Paris, France.

When the Hungarians rejected the Entente ultimatum and the news of their establishment of a Soviet republic, it came. The three-nation quarrel at the Paris Peace Conference has been going on for two months -- the Paris Peace Conference was not a bargain between the victorious and the defeated countries, but rather the leaders of Britain, the United States, and France among the victorious countries quarreling behind closed doors.

The ideal outcome for Britain at this peace conference would be to regress the continent to the way it was before the world war or the Franco-Prussian War. That is, to continue to maintain the balance of power, several evenly matched powers contain each other, and no one can help the other. French dominance and German dominance are no different from those of Britain.

Unfortunately, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which was originally an important party in the European balance of power, has fallen apart, and Russia, the other link in the European balance of power, has become a difficult Soviet state...... If it is not possible to find a way to turn the situation in Russia in favor of Britain after the Paris Peace Conference, Russia will no longer be a force for maintaining the balance of power in Europe.

The French, on the other hand, proposed a Greater Poland to isolate Russia from Europe, but could the Poles really confront the Russians? Not even a European would believe it.

Moreover, the Poles have always been pro-French! Greater Poland was mostly a hardcore ally of Greater France, and it was France that strengthened. Therefore, the British were not in favor of weakening Germany too much, lest France become strong and difficult to control.

And the French, of course, were eager to smash Germany and swallow it piece by piece! At the very least, it has to be bounded by the Rhine - which would swallow Germany's most important industrial region in one gulp. In this way, France became the largest industrial country in Europe and the second largest in the world, far surpassing Britain. If you add a big wave of hardcore pro-French. Europe will be back to the Napoleonic era overnight!

Not to mention that the British did not agree, even the Americans had to jump up. So Britain and the United States opposed it together!

As for what the Americans want, of course, it is to replace Britain to lead the world -- this substitution is a question of who is the boss among their own brothers, and it is not the same concept as the contradictions between Britain and Germany, Britain and France, and France and Germany. So Woodrow. Wilson's solution to achieving U.S. world leadership is called the League of Nations, which sounds like a bit of a conceptual game......

In short, the Paris Peace Conference lasted for two months, and the Japanese devils Saionji Gongwang and Makino Nobuaki watched the white drama for two months. However, on March 23, when the two Japanese arrived in the Hall of Mirrors of the Palace of Versailles, they found that the presidents, prime ministers, and prime ministers of Britain, France, and the United States were very close, almost meeting head to head around a table and talking in whispers.

"What's going on? Mr. Prime Minister. "Nobuaki Makino didn't dare go up and disturb Wilson, Clemenceau and Lloyd. George's three "overlords" found Italian Prime Minister Orlando, who was sitting on the side, with Erlang's legs crossed and gloating with a look of schadenfreude.

"They found out that the world war is not over yet!" Orlando turned around and said to the Japanese in a rarely cheerful tone.

"The world war is not over yet?" Nobu Makino was stunned, "The Germans repented?" ”

"No, it's not Germany, it's Hungary!" Orlando said, "They rejected the ultimatum and formed a Soviet republic!" ”

"What? What the? "Nobuken Makino and Kotomi Saionji glanced at each other. This is a lot of fun, the peace conference has been held for two months, and the three giants quarrel here every day to share the spoils, but the world war is not over yet, and theoretically even the victory has not been reached!

"So what to do?" Xiyuan Temple Gongwang asked busily.

The Italian Prime Minister replied: "What else can be done, of course we have to beat the Hungarians to a solid beating!" ”

"Who's going to beat it?" Nobuaki Makino asked.

Orlando shrugged, "We Italians are willing to do our best, if our efforts are rewarded accordingly......"

It's a pity that Britain, the United States and France never thought of letting the Italians go to Hungary...... This is certainly a loss for the Hungarians! As for the Japanese, the war in Europe had nothing to do with them, and they only had to think about how to get their hands on Germany's rights and interests in Shandong.

And the armies of Britain, the United States and France actually didn't want to go to Hungary either, because they found the road to Hungary very difficult......

……

The road to Hungary was difficult for the British, French, and Americans. Because they did not share a border with the Hungarians, and Germany and Austria had not yet signed a harsh treaty, it was theoretically possible that Germany and Austria would not accept the terms of the Entente and choose war!

So it is not feasible to go to Hungary through the territory of Germany and Austria - if it must pass, it will have to negotiate with Germany and Austria, at least give the conditions for lifting the blockade, right?

If Germany and Austria could not be taken, then the Entente would have to enter Hungary by land from three directions: Croatia, Serbia and Romania.

"The Hungarians are very hateful, they sabotaged the railway, blew up many railway bridges, and now the railway traffic from Croatia, Romania and Serbia to the Hungarian plain has been completely interrupted!"

"The water transport of the Danube has also been interrupted! They laid mines in the Danube! ”

"They also surrounded our two Moroccan regiments in Budapest, disarmed them and deported them to Austria. This is a declaration of war against the Entente, against France! ”

"Yes, this is a declaration of war! The Entente countries can't back down, they must give them something powerful! ”

"That's right, you must give them some cruelty!"

The discussion became intense, and Clemenceau the "Tiger" was the most excited, jumping to his feet and shouting and killing. British Prime Minister Lloyd's. George also threw away his gentlemanly demeanor and chimed in. The Hungarians not only refused to give in, but also formed a Soviet republic! This is not at all the same thing as that "fake Soviet" of the Germans!

According to the reports of the military and special delegations of the Entente countries expelled to Vienna, the ruling Hungarian Socialist Unity Party has openly stated its desire to build the proletariat ****! And it's still being implemented. Immediately after the "seizure" of power (in fact, it could not be counted as a seizure, it was the Caroli government that could not do it and gave up power) power, they issued a decree on the creation of the Red Army! The Hungarian Red Army set up political commissars exactly on the model of the Soviet Russian Red Army, acting as the real power holders of the units, and the professional officers (mainly old officers and hired German-Austrian veterans) were only their staff.

The Hungarian judiciary was also completely revolutionized, with the old judiciary abolished, a new revolutionary court in charge of the original workers' trials, and the revolutionary people's police replacing the old police.

On the economic front, the first manifesto issued by the Hungarian Soviet Government was the nationalization of banks, mines, large industrial enterprises, means of transport and large estates. Subsequently, the Hungarian Soviet Government issued a decree that foreign trade should be monopolized by the state, and the Supreme Council of the National Economy was established to manage the economic work of the whole country.

After the promulgation and implementation of this series of decrees, the leaders of the Entente were already aware of the fact that the Soviet revolution was spreading in Europe! The second real Soviet state, already in Europe!

"Mr. Prime Minister, Mr. Prime Minister!" U.S. President Woodrow. Wilson suddenly spoke in an extremely solemn tone to Clemenceau and Lloyd. "The revolution in Russia has not yet been extinguished," said George, "and Hungary has become the second Soviet republic!" If we fail to unite and curb the spread of the revolution, a new world war may begin! ”
