readx;?“ Although the American and British offensive on the Eastern Front failed to defeat the main German forces on the Eastern Front, it kicked the Germans back into negotiations with China. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info This is also a surprise for us! When the news came that the Germans had requested the resumption of peace talks with Huaxia through a third party, Xu Jie realized that the time had finally come for the end to end. After so many years of hard work, it's time to settle their respective gains!

Judging from the current situation, China's gains are still very good, Iran, the two river basins and the Arabian Peninsula have been pocketed, and Turkey's submission is only a matter of events, China's sphere of influence has reached the borders of Europe, and no matter how hard you work, you can drop the bomb on the German mainland! A vast empire that controlled almost all of Asia already stood tall in the east of the world. Generally speaking, after taking control of the oil fields in the Middle East, Huaxia has completed the main task of this war. There is only a limit to the point of continuing to fight. For the current China, there are still two goals to be achieved, one is to dismember Austria-Hungary, and the other is to restore order in Italy! As long as Germany can relax on these two issues, China can completely achieve peace with the Allies!

"Don't we think about the situation in Eastern Europe? For example, the independence of Ukraine, and Russia's claim to Belarus. There are also Poland and the three Baltic states. "The Huaxia representative asked Xu Jie about the situation in Eastern Europe before leaving, and he did not pity the independence of those ethnic groups in Eastern Europe, but for another reason!

"I know what you mean, are you worried about Germany now or is it too strong? On paper, your argument seems plausible, that Germany still occupies all of Poland, the three Baltic states, and Belarus, and controls most of Ukraine. And even after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Germany could still cooperate with Austria. Hungary's attitude is also to be determined, 1 Germany before the war was much weaker than it is now, and it could draw Britain, the United States and France and kill Russia, so you think that the weakening of Germany is not enough, is that true? Xu Jie asked with a smile.

"There are things you can think about and plan things you can do, but you don't have to do it yourself. The wicked have already been done, so why should we come forward? The United States, Britain and Russia will help us do this, although theoretically after our armistice with Germany, Germany will be able to resist the Entente for at least two more years. But the Germans were not necessarily willing to fight. If the Entente were willing to guarantee Ukraine's apparent independence, then German concessions on the Eastern Front were also possible. Belarus will become the focus of contention between Russia and Germany! Leave nails on the Eastern Front, the Americans will do it for us. Xu Jie continued.

Even if China and Germany had achieved a strong fight, the war would not have ended quickly, and it took the United States and Britain several years to achieve their goal. How could it end? What's more, although Huaxia and Germany have achieved peace, it does not mean that Huaxia will help Germany against the Entente, nor does it mean that Germany can obtain materials and raw materials from Huaxia! Germany, which has already lost a lot of blood, will continue to bleed in this ongoing confrontation, and concessions in Eastern Europe are almost certain! And this result is also what the United States, Britain, Russia and China are willing to accept!

"There is no need for stability in Eastern Europe, we need to strengthen Russia to force Germany to side with us, but this matter can be left to Britain and the United States. As for the division of Austria-Hungary? Maybe it's Austria and Hungary, but it's also a bunch of scattered countries, who can say for sure? What's more, no matter what. Italy wants to get enough reparations from Austria! "Xu Jie also has plans for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it is unlikely that it will split into two countries, Hungary can be an independent country, but Austria itself is very likely to become three parts, one part is compensation for Italy, one part is the new Austria, and the other part is the Balkan part of Austria!

And just when Huaxia was making calculations, the German top level was also preparing for the upcoming negotiations, but unlike Huaxia, the German top level did not even form a unified opinion! The Kaiser insisted on guaranteeing the territorial integrity of Austria-Hungary. This meant that Austria-Hungary would not be divided, and Italy would not be able to receive compensation from Austria-Hungary, an opinion that was simply impossible in the eyes of the German military leadership.

"In a life-or-death moment. We must proceed from our own interests, and if the empire continues to fight, there is only one way to collapse! Do not forget that the Baltic states and Belarus are predominantly Slavic, and the Poles are no less restless. We can only maintain stability at home, and we cannot help Austria-Hungary, even with our help. The collapse of Austria-Hungary is also only a matter of time, and we cannot deal with Hungary in the same way we treat the enemy! What's more, Huaxia is not far from Austria-Hungary! According to intelligence, Turkey will surrender in half a month! Kruger said calmly.

"So what is the end for Turkey?" Wilhelm II asked.

"The area along the Red Sea coast of Turkey will be under Chinese control, part of the territory of the eastern Mediterranean coast (Syria and Jordan) will be determined, and the two river basins and other territories that originally belonged to Turkey will be brought under Chinese control." Kruger replied. This result is acceptable for Turkey, because it is basically a demarcation on the spot. It is impossible for Huaxia to spit out the places that have already been occupied, and the areas carved out from the areas under the existing control of Turkey are not large, and Huaxia just wants some footholds. Iran, on the other hand, has restored its original territory and even made small acquisitions from the Transcaucasus.

The seemingly unrelated issue actually reveals a lot of information, Huaxia has solved Turkey, the next target is Austria-Hungary, the Germans must come up with a plan as soon as possible, which is why the German military top brass asked themselves to agree to their plan in an almost coercive way, right?

"If we abandon Austria-Hungary, then henceforth the Empire will not have a single ally to rely on, and we will be someone else's partner rather than a master! Instead of that, let's fight to the death! "Wilhelm II was still very radical at times, and when faced with an almost irreparable situation, he would rather fight to the death than back down. The last Kaiser offensive launched by the Germans in history is one such example, which consumed the last elite of the German Empire, and this time, it seems, he wants to repeat this scene!

"Even if the Austro-Hungarian Empire is divided, they still have the potential to become our allies, at least Austria is very likely, although China is strong, but it is too far away from us, we need a respite, the resources we currently control are still stronger than the empire during the 1st war, as long as there is time, everything lost will come back! Raeder on the side also persuaded.

"Shut up! The navy disappoints me so much, the empire builds a strong navy not to look good, but to be a sword for the expansion of the empire! And in the end, we bought your fleet at the cost of losing an ally! And now, you want to deprive the Empire of its most loyal ally! It's a crime! You should be court-martialed! "The Kaiser was furious in the face of the Admiral!

"You can't insult more than 100,000 officers and men of the Navy who have sacrificed their lives for the Empire!" The Kaiser's gaffe caused some confusion in the scene, and Raeder naturally could not tolerate the emperor's insult to the navy. The tension in the venue skyrocketed!

"Your Majesty, are you sure that you will stick to your policy towards Austria-Hungary?" Kruger waited until his colleagues dissuaded the admiral and asked the emperor one last question.

"Never change!" The emperor's unexpected stubbornness made everything irreparable, and the rift between the military and the emperor had reached an extent that it was difficult to bridge. And after a short silence, Kruger and other military representatives left the venue silently, and at the moment of opening the door, Kruger said a word to end an era!

"Your Majesty, the army does not support you!" A few simple words announced the end of an era, these words were like a bolt from the blue, and the scene of 1918 was recreated at this moment, but the characters in it were changed!

"We are saving Germany, and God and the people will forgive us!" Kruger comforted himself in this way, and with the last stumbling block in Germany being removed, the peace talks between Germany and China finally kicked off, and the two sides held a series of discussions on the future, even including the situation in the Eastern European battlefield! During the talks, the two sides had difficult negotiations on every important issue. Although the German military expressed its willingness to negotiate peace and did want peace, they were also desperate to protect their existing interests!

"General Tycho can return to China, even to govern Italy, we can sign a peace agreement with Italy, and even give some compensation, but the territorial demand is impossible to accept! We will not interfere in disputes within our allies, but we must not betray the interests of our allies. Ribbentrop said, shaking his head.

"It seems that in the First World War, Austria-Hungary paid part of its territory in exchange for Italy's entry into the war, and today, Austria-Hungary will be a thing of the past, and as long as your country can provide some help, then you can turn a former enemy into a friend, what a good business? Italy, as China's most loyal ally, should be compensated by the enemy after years of occupation! What's more, there are places that you can control, but there are places, for example, Austrian territory in the Balkans that you can't effectively control, right? It won't be long before we will confront your country in the Balkans, and if necessary, we will go back and get it! Mei Ruxuan's words were full of threats! Huaxia, backed by a strong military force, naturally has the confidence to say so! The Germans still do not recognize the situation, and since this is the case, then a military threat is necessary!
