African Nationhood

On February 1919, 2, all major French media published the front-page news "Chinese Workers in the War" and the apology announcement from the Allied Forces Command.

The press release detailedly recorded the fact that Chinese workers actively served the Allied Powers during the European War, and praised the Chinese workers for their great contribution to the Allied Powers' victory in the war.

The apology announcement by the commander of the Allied Powers showed that the headquarters should have given fair rewards to the Chinese workers after the war, but due to negligence, the Chinese workers suffered unfair treatment.

Regarding this matter, the coalition command apologized to the Chinese workers who suffered unfair treatment and will actively carry out compensation for the Chinese workers.

At the same time, cemeteries should be established in areas where Chinese workers gather, and a war memorial dedicated to Chinese workers should be added to the World War I memorial.

In addition, the oil painting "Temple of War" that was publicly exhibited in Paris was withdrawn and revised, and the image of Chinese workers was added before being exhibited again.

After the Chinese workers who were stranded in France saw the announcement in the newspaper, they became emotional and expressed their gratitude to Chairman Shi for his kindness.

It was also because of Nanhua's strong national prestige that the arrogant Europeans lowered their noble heads.

Many Chinese workers have also received their arrears and replacement wages as well as brand-new silver medals. This matter has come to an end.

……

The Paris Peace Conference was actually a spoils-sharing conference between the victorious Allied Powers, because the victorious countries were mainly Britain, France, the United States, Italy, and the East.

So normally speaking, the big winners in this meeting are these five countries.

However, the Italians' excessive fighting skills on the battlefield have greatly reduced their right to speak.

In addition, Britain, France, and the United States had no intention of fulfilling the "London Secret Treaty" signed before the war, which caused the proud Italian Prime Minister Orlando to run back to the country in anger.

Unexpectedly, he ran back to the country. Both the Parliament and the King felt that he was incompetent and failed to obtain benefits for the country, so they forced him to return to Paris.

Therefore, Britain, France, the United States, East and other countries were shocked to find that the Italian Prime Minister suddenly appeared again after missing for a period of time.

But Italy is a living background, and I can get by without him.

……

Britain, France and the United States had serious differences on how to deal with Germany, so the issue had to be put aside for the time being.

Everyone is unanimous on the issue of how to deal with the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Therefore, Nanhua was able to participate in this meeting and sit down to discuss with the four countries, Britain, France, the United States, and Italy.

Regarding the disposition of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the countries reached an agreement after discussions:
1. Complete disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire
2. We should make Austria and Hungary as weak as possible

3. The Balkans should be integrated into a big country to prepare for the resurgence of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

4. Give Italy some sweetness.

……

Completely dismembering the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the South China European Expeditionary Force has actually done it, but Austria has not yet formed a new government.

After the resolution of the peace conference is adopted, they can be allowed to form a new government on their own.

As for the newly formed government in Hungary, all participants felt that Hungary was still too big and needed to be reduced.

Slovakia was ceded to the newly formed Czech Republic.

Transylvania and Bucovina were ceded to Romania.

(After World War I, Romania's land area doubled. Not only did it cede territory from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but it also gained territory from Russia and Ottoman Turkey.

He is simply an example of success by standing in line and winning by lying down)
To give Italy some sweet things, the countries agreed to cede South Tyrol, Trantino, some islands along the Dalmatian coast and the Istria Peninsula including Trieste to Italy after discussions. The total area is more than 2 square kilometers.

This enabled Italy to not only realize its long-cherished wish to delimit the natural watershed of the Alps, but also to achieve its goal of establishing a strategic fulcrum on the east coast of the Adriatic Sea. However, Italy's request for Fiume (now Rijeka, Croatia) failed because of unanimous opposition from the United States, Britain and France.

This made everyone in Italy extremely angry, which led to the rise of Mussolini and fascism in Italy in the future.

……

As for the issue of integrating major powers in the Balkans, Nanhua, Britain, France, the United States and Italy all have differences.

In Nanhua's view, Nicholas I of Mendnegoro was more suitable, while Britain, France, the United States and Italy felt that Alexander I of Serbia should be supported.

Nanhua doesn't care about this matter. The reason for this stalemate is to see the bids of Mendinegoro and Serbia.

Whoever bids the highest price will be given the favor by Nan Hua.

But this matter cannot be said openly. Whichever of the two kings has a stronger desire will naturally be more active, so Nanhua is not in a hurry.

Nanhua disagreed, and Britain, France and the United States had nothing to do. After all, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was now occupied by the Nanhua Expeditionary Force.

This issue can only be put aside for the time being.

……

Next, various countries expressed concerns about several independent countries supported by Nanhua.

Because the two countries supported by South China, Hungary and the Czech Republic, equally distributed land to ordinary civilians, which was very similar to the practice of Soviet elements in Russia.

Ouyang Geng refuted the fallacies of several leaders on the spot and told them that this was the most classic political wisdom of the ancient Eastern countries for thousands of years: "Those who have permanent property have perseverance."

As long as the general public can obtain land, they will be able to produce with peace of mind and work hard to maintain the hard-won land.

If an external force comes to attack, they will definitely protect the land in their hands.

As for the coalition government formed by capitalist politicians and workers’ representatives, this is all a cover to fool the workers’ representatives.

Capitalist politicians have richer administrative experience, and their political wisdom is also better. Workers' representatives are not the opponents of capitalists at all.

Over time, these workers' representatives will inevitably be corrupted into new capitalist politicians, and then it will be a thoroughly bourgeois government.

As long as the government does not move farmers' land rights, they can maintain the stability of the country. At the same time, because farmers love the land, they have a stronger will to defend the country.

If the old system is restored, it will be impossible for the new government to maintain long-term stability.

It is a problem for the people at the bottom to have enough to eat, so they naturally have no intention of supporting government rule.

The new government we established based on the Juche nation is to prevent the restoration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Moreover, Emperor Karl I of the Austro-Hungarian Empire has always been under our supervision in Nanhua, and it is impossible for the Austro-Hungarian Empire to recover again.

When countries saw Nan Hua's persistence, they could no longer question it. Even if they wanted to overthrow the regime supported by Nan Hua, they had to wait until the Nan Hua Expeditionary Force had withdrawn.

……

The affairs of the Austro-Hungarian Empire have come to an end for the time being, and the next step is the key issue of German overseas colonies.

Various countries have discussed this issue with Nanhua before. The intention is very clear, let Nanhua give up Tanga in East Africa.

This is Nanhua's core interest. Naturally, Nanhua will not agree to it. The parties have held several meetings but have not reached any consensus.

All parties had a firm attitude toward South China, and they decided to start with Germany's Pacific colonization.

Ouyang Geng also knew the plans of various countries. Tanga in East Africa could not be given away, but the island colonies in the Pacific could be used to share profits with the Allied Powers. (End of chapter)
