Bulgarian Empire

Chapter 164, the target of public criticism - Wilson

Britain and France are still arguing over the German issue, and the Americans have also started their own actions. Wilson convened a group of small countries to form a League of Nations.

Britain and France are not interested in the League of Nations, but it does not mean that they can tolerate the Americans doing things under their noses. Britain and France in this time and space are much stronger!

Although Ferdinand was very interested in the League of Nations, it is a pity that it is impossible to gain the dominant right now, and it is better to be a younger brother for others, so Constantine also joined the camp of Britain and France against the American version of the League of Nations.

...

Constantine suggested: "Why don't we form the League of Nations? Save the Americans from messing around there!"

"Picking peaches!"

These three words came to Lloyd George and Poincaré's minds at the same time. They have no pressure on "picking peaches", especially picking Americans!

With the current strength of the alliance between Britain, France and the three countries, it is simply not comparable to the Americans, and the influence is even farther away. As long as countries are not stupid, they will know which side to stand on!

After contemplating for a moment, Lloyd George said, "This is a great idea!"

John Bull is the best at doing this kind of thing. In this era, the British have played diplomacy to the peak. The most typical performance is in the three periods before, during and after the First World War!

Before the outbreak of the World War, they played with the Germans; after the outbreak of the World War, the British fully demonstrated their ability to win allies; after the World War, the British still suppressed the aggressive Americans.

Judging from these methods, it is enough to see how powerful their diplomatic methods are, and this time and space is no exception. Niu Niu's diplomatic methods are still the best in Europe. There is no way to compare them.

Compared with the strength of the Americans in history, their military strength is less than half of that of the same period. If John Bull still makes concessions to them now, they will no longer be the hegemony of the world!

Don't think that the Americans of the later generations are very powerful, thinking that they are also very powerful in this era, and it is still the era of the British.

In fact, due to the Ferdinand butterfly effect, the duration of the European war was shortened by two years, and the strength of the European continent was better preserved. The Americans still cannot be compared with Europe!

This is not only in the military, but in terms of technology, Americans are also lagging behind Europe in general. We have to wait for the arrival of the Great Depression in the European continent. After a large number of talents from European countries immigrated to the United States, the Americans will catch up.

Even in the most powerful economic field of the Americans, the total national economic income of the Americans in 1914 was 13.7 billion US dollars, which has surpassed the 11 billion US dollars of the British, but this is only the native land, and the colonies are still better than the British !

Of course, in terms of industry, because the Americans have a larger home market, their total industrial volume has already surpassed that of the British. Now their industrial strength has surpassed the sum of the three countries of Britain, France, and Paul, and it still includes the industries in the colonies of the three countries. !

On March 13th, the League of Nations was formed under the initiative of Britain, France, and the Three Kingdoms. In just half a year, 28 countries applied to join. The influence of the Triple Alliance is remarkable!

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Wilson simply chose to quit. He directly overturned the table to express that he would not play. In the near future, he will regret this hasty behavior.

On March 15, Wilson, who was unwilling to fail, gave a speech that shocked the world at Notre Dame de Paris: "Today we came to Paris with peace and sincerity, but the result made me very disappointed. There is still no fairness in this world!

The strong dominate everything, and the weak are precarious!

This is not the world we want. Only the notarization and fairness, the abolition of unequal treatment, and the peaceful coexistence of everyone is our ideal world. Today I propose here:

(1) Openly conclude peace treaties among countries, without secret diplomacy.

(2) Regardless of wartime or peacetime,

Absolute freedom of navigation on the high seas;

(3) Remove economic barriers between nations and establish fair trade treaties;

(4) Full mutual assurance that the armaments of each country must be reduced to the minimum level necessary to ensure its own internal security;

(5) Adjust the requirements for the colonies, treat the colonized people equally, realize the autonomy of the various ethnic groups in the colonies, and allow them to be free and independent;

(6) All countries withdraw their troops from Italy to ensure the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Italy;

(7) The withdrawal of German troops from Belgium and the restoration of Belgian independence;

(8) The German army withdraws from France, and Alsace-Lorraine returns to France;

(9) The Bulgarian army withdraws from Germany to protect the territorial integrity of Germany;

(1o) Bulgaria withdraws from Romania, Serbia, Montenegro and the Ottoman Empire;

(11) National self-determination of the Ottoman Empire;

(12) Self-determination of the nations of the Austro-Hungarian Empire;

(13) self-determination of the nations of the Russian Empire;

(14) Restoration of Poland's independence.

I think human nature can be changed, why can't everyone treat the losers loosely? As long as everyone is more tolerant, wars are completely avoidable, and conflicts of interest between countries can also be reconciled. We just lack a tolerant heart!

..."

Wilson's speech directly pushed the United States to the opposite of Britain, France and Bulgaria, and Constantine was so angry that if the goal of the Americans was achieved, Bulgaria would have no future! No, not even now!

It is rare for Lloyd George and Poincaré to show the same hatred. The Americans are breaking the foundation of their colonial empire!

Once the colonies are allowed to become independent on a large scale, will Britain and France still be a world empire? Britain and France without colonies may still be a big country, but they are definitely not big powers, most of their strength is in the colonies!

The idea of ​​the Americans is indeed very good. As long as they hit the colonial empire, they will be the boss of the era. Coupled with a trick of national self-consciousness, they can disintegrate most of the world's powerful countries.

It's a pity they forgot that once the window paper is pierced, the consequences will be very serious. Their proposal is not only disgusting to the three countries of Britain, France, the Russian Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, and Japan. Which one is not right for them now? glare!

It's no wonder that after the First World War, the decimated British were able to fend off the ambitious Americans. There are so many people who are unhappy with the Americans. If they don't know how to use them, is it still John Bull?

Constantine said angrily: "Mr. Wilson, I suggest that you should reflect on yourself first!

For example, let the Southern Federation become independent first, and then allow the Indians to establish an independent country, and the blacks in your country also need to establish an independent country. By the way, your west is not stable, and they also want independence. Why don’t you give them a chance?

After you go back and finish these things, and then come here to say these things, I think the letter will be more convincing, and we can feel your sincerity even more! "

As soon as Constantine finished speaking, there was thunderous applause. Obviously, this is the European continent, and it is also the home court of the French. Everyone does not have a good impression of the Americans.

From a historical point of view, the independence of the United States is still due to the selfless help of the French. If they hadn't smashed the British so hard, the Continental Allied Forces would not have been able to establish the United States of America.

But after the Americans achieved independence, they couldn't wait to stab the French. At the critical moment of the French European War, it would be more appropriate to forcibly buy the French colonies in America, or to grab them hard, so that the French can have a good impression of them. Strange!

Now that they are stabbing again, some people will embarrass them. For example, someone in the British delegation took the lead and shouted: "Wilson, you son of a bitch, go back to America!"

Then there was no more. Under the unanimous request of everyone, Wilson had to end in despair. Even if someone supports him, he dare not defend him now. He dares to offend so many countries at the same time. Apart from the Americans, no one else can do it!

Although Wilson was knocked off the stage, the content of his speech spread, and the independents in the colonies knew who to ask for help. It can be said that the Americans ignited the first fire of the colonial independence movement!

In history, Britain and France have been exhausted for a long time to put out fires, so that they gradually declined.

Among the major colonial empires, Bulgaria has the least pressure. There is no other reason, it is "too much sand and too little population"!

Don’t look at the current Bulgarian colonial area including about 1.8 million square kilometers in Libya + nearly 2.9 million square kilometers in the Arabian Peninsula + about 600,000 square kilometers in Iraq and parts of Iran + about 700,000 square kilometers in Asia Minor Peninsula and Transcaucasus +370,000 square kilometers, but the total population of these areas is less than 15 million!

The current total population of Libya is less than 500,000, including more than 40,000 Italian immigrants and more than 20,000 Bulgarian garrisons. The vast land is extremely sparsely populated, and revolution and independence do not exist!

The total population of Italian Somalia is less than 650,000, including some Italian immigrants, so it is impossible to make trouble!

The Asia Minor peninsula and the Transcaucasus region will have a population of 10 million in 1950. Now that they have just experienced a major war, the total population is less than 4.5 million, including Armenians and other ethnic groups.

Syria has a population of about 1.2 million, Lebanon has a population of about 300,000, Jordan has a population of about 300,000, and Palestine has a population of about 500,000. (Including the numbers of Greek and Romanian immigrants) The above areas were divided into the Arabian Peninsula when calculating the area, and the total population of other Bulgarian-controlled areas on the Arabian Peninsula is about 4.1 million.

The total population of Iraq and parts of Iran is about 2.2 million. (Remarks: The above information comes from the Atlas of World Population Statistics, and has been modified in combination with the impact of actual wars!)

In contrast, the influence on the British is the greatest. Who told them that their colony has the largest territory and the largest population, and it is naturally the most troublesome to deal with troubles!

Constantine doesn't know what the final outcome of the wave of national independence induced by the Americans will be, but he knows that now he must unite with Britain, France and other countries, and first drive the United States away from the meeting.

Constantine hesitated again and again, and finally proposed: "In view of the Americans' provocation, I think the League of Nations must give them severe punishment!"

Lloyd-George frowned, and he also wanted to seek bad luck from the Americans, but they monopolize a piece of the mainland, and it is beyond their reach!

"Oh, what's Constantine's proposal?" Lloyd George asked with concern

"The League of Nations strictly inspects American trade goods, prohibits them from selling weapons and equipment to the outside world, disrupts the world order, and can raise their tariffs appropriately!" Constantine replied cautiously

Lloyd-George was startled. If the Americans were allowed to sell weapons to the colonies, sooner or later they would cause chaos. This was absolutely intolerable to the British Empire. Raising American tariffs was also a good way of warning!

Before he could speak again, French President Poincaré had already made a decision: "Okay! Let the Americans learn a lesson and let them know that it is not their turn to make decisions in this world!"

Sure enough, after having a common enemy, everyone's relationship has improved a lot. Americans probably never dreamed that the international alliance they proposed would become the best tool for Britain, France and France to fight against them!

Lloyd-George smiled slightly and said: "Since everyone agrees, let's propose to the League of Nations to ban the export of weapons and equipment from the United States to disrupt world peace. At the same time, everyone will raise tariffs on goods imported from the United States. Thirty percent would be a reasonable number!"

"Okay!" The two said in unison.

After such a toss, the economic development of the Americans will inevitably be severely affected in the future. With British and French naval bases around the world, as long as they randomly check American merchant ships from time to time, it is enough for them to bear it, not to mention the increase in tariffs?

As for whether the League of Nations will be passed, just think about how many people the Americans have offended. The US government, which has a lot of war money, has begun to drift. Recently, it has made mistakes one after another. There is no pressure against them.

Regarding the implementation of the League of Nations, Constantine has no hope. As long as these countries that are dissatisfied with the Americans can implement it, he will be satisfied. No matter how bad it is, as long as Britain, France and the three countries impose high import taxes on them, it will be enough to interrupt the United States. People have developed a high economy!

Of course, don’t think about destroying the American economy, unless they can make the League of Nations a monolith, and everyone can block the Americans together, it’s still possible!

Now, at most, the United Kingdom, France, and the three countries will unite to target the Americans. In addition, even Japan, which has an extremely bad relationship with the United States, cannot do it. Who told them to import scrap iron from the Americans?
