As the capital of the new Latvia, Gary is hosting a negotiation involving the three Supolos countries today. In addition to the three parties involved in this negotiation, Britain, France, the United States and other countries also sent personnel to observe the negotiation.
As for why it is different from the two parties in the original history, this needs to talk about Romania's seizure of the Western Ukraine region. Because Rossu did not conduct diplomatic negotiations on this except for one fight before. In this negotiation, Lenin and others
With the attitude of resolving the western border issue together, the request must be a tripartite talk. Edel immediately agreed, so this talk took place.
Don't think that Eder had any good intentions in agreeing to this meeting. Luo Bo is a comrade-in-arms, while Britain, France, the United States and other countries are trying to sideline each other. If Luo Su negotiates alone, how can he have such a big advantage?
As for Poland, Piłsudski, who had made great military exploits this time, was abandoned. Because the current leadership of the government is controlled by Dmowski's National Democratic Party, his proposal for a greater Poland was ignored by the other party. The only fault is that
We can only blame him for his early defeat, which allowed Dmowski to find an opportunity to seize the leadership of the parliament, which currently has the greatest power in Poland's political structure.
As for the customs union between Poland and Romania, Dmowski also knows about it, and he has no objection. Although he regards Germany as the main threat, the Soviet Russia behind it will not ignore it. Romania is currently the only country capable of helping Poland.
, how could he make such an offending move? This is also the common understanding in Polish political circles.
Even after the war, many people believed that Romania was more important than Britain and France because they could directly obtain Romanian reinforcements. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the Romanian army was also fully demonstrated in this war.
As for the Soviet Union, it was mainly because of the battle with Poland that Lenin and others discovered that they originally wanted to save the Polish workers and peasants who were oppressed by the Polish landlords and nobles, but in the end, the Polish workers, peasants, soldiers, and landlords and nobles united to fight against the Russians. Only then did Soviet Russia
Realizing that it is not easy to put class ideology above the sovereignty of other countries, Soviet Russia’s policy was transformed into realistic one-country socialism by the working class of the world.
Therefore, in a peace negotiation, all three parties were sincere. Poland this time sent a delegation headed by Parliament Speaker Dmowski, while Romania sent a delegation headed by Prime Minister Bretianu. As for the Soviet Union,
A delegation headed by People’s Commissar for Foreign Affairs Tchicherin was dispatched.
As for the host Latvia, apart from providing venues and security, this new small country has no other demonstrated strength.
After everyone was seated, Chicherin, the Soviet representative who proposed peace talks, took the lead in speaking.
"Everyone, our negotiation this time is based on resolving the territorial disputes between the three parties. This is good for us and the people. It can allow war-torn countries to return to calm and devote more energy to resuming production."
From the very beginning, Chitcherin placed the reason for the Soviet-Russian peace talks on a moral level, completely lacking his previous high-spirited ambition to liberate the entire Europe.
So Dmovsky, one of the negotiators this time, responded to Chicherin. "Mr. Chicherin is right, we came with a peaceful attitude. But we must first resolve the territorial dispute, and we must
The issue of regional ownership must be divided, otherwise the peace talks will not achieve fruitful results."
Regarding Dmovsky's speech, Prime Minister Bretianu, who was about to retire, nodded in agreement. They needed to see the sincerity of Soviet Russia before they could continue to talk.
And Chitcherin quickly showed the sincerity of Soviet Russia.
"Mr. Dmovsky is right. The territorial disputes to be negotiated do need to be divided first. We have a peaceful attitude and intend to give up our territorial claims in Western Belarus and have expressed our sincerity. As for the dispute with Romania
, we will also give up Rivne and Shepetovka as a condition in exchange for the premise of good territorial friendship."
The conditions for Soviet Russia given by Chitcherin were quite favorable. This was based on Soviet Russia's intention to recognize the Curzon Line, and also to recognize Lida, Pinsk, and Baranovichi, which Poland had previously occupied. You must know that the Soviet Union also recognized the Curzon Line.
The loose line is bounded by Brites, which is more than 80,000 square kilometers larger than before.
Dmovsky was somewhat moved when he heard the conditions offered by Soviet Russia, but he still needed to consider the attitude of Prime Minister Bretianu.
As for Bretianu, he was still a little surprised when he heard that Soviet Russia also had territorial compensation for Romania. Rovno and Shepetov combined have nearly 30,000 square kilometers, which is considered a large amount for Romania.
Not bad compensation.
In fact, during discussions within Soviet Russia, Lenin and others felt that Romania was more of a threat than Poland. In order to stabilize Romania, it was reasonable to give a small amount of territory. After all, Soviet Russia currently did not have the strength to attack Romania, and in the international
Upper Soviet Russia has always been in a state of isolation. In order to break this state, stopping territorial wars with European countries is the first priority.
Because during the war in Poland, Lenin also saw the joint resistance of European countries. Moreover, the working class in Western countries did not have any armed resistance, which made him feel that the conditions for world revolution were not yet mature. So he next developed Soviet Russia.
Domestic affairs will become the most important thing. After all, Soviet Russia currently does not have the conditions to fight capitalism.
Although the two countries were quite tempted by the conditions offered by Soviet Russia, they were not ready to agree immediately. So next they wanted to squeeze Soviet Russia to see if they could squeeze out some more benefits. After all, they still had some money in their hands.
The Soviet prisoners of war, plus nearly 400,000 people in Germany, were a good bargaining chip.
"We have heard the sincerity of Soviet Russia, now let's talk about our conditions."
After getting a hint from Dmovski, Prime Minister Bretianu began to state their conditions. "First of all, there is the issue of Polish compensation for this war. Because the Soviet invasion caused huge losses to the Polish people, so here
We demand compensation of 150 million rubles from the Soviet Union. In addition, the Soviet Union should return historical Polish cultural relics. In addition, the Soviet Russia should also treat Minsk as Polish territory in the disputed territories. In response, Poland gave up its rights to other disputed territories.
Declaration of sovereignty.
As for our country, due to the merger with the Ukrainian government, our country also has the conditions to declare sovereignty over Ukraine. However, in line with a peaceful attitude, our country requires that in addition to Rivne and Shepetov, it also requires Zhytomyr.
As a territory. In response, our country will no longer claim sovereignty over other Ukrainian territories. At the same time, it will no longer demand compensation.”
Chitcherin couldn't help but frown after listening to Bretianu telling the conditions between the two countries. Minsk is the most important city in Belarus, and Moscow will not agree. And Zhitomir is the face of Kiev.
If the last city on the Romanian border is given to Romania, Kiev will directly face pressure from Romania, which is also a condition that cannot be agreed to.
Thinking of this, Chicherin couldn't help but said: "Two Excellencies, it is impossible for us to agree to the conditions you have given. The Minsk and Zhitomir divisions are an inseparable part of our side, and it is impossible for us to reach peace conditions on this.
"
At this time, Bretianu retorted: "Why is it impossible? You must know that your country lost this war. If you lose, you need to pay compensation. This is international practice. I don't believe you are not clear about it."
"
Faced with Prime Minister Bretianu's aggressive attitude, Chitcherin couldn't help but fight back: "As a working-class country, our country will not accept your blackmail. Your conditions are blackmail in our view."
We come to negotiate peace with a responsible attitude, not to accept blackmail."
After speaking, Chitcherin looked at Bretianu with an angry look on his face, but the Prime Minister completely ignored his angry look and was even in the mood to chat and laugh with others.
But then Dmovsky stepped forward to act as peacemaker.
"It is necessary to talk during negotiations. It is normal for the conditions of the two parties to be inconsistent. We are all diplomats, and I believe we all understand this."
Even though Dmovsky was acting as a peacemaker, he was secretly mocking Chitcherin. However, everyone was engaged in diplomacy, and shamelessness had long been ignored. Chitcherin's expression calmed down after he got up the steps.
So the three parties then began arduous negotiations around each other's conditions. Fortunately, all three parties were equal in sincerity, allowing the peace talks to proceed.
The negotiations lasted for three months. The final result of the negotiations was that the Lida, Pinsk, and Baranovichi regions in Western Belarus were ceded to Poland. Minsk remained the capital of Soviet Belarus. In addition, the Soviet Union needed to provide Poland with
Pay 80 million rubles as compensation for Poland's economic investment in the Russian Empire during the partition period (actually it is compensation). In addition, the Soviet Union must return the Polish art that was looted by Russia after 1772. Then they will give up to each other.
Claim war reparations.
As for the terms between Soviet Russia and Romania, Rivno and Shepetov belonged to Romania. In addition, Soviet Russia gave Romania 50 million rubles in supplies as a condition for Romania to give up Zhitomir, and at the same time it also paid tribute to the former Romania.
The end of the Soviet War.
In addition, captured soldiers must be returned to their country of origin within six months. In addition, the three parties can no longer claim sovereignty over the other's territory.
In private, Romania also held secret discussions with Poland on the issue of Eastern Galicia, and eventually Poland gave up its sworn sovereignty over the territory. In response, Poland could call on Poles in the region to return to their motherland, which also eased the conflict between the two countries.
A favorable move in the region's dispute.
After all, the characteristics of the Poles make it difficult for Romania to assimilate them, and sending them back to Poland is what Edel is happy to see.
So when the dust settled, Edel turned his attention to the country.
