The League of Nations was inherently deficient from the first day of its existence.
Russia and Germany were excluded from the League of Nations.
The United States will not participate.
As a member of the Commonwealth, Southern Africa has not even been a permanent member of the Security Council.
The League of Nations was completely reduced to a vassal of Britain and France, unable to fully play its role in major international affairs.
The same goes for the Disarmament Conference this time. In order to expand the Disarmament Conference and his own influence, Ramsay McDonald strongly invited the United States and Russia to participate. This also brought a new problem. The United States and Russia were not even members of the League of Nations.
No, will they really agree to disarmament for the sake of world peace?
There is a saying that the major powerful countries in the world, excluding India, the United States and Russia, are the only countries with a population of over 100 million.
For the same reason, population these days is the most complete reflection of a country's strength. No matter how high the national income is, it is nothing without a large enough population base. In this regard, we can refer to Switzerland. In 1929, the population of Switzerland was less than 4 million.
4 million people!
How about permanent neutrality in Switzerland? With such a small population, it would not even be enough to participate in a world war. Belgium still has 8 million people.
Southern Africa has now become a benchmark, providing a perfect answer to the economic crisis.
There are no ideological differences between Europe and Southern Africa. Just copy everything. Even Southern Africa is adding military orders in order to stimulate domestic demand. Other countries are following suit. Even the United Kingdom is adding military orders. In this context
When it comes to convening a disarmament conference, one can only say that Ramsay Macdonald has a unique skeleton.
Germany's withdrawal from the disarmament conference was also expected by Rock.
Prior to this, Germany had withdrawn from the League of Nations early on the pretext that the League of Nations did not fully protect German interests.
In this disarmament conference, France refused to disarmament on the grounds that France's security could not be fully guaranteed. France would only agree to disarmament unless Germany abolished its entire army.
Not to mention disarmament, Mustache itself suffers from having no excuse to break through the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles. Now France has given the reason to the door, and Germany has withdrawn from the Disarmament Conference, thus sounding the death knell of the Disarmament Conference.
Roque had no hope for the disarmament conference. The League of Nations had to talk about it, and the order from the federal government should be placed without delay.
Anyway, producing weapons is not expanding the army and does not conflict with the Conference on Disarmament.
On October 15, the Disarmament Conference broke out for the first time in its history.
Ramsay Macdonald blamed France's still-implemented universal military service for making Germans anxious and ultimately leading Germany to withdraw from the disarmament conference. If France had not been so aggressive, perhaps the Germans would not have withdrawn.
Poengale dismissed the words of Ramsay Macdonald. When Poengale led France to victory in the First World War, Ramsay Macdonald was not even a member of the British Parliament.
Calais believed that Macdonald's words were disrespectful to France and also disrespectful to his predecessor.
We can't blame France for being stubborn.
A very strange fact is that since the end of the world war, the British and American governments have led many times of disarmament, from the Washington Naval Conference to the London Naval Conference. The logic is that unless the victorious country disarms itself first, there will be no moral disarmament.
Reasons for requiring the defeated country to disarm.
France maintained a large standing army for the reason of protecting itself. This actually became the reason for Ramsay Macdonald to accuse France, which could not help but make Poingale angry.
"The purpose of our war is to end the war. Although the war is over now, we must maintain a considerable degree of deterrence to some people. The United Kingdom and the United States disbanded their armies on the spot after the world war, and then abolished their navies in batches. We
I admit that your purpose is good, but have you ever thought about whether we can win the final victory like the last world war if the war breaks out again?" Poengale firmly disagrees with disarmament. Britain and the United States are a peaceful country.
The European continent is separated by the English Channel and the Atlantic Ocean. France and Germany are separated only by the Maginot Line, which is full of holes.
Don't listen to the French talking about the "Maginot Line", the "fortress that will never fall", or the "protector of the great France". In fact, even the French themselves know that once the world war breaks out again, Maginot will be
The defense line will probably not be able to protect France.
The reason has been mentioned before, the Germans could easily bypass the Maginot Line.
The problem is that France is unable to extend the Maginot Line to the French-Belgian border for some reasons.
This is very embarrassing.
Various measures taken by Mustache after he came to power show that Germany is recovering from chaos. The two best countries in the world for copying southern Africa are the United States and Germany.
Like the United States, the first thing Mustache did after coming to power was finance.
The difference is that the U.S. method is to print $3 billion to provide the necessary funds for the U.S. economic recovery.
Germany is simpler. If the United States wants to print money, it has to turn on the printing press. Germany only needs to find loans from the United States.
The mark has completely collapsed. Before Mustache came to power, the Weimar government forced the implementation of the new mark in order to end inflation. However, without gold as a credit guarantee, the new mark immediately fell into a cycle of rapid depreciation after it was listed. After Mustache came to power, the new mark
The ratio of marks to US dollars has exceeded 42 trillion to one.
After Mustache came to power, the aid Germany received from the United States increased significantly. In order to boost the German economy, Mustache's first batch of loans from the United States reached US$1 billion.
You must know that these 1 billion U.S. dollars are not depreciated U.S. dollars, and it is not the U.S. government that pays for it, but U.S. Wall Street tycoons.
With money, Mustache will have the confidence to rectify the financial system and withdraw from the chaotic monetary system before the end of the Gold Mark.
The current exchange ratio between gold marks and US dollars is about three to one.
"As long as all of us can focus more on restoring the economy, war will never break out. I firmly believe that permanent peace has arrived. The last world war made us all understand the cruelty of world war.
A wise man will not fall in the same place twice, so we will never make the same mistake again." MacDonald was very confident. It was obviously a very simple truth, but he couldn't explain why.
We cannot blame Macdonald for being naive and naive. He is a pacifist and has always been. When the First World War broke out, Macdonald lost his seat in the House of Commons because of his opposition to the war. He only returned to the House of Commons after the war.
Macdonald is not only a pacifist, but also an idealist. He is good at or likes to use his own imagination to replace other people's thinking and construct the world in fantasy. From this perspective, Macdonald should write novels.
, rather than being prime minister.
"You are completely imagining this. The objective world does not depend on personal will. France has the right to demand security guarantees. France will not lay off any of its soldiers until it receives such guarantees," Poengale said angrily.
Leave the meeting, Germany has already withdrawn from the disarmament conference, why are you still wasting time here? The more serious thing is to return home quickly to prepare for war.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, wait a minute." Cordell Hull, who represents the United States in the disarmament conference, does not want to see the conference collapse.
After Roosevelt became President of the United States, he appointed Cordell Hull as Secretary of State.
Cordell Hull is a senior politician who has served as a representative and senator. He supports the United States joining the League of Nations and believes that if the United States does not join the League of Nations, it will lead to the collapse of world peace.
Therefore, in this disarmament conference, the United States has a relatively positive attitude.
Although the United States is also secretly expanding its armaments.
"Mr. Prime Minister, you cannot just ask France to make concessions. The Germans should express themselves first." King Albert I of Belgium supported France and his attitude towards Germany was obvious.
By the way, after the end of the World War, Belgium tried to repair the Liege Fortress, but almost ten years have passed and the repair project of the Liege Fortress has not been completed.
This efficiency is amazing.
Andy Auston, the representative of Southern Africa to the League of Nations, was whispering to Huang Peng, the representative of East India to the League of Nations, and Prince Samson, the representative of the Sultanate of Najd to the League of Nations.
"Has your Excellency Prime Minister gone too far?" This was Huang Peng's first time to participate in an international conference of this level. It must be said that the chaos of the disarmament conference shattered all Huang Peng's illusions about the League of Nations.
In Huang Peng's mind, the League of Nations is a stage for diplomats, so they should be elegant in suits and leather shoes, and their weapons and oars will fly into ashes while talking and laughing.
Unexpectedly, it was only after arriving in Geneva that I realized that the diplomats were no better than the market ladies.
"What should we do? Do we want to speak for the Prime Minister?" Prince Samson made the suggestion from the perspective of the Commonwealth. This is a bit too much. The Sultanate of Najd is not a member of the Commonwealth.
"Haha" Andy smiled and said, no matter what you say in Southern Africa at this time, people will think it has ulterior motives: "Why don't we talk about the military purchase contract, Huang, are you sure East India doesn't need the latest model?"
A 'Hast' fighter jet?"
The Hayate cannot be sold to other people, but it can be sold to the East India. Even if it is sold to the East India, the pilots who fly the Hayate will still be southern African pilots.
"Andy, we just bought ten 'Durban' class cruisers, and we really have no money," Huang Peng complained. East India also paid a lot for the advancement of southern Africa's military industry.
"Samson, what do you say?" Andy was not disappointed. He was always on the same page.
"Can you sell us two aircraft carriers, the two that are being built by Edward Shipyard?" Samson pursued. The Najd oil field has begun to produce oil, and the Najd Sultanate is becoming more and more confident.
