Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The night of October 21st was destined to be a sleepless night for the diplomatic missions from various countries participating in the Beijing Peace Conference!  Diplomats from various countries have begun secret contacts to ensure that their country's interests are protected during the peace conference that will be held tomorrow!  The Russian mission, in order to reduce the country's losses as much as possible, also launched active mediation!  However, for the victorious countries, except Germany, everyone hopes to plunder as many benefits as possible from Russia, which makes the Russians' diplomatic efforts almost ineffective!

    At the same time, the connection of the victorious countries has also attracted the attention of Germany!  In the current peace conference, it is almost impossible for Germany to try to favor Russia on its own!  Germany is not the most powerful country in the world, China is much more powerful than Germany!  In addition, Germany's staunch ally, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, is completely opposite to Germany's opinions on this issue, which makes Germany's behavior very much like mantis trying to control the car!

    "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, this is the latest news we have received! Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi held a secret meeting for more than an hour with the Austrian-Hungarian Empire's mission in the Austro-Hungarian Empire's Embassy in China. However, we  There is no way to know the specific content of the talks. After that, the Austro-Hungarian Empire sent people to contact the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Kingdom of Bulgaria and the Kingdom of Romania. We have reason to believe that this is a series of negotiations between the countries for tomorrow! Obviously, the empire has a strong interest in Russia  This attitude has caused dissatisfaction among various countries! If this continues, it will be very detrimental to the empire!" said August von Klind, the German Ambassador to China!

    "Damn it, do they want to put the empire aside? If they don't get recognition from the empire, there is no way they can sign a peace treaty with Russia!" German Prime Minister Holweg said angrily!  This feeling of being deliberately left aside makes them very dissatisfied!

    "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, now the empire's strength has no upper hand against China and the Austro-Hungarian Empire! The empire's military power cannot defeat them! If they continue to remain tough, then the empire may not be able to stop them!" Germany  Foreign Minister Stresemann said with some worry!  Obviously, Germany's current behavior is completely against the entire victorious group. This is very unwise!  Even if Germany does this for future planning, it is extremely uneconomical if it offends other victorious countries!

    "Your Excellency Prime Minister, this is a very big threat to the empire! Once this brings China, Austria-Hungary and other countries closer and closer, it will be even more difficult for the empire to challenge China!" German Embassy in China  Ambassador August von Klind said.  Germany is already worse than China. If China is allowed to unite with other countries, Germany will have no chance of winning!

    "Do you mean to sit back and watch Russia be seriously weakened? If Russia is seriously weakened, then Russia will not be able to play the important role of assisting the empire! What we need is a strong Russia, not a weak Russia!  Prime Minister Holweg said with a frown!

    "Your Excellency Prime Minister, a strong Russia is indeed beneficial to the empire! However, if the empire is isolated, it will be very detrimental to us! At least for a long time in the future, we still need to cooperate with China and other allies.  Countries maintain friendly relations!¡± Foreign Minister Stresemann reminded!

    "Well, let's make a judgment based on the specific situation at tomorrow's peace conference! If China, Austria-Hungary and other victorious countries are still very tough, we will take other measures!" Holweg had a headache.  Said!  The current situation is indeed very difficult for Germany to handle!  The rigorous Germans are accustomed to using strength to speak for themselves.  However, when their strength is inferior to others, they have discovered that diplomacy is of little use!  Facing the joint pressure from China and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, this put great pressure on Germany!

    At 9:30 in the morning on October 22, the peace meeting will continue.  This peace conference is still discussing Russia's disposal plan!  However, at this peace conference, representatives from all countries were smiling, and the eyes of representatives from the Kingdom of Romania were filled with joy.  This made the German representatives who were aware of this situation look unhappy.  They believe that this undoubtedly means that the other victorious countries have reached an agreement separately from Germany!  If Germany continues to insist on favoring Russia, it might really be completely isolated!

    "Everyone, during yesterday's talks, we had very different opinions on how to deal with Russia! Now that armies from various countries are stationed in Russia, the daily consumption is an astronomical figure! Therefore, we hope that in today's talks,  Reach a consensus! The interests of all victorious countries are the same and should be guaranteed. They cannot harm the interests of all victorious countries for their own selfish interests!" Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang said in a deep voice!

    ? ?Of course, after listening to Wu Tingfang's words, German Prime Minister Holweg and Foreign Minister Stresemann looked a little gloomy!

    "China proposes to deal with Russia harshly! We hope to obtain the Siberian Plain and the territory east of the Volga River! The Austro-Hungarian Empire obtains the territory of southern Poland, Belarus and Ukraine in western Russia! Germany obtains the territory of northern Poland and the Baltic Sea coast. Ottoman Turkey  The empire obtained the territory south of the Volga and Don rivers, including the Caucasus! The Kingdom of Romania obtained the territory of Moldova! In addition, Russia will pay a total of three billion yuan in war reparations to the victorious countries! Among this part of the reparations, China received  Thirty-five percent, Austria-Hungary gets 30 percent! Germany gets 18 percent, the Ottoman Empire gets 8 percent! The Kingdom of Bulgaria gets 7 percent, and the Kingdom of Romania gets 2 percent!  If everyone has no objections to this, then the plan to deal with Russia will be implemented as follows! In addition, Russia will be given strict restrictions on armaments! Russia is not allowed to establish a navy and air force, and the army will only retain 100,000 people! If Russia breaks through  This restriction is tantamount to declaring war on all countries!" Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang said!

    German Prime Minister Holweg and Foreign Minister Stresemann were livid. They were about to rebut, but other countries had already spoken one after another!

    "The Austro-Hungarian Empire supports this proposal! This disposal plan is completely in line with the interests of the victorious countries!" Mario Weber, Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was the first to respond!  This will nearly triple the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. At the same time, war reparations worth 900 million yuan will relieve the financial pressure of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to a great extent!

    "The Ottoman Turkish Empire agrees with this proposal! The interests of each victorious country are guaranteed in this disposal plan! The most important thing is that the Russians have been punished as they deserve! This will help maintain world peace in the future!"  Enver Pasha, Prime Minister of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, said immediately following the words of Mario Weber, Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire!

    ¡°The Kingdom of Bulgaria agrees with China¡¯s proposal!¡± Vasily Radoslavov of the Kingdom of Bulgaria also said!  Because the Kingdom of Bulgaria does not border Russia, and the Kingdom of Bulgaria is relatively weak, this prevents them from occupying an enclave far away from their own land!  However, receiving 7% of the total war compensation, which is equivalent to 210 million yuan, has made them very satisfied!

    ¡°The Kingdom of Romania supports this proposal!¡± Titus Liviu Mayorescu, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Romania, also expressed his attitude!  Being able to obtain Moldova and receive a war compensation of 60 million yuan has made the Kingdom of Romania very satisfied!  Compared with the negligible losses they paid in this world war, the benefits are already very generous!

    The successive statements of various countries made German Prime Minister Holweg and Foreign Minister Stresemann look so gloomy that they could drip water!  Although they had expected that the consequences would be very serious, now it seems that the consequences are still much more serious than they expected!  On the issue of dealing with Russia, all countries have put aside Germany and reached a consensus!  This made them feel a huge crisis. Once Germany was isolated by other countries, it would be very difficult for Germany's hegemony to succeed!

    "Germany is opposed to this proposal! Moreover, Germany is very dissatisfied with the way you have reached an agreement privately and ignored Germany! Germany is also one of the victorious countries this time. In order to achieve this victory, Germany paid a huge price! If  If other countries want to leave Germany alone, this is something the German government will never agree to! Germany will not sign this contract!" German Prime Minister Hollweger said with a dark face!

    Representatives from various countries started talking one after another.  Germany's tough attitude seems to have exceeded their expectations!  Originally, everyone thought that Germany would choose the default when the deal was already done!  Don't they know that if they do this, they will offend all other countries?

    Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang frowned. The Germans were so stubborn that they undoubtedly added a lot of variables to this peace conference!  If the Germans really refuse to sign the treaty, then the legal effect of the treaty formed by this peace conference will be much smaller!  Although treaties often do not impose great constraints on major powers, at least they can be regarded as a fig leaf!

    "If Germany refuses to sign the treaty, then the other five countries will sign without Germany! If Germany does not recognize the treaty and deliberately breaks the treaty, this will be regarded as a declaration of war on China!" A voice suddenly sounded in the venue.  !  (To be continued.
