Chapter 410: Navy Holiday and League of Nations (Part I)

March 9, 2762 (1921), Washington.

After a six-day flight, the Chinese delegation led by Chinese President Wen Desi crossed the Pacific Ocean on the giant "Kunpeng 1" passenger airship, then across the United States, and finally arrived at Washington International Airport, where the new US President James Middleton Cox personally greeted them.

Yes, the 29th president of the United States is James Middleton Cox of the Democratic Party, not Warren Gamelier Harding of the Republican Party. The line of history has changed here, because the United States on the original plane was not betrayed by Britain and France, and still had major gains in the war, and isolationism naturally did not have the same market as it did after the war in the original time and space. The Democrats have relied on these achievements to gain a lot of popular support, and the Republicans do not have a suitable candidate.

Harding is a well-known "straw bag" and "wreck", this is the evaluation of his contemporary, Pennsylvania Senator Beuys Penrose, and later American newspapers and magazines have conducted a survey among American scholars on "how to evaluate previous presidents", and the result is that Harding has been ranked first among the ten worst presidents of the United States three times, and has won three consecutive championships. His selection in the original plane was purely a stroke of luck and catered to the isolationist sentiments of the people at the time, and there was naturally no such good thing in the plane, and it was also deserved to be defeated by Cox, who was more politically active.

In addition to China, the United States, Britain, Germany, Japan, France, Austria and Italy, there are also Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Hungary, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Spain, Turkey and other second- and third-rate small powerhouses.

Originally, there should have been a Russian among the big hooligans, but because they are now in full swing in the "Red and White Song Society", no matter which side is invited, it is not representative. Needless to say, in addition to the recognition of them by the Central Powers, the Entente did not regard them as legitimate governments at all, and in addition, Britain, France, and the United States were very angry at their debts and their behavior of "privately negotiating peace" with the Allies, and resolutely opposed their participation, so naturally it was impossible for them to represent Russia.

As for the White Russia, although recognized by both the Entente and the Central Powers, they currently have no access to the sea at all, except for the Arctic Ocean. Even if they build the Arctic Ocean Fleet, how big can it be? So the polar bear was gorgeously ignored by everyone this time, and could only be squeezed together with that little fart country and became a soy sauce ......

............................................................

As the sun was setting, Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States of America, was bathed in a golden-red sunset, and a gentle breeze blew, bringing with it a taste of relaxation and tranquility.

Walking on the lawn outside the hotel, he pointed to the bloody sun in the west, and said with a smile: "Friedrich, do you look at the sunset, does it look like Britain now?"

"Hahaha, as you say, it's exactly like the British Empire......" Albert laughed and said, "Wen, I've known you for a long time, and I didn't know you had this sense of humor......"

Walking with Mr. Wen at this time was the "old friend of the Chinese people", Friedrich Ebert, chairman of the German Social Democratic Party, oh, Comrade Albert now has a new identity, the new chancellor of the Second German Reich. Well, he didn't think he was the president of Weimar in this plane, but the inertia of history made him the prime minister.

Although the German Revolution ended in failure, it also showed the Junker elite the horror of the power of the people. In order not to provoke more serious consequences, the frightened German authorities were forced to make great concessions to the broad middle and lower classes, and the coming to power of the Social Democrats was one of these measures. The Social Democrats were moderate socialist parties, that is to say, "right-leaning revisionism" in Soviet Russia, and their "conciliatory policy" was acceptable to both the elite and the common people.

Before he became prime minister, Friedrich had visited China many times and was familiar with Wendehei. He knew very well that Wen Deji was not a person who liked to joke, and what he said was certainly not to make fun of Britain, but to mean something.

"But the new sun always rises...... he said, implicitly.

"Yes, the earth needs the sun, and it is necessary...... "Wen Deji smiled and said, "Friedrich, what do you think of the United States?"

"Oh, America......" Albert was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed dramatically.

The phrase "God bless America" is very telling because the kingdom is like God's illegitimate child in every sense of the word. Whether it is its geographical location, as well as its land and resources, it is so good that all countries envy and hate it. At a time when the European powers were playing out their brains, this country with a unique geographical location was still enjoying the most enviable wealth and peace on the other side of the ocean, thousands of kilometers away, and at the same time making a lot of war money.

There is no way, their location is too good, the vast Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean are their biggest barriers, and the surrounding neighbors are all weak chickens and rookies, and they are rich in land and resources. A country like this, even if it does not endure the struggle of blood and fire and the test of life and death, can quickly rise to become one of the top powers on the planet with its unparalleled innate advantage. They are like dragon-like bunkers in fantasy novels, other races have to fight life and death to brush experience, and the world's running brush dungeons to level up can be promoted to legend, and even if it sleeps every day, it can sleep into a legend.

After the war, they became not only the world's largest industrial country, but also the richest country in the world. Their per capita disposable income is 1 of that of the United Kingdom, respectively. 5 times that of Germany, 2 times that of Germany, and 10 times that of China, the total wealth of which is more than that of the five major European powers combined: Britain, Germany, France, Austria, and Italy.

Chancellor Albert quickly remembered how he had felt when he first arrived in the United States the other day, and as soon as he and the German delegation set foot on the land, they were struck by the prosperity that was on display. The rows of high-rise buildings, the dense clusters of factories and exchanges, the crisscrossing railways, the endless stream of cars and motor vehicles on the roads, the starry billboards and neon signs...... Even Berlin and Frankfurt, Germany's most prosperous cities, cannot compare with them.

This kind of heyday of cooking oil and flowers was the same in London 20 years ago. However, the British Empire at that time was a scorching afternoon sun, and although it was dazzling and unforgiving, it was inevitably sinking westward. Today's America is like the morning sun, and with the passage of time, its brilliance will surely become more brilliant and brilliant.

When Prime Minister Albert thought of this, he felt that he was interfering in his mouth, and the United States in the early morning was already so terrible, how could they pay it back when they were in the middle of the day?

"Hehe, they are more terrible beings than the British......" Albert said with a somewhat bitter smile.

As for the situation in the United States, Wendeji knows better than Albert. He did not have any fear or discouragement about this "illegitimate son of God", but was full of fighting spirit and a winning spirit. After annexing large swaths of land and a large number of colonies in Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, North Asia, and Central Asia. The strength of the China-led Human Innovation Alliance has also swelled to an unimaginable level. They no longer lack the various industrial raw material sources and commodity dumping places that have been hindering their development in the original time and space.

Coupled with a large number of chess pieces and internal responses laid by the government and the opposition in various countries, its tentacles of influence have extended to all the lands of the five continents of the world. There are also various black technologies that transcend the times, because Mr. Wen always has enough and strong hole cards. He has full confidence to completely bring down the United States, the "illegitimate son of God."

He firmly believes that under his leadership, China will become the master of this planet, and the hard-working, rigorous, brave and tenacious Chinese people are the core protagonists on the future world stage! The Chinese civilization with a glorious history and great rejuvenation is the ultimate leader of this planet!

Although Mr. Wen is not afraid of a head-on game with the United States, if he can weaken his opponent as much as possible, why not do it? A good fighter has no outstanding achievements, which is why he digs so many holes for the United States. No, now there's another one.

Seeing Albert's reaction, Wen Desi was secretly proud in his heart, but said with a faint expression: "Friedrich, what I'm most worried about is that these two suns are combined into one, after all, they are both Anglo-Saxon ......"

"Wen, please don't be kidding, the situation you described is terrible......" Albert's face turned green. A country with the largest territory and the largest population plus the United States, which has the largest industry first, what kind of monster is this Nima?

"Friedrich, we've known each other for so long, you should understand that I'm not a joker. I'm not alarmist, no matter how bad their previous relationship was, it was the same thing. According to our Chinese language, this is called breaking bones and connecting tendons. They are likely to make this choice if Britain loses hope. It is better to give the crown that you can't keep to your brother than to an outsider. Who do you think Britain will treat as brothers? Is it you, Germany, or China......"

Albert fell into a long test with a blue face, and Wen Deji smiled slightly, not disturbing him, and enjoying the surrounding scenery by himself.

The hotel was built by the United States before the war, and it is a building full of Romanesque style. Because they were afraid of being ridiculed by the old Europeans for not knowing art, the Americans spent a lot of money to hire famous designers from Italy to design, and now the garden they are in is extremely ingenious, full of marble carvings and fountains, typical Romanesque gardens.

Albert is also a long-time veteran, and he will come back to it after a while. "The Germanic peoples have had enough of suffering and can no longer be suppressed by the Anglo-Saxons, and the world should not belong only to the Anglo-Saxons," he said to Wendesi. I think Chinese people think the same way......"

"Of course, we've always thought they've been in this position long enough...... "Moon nodded with a smile.

"Then, in order to avoid such a tragedy, Germany and China should be able to cooperate more deeply. ......," Albert said with a smile.

"I have always had a good impression of Germany, and although the two countries had to go to hostility because of some regrets, we still have ......feelings for Germany," he said in a very "hardman" tone. Well, in fact, it goes without saying that he is the largest self-stemming five marks on the planet......

Similar to the above words, not only for Germany, but also for other countries, Britain and the United States are no exception. Of course, it wasn't just Wen Deji who spoke, but more people else. The content of the words is not exactly the same, but they all pick the things that countries are most worried about. These words are not nonsense, the great powers are not fools, and they will certainly not be able to deceive people by making up nonsense. Those words are well-founded and logical.

Half an hour later, the two returned to the hotel to attend the welcome party hosted by President Cox tonight.

........................................................................

With the arrival of the Chinese delegation, negotiations on the "Treaty on the Limitation of Naval Armaments" officially began, and the representatives of various countries began a war of words and swords. The Chinese delegation was in charge of the negotiations with Foreign Minister Cavour and Vice Minister Gu Weijun, and the military representative was Senior Admiral Chen Tianxiong, Chief Political Commissar of the Navy.

The first is that China, the United States and Germany have joined forces to spray the British proposal. After strong opposition, Niuniu increased the tonnage cap by another 200,000 tons, but this still made the three opponents not satisfied.

"There is no doubt that for a great empire, the share of capital ships of 800,000 tons is absolutely not enough!" said the German representative.

"800,000 is really too little, the United States needs to deploy a fleet on the two oceans, and we cannot accept this option. ”

"We in China also want to protect the interests of the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, and 800,000 tons is not enough. Gu Weijun also said.

In the end, in desperation, Niu Niu had to give in and relax the tonnage to 1 million tons. At this time, China also proposed that the Qingcheng-class should not be regarded as a capital ship, but should be a cruiser, and now it will be the turn of other countries to spray China shamelessly. The Germans also proposed that submarines should not be included in the category of disarmament, which was naturally met with unanimous spat from all countries......

This kind of mouth cannon has been going on, either spraying each other, or several families spraying one together. Anyway, everyone wants to put forward a proposal that is beneficial to themselves, and as for whether they want to be embarrassed or not, it doesn't matter, so what does it matter if they are sprayed? If you do diplomacy, you will lose face a long time ago.

According to diplomatic rhetoric, the participants in the meeting had frank talks, had a full exchange of views, and enhanced understanding among all parties, and the talks were beneficial......

While the disarmament conference was in full swing, Wen Desi and the other bigwigs of the great powers were chatting in another secluded villa. If it's just a matter like the Disarmament Conference, Wen Deji and many bigwigs won't come, and it's good to send his men to do this kind of thing. What they are going to do is another meeting.

They were now talking about the establishment of the "League of Nations," which was not as sensitive as the Conference on Disarmament, so the atmosphere was much more relaxed, and the bigwigs had relaxed expressions and bursts of laughter from time to time.
