On the issue of the struggle for Belarus, with the mediation of China, Germany and Austria-Hungary finally agreed to the Chinese side. With Minsk as a boundary, the north belonged to Germany, and the south to Austria-Hungary! Such a division made both countries rush to satisfaction! However, Germany's demand for 30 percent of the total war reparations paid by Russia has made many countries, including China, dissatisfied! In the previous disposition plan proposed by China, Germany received only 18 percent of the total war reparations, but now it has been increased by 12 percent, which will undoubtedly reduce the proportion obtained by other countries! Obviously, no country would want to have its own war reparations reduced!

"Chancellor Holwig, thirty percent of the war reparations received by Germany is too much! In China's opinion, eighteen percent is already enough! Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang said!

"Prime Minister Ng Dinh Phuong, during the war, the Russian army invaded East Prussia, causing huge civilian casualties and human losses to our country. As a result, a large part of the war reparations received this time were to be used to settle the German people who had suffered losses. Thirty percent of the share, with Germany's contribution to this war against Russia, is not much! German Chancellor Holwig insisted!

Although in this world war, Germany's center of gravity has always been on the Western Front! But in the early days of the war, on the Eastern Front they played a great role! At the beginning of the war, the Austro-Hungarian army was defeated by the Russian army. If it weren't for the timely attack of the Germans. Repelled the Russian army. And if it caused huge casualties to the Russian army, I am afraid that Austria-Hungary would have been invaded by the Russian army a long time ago! Therefore, the German government believed that they deserved thirty percent of the war reparations paid by Russia!

Next, the parties had a long discussion on the distribution of war reparations paid by Russia! No one is willing to give up their imminent wealth. Especially a few small countries, they would have received not much war reparations, if they were reduced a little. Undoubtedly, they received less war reparations! Therefore, even if there were concessions, only China and Austria-Hungary would make concessions!

Eventually, the controversy continued until noon before there was a definite outcome. The new war reparations were distributed to China 32 percent, Austria-Hungary 28 percent, Germany 23 percent, Ottoman Turkey 8 percent, Bulgaria 7 percent, and Romania 2 percent. By this time. Only then did the victorious powers reach a complete agreement. Then the next step is to have a showdown with the Russian delegates. Let them sign the peace treaty and thus put an end to the peace conference with Russia!

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the negotiations began again! Russian Prime Minister Ivan. Goremygin and Foreign Minister Izvorsky also took part in this negotiation! It's just that the two of them are in a very heavy mood! Both knew that when the two of them could participate in the negotiations, it would be time for the victorious powers to resolve their internal contradictions, reach an agreement, and then join forces to force Russia!

"Ivan. Your Excellency Goremykin, Your Excellency Izvorsky, after several days of discussion, we have worked out a plan for the disposition of Russia! In view of the crimes committed by Russia in this world war, several of us believe that Russia must make the following reparations in order to make up for the losses of various countries! The specific reparations are as follows: Russia ceded the Siberian Plain and the territory east of the Volga to China! Russia ceded to Austria-Hungary the southern part of western Russia, the territories south of Minsk in Belarus, and the territory of Ukraine! Russia ceded to Germany the territories of northern and eastern Poland, the northern part of Minsk in Belarus, and the Baltic coast. General South of the Volga and Don rivers, the territories, including the Caucasus, ceded to the Ottoman Turkish Empire! Cedion of Moldova to Romania! In terms of war reparations, Russia will pay war reparations totaling 3 billion Chinese dollars to the victorious countries! In addition, in order to maintain world peace, Russia's armaments in the future should be limited! The Russian army has built up a navy and air force, and the army can only keep 100,000 people, and cannot have heavy equipment such as tanks, armored vehicles, and heavy artillery! The existing ships of the Navy will also be handed over to the victorious country in full! If there is no problem, then you can sign the peace treaty! Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang said! The treaty with Russia was undoubtedly the most important thing in this peace conference! Because the countries that are fighting against Russia are the most involved, and the interests involved are also the most, it is not an easy task to satisfy the interests of all countries!

"Your Excellency Prime Minister Ng Dinh Phuong, Russia will not accept such a harsh treaty! If such a treaty had been signed, Russia would have been no different from the destruction of the country! "Ivan. Prime Minister Goremykin said with a gaffe!

"Now Russia has no choice! If Russia does not agree, then it means that the war will continue, and we will completely destroy Russia! At that time, Russia will lose the possibility of cospiting itself as an independent state! "The Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Mario. Webber said sternly! In his opinion, such a treaty, although somewhat harsh, is already cheap for Russia!

"Ah......" Ivan. Prime Minister Goremykin's face was flushed, he wanted to refute, but he didn't know what to say! Now Russia is already under military occupation by various countries, and if all countries really want to destroy Russia recklessly, Russia will not be able to resist at all! Ivan. Prime Minister Goremykin looked at German Chancellor Holwig for help. However, Prime Minister Holwig gave him a helpless expression, which made Ivan . Prime Minister Goremykin's mood sank further to the bottom!

"Russia, as the defeated country this time, should take responsibility! However, such conditions are too harsh! Russian Foreign Minister Izvorsky hurriedly said! If the talks collapse completely, it will not benefit Russia at all!

The representatives of the victorious powers deliberated with each other for a moment, and then asked: "And what if Russia has objections to those terms?" "It also became clear to everyone that as long as the Russians were not fools, they would not accept the conditions put forward by the victorious countries in their entirety!

"In terms of territory, if Russia loses these territories, we will directly lose half of the territory! This is unacceptable to the Russian government! Foreign Minister Izvorsky said.

The two sides once again debated the territorial issue, and in the end, German Chancellor Holwig was the first to say that Germany could give up its territorial claims on the Baltic coast! Since Germany had already made a start, although this made China and Austria-Hungary a little dissatisfied, they still had to make certain concessions in order for the negotiations to continue! Among them, Austria-Hungary abandoned the territories east of the Dnieper in Ukraine. China also gave up the territories north of the upper Volga and Cherny! In addition, the Ottoman Turkish Empire also gave up the territories north of the Greater Caucasus Mountains! After all the countries made huge concessions, the Russian representatives had to temporarily agree to the territorial disposition! In this case, the European part of Russia has already retained a large part, and the losses are not very severe!

"Ladies and gentlemen, Russia simply cannot afford the war reparations of three billion Chinese dollars! Russia's finances have long since collapsed, and it is no longer able to repay these war reparations! Therefore, the Russian side hopes to be able to reduce the amount of war reparations a little! "Russian Prime Minister Ivan. Goremygin said.

The Russians certainly wanted to pay less, but the victorious powers wanted to get as much out of Russia as possible! In the end, the total amount of war reparations was positioned at two billion Chinese dollars, of which, next year, Russia will pay one billion Chinese dollars in a lump sum, and the remaining war reparations will be paid in ten years! Although Russia's finances have gone bankrupt, there are also a lot of rich people in Russia, plus the wealth of the royal family is also a lot, and the mines in Russia and the like are used as collateral, and it is not a big problem to pay one billion Chinese dollars next year!

Finally, the Russian side wants to bargain over arms limitations. However, this point was sternly rejected by China and Austria-Hungary! The Russians are a fighting race by nature, and if they let go of their armament restrictions, they will undoubtedly be asking for trouble for themselves! The Russian delegates saw that this could not be changed, so they had to give up!

At 10 o'clock in the morning of the next day, China, Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Kingdom of Bulgaria and the Kingdom of Romania, as representatives of the victorious powers, signed the peace treaty with representatives of the Russian side! This means that Russia's disposal plan will come into force from now on! The armies of various countries will be withdrawn from Russia one after another after paying the first war reparations next year!

According to this peace treaty, Russia lost forty percent of its territory and half of its population! Even if those Russians were willing to move back home, the total population of Russia would fall to about 70 million. Coupled with the huge war reparations, it will put a heavy pressure on Russia's back! The restrictions on armaments have tied Russia's hands even more, making Russia's influence greatly reduced! At the same time, this also made Russia very dissatisfied with China and other victorious countries, and the seeds of hatred were planted in Russia's heart!

After the signing of the peace treaty, Russia was finally saved, despite the huge price! This relieved Tsar Nicholas II. However, this also made him even more hostile to China and other countries in his heart! Nicholas II secretly swore that when the time came for the next war, Russia would definitely take revenge!
