Romanian Eagle

Chapter 461: Treaty of Riga

As the new capital of Latvia, Gary, today a negotiation involving the three countries of Suboro is taking place here. In addition to the three parties involved in this negotiation, Britain, France, the United States and other countries also sent personnel to observe.

As for why it is different from the two parties in the original history, it is necessary to talk about the issue of Romania's seizure of Western Ukraine. Because Rosso had not conducted diplomatic negotiations on this except for one fight before. In this negotiation, Lenin and others were based on the attitude of resolving the border issues on the Western Front, and demanded that they must be tripartite talks. And Edel immediately agreed, and that's why this meeting took place.

Don't think that Edel agrees to agree to this talks. Luo Bo is a comrade-in-arms, and countries such as Britain, France and the United States are sidelined. If Luo Su alone negotiated, how could there be such a big advantage.

As for the Polish side, Piłsudski, who had made great achievements this time, was abandoned. Because the current leadership of the government is controlled by Dmowski’s National Democratic Party, his Greater Poland claims have been ignored by the other party. To blame, he can only be blamed for his early defeat, which allowed Dmowski to find the opportunity to seize the leadership of the parliament, which is currently the most powerful in the Polish political structure.

As for the customs union between Poland and Romania, Dmowski also knew about it, and he did not oppose it. Although he saw Germany as the main threat, the Soviet Russia behind it would not ignore it. As for Romania, who is currently the only one capable of helping Poland, how could he make offensive actions is also a common perception in Polish politics.

Even after the war, many people believed that Romania was more important than Britain and France, because they could directly receive Romanian reinforcements. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the Romanian army has also been shown incisively and vividly in this war.

As for the Soviet Union and Russia, Lenin and others discovered that they wanted to save the Polish workers and peasants who were oppressed by the Polish landlords and aristocrats, but the Polish workers, peasants and soldiers and the landlord aristocrats united to fight the Russians. Only then did Soviet Russia realize that it is not so easy to put class ideology above the sovereignty of other countries. Therefore, the Soviet-Russian policy has also been transformed from the unity of the working class of the world into a realistic socialism in one country.

Therefore, the three parties were sincere in a peace talk. This time, Poland sent a delegation headed by President of Parliament Dmowski, while Romania sent a delegation headed by Prime Minister Bretianu. As for the Soviet Union, it sent a delegation headed by the People’s Commissar for Foreign Affairs Chicherin. Delegation.

As for the host, Latvia, apart from providing venues and security, this small newborn country has no other demonstrated strength.

After everyone was seated, the Soviet-Russian representative Chicherin who proposed the peace talks took the lead to speak.

"Everyone, we are here in this negotiation to resolve the territorial dispute between the three parties. This is good for us and the people. It can restore peace to the war-torn countries and spend more energy on restoring production."

Chicherin put the reasons for the Soviet-Russian peace talks on a moral high as soon as he started, and he did not have the spirit to liberate the whole of Europe before.

So this time one of the negotiators, Dmowski Zichellin responded. "Mr. Chicherin is right. We are here in a peaceful manner. However, the territorial dispute must be resolved first, and the issue of ownership of the region must be divided, otherwise the peace talks will not yield results."

Prime Minister Bretianu, who was about to retire, nodded in agreement with Dmowski's speech. They need to see Soviet Russia show sincerity before they can continue talking.

And Chicherin quickly showed the sincerity of the Soviet Union.

"Mr. Dmowski is right. The territorial disputes to be negotiated really need to be divided first. With a peaceful attitude, we intend to abandon the territorial claim to the West Belarus region and express our sincerity. As for the dispute with Romania. , Our side will also give up Rivno and Shepetovka as a condition in exchange for the prerequisite of good-college friendship."

The conditions given by Chicherin for Soviet Russia are quite generous. This is based on the Soviet Union's intention to recognize the Curzon Line, and in addition to the Lida, Pinsk, and Baranovitch that Poland had previously occupied. You must know that the Curzon Line is bounded by Brites, which is more than 80,000 square kilometers more than before.

Demowski heard the conditions given by the Soviet Union a little moved, but he still needs to consider the attitude of Prime Minister Bretianu.

As for Bretianu when he heard that Russia also had territorial compensation for Romania, he was still a little surprised. Rivno and Shepetov also have a combined area of ​​nearly 30,000 square kilometers, which is a good compensation for Romania.

In fact, in the internal discussions between the Soviet Union and Russia, Lenin and others felt that Romania was more threatening than Poland. In order to stabilize Romania, it is reasonable to give a small amount of territory. After all, Soviet Russia currently does not have the strength to attack Romania, and Soviet Russia has always been in a state of isolation internationally. In order to break this state, it is necessary to stop territorial wars in European countries as the primary task.

Because in the Polish war, Lenin also saw the joint resistance of European countries. Moreover, the working class in Western countries has not shown any armed resistance, which made him feel that the current conditions for the world revolution are still immature. Therefore, the next development of Soviet Russia will become the most important thing. After all, Soviet Russia does not currently have the conditions to fight capitalism.

Although the two countries are more tempted by the conditions given by the Soviet Union, they have not yet reached the point of immediate agreement. So next they want to squeeze Soviet Russia to see if they can force some more benefits. After all, they still have Soviet prisoners in their hands, and there are nearly 400,000 people in Germany, which is a good bargaining chip.

"We have all heard the sincerity of Soviet Russia, and now let us talk about our conditions."

After getting hints from Dmowski, Prime Minister Bretianu began to state their terms. "First of all, the issue of compensation for Poland in this war. Because the Soviet invasion caused huge losses to the Polish people, we hereby ask Soviet Russia to compensate 150 million rubles in compensation. In addition, Soviet Russia should return Polish cultural relics in history. In addition, Soviet Russia should also consider Minsk as Polish territory in the disputed territory. In response, Poland waived its sovereignty over other disputed territories.

As for our country, because of its merger with the Ukrainian government, our country also has the conditions for swearing sovereignty over Ukraine. However, in a peaceful manner, our country requires that in addition to Cairovno and Shepetov, Zhytomyr is also required as territory. In response, our country will no longer swear sovereignty over other Ukrainian territories. At the same time, it is not asking for compensation. "

Chicherin couldn't help frowning after hearing Bretianu's remarks about the conditions of the two countries. Minsk is the most important city in Belarus, and Moscow will not agree to it. Zhytomyr is the last city in Kiev facing the Romanian border. If it is given to Romania, Kiev will directly face Romanian pressure. This is also a condition that cannot be promised.

Thinking of this, Zicherin couldn't help but said: "Your Excellency, we cannot agree to the conditions you have given. Minsk and Zhytomyr are an inseparable part of our side, and we cannot reach peace conditions on this. "

At this time, Bretianu retorted: "Why is it impossible? You have to know that your country lost in this war. If you lose, you need to pay compensation. This is international practice. I don't believe you don't know. "

Facing the aggressive attitude of Prime Minister Bretianu, Chicherin couldn't help but fight back: "Our country, as a working-class country, will not accept your blackmail. Your condition is blackmail in our view. We negotiate peace in a responsible manner, not to accept blackmail."

After talking, Chicherin looked at Bretianu with an angry face, but the Prime Minister completely ignored his angry expression, and even was in the mood to talk and laugh with others.

But then Dmowski stepped forward to be a peacemaker.

"What needs to be discussed during the negotiation is normal. It is normal for the two parties to have inconsistent conditions. Everyone is a diplomat, and I believe they all understand this truth."

Even though Dmowski was a peacemaker, he was secretly taunting Chicherin. But everyone is engaged in diplomacy, and the stigma has long been ignored. Chicherin's face calmed down after getting the steps.

So the three parties then began arduous negotiations around each other's conditions. Fortunately, the three parties are the same in sincerity, so that this peace talks can continue.

And this negotiation also lasted for three months. The final result of the negotiation was Lida in West Belarus, the Pinsk and Baranovel regions were ceded to Poland, and Minsk was still the capital of Soviet Belarus~www.wuxiahere.com~ In addition, Soviet Russia needed to pay Poland 80 million rubles , As compensation (actually compensation) for Poland’s economic investment in the Russian Empire during the carve-out period. Moreover, the Soviet Union needed to return to the Polish artworks that were looted by the Russians after 1772. Then they gave up claiming war reparations from each other.

As for the terms of the Soviet Union and Romania, Rivne and Shepetov belonged to Romania. In addition, Soviet Russia gave Romania 50 million rubles of supplies as a condition for Romania to give up Zhytomyr, and it was also the end of the previous Russo War.

In addition, the captured soldiers must also be returned to their home countries within six months. In addition, the three parties can no longer claim sovereignty over each other's territory.

In private, Romania also had a secret discussion with Poland on the issue of Eastern Galicia, and finally Poland gave up its sworn sovereignty over the territory. In response, Poland can call on the Poles in the region to return to the motherland, which also eases the two countries' favorable moves due to the dispute in the region.

After all, the characteristics of the Poles make it difficult for Romania to assimilate them, and sending them back to Poland is also what Edel would like to see.

So when the dust settled, Edel set his sights on the country.
