"Mercenaries?" "Mercenaries?"

As soon as Zuo Wenxin's words fell, a voice of doubt already sounded in the venue. ≈∞

In particular, the representatives of some countries couldn't help but look at Zuo Wenxin, as if they didn't quite understand the meaning of Zuo Wenxin's words just now, and they seemed to be a little surprised by the words just now.

All of a sudden, there was a buzz in the whole venue, and the representatives of various countries and members of their delegations kept talking in their seats.

"Mr. Zuo, what you just mentioned, is it a mercenary?"

After a moment of silence, the American representative Pat finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked the question in his heart.

"That's right, I just said mercenaries."

Saying this, Zuo Wenxin groaned slightly after looking around, and then continued to speak.

"As we all know, because of the end of the First World War, all countries are actually disarming, and at present the only country that still maintains a large number of standing armies, at least in the former Entente, it seems that only Japan and Japan are left." ―――――― because of the end of the First World War, the Allied organization basically no longer had to exist, and the relations between the countries and Soviet Russia had eased a lot not long ago, so the Entente had been completely dissolved not long ago.

In fact, this kind of formal declaration has no special meaning, after all, with the complete defeat of the Central Powers, it is no longer possible for the original Entente to unite against a certain country or camp as in the past.

One could even say. With the defeat of many Central Powers, including Germany, the original Entente powers had been completely divided. For example, France and the United Kingdom are the same. Naturally, in a short period of time, it is relatively normal for countries to express themselves. On the surface, but as time goes on, the contradictions between these countries will inevitably grow, and by that time...

Of course, these certainly have little to do with the issue at hand.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Although Zuo Wenxin did not use a small mallet or something else to hit the table like a judge or anyone else, so as to attract everyone's attention.

But even so, everyone in the venue still focused almost all their eyes on Zuo Wenxin.

And after spreading his arms and making a gesture to everyone. Zuo Wenxin raised his voice in a voice that almost everyone in the venue could hear.

"As everyone knows, with the end of the war, almost all countries are reducing their armies, and of course, as everyone here knows, this does not include my country." Speaking of this, Zuo Wenxin shrugged his shoulders with some humor.

He was a student studying in the United States in his early years, so he was somewhat tainted with some habits in the United States in his living habits.

Naturally, this is nothing in China. After all, in the early years, in order to save China, those aspiring young people in China often chose some countries as their study destinations.

For example, the United States, for example, Japan. In countries such as France, England, Italy, etc., of course, there will be a Soviet Russia or something.

In the midst of this. The United States, Japan, and France, of course, are targets. After all, the United States is known for its strong industry and economy, while Japan is relatively close. Moreover, it is relatively close to China's national conditions, which can be regarded as a certain value of studying abroad. France, on the other hand, was the center of the world revolution.

How to say that? Perhaps the romantic French are naturally the kind of people who are suitable for revolution.

For example, the group of revolutionaries who came back from France, and the group of Thai students who made the Thai royal family a puppet, for example, almost all came from France.

And Zuo Wenxin is the United States that he is currently going to.

Later, with the establishment of the Kuomintang, the victory in the Battle of Shandong, and the subsequent achievements of the Kuomintang, the government in a number of domestic and international affairs. After completing his studies in the United States, Zuo Wenxin returned to China and became a member of the national government.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

It is precisely because after the establishment of the Kuomintang government that there were too many people who came back from abroad, there was no problem with Zuo Wenxin's leftists in China.

At this meeting, Zuo Wenxin's actions also made the representatives of the US Government unable to help but have a cordial feeling.

But...

Not everyone is like this, at least the relatively rigid British, who are not very fond of Zuo Wenxin's more frivolous behavior. However, they were also very curious about the meaning of 'mercenary' in Zuo Wenxin's mouth, so they also concentrated and did not disturb Zuo Wenxin.

"Do you want to say that those soldiers who have been cut will form mercenaries to help Turkey fight?"

"That's right, that's what I meant." Glancing at Pat, the representative of the U.S. government, Zuo Wenxin nodded approvingly. "Right now, no matter what country it is, there are a considerable number of retired soldiers, who are used to war, and they are used to the smell of gunpowder, and suddenly let them retreat from the battlefield that they have long been accustomed to, and they will even lose sleep..."

"In the same way, the forced displacement and dismissal of a large number of soldiers has led to the emergence of large numbers of unemployed people in all countries, and these unemployed people are different from the ordinary population. They may not have the skills to make a living, but they are skilled in warfare. If these people can be put to good use, it will be good for every country, but if they are kept unemployed. Speaking of this, Zuo Wenxin smiled slightly. At least from what I have learned, it seems that the law and order situation in all the countries here has been deteriorating in the last year or two..."

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

This is not Zuo Wenxin's mouth, but there is indeed such a thing.

That's right, this war. It is true that all the countries here have won, but the losses are no small either. Take the United Kingdom, for example. Although he became the winner of this war, but after the end of the war. All areas of British industry have shrunk.

This is not surprising, after all, with the end of the war, many of the resources in the war are no longer necessary for production, and the demand has returned to normal levels, which is a normal thing.

But with the end of the war, the factories that had been producing these goods all along were out of luck. After all, without buyers, they would never have been able to continue to produce so many goods, and after such a strong demand, they would lay off employees. It became their only choice.

It is only domestic demand that is itself a measure to maintain the economy, and only when ordinary people have money can they buy things, stimulate domestic demand, and maintain the economy at the original level or even the best level.

Now that the war is over, there is no need for so much labor, and layoffs are conceivable. What kind of changes will occur in domestic demand?

At least in Britain or France or some other countries, with the exception of China or the United States, almost all of them have changed dramatically after the end of the war.

Even China and the United States. In the period after the end of the war, there was also a certain discomfort. After all, there are no generous buyers, capitalists in China and the United States. There is no way to continue to sustain that much labor demand.

Thankfully, both countries have had enough during the war. In addition, the internal demand is also very large, even if it is affected by this war. It's basically all on the good side, and almost no on the bad side.

The rest seems to be pretty straightforward, and all in all, the veterans' problem doesn't bother the two countries too much.

But countries such as Britain and France are relatively difficult, at least if they cannot be properly resolved, especially when there is no way to solve the problem of employment. Whether it's the UK, France or other countries, there have been batches of idle things.

Of course, it's not much to be idle, and the real thing is that a considerable number of these soldiers have been traumatized on the battlefield. When he returned to his home country, he either became addicted to drugs, or he became a regular in a tavern and became a drunken drunkard...

It is conceivable that these people are absolutely not at all beneficial to the security of various countries...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Anyway, there are many veterans in all countries, and if they continue to wander around the country, it will only continue to cause problems for the security of various countries, so why not hire these soldiers as mercenaries to fight in Turkey..."

Speaking of this, he looked at the colors of the representatives of various countries, lowered his head and thought about it, Zuo Wenxin continued.

"I believe that you still remember the war not long ago, and I believe that the tragedy of that war will not be forgotten in such a short period of time. At the same time, I believe that all the delegates here are also very aware of how fierce the anti-war sentiment is in each country because of the war, and if we tell the citizens of our respective countries that we are now going to send troops to a country called Turkey, which was once an enemy of our country, you can imagine how angry those citizens at home will be, and maybe even lead to the downfall of the governments of one or two countries..."

Hearing Zuo Wenxin do this, Pat and the others all nodded.

It was because of the tragedy of the First World War that the frightened Americans were unwilling to participate in such a tragic war, and isolationism also increased.

Of course, if there is a real need, the Americans will still help. After all, the interests of the country are still very important in many cases. Just like World War II in later generations, even if Pearl Harbor had not been exposed, it is believed that the US government would have been involved in World War II.

After all, Germany has already posed a serious threat to the United States, and the Japanese, and even more so to American interests in Southeast Asia.

In addition, the U.S. government also needs to consider the consequences of the Germans and the Japanese, and most importantly, the U.S. government has put a lot of money on Britain and other countries. In this case, it seems inevitable that help will be a given.

But at the moment, the US government did not feel a strong sense of urgency, let alone the slightest sense of threat. After all, now the Russians are invading a country called Turkey. A country almost 108,000 miles away from the United States, even if Soviet Russia really captured Turkey. It will probably take quite some time to threaten the United States.

Secondly, Turkey's predecessor was the Ottoman Turkish Empire. It was one of the main opponents of the United States in World War I. If it is to help their former allies, perhaps the Americans do not have so many opinions. But if it is to aid Turkey, a former adversary, this American may have a relatively large opinion.

It's not just the United States, it's about the rest of the world.

After all, it's okay to help an ally, to help an enemy country, and in a few months, no, to be exact, a country that is still in sporadic conflict. This is a bit too difficult for countries.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

"It is precisely considering that it is difficult for the people of all countries to accept this, so sending mercenaries is the most appropriate way, first, mercenaries are just taking money to do things, and secondly, this can also reduce the resistance of the domestic people to this matter."

Of course, there are three, and that is if it is only mercenaries who are dispatched. If you think about it from other angles, the stimulation to Soviet Russia is relatively small.

This is very beneficial to China, after all, among the governments present here. Only China had a direct territorial border with Soviet Russia. If it really turns around, then the pressure on the border will be too great―――――― the greater the pressure on the border, the more the government will need to invest a lot of military resources here.

Despite the current national strength of the Nationalist government. It's not a difficult thing to do, but if you can. It's better not to do that, isn't it?

After all, there are many places in China that need money at this stage. It's better to save some.

But...

China is not the only country that can benefit from the benefits, but other countries as well. It's not that other countries also border with Soviet Russia, but at present, all countries have certain ties with Soviet Russia in private, and if they really send troops directly to the war, then the contacts established in the past and the efforts made for this can basically be declared in vain...

This is obviously not what countries want to see...

"It's just..."Glancing at Zuo Wenxin, the representative of the Italian government said slowly. This seems to be the case in several of our countries, after all, the anti-war sentiment in the country is relatively strong, and it is difficult for the people to understand the hostile behavior against Soviet Russia, and even more difficult to understand why it is necessary to help a former enemy country fight in the Caucasus, and similarly, it is impossible to send regular troops into the war. But in your country, it doesn't seem to be so? ”

Saying this, the representative of the Italian government continued to speak slowly. "After all, your country is different from us, and while several of our countries here have begun to disarm because the war has ended, your country has expanded its army from more than 2 million to more than 3 million today, and almost all of them are standing armies, and Cheng Dù, who has abundant troops, can be said to be the largest among all countries here."

"In addition, the attitude of the people of your country towards Soviet Russia is also very different from that of several of our countries, after all, your country has a deep contradiction with Soviet Russia, even if it really has a conflict with Soviet Russia, I believe there will not be any big domestic problems, unlike our countries..."

Hearing the representative of the Italian government say this, the governments of several other countries also nodded in agreement, obviously agreeing with the words of the representative of the Italian government.

After all, the current national government has a standing army of more than 3 million, unlike other countries, which are basically laying off personnel. In this way, it does not seem to be very difficult for China to send some troops, let alone mercenaries.

However, after listening to his words, Zuo Wenxin shook his head and said. "Mr. Deputy, you just saw the huge number of our country's standing army, but you seem to have forgotten that our country's territory is also very vast, according to the current territory of our country, coupled with the current mobility of our ** team, the standing army of more than three million can barely maintain the security of our territory, and this is still in the quiet situation of Soviet Russia."

"If our country really had a direct conflict with Soviet Russia, not to mention that for the time being, our country would not be able to send enough troops to help the Turks solve the problems of Soviet Russia. If this is really done, I believe that the border between our country and Soviet Russia will never be peaceful. ”

Zuo Wenxin knew very well that it would definitely be useless to talk about any big truths or beat around the bush with these people in front of him, after all, everyone here can almost be said to be experts in this area. So it's better to be more direct and put out the reasons why they can't do this, so they can't force China to do things that harm their own interests, right?

This is indeed the case, if Zuo Wenxin used some other excuses to shirk, maybe other people here would continue to find fault with it, but now that Zuo Wenxin has said it bluntly, they have no words, after all, they can't force China to do things that harm their own interests.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"So..." elongated his voice, seeing that the people below didn't seem to have much opinion, Zuo Wenxin smiled slightly, with a smug expression on his face. At least my Government believes that in the current situation, the best way to send out mercenaries is to have sufficient combat capabilities, and on the other hand, to reduce the pressure on Governments. ”

"Of course, if you send out mercenaries, you need to solve the problem of weapons and equipment first, and then there is the problem of salary. But I'm sure that for the governments here, things like weapons and equipment are never a problem, as for salaries..."

Saying this, Zuo Wenxin glanced at the representative of the US government before continuing. "I believe that the U.S. government, represented by Mr. Pat, should be willing to work with our country to resolve this issue..."

Hearing Zuo Wenxin say this, as if he knew that it was time for him to come forward, Pat nodded.

This time, before he traveled, he had already obtained the bottom line of the White House in private.

"Only money, no troops!"

That's the bottom line the White House gave him.

This time, the White House itself knows that in fact, the European side does not need the United States to send troops. The most important thing is that in the face of fierce anti-war sentiment in the country, it is not known how many years it will take for the US government to send troops.

Therefore, the U.S. government has been ready to pay for it for a long time, in fact, Britain and France are the same, but what they think is that the equipment and goods are something else, and then let China send troops―――――― not mentioning that they don't have the money to send troops at all, even if they have the money to send troops, the domestic pressure is enough to make them think twice.

So at this point, it is China that is most suitable to send troops.

After all, China has enough troops, and it seems that it does not need to worry about domestic public opinion, plus it can destroy the relationship between China and Soviet Russia by the way, so why not? It can be called a strategy to kill two birds with one stone.

Who would have thought that this time the Chinese government gave them a mercenary plan.

However, in the case that all countries do not plan to send troops, I have to say that this plan seems to be more in line with the appetite of all countries. After all, if only some veterans in China want to go to the battlefield to make money, I believe that no matter which country they are in, they should be able to reduce a lot of pressure.

What's more, the issue of money, it seems that China and the United States are planning to bear it.

In this way, it only needs Britain, France and other countries to organize the uncountable veterans in the country, give them money, and let them return to the battlefield with the weapons and equipment they once used, and then things will be much simpler...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Although the delegates felt that Zuo Wenxin's proposal was feasible, this was not something that could be hastily resolved after all, so the delegates of various countries still discussed it for two days―――――― originally planned to discuss it for a week, but Turkey's request for help became more and more urgent, and the Turks were also repeatedly defeated on the battlefield.

Countries that knew very well that they could not afford to delay any longer, naturally became more efficient, and the foundation for the entire conference was quickly laid. (To be continued!)
