Chapter 148 The League of Nations and the Ming Principle of Recognition

North Inch, Quebec, Cathedral.

The guard in charge of the communications duty ran in and handed Zhu Guangjun a few telegrams.

Zhu Guangjun was stunned when he saw the content of the first one.

Then he handed the first one to Chen Shaohong and continued to read the second chapter by himself.

Chen Shaohong was also stunned after reading it, and asked his partner Zhu Guangjun directly:

"Overseer, what's going on with this order from the front?

"Now that the Quebec cult has come out, shouldn't it continue to add fuel to the fire and let public opinion spread rapidly?

"Why do you want us to control the immigrants in the Quebec Eucalyptus field and are ready to hand them over to some Bonaparte general from mainland France?

"At the same time, you have to help control the photos and don't send them out randomly.

"Then aren't we tossing in vain these days?"

Zhu Guangjun had already finished reading the second telegram and basically understood the intention of the negotiation team, so he handed the second one to Chen Shaohong:

"It's not in vain, the news about Quebec's Eucalyptus has been disseminated through public channels, and the actual effect has come out.

"The rift between the French Yinzhou colony and France and the Church has already arisen, and it is impossible to completely control it in the future, and it is impossible to completely eliminate the influence.

"At any time, it can be used as an excuse again by someone in need.

"The most we can do is to help the French stabilize the situation, and it is impossible to really eliminate these influences."

Chen Shaohong also finished reading the second one, and still said with some doubts:

"In that case, let's let it go, isn't it better to help control it? So what did the French come up with...... At a cost? ”

Zhu Guangjun was reading the third telegraph and explained:

"The telegram said that there were, but the specific content has nothing to do with our mandate, and at the same time involves the confidentiality of the negotiations, so it cannot be explained to us.

It explains why, not just because the French are paying the price.

"The internal reason is that it is not in the best interests of the Ming Dynasty to let the Anglo-French Yinzhou Colonial Independence War break out immediately.

"The Ming also needs to accept the colonies they have just acquired.

"We actually know better that we are in an unstable state for the time being, and our manpower and weapons are still being sent in a steady stream.

"We shouldn't be fighting again anytime soon."

Chen Shaohong understood a little when he heard it:

"What is the situation that is most in line with the interests of our Daming?"

Zhu Guangjun smiled and said:

"The Yinzhou colony and the British and French mainland gradually separated, and at the same time, both the colony and the mainland had enough time to prepare for war.

"At the right time as our Ming Dynasty deems appropriate, we will set off a large-scale civil war that lasts as long as possible, and consume the strength of the two countries' homelands and colonies."

Chen Shaohong is finally happy:

"I understand, we have to let them go, let's do that last...... Profiteering? ”

Zhu Guangjun nodded lightly:

"Yes, now Britain and France need to rest and recuperate, and they are not ready for a new war, and the Ming Dynasty is not ready.

"Public opinion in the colonies, if it were to detonate directly now, could lead to the largely unharmed independence of the two colonies.

"That will give birth to two more powerful new countries, which is not in the interests of the Ming Dynasty."

Chen Shaohong said with emotion:

"There's a lot of twists and turns, but I don't care about these things, it's all your job, I'm going to train."

Zhu Guangjun arched his hand with a smile and looked at the telegram in his hand again.

On the other hand, the direct outbreak of the war of independence in the British and French colonies is the most beneficial to the countries nurtured by the colonies themselves.

But neither the Ming nor Napoleon himself was necessarily advantageous, because Napoleon had no roots in Yinzhou.

While the French were struggling to maintain stability, the British were doing something similar.

Pitt's farewell letter, with the assistance of the Prince of Wales, barely persuaded the old King George III.

George III did not raise taxes in the colonies, but was prepared to raise reparations by reducing military spending, as Pitt advised.

Britain and France worked hard, and Daming cooperated on the side, preparing the situation of Yinzhou with a blazing fire, and slowly pressing it into a low heat and simmering.

At the same time, preparations for the official seminar of the League of Nations were also in the final stages of preparation at the Imperial Village of Haijiao in the Western Ocean.

Zhu Jingyuan's designated invitation to participate in the discussion, and at the same time the list of countries that are founding members of the League of Nations, made Shen Fu a little surprised.

In addition to the Ming Dynasty and the main vassal states, the rest of the ten countries of Tessie, including Britain, Lucia, France, Ottomans, Prussia, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and the Netherlands.

These countries are the two warring parties in the previous world war, and the members of the two camps of the Ming Dynasty and the original anti-Ming alliance.

Sweden – Denmark and Norway – were not invited, and independent countries such as Morocco were not listed.

However, the Three Kingdoms of Anxi were invited as vassals of the Ming Dynasty.

Before Shen Fu asked people to send the official notice, he reconfirmed Zhu Jingyuan's intentions:

"Your Highness, do you really want other independent countries to participate?"

Zhu Jingyuan nodded as a matter of course:

"The discussion of the basic rules of the World Union, that is, the discussion of the future world order, is not something that all countries are qualified to participate in.

"The point is, since we don't intend to protect their national interests, we don't invite them to join.

"If they appeal within the alliance but don't get the support of the alliance, won't it affect the prestige of the alliance?"

Shen Fu was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood Zhu Jingyuan's intentions, and nodded lightly:

"Your Highness has a point."

Zhu Jingyuan's decision actually drew on the experience of the League of Nations in history.

Zhu Jingyuan understands his purpose very well, what he has set up is a platform to carve up the world, and it is a platform for Taixi countries to communicate with the Ming Dynasty.

It is not a platform to protect the interests of backward regions, and it will not advertise fairness and equality like the League of Nations.

Historically, the League of Nations had a big problem, that is, it allowed a large number of backward countries to join the alliance, but the alliance could not protect their interests.

Even the most basic face care cannot be done, so that the backward countries continue to experience disappointment within the Union.

At the same time, it has not allowed all major powers that can affect regional stability to join, has not coordinated the interests of major powers, and has not been able to prevent powerful powers from doing evil.

This is equivalent to pulling a group of hunted sheep into a group of wolf chat groups, and excluding a few wolves that are strong enough, what kind of operation is this?

Big and small countries are not satisfied, how can this League of Nations win the hearts of the people?

In this world, in an era when the law of the jungle is more straightforward, it is even more impossible for Zhu Jingyuan to treat all countries equally.

So let's just do it thoroughly, and now this League of Nations only needs predators to directly discuss how to divide the world.

It's uncomfortable to not let the partitioned people in.

On August 25, the 34th year of the reign of the Ming Dynasty, the first discussion of the League of Nations was officially launched.

While the representatives of various countries entered the venue and sat down, they were also a little surprised by this deployment, but they also took it for granted.

When a peace treaty is signed, there should be more countries to witness it, but when the world order is discussed, it is not needed.

Zhu Jingyuan announced the opening of the meeting from the main seat, and the guards of the palace came out to distribute documents to the representatives of all parties.

It was made in advance, planned by Zhu Jingyuan and the personnel of the Daming Honglu Temple, and the basic framework rules of the League of Nations.

After the document was distributed, Zhu Jingyuan took a document by himself, showed it upward, and said:

"This is the most basic framework of the rules of the alliance that we envision.

"Now I'm going to talk about it in general terms, and then let's discuss, revise or add new ideas on this basis.

"First of all, the League of Nations that I intend to establish is a platform for the major countries of the world to maintain exchanges and communication for a long time.

"The purpose of the alliance is to settle disputes through negotiation and to avoid wars between major countries as much as possible, so as to guarantee world peace as much as possible.

"In order to achieve this purpose, the status, seat and authority of States should be defined in this Organization on the basis of their strength.

"Because I believe that absolute fairness, which pales in the pale, is meaningless in international relations, and cannot truly guarantee peace.

"Allowing countries of different powers to get a corresponding status can avoid a large number of unnecessary disputes."

Listening to these declarations, the delegates of various countries nodded silently with complicated expressions.

This is the attitude that Zhu Jingyuan has always shown.

Although it is said that it is the pursuit of peace, the actual bottom line is very low, and it has never pursued any equality and equality.

It has always been based on actual status.

A few slightly weaker countries do not like this approach, but they are powerless to resist the international order.

Zhu Jingyuan paused for a moment, looked at the reactions of the representatives of the Taixi countries, and continued to explain more detailed thoughts:

"The specific national status assessment plan, there is a reference plan in the document, and we will discuss it carefully when we go back.

"I would like to highlight a few basic assumptions and principles here.

"The first is the principle of Ming recognition.

"I was going to call it the principle of unanimity of the great powers, or the principle of no opposition by the great powers.

"But obviously, in the absence of Rome, in the international status, only we are in absolute advantage.

"Therefore, all decisions made within the League of Nations must ensure that they are approved by the Ming Dynasty.

"As long as Daming expresses his opposition, the relevant agenda cannot be passed, and the alliance cannot continue to promote relevant affairs.

"I said in previous talks, don't think it's overbearing, it's just a fact.

"In the case of harming the interests of the Ming Dynasty, the alliance is still forcibly promoted, which will inevitably lead to the armed confrontation of the Ming Dynasty, and the alliance will lose its meaning.

"Then there's a new world war, don't you think that's right?"

Zhu Jingyuan said that when he looked around, the representatives of the western countries were all weak and nodded lightly.

This alliance, this international order, can only be dominated by the Ming Dynasty, if you want to really change, then you have to really defeat the Ming Dynasty.

Otherwise, this order can only be accepted.

Finding a group of small countries with no real power to vote together to drive things that are unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty is pure death-seeking.

At this time, the French representative Talleyrand asked a question very cooperatively:

"May I ask His Royal Highness the Great Food King, what is the specific form of realization recognized by this Ming Dynasty?

"As long as everything is approved by Daming, can relevant matters be directly executed?"

Zhu Jingyuan waved his hand directly:

"No, to achieve the Ming Dynasty's approval of the specific way of operation, I call it the veto of the alliance meeting.

"At various meetings within the organization, as long as Daming announces the exercise of the veto, the relevant issues will be directly terminated and will no longer be discussed and implemented.

"Note, however, that this is a veto, not a yes.

"The alliance will not forcibly push through the passage of affairs just because Daming alone agrees with it, when most other countries oppose it.

"That would also lead to a split in the alliance, which could lead to the Ming and other countries getting involved in war again.

"So it was the Ming Dynasty that vetoed it, not the one vote that passed, this is the compromise between the Ming Dynasty and other countries, which is the basis of peace."

When Zhu Jingyuan said this, the representatives of the Taixi countries were all relieved.

Zhu Jingyuan and Daming are really sincere.

Although the Ming Dynasty was absolutely strong, it still gave other countries the means to oppose it, and was willing to take care of their basic interests.

This is the window of compromise.

Talleyrand continued to ask:

"Since Da Ming's individual approval will not become a resolution, what conditions are needed for a matter to be passed at the alliance meeting?"

Zhu Jingyuan went on to explain:

"In order for a regular business to be passed at a meeting, it needs to be passed by a normal ordinary vote, with a two-thirds vote.

"All Union member states, as well as vassals of sufficient size, have one vote.

"How to calculate the specific scale, there are preliminary evaluation criteria on the document, and everyone can put forward their opinions.

"If there is something on the spot, it will be mentioned on the spot, and when it is ready when I go back, I will communicate it directly, or take it to the next meeting to discuss."

This evaluation criterion is relatively difficult to determine, so no one has provided comments on the spot.

Zhu Jingyuan continued to explain his thoughts:

"Next, there is the principle of controllable war, which I mentioned at the beginning.

"The alliance is opposed in principle to wars between countries within the alliance, but if war is no longer avoidable, then pursue war control.

"The two sides of the war must first communicate within the alliance and determine that the communication is ineffective before the war can be waged.

"The conduct of both sides in the war must conform to the standards set by the Alliance.

"It is forbidden to kill prisoners of war who have given up their resistance, and it is necessary to provide the prisoners with a minimum subsistence guarantee.

"It is forbidden to massacre civilians in war zones, to force civilians on both sides to participate in hostilities, or to engage in war-related hazardous work.

"The use of poison gases is prohibited because there is no control over the spread and residue of poison gases and there is no guarantee that they will not affect civilians.

"Attacks on medical institutions and facilities, including military and civilian hospitals and hospital ships, are prohibited.

"At the same time, both military and civilian medical facilities need to treat their own wounded and prisoners on an equal footing.

"The more details are on the document, and you can also put forward more ideas that will help control the scale of the war.

"The alliance will set up a special agency to lead the formulation and implementation of relevant regulations, and at the same time supervise the behavior of the belligerents."
