Chapter 893: The Washington Conference (25)
"How's the meeting going?"
While the representatives of various countries in the venue were still discussing Soviet Russia, in one of the seats of the venue, several people looked at the meeting being held in the venue through the window, and couldn't help but ask the person closest to the window.
For such a big conference, of course, many people will be curious about it.
This is true even for some people within the government, and of course, the most curious people in the world are probably the so-called journalists. After all, this kind of news is usually related to their eating, and it is conceivable that unless they want to starve to death, it is absolutely impossible not to be curious...
But even if you're not a journalist, you're usually curious about these kinds of meetings, which can basically affect the whole world.
It is absolutely impossible for the vast majority of people not to be curious about such a meeting. Especially in the case that the secrecy level of this meeting is not very good, and there are no special security measures for the whole meeting, there are more people who want to fish in troubled watersββββββ and the security measures of the entire venue cannot be said to be none, after all, it is a meeting held in the United States by representatives of various countries anyway!
There is no doubt that if any accident happened to all these delegates in the United States, then the prestige of the US Government would be absolutely ruined, and the entire United States would not be able to raise its head in the international community because of this incident, because they could not even protect some of the 'distinguished guests' who were holding meetings in their countries.
In a way, such a country is no matter how powerful it may be on the surface. It's just a piece of waste...
It is conceivable that if this kind of thing really happens, even the current US government can be described as in terms of prestige. But because of such a thing. It will definitely be disgraced, and I am afraid that there will be no way to compete with Britain or some other countries for the number one position in the world for at least a few decades after that.
It is also because of this relationship that the Americans have made a lot of arrangements for the security of this meeting.
It's just that some things can't be done too obviously, and the most important point is that there is not much research on such things in this era. Therefore, the security measures of the entire venue are mainly outside the venue, and a large number of police and even military personnel are deployed outside the venue to ensure that no one enters the venue during or after the meeting...
Anyone who wants to enter the venue. Except for government officials in various countries, it is basically necessary to conduct a very detailed inspection.
Of course, because it takes face to live in the past. Therefore, very few of these people directly followed the leaders of various countries into the venue, and basically two groups of people went their separate ways, and they only followed each other after the inspection. It's possible to see each other...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
In order not to be embarrassed at the meeting. Naturally, the Americans took security measures for this meeting. Okay, it may seem a bit exaggerated to say that it may seem like an exaggeration, but for this era when all of them were still in a state of enlightenment, and even assassination and other things were relatively amateurish, the Americans did have a very strong defense force on the periphery of the venue. οΌ
It can even be said that even a relatively small unit, such as an infantry regiment or something. If you don't use weapons and equipment such as artillery and mortars, I am afraid that you may not be able to run into the venue.
Even those who are called the uncrowned kings. In the face of such a security force, it is also a feather to return. I don't know how many reporters have been arrested by the police for wanting to enter this venueββββββ and daring to sneak into the venue at such a time is basically not much different from looking for death.
After being caught, he was naturally beaten up, and in addition, I am afraid that he will inevitably be imprisoned.
It is also because of this that there are basically no outsiders in the venue. Even if there is a little, it can be said that it is pitiful. And basically they came in because of special reasons, so it can be said that they have nothing to do with the journalist industry.
But as mentioned earlier, there is still a big gap between the security measures of this era and later generations. Especially in the absence of the elaborate assassination methods of later generations, the security measures of this era are inevitably a little rudimentary.
Although, for security reasons, the Americans did set up an almost airtight defensive line on the periphery of the venue. But inside, it's more or less ...
At least in it, the precautions are not very strict, to paraphrase it, it is just ββββββ~
Especially when facing the staff in the venue, although the venue also has its own system, but usually as long as it is an acquaintance, this system is basically equivalent to giving it for nothing...
Just like now, the few people who were lying on the windows just now were all the staff in the venue, and what they were curious about was of course what was happening in the venue.
"There should be no problem, right?" was the one who was the first to lie on the window, and at the same time the one who knew the most about the current meetingββββββ of course, just compared to the few people behind him, at least through a window, he would never know much. At least according to what I've just seen, the situation inside is still relatively good, not like the last meeting, when a fight was almost about to start, and they can be called a mess of harmony between each other..."
In saying this, the man obviously remembered that not long ago in the past passing treaty, the representatives of various countries were almost on the verge of fighting.
But this time the incident was obviously unexpected, that is, the people inside not only did not fight, but also seemed to talk quite well.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"yes, the last meeting was almost over. I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat. With that, the other interjected. There was a time when I thought this meeting was going to fail. I didn't expect to hold on to it until this time..."
Another man spoke. "Yes, the differences at the meeting at that time were indeed going to be bigger, but this time the situation was completely different, this time the situation was obviously better than the last time, and the most important thing was that it did not involve too much of the interests of various countries, so the time for countries to agree should be relatively good, of course. There is another problem, but it should not be a big problem, and the head of the Chinese premier is quite useful. The idea of bringing the Turks over is a very good idea. β
Although a few people can already be called cautious, on the other hand, their movements are still a little louder after all. So it didn't take long for someone to look at them.
It's just to look at you. Although many people have seen these sneaky people, there are almost no people who have checked them. The reason is also very simple, because these people can be said to know each other, just like the previous one, then oh is just a well-guarded place, in fact, the power of the venue is not very strong...
In other words, the only place where the defense is strong is outside the venue. As for the inside, basically the people inside don't care. Then it's totally possible to stay a little longer...
For those young people, the moving ground in front of them was indeed attracting them.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"But then again..."Seeing that the atmosphere in the venue was not bad, and the views on the matter had been agreed, a person suddenly stood up and looked at Li Liang. According to you, Mr. Prime Minister, if we make certain concessions in exchange for the Turks turning their heads on us, how many concessions do we need to make? Is it territorial, or in the current treaty with the Turks. With that, the man continued. It's kind of interesting here, but I'm more curious about what's inside. β
"We all know very well that Turkey's territory is basically empty now. It's like Turkey's territories in the Near East, such as Syria and whatever, have basically been occupied by the French, and other than that, China, especially in the Middle East, where all the territories have basically become the territory of the Communist government, such as the Iraqi provinces. So in trying to win over Turkey, do we need to abandon these interests as well? β
Hearing the man say this, the people present couldn't help but shake their heads slightly and decided not to think about it anymore.
It's just that some people don't have to think about it, but some people have to think about it, such as the national government, and then the French government, after all, these lands are basically already belonging to the above-mentioned countries.
Especially in the Middle East, where the government has been prepared, a large number of development projects have been launched, such as the expansion of rivers and high-speed railways......
It can be said that no matter what the Communist government does, it is clear that the Communist government will not abandon those colonies in the Middle East, and there are several other governments like the Communist...
After all, it's all already in hand, and it's obvious that they just give it up like this, and it's a strange thing if they are willing. In particular, the Communist government must know that all that is buried under the soil of the Middle East is oil. If it is said that it is not clear, it is OK to finish everything, but now the national government does not know how many people are aware of this matter, and it will not be good for the national government to destroy several provinces in the Middle East for the sake of one Turkey.
In fact, the most unfavorable news for Yan Shao is probably this...
In a way, it can even be said that even if the Turks surrendered to Soviet Russia, the losses would probably be greater than those caused by the Abandonment of a few provinces in the Middle East by the Nationalist government.
It is also because of this that even Li Liang, the spokesman, would not agree to such a proposal.
"I don't mean simply to give up all interests in Turkey and to rebuild the original Austro-Hungarian Empire. Although in many manga and novels, generally speaking, the older the thing, the more powerful it is. But there is no doubt that although the Turks are also a people with a long history, this does not mean that the things of the new era are less powerful..."
"How to put it. There is absolutely no need for us to return all our benefits to the Turks, all we need now is to give the Turks a taste of life, but these must be made if the Turks have compromised. β
"We can make a treaty with the Turks, and the simple thing about the treaty is to make the Turks work for us, but on the other hand we need it. That is, the territories that are currently being returned, etc., are basically unlikely to be given to the Turks. It is clear that the territories currently occupied by the countries will not be returned to the Turks. So all we can guarantee is the territorial integrity of the current Turkish government, and the fact that Turkey is in the area where it is now, where all countries have some troops, and now countries are doing so for many reasons. There was a large-scale conflict with Turkey. One of the most powerful games is probably Greece. β
"Now that a considerable part of Turkey's territory is occupied by Greece, as long as we can get the Turks to withdraw their troops and express their willingness to make peace, it will basically be achieved."
Hearing Li Liang's words, everyone present couldn't help but scratch their heads slightly.
Because according to Li Liang's words, now the countries may need to withdraw their troops from the land that is currently occupied by Turkey. Fortunately, Li Liang's meaning is very simple, this kind of withdrawal is definitely not unlimited, that is, the current armies of various countries are only retreating from the current territory of Turkey. Just to return a relatively intact territory to the Turks, as for the rest...
At present, those territories that are already in the pockets of all countries. Of course, they will not be able to take it out again and return it to Turkey ...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"But if it's just a part of the territory that isn't very complete, will the Turks recognize it? Will they be willing to turn their backs on our side and Russia? β
After listening to Li Liang's words, someone who somewhat understood what Li Liang meant opened his mouth and asked.
"This will require the efforts of the foreign ministries of various countries, and in short, my plan is very simple, which is to withdraw all the troops currently in the Turkish area from the Turkish territory, and then hand over the current Turkish territory to the Turkish government. Of course, the outer space must not have been changed, after all, these are already considered our territory, and if we rush to return it to the Turks, of course the Turks are happy, but what should we do with the money we spend on it? β
"But this also involves a question, just like the one just said, if the current Turkish government insists on the withdrawal of all countries from all Turkish territory, what should be done to solve it, but after thinking about it for a while, I still feel that with the current strength of various countries, if the Turkish government really wants to make such a move, then we can completely change to a more eye-catching one..."
"In any case, we must stick to our professional position in this matter, and we must not bow our heads lightly. If the Turks really have to return all their territory to be willing to join our side, then it is better to destroy them altogether, and the Communist government can fully support them in this matter..."
"To put it simply, if the Turks really open their mouths, then our country can provide very high support, especially if countries are going to start a war of annihilation, then our country will be willing to take the lead as one of them!"
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Looking at the power, Balfour frowned slightly, thinking carefully in his heart. At present, Li Liang has proposed a total of three solutions, and it can be said that these three solutions are somewhat difficult.
The first is undoubtedly the most difficult, that is, all the great powers of the world gather together and organize a crusade army to crusade against Turkey, which has some collusion with Soviet Russia.
In this way, of course, it is very simple, and the efficiency can also be said to be very high, and it can almost be said that it only takes a long time to exterminate Turkey, and compared with the extermination of Soviet Russia, the extermination of Turkey is obviously much simpler, and it can even be said that it is not a level of Cheng dΓΉ.
But this is simple, straightforward, and crude, but it's a matter of cost. It can already be prohibitive for many people. At least the current Communist government certainly does not have the capital, and according to Balfour's view, the British government obviously does not have the capital.
That's why too. This idea, while it seemed good, was one of the first things Balfour abandoned.
In the same way, providing a large amount of support to the national and social governments, and then involving the national and social governments in the containment, but the end result is likely to be only partially accomplished, and it is obviously absolutely not acceptable to all countries.
In particular, this will require the support of States, and it is likely to evolve into long-term support. For example, in a year or month, when the fortifications are no longer able to support the enemy's batteriesββββββ at this time, governments usually need to take the initiative to provide funds to help the national government. On the one hand, the government of the state is blessing each other, saying that the other party is a good person and has good rewards, but in fact...
Something like that. Naturally, it will not have much effect in the afterlife. But the people of this era are...
Although the cost of this method is less than the previous one, the effect is much worse, so it is very light and was given up by Balfour, so in this way, there seems to be only one left for Balfour to choose, and it is also the simplest one...
Wooing the Turks, as Li Liang said. As long as the Turks are also drawn to this side, then things will naturally be much simpler.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
It's not just Balfort. The other people in the venue were basically more inclined to the third method proposed by Li Liangββββββ which was also the one with the lowest cost.
Soon, therefore, in some of the meetings that were held later, a meeting was held among the delegations of various countries. The content of the meeting is also very simple, that is, whether to vote for a vote and take the proposal of the national government? Woo Turkey.
Naturally, there are still some countries that have some doubts, that is, whether Turkey will really be so obedient to turn its back on Soviet Russia and throw itself into the arms of the national government.
Yes, the contradictions between Russia and Turkey are indeed very deep, but after all, they are already old grievances from the previous dynasty, and it is really hard to imagine that the Turks still hold grudges. Moreover, there are still such deep contradictions between the Entente and Turkey, who dares to guarantee that the Turks will definitely choose the Entente camp?
However, the attitude of the vast majority of people is still very optimistic, after all, the discerning people can basically see that between the Soviet Russia and the Entente camp, which camp is more in line with the interests of the Turksββββββ the Turks are not idiots, and naturally know how to make a series of judgments.
Therefore, after a show of hands, the result was quickly obtained, and this result was also very simple, that is, to make some contacts with the Turkish government according to Li Liang. Let's see if the Turks have the intention of betraying Soviet Russia, and if so, then the Entente is also willing to give Turkey some preferential treatment. The first is to recall the troops that are fighting against the Turks, and in addition to this, the Greek troops who are fighting against the Turks on Turkish territory will also be withdrawn from Turkish territory.
Of course, the Turks also had to pay the price, that is, the Turks could only save a part of the territory. In a way, this part of the territory is basically enough, after all, in any case, except for a small part of the missing places, at least the vast majority of the territory is still preserved...
Naturally, since it is a tentative contact, there is also a possibility of failure, and it can be very large. But since it's a tentative contact, it's natural to be tempted first, even if you don't succeed in the end, if you don't succeed, you won't succeed...
At least one thing is certain, and that is that Britain will never have an outlet to the sea to the south, either in the past or in the future.
Even if it was by force, the British would definitely find a way to stop Soviet Russia...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Although on the surface, the Communist government and the Turks are fighting quite lively, in fact, the Communist government and the Turkish government have always had a certain connection in private. After all, the connection between countries has never been a child's play.
It can even be said that when two countries secretly go to war, the two countries begin to have diplomatic contacts in private...
At least this is the case with the current Communist government and the Turks, at a time when the Turks and the Commune were in constant conflict on the Sino-Turkish border. The private contacts between the Nationalist government and the Turks never ceased.
That's why, after some meetings, the Communist government took on the honorable mission of making a series of contacts with the Turkish governmentββββββ which is indeed quite an honorable mission, if the meeting place is in a more handsome place...
Uh-huh. The rest will definitely be made up before dawn, sorry ah 0-0
