On March 21, 1919, not long after the Temple Street incident was resolved, the "Summit" was held in Nanjing!
These four countries are China, the United States, France, and the United Kingdom.
Since the letters of the four countries are c, a, f, and e, together they form "caf"
"e" means "Coffee Hall" in English, so the Four Nations Summit is also called the "Coffee Hall Meeting".
Attending the first "Four Nations Summit" were Wang Qinglu, Prime Minister of the Republic of China, Klein, the United States Minister to the Republic of China, Sir Aston, the British Minister to the Republic of China, and Bob, the French Minister to the Republic of China.
In the "Four Nations Summit", the first topic discussed was the issue of China sending troops to Russia.
Previously, the Northeastern Army of China had entered Russia under the leadership of the Army Commander Zhang Zuolin, but there was no substantial battle with the Soviet Red Army.
At this time, the White Guards were already in a very difficult situation.
The United States, Britain and France require [China] to immediately launch necessary military operations, and the three countries will fulfill their previous agreement with Wang Hengyue, President of the Republic of China, and provide all weapons and supplies [China] needs.
On behalf of the [Chinese] government, Wang Qinglu solemnly promised that from the end of March to mid-April, the [Chinese] Northeast Army will conduct one or two large-scale military operations, and will mobilize more than 100,000 troops to enter Russia in April.
!
In China's military plans and judgments, it is unrealistic to completely eliminate Soviet Russia in a short period of time. The top priority is to stabilize the White Guards, repel the Soviet Red Army's attack, and maintain the battle line as envisioned
within distance.
For this reason, [China] not only requires Europe and the United States to fulfill their promises as soon as possible and provide supplies to [China], but also requires a serious warning to the White Guards at this summit to prevent the recurrence of "Naspetnov" on Temple Street.
"Event!"
In addition, [Japan] must strictly ensure that it no longer wants to provoke the [Chinese] military as a "friendly force", otherwise it will not hesitate to do so when the [Chinese] military encounters this situation again.
Fight back!
In order to ensure the smooth implementation of this point, Wang Qinglu suggested that the four countries select personnel to set up an "observation team" to closely monitor battlefield trends and mediate conflicts between friendly forces to avoid friction!
This proposal was completely in line with the interests of Europe and the United States, so the four countries reached an agreement without much bargaining.
On the 22nd, the four countries issued the first four-country joint statement of the "Coffee Reconference".
In the statement, the four countries solemnly warned all the White Guards that the intervention forces are sacred and inviolable. While the intervention forces are fighting in Russia, the White Guards must not provoke friction or create trouble under any circumstances or excuses. The White Guards must remain in control of Israel and China.
Under the unified command of the main combat troops, fight bravely and fight to the end for your Russia!
The issuance of this statement made the White Guards feel uncomfortable. Fighting on their own land, they were commanded and criticized by the armed forces of other countries.
However, given the current situation of the White Guards, they cannot do without any of the four countries.
As a member of the intervention army, Japan feels even more sour. Japan is also an intervention army, and Japan believes that it has a strong influence in the Far East. However, as Japan
With the end of China's civil war, its influence is beginning to spread, and Japan is beginning to feel that its position is being replaced by China.
But what can be done?
The powerful president of China, in addition to continuing to adopt tough measures in dealing with Japan, has adopted extremely flexible methods in dealing with European and American powers.
After the end of the European War, he took advantage of the serious dissatisfaction of the United States, Britain and France with Japan's excessive expansion in China, and successfully mobilized a sharp change in the attitude of the United States, Britain and France towards Japan, allowing the three countries to stand on the side of Japan.
Japan's opposition quickly reversed the passivity of China's diplomacy at the Paris Peace Conference during the Beiyang Government era.
The great president of China is so good at taking the most appropriate measures at the most appropriate times!
While Japan is feeling sour, the "Four Nations Summit" is still going on.
The four countries also discussed the situation in the Far East.
Wang Qinglu, the representative of [China], stated that [China] will fully respect the interests of the three countries in the Far East, and also expressed the intention of [China] to exert an important influence in the Far East.
The Three Kingdoms welcome this with both hands!
They have long regarded Wang Hengyue as their spokesperson in [China]. It would be the best thing if they could rely on the power of [China] and use [China] to ensure their interests in the Far East.
This "Four-Nation Summit" lasted for three days in total. The four countries reached an agreement on various issues, and agreed to hold a summit from March to April every year, and gradually upgraded the summit specifications.
An alliance has been formed.
Although this alliance is based on mutual interests and is not that strong. Once the interests of the country are involved in the future, this alliance is likely to collapse quickly. However, under the current situation, the establishment of this alliance still meets the needs of both parties.
of.
On the last day of the summit, Wang Hengyue, the President of the Republic of China, suddenly appeared in the meeting.
The sudden appearance of the president even surprised the Prime Minister Wang Qinglu.
There was applause at the meeting. Wang Hengyue smiled and asked everyone to sit down: "Ministers, I am here today to convey a signal. I hope that I, the President of the United States, will appear at the next summit.
The British Prime Minister and the French President. I hope that the standards of the summit can be improved to the greatest extent! The four-nation summit is not only related to the interests of the Far East, but also, from another level, is related to the distribution of the world pattern."
This point was quickly approved by the ministers. American Minister Klein said: "I completely agree with what the President said. The interests of the Far East are valued by everyone and need to be safeguarded by everyone. The same is true for the new world pattern. And in
In the Far East, we believe that [China] will increasingly exert its influence, and the President will have a clear responsibility for this."
"I will." Wang Hengyue said very seriously: "We issued a statement the day after the summit, which solidified the friendship between us. Regarding the situation in Russia, I can report another good news to you. In
Based on our original plan to send troops, after discussions between the Army Ministry and the General Staff Headquarters, we decided to add an additional 50,000 troops and 100 aircraft!"
After a brief moment of astonishment, applause soon began.
"I believe that with the full force of China, those red elements in Russia will soon gain control of the country," Sir Eston said easily.
Wang Hengyue said seriously: "We must not be careless about the situation in Russia. Although the Soviet Red Army has low equipment, it has great development power and potential that can be tapped. What I can be sure of is that the war in Russia will
It will be very difficult. I have already made the worst plan, which is to let the White Guards and Soviet Russia occupy one side and form a confrontation, and then look for the right opportunity to attack Soviet Russia."
The ministers of the Three Kingdoms listened, pondering and nodded slightly.
Considering the current situation in Russia, this is already a very optimistic estimate.
The only thing that can be expected for the situation in Russia now is that the Chinese army can quickly achieve one or two major victories, stabilize the situation in Russia, and at the same time look for opportunities to annihilate the Soviet Red Army!
But this is easy to say, but very difficult to do.
"My State [Prime Minister] has submitted a list to you." Wang Hengyue pointed to his State [Prime Minister] Wang Qinglu: "I hope that the supplies I need on this list will be available by the end of June.
Previously handed over to [China], this will play a very important role in resolving the situation in Russia, so after the meeting, I ask all ministers to inform their governments immediately."
"We will." The three ministers replied in unison.
Wang Hengyue nodded: "Of course, what needs to be solved is the land issue left over from the time of the Tsar. This is what the Chinese people are thinking about. I have also taken a lot of pressure for this."
The envoys from the three countries laughed at the same time.
If a country sends troops in vain without giving it any benefits, no one will do it.
In fact, after China agreed to send troops, the three countries quickly judged that this powerful president was likely to take this opportunity to regain the territory of China that had been occupied by Russia in history.
But now his words have only confirmed the speculations of various countries!
This great president will never give up until he takes advantage.
In fact, the ministers of the three countries did not know that the president's idea was far more than that.
In Wang Hengyue's view, Russia is far more dangerous than Japan and poses a greater threat to China. A unified Russia can threaten its own country anytime and anywhere.
Therefore, it must be resolutely weakened and dismantled during the Russian Civil War.
Wang Hengyue neither wanted to see the Soviet Red Army win, nor did he want to see the White Guard win. The best result was to let them continue the civil war and chaos.
Before that, assisting the White Guards in defeating the Soviet Red Army's attack is the first step!
"There is another good news." Wang Hengyue said with a smile: "Before coming here, I have officially accepted the invitation of Mr. Woodrow Wilson, the President of the United States, and will pay an official visit to the United States in July."
It was another sudden news. American Minister Klein was the first to react. He said with a smile on his face: "As an American, especially as an American minister, I sincerely welcome the President's visit to the United States, and
I hope this visit will be a great success!”
Thanks."
The British and French ministers had other thoughts in their minds. China and the United States were already closer, and now the visit of the President of China to the United States will make the relationship between the two countries even closer.
It seems that the United Kingdom and France were the first to gain access to a new platform at this point.
However, there is still a chance to remedy the situation!
When the President visits the United States, he can also visit the United Kingdom and France!!.
