Gary, as the capital of newly born Latvia, is here today for a negotiation concerning the three countries of the Souporos. In addition to the three parties involved in this negotiation, the United Kingdom, France, the United States and other countries also sent personnel to observe.

As for why it is different from the two parties in the original history, it needs to talk about the issue of Romania's seizure of Western Ukraine. Because Rossu had not had any diplomatic negotiations on it except for one fight before. In this negotiation, Lenin and others, with the attitude of solving the border issue on the western front together, demanded that it must be a tripartite meeting. And Edel agreed immediately, so there was this meeting.

Don't think that Edel has any good intentions in agreeing to this meeting. Luo Bo is a comrade-in-arms, while Britain, France, the United States and other countries are taking sides. If Rossu negotiates alone, how can there be such a big advantage.

As for Poland, this time Piłsudski, who made great achievements, was abandoned. Because the current government leadership is controlled by Dmowski's National Democratic Party, his claims for Greater Poland have been ignored by the other side. To blame, he can only blame him for his defeat in the early stage, allowing Dmowski to find an opportunity to seize the leadership of the parliament, which is currently the most powerful in the Polish political structure.

As for the customs union between Poland and Romania, Dmowski also knew about it, and he did not object. Although he regards Germany as the main threat, the Soviet Russia behind him will not ignore it. As for Romania, the only one capable of helping Poland at present, how could he offend him? This is also the general perception in Polish politics.

Even after the war, many people believed that Romania was more important than Britain and France, because they had direct access to Romanian reinforcements. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the Romanian army was also vividly displayed in this war.

As for the Soviet Union, it was mainly because of the battle with Poland that Lenin and others discovered that they originally wanted to save the Polish workers and peasants who were oppressed by the Polish landlords and nobles, but the Polish workers, peasants, soldiers and landlords and nobles united to fight against the Russians. Only then did the Soviet Union realize that it is not so easy to put class ideology above the sovereignty of other countries. Therefore, the policy of Soviet Russia has also been transformed by the world working class united into the reality of socialism in one country.

Therefore, in a peace negotiation, all three parties are sincere. Poland sent a delegation headed by the President of Parliament Dmowski this time, while Romania sent a delegation headed by Prime Minister Bretianu, and the Soviet Union sent a delegation headed by the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Zicherin. delegation.

As for the host Latvia, in addition to providing venues and security, this new small country has no other strengths to show.

After everyone was seated, Tichcherin, the representative of the Soviet Union who proposed peace talks, took the lead in speaking.

Ladies and gentlemen, our negotiation is based on resolving the territorial disputes between the three parties. This is good for us and the people. It can bring peace to the war-torn countries and devote more energy to resuming production.

Zicherin put the reason for the Soviet-Russian peace talks on a moral level at the very beginning,

There is absolutely no spirit to liberate the whole of Europe before.

So this time one of the negotiators, Dmowski, responded to Zicherin. Mr. Zicherin is right. We are here with a peaceful attitude. However, to resolve the territorial disputes first, we must divide the ownership of the area, otherwise the peace talks will not achieve results.

For Dmowski's remarks, Prime Minister Bretianu, who was about to retire, nodded in agreement. They need to see the sincerity of the Soviet Union before they can continue to talk.

And Zicherin quickly showed the sincerity of the Soviet Union.

Mr. Dmowski is right, the territorial disputes under negotiation do need to be divided first. We intend to give up our territorial claims to the West Belarus region in a peaceful manner and express our sincerity. As for the dispute with Romania , we will also give up Rovno and Shepetovka as a condition in exchange for the premise of friendship and friendship.

The conditions given by Zicherin for Soviet Russia are quite favorable. This is on the basis of Soviet Russia's plan to recognize the Curzon Line, and the recognition of Lida, Pinsk, and Baranovich that Poland had previously occupied. You must know that the Curzon Line is bounded by Bretts, which is more than 80,000 square kilometers than before.

Dmowski was a little moved when he heard the conditions given by Soviet Russia, but he also needed to consider the attitude of Prime Minister Bretianu.

As for Bretianu, he was still a little surprised when he heard that Soviet Russia also had territorial compensation for Romania. Rovno and Shepetov add up to nearly 30,000 square kilometers, which is a good compensation for Romania.

In fact, in the discussions within Soviet Russia, Lenin and others felt that Romania was more threatening than Poland. In order to stabilize Romania, it is reasonable to give a small amount of territory. After all, Soviet Russia currently does not have the strength to attack Romania, and Soviet Russia has always been isolated internationally. In order to break this state, it is imperative to stop the territorial war in European countries.

Because in the war in Poland, Lenin also saw the combined struggle of European countries. Moreover, the working class in Western countries has not experienced armed resistance, which makes him feel that the conditions for world revolution are not yet ripe. Therefore, the next development of Soviet Russia will become the most important thing. After all, Soviet Russia does not currently have the conditions to fight capitalism.

Although the two countries are quite tempted by the conditions given by Soviet Russia, they have not reached the point of agreeing immediately. So next they want to squeeze the Soviet Union to see if they can force out some benefits. After all, they still have Soviet prisoners in their hands, and there are nearly 400,000 people in Germany, which is a good bargaining chip.

We have heard the sincerity of the Soviet Union, and now let's talk about our conditions.

After being hinted by Dmowski, Prime Minister Bretianu began to state their terms. First of all, the issue of compensation for Poland in this war. Because of the Soviet invasion, which caused huge losses to the Polish people, here we ask Russia to pay compensation of 150 million rubles. In addition, Russia should return historical Polish cultural relics. In addition, the Soviet Union should also regard Minsk as Polish territory in the disputed territory. In response, Poland gave up its oath of sovereignty over other disputed territories.

As for my country, because of the merger with the Ukrainian government, my country also has the conditions to swear sovereignty over Ukraine. However, in a peaceful attitude, our country demands, in addition to Rovno and Shepetov, the territory of Zhitomyr. In response, our country will no longer swear an oath of sovereignty over other Ukrainian territories. It is also not seeking compensation.

Zicherin couldn't help frowning after listening to Bretianu stating the conditions of the two countries. Minsk, as the most important city in Belarus, Moscow will not agree. Zhitomir is the last city in Kyiv facing the Romanian border. If it is given to Romania, Kyiv will directly face Romanian pressure, which is also an unacceptable condition.

Thinking of this, Chicherin couldn't help but said: My Excellencies, we cannot agree to the conditions you have given us. Minsk and Zhitomir Division are an integral part of our side, and we cannot reach peace conditions on this.

At this time, Bretianu retorted: Why is it impossible, you must know that your country has lost in this war. If you lose, you need to pay compensation. This is an international practice. I don't believe your Excellency is not clear.

Facing the aggressive attitude of Prime Minister Bretianu, Chicherin could not help but counterattack: As a working-class country, our country will not accept your extortion. Your condition, in our view, is extortion. We are negotiating peace in a responsible manner, not accepting extortion.

After Chicherin finished speaking, he looked at Bretianu with an angry expression, but the Prime Minister completely ignored his angry expression, and even had the mood to chat and laugh with others.

But at this time Dmowski stepped forward and acted as a peacemaker.

What needs to be discussed during the negotiation, it is normal for the two sides to have different conditions. Everyone is a diplomat, and I believe everyone understands this truth.

Even though Dmowski was a peacemaker, he secretly satirized Zicherin. However, everyone is engaged in diplomacy, and shame has long been ignored. Zicherin's expression calmed down when he got the steps.

So then the three parties started arduous negotiations around each other's conditions. Fortunately, the three parties are the same in terms of sincerity, so that the peace talks can continue.

The negotiations lasted for three months. The final result of the negotiation was that the Lida, Pinsk, and Baranovich regions of West Belarus were ceded to Poland, and Minsk remained the capital of Soviet Belarus. In addition, Soviet Russia had to pay Poland 80 million rubles, as Poland was being divided up. Compensation (actually indemnity) for the economic input of the Russian Empire during the period. Moreover, the Soviet Union needed to return the Polish art that was looted by Russia after 1772. Then each other gave up claiming war reparations from each other.

As for the terms between the Soviet Union and Romania, the two places of Rovno and Shepetov belonged to Romania. In addition, the Soviet Union gave Romania 50 million rubles of supplies as a condition for Romania to give up Zhitomyr, and it was also the end of the previous Russian-Soviet war.

In addition, captured soldiers must be returned to their countries within six months. In addition, the three parties can no longer claim sovereignty over each other's territory.

In private Romania also held secret discussions with Poland on the issue of Eastern Galicia, and Poland finally gave up its sworn sovereignty over the territory. In response, Poland could call on Poles to return to the motherland in the region, which is also a favorable move to ease disputes between the two countries over the region.

After all, the characteristics of the Poles make it difficult for Romania to assimilate them, and sending them back to Poland is also what Edel would like to see.

So when the dust settled, Eder turned his attention to the country.
