Chapter 282
See all
On November 25, 1923, after six months of arduous negotiations, the six most powerful countries in the world, including the British Empire, the British Empire, Hans, Gaul, Italy and Foot Basin, finally reached an agreement on the development of the six navies in Fog City and signed the Fog City Treaty.
The content of this treaty is basically the same as the Washington Treaty of 1922, except that Hans was added to the original five contracting parties.
Hans’s naval tonnage quota is 405,000 tons, making it the third largest navy after the British Empire and the British Empire!
After the signing of this treaty, all countries breathed a sigh of relief.
The British Empire was glad that it had retained its leading position.
Although the British Empire was very dissatisfied with the British Empire’s private use of tricks, the results of Fitch’s investigation showed that the British Empire had replaced the British Empire as the most powerful country in the world at that time, so the British Empire people were not completely without gain!
At least they knew how powerful they were!
For the foot basin, knowing that their national strength was weaker than Hans or even Gaul, being able to keep the quota of 300,000 tons was already a victory for them, so the foot basin had nothing to be dissatisfied with.
As for Gaul and Italy, both countries felt that this matter had little to do with them. No matter how the rules changed, they would most likely still be at the bottom, after all, the navies of both countries were very weak at this time. After the new naval treaty was signed on November 25, it will be officially implemented on January 1, 1941.
In order to supervise the implementation of various countries, the sun never sets and proposes that the six countries entrust the League of Nations to form a special supervision group to review and supervise the construction plans of various countries to ensure that the countries do not secretly build oversized warships in private.
However, this matter involves another problem, that is, Hans and Eagle Sauce are not members of the League of Nations at this time, so if the League of Nations comes forward, it will not be fair to these two countries.
In order to solve this problem, Hans and Eagle Sauce must be invited to return to the League of Nations.
For this reason, the British Empire did a lot of work for the two countries, trying its best to invite them to return to the League of Nations, but the attitudes of the two countries were lukewarm.
The Americans were still upset about the British Empire because of the burning of Fitch, and they had seen the British Empire’s tricks as early as during the Eiffel Tower Conference. What’s more, their president at that time was President Harding, who only thought about isolationism and his own little piece of land on the American continent. He had no interest in international affairs.
So the Americans first rejected the British Empire’s invitation!
After the Americans refused, the British Empire had no choice but to send an invitation to Hans first.
This invitation was soon sent to Berlin and placed in front of Mainz.
“Prime Minister, should we join the League of Nations?”
Everyone looked at Mainz eagerly, with a hint of excitement and even joy in their eyes.
Mainz frowned:”It’s just a League of Nations. It doesn’t matter to us whether we join or not. But since we have already shifted the blame to the Eagle Sauce, then joining the world order dominated by the British Empire at this time and allowing the British Empire to deal with the Eagle Sauce with peace of mind will be helpful for us to improve the external environment. So we can join the League of Nations!”
Mainz’s analysis made everyone nod their heads frequently. He is worthy of being the Prime Minister. His vision and international perspective are really admirable!
“Of course, we are a big country, the second most powerful country in terms of industrial strength, so if we want to join the League of Nations, we cannot just be an ordinary member like other ordinary countries. We must have an identity that matches our status, for example, a permanent member of the League of Nations!”
The position of a permanent member of the League of Nations is not as valuable as the member of the United Nations Council in later generations, but there are only five such positions after all, and they are in the hands of the most powerful country in the world, so Hans can lag behind. Otherwise, if they join the League of Nations but do not have a permanent member, wouldn’t they be bullied by Gaul, their mortal enemy?
How can this be possible?
So it’s not that Hans doesn’t want to be low-key, it’s really that his strength doesn’t allow it!
“I understand. I will contact the British Empire and see if I can get a permanent seat on the Security Council!”
Ribbentrop nodded to show that he understood!
Since General Mainz has already given instructions, the rest depends on Ribbentrop’s operation.
And this time, Ribbentrop has dealt with the old foxes of various countries in the Six-Nation Conference for several months and gained a lot of diplomatic experience. His ability has improved a lot compared to half a year ago!
After Ribbentrop went back, he pretended not to know about the British Empire’s goodwill and kept the other party hanging for a few days. After the British Empire further hinted that it would give Hans the position he deserved, Ribbentrop said that he could consider it! This statement surprised the British Empire. They felt that Hans was hinting at them and waiting for their side. Practical action.
Therefore, the British Empire immediately proposed a proposal in the League of Nations, which was about the allocation of the five permanent members.
At this time, the League of Nations only had four permanent members, namely the British Empire, Gaul, Foot Basin and Italy, and the original fifth permanent member, Eagle Sauce, withdrew from the League of Nations, so this position has been vacant!
If Hans can be absorbed at this time, then the British Empire can suppress Hans through the League of Nations, and can also divide the relationship between Hans and Eagle Sauce by giving Eagle Sauce’s position to Hans, so that Hans will completely turn to his side!
This is a good thing for the British Empire to kill two birds with one stone, so they are very interested in Hans.���The League of Nations was very supportive of Hans’s position as a permanent member.
As Hans’s mortal enemy, the Gauls had a very strong attitude this time, and they clearly expressed their opposition.
However, due to the lack of a veto, and the fact that the British Empire had a large number of followers and younger brothers in the League of Nations, the final vote was that the British Empire’s proposal was passed, and the Gauls’ opposition was invalid. Hans returned to the League of Nations and automatically obtained the position of a permanent member of the League of Nations!
After doing this, the British Empire was happily waiting to see the reaction of the Eagle Sauce people, but he didn’t expect that he would be the first to receive a thunderbolt-like news! On
December 25, 1923, Christmas Day, Hans launched two 40,000-ton battleships designed and built by himself in Stettin, West Prussia-Bismarck and Tirpitz!
The news of the launch of Hans’s two battleships shocked the whole of Europe and soon shocked the whole world!
42,000 tons of displacement, 50,000 tons of full load displacement, 9 406mm main guns, and a maximum speed of 32 knots!
People from all over the world found that the two battleships launched by Hans were simply two monsters!
As soon as they were launched, they immediately snatched the status of the Hood as the world’s strongest battleship!
Moreover, Hans built these two behemoths in just one year. Hans’s military and industrial capabilities are really beyond imagination!
The Sun Never Sets people only realized now that they had been fooled by Hans from the beginning!
No wonder Hans had to delay for so long during the talks in Fog City. It turned out that they had been buying time for the two super-standard battleships secretly built by their own country!
At this time, six days before the implementation of the new treaty, they launched these two super-standard battleships on time. The Sun Never Sets, including all countries in the world, could not blame the Hans people for anything, because they did not violate the rules at all. When they built these two battleships, they did not join the Washington Treaty, so they were not restricted by the treaty!
When they launched these two battleships, the new treaty had not yet come into effect, so they did not have to be sanctioned by the treaty!
Although the British were very angry and wanted to tear apart the two battleships in Hans that seemed extremely dazzling to them, they had no excuse at all!
If they wanted to blame someone, they could only blame their own intelligence department for being incompetent. They had no prior intelligence about the construction of such two large battleships, which was a huge dereliction of duty!
So, in a rage, the Prime Minister fired all the heads of MI6 in Hans! However
, doing so not only did not help, it also greatly damaged the already weak intelligence network of MI6 in Hans, making their intelligence work in Hans even more difficult!
