Chapter 24 Paris Peace Conference

In November 1918, Germany will sign a ceasefire agreement with the five major countries of Britain, France, the United States, China and Japan on the 23rd of this month. This is the beginning of a spoils-sharing conference. The spoils-sharing conference scheduled for January 1919 will soon take office.

The Chinese Prime Minister went to Paris as China's plenipotentiary representative. The documents had been prepared in their case, and he was with General Guo Huai, the top deputy commander-in-chief of the Chinese SS.

Paris in 1919 was still in the harsh winter. The Paris Peace Conference in the Hall of Mirrors of Versailles had already begun, with more than a thousand people attending, of which 75 were plenipotentiary representatives, representing twenty-seven countries respectively. There were differences on the first day of the meeting.

"In this world war, Germany was in great sin. These executioners brought disaster to the world. Therefore, they had to make compensation. Within one month, the German territory west of the Rhine and the German territory 30 kilometers east of the Rhine were handed over to the coalition forces. Cruisers, combat ships, destroyers, submarines, 234 ships, all airplanes, 560 cannons and a large number of guns and ammunition. Germany handed over $316 in war compensation (German couldn't scoop so much, and then cut it again and again to become $71.4 billion). Germany would hand over the locomotives with good performance, 50,000 cars, and jammed vehicles." French Prime Minister Clemenceau swore to tell the punishment for Germany, and at the same time, the punishment for the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire were also one by one.

But everyone knows that when the meat comes out, the fight will begin.

"You French scoop, we Britain get 1% in Italy, and how about China 48?" British Prime Minister Lloyd George said tentatively to British Prime Minister Clemenceau.

"No, absolutely not! In this war, France suffered the greatest losses, and we should get 48%. Such distribution obviously did not meet the French's psychological requirements, so they opposed the British.

"It's too much, we don't agree." Zhang Xiaojun's face turned pale, but China's interests were cowardly, which was far lower than China's requirements. Moreover, according to the pre-war agreement, at least 60% of the warships needed to be delivered to China impermanently. In order to obtain these warships, China has paid too much materials as compensation. Now, the profit of this 48 can only ensure that China will not lose money.

"Then we don't agree." Clemenceau, who is 78 years old, is still as fierce as a wild beast, and is truly worthy of his nickname as "Tiger Prime Minister"... and Lloyd George also tangles in every way and does not sacrifice his own interests at all.

US President Wilson had to deal with Britain, France and China, busy smoothing out the situation: "We in the United States don't want a penny. All three countries sacrificed a little, so that other countries would also benefit France get 46% of Britain gets, and is it okay for China to get 88?"

Clemencer shouted sternly: "Yes. But the border between France and Germany is bounded by the Rhine: In addition to the return of Artsace-Lorraine to France, Germany's Saar District is also ours!" If France obtains the Saar District, it means that he controls the most important military and industrial zone in Europe and can dominate the European continent in the future.

"We don't agree..."

"We China also disagree! As a major exporter of population, I sent 2.3 million migrant workers to Europe in the late period of the war, and at the same time, a large number of materials were handed over to the Allies. Our country is an Asian country, and Europe's territory will not and do not need any point. Therefore, we do not care about how the European land is distributed, but our interests must be guaranteed. We require that our country get at least 1 bribe, and we must get eighty artillery and 150 large and medium-sized warships. At the same time, the German battleships, China has the right to accept part of the battleships of the King, the Crown Prince William, and the Border Governor. These three are the most advanced meaningless battleships in the world, and the four main battleships of the Election Emperor are the main battleships.

The 120 warships belong to our China. This is what our China exchanges for supplies and personnel. This matter cannot be distributed as post-war profits and countries. The other 5,000 locomotives are needed by China. The carriages only require 10,000 trucks. We do not need them. As for war reparations, we can reduce their share from 18% to 10%, but we must account for 18% of the compensation from the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire. This is what our China requires." Zhang Xiaojun said in a tough tone and listed the conditions on the list one by one. These battleships are what the empire needs most now. With these warships, it still has some advantages for the Japanese navy, so there is no need to continue to buy battleships from the United States.

However, such a request made Britain and France unable to agree.

"No! We can give in other aspects, but we don't agree with the issue of warships..." Japan, which had never spoken for a long time, immediately stood up to object at this time. If China had these warships, then Japan's situation would be even more difficult.

"We also disagree..." The British Prime Minister also spoke out, obviously all countries want to suppress China's expansion now, but because China deploys large troops on the border, all countries have also made some concessions.

But Zhang Xiaozhun would not bow his head and admit defeat, but said: "This is the benefit we China deserve. We must guarantee. At the same time, although we have ceased war with Japan, the state of war has not yet been lifted. The Japanese navy often invades our territorial waters these days, which makes us unbearable. Therefore, we refuse to talk to the Japanese! Also, please do not look at our Chinese Empire from your perspective. If any kuai p>dear who dares to harm our empire!
