Vol 4 Chapter 164: , The target of public criticism-Wilson

Britain and France are still arguing over the German issue, and the Americans have also begun their own actions. Wilson called a group of small countries to form an international alliance.
Britain and France have no interest in the League of Nations, but it does not mean that they can tolerate Americans doing things under their noses. Britain and France in this time and space are much stronger!
Although Ferdinand is very interested in the League of Nations, it is a pity that it is impossible to gain the dominant right now. Let's be a kid for others. So Constantine also joined the camp of Britain and France against the American version of the League of Nations.
...
Constantine suggested: "Should we form the League of Nations? It saves the Americans from tossing about there!"
"Pick the peaches!"
Lloyd-George and Poincaré came up with these three words in their minds. They have no pressure on "picking peaches", especially the Americans!
With the current strength of the alliance between Britain, France and the United States, it is not comparable to that of the Americans, and the influence is even farther away. As long as the countries are not stupid, they will know where to stand!
After pondering for a moment, Lloyd George said, "This is a great idea!"
John Bull is the best at doing this kind of thing. In this era, the British have played diplomacy to the extreme. The most typical thing is the performance in the first, middle and last three periods of World War I!
Before the outbreak of the World War, they played with the Germans with applause; after the outbreak of the World War, the British fully demonstrated their ability to pull allies to the world; after the World War, the vitality of the British still suppressed the aggressive Americans.
Judging from these methods, it is enough to see how powerful their diplomatic methods are. This time and space is no exception. Their diplomatic methods are still the best in Europe. The only Austro-Hungarian empire that can rival them has passed away with the death of the old emperor. Can't compare with them.
The strength of the Americans is less than half of the military strength of the same period in history. If John Bull has to make concessions to them now, they will no longer be the overlords of the world!
Don't look at the Americans of the future generations being very powerful, thinking that they are also very powerful in this era, and it is still the era of the British.
In fact, due to the Ferdinand Butterfly Effect, the duration of the European War was shortened by two years, and the strength of the European Big Six was more well preserved. The Americans still cannot compare with Europe!
This is not only in the military. In terms of science and technology, the Americans are now lagging behind Europe in general. After the Great Depression in Europe, when a large number of talents from European countries immigrated to the United States, American talents have caught up.
Even in the most powerful economic field of the Americans, the total national economic income of the Americans in 1914 was 13.7 billion U.S. dollars, which has already passed the 1.1 billion U.S. dollars of the British, but this is only the homeland, and the colonies are still better for the British. !
Of course, in industry, because the Americans have a larger home market, their total industrial output has already overtaken the British. Now their industrial strength has exceeded the sum of the three kingdoms, France and France, and still includes the industries in the colonies of the three countries. !
On the 13th, the League of Nations was formed under the initiative of the three countries of Britain, France and Bulgaria. In just half of the time, 28 countries applied for membership. The influence of the three countries is remarkable!
Seeing something impossible, Wilson simply chose to quit. He overturned the table and said that he would not play anymore. In the near future, he would regret this hasty behavior.
On the 15th, Wilson, unwilling to fail, gave a speech that shocked the world at Notre Dame de Paris: "Today we came to Paris with peace and sincerity, but the result was very disappointing to me. There is still no fairness in this world!
The strong dominate everything, and the weak are precarious!
This is not the world we want. Only notarization and fairness, cancellation of unequal treatment, and peaceful coexistence of all are our ideal world. Today I propose:
(1) Peace treaties are openly concluded between countries without secret diplomacy.
(2) There is absolute freedom of navigation on the high seas regardless of war or peace;
(3) Remove economic barriers between countries and establish trade equality treaties;
(4) Fully guarantee each other, the armament of each country must be reduced to the lowest level that guarantees its internal security;
(5) Adjust the requirements for the colony, treat the colonial people equally, realize the autonomy of the colonies, and allow them to be free and independent;
(6) Countries withdraw troops from Italy to ensure the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Italy;
(7) The German forces withdrew from Belgium and restored Belgium's independence;
(8) The German forces withdrew from France, and Alsace-Lorraine returned to France;
(9) The Bulgarian army withdrew from Germany to ensure the territorial integrity of Germany;
(1o) Bulgaria withdrew from Romania, Serbia, Montenegro and the Ottoman Empire;
(11) National self-determination in the Ottoman Empire;
(12) The peoples of the Austro-Hungarian Empire achieved self-determination;
(13) The realization of self-determination among the nations of the Russian Empire;
(14) Restore the independence of Poland.
I think that human nature can be changed. Why can't everyone treat losers loosely? As long as everyone is more tolerant, war can be completely avoided, and conflicts of interest between countries can also be reconciled. We just lack a tolerant heart!
..."
Wilson's speech directly pushed the United States to the opposite of Britain, France and Bulgaria. Constantine was so angry that he gritted his teeth. If the Americans' goals were achieved, Bulgaria would have no future! No, it's not even now!
Lloyd-George and Poincaré have rarely shown the same hatred. The Americans are trying to smash the foundation of their colonial empire!
Once the colonies are allowed to become independent on a large scale, then will Britain and France be a world empire? Britain and France without colonies may still be a big country, but they are definitely not a great power anymore. Most of their power lies in the colonies!
The Americans' ideas are indeed very good. As long as they reach the colonial empire, they will be the leaders of the era. Coupled with a trick of national consciousness, they can disintegrate most of the world's powers.
It’s a pity that they forgot that once the window paper is broken, the consequences are very serious. Their proposal is not only disgusting to the three countries of Britain, France and Bulgaria, the Russian Empire, Austro-Hungary, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, and Japan. glare!
It's no wonder that after the First World War, the badly injured British were able to block the ambitious Americans back. There are so many people who are unhappy with the Americans. If they still don't know how to use it, it will be John Bull?
Constantine angrily said: "Mr. Wilson, I suggest you do some self-examination first!
For example, let the Southern Union in the evening be independent, and then let the Indians establish their own country, and the blacks in your country also need to establish their own country. But your west is not stable. They also want independence. How about giving them a chance?
When you go back and finish these things, and then come here to say these things, I think the letter will be more convincing, and we will be able to feel your sincerity more! "
As soon as Constantine finished speaking, there was thunderous applause. Obviously, this is the European 6th place and the French home arena. Everyone has no good impressions of Americans.
From a historical point of view, the independence of the United States has benefited from the selfless help of the French. If it were not for their deadly British people, the Great Six Coalition would not be able to establish the United States of America.
However, after the Americans completed their independence, they could not wait to stabbed the French. At the crucial moment of the French war in Europe, it was more appropriate to buy French colonies in the Americas, or to rob them. The French could have a good impression on them. strange!
Now that they are stabbing the knife again, they are naturally embarrassed. For example, someone in the British delegation took the lead and shouted: "Wilson, you son of a bitch, get me back to America!"
Then there was no more. Under everyone's unanimous request, Wilson had to end dingy. Even if someone supports him, he dare not defend him now, and dare to offend so many countries at the same time. Apart from the Americans, no one else can do it!
Although Wilson was blasted off the stage, the content of his speech still spread. The independent elements of the colony knew whom to turn to for help. It can be said that the Americans ignited the first fire of the colonial independence movement!
In history, Britain and France have been exhausted for a long time in order to put out the fire, so that they gradually declined.
Among the major colonial empires, Bulgaria has the least pressure. There is no other reason, but "too much sand and too little population"!
Don’t look at the current colonial area of ​​Bulgaria’s civil rights including approximately 180,000 square kilometers in Libya + nearly 290,000 square kilometers in the Arabian Peninsula + about 60,000 square kilometers in Iraq and some Iranian regions + about 70,000 square kilometers in Asia Minor and Transcaucasus. +370,000 square kilometers, but the total population of these areas is less than 15 million!
The total population of Libya is less than 50,000. It also includes more than 40,000 Italian immigrants and a Bulgarian garrison of more than 20,000 people. The area is so vast that the population is extremely sparse. Revolution and independence are non-existent!
The total population of Italian Somalia is less than 650,000, including some Italian immigrants, even if you want to make trouble!
The Asia Minor peninsula plus the Transcaucasian region has a population of 10 million in 195o. Now it has just experienced a war, and the total population is less than 450,000, which also includes ethnic Armenians.
The population of Syria is about 120,000, Lebanon is about 30,000, Jordan is about 30,000, and Palestine is about 50,000. (Including the numbers of immigrants from Greece and Romania) The above area is divided into the Arabian Peninsula when calculating the area. The total population of other Bulgarian controlled areas in the Arabian Peninsula is about 410,000.
The total population of Iraq and parts of Iran is about 220,000. (Note: The above information comes from the world demographic atlas and has been modified in conjunction with the impact of actual warfare!)
In contrast, it has the greatest influence on the British. Who would call them the largest colony and the largest population? It is naturally the most troublesome to make trouble to deal with!
Constantine didn't know what the end result of the national independence wave induced by the Americans would be, but he knew that now it was necessary to unite with Britain and France and other countries to drive the United States away first.
Constantine hesitated again and again and finally proposed: "In view of the provocation of the Americans, I think the League of Nations must impose severe punishment on them!"
Lloyd-George frowned, and he thought about looking for the bad luck of the Americans, but they have a big six, which is beyond reach!
"Oh, what is Constantine's suggestion?" Lloyd George asked concerned.
"The League of Nations strictly inspects Americans' trade products, prohibits them from selling weapons and equipment, disrupts the world order, and can appropriately raise their tariffs!" Constantine answered cautiously
Lloyd George was surprised that if the Americans were allowed to sell weapons to the colonies, sooner or later they would cause a mess. This is absolutely intolerable by the British Empire. Raising American tariffs is also a good way of warning!
Before he could speak again, French President Poincaré had already made a decision: "Okay! Let's teach the Americans a lesson first. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com will let them know that the world is not yet their turn to call the shots!"
Sure enough, after having a common enemy, our relationship has improved a lot. The Americans would never have imagined that the League of Nations they proposed would become the best tool for the three countries to fight against them!
Lloyd-George smiled and said: "Since everyone agrees, then we will propose to the League of Nations to ban Americans from exporting weapons and equipment to disrupt world peace. At the same time, we all raise tariffs on imports from the United States. I think Thirty percent would be a reasonable number!"
"Good!" the two said in unison
With such a toss, the future economic development of the Americans will inevitably be very seriously affected. With British and French naval bases around the world, as long as they randomly check American merchant ships from time to time, they will be able to bear it, not to mention the increase in tariffs?
As for whether the League of Nations will pass, you just need to think about how many people the Americans have offended. The US government has already begun to float away from the fortunes of the Great War. Recently, it has made mistakes one after another. There is no pressure on them.
Constantine has no hope for the implementation of the League of Nations. As long as these countries that are dissatisfied with the Americans can implement him, he will be content. No matter if the three countries of Britain, France and Bulgaria impose high import taxes on them, it will be enough to interrupt the United States. The economy is booming!
Of course, if you want to break the American economy, don't think about it, unless they can turn the League of Nations into a monolithic one, and everyone will block the Americans together. There is still some possibility!
Now, at most, the three countries of Britain, France and the United States are all targeting the Americans. Besides, even Japan, which has extremely bad relations with the United States, cannot do it. Why do they have to import scrap iron from Americans?
