Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Britain and France were still arguing over Germany, and the Americans had begun their own operations. Wilson rallied a group of small nations to form a League of Nations.

Britain and France have no interest in the League of Nations, but that doesn't mean 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 was a pity that it was impossible to gain dominance now. It would be better to be a younger brother to 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 messing around there!"

"Pick peaches!"

Lloyd-George and Poengale came up with these three words at the same time, and they have no pressure on "picking peaches", especially picking Americans!

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

After a moment of contemplation, Lloyd-George said, "That's a great idea!"

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

Before the outbreak of the World War, they toyed with the Germans on top of applause; after the outbreak of the World War, the British fully demonstrated their ability to pull allies; after the World War, the British still suppressed the aggressive Americans.

Judging from these means, it is enough to see the strength of their diplomatic means, and this time and space is no exception. Niu Niu's diplomatic means are still the best in Europe. Can't compare to them.

The strength of the Americans is greater than in history,

The military strength is still less than half of that of the same period. If John Bull had to make concessions to them now, they would no longer be the world hegemons!

Don't think that the Americans of 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 Big Six was better preserved. The Americans still cannot be compared with Europe!

This is not just in terms of military, but in technology as a whole, Americans are now behind Europe, and we have to wait for the arrival of the Great Depression in Europe. After a large number of talents from European countries immigrated to the United States, American talents caught 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 exceeded the 1.1 billion US dollars of the British, but this is only the homeland, and the colonies are still better than the British. !

Of course, in industry, because Americans have a larger local market, their total industrial output has already overtaken the British. Now their industrial strength has surpassed the sum of the three countries of Britain, France, and the three countries, and it still includes the industry in the colonies of the three countries. !

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

Seeing things that could not be done, Wilson simply chose to quit. He directly overturned the table and said 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 Cathedral: "Today we came to Paris with peaceful sincerity, but the result disappointed me very much, the world is still not fair!

The strong dominate everything, and the weak are precarious!

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

(1) Peace treaties are openly concluded between countries, and there is no secret diplomacy.

(2) Absolute freedom of navigation on the high seas, regardless of wartime or peacetime;

(3) Remove economic barriers between countries and establish trade equality treaties;

(4) fully ensure each other that the armaments of all countries must be reduced to the minimum level to ensure their own internal security;

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

(6) The withdrawal of all countries from Italy to ensure the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Italy;

(7) German troops withdraw from Belgium and restore Belgian independence;

(8) German troops withdraw from France, and Alsace-Lorraine is returned to France;

(9) The withdrawal of the Bulgarian army from Germany to safeguard the territorial integrity of Germany;

(1o) Bulgaria's withdrawal from Romania, Serbia, Montenegro and the Ottoman Empire;

(11) National self-determination in 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) Restoring the independence of Poland.

I think human nature can be changed, why can't people treat losers loosely? As long as everyone is more tolerant, wars can be completely avoided, 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 the three countries of Britain, France, and Bulgaria. Constantine was so angry that he was gnashing his teeth. If the goal of the Americans was achieved, Bulgaria would have no future! No, not even now!

Lloyd-George and Poincaré have rarely shown a common enemy. The Americans are poking the foundations of their colonial empires!

Once the colonies are made independent on a large scale, then Britain and France or the world empires? Britain and France without colonies may still be a big country, but they are definitely not foreign 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. Together with a move of national self-consciousness, they can disintegrate most of the powerful countries in the world.

It's a pity they forgot that once the window paper is pierced, the consequences are very serious. Their proposal is not only disgusting to the three countries of Britain, France, the Russian Empire, Austria-Hungary, 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 devastated British were able to block the ambitious Americans back. There are so many people who look at the Americans unhappy. If they don't know how to use it, is it still John Bull?

Constantine said angrily: "Mr. Wilson, I suggest you to reflect on yourselves first!

For example, let the Confederacy of Yuhi be independent first, and then let the Indians establish their own country. And the black people in your country also need to establish their own country. By the way, your western region is also unstable. They also want to be independent. Why don't you give them a chance?

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

As soon as Constantine finished speaking, he was greeted with thunderous applause. Obviously, this is the European Big 6 and the home court of the French. Everyone has no good feelings for the Americans.

From a historical point of view, the United States was able to become independent thanks to the selfless help of the French. If it wasn't for their stubborn fight against the British, they would not have been able to establish the United States of America on the basis of that big 6 coalition.

But after the Americans achieved independence, they couldn't wait to stab the French. At the critical moment of the French war in Europe, it was more appropriate to forcibly buy the French colonies in the Americas, or to rob them. Strange!

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

Then there was no more, and under the unanimous request of everyone, Wilson had to end in a slump. Even if someone supports him, they don't dare to defend him now. They dare to offend so many countries at the same time. Except for the Americans, no one else can do it!

Although Wilson was knocked off the stage, the content of his speech still spread out, and the independent elements of the colony knew who to turn to for help. It can be said that the Americans ignited the first fire of the colonial independence movement!

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

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

Don't look at the colonial area of ​​Bulgarian civil rights now, 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 some parts of Iran + about 700,000 square kilometers in Asia Minor 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 50,000, including more than 40,000 Italian immigrants and a Bulgarian garrison of more than 20,000 people.

The total population of Italian Somalia is less than 650,000, including some Italian immigrants. If you want to make trouble, you can't do it!

The Asia Minor peninsula and the Caucasus region will have to wait until 195o to have a population of 10 million. Now it has just experienced a war, and the total population is less than 4.5 million, including Armenians and other ethnic groups.

The population of Syria is about 1.2 million, the population of Lebanon is about 30,000, the population of Jordan is about 30,000, and the population of Palestine is about 50,000. (Including the figures of Greek and Romanian immigrants) The above areas are divided into the Arabian Peninsula when calculating the area, and the total population of other Bulgaria-controlled areas in the Arabian Peninsula is about 4.1 million.

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

In contrast, they have the greatest influence on the British. Whoever calls them the largest colony and the largest population will naturally have the most trouble if they want to deal with trouble!

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

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

Lloyd-George frowned. He also wanted to look for the bad luck of the Americans, but it was beyond the reach of others to own a piece of the big 6!

"Oh, what does Constantine propose?" Lloyd-George asked with concern.

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

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

Before he could speak again, French President Poincaré had already made a decision: "Okay! Let's teach the Americans a lesson first, and let them know that the world is not up to them yet!"

Sure enough, after having a common enemy, everyone's relationship has improved a lot. The Americans probably never dreamed that the League of Nations they proposed would become the best tool for Britain, France and the three countries to attack them!

Lloyd-George smiled slightly and said: "Since everyone has agreed, then we will propose to the League of Nations that the United States should be banned from exporting weapons and equipment to disrupt world peace, and at the same time, we will increase the tariffs on imported goods from the United States. I think Thirty percent would be a reasonable number!"

"Okay!" The two said in unison

Such a tossing will inevitably have a very serious impact on the economic development of the Americans 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 increased tariffs?

As for whether the League of Nations will pass, just think about how many people the Americans have offended. The U.S. government, which is rich in the war, has already begun to float. Recently, it has made a series of mistakes.

As for the implementation of the League of Nations, Constantine has no hope. As long as these countries that are dissatisfied with the Americans can enforce them, 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. The economy is booming!

Of course, don't even think about breaking down the American economy, unless they can make the League of Nations become a monolith, and everyone can block the Americans together, there is still a chance!

Now, at most, the three countries of Britain, France, and Bulgaria will unite against the Americans. In addition, even Japan, which has extremely bad relations with the United States, can't do it. Who told them that they have to import scrap iron to the Americans?
