Vol 5 Chapter 138: London Conference

As early as the London Conference in 1927, the League of Nations formed the Disarmament Conference Preparatory Committee, this time not just for the Navy, but also for the Army and Air Force.
The reason is very simple. The British found that their army's combat effectiveness had fallen behind the times, and they wanted to restrict the development of the European army by adopting a treaty situation.
At the end of 1927 and early 1928, the fighting in Southeast Asia made the British even more panicked. The combat effectiveness shown by the Bulgarian army made them worry about the birth of the Second Germany.
At this time, without the French to help them serve as meat shields, the geopolitical relationship, no matter how they provoked, the two countries could not die.
It is impossible for Ferdinand to send millions of troops to attack, and it is even more impossible for the French government to send troops. How many countries are separated between the two sides?
As long as Bulgaria does not develop inland in Europe, it will not have a core conflict of interest with the French, and the world hegemony dispute has long been unrelated to them.
Unconsciously, the London government suddenly found that they had been isolated again, and that they were isolated because of their interests!
This is troublesome, unlike the last time, when there were two major groups in the world confronting each other, everyone was rushing to win over the self-isolated British.
Everyone now isolates the British because of their interests. The main contradictions in the world today are those between the British and the major powers.
This made Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin uncomfortable. It would not work if he wanted to stir up alienation, create contradictions, and take advantage of the fishermen.
No matter France, Bulgaria, or Japan in the Far East, their greatest enemy is the British Empire, and even the second enemy is missing.
The ranges of power between several great powers are perfectly separated by the British Empire. If they want to break out, they must first border their spheres of influence.
It was originally the Philippine Islands that were thrown out as bait. As a result, Ferdinand was not hooked because of insufficient benefits, and the conflict between France and France naturally did not erupt.
Even the British attempted to use the conflict between France and Japan and the Japanese were only half successful, and the two countries did not expand at all in the Far East.
After the forces of the two countries entered the Philippine Islands, the conflict between the Japanese and the Japanese broke out, which also blocked the Japanese's journey south. Unfortunately, this contradiction does not require them to die.
The French were unable to expand in the Far East because of their incompetence, while in Bulgaria, Ferdinand had no interest in the Far East.
The Japanese government was indeed ambitious, but they knew the current affairs. When they saw the three big men blocking the door, they immediately persuaded that even the navy rarely ran to the Nanyang area.
Next, the British were confused about the Japanese. Because of the problems in Southeast Asia, the biggest enemy of the British is Japan.
But Stanley Baldwin knew that he couldn't ignore the most powerful enemy because of Japan's problems?
If it is not hard, then come soft. Utilizing the arms limitation treaty and lowering the military power of each country at the same time is the best plan given by the aides and the only feasible plan!
London
At the headquarters of the League of Nations in the League of Nations, representatives of various countries have been arguing about disarmament issues, and almost all major countries have given different plans.
The Disarmament Commission is divided into two groups, including the Military Subcommittee and the Economic Subcommittee.
There are five main disarmament programmes:
I. The disarmament plan proposed by the French focuses on the review of peacetime and wartime armaments of various countries, and calls for a new definition of the nature of various armaments and the comparison of their military strengths.
2. The disarmament plan proposed by the Spaniards aims to maintain the balance of military forces in various countries and keep it unchanged.
3. The disarmament plan proposed by Bulgaria is based on the actual needs of each country, and at the same time takes into account the military strength balance of each country, and then disarms.
4. The disarmament plan proposed by the Japanese aims to balance military forces across continents and comprehensively evaluate factors such as combat effectiveness and actual needs for disarmament.
5. The disarmament plan proposed by the British aims to balance the army strength of the major powers and reduce the arms of all countries as much as possible.
There is no doubt that the disarmament programs of various countries are based on their own interests. For example, the Spanish disarmament program is purely for its own national security.
The British's disarmament plan is aimed at reducing the difference in the strength of the army between France and France. After all, there are also many colonies bordering each other.
Bulgaria's disarmament plan is to deal with mud, the main purpose is to delay time.
After all, Ferdinand's plan is equivalent to saying that everyone determines the size of the army according to their needs, but the needs of different countries are different? Then added another armament balance!
For example, if your neighbor ’s army needs 300,000, then he can keep 300,000, and your demand is only 200,000, but you can also maintain 300,000 troops because of the balance of arms.
This is almost to tell the British that it is not that we are too strong, but that you are too weak, and you expand the army to one or two million, and everyone's military strength is almost balanced.
The disarmament plan proposed by the Japanese government is the same as without. It is completely impossible. How can the military forces of Europe and Asia be balanced?
Think of Bulgaria as an Asian country?
What about balancing military forces with Oceania? Letting the Australians and New Zealands serve as soldiers and not enough to make up for the British?
The purpose is similar to that of Bulgaria. It is here to make troubles and not allow this disarmament conference to end successfully.
Except for some small foreign countries, the major powers have no intention of disarming. After all, the two countries are both land power countries. How can they abandon the army?
If, according to the British proposal, France can only retain 120,000 army, Bulgaria will only retain 140,000 army, isn't it self-defeating martial arts?
Regardless of other countries, Ferdinand cannot agree. This is a matter of principle and there is no possibility of compromise.
Conditions vary widely, and the Conference on Disarmament has reached an impasse at the outset.
Obviously, the Army cannot be cut down, so it can only be aimed at the Air Force and the Navy. The problems of the Air Force are not easy to solve. The key is the definition.
At present, the air forces of various countries are diverse. The navy has navy aviation and the army has army aviation. Are these people not counted?
If it doesn't, countries change their names and avoid the past. Even if they sign a disarmament treaty, it will only be a piece of paper in the end.
If everything counts, Bulgaria is going to fry. Nowadays, aircraft in the Bulgarian army have become ordinary vehicles like cars. The number of equipment is appalling.
How should this disarmament be disarmed? Are they not allowed to use it?
Fighters, transporters, and bombers of this era can often be mixed with civilian aircraft, but there is a gap in performance. In fact, civilian aircraft are used as bombers, just need to be modified.
The best thing to negotiate is the navy, and countries have already determined the proportions before, and have also laid off a large number of warships.
At this time, there is not much that can be reduced. The three countries of France and Japan have invariably targeted the British and demanded that the naval tonnage ratios of each country be readjusted.
Of course, John Niu could not agree. Originally, it was aimed at the disarmament conferences of the three countries. However, he did not expect to be opposed by the first army.
The military team can't go on here, and the economic team next door is struggling.
The debt problem of the former Russian Empire, now the nine governments have been noisy,
West Russia was the leader of the war alone, with an enemy of eight, and soon fell into a disadvantage.
However, this is the League of Nations, and whoever has the best eloquence and who has the ability to fight can win the final victory.
Under the unanimous request of many creditors, no one of the nine governments of this debt can run. In accordance with international common practice, the governments of the nine nations share the debt repayment obligations and pay joint and several liabilities for this debt.
Arms can't bear the thighs, and the League of Nations has made a decision. Whether they want to or not, they must accept it. During this period, the nine governments did not have the courage to fight the League of Nations alone.
Since it is necessary to pay back the money, then the specific amount is good. The representatives of the West and Russia proposed that the nine countries share the debt equally, which has been rejected by the other eight countries.
No one thinks this proposal is reliable. What would happen to a few small countries if the huge debt was shared equally?
Like the three Baltic countries, Finland, and Belarus, even if these five countries have sold all of them, they still can't afford one-nineth of their debt?
You know, the Russian Empire has more than two billion pounds of loans owed to banks alone, as well as bonds issued by the private sector, all of which add up to 3.58 billion pounds of debt to be processed this time.
Even if you want to settle accounts, no one dares to raise it at the League of Nations conference, everyone can only bear it.
"Wait a minute, before you deal with these debts, I suggest that you clear out the timing of these loans before you have a legal relationship with us.
If it was before the World War, the government's debts were legal debts, and we can consider taking part.
Since the outbreak of the World War, these money were owed by the tsarist government for its own ambitions, and we do not take responsibility for it! "The representative of the Soviet Union, Georgi Vasilyevich Zitcherin, said.
There is no doubt that most of the huge debt of the Russian Empire was owed after the outbreak of the World War, and a large part of it was owed in the Civil War.
Due to Ferdinand's butterfly effect, the Russians in this plane performed much better in the World War. They also had far more weapons and ammunition, and the cost of war far exceeded that in history.
These are all costs. Georgi Vasilyevich Zitchelin does not intend to admit the debt, mainly because there is too much money.
"Impossible! The Russian Empire is over. As their legal heirs, you have to bear all the debts. This is your obligation!" British Foreign Secretary Edley said directly.
"But these debts were all owed by the dictatorship of the Tsarist government for their own sake. It was against the will of the general public, and the public did not think he was wayward!" Georgi Vasilyevich Zice Lin argued
"Rights and obligations are equal. Now that you have inherited the legacy of the Russian Empire, you will naturally inherit their debts. If you refuse to fulfill the debts, the legitimacy of your government will also disappear!" French Foreign Minister Goss directly threatened
"But in fact, we were independent as early as 1917. As an independent country, we were not obliged to pay for the dictatorship of the Western Russian Empire!" Georgi Vasilyevich Zitchelin stepped back Said
"Mr. Vasilyevich, you were legally independent until 1927, and once again you all have to bear the debts!
This is the most basic international law. If you are unwilling to take on this debt, you can give up independence and assume it by a new responsible government! "Metev said coldly
If you want to settle accounts, stop dreaming, and don't look at who the creditors are!
There is no doubt that governments are much weaker than everyone thinks. Georgi Vasilyevich Zitchelin is difficult to sustain, and he has been threatened by fire.
If not for the fact that the strength of the Soviet Union is too weak and the Japanese are staring at them again, they still need the protection of the League of Nations. He would have erupted.
Bereavement and disgrace? This is not enough. Debt repayment is justified, everyone has not colonized the Russian Empire, and money is lent to their sole legal government.
At the time of independence, everyone used the heirs of the Russian Empire to obtain the recognition of the League of Nations, so they couldn't just get the benefits without paying the price?
"But this way of condoning a dictator, wantonly undermining world peace, and squeezing the vast Russian population, is this the action of the League of Nations?" Georgi Vasilyevich Zitchelin reconciled.
"Please note your words. If it were not for you traitors, how could the Russian Empire come to this point? How could the Tsarist government owe so much debt?
I am afraid that the war compensation alone is enough to pay off our previous debts, but now it is a slap, for the people?
If it was for the people, would you collude with the Germans? Will the Germans be brought to St. Petersburg? All this is caused by you today. Do you still want to avoid responsibility? Sasnovov, the representative of the Western Russian Empire, sneered
Regardless, the Russian Empire is a member of the Allies, and the Russian capitalists did collude with the Allies to sell the Tsarist government, which is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the Allies.
During the uprising, the revolutionaries were mingled with the capitalists ~ EbookFREE.me ~ If they have nothing to do with each other, can't they tell?
Although Vasilyevich was very angry, he was very wise not to quarrel with him on this issue, and it is precisely the members of the Allies who can make the decision here.
Once they arouse their dislike, treat them as the remnants of the ally, isn't it miserable?
"Well, stop this problem. All the debts of the Russian Empire must be inherited by your nine countries. Now let's discuss the distribution plan!
Any behavior that wants to evade debt will be severely punished by the League of Nations. Such a rogue government is not qualified to appear on the international stage! "Attlee interrupted strongly
The spirit of this kind of people is revitalized, and the crucial moment has come. Saying ten thousand is ten thousand, not just want to bear a little debt yourself, let the enemy bear more debt!
"We propose to distribute the debt that each country's government debt should bear by territorial area?" Sasonov sneered to propose
"This is impossible. As the culprit, the tsarist government should bear most of the responsibilities, at least 95% of the debt, and the rest will be shared by our countries!" Vasilyevich immediately opposed
How do you allocate by territory? The debts shared by the nine nations are even worse. If so, the new Soviet government would be forced to death by debt.
Now in Siberia, farming, digging and mining are all right, nothing else, just a little bit of output, and it is limited by bad traffic, it is difficult to transport out, where do they have money to pay their debts?
