Chapter 302: The Locarno Peace Conference

Perhaps the most important event in 1925 was a peace negotiation between the European countries, the main content of which was that the contradictions in Europe for a period of time in the future needed to be resolved through diplomatic means to prevent the start of war again. Belgium and Germany, the Quadruple Alliance, and some surrounding Eastern European countries, this is the main reason why Britain and France are pushing this matter, and the whole of Europe is like standing on a powder keg, and everyone is very uneasy, lest one accidentally provoke their own enemies, and thus set off the outbreak of war in the whole of Europe.

The venue of the peace conference was in Switzerland, a neutral country, because of the importance of the conference, the participants were all presidents, heads of state, and kings of various countries, and in the Quad Alliance, even several prime ministers were not eligible to participate, because the British king, including the United Kingdom, could go with the prime minister.

Without hesitation, Ernst naturally chose to agree to the other party's invitation, for which Massena also resisted, he was not dissatisfied because the other party did not invite, but simply worried about Ernst's safety, now Ernst is the core of the entire four-nation alliance, very different from the British Prime Minister and the French President.

Britain can do without a current prime minister, France can do without a current president, but only the Quadruple Alliance cannot do without Ernst, otherwise the Czech Duchy will be the Czech Duchy, and the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom will be the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom, and they will never be integrated again.

Maxima was not the only one who dissuaded Ernst, but the prime ministers of several other countries were acting in the same way, whatever their real intentions, but there was one thing that they agreed on, and now they needed a stable four-nation alliance, and only Ernst could do it.

"It could be a trap, a trap for you. Don't forget what you've always said. The winner is king, and the loser is the loser. History is written only for the victors! ”

Massena had not forgotten Ernst's words, but his persuasion was useless, for Ernst had already made up his mind that he would go directly to Switzerland after this trip to Prague.

Ernst's attitude was already aware of Massena, for which he could only sigh secretly, and then took a step back and let Ernst prepare for the worst that could happen. Massena's meaning was simply to ask Ernst to name his successor, the second president of the Quad Alliance.

"Archduke Ferdinand may temporarily take the position of President."

Because the location is different. Ernst didn't call Archduke Ferdinand either, but Massena didn't care about this, he just shook his head, if purely politically, Archduke Ferdinand naturally has no doubt, but in fact it's not that simple, the military is now integrated.

Two years ago, everyone thought that Ernst's four-nation military integration was a good idea, but now it seems that it is very flawed, and if there is no Ernst, then what should the military do? Obeying Archduke Ferdinand naturally can't. Because there are a lot of uneasy factors in it, even if it's barely so. What should be done in the future?

Split? Now that the military is one, who belongs to which country should be decided? If a few kings and crown princes are allowed to win over the military generals, then it will definitely cause the combat effectiveness of the military to decline, and if Britain and France make up their minds at that time, maybe the Habsburgs will be wiped out.

"Charlie, Lorenz, Burcht, Heinrich, they take turns as executive presidents, I don't have that much time to think about these things, Massena!"

Naturally, Maxima's worries were very clear to Ernst, but as she thought, he really didn't have that much time to continue to delay, so he could only come up with a temporary way to support it, to ensure that the rule of the Habsburgs in Eastern Europe was sufficient, and the rest ...... Look at Destiny!

Why should ERNST travel to Switzerland? The reason is simple: Britain and France, in order to allow Ernst, the king of Eastern Europe, to attend the conference, had already hinted that a compromise could be made on the affairs of East Prussia, that is, perhaps after this conference, East Prussia would become a member of the Polish-Lithuanian kingdom.

This was fatal to Ernst's temptation, which had never been done against East Prussia because he was afraid of the actions of the British and French, but if they could really compromise on the matter, it would be worth the risk, even if Masséna's words were unsettling.

Britain and France are big countries after all, and they can't do bad behavior at all, otherwise they won't agree to anything else, even their citizens won't agree to it. War is war, what is it that you try to detain the king of the other side by despicable means? Is this the behavior of a gentleman, a knight? Of course, this time Ernst will also increase his security team, and there will be more than 600 elite security personnel who will follow him to Prague, and two additional regiments of elite army will be allowed to enter Switzerland, but they will only be stationed in fixed places.

Naturally, the military's movements were even greater, with more than ten large air force formations waiting at the airfield, and as long as Ernst had the slightest bad news, they could bomb half of Switzerland in half an hour, and the army was guaranteed to reach the Swiss capital in half an hour. Several other theaters of operations had some of their armies transferred to Eastern Europe, and this time the action was quick and the money spent was certainly not small, but compared to Ernst's security and possible acquisition of East Prussia, everything was worth it.

Although this matter was proposed by Britain and France, they were also worried about what the Quadruple Alliance was doing, so a large number of land forces were also deployed on the border, and Switzerland was the most nervous one, because any country could capture the Swiss capital in half a day at the latest.

Faced with this situation, the President of Switzerland (President of the Federation) has deliberately refused to convene this meeting in Switzerland on more than one occasion, but he can only think about it, after all, none of these countries can be offended by him. If you are not careful, you may be affected by the disaster.

I can't say that a few countries saw his refusal, and they thought about it together, and discussed it and said let's divide Switzerland! Switzerland does not want that result, so it can only endure the dissatisfaction, not only to endure it, but also to be extremely careful to ensure the safety of several presidents, heads of state, and kings.

At the same time, the Forbidden City in East Asia was open for tours, and more than 40,000 3 Klux Klan parties in the United States began to march through the streets, reportedly with more than 200,000 citizens visiting, and at this time Ernst had boarded a plane to Switzerland, which was about to land at Locarno Airport, a small Swiss city. After all, there is no such high-end thing as an airport, and the local government of Galono is not prepared to spend a piece of unjust money to curry favor with several future heads of state, kings, and presidents who don't know if they are enemies.

Airplanes seem to have become the main means of transportation, at least Ernst, the Prime Minister, and the President of France are ready to take such a means of transportation, speed is one thing, safety is also another, after all, there are many places where things like trains can be used to do things. Of course, once the plane has an accident, it is almost a certain death, but even so, the presidents and kings of several countries still choose this kind of transportation.

There were six countries participating in the peace talks, Germany, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, and the Quad Alliance, and perhaps the largest number of people was the Quad Alliance, and the two kings attended the talks together. In fact, Ernst's original intention was not to let Meisimilian participate in this meeting, but Meisimilian suddenly offered to think about it, and Ernst did not refuse.

Mysimian's idea Ernst can probably guess, after all, there will be some risks in this industry, and once Ernst has any accidents, Messilian's position will be very embarrassing, and it is easy for the entire four-nation alliance to collapse quickly, and if Messimilian and Ernst are together, then things will be much better, because the status of the four crown princes is relatively equal.

Although the Four-Nation Alliance would never have been so united without Ernst, it could at least barely maintain its deterrent effect, and it was barely a Four-Nation Alliance.

What is Locarno the most at this time? There are countless black-clad guards, countless reporters, countless high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and there are more than 1,000 reporters waiting at the makeshift airport every day, and with the arrival of a plane, hundreds of security personnel are hurriedly and temporarily supervised here, and the police in Locarno can only be responsible for the periphery, and they dare not say anything about it even if they have complaints, because the identities of those big people are too terrifying.

Although many people do not want to admit it, in fact Ernst is indeed the most noble and central person at this meeting, because as long as he vetoes something, even if other countries unanimously agree, it will be difficult to continue, who can let them unite to represent Western Europe, and Ernst alone can represent Eastern Europe and the entire Far East.

With the constitutional monarchy, the status of the British king plummeted, which can be clearly seen from the appearance of the British king and Ernst, the bodyguards are very elite, but it is difficult to have any characteristics and shock, but when Ernst came to Locarno, his security force really shocked thousands of reporters.

Yishui's black sunglasses, Yishui's 190/90 (kg) height and weight, these are the real elite, not to mention others, even standing there you can clearly perceive a wild beast standing in front of you, one is like this, 100, 200 standing in front of you?

As a few strange-shaped bodyguards appeared in front of the reporters, the reporters invariably took a few steps back, because these are all characters who can make children cry, and the weakest one of them also has the title of human slaughter, it is hard to imagine how so many perverts gathered around Ernst.
