Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After the door of the venue was opened, the Chinese Crown Prince Wang Zirui walked into the venue with a serious face. By his side, he was accompanied by the Archduke Ferdinand of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Sultan Mohammed V of the Ottoman Turkish Empire!

    ¡°Austro-Hungary supports the Chinese government¡¯s decision on this issue!¡± Archduke Ferdinand also said coldly!  The Germans continued to favor Russia, which made the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which had always wanted to kill Russia, very dissatisfied.  Now that China is taking the lead, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will certainly not miss this opportunity!  After all, although the Austro-Hungarian Empire is not as powerful as Germany, but with China's support, there is no need to fear Germany!

    ¡°The Ottoman Turkish Empire also supports China¡¯s decision!¡± said Sultan Mohammed V of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.  In the past two hundred years, the Ottoman Turkish Empire and Russia have fought ten Russian-Turkish wars!  During this period, the Ottoman Turkish Empire always lost more than it won and lost large tracts of territory.  This time, with the help of the power of China and the Allied Powers, they were finally able to defeat Russia, a life-and-death enemy. Naturally, they would not let go of this opportunity to trample Russia under their feet!  The more Russia's strength is weakened, the less pressure the Ottoman Turkish Empire will face in the future.

    Three crown princes and emperors suddenly entered the venue and expressed their views on behalf of their respective countries, which aroused discussions among representatives from various countries!  However, except for the German representatives, the representatives from other countries were all smiling.  After all, this means that the attitudes of these countries have been very clear. If Germany continues to object, then they may really leave Germany and go it alone!

    German Prime Minister Holweg and Foreign Minister Stresemann¡¯s faces were ashen, and the sudden situation caught them off guard!  Except for Germany, the other five victorious countries seem to have united together. This is not good news for Germany!  In addition, the tough attitudes of China, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Turkish Empire were somewhat beyond their expectations!  Under such circumstances, if Germany continues to remain tough, it is very likely that Germany will be isolated, and the conflict between the two parties may even lead to the outbreak of war!  And Germany obviously does not have the strength to face so many countries alone!

    Prime Minister Holweg took a deep breath, calmed down the anger in his heart, and then said: "Everyone, I have no power to make a decision on this issue. I hope that the meeting can be temporarily adjourned until I ask for instructions from the country.  , and then give a specific answer!¡±

    "Okay, then we will temporarily adjourn today! However, China hopes that the German government can make the right choice and not become an enemy of the whole world!" Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang warned!  If Germany continues to disregard the interests of other countries for its own interests, it will completely turn Germany into the opposite of other countries.  Wu Tingfang believes that the Germans would not have made such a choice unless their brains were caught in the door!

    The meeting on October 22 ended in nothing!  German Prime Minister Holweger and Foreign Minister Stresemann were the first to leave the venue.  The two of them need to report the accident that occurred at the peace conference to the country as soon as possible!  Representatives from other countries at the venue were already chatting with each other with smiles on their faces.  This is undoubtedly a victory for them!  After all countries unite, they have defeated the German conspiracy!  Although, everyone is not really united, they are just temporarily united for common interests.  But that's enough!  After forcing Germany to compromise this time, all countries will be able to gain huge benefits!  At the same time, it will also cause tension in the relations between various countries and Germany, which is undoubtedly what China is very happy to see!

    At four o¡¯clock in the morning on October 22, Berlin time, the study of Kaiser Wilhelm II in the Konlu Palace was still brightly lit.  Kaiser Wilhelm II, Minister of War and Chief of the General Staff Field Marshal Falkenhayn, and Minister of the Navy Field Marshal Tirpitz were discussing the difficulties Germany was now facing.

    William II¡¯s face was ashen. After receiving the telegram from Beijing, he urgently summoned the Minister of War and the Minister of the Navy despite the fact that it was already early in the morning.  After the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary went to Beijing to attend the Peace Conference, there were not many people with whom he could discuss state affairs!  The telegrams sent back by Prime Minister Holweg and Foreign Minister Stresemann made Wilhelm II very angry!  This time, Germany was actually forced by several other victorious countries, led by China and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This made him feel as if he had been greatly humiliated!

    "Your Majesty, I think we should change our strategy! We safeguard Russia's interests, but offend other victorious countries. This is very unfavorable for Germany! In terms of Germany's overall strength, there is currently no guarantee  We can defeat China! Even if the benefits gained in this war are digested in a few years, it will be the same! If we want to confront China, we need to win over other countries! Of course Russia isWe must win over countries, but other countries cannot give up!  Especially the victors of this world war cannot be allowed to fall to China!  "Marshal Tirpitz, Minister of the Navy, said! Now, the main force of the Chinese Navy is still conducting exercises in the North Sea, and the German Navy has also sent some ships to participate in the exercises. If the conflicts between the two sides intensify, it will undoubtedly increase the possibility of war between the two countries.  sex!

    Wilhelm II had some hesitations. Russia¡¯s population of hundreds of millions and huge military resources are a very important part of Germany¡¯s future strategy!  If Russia is seriously weakened, then Russia's role will be much smaller!  China has undoubtedly seen this, so it is trying every possible means to weaken Russia!

    "Your Majesty, I also believe that we cannot stand against all the victorious countries now! In this case, it will be very detrimental to the future situation of the empire! Russia has a population of hundreds of millions. Even after dividing these territories, there will still be  With a population of 50 million! Among them, at least three million troops can be armed! Moreover, after this peace conference, Russia¡¯s resentment towards China and the Austro-Hungarian Empire will inevitably deepen. As long as we give the Russians  With enough support, they can unleash a combat power that will amaze us! Therefore, I think the most important thing is to sign a peace treaty as soon as possible, end this war, and then devote all their energy to the construction of the country!" Army  Marshal Falkenhayn, Minister and Chief of the General Staff, suggested!

    William II thought for a few seconds and finally nodded.  People under the eaves have to bow their heads!  Of course he wants to protect Russia's interests as much as possible, but in the face of oppression from other countries, Germany has no choice!  After all, it is not cost-effective to harm Germany's interests for the sake of Russia's interests!

    "Someone, send a telegram to Prime Minister Holweg and ask them to change their stance at tomorrow's peace conference! However, if possible, we should try to make the Russians pay as little loss as possible! In addition, Germany's interests are not  Can suffer losses!" William II said!  Since all countries are trying their best to gain benefits from Russia, Germany obviously cannot lag behind!  Since we cannot favor Russia, satisfying our own interests first is undoubtedly the most important thing!

    On October 23, the peace conference was held again.  Everyone is full of confidence in the peace conference held today.  Everyone believes that the victorious countries should be able to reach an agreement at today's peace conference!  The next step is to negotiate with the Russian representatives and force them to accept the conditions proposed by the victorious country!  Under absolute force oppression, Russia seemed to have no other choice besides accepting the victorious country's proposal!  This means that the interests of all countries can be guaranteed!  Russia's compensation will allow all countries to reap huge rewards in this war!

    "Everyone, the meeting is about to begin! Do you have any questions about the plan to deal with Russia?" Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang asked?  The main target of his inquiry was the German representative. Representatives from other countries had already reached an agreement!

    "Ahem! Everyone, the German side has some opinions, and I hope they can be adopted!" German Prime Minister Holweg coughed and then said.

    "Germany, as one of the victorious countries that defeated Russia, also paid a huge price for this! Therefore, the German government believes that in addition to Russia ceding northern and eastern Poland and the Baltic Sea coast to Germany, Belarus should also be ceded to Germany! In addition, Russia should cede Belarus to Germany!  , of the war reparations paid by Russia, Germany should receive 30%!" Prime Minister Hollweg said!

    "Belarus belongs to the Austro-Hungarian Empire! No one can take it away!" Mario Weber, Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, said angrily!

    "Germany paid a huge price in this war. Northern and eastern Poland and the Baltic Sea coast alone are not enough to make up for Germany's losses. Belarus is also very necessary! The Austro-Hungarian Empire has obtained the entire Ukraine  Yes, this is already a very good harvest!" said German Foreign Minister Stresemann.  Ukraine is the granary of Russia and a famous grain-producing area around the world. The Austro-Hungarian Empire's acquisition of Ukraine will undoubtedly enable them to completely and fundamentally solve the food crisis.

    "Regarding the issue of Belarus, otherwise, Germany and Ukraine would be half divided, with Minsk as the border, the north belongs to Germany, and the south belongs to the Austro-Hungarian Empire! There is no need to affect the relationship between us for a little bit of territory!"  Wu Tingfang said.  Now that Germany has changed its stance and started to abide by the rules of the game, everyone is happy!  (To be continued.
