Vol 4 Chapter 157: , The unwilling Americans

After arranging the domestic affairs, the Constantine delegation took the Constantinople to Paris. This is also the second time Constantine participated in an international conference. The last time was the London Peace Conference. The difference from the last time is now. Bulgaria has also become a chess player!
The Paris Peace Conference has not yet begun. Everyone knows that the leader of this time must be the Three Kingdoms Agreement between Britain, France and Bulgaria. As for the Russians, wait until they finish the civil war. Now they are responsible for the soy sauce!
In fact, Ferdinand also wanted to join in the fun, but after seeing the representatives of various countries, he decisively chose to give up. Other countries were all government officials sent by him. He was embarrassed as a king in the past!
Couldn't he go and wrestle with French President Poincaré and British Coincidental George in person? If you go, you will be an audience, sitting there without saying a word and watching them quarrel. Isn't that just asking for sin?
International status is achieved, and strength can win respect. Don’t look at the more than 20 countries participating in the conference. It is said that Americans who are not reconciled to loneliness have sent representatives to participate this time, but they really have the right to speak. The three giants of the Allied Powers.
The most prominent manifestation is that as soon as the World War ended, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bulgaria became lively. Many countries that participated in this world war came to the door and wanted Bulgaria to support them in the peace meeting.
This is mainly due to the late rise of Bulgaria. Except for the Mediterranean coast, its influence in other parts of the world is still very limited. If it were not for this world war, it is estimated that many countries would not know that Bulgaria is already a first-class power.
Since there is little communication with each other, we can't talk about enemies, or friends! It is precisely because of this that there is a need for contact!
...
Time passed in a hurry and entered the month of January. The Paris Peace Conference was about to start. Due to Ferdinand’s butterfly effect, the number of American countries participating in the World War was much less, so the number of participants in the Peace Conference was also Reduced some.
A total of 786 representatives from various countries and 58 plenipotentiary representatives participated in the conference. The number of informal representatives, related experts and various staff members was as high as 5,826. At the time, this was an unprecedented conference.
The only people worthy of Constantine’s attention are the French President Poincaré, the British co-star George, and the American President Wilson.
That's right, the Americans who are unwilling to be lonely also came this time, and the president himself came. Of course, the size of the US delegation is not as big as in history, after all, they are not participating in the war.
However, as creditors of the Allied Powers, everyone still has to give some face. Of course, this does not include the British. Since this world war lasted only two and a half years, John Bull’s family was still able to survive and there was no need to borrow Americans. Money!
Bulgaria, France, and the Russian Empire still owe them money, among which the Russians owe the most.
If it were not for the sudden explosion of the Russian Civil War, American capital should now be deeply rooted in Mao Xiong's heart, and it might even replace French capital and become the largest investor in Russia.
Money is the capital of Americans to participate in this meeting. Through debt, they can already affect the two countries of France!
Constantine was discussing the upcoming peace meeting with Metiev, and the attendant walked in and said: "Your Excellency, President Wilson is here!"
Constantine frowned. Obviously, he has no good feelings for this uninvited guest. This is no prejudice. In this era, all European politicians have no good feelings for Americans!
He and Metiev looked at each other, and both were able to see the displeasure in each other's eyes. Obviously, neither of them had a cold toward Americans. If you don't like it, you don't like it, but he still won't neglect the matter of etiquette.
"Please!" Constantine said
...
Although they didn't welcome the sudden visit of Wilson in their hearts, the two of them welcomed him in style. On the surface, the three seemed to be good friends for many years.
Wilson said happily: "The two world wars have ended, but the post-war international order still needs to be rebuilt, the old world has fallen, and the new world order needs to be rebuilt.
The United States and Bulgaria are both emerging powers. In the establishment of a new world order, it is necessary for us to increase our voice!
I propose that we jointly establish an international alliance and invite all independent countries around the world to participate. Everyone has negotiated with this platform to deal with contradictions between them to maintain world peace! "
Constantine thought that it really came. The Americans intend to transform the world according to their plan, but does this have anything to do with Bulgaria?
It is easy to establish this alliance, but mastering the voice of this alliance is not so simple. Bulgaria is not a world-wide power yet, and the voice that can be obtained on this platform is very limited.
In addition to the Mediterranean coast, there are several countries in other regions who will buy Bulgaria's account. If the problem is solved by voting, it is estimated that it will not be compared with Britain and France, even Spain may not be comparable!
It is estimated that this is the reason why the Americans came to the door. As long as everyone establishes an alliance together, the Americans can influence the world through gold dollars. Although Bulgaria has the strength, its influence in the world is not enough to compete with them. The right to speak!
After thinking about all of this, Constantine was not interested in Wilson's proposal at all. Why did Bulgaria get ahead without enough interest?
This is when the new forces challenge the old order. Once they stand on the wrong team, Bulgaria will welcome the suppression of Britain and France!
Konstantin's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said coldly: "Mr. Wilson, it is easy to build an international alliance, but it is not easy to really make a difference!
I think if there is no support from Britain and France, I am afraid that even if we have established this alliance, it will be an empty shell. After all, their influence is much greater than ours! "
Wilson said confidently: "Mr. Constantine, you have to have confidence in us, as long as we are united, it will be enough to change the world.
The establishment of an international alliance to adjust the contradictions between countries is a good thing for most weak and small countries. They have no reason not to support us! "
Constantine still shook his head and said: "I deeply admire your proposal. If the League of Nations can be established, Bulgaria will naturally join, but we have no intention of establishing such an alliance. After all, we are still a member of the Allies!"
Seeing that Constantine had made up his mind, Wilson knew that it would be useless to say nothing more, so he ended the topic. Anyway, his initial purpose has been achieved, at least Bulgaria will not oppose their actions.
...
After sending Wilson away, Constantine asked: "What do you think, is the purpose of Americans really that simple?"
Metzhev thought for a while and said: "On the surface, the Americans are just trying to establish an international alliance to increase their voice in the world. In fact, I am afraid that they are wooing allies and preparing to counter the subsequent blows by Britain and France!
In the past two years, the Americans have been too active. The French were almost expelled from the Americas. The British power was also greatly affected. After the war, they will definitely not let go!
Now the Americans are pulling us into the game, just to help them share the pressure, they are very vicious! "
Constantine nodded. It was precisely because he had guessed the American plan that he rejected Wilson in one fell swoop, and refused to let him state the terms.
After all, Bulgaria's strategy has been determined. The main purpose of the next 20 years is to farm. If it is to bully a small country, it is better to provoke Britain and France!
Once this is done, Britain and France will probably fight for the inside and then the outside. It is definitely not possible to block the knife for the Americans. Even if they offer sky-high prices, Constantine will not be able to risk Bulgaria's future!
Constantine sneered and said: "The mobster is the mobster, and the English and French are not strong yet. They are so unsteady and want to dominate the world. They probably didn't wake up!"
Well, he is despising the Americans as a big hit, so why not Bulgaria? Even if it has historical background, it is a matter of hundreds of years. Can't the Ottoman Empire be regarded as part of Bulgarian civilization?
Although they have taken the Ottoman Empire and replaced it, they still can't do it to absorb the Ottoman civilization! The main reason is that Ferdinand can't afford to lose that person. Bulgaria's heritage is short, but his own family is old enough, and there is no need to recognize ancestors randomly!
However, neither of them felt weird. It has become a habit in European countries to exclude Americans, or it is due to incompatibility + jealousy. The latter factor may be even greater!
Metzhev's face showed an expression of hatred for iron and steel, and said: "The Americans are also weird. With their comprehensive industrial strength, even compared to the Germans, they are not inferior.
The Germans have the courage to fight alone in the Four-Nation Agreement. How can they be a glorious defeat? And the Americans are so afraid of Britain and France, who are seriously injured, do they know how to make money in their heads? "
When he said this, he still had a strong sour taste. Obviously he was also jealous of the strong industrial strength of the Americans. Fortunately, although the total industrial volume of the Americans is large, they still lag behind Europe in high-tech technology. .EbookFREE.me~ Otherwise, they will not just look hot!
...
Since Wilson wants to establish an international alliance, it is naturally impossible to win over Bulgaria. The countries participating in the meeting are their targets.
But everyone is not a fool, and we know that Britain and France still have the final say in this world, and there is no American at all in this peace meeting.
It’s okay to participate in meetings, and that’s a good deal of soy sauce. When the formal meeting begins, Wilson will show that he does not even have the qualifications to enter the meeting room!
Wilson, who returned without success, is now considering whether to make a big news, which was thrown out by the Americans in history: the "fourteen point" world program for hegemony based on the establishment of an international alliance and the maintenance of freedom of navigation on the high seas.
However, the current international environment is different. The status of the Americans is not as high as in history, let alone the strength in history. This proposal is bound to be hostile by the major powers, and he dare not make up his mind for a while!
Especially "national self-determination", this one is undoubtedly the life of the colonial empire, it is simply an endless rhythm!
Although it is possible to gain the goodwill of some countries, goodwill cannot be eaten, and no matter how good it is, people dare not stand up to support them!
Americans today are not the United States after World War II. In terms of economic size, they have just crossed the British Commonwealth. However, compared with the European Big Six, they are still far behind. Even the broken Europe is not. They can be compared in one country!
This is why Wilson is not worried. Once this step is taken, the enemy is not just Britain and France. Even the small colonial countries such as Holland, Belgium, and Portugal are their enemies. Of course, Bulgaria is indispensable!
