Chapter 926: The Harshest Armistice Conditions in History
British Prime Minister Herbert? Henry? Asquith hesitated for a long time, or did he decide to accept the new British War Secretary Gary? Cahill's suggestion was to make contact with the Chinese Empire and ask if it was possible for the Chinese Empire to end the war, or if the British Empire could withdraw from the war on its own. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, the British Empire has been the world hegemon for many years, and sometimes the face has to be taken into account, if Britain itself secretly reached an agreement with the Chinese Empire and withdrew from the war, then Britain would be too embarrassed in front of European countries, so British Prime Minister Herbert? Henry? Asquith secretly sent a secret telegram to France and Germany, asking whether France and Germany had any idea of ending the war, and if there was an idea of withdrawing from the war, Britain, France and Germany could talk to the Chinese Empire together.
In the office of the president of the Elysée Palace in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, France, French President Armand? Fallier received a message from British Prime Minister Herbert? Henry? After Asquith's secret telegram, he sent the French Minister of the Admiralty, Gomis, the Minister of the Air Force, Philippe Paul, and the new Minister of the War Boris? Dio came over, and immediately told the three high-ranking members of the French army that Britain was going to take the initiative to contact the Chinese Empire.
President Armand? Fallier asked in a deep voice, "What do you think of the British's proposal?" ”
Admiralty Minister Gomis then said: "President, the situation in various battlefields is getting worse and worse for our League of Nations, if we can end this war, I believe that many countries in the League of Nations will raise their hands in agreement, I think it is very necessary to contact the Chinese Empire!" ”
Minister of the Air Force Philippe Paul frowned and said: "If you go to contact the Chinese Empire at this time, the emperor of the Chinese Empire will definitely put forward very harsh conditions, and I believe that many countries in the League of Nations will not agree, such as Russia." ”
Boris, the new Minister of the War Department? Dior coughed and said: "In fact, after the fiasco of the Ural War, our League of Nations has little chance of winning in this war, and it is best to completely end the war between the League of Nations and the Chinese Empire, if all the countries of the League of Nations can end the war with the Chinese Empire, our French Republic itself will withdraw from this war, which is also the best choice for our French Republic." ”
Boris? After Dior's words, the office suddenly fell silent, and then President Armand? Fallier said: "Now that our French Republic has lost a large number of troops, all the African colonies have been lost, if the Chinese Empire is willing to return Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria to our French Republic, and the other African colonies are willing to give up and withdraw from this war, what is the bottom line?" ”
Gomis, Philip Paul and Boris? Dio looked at each other and nodded slowly.
In the Imperial Palace in Berlin, Germany, the German Emperor Wilhelm II put British Prime Minister Herbert? Henry? Asquith's secret telegram to Germany was sent to Prime Minister Hohenlohe, Admiral Tirpitz and the new Chief of the Army's General Staff, Sven Brown. After Schultz read it, Wilhelm II sighed and asked: "What do you think of the proposal of the British?" To tell you the truth, I really don't want to make peace with the Chinese Empire! ”
Prime Minister Hohenlohe said gloomily: "At present, our European countries have gathered more than 13.5 million army troops in the Moscow region of Russia, and this number is still increasing, but to be honest, the minister still has pessimistic thoughts about the decisive battle in Moscow, after all, the combat effectiveness of the Russian army units is too weak, and even a dozen people have to use a single rifle, while we are facing millions of elite troops of the Imperial Chinese Army that are almost armed to the teeth. There is also the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire, which is almost invincible, and it is really difficult to win the battle for Moscow! ”
The new Chief of the Army's General Staff, Sven? Scholz followed: "If the 13.5 million army units in the Moscow area are all the elite units of our German Army, there may be hope to hold Moscow, and even it is not impossible to completely annihilate the offensive troops of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire, but unfortunately there are only 1.4 million troops of our German Army in the Moscow area." ”
Admiral Tirpitz also said: "The war has reached this point, which no one expected before the war, and if the war can be ended, at least we in Germany will not need to sacrifice so many men!" ”
Then Prime Minister Hohenlohe said: "If the Chinese Empire proposes an armistice at this time, I believe that many countries of the League of Nations will not agree, such as Russia, but we Germany, Britain and France, still have talks with the Chinese Empire!" ”
Wilhelm II smiled bitterly, "It seems that you all agree to make contact with the Chinese Empire, but our German colonies in Africa have all been occupied by the troops of the Chinese Empire, if the war ends, according to the greed of the Chinese Emperor, we Germany will not want to take back these colonies in Africa." ”
Prime Minister Hohenlohe said: "Your Majesty, if the Chinese Empire can agree to our Germany withdrawing from the war at this time, even if it is appropriate to surrender all the colonies in Africa to the Chinese Empire, as long as we can keep our German homeland, all conditions can be negotiated with the Chinese Empire!" ”
Wilhelm II nodded and said: "Then this matter will be handed over to the prime minister, by the way, it is better to bring Austria-Hungary to the table, so that we will be less pressured within the Central Powers." ”
Britain, France, and Germany soon reached an agreement, and Germany also pulled Austria-Hungary into this small organization, and the Austro-Hungarian leadership was also very pessimistic about the war, so they learned that Britain, France and Germany were ready to contact the Chinese Empire, and also expressed their willingness to join the ranks of Britain, France and Germany.
Britain and France did not object to Germany's involvement of Austria-Hungary, so the representatives of the four countries gathered together and secretly rushed to Beijing, the capital of the Chinese Empire.
In the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City in Beijing, the capital of the Chinese Empire, Wang Yan, the Prime Minister of the Chinese Empire, reported to Lin Daxin: "Your Majesty, the representatives of Great Britain, France, Germany, and Austria-Hungary, have secretly arrived in Beijing, hoping to discuss this war with our Chinese Empire. ”
Lin Daxin pursed his lips and said: "What kind of discussion, is it that these countries see that there is no hope of victory in this war, and they are ready to negotiate an armistice with us, right?" ”
Wang Yan said with a smile: "Your Majesty is right, now that the war has reached this level, I believe that all the member countries of the League of Nations should know that the final winner of this war must not belong to the League of Nations!" At this time, Britain, France, Germany and Austria-Hungary came to the door, and they must have wanted to end the war! The worst is also their 4 countries, withdraw from this war! ”
Lin Daxin was suddenly silent for a long time, and then said to Wang Yan with a sigh: "Cousin, there are no outsiders here, I have a heartfelt word to you, no matter how much the cost of this war is, I must fight to the end, until all the powerful countries in the world are defeated, I will end this war!" ”
After a pause, Lin Daxin continued: "Cousin, you also know that I can have today, and the Chinese Empire can have the strength to challenge the whole world, all because I can travel through time and space and toss things from other time and space to our time and space, but now I don't know when this ability of mine will be restored, so I hope that the Chinese Empire will solve all the threats in this world at once by virtue of the advantages accumulated before, so that even if my ability to travel can never be restored, our Chinese Empire will not be affected in any way, We, the Chinese nation, will never be humiliated again! ”
Wang Yan was also silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Your Majesty, you are right!" This war must not be easily ended by our Chinese Empire, and the heart of the European and American powers to destroy our Chinese Empire has never disappeared, otherwise there would be no previous Eight-Nation Alliance, Nine-Nation Alliance, and now the 26-nation League of Nations! The ministers support Your Majesty to carry this war to the end and sweep away all potential threats to our Chinese Empire! ”
Lin Daxin then smiled and said: "In this way, we can't let the representatives of Britain, France, Germany and Austria-Hungary come in vain, that is not the hospitality of our Chinese Empire, I give the League of Nations a condition of armistice, if the entire 26 countries of the League of Nations agree to this condition, then our Chinese Empire is willing to end this war!" By the way, give Britain, France, Germany, and Austria-Hungary each a condition of armistice, and if any country can do it, our Chinese Empire will be willing to end the state of war with whichever country. ”
Wang Yan said with a smile: "It seems that Your Majesty's conditions will definitely not be simple. ”
Lin Daxin nodded and said: "Those European and American countries, haven't they always said that I am very greedy, if my conditions are too simple, I am really sorry for the evaluation of me by those European and American countries." ”
Soon the representatives of Britain, France, Germany and Austria-Hungary received a copy of the armistice conditions given by the Chinese Empire to the entire League of Nations, and the representatives of the four countries could not believe their eyes, although they had thought that the armistice conditions of the Chinese Empire would be very harsh, but they still underestimated the harshness of the armistice conditions of the Chinese Empire.
First of all, the 26 countries of the League of Nations must announce their unconditional surrender, and there is nothing to say about this condition, but the series of conditions of the Chinese Empire behind it are too harsh, and all the countries of the League of Nations will never agree to it.
There are several major aspects in the armistice conditions of the Chinese Empire, among which the lands of Russia, the United States, Japan and the Ottoman Turkish Empire will all become the territory of the Chinese Empire, and these four countries will disappear completely.
In addition, the Chinese Empire demanded that the European forces completely withdraw from Africa, and the whole of Africa would become the Africa of the Chinese Empire, which was very difficult for Britain and France to accept.
What is even more excessive is that the Chinese Empire proposed that the League of Nations, except for Russia, the United States, Japan, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire, other countries should compensate the Chinese Empire for certain territories and lease certain concessions to the Chinese Empire according to the situation of each country, and that the Chinese Imperial Army should have the right to station troops on the territory of these countries, and that the size of the armies of the other 22 countries should be limited.
In the end, the 22 countries that did not destroy the League of Nations need to pay a total of 300 billion yuan in war reparations to the Chinese Empire, which will be repaid in 200 years, and there is also a high amount of interest to be calculated, of course, according to the different economic conditions of each country, the amount of their respective reparations is also different.
While the representatives of Great Britain, France, Germany, and Austria-Hungary were shocked by the harshness of the terms of the armistice of the Chinese Empire, the Chinese Empire gave the representatives of each of the four countries an armistice condition, which was for their respective countries.
The British delegates saw the terms of the armistice against the British, and they had to give up all their colonies in Africa and all of India, and Britain ceded the island of Ireland to the Chinese Empire, and also leased 10 port cities to the Chinese Empire, turning them into concessions of the Chinese Empire.
In addition, the British Army must be controlled below 200,000, the total displacement of the British Navy must be controlled below 250,000 tons, and must not have any capital warships, the number of fighters of the British Air Force must be controlled below 300, and Britain must compensate the Chinese Empire with 50 billion yuan in war reparations, which will be paid off in 200 years.
On the condition that France give up all its overseas colonies, cede about 200,000 square kilometers of land in northern France to the Chinese Empire, and lease five cities to the Chinese Empire as concessions for the Chinese Empire.
The French Army is controlled below 300,000, the total displacement of the French Navy is controlled below 200,000 tons, the capital warships are not allowed, the French Air Force is controlled below 300 fighters, and France compensates the Chinese Empire for the war reparations of 40 billion yuan, which will be paid off in 200 years.
The conditions given to Germany were that Germany would give up all its colonies in Africa and cede about 200,000 square kilometers of land close to Russia to the Chinese Empire, and the other five German cities would also serve as concessions for the Chinese Empire, controlling the size of the German army as well as France, and Germany would need to compensate the Chinese Empire with 45 billion yuan in war reparations, which would be paid off in 200 years.
Austria-Hungary needs to cede about 300,000 square kilometers of land close to Russia to the Chinese Empire, and the other five cities of the Austro-Hungarian Empire will also serve as the concessions of the Chinese Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire's land force is controlled below 200,000, the total naval displacement is controlled below 100,000 tons, it is not allowed to have capital warships, and the air force is controlled below 150 aircraft, and Austria-Hungary needs to compensate the Chinese Empire for 30 billion yuan in war reparations, which will be paid off in 200 years.
