Chapter 1232 Closed-door meeting
The speech of Sultan Abdul Maijid I of the Ottoman Turkish Empire on stage made the representatives of the countries below drowsy. However, Abdul Maijid I seemed to have not discovered this at all, but became more and more excited as he spoke. Abdul Maijid I not only reviewed the glory of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, but also claimed that the Ottoman Turkish Empire would assume more important obligations in the future world.
The representatives of various countries in the audience were not interested in the speech of Abdul Maijid I. The representatives of the victorious countries were calculating how much benefits everyone would be able to get at this meeting. The defeated countries were worried about this. This meeting was essentially a meeting where the victorious countries were officially defeated and slaughtered the defeated countries and shared the victory cake. Of course, those neutral countries also hoped to establish a good relationship with these emerging strong people so that they could gain a favorable position in the new world order in the future.
Abdul Maijid I's speech lasted for more than an hour. As soon as his speech ended, he was responsible for presiding over Ali Pasha. He immediately announced that the peace meeting officially began.
The representatives of the major victorious countries also expressed their opinions one after another. There is only one theme, that is, to make a profound review of the last war, remember the lessons learned this time, and strive to avoid the outbreak of this war.
However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is simply nonsense. Although the last world war has just ended, the signs of a new world war have been revealed. The contradiction between the Chinese Empire and the Prussian Kingdom has been highlighted in the later stages of the war. It can be foreseen that the two countries will surely have increasingly conflicts in the future, and even detonate the next world war.
Many people estimate that the next world war may affect a wider range. At that time, many countries will be involved, and this will also lead to the entire world being trapped in war. However, since war is inevitable, everyone hopes to be on the side of the winner. No one wants to be a loser, so they hope to be able to keep their eyes open and hug the strong at this meeting.
The morning of the first morning of the meeting, there was no useful content, almost all of which were unnutritional. In fact, representatives of the defeated countries were forced to come to power for a profound review. You know, this is a real slap in the face! Originally, they had to pay a heavy loss in the war, and then they had to pay a heavy price to end the war. But now, they were slapped in the face, which shows how they would be in their mood. Originally, the Chinese Empire and the Prussian Kingdom did not advocate doing this. However, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, as the hosts, forcibly joined this issue. Both the Chinese Empire and the Prussian Kingdom wanted to win over the Ottoman Turkish Empire, so they could only let it go.
There is no doubt that this practice of the Ottoman Turkish Empire seriously aroused the anger of the defeated countries. Although people were under the roof, they had to bow their heads. They had no other way and could only endure this humiliation. However, deep in their hearts, they had already gritted their teeth in hatred by the Ottoman Turkish Empire and other countries of the Asia-European military alliance. If they had the opportunity, they would inevitably launch a counterattack.
At noon, it was a halal-style luncheon specially prepared by the Ottoman Turkish Sultan Abdul Maijid I for everyone. The various delicacies made the representatives of the victorious countries smile. The representatives of the defeated countries were like chewing wax. According to the agenda of the peace meeting, in the afternoon, representatives of several member states of the Asian-European military alliance will hold a closed-door meeting. Needless to think about it, at this meeting, the discussion was definitely about how to deal with the defeated countries of the North Atlantic Military Alliance. The butcher knife of the victorious countries was already raised high, and the next thing was that they slashed them hard and slaughtered pieces of fat on their bodies.
At 2 p.m., in a small conference room, representatives of the Chinese Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium, sat in the conference room in five directions.
In the Chinese Empire, the main participants were the Imperial Prime Minister Lin Zihao and the Foreign Minister Wei Yuan, and the Imperial Crown Prince Long Hua also attended the meeting. However, this time he mainly came with his eyes and ears. The Imperial Emperor Long Yufei specifically explained that he would say less, watch more, and listen more. This meeting was a good opportunity for him to understand the true diplomatic aspects of the world's major powers in diplomacy up close.
In the Kingdom of Prussia, the main participants were Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck, Foreign Minister Earl Albrech von Ron, Deputy Chief of General Staff Earl Mauch, Crown Prince Frederick William, and Crown Prince of the Empire, attended the meeting, just like the Crown Prince of the Empire, Longhua.
As the host, the Ottoman Turkish Empire sent chief Pasha Ali and Mustafa Lester Pasha, who was in charge of diplomacy, to attend the meeting. In addition, the 15-year-old prince of the Ottoman Turkish Empire also attended the meeting. However, compared with the imperial prince Longhua and Prussian crown prince Frederick William, the relatively young Mohamed Murad seemed much more immature.
The representatives of the Kingdom of Spain were the Duke of Prime Minister Valencia and the Earl of Foreign Minister José de Salamanca, and the representatives of the Kingdom of Belgium were Charles Rozer and the Foreign Minister Henry de Bruker.
Among the five victorious countries, the Chinese Empire, the Spanish Kingdom and the Belgium Kingdom are undoubtedly on the same front. The Prussian Kingdom and the Ottoman Turkish Empire also decided to unite on some issues. Of course, this does not mean that the two countries will unite to fight against the Chinese Empire. The reason they temporarily united was just to ensure their respective interests at the Peace Conference. After all, the Chinese Empire is too strong. If they do not unite, the entire Peace Conference will probably have the Chinese Empire to control the rhythm. At that time, the two countries will definitely suffer losses.
"Everyone, the peace meeting has begun. However, the main purpose of the peace meeting is to deal with the defeated countries and make them pay a heavy price for their actions. However, we have to come up with a charter to avoid too much disagreement, which will lead to the peace meeting being unable to end!" As the host and the host of this meeting, Ali Pasha first expressed his opinion.
"As early as the signing of the Alliance Treaty, it was stipulated that no country had the right to make peace with hostile countries without the consent of other allies. However, in dealing with the issue of Britain, the Chinese Empire first supported the Republic of Ireland and the Kingdom of Scotland, and signed a protection treaty with them, which undoubtedly violated the original covenant!" Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck said first.
At the beginning of the meeting, Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck attacked the Chinese Empire. The reason he did this was undoubtedly to condemn the Chinese Empire from a moral high point so that the Kingdom of Prussia could occupy a favorable position in the subsequent distribution of interests.
Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on the corner of Prince Frederick William, who attended the meeting. The reason for doing this was that they had already agreed before the meeting began.
Sure enough, under the accusation of Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck, the deputies of the Chinese delegation were not very good-looking.
"The reason why the Chinese Empire did this was entirely to accelerate the defeat of Britain. The Irish independence movement and the James Party contributed their own strength in the process of the empire's destruction of Britain, and the empire should give them rewards!" The empire's Prime Minister Lin Zihao said coldly.
"There is a war about the destruction of Britain, which has nothing to do with the Kingdom of Prussia. Therefore, it is better not to interfere in the Kingdom of Prussia when dealing with Britain!" Wei Yuan, the imperial foreign minister, said it even more directly.
When the British was destroyed, the Prussian Kingdom was unable to participate in the battle against Britain because of the intentional exclusion of the Chinese Empire. This made the Prussian Kingdom very annoyed and even more shameful. Now, the Chinese Empire has actually brought up the old story again, which has undoubtedly once again aroused the anger of the delegation of the Prussian Kingdom.
"The Kingdom of Prussia is not unwilling to contribute its own strength to the destruction of Britain. However, some countries rely on their strong naval strength to intentionally block the Kingdom of Prussia and prohibit the army of the Kingdom of Prussia from landing in Britain in order to achieve their goal of dominating Britain." Prussian Foreign Minister Albrech von Ron complained.
After all, Britain had accumulated wealth for hundreds of years, but the Kingdom of Prussia was very moved. Of course, they wanted to land in Britain and then seize the wealth. However, if the Chinese Empire did not allow the army of the Kingdom of Prussia to land in Britain, then they had no choice!
"The reason we do this is entirely to safeguard the interests of the alliance. Some countries with ulterior motives have already had sex with the British before the war has ended. They are trying to occupy a favorable position in the future international situation and even sell out the interests of the alliance. For this reason, the empire must take necessary measures!" The empire Prime Minister Lin Zihao said disdainfully.
"His Excellency Lin Zihao, you are slandering. The Kingdom of Prussia has never done anything harmful to the alliance!" Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck's face turned pale. The cooperation between the Kingdom of Prussia and Britain is aimed at the Chinese Empire, not the Asian-European military alliance.
"Everyone knows whether it is a slander. The British naval experts and engineers active in the Kingdom of Prussia, and even the British naval generals and sailors, have proved everything!" Although there is no definite evidence, can so many British people in the Kingdom of Prussia explain everything? (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
