Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The negotiations reached a deadlock. Both China and the Austro-Hungarian Empire demanded severe treatment of Russia and weakened Russia as much as possible!  However, Germany does not agree with this solution. They do not want Russia to be excessively weakened, and they hope that Russia's national strength can be preserved to achieve Russia's strategic goals!  As for the other countries, although they have not made a clear statement due to pressure from Germany, everyone knows that they also hope to get as many benefits from Russia as possible!

    "Everyone, as we all know, Russia is a powerful country! Although Russia's industrial strength is poor, their military strength is considered a first-class power in the entire Europe and even the world! A strong Russia, for China and the Allies,  , will pose a serious threat! Only by weakening Russia as much as possible can our security be guaranteed! Therefore, the Chinese government hopes that our proposal can be passed!" Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi said seriously!  China is very dissatisfied with the Germans' favoritism to Russia!

    "Austro-Hungary supports China's proposal! Russia is one of the main enemies of the Allies. We finally won this war, and we have paid a heavy price for it! We don't want to face a powerful Russia again,  Fight such a war again!" Mario Weber, Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, immediately responded!  Austria-Hungary and Russia have always had great conflicts in their struggle for the Balkans.  Now that we have finally defeated Russia, we certainly don¡¯t want Russia to pose a threat to the Austro-Hungarian Empire again!  In addition, Germany spared no effort to excuse Russia, which also aroused the vigilance of the Austro-Hungarian government!  The Austro-Hungarian Empire originally hoped to completely resolve the threats from the south and east, so that they could concentrate all their efforts on dealing with the German threat!  However, if Germany continues to support Russia, it will undoubtedly pose a new threat to the Austro-Hungarian Empire!

    "Gentlemen, Russia has paid a sufficient price in this war. Millions of their troops were killed or injured in the war, and even more civilians died in this war. Countless villages and cities have been transformed.  It has become ruins, and Russia's originally underdeveloped industry has suffered a devastating blow. Such a Russia no longer poses a threat to our countries! If we insist on weakening Russia excessively, we will be attacked by Russia.  Resist! A turbulent Russia is also very detrimental to our countries! Therefore, the German government believes that our treatment plan for Russia should be more appropriate!" said German Prime Minister Holweg!

    China, Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire could not agree on how to deal with Russia, which made it impossible to implement the plan to deal with Russia.  Russia is a major member of the Allied Powers. Ending the war against Russia is very important for ending this world war.  All countries hope to reach an agreement with Russia on post-war issues as soon as possible without having to station a large number of troops in Russia as now!  Whether it is China, Germany, or the Austro-Hungarian Empire, there are millions of troops stationed in Russia.  The military expenditures consumed by millions of troops every day are also astronomical figures!  Of course, this will further weaken the strength of each country during the process of military occupation.  For Russia, this itself means a disaster!  The occupying forces will definitely loot everywhere in the enemy's territory.  Finally, a devastated land was left to Russia!

    ¡°Everyone, why don¡¯t we adjourn the meeting today and wait until tomorrow to discuss and negotiate on related issues?¡± German Foreign Minister Stresemann suggested!  China and the Austro-Hungarian Empire both advocated harsh treatment of Russia. Although several other countries have not made clear their stance, they are certainly inclined to this idea.  Germany has undoubtedly become alone, which makes them feel a lot of pressure!

    "China has no objections! Countries can communicate privately first to ensure that a precise plan can be come up with at tomorrow's meeting!" Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang said!  The Germans' deliberate preference for Russia made the Chinese very angry!  If it weren't for the fact that now is not the best time to start a war with Germany, the negotiations this time would have broken down long ago!

    The delegation from the Austro-Hungarian Empire also agreed.  Since the three major countries have agreed to temporarily adjourn the meeting, the other three countries have no objections!  However, in general, everyone is still very dissatisfied with the German government's actions!  As a victorious country, it is only natural to plunder the defeated country!  For their own interests, the Germans have to find ways to favor Russia, and this undoubtedly harms everyone's interests!

    After the meeting, delegations from various countries also began to contact each other secretly to discuss what should be done in tomorrow's negotiations.  After the German delegation returned to the German Embassy in China, the Russian delegation immediately went to the German Embassy in China!  Although the Russian delegation went there secretly, the entire Beijing, especially the embassy area, is a place of focus monitoring by China's Military Intelligence Bureau and the Department of Homeland Security. Every move of other countries is under China's control.  only, it¡¯s still unclear what their conversation was about!

    In the German Embassy in China, German Prime Minister Holweg and Foreign Minister Stresemann met with representatives of the Russian mission, Russian Prime Minister Ivan Goremekin and Foreign Minister Izvorsky.  After learning that today's peace conference was mainly to discuss the plan to deal with Russia, the members of the Russian mission have been in fear!  From the victorious country's plan to deal with Italy, they knew how serious the victorious country's treatment of the defeated country would be this time!  Russia has already suffered heavy losses in this war. If it is frantically plundered by the victorious countries again, then Russia will be no different from being destroyed!  Therefore, after learning that the meeting was adjourned, they immediately rushed to the German Embassy in China to inquire about the news!

    "Your Excellency Prime Minister Ivan Goremekin, to tell you the truth, the current situation is very unfavorable for Russia! Although we have tried our best to safeguard Russia's interests, both China and Austria-Hungary advocate severe punishment for Russia.  In addition, several other countries also acquiesced to this plan! Therefore, Germany is under great pressure!" said German Prime Minister Holweg!

    "Your Excellency, Prime Minister Holweg, Russia has suffered heavy losses, and we cannot withstand harsh treatment! We also ask Germany to find a way to help us turn things around. In the future, Russia will become Germany's staunchest ally!" Ivan Go  Prime Minister Lemekin said hurriedly.  Now the only thing Russia can count on is Germany!  Although the two sides are in a relationship of mutual use, as long as they can retain Russia's national power as much as possible, they have no choice!

    "Your Excellency Prime Minister Ivan Goremekin, Germany will try its best to help Russia deal with it! But we are not sure whether it will be effective!" Prime Minister Holweg said!  He knew that when China and the Austro-Hungarian Empire both expressed toughness, Germany would not completely oppose China and the Austro-Hungarian Empire because of Russia. This was also detrimental to Germany!

    "Your Excellency, Prime Minister Holweg, do you know what the specific conditions proposed by China and Austria-Hungary are?" Russian Foreign Minister Izvorsky asked.

    ¡°China demands that Russia cede the Siberian Plain and the territory east of the Volga River to China! The Austro-Hungarian Empire demands that Russia cede to them the Russian territory that originally belonged to Poland, as well as the territories of Belarus and Ukraine! The Ottoman Turkish Empire demands the entire Caucasus region.  The Kingdom of Romania hopes to get Moldova! In addition, there are huge war reparations! The Austro-Hungarian Empire requires Russia to pay a total of 5 billion Chinese yuan in war reparations. The Chinese have lowered their standards a little, demanding a war reparations of 3 billion Chinese yuan.  ! In the end, the Austro-Hungarian Empire agreed to China¡¯s plan, and the total war reparations were set at three billion yuan!¡± said German Foreign Minister Stresemann!

    "Oh God! Are they going to completely destroy Russia?" Prime Minister Ivan Goremekin and Russian Foreign Minister Izvorsky both exclaimed!  If Russia agrees to these conditions, it will be equivalent to the destruction of the country!  Russia would lose half of its territory.  And the war compensation of up to 3 billion Chinese dollars is enough for the entire Russia to pay for a hundred years!

    "Unfortunately, China and the Austro-Hungarian Empire do intend to destroy Russia! If the time hadn't been ripe now, they might have taken action directly!" said Prime Minister Holweg!

    "Your Excellency, Prime Minister Holweg, I hope that the German government can do its best to help Russia. Russia will not forget Germany's kindness!" Prime Minister Ivan Goremekin pleaded!

    Prime Minister Holweg nodded, but he was not sure whether it would be successful!

    Russian Prime Minister Ivan Goremekin and Foreign Minister Izvolsky left the German Embassy in China in despair. After returning to the Russian Embassy in China, they immediately sent the news back to Moscow to Tsar Nicholas II.  La II reports!

    It was still morning in Moscow at this moment, and Tsar Nicholas II had just woken up. While he was having breakfast, the palace guard presented the telegram sent back from China to Tsar Nicholas II.  After reading it, Nicholas II suddenly lost his appetite!

    "Damn it, what do they want to do? They want to destroy Russia tonight! Russia will never agree to such conditions. Even if Russia is destroyed, it will never compromise with them!" Tsar Nicholas  The second roared angrily.  His sudden anger scared the Russian Empress Alexandra Feodorovna and their children so much that they all looked at Nicholas II in horror!  (To be continued.
