Chapter 102 The World War Is Not Over!
France, Paris.
When the Hungarians refused the ultimatum of the Allies and the news that they formed the Soviet republic came. The three countries quarrels at the Paris Peace Conference lasted for two months. The Paris Peace Conference was not bargaining with the victorious countries and the defeated countries, but the leaders of the British, American and French countries in the victorious countries quarreled behind closed doors, Japanese representatives Nishimotoji Komatsu and Makino Nobunaga, and Italian Prime Minister Orlando and others were watching the show.
At this meeting, the ideal result for Britain was to regress on the European continent to the situation before the World War or the Franco-Prussian War. That is, to continue to maintain a balance of power, and several evenly powerful powers restrain each other and no one can do anything to each other. There is no difference between France's dominance and Germany's dominance.
Unfortunately, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which was originally an important part of the balance of power in Europe, has fallen apart, and Russia, another link in the balance of power in Europe, has become a difficult Soviet country to get along with... If we cannot find a way to make the situation in Russia favorable to Britain after the Paris Peace Conference, then Russia will no longer be the force to maintain the balance of power in Europe.
The French proposed to use a large Poland to isolate Russia from Europe, but can the Poles really fight against the Russians? Even Europeans would not believe it.
Moreover, the Poles have always been pro-France! Most of the Greater Poland is a die-hard ally of the ** country, and it is still strengthening the power of France. Therefore, the British do not agree to over-weak Germany, so as not to prevent France from being strong and difficult to control.
The French naturally wanted to smash Germany and swallow it piece by piece! At least it was bounded by the Rhine River - this would swallow Germany's most important industrial area in one bite. In this way, France would become the largest and second industrial country in Europe, far surpassing Britain. If a hard-core and pro-French major** is added, Europe would return to the Napoleon era overnight!
Not to mention that the British did not agree to this matter, even the Americans had to jump up. So Britain and the United States opposed it together!
As for what Americans want, of course, it is to replace Britain to lead the world. This kind of replacement is the question of who is the boss between their own brothers, and the contradiction between Britain, Germany, France, France and Germany is not the same concept. So the method proposed by Woodrow Wilson to achieve the United States leading the world is called the League of Nations, which sounds a bit like a concept...
In short, the Paris Peace Conference lasted for two months, and the Japanese devils, Nishinoji Komatsu and Makino, had to watch the play for two months. However, on March 23, when the two Japanese arrived at the mirror hall of Versailles, they found that the presidents of Britain, France and the United States, the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister were very close, and almost met and were talking in a low voice around a table.
"What's going on? Mr. Prime Minister." Makino seemed to be afraid to go up and disturb Wilson, Clemenceau and Lloyd George, the three "overlords" came to the Italian Prime Minister Orlando, who sat aside, crossed his legs, and looked gloating.
"They found that the world war was not over yet!" Orlando turned around and said to the Japanese in a rare tone.
"The world war is not over yet?" Makino was stunned, "Has the Germans changed their minds?"
"No, not Germany, it's Hungary!" said Orlando. "They rejected the ultimatum and established the Soviet Republic!"
"What? What?" Makino Nobuo and Nishizoji Kouwang looked at each other. The fun was so big. The meeting lasted for two months. The three giants quarreled here every day to share the spoils. As a result, the world war was not over yet, and in theory, they didn't even get the victory!
"What should I do?" Xiyuan Temple Gongwang asked hurriedly.
The Italian Prime Minister replied: "What else can I do? Of course I have to beat the Hungarians upright!"
"Who will beat him?" Makino asked with a look.
Orlando shrugged, "We Italians are willing to put in their strength if our efforts can be rewarded accordingly..."
Unfortunately, Britain, the United States and France never thought of letting the Italians go to Hungary... This would definitely be a loss for the Hungarians! As for the Japanese, the war in Europe had nothing to do with them. Now they just need to consider how to get Germany's rights in Shandong.
The troops of Britain, the United States and France actually didn't want to go to Hungary because they found that the road to Hungary was difficult...
...
The way to Hungary is very difficult for the British, French and Americans. Because they do not border the Hungarians, and Germany and Austria have not signed a harsh treaty yet. In theory, Germany and Austria may not accept the conditions of the Allies and choose to fight!
Therefore, it is not feasible to travel to Hungary through Germany and Austria's territory. If you have to pass, you have to negotiate with Germany and Austria, at least you have to give the conditions for lifting the blockade?
If you can't go to Germany and Austria, then the Allies can only enter Hungary by land from Croatia, Serbia and Romania.
"The Hungarians are very abominable. They destroyed the railway and blew up many railway bridges. Now the railway traffic from Croatia, Romania and Serbia to the Hungarian plains has been completely interrupted!"
"The water transportation of the Danube was also interrupted! They laid out mines in the Danube!"
"They also surrounded our two Moroccan regiments in Budapest, disarmed them and expelled them to Austria. This is declaring war on the Allies and France!"
"Yes, this is a declaration of war! The Allies cannot retreat, so you must give them some excellence!"
"Yes, I must give them some ruthlessness!"
The discussion became fierce, and the "tiger" Clemenceau was the most excited, jumping and shouting for killing. British Prime Minister Lloyd George also abandoned his gentlemanly demeanor and agreed on the side. The Hungarians not only refused to surrender, but also established a Soviet republic! This is completely different from the "fake Soviet" of the Germans!
According to the report of the agreement delegation and special delegation expelled to Vienna, the ruling Hungarian Unified Socialist Party has publicly declared that it would establish a proletariat! And it is still in implementation. After they "snatched" (actually it cannot be considered a seizure, but the Caroli government could not continue to do it and gave up power) the regime, they immediately issued the law to establish the Red Army! The Hungarian Red Army established political commissars in full accordance with the Soviet Red Army model. As the real power holders of various troops, professional officers (mainly old officers and hired German and Austrian veterans) were just their staff.
The Hungarian judiciary was also completely revolutionized, the old judicial organs were abolished, the new revolutionary court where the original workers were in charge of trial was established, and the revolutionary people's police also replaced the original old police.
In terms of economy, the first declaration issued by the Hungarian Soviet Government was to announce the nationalization of banks, mines, large industrial enterprises, transportation tools and large real estate. Subsequently, the Hungarian Soviet Government issued a decree that foreign trade is monopolized by the state and established the Supreme National Economic Committee to manage the national economic work.
After the promulgation and implementation of these series of decrees, the leaders of the Allied Powers have realized the fact that the Soviet revolution is spreading in Europe! The second real Soviet country has appeared in Europe!
"Mr. Prime Minister, Mr. Prime Minister!" US President Woodrow Wilson suddenly said to Clemenceau and Lloyd George in an extremely solemn tone, "The Russian revolution has not been extinguished, and Hungary has become the second Soviet republic! If we cannot unite and curb the momentum of the revolution spread, a new world war may begin!"
