"Your Majesty, the French have surrendered unconditionally to the Germans! The British Expeditionary Force is retreating towards the Normandy Peninsula! However, the 1st Army Corps of the German Army was pursuing them! The Germans have already won the victory on the Western Front! "Minister of National Defense Jiang Xingguo told the Emperor Wang Yuze!

"The unconditional surrender of the French to the Germans? We protest to the Germans that according to the contract we signed at the beginning, no country can make peace with the Entente alone! Although our troops did not land in France, we did fight the French in the Battle of Sicily! They don't want to leave us out! Wang Yuze said with some dissatisfaction. Although, Germany dominates France, this is already a foregone conclusion. However, China will not let Germany occupy the whole of France so lightly!

"Your Majesty, I think we should take Corsica right away! Corsica is only 170 kilometers from the south of France and 270 kilometers from Marseille. If our next-generation fighters are deployed in Corsica, they can completely blockade the entire southern part of France, and if the Germans want to use the southern part of France to enter the Mediterranean, it is absolutely delusional! And, together with the islands of Sicily, Sardinia, the Balearic Islands and the Maltese Islands that we now occupy, we will form a solid line of defense against Europe throughout the Mediterranean! "Navy Minister Zhang Chengjian said! According to the original agreement between China and Germany, China was to withdraw from Europe after the war. However, it now seems that China no longer intends to follow the original agreement. Well, build a strong line of defense on the Mediterranean. It will be very useful for the future struggle with Germany!

"The French did not have any troops in Corsica. One regiment from the Marines is enough to take the entire island! Wang Yuze said. He acquiesced to the construction of the Navy Minister Zhang Cheng. After all, Corsica isn't big, but if you can grab it, that's good!

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will let the 8th Marine Division do its best to land on Corsica!" Navy Minister Zhang Cheng said!

"Your Majesty, there are two main things that are most important in front of us right now. One is that the Battle of the Siberian Plain is over, and after the surrender of Grand Duke Nicholas, we have already achieved victory! Moreover, the most elite units of the Russian army have also been wiped out by us! Next, Marshal Cai Yun will lead the army to march towards the European part of Russia. And, with the Germans victorious on the Western Front, their main forces will certainly be transferred to the Eastern European Plain, and we must do our best! The second is the question of landing in the British Isles. The Italian operation is over, the 7th Army will remain in Italy, and the operational plan for the landing on the British Isles will be completed by the 2nd Army and the 8th Army! There is intelligence to prove it. The British were already secretly in contact with the Germans, if the British also surrendered to Germany. Then our plans will be affected! War Minister Zhao Bowen reminded. France's unconditional surrender to Germany made the upper echelons of the Reich very wary. After all, the Western world still has a very great resistance to the Empire, and they would rather surrender to the Germans than to the Empire!

"That's a problem! Marshal Cai Yun, let him march to the European part of Russia as much as possible, we need to grab territory with the Germans! Even if Russia surrenders to Russia, we will occupy as many areas as possible, and if the Russians dare to resist, then destroy them! In the same way, if the Germans or people from other countries dare to stop us, they will be just as unkind to them! The plan to land on the British Isles was also immediately implemented, with the Indian Ocean Fleet and the Home Fleet striking at the British Navy, seizing sea supremacy south of the English Channel, and then covering the landing of the 2nd and 8th Armies. Wang Yuze said. China had to resist the Chinese invasion by preventing Russia and Britain from capitulating to Germany. The only way for China to do this is to preemptively strike and create a fait accompli!

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Zhao Bowen, Minister of War, Marshal Zhang Cheng, Minister of the Navy, and Marshal Jiang Xingguo, Minister of National Defense, all received orders. The Empire's war planes are already running at full speed, and a strong military is an important guarantee to ensure the interests of the Empire. If the Western world wants to confront China, it is absolutely impossible! Even if it is China's ally Germany, China will try its best to weaken Germany as much as possible to ensure that China will achieve the status of world hegemon after the war!

France's unconditional surrender to Germany made the Allies' defeat in this war a foregone conclusion! Russia's elite troops had been completely annihilated in the Battle of the Siberian Plain, and the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled could not withstand the attack of China and the Allies. As for the British, their mighty navy is a thing of the past, and the waters around the British Isles will not be able to stop the British enemy's attack, and this time, the flames of war will once again burn on the British mainland!

At 5 p.m. on June 8, Beijing time, Emperor Wang Yuze issued a battle plan to march to Russia and Europe and land on the British Isles! The army began to cross the Ural River and the Ural Mountains and march into the Eastern European Plain. The Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet and Home Fleet also began to march towards the English Channel, preparing to completely destroy the British Navy, gain sea supremacy in the waters south of the English Channel, and cover the landing of the army!

Moscow, the Kremlin, the atmosphere is very depressing. Since the surrender of Grand Duke Nicholas to the squadron, the whole of Moscow and even the whole of Russia have been in a gloomy cloud! The Russian troops in the Siberian Plain are the last elite units of the Russian army, and these elite troops have been wiped out, so that Russia's military strength has suffered heavy losses. There is no doubt that Russia has no hope of victory in this war!

Tsar Nicholas II had a very short temper in the past two days, and the surrender of Grand Duke Nicholas made him very angry, although he knew that Grand Duke Nicholas was forced to do this, but he still couldn't accept it in his heart. Perhaps, he is unwilling to face another fiasco!

"Your Majesty, the latest battle report, the Chinese army has begun to attack Orenburg, they are coming to the Eastern European Plain! The commander of Orenburg asked for reinforcements, we had less than 200,000 troops there, but we had to face more than a million elite Chinese troops! War Secretary Kuropatkin said with a panicked expression.

"Sue them, we don't have any extra troops now! Let them hold Orenburg to the death! Tsar Nicholas II said with a dark face. Russia, once known as a steam roller, is now in decline. This made Tsar Nicholas II very sad, the originally powerful Russia under his rule, constantly declining, and now there is a danger of being destroyed, which is difficult for him to accept!

Kuropatkin opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say much. If he did not send reinforcements to Orenburg, the Orenburg commander would definitely lead the army directly to surrender to the Chinese. Everyone already knows that Russia has lost the possibility of victory, and there is no need to fight hard!

"Your Majesty, the German ambassador to Sweden has made contact with us. Kaiser Wilhelm II wanted us to surrender to Germany! The German government said that Germany would guarantee Russia's interests as much as possible! Foreign Minister Izvorsky said.

"William, what do you mean by that?" Nicholas II frowned.

"Your Majesty, now China and the Allies have won the world war! However, this will also further intensify the contradictions between China and Germany, and in order to compete for world hegemony, fierce conflicts and even world wars will definitely break out between the two countries! However, from now on, China has the upper hand! Therefore, Germany is looking for allies all over the world! Russia is, after all, a European country, and if we can turn to Germany, it will be very advantageous for Germany! "Prime Minister Ivan. Goremygin said.

"So, what did William ask for this time?" Nicholas II asked. The last time Russia took the initiative to make overtures to Germany, but Germany put forward quite harsh conditions!

"Your Majesty, the Germans demanded that we hand over the Baltic coast, Belarus and to the west, as well as the whole of Ukraine, to the Central Powers. Russia can keep the rest of the Eastern European Plain! Foreign Minister Izvorsky looked at Tsar Nicholas II and said with some trepidation.

"Damn William, he's really going to take advantage of the fire!" Nicholas II couldn't help but curse fiercely. It's just that he knows that the current defeat of Russia is already decided, and if it does not agree to the conditions of the Germans, then Russia will lose even more!

"So, what about the Chinese? How to deal with the Chinese? I think the Chinese will definitely not stop at the Ural Mountains and the Ural River! Tsar Nicholas II said.

The German side said that Germany and China had signed an agreement before, and China would withdraw from Europe after the war. When the time comes, Germany will ask China to abide by the agreement as much as possible! Izvorsky said.

Of course, no one took this agreement seriously, and if it were Russia, it would certainly not abide by it. However, there was no room for bargaining in Russia now, and if they did not accede to Germany's demands, they would have much more to lose.

"Alright! Agreeing to the demands of the Germans, we surrender to them! Tsar Nicholas II almost gritted his teeth and uttered these words. However, he did not completely give up in his heart, since China and Germany will have a conflict or even war in the future because of the struggle for world hegemony, maybe Russia will have a chance to rise at that time!
