adults a year and you're 88 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: churning out twenty new productive adults a year, which one 89 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: of us is going to end up in a better situation. 90 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 1: It mattered a lot. The Germans were getting married and 91 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: they were taking care of business. Chris right, what whatever? 92 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: It mattered France Germany they go at it in the 93 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: Franco Prussian War. Germany beats the living crap out of 94 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: France in this war, and I mean pummels them. Good 95 00:06:54,080 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: Bye Emperor, Hello Germany, Hello Alisons, Hello Loraine. Two territories, 96 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: extremely extremely profitable territories, are now part of Germany. I'm 97 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,119 Speaker 1: not going to get into this. If you're German, don't 98 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: write me and say they were always ours. I'm only 99 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: dealing with the current time frame. I understand there's a 100 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: conflict over every piece of ground in that godforsaken continent. 101 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: I get it, I get it, but post Franco Prussian War, 102 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: Germany owns that now. But maybe more than anything else, 103 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: it wasn't the loss of Alsons in Lorraine that really 104 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: wounded France. It was the butt whipping. France is easy 105 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: to make fun of. Now you've made a thousand French 106 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: jokes in your life, so have I. You have? You know, 107 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: the French tank only one year forward and eight gears 108 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: in reverse by your French army rifle now never fired, 109 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: only dropped once you know you've heard all of them. 110 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: I love them as much as you love them. Believe me, 111 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: I do. It's hilarious, especially because French people are notoriously 112 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: snobby and uppity. However, in fairness to France before the 113 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: Battle of France in World War Two, which they really 114 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: should have won, I mean, they do deserve to get 115 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: mocked for that. Prior to that, and prior especially to 116 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: the Franco Prussian War, there's not a country on earth 117 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: that probably boasted a better military tradition than France. They 118 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: were really really good and powerful for a long time 119 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: and had these incredible victories, and France was a proud 120 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: nation and proud of that as they should be, and 121 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: we are France, and who's this young upstart Germany? All right, Germany, 122 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: you want to start up? Then what Prussia? The same thing? 123 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: Do you want to starts up? And let's do it? 124 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: And then Prussia just beats the crap out of you. 125 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 1: Germany was at this point the young, still very hungry 126 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: prize fighter living in his basement doing push ups all 127 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: day long. France was the old, rich, fat champion, driving 128 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: Lamborghinis around and eating grapes with Swedish bikini models. One 129 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: of you is getting harder and more ready for the 130 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: next fight, and the other ones getting soft. You've seen 131 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: Rocky three right where where where Rocky takes on? Who 132 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: was the guy A clever Lang, clever the mister t 133 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 1: And there's that great montage, and it's it was a 134 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: great montage because it was so true Rockies eating caviar 135 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: and steaks and clever langs in some dungeon doing pull 136 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: ups right before Rocky got his head caved in. That's 137 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: the situation. Germany steps up, Germany beats France. France is 138 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 1: now pride wounded badly, badly. On top of this, Germany, 139 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: through combat as well, had really taken the Austria hungry 140 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: thing and welcomed them into their sphere. Now you're France, 141 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: Now you're you were worried about the young upstart. You 142 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: fought with the young upstart, you lost badly to the 143 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: young upstart, and now the young upstart has a friend. 144 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: Gotta do something about that. You know you're going to 145 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: have auto repairs, right, I am not wishing that on you. 146 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: Believe me, as you've heard me whining about on the radio. 147 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: I'm going through it as we speak. It's awful. It's awful, 148 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: and it's obviously a lot more than just the time 149 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: it takes. It's the cost. I was just complaining to 150 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 1: producer Chrus about it. I had a vacation fund. You know, 151 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: we're setting aside that thing.

Yeah, that vacation fund is gonna be gone. Now. 154 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: Auto repairs are expensive.

But France, Britain all over the world, got 170 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: all kinds of places. Germany, what's left for us? Germany 171 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: wants to flex some muscle too. Germany's starting to feel it, 172 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: you know. Eventually, that young hungry fighter, he's gonna look 173 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 1: around and think, well, wait a minute, I've been working hard, 174 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: I'm tougher than everyone else. I think I'm gonna fight somebody. 175 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: So Germany was being aggressive, but I don't want to 176 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: act like they were belligerent, and I don't want to 177 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: act like France was some kind of, you know, calm 178 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: down mediator in this whole thing. France is taking every 179 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: opportunity they can to poke Germany in the roofs. But 180 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: France needs an ally and this is you can find 181 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 1: a million moments leading up to World War One that 182 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: really caused it. I mean, you could go over all 183 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 1: of it, all of history pretty much, but this was 184 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: the moment that I usually come back to when France 185 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: went and got Russia and said should we should we 186 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: get along? Should we be friends now? And Russia said yep. 187 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: And just in case you're not aware of the situation geographically, 188 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: allow me to do this. And this is a way 189 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: over for simplication. But here's what I want you to do. 190 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: Picture three squares sitting side by side on your desk. 191 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: The one on the left is France, the one on 192 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: the middle is Germany, the one on the right is Russia. 193 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: Are you seeing why Germany might be a little bit 194 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: apprehensive about Russia and France deciding there on the same team. 195 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: I can create some problems for you, right, And because 196 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: there were so many war scares at this time, that's right, Chris, 197 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: very much like Poland. Yeah. Now the difference between I 198 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: will say the difference between Poland and Germany at this 199 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: time is Germany right now has the strongest army in 200 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: the world, almost undoubtedly the strongest land army in the world. 201 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: But not only is France allied with Russia, they're doing 202 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: certain things for Russia, like giving them large financial loans 203 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: to pay for rail lines to come from Russia to 204 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: the German border. Do you think that would bother you 205 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: if you were Germany? So wait a minute, You're not 206 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: only allies. You were essentially paving an army super highway 207 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: to get them to my opposite border even faster. We 208 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: got tensions. We got big time tensions Russia. I'm not 209 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: even going to go into them today. They had all 210 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: kinds of their own problems leading up to this as well. 211 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: You have a tsar, Czar Nicholas, the one who was 212 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: eventually ousted in the kami Revolution. You have a czar 213 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: who's losing a grip on a very divided country full 214 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: of unrest. It's it's ugly. And keep in mind, as 215 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: any leader in the history of the world knows, not 216 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: even going to point any fingers, right now, but it 217 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: is a fact if you're losing a handle on your nation, 218 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: whether you're a king, president, dictator, whatever you are, if 219 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: you're unpopular losing a handle on things, there's nothing that 220 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: can help you gain popularity more than going to war. 221 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: In winning a war, wars are what nations do. In 222 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: winning them fills people up with national pride. Losing them, however, 223 00:16:54,920 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: fills people up with national shame. You an American, probably 224 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: I have no idea what that feels like unless you're 225 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,479 Speaker 1: very aware of what it was like post Vietnam. I 226 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 1: am not. I was not there, but I hear to 227 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: this day there was a real feeling of shame there, 228 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: and ucky feeling and ikey feeling. I'm not gonna be like, oh, 229 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: we lost, but we certainly didn't win, and we were 230 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: used to always winning undefeated up to there, so that 231 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: was a rough one. Now you know about the assassination 232 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. We've done it before, We'll do 233 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: it again, don't worry one day. But before we get 234 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: to the actual spark that kicked off the war, let's 235 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: go to what France and Germany are actually planning. You see, 236 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 1: they're not sitting around right now, angry, sending off nasty 237 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 1: emails with a good old fashioned passive aggressive please advise 238 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 1: at the end of all of them. They're not doing that. 239 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: What they are doing, though, is actively planning on fighting 240 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: each other again. That's why so many say this war 241 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: was inevitable. Germany had a plan called the von Schleepen Plan, 242 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: named after obviously a guy, Count von von Schlephen, and 243 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: their plan was an invasion plan of France. It was 244 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: a plan to fight France and fight Russia. We'll come 245 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: back to that in a second. France had a plan too. 246 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: France's plan was called Plan seventeen and it was to 247 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 1: take on Germany. It was called seven. It could be 248 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 1: like that, Chris. It was called I wish I had 249 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 1: a great explanation for you. It's called Plan seventeen because 250 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: it was a seventeenth plan that came up with. I'm 251 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: not making that up, I know. I actually as soon 252 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: as I found out that was the plan, I'm like, oh, 253 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 1: I gotta find out why was this was this named after? 254 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: You know, Louis the seventeenth There's something that now, it's 255 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: just this was this was version seventeen of the plan. 256 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: I know, Schleephen plan at least sounds cool now. The 257 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 1: German plan, the von Schlieffen Plan. They felt they had 258 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: to come up with it because one they felt war 259 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: was inevitable, and two they were very concerned about taking 260 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 1: on France and Russia. You can't fight a two front war, 261 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: certainly not for an extended period of time. So Germany 262 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: had a plan. The plan was ripped up in revised 263 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 1: a thousand times, but the basics of the plan remained. 264 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: This And I am sorry for giving you so much geography. 265 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: You know, I've already given you one. I'm about to 266 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: give you two, or try to make that the last 267 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: of I mean, you know, I don't like to do that, 268 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 1: but it actually matters a lot for our story, all right. 269 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: Remember the two squares. France is the left square, Germany's 270 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: the middle square, and they're touching each other. That's mostly true. 271 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 1: But at the very tippy top of that square you 272 00:19:55,240 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: have two tiny little countries called Luxembourg and Belgium. You see, 273 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,439 Speaker 1: France and Germany share this long border, except that the 274 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: tippy tippy top, Luxembourg and Belgium perform a nice They 275 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: form a nice little layer of peanut butter and jelly 276 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: between the slices of France and Germany. Understand where I'm 277 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: going here. In France, in anticipation of a possible or 278 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: likely German attack, France built mass fortifications along the German 279 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: French border. Forts, big ones, powerful ones, troops everywhere you 280 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,959 Speaker 1: want to talk about, built to a stand and attack. 281 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: They were built to a stand and attack. They did 282 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 1: not make such plans along the French Belgium border because 283 00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: why would you. Belgium is an ally, You're not exactly 284 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: worried about tiny Belgium invading with a bunch of waffles. 285 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: I'll quit. We can make jokes. The Schleepan plan, it 286 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 1: was bold. It's been historically trashed by people everywhere. I 287 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: like it, but you can make your own judgments. The 288 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: Schleepan plan involved maybe some diplomatic faux paus. Hang on 289 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 1: home title. Theft is storming this country right now and 290 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: the Federal Bureau of Investigation can't stop it. That that 291 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: was the part that really hit me. You see, when 292 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,439 Speaker 1: it happened to me. When they showed me my home 293 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: title that had been hacked and they forged my signature 294 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 1: on it, it stunned me. And then when they informed 295 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: me Oh, the FBI is gravely concerned about this because 296 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: they haven't figured out how to stop it. That's what 297 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: really got me. And cybercrime it's up seventy five percent 298 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 1: since all this lockdown stuff happened. These cyber criminals have 299 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: never had it so good. We have to put a 300 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 1: stop to it because no one else can. Home title 301 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: lock can save you. Go sign up today. Go to 302 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: hometitlelock dot com. That's home titlelock dot com. Do not 303 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: forget to use the promo code radio that gets you 304 00:22:48,040 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 1: thirty days for free. So the Schleepen Plan on paper, 305 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: I think it looks really good. I know, if you're 306 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 1: familiar with it, you're yelling right now because it's kind 307 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: of a cold hearted plan, which is probably why I'm 308 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: okay with it, and most of you who have morals 309 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 1: and a soul are not okay with it. But the 310 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,199 Speaker 1: Schleepen Plan was simply this a plan to take on 311 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 1: France and Russia, defeat them both while avoiding avoiding the 312 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 1: massive fortifications along the France Germany border. While there's only 313 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 1: one place you can get into France while avoiding those 314 00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: fortifications along the France Germany border. You gotta go through 315 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 1: Luxembourg and Belgium, who are very much neutral countries. You 316 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: have no issue with them whatsoever. If you're Germany, you 317 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 1: can't even I mean, you have so few issues with him. 318 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: They didn't even bother lying and acting like well, I 319 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: mean he offended me. It was just so that's not 320 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: good and which really turned out poorly for Germany. Belgium 321 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: had a sign deal with Britain that Britain would protect them. 322 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: Britain and France were not pals at this point at all. 323 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,199 Speaker 1: I know you're gonna find the shocking, but Britain and 324 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: France kind of didn't like each other. I know, it's wild. 325 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 1: Chris must probably first time in history. I don't know, 326 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: I haven't read of him. The Schleepen plan involved sending 327 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,919 Speaker 1: ten percent of the German forces and only ten percent 328 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 1: of the German forces east to the Russian border, in 329 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 1: anticipation that it would take Russia a long time as 330 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: it always does, to get themselves going. In the meantime, 331 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: you amass ninety percent of your forces on the western border. 332 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: You send enough troops to the fortified France border to 333 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: keep them occupied, while really sending your huge invasion force 334 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: up through that tiny little peanut butter and jelly in 335 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: the north Luxembourg and Belgium. You storm through there and 336 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: blow into France before they know what's happening, before they 337 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: can stop it. Like I said, it's a really cool plan. 338 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: There are complications though, which we will go over in 339 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: just a minute. It kind of it kind of goes poorly. 340 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 1: Let's focus on the lesser known of the two plans, 341 00:25:54,440 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: the French Plan seventy one. This is the seventeen, not 342 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 1: seventy one, French Plan seventeen. Maybe I'm turning dyslexic. Can 343 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 1: you turn dyslexic, Chris? Or you are or you aren't. 344 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: I don't think you can, right, I mean I guess 345 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,640 Speaker 1: with enough grain alcohol you can turn into anything. What. Anyway, 346 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: the French Plan seventeen was a plan to counter a 347 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 1: German invasion. And this plan is equally as insane and stupid, 348 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: and in fact, either it's just crazy talk. It's insane 349 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: in that it doesn't take account at all for the 350 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,120 Speaker 1: changes in weaponry, and how could you be so stupid 351 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: as to not account for the changes in weaponry. Essentially, France, 352 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,199 Speaker 1: in large part because of its wounded pride from that 353 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: Franco Prussian War. France didn't want to just sit back 354 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: and let the German come to them, which in general 355 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: is the very smart move if you're dug in and fortified. 356 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: If you're dug in in fortified, let them come, be patient, 357 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: be calm. But you're France. Your pride has been wounded. 358 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: The French plan involved, essentially, to make this a real oversimplification, 359 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 1: charge just charge right at them, and we are France 360 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 1: and we're gonna fight them off. Okay, maybe maybe that 361 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 1: plan is workable when you created the plan, you know, 362 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: post Franco Prussian War, that plan becomes national suicide. After 363 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 1: the eighteen nineties, when there are two gigantic weapons advancements 364 00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: on the world stage, one of them being the machine gun. 365 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: The original one was really called the maxim gun. It 366 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: was an American invention, eventually bought i believe by a 367 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: British company, so the Brits incorporated into their army. It 368 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,880 Speaker 1: was a water cooled, not air cooled gun that could 369 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 1: fire six hundred rounds a minute. Remember, prior to this 370 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 1: were either dealing with muzzleloaders or they had advanced to 371 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: you know, five shots, single five shot rifles. Six hundred 372 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 1: rounds a minute is not something any general or on 373 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,640 Speaker 1: Earth had been trained to deal with or employ at all, 374 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: even though they knew it was there. They had employed 375 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: it on some African tribes. The Brits had, but they 376 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: didn't even really grasp its destructive capabilities yet. That's one. Two. 377 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: I'm going to say artillery, but understand, artillery had been 378 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: around forever. The cannons are arts hillery. There was, however, 379 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: a gigantic game changing artillery advancement that you will see 380 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: to this day. You see, when you fire a weapon, 381 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 1: here's what happens. You load an explosive something into a barrel, 382 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: and you fire an explosion off behind that something, which 383 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 1: launches that something out of the barrel. However, laws of 384 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: physics being what they are, it forces that weapon backwards, 385 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: doesn't it recoil? A weapon recoil? None of the stuff 386 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: is news for you. Now, how do you lower the 387 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: recoil of a weapon? If I'm firing a gigantic shell 388 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: or a tiny shell and I don't like the recoil? 389 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,959 Speaker 1: What's a way? The ultimate way you reduce the recoil. 390 00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: You increase the weight of the weapon it's self. It 391 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: deadens that recoil it absorbs it. Now, that's fine if 392 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: we're talking about the shotgun you go shoot pheasants with. 393 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: When we're dealing with these new, hugely upgraded artillery shelves, 394 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: you're having to put so much weight on the weapon 395 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: you can't get it around. But they came up with 396 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: an invention hydraulics. If you've ever seen artillery fired in 397 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 1: a documentary or a movie, you know exactly what I'm 398 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: talking about. Now. You know how the weapon is stationary 399 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: and you'll essentially see just the back end of the 400 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: barrel shoot back, and then hydraulics will push it back forward. 401 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 1: That was created at this time, allowing you to mobilize 402 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: your artillery a lot easier and have your artillery a 403 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 1: lot more transportable than it was before. Now, let's talk briefly. 404 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 1: I don't want to nerd out on you too much here, 405 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: but it did matter a lot about how the country's 406 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: approached these things. They all gathered up machine guns various 407 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 1: I mean to various degrees, but they all gathered up 408 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 1: machine guns. France was all about smaller artillery. They were 409 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: called seventy fives, more easily transportable, obviously didn't have the 410 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: range didn't have the ability for indirect fire. Really, Germany, 411 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 1: just like they did in the Franco Prussian War, Germany 412 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: advanced way past France. When it comes to the new 413 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: technology out there seventy fives, let's start jacking that into 414 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 1: the two or three hundred range. Let's find weapons we 415 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 1: can fire from behind mountains, over the mountain and landing 416 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 1: down on you where you can't land on us. The 417 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 1: Germans created artillery pieces, some of them that had to 418 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 1: be transported by train and assembled where they are, and 419 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 1: would fire a shell the size of a car. I 420 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 1: am you just saw the market news, didn't you. I 421 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 1: know you did. I've been telling you all the warning 422 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 1: signs are there. You don't have to be JP Morgan 423 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 1: to know all the warning signs are there. When you're 424 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: printing trillions and unbacked currency, running up debts and deficits 425 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 1: like nobody's ever seen, and combining that with business closures 426 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 1: and still millions unemployed, that story ends one way and 427 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 1: only one way. You know what it is, So just 428 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: be safe. Go to gold Alliance dot com slash Jesse 429 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: and get a gold Ira. You know you can diversify 430 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 1: a portion of your retirement with a gold Ira without 431 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: penalties or tax consequences. That's what I call intelligence. Gold 432 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 1: Alliance dot com slash Jesse. That's gold Alliance dot com 433 00:33:37,360 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: slash Jesse. Go there now. So it's getting complicated, right. 434 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: Plans seventeen doesn't look good for France. France probably is 435 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,840 Speaker 1: a little too aggressive with their plans, way too aggressive 436 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:16,399 Speaker 1: with their plans. But in the defense of everybody here, 437 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 1: if you have to defend everyone here, remember these are 438 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 1: all all the guys coming up with these plans. They're 439 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 1: all old men shoot, especially Germany. The Germans were all 440 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 1: in their seventies, old generals. France's people were in their 441 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 1: sixties and seventies. They had lived entire lives, fought many wars, 442 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 1: war college here, war gaming there. But everything had changed, 443 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 1: everything had changed. How does the deployment of my hundred 444 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 1: men versus your hundred men change? When we all had 445 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 1: trained with muskets or five shot rifles and now I 446 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 1: have machine guns. It changes everything everything, and so it's 447 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 1: hard to change with it. And how does my deployment 448 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:29,879 Speaker 1: of troops, How does my defense strategy change? When you 449 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 1: now have artillery pieces that can fire into the air. 450 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 1: They can calculate the curvature of the earth, and you 451 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:43,280 Speaker 1: can land your artillery piece on top of a dug 452 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,760 Speaker 1: in fort and have the shell bury into the ground 453 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: before it explodes. It changes everything, everything. And when I 454 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: say everything, what was a fort? How many battles throughout 455 00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 1: ancient history have we talked about a walled city a fort? 456 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 1: Why don't you think you see those anymore? Because of 457 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:08,400 Speaker 1: this time period right here, right now, the entire history 458 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 1: of the world. You got behind walls and barriers and 459 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 1: protected yourself. Now, oh, go ahead, behind your walls, build 460 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,319 Speaker 1: them up as high as you want. I'm going to 461 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 1: drop high explosive shells in there and incinerate all of you. 462 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 1: Please group up for me. That'll make it easier. It 463 00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 1: changes everything. War kicks off, Archduke has killed. You know 464 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:47,720 Speaker 1: the story. Germany launches their plan and this is really 465 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,759 Speaker 1: really where things go south for Germany. You see the 466 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 1: Schleefing plan again. I'm a defender. Looked great on paper. 467 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 1: The world would have been fine, relatively fine. Britain would 468 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:12,800 Speaker 1: have been fine with Germany and France having another little 469 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 1: European tussle. Okay, some inconvenience here, some annoyance there, fine, 470 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 1: But really in the end. If your Britain, this works 471 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 1: out fine for you. Fight it out, boys, we'll just 472 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 1: keep making money. The world, and specifically Britain gets decidedly 473 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 1: less fine when you are Germany and you go stomping 474 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 1: through Belgium like you own the place, stomping through there 475 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 1: and issuing them orders on your way through. By the way, 476 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 1: we're here now, we're walking through. Make sure you step aside. 477 00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,080 Speaker 1: Oh and don't you dare blow up any of the 478 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,879 Speaker 1: rail lines or bridges, or we are going to come 479 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 1: down hard on you. Belgium's conduct in World War One 480 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:16,360 Speaker 1: at the beginning of it is so underrated. Possibly suicidal. 481 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 1: I actually argue with myself over this whether I like 482 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:24,920 Speaker 1: what they did or not. Possibly suicidal, but certainly admirable. 483 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:30,440 Speaker 1: Belgium had no chance, zero chance whatso they were nothing. 484 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,720 Speaker 1: They were a pimple on the butt of the German 485 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,000 Speaker 1: armed forces. A lot of people say this German army 486 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 1: is the greatest army in the history of mankind. I 487 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,799 Speaker 1: think it's insane to say anything's better than that Mongolian 488 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:44,840 Speaker 1: army we've talked about a thousand times. But be that 489 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: as it may, it's a very very, very good army, 490 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 1: modern machine guns, artillery. They even us Campbellflage, where other 491 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:56,880 Speaker 1: countries were still using bright colors. They were awesome. But 492 00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:02,120 Speaker 1: Belgium stands up and says, no, actually, you're not coming 493 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:06,719 Speaker 1: through here. You're not allowed, and they start blowing up 494 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,720 Speaker 1: the bridges and they start doing all the things Germany 495 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:15,239 Speaker 1: warned them not to do. So now you're Germany, and 496 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 1: this is this is where I think they really screwed up. 497 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:22,040 Speaker 1: Now you're Germany. Now you have to figure out how 498 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,920 Speaker 1: you're going to handle that situation. Now, remember you're in 499 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:29,520 Speaker 1: a hurry. The German plan, the shleeping plan, involved getting 500 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:33,200 Speaker 1: through the Belgium quickly. They just assumed Belgium was gonna 501 00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,960 Speaker 1: lay down even if Belgium did fight. They figured, we'll 502 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 1: tear through them quickly. Well, Belgium still has forts. Belgium's 503 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:46,600 Speaker 1: blown up bridges. Belgium's making this take longer. Now you 504 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 1: have to decide, if you're Germany, how are you going 505 00:39:53,040 --> 00:40:01,000 Speaker 1: to handle the Belgians. There's a way of thinking that, look, 506 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:04,960 Speaker 1: we already look bad, we're already here. We might as 507 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 1: well try to sternly coerce them to come around. Our 508 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:13,080 Speaker 1: way of thinking and there's another way that says let's 509 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 1: be nice. They chose the wrong one. You're never completely 510 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:42,600 Speaker 1: ready to adopt a teen. For late nights, writing English 511 00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:47,319 Speaker 1: papers are your teen's music taste, for dinners where they 512 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 1: talk more on their phone than with you. For the 513 00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:54,520 Speaker 1: first time they call your mom. You're never completely ready 514 00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,960 Speaker 1: to adopt a teen, and you can't imagine the reward. 515 00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,520 Speaker 1: To learn more about adopting a teen, visit adopt us 516 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,040 Speaker 1: Kids dot org, brought to you by the US Department 517 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,799 Speaker 1: of Health and Human Services, adopt us Kids and the 518 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 1: ad Council.

Well they're German, They're I look full disclosure 528 00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:14,600 Speaker 1: because I relate to that more cold way, possibly even 529 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:19,840 Speaker 1: let's just call it more brutal way of thinking. Germany. 530 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:25,040 Speaker 1: They're not going to be nice. They're very stern. Even 531 00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:32,719 Speaker 1: their language, even their language sounds stern. Germany starts slapping 532 00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:38,680 Speaker 1: the Belgians around a lot, even accusations. Some say they 533 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,200 Speaker 1: were blown away out of proportion, and I'm sure they 534 00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:48,319 Speaker 1: were accusations of war crime, assault against women, children. Sure 535 00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,879 Speaker 1: some of those were true. Overall, there's not a ton 536 00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:55,600 Speaker 1: of evidence that they were very true, but it didn't 537 00:42:55,640 --> 00:43:34,680 Speaker 1: look them. I pretty much scruge. You hang up the 538 00:43:34,840 --> 00:44:01,480 Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly Show. This is the Jesse Kelly Show. Now 539 00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:08,360 Speaker 1: now that the Germany's slapping around Belgium, and the Belgians, 540 00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,480 Speaker 1: to their credit, make a real good show of it, 541 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,919 Speaker 1: We're not actually going to talk about everything that happened there, 542 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:18,239 Speaker 1: but they hold up well for a while. Eventually, though, 543 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:21,200 Speaker 1: the Belgians go back to their forts, which were considered 544 00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,520 Speaker 1: to be modern. These forts were built in the eighteen nineties. 545 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:30,200 Speaker 1: I mean, they were fine, that's modern. But when Germany 546 00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:35,040 Speaker 1: starts dropping shells the size of cars on them, the 547 00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:39,520 Speaker 1: forts don't last very much longer. But we need to 548 00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:41,920 Speaker 1: pause for a moment, and I'll probably wrap this up 549 00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:45,680 Speaker 1: because I I gotta stop doing this, Chris, I went 550 00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:49,480 Speaker 1: way too long on miss But we need to talk 551 00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,440 Speaker 1: about the difference between the German and the French leadership 552 00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:56,160 Speaker 1: leading up to the First Battle of the Marne. There 553 00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:58,560 Speaker 1: are a bunch of different commanders and things. But the 554 00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:02,600 Speaker 1: German in charge is a man named von Molki or 555 00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,480 Speaker 1: von Molka depends on who you listen to. But von 556 00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:12,280 Speaker 1: Molki is how I always said it. He is well. 557 00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:19,160 Speaker 1: There is another von Molki, his uncle, who was a hero, 558 00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:22,040 Speaker 1: a lion. I mean, a lot of people said he's 559 00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:28,080 Speaker 1: the best European commander since Napoleon. Von Molki is not that. 560 00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:33,880 Speaker 1: And now he's old, he's weak. During the course of 561 00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:37,640 Speaker 1: this battle, he basically has a nervous breakdown where he'll go. 562 00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:41,040 Speaker 1: I think it was two or three days without issuing orders. 563 00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:46,560 Speaker 1: He just The German command at the top with von 564 00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:53,239 Speaker 1: Molki was horrid. Frankly, may have cost Germany the war. 565 00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,680 Speaker 1: And if we want to go to the other side, France, 566 00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:01,560 Speaker 1: for all their deficiencies at this point in time, they're 567 00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:05,960 Speaker 1: led by a man named Joseph Joff or Joseph Joff 568 00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,640 Speaker 1: Free or Joseph Joff. Ruh, it's Joseph Joff, I believe. 569 00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:18,360 Speaker 1: But Joseph Joff is a fascinating person, completely fascinating. He 570 00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:23,719 Speaker 1: was all about the aggressive strategy, but as you'll see 571 00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:28,160 Speaker 1: as we advance here, was smart enough and was able 572 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,640 Speaker 1: to swallow his pride enough to abandon that strategy when 573 00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,239 Speaker 1: it didn't work. That's a very difficult thing for a 574 00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:37,120 Speaker 1: general to do, which is say whoa, whoa whoa Okay, bad, 575 00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:41,160 Speaker 1: but whoa gott a change. What I said before was wrong, 576 00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:45,080 Speaker 1: We need to change. That's very, very, very hard for 577 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:51,000 Speaker 1: any general to do. He was a huge person, tall 578 00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,799 Speaker 1: and fat, at least looked fat. Well, that's hard to 579 00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:58,600 Speaker 1: pull off too. When you're tall, you can carry a 580 00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:02,040 Speaker 1: lot of extra weight without looking fat. I'm six eight. 581 00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,480 Speaker 1: I can put on ten pounds and you would never 582 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,319 Speaker 1: know it. Maybe you'd see it in my face a little, 583 00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,600 Speaker 1: or lose ten and you'd never know it. It's not 584 00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:12,120 Speaker 1: some miracle. It's just distributed over a longer you know, 585 00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,040 Speaker 1: a longer body. When you're five to five and gain 586 00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:18,040 Speaker 1: a pound, people look at you and say, my goodness, man, 587 00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:20,520 Speaker 1: get in the gym. You never know if I gain 588 00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:26,520 Speaker 1: a pound, so he's tall and fat. He is. This 589 00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:30,960 Speaker 1: is this guy? What a character. He hires a former 590 00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:37,600 Speaker 1: Grand pre driver to drive him around and he is 591 00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:39,880 Speaker 1: not one of these generals. And I love him for this. 592 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,560 Speaker 1: Who likes to sit back in headquarters? That was von 593 00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,560 Speaker 1: Mulki and just sit back and issue orders and wait. 594 00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:51,239 Speaker 1: Jaff he is all about checking in everywhere on the 595 00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,920 Speaker 1: front lines, checking in with all of his commanders, supervising. 596 00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:59,560 Speaker 1: And he has this Grand Prix driver buzzing him around 597 00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,920 Speaker 1: the line. How cool is that? And this maybe my mission. 598 00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:06,560 Speaker 1: That's my second favorite part about Joff. My first favorite 599 00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:12,400 Speaker 1: is a man of that size. I believe his parents 600 00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:15,640 Speaker 1: owned a winery if I remember that, right, A man 601 00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:22,160 Speaker 1: of that size. He employs a professional chef for himself. 602 00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:24,799 Speaker 1: And while he worked very hard, like I said, he's 603 00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:29,200 Speaker 1: always bounced around, worked very hard, would sit down every day, 604 00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:33,000 Speaker 1: no matter what was going on, and have an excellent 605 00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:38,399 Speaker 1: lunch prepared for him by his professional chef. Great as that, 606 00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,040 Speaker 1: and then as soon as he's done, get right back 607 00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,000 Speaker 1: in your car and keep buzzing out. But I need 608 00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:46,000 Speaker 1: I need a reset. Look, we're not going without lunch, 609 00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:51,400 Speaker 1: all right? I think that's so great. It's so great, 610 00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:58,279 Speaker 1: and this is where France was safe. People do not 611 00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:01,840 Speaker 1: realize how close France to losing World War One in 612 00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,080 Speaker 1: the early days, and really in large part it was 613 00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:08,359 Speaker 1: because of Joseph Joff. He's also remember von Molki, who 614 00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:12,279 Speaker 1: has essentially a nervous breakdown. And in Molki's defense, while 615 00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:15,360 Speaker 1: Molki's defense, he was in terrible health. He had a 616 00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:18,600 Speaker 1: stroke just before the war. He was seventy I think 617 00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:20,960 Speaker 1: seventy three. I know he was in his seventies. He's old, 618 00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:27,360 Speaker 1: had a stroke. He's not doing well. But Joff absurdly calm, 619 00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:32,880 Speaker 1: I mean, completely unrattlable. You could not, you could not 620 00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,879 Speaker 1: make the man nervous. And believe me, when we talk 621 00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,840 Speaker 1: about the casualty numbers like we're about to talk about 622 00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:42,200 Speaker 1: numbers like no country had ever seen in the history 623 00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:45,160 Speaker 1: of war and that certain period of time, it would 624 00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:49,560 Speaker 1: be real easy for a general to panic. Jaff cannot panic. 625 00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:54,439 Speaker 1: And lastly, before we wrap this up for the day, 626 00:49:54,520 --> 00:50:02,960 Speaker 1: don't worry, we're gonna return. He was willing to fire people, 627 00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:10,240 Speaker 1: lots and lots and lots of people, fired them all 628 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:16,200 Speaker 1: the time, fired them in mass Jaff was famous for 629 00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:18,520 Speaker 1: and I guess it was supposedly very nerve wracking, as 630 00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:20,839 Speaker 1: you can imagine. You know how I said, he'd check 631 00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:25,680 Speaker 1: in with his various commanders, various generals. He would drive 632 00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:31,520 Speaker 1: up to the command tent, walk in, check out the maps, 633 00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:35,880 Speaker 1: check out the status of everything, not say a word, 634 00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:38,120 Speaker 1: and turn around and get back in his car and 635 00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:41,799 Speaker 1: take off. And oftentimes that actually meant he approved of 636 00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:45,000 Speaker 1: what you were doing. Okay, well we're fine, no adjustments 637 00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:46,560 Speaker 1: needed here. I don't have time to talk to you. 638 00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:53,320 Speaker 1: We're leaving. But so many of these generals that France 639 00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:56,799 Speaker 1: had in Germany, every country at this time, as I said, 640 00:50:56,840 --> 00:51:01,839 Speaker 1: warfare had changed. Everything was different. Now they had so 641 00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:05,840 Speaker 1: many generals who were peacetime generals, and or so many 642 00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:10,480 Speaker 1: generals who they simply couldn't adjust to the new way 643 00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:15,400 Speaker 1: of doing things, to the new way of warfare. And 644 00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:22,239 Speaker 1: jaff understood what so many great leaders of any kind, 645 00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:26,920 Speaker 1: in business, in war, in sports, and politics. He understood 646 00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:34,319 Speaker 1: what so many understood. You must dump the deadweight that 647 00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:38,560 Speaker 1: is working against the culture you're trying to put in, 648 00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:46,160 Speaker 1: or you will never ever ever succeed ever. Bill Parcels, 649 00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:51,319 Speaker 1: the great famous football coach, was infamous for this, he 650 00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:53,840 Speaker 1: would get into a new team. He was famous for 651 00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:56,840 Speaker 1: turning around crappy teams. He would take teams that hadn't 652 00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,319 Speaker 1: won in forever. Parcels gets in there and in a 653 00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:02,759 Speaker 1: year or two their playoff football teams. And one of 654 00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:07,759 Speaker 1: his absolute philosophies was, one third of you are fired 655 00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:12,360 Speaker 1: after the first year period.
