After some war of words and interests, on June 16, 1905, countries around the world signed the "Vienna Agreement" in Vienna, and the world war came to a successful conclusion.
Generally speaking, the content of the treaty is favorable to most countries. Even for defeated countries, the treatment is not harsh.
The countries that quit the war and switched jobs in the past are now barely considered members of the Continental Alliance and are no longer held accountable for the war.
Only the United Kingdom, Japan and the United States will be held accountable. The most miserable natural British Empire, as the main force of the world war, directly lost a bottom.
The content of the treaty is as follows:
1. The defeated countries (Britain, Japan, and the United States) acknowledged the defeat of the war and took full responsibility for the world war;
2. Cessation of all colonies to the Continental Alliance;
(respectively: Shinra acquired British Australia, Canada, New Zealand, parts of the Indo-China Peninsula, and overseas islands, including: Hawaii, Madagascar, Sri Lanka and other regions;
Spain takes back the Strait of Gibraltar;
Western, Portuguese, Dutch, Belgian, Northern Europe, Sardinia, Greece and other countries jointly carve up British India;
… )
3. Pay war reparations of 66 billion Aegis, repayment of principal and interest in 99 years, 5/1000 per month; (respectively: 33 billion for Britain, 32.5 billion for the United States, and 500 million for Japan)
(The distribution is as follows: Holy Roman Empire 79.6%, Russian Empire 8.8%, Spain 4.9%, Netherlands 3.5%, Belgium 0.7%… )
Note: Taking into account the financial situation of various countries, the annual repayment should not be less than 15% of the government's fiscal revenue, and the outstanding part will be automatically accumulated with compound interest.
4. In order to maintain world peace and stability, the defeated countries are not allowed to develop any military industry, and all weapons and equipment are purchased from the countries of the Continental Alliance;
5. The armed forces of the defeated country must be limited and not disrupt the regional balance, including: the army, the police, the militia and other armed forces. The size of the army is to be checked and approved by the upcoming international alliance every year;
6. From the date of the signing of the treaty, the countries will complete the handover within one year, and all the armies of the United Kingdom, Japan and the United States will be withdrawn to the mainland;
7. From the date of the signing of the treaty, countries will begin to exchange prisoners of war within one month, and the extra prisoners will be paid ransom in accordance with international practice;
…
There are more than 100 articles in total, and the content is a lot more, but it is still much lighter than the punishment for the French back then.
Surrender lost half of the time, and it was only the French who surrendered too late to blame. When the British surrendered, there was still a Royal Navy in their hands. When the French surrendered, the coalition forces were almost killed in Paris.
Of course, this is only a superficial reason. The fundamental reason is that the French are a greater threat, and the British who are alone overseas will be completely unfavorable once they lose their colonies.
Looking at the content of the treaty, you can see that even the Royal Navy Vienna government is not interested in incorporating it. We all know the reason, the landlord's family has no surplus.
The size of the Shinra Navy is huge enough. From now on, it will be the era of aircraft carriers. If you bring back a bunch of outdated battleships, you can only dismantle and sell scrap iron besides pulling them out to shoot.
Anyway, the British couldn't afford it after the war, and even the whole world couldn't find a country that could afford it. The annual maintenance cost alone exceeded the fiscal revenue of most countries.
No one will want it at a tearful sale. Restricted by the Vienna Treaty, Britain will lose its military industry after the war, which means that spare parts are out of print.
For most countries, buying such a one-off warship back is purely taking up space.
Small potential also has the advantage of small potential. After paying the price of colonies, war reparations, and the military industry, Britain successfully kept the British Isles.
It's just that this success is only temporary. Five years later, there will be referendums in Ireland, Scotland, and Wales waiting for them.
Being able to extend the referendum by five years is the result of the British government's efforts. Who let them offend many people in the past
The Vienna government was bought, but other countries were unwilling to let them go. It is conceivable that the British Isles are doomed to be unsettled in the next few years.
A Britain that is trapped on its hands and feet is obviously unable to deter all countries. There is vengeance and revenge, and there are complaints and complaints, which are naturally indispensable.
Anyway, no matter how big the trouble is, as a defeated country, it is impossible for Britain to provoke a war to retaliate.
The other terms are nothing, but the compensation is the most noticeable. It is not a huge amount. Compared with the indemnity paid by France, the British are still several billions less.
What is really surprising is the distribution of indemnities in the three countries of the United Kingdom, the United States, and Japan. The Japanese only paid 500 million, which everyone can understand.
The Japanese government is already very poor, and 500 million Aegis has been their fiscal revenue for more than ten years. If there is more, it will really be too much debt.
What's more, although the Japanese were on the wrong team, they also made great contributions to the fight against the Russians.
It's just that this kind of credit cannot be taken on the table. They deserve a little care, not to mention that they have lost all their colonies and are also limited in their armaments.
It's just this kind of preferential treatment, it is estimated that the Japanese government probably cannot understand it. It is estimated that once the content of the treaty spreads, it will be time to punish the thieves of the country again.
In contrast, it is extremely unfriendly to the United States. It is also an accomplice. The Japanese pay 500 million yuan, and they will pay 32.5 billion yuan, which is almost the same treatment as Great Britain.
No doubt, this is again the result of insider trading. The total amount of indemnity of 66 billion was jointly determined by the Continental Alliance, but the distribution of the three countries' respective war indemnities was the result of the activities of the three countries.
For the purpose of dividing the relationship between the three countries, the Vienna government deliberately indulged all this. In the end, it was naturally the vicious Britain that won, and successfully dumped half of the debt to its allies.
This is still the result of someone seeing them unhappy and deliberately making a stumble, otherwise the United States will pay more.
No matter what others think of it, Franz didn't understand how the Americans dared to sign the treaty when he saw it.
You know, in order to protest the unfair treatment at the Vienna Peace Conference, the Japanese representative refused to sign.
It's just that after the Alliance Fleet blocked the Sea of Japan and a Tokyo bonfire banquet, the Japanese representative decisively signed the name.
It is said that the unlucky bastard was going to have a belly cut after signing, but no samurai sword was found at the scene, so he could only give up temporarily.
Then, of course, it was warned by the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It doesn't matter if you cut the abdomen, you can cut it when you return to China. If you do something in Vienna, the Nanyang Fleet will go to Tokyo to visit.
With the signing of the Vienna Agreement, half of the task of the peace conference is completed. The next step is to form the United Nations and establish a new international order.
Different from the previous coexistence of various powers, this time it is completely the Shinra family. In theory, Franz can build an international order according to his own will.
Obviously, this is not possible. Regardless of the strength of each country, without everyone's cooperation, this international order would not be able to be established.
As the big winner of this war, what the Holy Roman Empire needs now is a stable world.
Doing things around, provoking relations between countries, and playing with regional balance are the kind of island countries that Britain does.
As a strong mainland overlord, you must play these little tricks, and you can just go straight to Yang Conspiracy.
Looking at the map on the wall, the double eagle flags all over the world became a beautiful landscape, Franz said slowly: "The establishment of the United Nations needs to speed up the progress; however, there is no need to rush to finalize the organizational structure and functions.
The world war has just ended, and international conflicts are in a period of easing. For the time being, you don’t need an organization that is above your own head. Going your way can easily lead to resistance from everyone.
In a short period of time, the United Nations acted as a liaison organization, and specific functions were gradually filled according to subsequent needs.
This world has never been peaceful. As long as human beings still exist, contradiction is the eternal subject. When international contradictions intensify, countries will naturally realize the value of the existence of the United Nations. "
It is not easy to be the boss. For the sake of long-term stability, Franz must take into account the feelings of various countries and not offend everyone.
The United Nations must have it, but everyone should not think that this is a conspiracy of Shinra, who wants to interfere in the internal affairs of various countries and dominate the world through this organization.
As the only hegemon, who is still far behind his competitors, Franz is in no hurry when it comes to establishing an international order.
Just take it slow. If things are done all at once, what will the next emperor do
Prime Minister Chandler: "Your Majesty, the problem of the United Nations is easy to deal with. As long as the organization is not given substantial power, no country will refuse to join.
The trouble is the follow-up issue. The countries have signed the agreement, but whether it can be implemented as agreed is still unknown.
The problem in Britain should not be a big one. In the just-concluded world war, Britain lost at least 3 million people, which was when the anti-war sentiment among the people was at its strongest.
What's more, our punishment for the British Empire is not harsh. Except for the slightly larger amount of reparations, other things have little to do with ordinary British people.
Japan and the US are different. Looking at the performance of the Japanese representatives, we can see that Japan cannot accept such conditions of armistice, and the follow-up will inevitably continue.
Not to mention the United States, there are a lot of internal contradictions. Before the Vienna Peace Conference began, domestic troubles began.
The terms of the treaty against the United States are too harsh, and once passed back, I am afraid it will be another storm. "
The big picture, that's what politicians need to think about. The response of ordinary people has always been to follow their hearts, and dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction.
Fragile Japanese nationalism, chaotic United States chaos, clearly could not withstand the blow of the Vienna Agreement.
Civil uproar will inevitably be affected politically.
There are already signs of madness in Japan these days. If a coup is launched to overthrow the traitorous government, Franz will not be surprised at all.
Although the nationalism of the United States is so overwhelming, each state is a big prince, and its power is no less than that of the state where Shinra kneels.
A coup is unlikely, but impeaching the president and changing the government is a matter of minutes.
The political situation is unstable and the treaty is waste paper. If you want Japan and the United States to fulfill the agreement, you don't know who to turn to.
After knocking on the table, Franz said calmly, "It's fine to let them make a fuss, maybe there will be unexpected gains.
The Russians suffered heavy losses in this war, and they did not get the India they wanted after the war. They were holding back their fire and didn't punish Japan. Nicholas II was afraid that he would not be able to swallow this breath.
A few days ago, didn't the Far Eastern Empire want to take back the colonies occupied by the Japanese
This is good, if the Japanese are noisy, they will sell the Japanese colonies to the Far East Empire. Ordered the Nanyang Fleet to blockade the Japanese waters and let them send troops to regain lost territory.
The United States is easier to handle, not afraid of them making trouble, just afraid that they will not make trouble. Add a fire to them and stir up conflicts between states.
Obviously the eastern states are fighting for their own interests, so why should the western and central states pay the bill
If it really caused the division of the United States, it would not be impossible to negotiate the waiver of indemnity. The responsibility rests with Washington, not the independent nascent state. "
