Beiyang reactionaries

This includes the time of landing operations.

Several people discuss the approximate time at most, such as how many months and so on.The specific time is for the military to formulate according to the actual situation.So the meeting time on the first day was very short.

Before the end of the meeting on the first day, everyone decided to discuss the issue of Polish independence after the war, the status of Germany, and the establishment of an international organization after the war to "maintain world peace and security" on the second day.

Everyone left the venue at [-]:[-] p.m., followed by a simple dinner.

The dinner party is relatively free, and it is much more relaxed than a meeting.A lot of people came to this conference, many people from various countries, each with their own mission.The issues discussed by the several leaders are all in the general direction, and the people below must hurry up to discuss specific program issues.The dinner party is a very good opportunity. Everyone can use the relaxed atmosphere of the dinner party to communicate with each other, and to inquire about each other's position and ideas from the side.

"Chairman Duan, how does your country view the establishment of an international organization after the war?"

"In order to avoid the outbreak of a world war like this one, I think it is necessary to establish a broad international organization. However, the newly established international organization should actively learn from the failure of the League of Nations."

After the dinner began, Stalin and Churchill talked about some issues about the Balkans.The biggest disagreement at this meeting was Britain and the Soviet Union, so Stalin and Churchill took advantage of the dinner to exchange views with each other.Roosevelt and Duan Xun talked about some other issues.After all, compared with Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union, China seldom participated in anti-fascist alliance meetings.After all, China is not an anti-fascist ally.

The first time China participated in the Anti-Fascist Alliance Conference was the Quebec Conference held in Canada.At that time, Wang Zhengting attended the meeting on behalf of China, but he only attended the meeting as a non-voting participant and was not considered a participating country.

The Tehran Conference should be said to be the first time that China formally participated in the Anti-Fascist League Conference.

Not to mention Duan Xun.

This is the first time that Duan Xun has personally met a Western leader and participated in an international conference led by the West.The only international conference that Duan Xun has participated in is the regional Asian Joint Conference.Duan Xun is unfamiliar to these people, and they are also unfamiliar to Duan Xun.Therefore, Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union will take time to meet with Duan Xun to see what kind of person Duan Xun is, what is Duan Xun's temper, and to listen to Duan Xun's opinions.Because they all know that Duan Xun's opinion is China's opinion.

So did Roosevelt.

Roosevelt talked to Duan Xun alone, mainly because he wanted to talk to Duan Xun about the Far East.The current Roosevelt is not as relaxed as it seems. On the contrary, the current Roosevelt is more anxious.

During this period, the U.S. and Japanese troops fought frequently in the Pacific islands.

Although China has interrupted the arms trade with Japan, it does not mean that the United States can easily defeat Japan.Japan is still very strong.Historically, a large number of Japanese troops were contained in China, and they had to guard against the Soviet Union, so there were 200 million troops in China alone.Although Japan claims to have 700 million troops, nearly half of them are child soldiers who expanded its army later. Therefore, the 200 million Japanese troops that China restrained at that time was not a small number.And at that time, the British and American navies began to suppress Japan, and the U.S. air force and China began to have air supremacy in cooperation.But things are different now.The United States poured a large amount of supplies into the Pacific Ocean, slowly occupying the initiative in the Pacific battlefield, but when Japan used 70% - 80% of its strength in the Pacific Ocean, it was very stressful for the United States.

The more than 200 million troops used in China in history are currently used against Britain and the United States.And because it has been supported by China before, the strength of the Japanese navy is now greatly reduced, but it still maintains a large scale.In addition, China helped the Japanese army train pilots, so that the Japanese army could greatly reduce the production of trainer aircraft, and more resources were used to produce combat aircraft.Now Japan can produce about 1.5 combat aircraft for the Pacific battlefield every year.

Facing such a Japan, the United States has to pay a high price every time it captures an island in the Pacific Ocean.As the United States counterattacked the Japanese army on the Pacific battlefield, the casualties of the US military also rose sharply.

Casualties aside, the continuation of the war is the most financially difficult for the U.S. government.After all, most of the U.S. military spending that is several times its fiscal revenue is government bonds.Bonds are not waste paper, they need to be repaid by the U.S. Treasury.The sharp rise in debt has a direct impact on US finances and directly affects US finance.Therefore, this method is temporary and can only be used in war, and it is impossible to continue.

Seriously speaking, this kind of financial pressure in the United States did not just appear in the past two years.Roosevelt's New Deal in order to solve the original Great Depression was itself a monetary expansion policy.Up to now, this proactive fiscal policy has been carried out for ten years.Under such circumstances, how could there be no pressure on the U.S. finances.

The Pacific battlefield alone is already so difficult for the United States.But Roosevelt could not let go of Europe.Now the situation in Europe has become more and more clear, and Germany's failure is certain.

Now countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union are considering post-war issues and the division of European interests after the war.It is impossible for the United States to let go of European interests.Although the United States devoted more energy to the Pacific battlefield in World War II, it also spent a lot of manpower and material resources in Europe.With so much money spent and so many deaths, how could it be possible to abandon Europe.

But if you want to fight on two fronts, it is also somewhat powerless for an industrial powerhouse like the United States.It is really because the German, Italian and Japanese Axis powers in this time and space are much stronger than in history, and Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union have suffered too many casualties.

If not, Roosevelt would not support the Soviet Union's plan.In fact, according to the interests of the United States, the United States should support the British plan to open up the European battlefield this time.By supporting the British proposal, the Soviet Union can be blocked in the Balkans.

It is a pity that the current situation does not allow the United States to delay time.

This time in the United States, Roosevelt strongly demanded that China also participate in the meeting, just to discuss with Duan Xun the issue of the Far East and how to defeat Japan.That's why Roosevelt approached Duan Xun at the dinner party.

Instead of directly talking about the issue of the Far East, it first talked about the issue of the establishment of the United Nations.

"I also have the same view. The League of Nations has too many problems and does not have any binding force. It is completely unable to take on the important task of maintaining world peace. We established an international organization after the war. We should have strength and shoulder the responsibility for world peace. Of course the League of Nations There is still a lot for us to learn. Drawing on the organizational structure of the League of Nations, I think the four countries participating in this meeting are very suitable for permanent membership."

The two discussed casually about the United Nations.

What is the League of Nations?

After the end of World War I, the product of the division of world interests.It eventually became the controlling body of Britain and France, the two most powerful of the victorious countries in World War I.

So what is the United Nations?

That is the product of dividing up the interests of the world and reshaping the world order after the Second World War.It was originally an institution for several major powers to formulate world order.Duan Xun and Roosevelt are now exchanging views, many of which will become the charter of the future United Nations.

"Chairman Duan, in this war, your country should also resolve the issues left over from history with Japan, especially territorial disputes. I think the timing is better now."

After talking a few words about the United Nations, Roosevelt quickly brought the topic to the situation in the Far East and Japan.Roosevelt needed China to attack, and needed China to join the United States in attacking Japan.

In history, the United States promised the Soviet Union a lot of conditions in order to attack Japan, including the issue of the independence of Outer Mongolia, the special interests of the Soviet Union in the Far East, including China's Middle-Changan Railway, Lushun garrison, and so on.

It is impossible for the Soviet Union to act in the Far East now, so the United States needs China to act.In order to invite China to take action in the Far East, Roosevelt had a very good attitude.

"should."

Duan Xun didn't hide it, or avoid the topic, but nodded in agreement.

Then he said: "There are indeed many problems that our country needs to solve with Japan, such as the southern part of Sakhalin Island, the southern part of the Thousand Islands, the Taiwan issue, and the South China Sea issue. Not only our country, but also the Republic of Korea has to resolve the issue of reunification. There is also the issue of Ryukyu, which was forcibly swallowed up by Japan in the early years. But because there are too many issues, they need to be resolved one by one. I think that if these issues are to be resolved in Tehran, there should not be enough time. After all, this time Tehran is discussing more European issues. .”

"It makes sense."

Roosevelt nodded.

The Tehran meeting mainly discussed European issues.

The creation of a second European front, the post-war German issue, and the Polish issue are all European issues.Although it also involves some things in the Far East and Japan, it is not the main problem.After being "cut away" by China with a large amount of land in the Far East, the current Soviet Union's influence in the Far East has been greatly reduced, and it does not care much about the affairs of the Far East.

"Chairman Duan, after this meeting is over, our two countries plus England, let's find a place to sit down and study the situation in the Far East together?"

"it is good."

Roosevelt and Duan Xun touched each other lightly, and the next meeting was reached.

750

"This will anger Turkey. What we need now is to win over Turkey and let Turkey join the anti-fascist alliance to stabilize the situation in the Middle East and the Balkans. Once Turkey falls to the Axis powers, it will affect our future in the Balkans action."

On October 1943, 10, the Tehran Conference was in its fifth day.Originally, the Tehran meeting was decided to last for four days.We are all busy people and it is impossible to stay in Tehran for a long time.However, because the content to be discussed has increased, the fifth day has not yet ended.

There is a Chinese reason for this.

Because of China's participation and Duan Xun's personal arrival, the meeting also added some other content, especially the content related to China.For example, in the original meeting process, the establishment of an international organization after the war was just a simple agenda, some general ideas, and we will not talk too much.But it happened that Duan Xun participated in this meeting, which brought together the four top powers in the world.So the four of them devoted half a day to discussing some issues about the United Nations.

Although more specific issues have not yet begun to be discussed, some general frameworks have been agreed upon.Just as four people unanimously decided that the United Nations must be established, and the four countries participating in the meeting must become permanent members of the United Nations.Moreover, at this meeting, the "one-vote veto" of the permanent members proposed to pass.

During the discussion, Roosevelt first stated that "Britain, the Soviet Union, China, the United States and their allies represent more than four-fifths of the world's population. As long as our four major countries can unite and resolve to maintain peace, there will be no more aggressive countries." possibility of war".Therefore, Roosevelt proposed the newly established "four police" system in the United Nations, and believed that China, the Soviet Union, the United States, and the United Kingdom should use their capabilities as major powers to become the world's four police states.

On this basis, Duan Xun expressed his position that in order to protect the interests of several major countries, it is also for these major countries to better complete the task of safeguarding world peace.The newly established permanent members of the United Nations should have "one-vote veto power", which was approved by Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin.

Of course I agree.

This is the privilege of a big country, how could they object.

In addition to this matter, China is mainly involved in the discussion of how China supports the countries of the anti-fascist alliance.The United Kingdom and the Soviet Union, in particular, demanded that China also pass a "Lease Act" similar to the United States in order to support them.It is really because Britain and the Soviet Union really don't have much money in their hands, and they can no longer continue to purchase supplies.

Just look at the UK.

Before the outbreak of World War II, Britain had more than 5000 tons of gold, and a large amount of gold was mined from South Africa every year to supplement their financial shortage.In addition to these, the UK has a large number of overseas assets and is the country with the most overseas assets in the world.Not to mention other invisible overseas assets, just those overseas assets directly controlled by the United Kingdom have tens of billions of dollars.
