Chapter 1124 Paris Peace Conference
After fierce competition and mutual compromise, on June 28, the victorious countries finally signed the "Peace of Peace against Germany", namely the "Peace of Versailles", in the famous Palace of Versailles, near Paris. The content is basically similar to the original history.
The only difference
The conference did not support the demands of Japanese representatives and handed over Germany's pre-war privileges in Shandong to Fusang. This move caused Japanese negotiators to leave in anger and did not participate in the subsequent negotiations on the contract with Germany.
Under the leadership of the heads of Britain, France and the United States, the "Versailles Contract" roughly reflects the interests of victorious countries led by Britain, France and the United States, divides the boundaries of interests, and forms a new post-war order.
Italy raised the Libyan issue again during the peace meeting, but was flatly rejected by Zhang Li, the Prime Minister of the Ocean Empire, and there was no room for negotiation at all.
The British and French did not support either, and the Italian representative was so angry that he left the country after Fuso, becoming the second country to leave the formal talks.
This did not affect anything. No one in the three major countries of Britain, France and Japan made any comments to keep them. Not long after, Italy returned to the venue in shame, but became much silent.
On the Libya issue
The Ocean Empire offered a high price, which not only involved the arrangements of the post-war world pattern, but also involved many exchanges of interests in Eastern Europe, North America and West Asia. After thinking about it, Britain felt that it was not worthwhile, so the matter was delayed.
Britain did want to squeeze out the power of the Ocean Empire from the Mediterranean, but it took a lot of money to make Italy get cheaper, and it was so uneasy.
Italy did not have enough chips in its hands, and he was thinking about the good thing of making money for nothing, and no one paid attention to him.
The French do not want to cause trouble because France has a very vast colony in Algeria, North Africa. In addition, its domestic strength has greatly reduced, and it is not very interested in Libya.
After a while, this matter was put on hold.
Paris, in a luxurious palace not far from Versailles
Li Fushou met with representatives of the Imperial Expeditionary Force here. More than 20 senior military officials present, the lowest positions were Lieutenant General, namely Lieutenant General He Jiaben, deputy commander of the Atlantic Fleet and commander of the Azorean Fleet.
The highest positions are Marshals of the Three Continental Army, Marshal Li Shuanzhu, Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, Marshal Bian Chunsong, Deputy Commander-in-Chief and Commander-in-Chief of the First Army, and Marshal Duan Qixiang, Deputy Commander-in-Chief and Commander-in-Chief of the Second Army.
"I welcome the emperor and wish my emperor a great honor at home and abroad."
"Don't give me a gift, sit down and talk." Li Fushou walked out with a gentle expression, raised his hand lightly to show that he would give me a gift, and then took the lead in sitting down on the upper dragon couch.
His eyes flashed across the room of generals who were shining with stars. Looking at these majestic generals, his expression of satisfaction flashed past.
"I'm waiting for the thanks!" After all the generals saluted respectfully, they sat down from left to right.
First, Marshal Li Shuanzhu reported to the emperor the overall situation of the expeditionary force stationed in Europe and the subsequent withdrawal arrangements.
According to the plan;
After soliciting personal retirement intentions, some of the expeditionary forces stationed in Britain and France can be resettled on the spot by local women. They can receive part of the monetary compensation, and can also apply for preferential bank loans as retired officers and soldiers to help gain a foothold in Britain and France.
Some retired soldiers who were willing to accept arrangements to the Republic of Crimea took passenger ships to Odessa one after another.
The remaining officers and soldiers will evacuate through the Atlantic route before the end of this year and will make proper arrangements for officers and soldiers who intend to settle in the Republic of Virginia, North American territories or Panama.
The other part is the army stationed in the defeated countries headed by Germany, Austria and the former Ottoman Empire. There is no specific withdrawal timetable and is yet to be arranged.
The Republic of Crimea has officially started operation. More than 500,000 German soldiers captured during the war also returned home by land. Each person arranged rations for 10 days and a small amount of cash to achieve the ultimate deeds.
A mobile brigade unit participating in the Russian Intervention Army has been withdrawn and is temporarily rested in the Republic of Crimea.
This way
On the European territory of Russia, there was no involvement of the Ocean Empire Intervention Army. This was not even willing to do superficial work and completely evacuated Russia.
The 119th Division (Guilin Division) stationed in the Far Eastern Krai region, after attacking thousands of miles to wipe out the Seminov bandits, retreated all over the line to the surrounding areas of Vladivostok, and plans to withdraw troops one after another in August.
The cold season in Siberia is not easy, and the temperature will drop below zero in late September, and then there will be almost half a year of ice and snow, which is a severe test for personnel and equipment.
It is expected that by the end of October, all personnel of the 119th Division will be evacuated to end the armed operation to interfere in Tsarist Russia's internal affairs.
Currently in Outer Mongolia, Zhebuzundanba convenes the royal princes and senior monks to hold a meeting.
All resolutions in the meeting:
The abolishment of "Outer Mongolia Autonomy" was not in favor of "independence", restoring the old system of the Qing Dynasty, and completely unifying the territory and administration were centralized. Outer Mongolia was an inseparable part of the Republic of China.
Conditions are:
In addition to appointing one senior official in Kulun, the President of the Republic of China should add one Mongolian assistant to assist in the affairs of the Mongolian people.
All administrative power in Outer Mongolia is dominated by the two Han and Mongolian officials, to eliminate the Lama power, to combat foreign separatist forces, to appoint Mongolian officials, and to reorganize local governments by the two Han nationalities, etc.
Xu Shuzhen appointed his deputy Major General Gu Wei as a senior official in Kulun, presided over the affairs of Outer Mongolia, and left an army of 3,000 people to station in Kulun for a long time to ensure the military control of Outer Mongolia in the Republic of China.
By the end of 2019
The Third Army and Fourth Army of the Imperial Expedition will all be withdrawn from the country and the temporary army number will be cancelled.
More than 200,000 troops under the 2nd Army were stationed in the Republic of Crimea, and will be replenished and veterans will be removed, and the battle sequence of 10 divisions will be maintained.
That is, the 2nd Army under the Royal Army retained 9 infantry divisions and an armored division, with a total army post of 215,000.
The Royal Navy established a Crimean squadron based on the ports of Odessa and Yalta, which was under the jurisdiction of the Atlantic Fleet.
The Royal Air Force has dispatched four wings in the Republic of Crimea, with a total of more than 460 fighter jets to maintain regional peace and security.
The total number of troops under the 1st Army stationed in Germany, Austria, Istanbul and other places is about 200,000. Some will be withdrawn to Libya one after another, and some will continue to carry out military stationing missions.
The specific withdrawal timetable remains to be agreed, which is mainly the trend of the French army.
Among the 29 countries participating in the Paris Peace Conference, it is naturally the French who hate the Germans the most, and it is very appropriate to describe it as "thigh-necked".
French Prime Minister Crimson is another protagonist of the Paris Peace Conference. At this Paris Peace Conference, as the host, he was elected as the president of the conference as the chief representative of France.
Crimson is a microcosm of French emotions and has an extremely strong revenge towards Germany.
The main goal of attending the Paris Peace Conference is to minimize Germany and establish France's hegemony on the European continent.
For this purpose, Crimson proposed it at a meeting of ten people;
France not only wanted to take back Artsas and Lorraine, but also moved the French border east to the Rhine River, and advocated the merger of German provinces on the left bank of the Rhine River into an independent country called the Rhine Republic.
However, Britain and the United States did not agree to significantly split Germany, and at this point, there was a fierce quarrel with France.
The Ocean Empire, as a major foreign power, highly agrees with the "European balance policy" advocated by the UK, which is in line with its own interests and tries to avoid one's dominance.
Maintaining the balance of power between Germany and France, and wanting to use Germany to fight against the Soviet Union, both Britain and the United States opposed this suggestion of excessively weakening Germany, which simply caused Krimson's stomachache to make several cups directly smashed in the controversy.
Prime Minister Zhang Li proposed that Britain and the United States should ensure the security of France's eastern border.
If the French border is violated, the British and Western countries will provide immediate assistance and can sign an international agreement on this.
Under pressure, Crimson was forced to give up the requirement to establish the Rhine Kingdom.
In exchange, he proposed to occupy the left bank of the Rhine by the Allied forces for 30 years and hand over the Saar mining area to France.
Marshal Li Shuanzhu, who participated in the meeting, was very annoyed by France's new demand and said impatiently;
"The Imperial Army did not have so much spare time to occupy the left bank of the Rhine for 30 years, and the children wanted to go home. I never heard of any other Thrall question?"
In response, Krimson was furious and declared strongly: "No French Prime Minister will sign a treaty that will not incorporate Saar into France."
Marshal Li Shuanzhu was not outdone. He sarcastically said coldly: "What do you mean is that if France cannot get what it wants, it will refuse to cooperate with us? In this way, do you hope that the Imperial Army will return home early?"
Crimson replied: "I don't want the Allied troops to come home, I want to go back."
After saying that, he left the conference room angrily.
Stalemate for several days
Crimson had to lower the price and suggested that the Saar area be appointed to rule for 15 years, and the allies would garrison together, and then the referendum would decide its fate.
He also threatened that if this request is not met, France will withdraw from the meeting, and that is to be prepared to turn against each other.
Prime Minister Zhang Li made concessions on this issue considering the unity of the Allies and the empire's preparations to establish close relations with France and that it was not easy to offend too much.
It is precisely because of this that the issue of garrison has not been clarified for a long time, and the withdrawal of the Imperial Expeditionary Force is nowhere to be achieved.
In order to completely weaken Germany, France also put forward three requirements:
First, build a powerful Poland in the east of Germany, including Poznan and Danze, to deal with the red threat from Russia.
Second, try to pay all the Germans' pockets and demand that Germany must compensate 600 billion to 800 billion Jinmak for the losses in war.
