Beiyang reactionaries

China and Japan stated that they will not build a large military port in Sumatra, but only a small military port.The main purpose is to develop Palembang, and Palembang is only used in the commercial field, and it will definitely not turn Palembang into a military port.At the same time, the interests of these countries in Sumatra and Java are guaranteed.

China and Japan take a step back, Britain, France, and the United States must support the propositions of China and Japan.

The first is to support the establishment of the Indonesian Republic by Sukarno and support the high degree of autonomy of Sumatra Island.

stable.

Among the countries participating in the meeting this time, apart from the Netherlands, the other countries want stability.What Britain, France, and the United States want is the stability of Nanyang, and what China and Japan want at this stage is also the stability of Nanyang.China and Japan need time to digest the swallowed Sumatra and Java islands.

Therefore, the meeting quickly reached a consensus.

On July 1935, 7, the six countries participating in the first Far East Conference signed the "Nanyang Security Agreement".

A total of four major items.

Article [-]: The United Kingdom, France, the United States, the Netherlands, China, and Japan support the establishment of the Indonesian Republic and Sumatra's high degree of autonomy.As for how to establish the Republic of Indonesia, what is the formation method of the Republic of Indonesia, and who will form the Republic of Indonesia will be supervised by China and Japan.In fact, the control of Sumatra and Java Island is handed over to China and Japan, and other countries will not participate.

Article [-]: The six countries participating in the meeting guarantee the stability of Nanyang and refrain from acts that undermine the peace of Nanyang.This is mainly aimed at China and Japan, and requires China and Japan not to build large military ports in Sumatra.As for the construction of a military port on Java Island, Britain, France and the United States have no way to interfere.It is impossible for Japan to occupy Java Island if they are not allowed to build a military port on Java Island.The Japanese navy is definitely going south, so it should have a place to be stationed.

Article [-]: The six participating countries guarantee the safety of life and property of citizens of all countries in Nanyang.The main reason is that China and Japan must ensure the safety of the properties of Britain, France and the United States in Sumatra and Java.

Article [-]: The six participating countries guarantee the equality of all ethnic groups in Nanyang, respect the cultures of all ethnic groups in Nanyang, and protect the legitimate economic and political rights of all ethnic groups in Nanyang.This is what China requires.

The purpose is simple.

At present, among these colonies in Nanyang, there are quite a lot of Chinese and overseas Chinese.Now one-tenth of the population of Nanyang is Chinese and overseas Chinese, and it is still growing.Not to mention that these Chinese and overseas Chinese have an absolute advantage economically.Countries such as Britain, France, the United States and the Netherlands are all greedy for the money of Chinese and overseas Chinese, as well as the land controlled by Chinese and overseas Chinese, and they all want to rob them.

It's just that everyone had scruples, so they didn't make a move.

The Netherlands is poor, and the Netherlands is impulsive, so it is the fastest to do it.At this Far East Conference, China asked these countries not to have any ideas about Chinese and overseas Chinese.At least on the bright side, they cannot directly rob the property of Chinese and overseas Chinese like the Netherlands.Of course, they use other methods to restrict Chinese and overseas Chinese, and China can't stop it now.

With the signing of the "Nanyang Security Agreement", all countries except the Netherlands got what they wanted.Britain, France, and the United States gained temporary peace in Nanyang, and China and Japan controlled Sumatra and Java Islands.Only the Netherlands suffered heavy losses.

The Netherlands not only lost the islands of Sumatra and Java, but also compensated the losses of Chinese and overseas Chinese according to the contract.The Netherlands has controlled Sumatra, Java, and Sulawesi, and now only Sulawesi is left.Of the four major islands in Indonesia in history, Java Island has the largest population, the best economy, and the most important status. It is currently in the hands of Japan.Sumatra is in the best position to be in the hands of China.Kalimantan is currently a British colony, and the Netherlands can only be Sulawesi, which has the worst control.

This is the real world.

For the sake of the stability of Nanyang, the British, French and American countries sold the Netherlands after changing hands, without feeling any burden at all.Because Britain, France and the United States do not want turmoil in Nanyang, they are willing to appease China and Japan.As for what the Netherlands thinks, it is not in their consideration at all.This is the tragedy of a weak country. A strong country never considers the feelings of a weak country, but only considers its own interests.

"The French Parliament passed it so quickly?"

"The French Parliament passed it so quickly?"

"Yes."

Combine vertically and horizontally.

The current world situation is in chaos, and everyone is a little confused, unable to see clearly the development of the situation.Because everyone is in the game, they are very cautious.The world has changed too much in recent years, and the original stable situation has begun to be broken.Therefore, many countries have begun to adjust their foreign policies.

In the just-concluded first Far East Conference, Britain, the United States and France have been working hard to stabilize the situation in Nanyang and to suppress China and Japan.The current situation in Nanyang is that China and Japan are united together, Britain, France and the United States are united together, and the Netherlands is the bargaining chip for both sides.Nobody cares about Holland.

In the eyes of both sides, the interests of the Netherlands are the bargaining chip for stabilizing Nanyang.For their respective interests, both parties divided the interests of the Netherlands.The "Sea Coachman" who traveled across the world back then has become a plaything in the hands of the great powers.

In any case, after the end of the first Far East Conference, except for the Netherlands, other countries are still very satisfied on the whole.After all, they got what they wanted.

Nanyang has also stabilized.But this is only temporary.

After all, China and Japan, the two big countries in the Far East, have already extended their hands to Nanyang and started to intervene in Nanyang affairs.China and Japan currently control the islands of Sumatra and Java.China and Japan promised Britain, France and the United States that they would not build a large military port in Sumatra, but they did not say that they would not build a small military port here.After all, China's naval forces must also have a place to be stationed.Moreover, there is the largest port on the Sumatra Island side, which is Palembang, the most important city in Sumatra Island.This is the largest port and the best port in Sumatra.Sumatra's oil and other raw materials are exported through the port of Palembang.Although it is now a commercial port, it is not difficult to turn it into a military port.It can even be said that Palembang can be turned into a military port anytime and anywhere.

Moreover, Japan has already built a military port on Java Island, especially Batavia (Jakarta) was originally a large port.After Japan took control of Batavia, a large number of Japanese naval forces have been stationed here.In addition to the navy, a large number of Chinese and Japanese army troops poured into Sumatra and Java Island.

Japan already has two brigades of army units in Java Island, and has begun to deploy the Army Air Force and Naval Air Force.Sukarno has not yet established the Republic of Indonesia, but if Sukarno wants to establish the Republic of Indonesia, he must agree to a large number of conditions from Japan.And at that time, the troops in Sukarno's hands will also be allies of the Japanese army.The same is true for China, which has a division of the army in Sumatra and is also stepping up the deployment of air forces.

The peace of Nanyang has actually been destroyed.

It's just that everyone compromised and temporarily stabilized the situation, covering up everyone's conflicts.It can be said that the current stability of Nanyang is very fragile, and even a slight incident will destroy the current stability.

The same is true in Europe.

Germany broke through the "Treaty of Versailles" and began to threaten the stability of Europe.The pace of Germany's military expansion is too fast. In a short period of time, the size of the army has easily exceeded 30, and it will soon complete the 50 standing army that Hitler said.Britain, France, and Italy meet every day to discuss how to deal with Germany and how to sanction Germany.However, none of these countries has taken any substantial action.

Needless to say, Italy.

Mussolini is now eyeing Ethiopia, so there is no time to take care of German affairs.And for Germany, the biggest enemies are Britain and France.

Therefore, Britain and France are deeply worried.

Therefore, in Europe, countries are also in constant contact to see how to solve the current situation.This is the case with France and the Soviet Union.France is the country most worried about Germany's resurgence. After all, compared to Britain, France is Germany's biggest enemy.Because both France and Germany are vying for supremacy on the European continent.In the First World War, although France was victorious, it was seriously injured, and it had a deep fear of Germany's combat power.Therefore, they are most wary of the rise of Germany and dislike war the least.

So did the Soviet Union.

Originally, after the First World War, the relationship between Germany and the Soviet Union was quite good.However, as Hitler came to power, the relationship between Germany and the Soviet Union quickly cooled.Hitler's Nazi party was a party that directly expressed its anti-communism, and Hitler himself was very disgusted with the Soviet Communist Party and the Communist International.Recklessly attack these forces in Germany.This caused the relationship between Germany and the Soviet Union to deteriorate rapidly.

Therefore, the Soviet Union also began to fear the rise of Germany.

Of course it's not just a German problem.The Soviet Union and France still have a common enemy at present.Or it is not an enemy, but a common opponent, a future opponent.

That is China.

Since China began to announce the various data of the second five-year plan, and the third five-year plan began to develop armaments, it has seriously affected the interests of the Soviet Union and France.China's industrial strength is growing rapidly, and China's industrial data makes surrounding countries "terrified".In particular, China's military expansion is very obvious.

If you want to expand the army, you need to recruit troops, and it is a large-scale conscription. This is something that cannot be concealed at all.China has begun to expand its military, and has begun to build railways, roads, and airports in border areas, all of which are open to the public.And the first to be affected by these actions was the Soviet Union.

After all, the Northeast, Mongolia, and Xinjiang have made the biggest moves.

The railway planning and highway planning, including the construction of frontier cities, are all blatant.The Soviet Union in Moscow felt the threat posed by China in the Far East.

The Soviet Union began to reorganize its troops in the Far East because it felt this threat, and it was to guard against China.Similarly, China's military expansion has greatly affected France's interests in French Indochina.China's Yunnan and Guangxi directly border on French Indochina. This time, the Chinese and Japanese navies even directly intervened in the Nanyang affairs, which also shocked France.

The current actions of Germany in Europe and China in Asia have brought France and the Soviet Union closer together.

On May 1935, 5, France and the Soviet Union signed the "French-Soviet Mutual Assistance Treaty".When either of France and the Soviet Union becomes the target of aggression by other countries, the two countries promise to provide immediate support and assistance to each other.

Literally speaking, this is almost equivalent to a military covenant.

Originally, it would take some time for such a treaty to be approved by the domestic parliament after the government signed it.According to the normal procedure, at least half a year, or even seven or eight months.Especially the current political chaos in France, where conservatives and leftists are hostile to each other. At present, many issues of the French government are in the parliament, because internal disputes cannot be passed.But I didn't expect that in less than three months, on July 1935, 7, the French Congress passed the treaty.

In fact, the French Congress passed the treaty so quickly, which has a lot to do with the Far East Conference held in Singapore this time.France was stimulated, greatly stimulated.After all, Europe is unstable, and now even the Far East is beginning to be unstable.Given the status of Britain, France and the United States in the world, this Far East Conference can only take a step back, and the stimulation it will bring to France can be imagined.It is precisely because of this that the French Congress, which was originally very chaotic, passed the treaty so quickly.When the news reached China, Duan Xun immediately held a prime minister's office meeting.After all, France and the Soviet Union

"France and the Soviet Union, are they sincerely allied? Or is it to cope with the current situation?"

"Shouldn't be a true military alliance."

"How to say?"

"Prime Minister, let's start with the current French Prime Minister Laval."

Yan Huiqing spoke immediately.
