Wild North America 1846

Chapter 846
Paris Peace Conference

French Prime Minister Clemenceau looked anxious, and in the closed-door meeting of the Big Three, he said sincerely to the British and Tang Prime Ministers;

"Dear allies

Now the opportunity to overthrow the dangerous Tsarist Russian regime in one fell swoop is right in front of us. We can easily do this with the help of the strong revenge mentality of Poland and Ukraine.

As long as we send excess weapons and equipment to Eastern Europe, we can defeat those mud-legged people.

Now three full divisions of the French army have set off and will enter the Black Sea through the Bosporus in late August. Everything is on the right track.

For the common good, France needs its allies to take action, now..."

Lord Hu Yongtang pondered without speaking, but turned to look at British Prime Minister George sitting next to him, obviously waiting for his decision.

In today's British cabinet, War Secretary Churchill is a typical hardliner, while Prime Minister George and Finance Minister Chamberlain are conservatives and are not active in armed intervention in Tsarist Russia.

Sure enough, British Prime Minister George frowned and hesitated before saying, "Gentlemen, we are now facing a lot of post-war problems. Do we want to create more trouble? This is not wise."

His answer did not suit the appetite of French Prime Minister Clemenceau. After a moment of silence, Clemenceau's face became particularly gloomy.

After World War I, the French still owed the British 6.8 million pounds, and they could not tolerate the new Tsarist Russian government's debt of more than one billion pounds.

Moreover, the new government of Tsarist Russia announced

Immediately confiscate enterprises and fixed assets held by foreign governments and capitalists in the country without any compensation.

This made the French government and capitalists even worse, because almost all the telegraph companies, railways, mines and factories they invested and operated in Tsarist Russia were in ruins, without even a splash of water.

Clemenceau knocked on the table with his hand and said in an emphatic tone to Prime Minister George;

“I would like to remind you that the Honorable Prime Minister, His Excellency George;

There is no need to bury your head in the soil. Now Soviet Russia is a huge threat to the entire Western world, which has already affected Hungary and Spain.

If decisive measures are not taken to stop it, it will soon spread like a plague, and this will be a huge disaster for the entire Europe.

Neither Poland nor Ukraine are absolutely reliable firewalls.

There is no better time than now to eliminate the source of the threat.

Britain cannot always expect to receive sincere help from its allies when needed.It is completely irresponsible to appear careless on other issues. "

Although not explicitly stated, the significance of the French threat is self-evident.

The subtext is that Britain should step forward but should not. So when France needs cooperation in the future, please forgive France for its inability to do so.

"Okay, but as we said before, the multinational armed intervention force cannot exceed 15 divisions. We can provide excess weapons and equipment to the Poles." Prime Minister George had no choice but to take a step back and said.

Prime Minister Clemenceau looked at Hu Yongtang, Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty. Lord Hu Yongtang thought for a moment, nodded and replied, "The expeditionary force can dispatch 5 divisions, but they will not charge on the first line."

"No problem, we have enough cannon fodder. The French are responsible for organizing some German and Austrian troops stranded in Ukraine, as well as the Poles. They need allies to provide ammunition and supplies." Prime Minister Clemenceau said happily. With a snap of his fingers, his mood suddenly lifted, and he said;
“I hope that the coalition forces will be ready by the end of August to attack from Minsk and Kiev at the same time, giving those Soviet and Russian thugs a taste of their power.

It is hoped that the Tang State can dispatch no less than two armored divisions and some artillery units to provide powerful assault force and artillery support.

There are also two Tsarist Russian princesses in your hands. At least one of them should stand up and shoulder the responsibilities of the Romanov dynasty and reorganize the scattered White Russian rebels.

For a common cause, we need the natural appeal of the Russian princess. "

Hu Yongtang, Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, agreed without much hesitation. This was a move that had been prepared for a long time.

The marriage between the Tang royal family and Tsarist Russia has also gone through several changes. Princesses Olga and Tatiana of the Tsarist Russian royal family originally planned to marry the second and third sons of the Tang emperor respectively.

As a result, the Tsarist Russian royal family was destroyed early. After the two princesses took over the Tang Dynasty, the marriage went through several twists and turns, and finally it was settled.

The second and third sons of the Tang Dynasty are definitely in trouble. These two princes are the second and third heirs to the throne of the Tang Empire respectively. How could they be willing to marry a ghost woman?
After multiple choices

Finally, a marquis with royal bloodline from the Tang Dynasty married the eldest princess Olga, and the second princess Tatiana married the second son of the King of Kentucky, finally completing the marriage.

There is no way, a phoenix that lands on the ground is not as good as a chicken.

Living under the roof of the Tang Empire, their parents and sisters had all been ruthlessly murdered by Soviet Russia. Princesses Olga and Tatiana, who had no honorable status, could only accept the reality with tears.

End of May 1919
Princess Olga arrived at the port of Vladivostok under the escort of the Tang Empire's North Sea Squadron and a heavily armed infantry division, returning to her homeland after nearly two years of absence.

The Army Ministry of the Tang Empire established two cold area mechanized infantry divisions with the Beihai Province garrison as the core, each with approximately 1.7 troops, and a total strength of 3.4.

As the main force of the Tang Empire's armed intervention in the Far East, these two divisions were equipped with Gray Wolf light tanks, armored trucks and various types of field artillery, and had extremely strong cross-country assault capabilities.

The main force of multinational armed intervention in Tsarist Russia is in Europe. One is the northern route dominated by Polish troops, which advances from Lithuania to Moscow through Minsk, the capital of Belarus, with a total strength of about 27 to 28 troops.

The other south route is the multinational intervention force led by Tang France and Britain, which will advance eastward from Kiev and will meet up with the main forces of the Belarusian army along the way, aiming directly at Moscow.

The total force along this route is about 16.5, with the main force being the two light armored divisions of the Tang Empire. This is a powerful weapon against cavalry and group infantry.

Since early September

The multinational intervention troops, totaling approximately 44.5 people, were divided into two groups and thrust straight into the east like two iron pincers, fighting smoothly along the way.

The Polish army captured Bobruisk near the Berezina River and controlled the area from the Desna River to Daugavpils. The progress was quite smooth.

The multinational coalition forces were equally unstoppable and united with some Belarusian bandits to advance towards Moscow. The two sides launched a fierce battle on the outskirts of Moscow.

Heavy snow fell from autumn to winter, and the severe cold weather forced both sides to stop fighting in the field, temporarily disengage, and retreat to towns to rest and recuperate to avoid widespread frostbite in the army.

Tsarist Russia won a rare respite and hurriedly reorganized its army, regained its strength, and prepared for a bloody battle with the intervention forces of various countries under the city of Moscow.

at the same time
Tsarist Russia privately conducted several unsuccessful peace negotiations with Poland. The other party's conditions impressed Polish leader Piłsudski and slowed down the offensive in the north.

Everyone can make small calculations, in the eyes of the Poles;

After all, the new government of Tsarist Russia recognized Poland's independent status, but the Belarusian army, adhering to the arrogance of the old Tsarist period, always refused to recognize Poland as an official country.

From this perspective
The Polish people shed their blood and sacrificed their lives to completely overthrow the new Tsarist Russian regime. This is tantamount to making wedding clothes for the Belarusian army. Doesn’t it support a regime that is hostile to Poland?
If the White Russian army wins and takes over the Tsarist Russian government, Poland will only be able to obtain the "ethnic border" (Curzon Line) in the east.

The current new government of Tsarist Russia has been very generous and proposed to Poland that the Minsk, Zhitomir and Khmelnytsky regions should be added to Poland.

The Polish military believed that this proposal was better than what they originally asked for, and it was inevitable that they would be moved.

This was Tsarist Russia's original move against the Germans. They would rather sign the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, which was humiliating and humiliating the country, than withdraw from the war.
In this treaty, Tsarist Russia ceded a total of 323 million square kilometers of territory and paid an indemnity of 60 billion marks.Not only will it give up Poland, the three Baltic countries, Belarus and Ukraine, but it will also give up large areas of territory to Turkey.

The compensation of 60 billion marks is equivalent to emptying Russia's entire wealth. Signing this peace treaty is equivalent to losing all the capital accumulated by Tsarist Russia in the past hundreds of years.

When Germany was defeated in the First World War, Tsarist Russia immediately overturned the previously signed Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, announced that it would take back all its lost territorial rights, and would no longer fulfill its war compensation obligations.

This trick was used again to deal with the Poles.

Not only that
The new Tsarist Russian government also frequently contacted the embassies of the Tang Empire abroad, promising to recognize the new Ukrainian regime and the cession of Odessa, Kerch and Crimea to the Tang Empire.They are even willing to give away the Krasnodar region of about 31 square kilometers.

A famous city in the Krasnodar region is Sochi, a picturesque coastal area located just east of the Crimean Peninsula.

It is also a tempting gift. It depends on whether the empire will accept it or not.

A discerning person can see

The new government of Tsarist Russia is using a delaying strategy in order to survive the current life-and-death crisis, even if it involves a substantial transfer of sovereignty.Chang'an in North America

Daming Palace

The three main halls of the magnificent Daming Palace and the surrounding ancillary palaces have now completed the mission given by history. They were donated to the Royal Charity Fund by the royal family of the Tang Dynasty and repurposed as the Daming Palace Royal Museum.

The Daming Palace Royal Museum displays countless rare treasures and is now the largest museum in the Tang Empire.

This former forbidden palace can now be visited by civilians, but they have to purchase a 1 yuan ticket, which is used as part of the funds to maintain the daily operation of the Royal Museum.

The vast Longevity Hill has been designated as the Royal Longevity Hill Forest Park and is also under the Royal Charity Foundation.

This has become a good place for leisure and vacation for the people of Chang'an, the imperial capital. Often, families with more than a dozen families, including their children, come to Wanshou Mountain Forest Park to explore the wonders and admire the majesty of the royal family.

There are not only rare ligers, tigers, bears, and leopards, but also a variety of animals such as peacocks, rhinos, and giraffes. There are also amusement parks and food streets, which are very suitable for family travel.

Wanshoushan Forest Park covers a large area and has newly installed many seats, verandahs, verandas, trash cans, toilets and other facilities for civilian tourists to visit.

Many families spend the entire day playing here, quite enjoying themselves.

Today, the Holy Emperor Taizu Richard still lives in Jinwanzhong of the East Palace. Most of the queens and concubines in the harem have withered or live in the deep palace to take care of their old age. The princes and grandchildren are all enfeoffed in various places. The huge East Palace is enough to live in.

The West Palace across from the Taiye Pond was mostly vacant in the past, but now part of it is allocated to the Royal Household Office and the headquarters of the Eight Royal Funds, as well as a series of institutions such as the Imperial Ancestral Hall, the Imperial Temple, and the Royal Charity Fund, demonstrating its distinguished status.

A series of pavilions and pavilions to the north of Taiye Pond belong to the royal forbidden area, with a total of 72 treasure pavilions, curio pavilions, and library pavilions, and many large underground constant-temperature caves have been excavated.

The treasures, antiques and cultural relics of historical significance from all over the world are stored in the secret vault. They are countless and filled with large and small warehouses.

The Tang Empire had plenty of money and continued to collect rare treasures from all over the world.

Today, there are dozens of large royal and national museums in the empire. Many collections are donated by the royal family, and this part accounts for less than 1/10 of the total collection.

winter to spring
In the blink of an eye, it was already the spring of 1920, and it was the season of blooming flowers. Waves of cool wind containing water vapor blew from the Pacific Ocean, and the trees sprouted their buds.

Richard was walking by the Taiye Pond with his hands behind his hands. He could see the beautiful scenery of the strange rocks on the shore of the lake. The Pudu Tower on the island in the lake was majestic, and the reflection in the lake reflected the shimmering light.

stopped

Taking a deep breath of the cool air with the fragrance of vegetation, Richard felt refreshed both physically and mentally, and his mood was extremely sunny.

There has been a lot of good news from the imperial government recently, and there are a few that deserve attention.

Article 1 is in the six provinces of the Arabian Peninsula, where the Chinese population has accounted for 79.62% of the total local population, and this proportion is still rising rapidly.

The tribal population on the Arabian Peninsula was originally small, mainly concentrated in the Mediterranean region. Nowadays, large-scale recruitment of young Arabs to fight in Europe is tantamount to digging up the roots of social inheritance.

When the older generations died one after another, Arab women married to Chinese raised their children, and the new generation received a complete Chinese education and grew up, the area became stable.

The unremitting import of Chinese immigrants to the area is the most commendable thing.

Article 2 is the discovery of oil fields in the coastal area of ​​​​Kuwait. With the Tang Empire’s advanced petrochemical smelting technology that is unique in the world, this is undoubtedly another cornucopia, and it is closer to Europe.

The third article is the establishment of the Far Eastern Kingdom. Olga, the former chief of the Romanov dynasty, ascended the throne as queen, calling on all royalist Belarusian troops to unite under the queen and fight to restore the glory of the former dynasty.

In fact, this was a puppet controlled by the Tang Empire.

Article 4 is the successful completion of the decommissioning and rehabilitation work of the Datang Empire Expeditionary Force last year, with a total of more than 144 million retired officers and soldiers, including about 83 people (including cannon fodder troops) resettled in France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Italy. .

A total of more than 61 retired officers and soldiers have been resettled in eastern and southern Ukraine and the Crimean Peninsula, all of which have been integrated into the military reclamation system.

More than 50 troops have been transferred to Ukraine, and about half of them will retire this year.

More than 10,000 officers and soldiers who went to Europe for the expedition are returning home one after another. Some of them are responsible for garrison duty in the defeated countries and will not be able to return in a short time.

From the current point of view, the entire retirement work has not caused any major troubles, which is a great achievement.

Article 5: The Poles were unwilling to attack Moscow, and even the French pressure was ineffective. This virtually saved the new Tsarist Russian government in crisis.

From August

The Poles have gradually withdrawn to the border of Belarus, taking Belarus as their spoils of war and occupying it openly.

French Prime Minister Clemenceau was furious and called Poland a "despicable and shameless villain", "Europeans' dirty foot wraps" and "a bunch of white-eyed wolves".

But scolding and scolding still cannot change the reality of the Polish army's sabotage.

The two-front offensive in the north and south became a one-man show. The multinational intervention forces on the southern front totaled 16.2 people. After leaving some garrison troops in the occupied towns and cities along the way, only more than 9.5 people arrived at the front line in Moscow.

After joining several groups of White Russian troops such as Kolchak, the total number increased to 42, and they had considerable weapons advantages.

It launched a series of bloody battles with the new Tsarist Russian government troops outside the city of Moscow, but suffered repeated setbacks.

After suffering heavy losses last winter, the new Tsarist Russian government troops quickly replenished their ranks with fresh blood and concentrated about 150 million people under the city walls of Moscow.

Due to the retreat of the Poles, the new Tsarist Russian government had the opportunity to concentrate its forces against the multinational coalition forces on the southern front, forming a trend of using more to fight fewer, and the battle was extremely difficult.

to mid-March

After suffering heavy losses one after another, the multinational intervention forces and the Belarusian army lost the vigor to attack and had to retreat to rest and recuperate.

At this point, the new government of Tsarist Russia has survived the most dangerous major crisis since its birth.

Privately, the Tang Empire government has basically reached an agreement with the new Tsarist Russian government. The two sides will sign a peace treaty in Odessa to end the current state of war.

according to the agreed terms

In the Treaty of Odessa, Tsarist Russia promised to recognize the new Ukrainian regime and cede the territorial sovereignty of Odessa, Kerch and Crimea to the Tang Empire.

The two sides agreed to disengage their armies, and the Tang Empire would cease armed intervention against Russia in Europe and commit to restoring regional peace.

As for Tsarist Russia's willingness to give away about 31 square kilometers of the Krasnodar region, the Tang Empire declined the offer.

Don't even think about taking a bite of this poisonous fat, you will definitely pay a heavy price.

Before the time is ripe, the two sides have maintained a tacit understanding for the time being and have not yet formally signed the Treaty of Odessa.

The formal signing ceremony will not be performed until the multinational coalition forces withdraw.

Today, the Tang Empire has more than 50 soldiers in Ukraine, and more than 70 recently retired soldiers. It can be said to be unprecedentedly powerful.

As long as the new Tsarist Russian government still has some sense, it will never provoke such a powerful enemy.

Richard took a deep breath of the cold air by the lake, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

The Tang Imperial government responded quite appropriately and maturely, and got what it wanted, which was the Treaty of Odessa. This operation can be scored 9 points.

From now on, the territorial sovereignty disputes that may arise from the cession of eastern and southern Ukraine and Crimea can be eliminated.

With the defeat treaty signed by Germany and the "Treaty of Odessa" in hand, the Tang Empire had enough confidence to not worry about the Russian old man turning his back and denying his credit.

Because the Tang Empire not only has a few people in Europe, but also has a huge empire of 2.4 million and strong military support behind it.
