Chapter 888: Washington Conference (20)
Although there was some commotion when the delegations were seated. But after a while, the whole venue was completely quiet.
Somewhat satisfied, the American walked up to the stage and coughed lightly.
"With the smooth conclusion of the first two meetings...", the American standing in front of the stage couldn't help but glance at the position of the Chinese delegation before continuing. This will be followed by a third, and extremely important, meeting, to ensure that the red color that is currently entrenched in Eastern Europe does not spread to other regions..."
Speaking of this, the American in front of the stage glanced at the others with a straight look. At the same time, after hearing such an issue, Li Liang, Gu Weijun and representatives of other countries in the audience also became serious.
For any country here, Soviet Russia, which is entrenched in Eastern Europe, can be said to be a very serious issue. The reason is as mentioned earlier, because in this world dominated by capitalism, there is no place for Soviet Russia at all.
Whether it is Britain, France, Germany, the United States, or Japan, they all have an attitude of disposing of Soviet Russia and then hurrying to dispose of it. After all, even if these countries lose the war, the enemy countries will only destroy them formally. In fact, the magnates of these countries will be recognized by the other side for their own rights, wealth and othersββββββ of course, it is almost inevitable that they will be extorted in chaos, but at least in most cases, the other side will never be wiped out.
The reason is simple. Because everyone is in a capitalist society, since it is a capitalist society, then in most cases money is still very useful. It's also useful. What's more, people with status or wealth usually have influence. If you really want to kill them all, it's hard to say what kind of impact it will have...
So in the vast majority of cases, instead of killing them all, it's better to find a way to get in touch with these people and then take 'cooperative' measures...
In this way, on the one hand, the benefits can be continuously obtained, and on the other hand, the measure can also be passed. Make sure that the place is stable.
However, Soviet Russia is different, and if it loses the struggle with Soviet Russia, then all of the above-mentioned countries will be ruined ββββββ roots.
And the magnates of these countries. It will also usher in ruin. Because in the tenets of Soviet Russia, they were a class that was absolutely to be wiped out. It can even be said that Soviet Russia will spare anyone, and it is impossible to let go of this group of people.
Then the problem arises, because in some of the current powers. Whether it's China, Japan, the United Kingdom, France, the United States, or other countries. Basically, it's this group of people who are in power. For example, Yan Shao himself is the largest capitalist in the world.
Similarly, no matter what Li Liang or Bu Zigao looked like before they followed Yan Shao, they can't escape the word 'powerful' now.
So as some powerful people, no matter how much Li Liang and Bu Zigao hated this word in the past, and how much they hated those powers who liked to bully China. Now, in order to protect their own interests, it is impossible for them not to hate Soviet Russia.
Because of the existence of Soviet Russia. It's not just about their lives.
If it weren't for the fact that the First World War had just ended, neither Britain, nor the United States, nor any other country would have been willing to fight it. At the same time, more than five million Soviet Russian troops. It is indeed a sense of powerlessness in countries such as Britain and the United States.
Therefore, after the failure of the war of intervention against the Soviet Union, Britain and the United States dispelled the idea of exterminating Soviet Russia, and instead formed an epidemic prevention circle in the surrounding areas of Soviet Russia to ensure that the dangerous ideas of Soviet Russia would not spread...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Of course, China's attitude is a bit more complicated than that of other countries.
On the one hand, Li Liang, Gu Weijun and Bu Zigao are indeed very hostile to Soviet Russia, after all, they are no longer the poor boys who were poor and had nothing in the past. As far as their stance is concerned, it can almost be said that they are inseparable from Soviet Russia, so whether they agree with the thinking of Soviet Russia or not, they can only adopt a hostile attitude towards Soviet Russia. But on the other hand, for the Nationalist government, the survival of Soviet Russia was a must...
As for the reason, it has been said many times before, in order to erect a target.
For this reason, the Nationalist government built a strong and long fortification on the Sino-Soviet border to defend against a possible Russian attack. On the one hand, they had private ties with Soviet Russia, and even risked the world's condemnation to make deals with Soviet Russia, providing Soviet Russia with something that other governments absolutely did not want and could never provide to Soviet Russia...
In any case, as one of the main participants in this meeting, the national government should be involved.
Of course, as a collaborator of Soviet Russia, it is really difficult to say how much strength the Nationalist government intends to exert in this matter...
"I believe that all of you here are very well aware of this..." Seeing that the delegations of all countries present here seem to be well aware of the seriousness of this incident, the representatives of the US Government seem to be very satisfied. Russia can be said to be the enemy of the whole world, and in order to prevent these red colors from spreading to other regions, we must be prepared as soon as possible to avoid this situation, which is the fundamental reason for convening this meeting..."
"Of course, if possible, we still hope to completely eliminate the existence of Soviet Russia, and we have done so, that is, in the recent Russian Civil War, countries sent troops into Russia to fight with the White Guards in Russia, but unfortunately the war failed, not only the White Guards were completely destroyed, but the intervening army had to withdraw from Russia..."
"I have to admit that the failure to completely eliminate Soviet Russia from this world is likely to be the biggest mistake of the international community in recent years. Because with the passage of time, Soviet Russia entrenched in Eastern Europe has become more and more powerful, especially according to the information we have obtained, it is very likely that the number of Soviet Russian troops has reached a staggering number of more than five million..."
"More than five million, although for the countries that have just experienced the First World War, this number is not particularly surprising, after all, the countries that mobilized millions of troops during the war, there are several in this war, if not comparable with Soviet Russia, at least it will not be too different, not to mention that in addition to these countries, there are even some countries present that have the ability to mobilize tens of millions of troops, and they are definitely stronger than Soviet Russia in terms of military strength, And it's definitely not comparable to the kind of army in Soviet Russia that can be regarded as soldiers with guns on their shoulders..."
When saying this, whether it was the host on the stage or the others in the venue, they couldn't help but turn their eyes to the direction of the Chinese delegation.
The reason is very simple, because among all the countries present, it seems that only China has the ability to mobilize tens of millions of troopsββββββ and it has nothing to do with China's current status.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
This era is different from later generations, due to a variety ββββββof reasons, so there is a need for a large number of technical arms and equipment, such as artillery, airplanes, tanks, automobiles, and warships, these are things that consume a lot of steel.
But in this day and age, things are more or less different.
Artillery aside, artillery in our era can be called the foundation of the foundation, but aircraft, tanks, and automobiles, these things that can be called basic in later generations can only be regarded as rare in this era.
The reason is also very simple, on the one hand, because of the technical difficulty, and on the other hand, because of the cost.
Of course, perhaps the biggest problem in terms of cost is the largest, after all, no matter who you are, you can't help but consider the word money when considering the problem of equipment. Even the richest Americans have to think about money when considering this issueββββββ of course, generally speaking, Americans will use a more subtle statement, that is...
Price!
Anyway, that's pretty much it.
With the continuous rise of the industrial strength of the national government, the national government has the ability to mobilize tens of millions of troops at a time. At the same time, with the wealth accumulated by the Nationalist government over the past few years, it also has the ability to expand a large number of troops in a short period of time.
Tens of millions of people...
You must know that the more than 5 million in Soviet Russia alone have already made other countries a little desperate, and even have a sense of despair that kills people to the point of softness.
And what about China's tens of millions? What's more, the so-called tens of millions are enough just because of the mobilization of these troops, and it is definitely not because the national government can only mobilize these...
As a country with a population of more than 500 million, the national government does not say that it has mobilized tens of millions, even if it has the ability to mobilize 20 or 30 millionββββββ of course, the problem of equipment will not be particularly easy to solve at that time, but there will always be a solution.
And it is precisely with such an exaggerated ability to explode troops that the Nationalist government can have an international status on a par with Britain and the United Statesββββββ there is no way, the human resources of the Nationalist government are too rich. It's even so rich that it can't be consumed no matter how much it consumes... (To be continued......)
