The United Nations Conference of Seventeen Nations held in Berlin, Germany, looks like countries are working together to solve the current thorny issues in various regions, but it is still the dominant country that has the absolute say, and in the Far East, both of them
The object to be attracted.
But Li Ningyu didn't seem to be particularly interested in this meeting, because he didn't like this kind of thing. It seemed too hypocritical and too insignificant to put the carving up in a high-sounding meeting.
But he still wanted to give face to the sponsors of this meeting, Edward VII and William II, so he just sat in his seat and thought about things in the Far East.
The current Second War in the Balkans has reached a point where no party wants to continue fighting. The war between the Balkan Alliance and the Ottoman Empire has now transformed into a war to carve up the Balkans. The first armistice was the Ottoman Empire's request to the European powers.
The Ottoman Empire and the four warring countries are beginning a new round of peace negotiations under the mediation of European powers.
In fact, after the First Balkan War, the victorious countries had some disputes over how to distribute the land acquired from the Ottoman Empire. Bulgaria was the most dissatisfied among them. Germany and Austria-Hungary also took advantage of the internal conflicts in the Balkan Alliance to divide the lands occupied by the Ottoman Empire.
The contradictions caused by disparity strongly instigated Bulgaria against other allies.
Therefore, the outbreak of the Second Balkan War was mainly instigated by William II. However, after the Bulgarian army suffered repeated setbacks and retreated across the board, it was finally forced to sue for peace.
According to the First Balkan Armistice Agreement, all the original European territories of the Ottoman Empire, except Albania and Crete, were ceded to the four countries of the Balkan League. At the same time, Albania declared independence, but it must be protected by Tsarist Russia, Britain, Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy.
Under the joint supervision of France, the islands in the Aegean Sea were divided between Germany, Austria-Hungary, the United Kingdom, and Tsarist Russia.
At the beginning of the meeting, Serbia, Greece, and Bulgaria proposed that the three parties divide the Macedonian region. Serbia mainly wanted to get the Macedonian region, whose land area would increase the population by more than one million. Greece mainly wanted to get the Aegean Macedonian region, which included Serbia.
Thessaloniki and southern Macedonia, as well as western Thrace and Crete, so that their total population will increase from more than 2 million to more than 4 million.
The defeated country Bulgaria could only get Pirin Macedonia, which had a population of more than 100,000. In this war, Bulgaria completely lost most of the land it had gained in the first Balkan War, as well as part of its original land.
, most of Thrace was ceded to Greece, southern Dobroga was ceded to Romania, Montenegro was also given a small amount of territory, and Romania got northern Dobroga and was able to access the Black Sea.
If a peace treaty is signed based on such terms between the parties, the situation in the Balkans will change dramatically.
After the signing of this treaty, Bulgaria's strength will inevitably be greatly weakened. It is precisely because of its hatred of this treaty that Bulgaria will eventually join the Allies in World War I. As for Serbia, because it received a large amount of land and population
, ultimately leading to a greatly enhanced strength.
However, the Austro-Hungarian Empire had always been unwilling to see Serbia become stronger, so after joining forces with Germany, it raised different opinions on the content of this treaty.
The United Kingdom and France were very happy to see this situation. As the sound of quarrels continued, Li Ningyu couldn't help but frown.
Li Ningyu and the Far East Group he leads do not want to get involved in matters in the Balkans, because there is a pool of muddy water there, and anyone who messes with it will get into trouble.
In the end, it was precisely because of this clause that it affected the expansion of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the Balkan Peninsula, which greatly deepened the conflict between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Serbia. The Tsarist Empire also used this as an excuse to intervene in the affairs of Serbia in the Balkan Peninsula.
, ultimately leading to the deepening and intensification of the conflict between Austria-Hungary and Serbia, and accelerating the outbreak of World War I.
The outbreak of the First World War, from the perspective of Li Ningyu's conscience, he did not want it to happen, but the wheel of history cannot be changed by Li Ningyu alone, so from the perspective of the Far East Group's future strategy, first
The outbreak of World War II was conducive to the reshuffling of the major forces in the world.
Li Ningyu was very much looking forward to this. However, according to the current pace, the early outbreak of World War I would not be of any benefit to the Far East. In addition, William II on the side was winking at him, so Li Ningyu had to pay attention.
Clear your throat and begin to express your attitude.
"Hello fellow representatives, I am honored to sit here today and discuss with representatives from various countries on issues that everyone is very concerned about. However, before I express my opinions, I still have two digressions to say. There is an old saying in China.
Peace is precious, so war is not the only way to solve problems, so we are sitting here today to discuss some difficult issues together!"
"Everyone knows that war is an uncivilized act of collective and organized use of violence against each other, mainly because the two sides engage in armed combat in the face of irresolvable political, economic, territorial and other conflicts, but the triggering of the war
They are often politicians rather than soldiers, so war is also regarded as an extreme means of politics and diplomacy!"
"I, Li Ningyu, was born as a professional soldier, and I am also a politician. It can be said that the number of enemies who were directly killed by me was not even a thousand, but also eight hundred. This can never be changed, but humans are not the only ones who have wars. Animals
They also have their own acts of war, but war is the highest manifestation of conflict, the highest and most violent means of resolving disputes, and one of the fastest and most effective solutions!"
"But it can also be interpreted as using violent means to maintain order and destroy and rebuild!"
"Through war after war, everyone has seen the various benefits brought by war. However, according to statistics, behind every war is huge military spending, and hundreds of millions of resources have been consumed invisibly. This war in the Balkans has
Sixty-seven countries and regions participated in the war, and the number of people involved in the war was as high as 30 million. The casualties on both sides on the battlefield were more than 1.2 million, and more than 10 million people were displaced. However, at the end of the war, there was still no complete victory. So
It is said that war is a disaster for both parties. In the end, war will only displace more people. The disaster of war is incalculable!"
"So, after I thought about it for a long time, I think that before discussing how to deal with affairs in the Balkans, we should first set up a joint coordination body so that when disputes arise, we can negotiate first. If we can't fight anymore,
After such an organization is established, issues in the Balkans can also be voted on by a collective show of hands. What do you think?"
The representatives of the seventeen countries present, after understanding the full meaning of Li Ningyu's final expression, immediately began to lower their heads and whisper. Li Ningyu also breathed a long sigh of relief, but he was a little small at this time.
I have small expectations, because he threw out the prototype of the United Nations, and I don’t know if it will be possible to establish this organization in the end, but at least he has tried his best.
