Hearing the words of the Ministry of Finance, Li Liang, Gu Weijun and others were stunned for a moment.

Of course, it is impossible for them to be unaware of the little bit of the catharness between the Nationalist government and Soviet Russia, and it can even be said that they have participated in some transactions between the Nationalist government and the Soviet Russian government in the past, and even they presided over them...

Therefore, they knew very well that the relationship between the Nationalist government and the Soviet Russian government was not ―――――― an alliance, or even friendship, but from a certain point of view, the two sides could be called enemies.

It's just that because there are still interests in survival, the two sides will be tied together.

Behind the scenes, for this reason, the Nationalist government also had many secret dealings with Soviet Russia that would never be known to the outside world.

It is also because of this that when Finance Biao just spoke, Li Liang and Gu Weijun trembled slightly in their hearts, thinking that Finance Biao was planning to shake this matter out―――――― Britain and the United States and other countries are not blind, and after such a long time, they will still know some things more or less. At least it is clear that the current relationship between the Nationalist government and the Soviet Russian government is not as close as it seems.

Of course, as a government that has also watched the national government for a long time, it is certainly impossible for the Japanese government to ignore this. Even because of the reason why it is closest to China and has the deepest roots in China, the Japanese can be said to be the one who knows this best.

It's just that the Japanese government has never been able to grasp the handle of the national government, and it can't find any tangible evidence, so it has remained silent.

However, the words of the Ministry of Finance just now made Gu Weijun and others think that the Japanese were planning to be on this occasion. Make things public. This naturally made Gu Weijun and others break out in a cold sweat, although all countries actually have some contact with Soviet Russia, especially the British government. During the Soviet-Polish War, Poland was frustrated in the war at that time, and even stood up to negotiate with Soviet Russia on behalf of the Entente.

But this kind of contact is obviously inferior to that of the national government.

After all, it's not so much of a contact as it is more of a transaction...

If such a thing were to be made public, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble―――――― at least for the national government. It's just that when I thought about it, Gu Weijun was thinking about how to deny the accusations of the Japanese. The Ministry of Finance is referring to Turkey...

Although the words of the Ministry of Finance Biao somewhat made Gu Weijun and others a little stunned. But at least one thing is certain, and that is that the Turks and Soviet Russia do have a connection, and that kind of deep connection...

Therefore. The accusations of the Japanese are not unfounded, after all, it is clear to everyone that the reason why the Turks can now fight in Anatolia with the Greeks, the British and the French is because they have received a large number of weapons from Soviet Russia. Li Liang and Gu Weijun can also be said to know this. After all, in a way. The present Communist government also occupies this part of Turkish territory.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Glancing lightly at the seat of the Chinese delegation, Finance Biao withdrew his gaze.

If possible, of course, he wanted to expose the face of the national government on such an occasion, and make them lose face greatly.

But the problem is that there is no solid and reliable evidence in the hands of the Ministry of Finance, in other words, apart from some rumors that are actually known to all countries, the Ministry of Finance Biao has nothing to come up with.

Of course, it doesn't matter. After all, evidence is only important in court, and evidence is not needed between countries. What really made the Ministry of Finance Biao not do this. It was an order from the Japanese government, to be exact, from the Saionji Konobo himself.

Saionji Gongwang was not willing to continue to make enemies with China, especially when the Kuosha government had already shown goodwill to the Japanese government.

Because Saionji Gongwang himself knows very well that it is difficult for Japan to compete with China today. If you have to contend with it, there is only one way, and that is to become a puppet of Europe and the United States, or cannon fodder, and charge into the front line with the help of European and American resources, and finally either defeat China or break your bones...

It's like the confrontation between Japan and Russia back then, but that time Japan was lucky and won, but whether it will be so lucky this time, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang is not clear.

Maybe?

However, the failure of many successive conflicts made Xiyuan Temple Gongwang not have much confidence in this. What's more, even if you win, what can you do? Japan also won, but the price to pay for this was that for the next ten years it had to fight for loans borrowed from Britain during the Russo-Japanese War, and every year the Japanese government had a headache about how to repay the loans borrowed from Britain.

One such experience was enough, not to mention that the Russo-Japanese War of that year failed to defeat Russia. It was only a part of Russia that was defeated, and this was because Russia did not pay much attention to the Far East at that time, for them Europe was fundamental.

But China is different, because China itself is an Asian country, and it is completely possible to concentrate all its forces in the Asian region.

And with its almost overwhelming power in Asia, Japan is unlikely to be an opponent of China, and if you are not careful, it is likely that Japan will be met with a catastrophe...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Of course, this does not mean that the Japanese are completely cowardly, but at least they are willing to stand up and work hard in the face of some things that may be favorable to Japan. For example, in the recent Washington Naval Treaty, as long as China is limited to the lowest level, the Japanese government will have overwhelming maritime superiority over China for a long time.

In such a matter, the Japanese government does not mind offending the Communist government.

After all, if you do this, as long as you succeed, the benefits will definitely be great.

But in normal situations, there is no need to do this...

Even. If it weren't for the fact that he knew what the attitude of those in the army and navy was towards China, the prince of Xiyuan Temple planned to order the Ministry of Finance to take advantage of this opportunity. I have a good relationship with the national government.

It's just that considering that Finance Biao is also a right-winger, in order to prevent Finance Biao from messing up the relationship, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang finally dispelled this idea.

After all, if this kind of thing is left to those right-wingers, it can easily be self-defeating...

And Xiyuan Temple Gongwang must avoid this happening...

Although he was a little curious about why the Ministry of Finance would shift the topic to the Turks, since the topic involved Turkey, Li Liang felt that he still had a certain right to speak.

After all, now the Commune government is in the Anatolian region. The conflict with Turkey is not once or twice. They are well aware of the changes that have taken place in Turkey, and most importantly, the Communist government is well aware of how many weapons that the Communist government has given to them to the Turks...

And even currently in the Anatolian region. The bullets fired by the Turkish army at the national government were all made by the national government.

Every time I think about this, the mentality of the upper echelons of the national government seems extremely complicated. After all, no one wants to be hurt or even killed by a weapon of their own making, let alone the young soldiers who know nothing on the front lines...

Although the Nationalist government had also considered breaking off exchanges with Soviet Russia. But this kind of exchange has too many benefits for the national government. So even if you know about the weapons and equipment that were supported by Soviet Russia. Many of them are actually used on the soldiers of their own countries, but this kind of transaction has never stopped, because this is the relationship between countries―――――― between countries, not about evidence, not about morality, only about interests!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Personally, I think that what Mr. Biao of the Ministry of Finance said just now should be worthy of our careful consideration...", after knocking on the table, after focusing everyone's eyes. Li Liang said in a deep voice. "I'm sure you're all aware that it's the same as Greece and England and France. Our country also has a conflict with Turkey on the border with the Turks, so we still have some understanding of what is happening in Turkey at the moment. According to what we know so far, the Turks and Russians have deep ties, and many of the weapons and ammunition currently equipped by the Turkish army are actually transported from Russian territory..."

"The purpose of our meeting is simple: to curb the spread of the red molecules that are entrenched in Eastern Europe. As I have just said, it is clear that on the European side, an epidemic prevention circle will be formed on the front line of Poland and Romania to prevent the spread of those red elements from the Soviet Union from the direction of Eastern Europe, while in Asia, China will build a defensive line in the Ural Mountains and several other Sino-Soviet borders to firmly block Soviet Russia in it..."

"But Turkey is a loophole, if the Turks form an alliance with Soviet Russia, or even throw themselves into the arms of Soviet Russia, then Soviet Russia can come out of the direction of Turkey, and even freely enter and exit the Dardanelles, and the Black Sea will also become the inland sea of Soviet Russia, which is obviously not allowed by us..."

"So what do you mean, Mr. Prime Minister?"

At least the Americans are still very attentive in this matter, so when they heard Li Liang talk about business, Charles quickly looked over, and Balfour and others on the side also shifted their attention, wanting to hear what Li Liang planned to say.

"It's very simple, there are three main ways on my side at the moment..."After pondering for a while, Li Liang continued to speak. The first way is to completely eliminate the current Turkish regime, and the current Turkish territory will be divided among our countries, or one or more puppet regimes will be re-established in the existing Turkish territory..."

When talking about the partition and puppets, Li Liang did not use some more obscure words, but said them very bluntly. And hearing Li Liang say this, everyone present trembled in their hearts.

It's not that I'm scared, it's just that in the past, even if these countries actually thought so in their hearts, at least on the surface, they would pretend to be, where is it as straightforward as Li Liang...

Li Liang's very direct way really made everyone here a little uncomfortable.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Is this...", coughing lightly, and secretly scolding Li Liang in his heart for being a complete barbarian. Such words can actually be said in public, Balfour said implicitly. "Mr. Prime Minister's approach is indeed quite good, but we are a civilized country. Like the ones that just now don't work very well for us, but ......... We can help if there are forces in Turkey that oppose the brutal rule of the current Turkish government, and Turkey is also a multi-ethnic country, if those people want to be able to break away from the current Turkish government and become an independent state. Maybe we can help a little too..."

Well, this is the implicit statement of Li Liang's words just now, but it seems that they are a little uncomfortable with Li Liang's direct way. Li Liang also scoffed at their way of speaking.

As for the multi-ethnic state? Perhaps Turkey is indeed a multi-ethnic country―――――― if a country has three ethnic groups, it is also a multi-ethnic country.

There are three main ethnic groups in Turkey at present, one is of course the Turks themselves, there is no doubt about this, and the other is the Kurds. The last one is the Arabs.

Of these, the Turks accounted for the vast majority. The monolithic shì is somewhat similar to later China. In Turkey, Turks can be said to occupy a dominant position, which is equivalent to about 80% of the country's population.

As for the Kurds, they make up 15 percent, and they are mainly in remote areas.

As for the Arabs, these are the most scarce in number.

There are still some remaining ethnic groups, but most of these remained in Turkey during the Ottoman Turkish period, and the number is not very large. Basically, there is no statistical value and necessity.

There is no doubt that Li Liang's words are very true. But for those present, Balfour's words were clearly more popular. So as the words fell, there was soon a round of applause in the room―――――― and it was clear that these applause were directed at Balfour.

After nodding slightly around and unceremoniously accepting the applause, Balfour continued. "Although this is indeed a good idea, we have to note that the current Turks already have a certain strength, and if we want to get rid of the Turks from Turkish soil, I am afraid that we will have to pay a considerable price. When we discussed the problem of Soviet Russia, the reason why we did not use force was because the cost of doing so was too great, and if it didn't matter in the past, then after the previous war, obviously..."

Speaking of this, Balfour glanced at Li Liang apologetically.

In fact, Li Liang's mention is quite in line with Balfour's taste, but it's a pity, after all, he has more than enough heart and not enough strength.

Balfour's words did not surprise Li Liang, so after shrugging his shoulders, Li Liang put on a nonchalant look.

"It's okay, in that case, I have a second way..."

"Oh? What's the solution? ”

"This method is much simpler than the previous one, but strictly speaking, the effect is not particularly good...", after pursing his lips, Li Liang continued to speak. Quite simply, at present, China has a certain distance of border with Turkey, and at the same time, the conflict between China and the Turks has almost never stopped, and most importantly, at present, China is the northernmost point of the Middle East, from the Caucasus, in fact, it is very close, even to the point that it only needs to go north to reach it..."

"Therefore, as long as the governments of various countries are willing to give our country some support, then our country can send an army to advance the front to the Caucasus and completely block Soviet Russia in the direction of the Caucasus! However, on the Black Sea, I am afraid that everyone here needs to find a way, and the most important point is that the cost of doing so is definitely not small, and I believe that all of you here also know that our country's finances have been very tight at present, so if you really need to implement this plan, you don't need to send troops from various countries, you just need to give some financial support..."

In fact, this is a good solution, although it is not a symptomatic cure, but at least it can prevent the spread of Soviet Russia from a certain angle.

Merely...

When it comes to other things, even if the Nationalist government does have some relations with Soviet Russia, and both directions are blocked by the Nationalist government, this relationship will disappear in a very short period of time...

Similarly, the government will be mired in the quagmire because of this relationship.

It's just that although this method is really good, when it comes to money, this...

"Is there any other way?"

Thinking of his country's current finances, he smiled bitterly, Charles looked at Li Liang and asked.

Of course, the reluctance to pay is also a reason, after all, who knows how long this hole will need to be plugged...

And after glancing at Charles and the others, after shrugging his shoulders, Li Liang looked a little indifferent. "Then there is only one last way, and at the same time the least costly one, since Soviet Russia can draw the Turks over, then why can't we bring the Turks over!" (To be continued......)
