"Well, what about the Austro-Hungarian point of view?" Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang looked at Austro-Hungarian Prime Minister Mario. Weber! At the beginning, the three states of the southeastern United States in China were handed over to the Austro-Hungarian Americans to establish their own state, which was very satisfying to the Austro-Hungarian Empire! After all, the total number of Austro-Hungarian Americans was less than a million, and the land of three states was enough for them!

Austro-Hungarian Prime Minister Mario. Weber hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, the Grand Duchy of Habsburg has no intention of expanding its territory, and the territory of the three states is enough for the people of the Grand Duchy of Habsburg!" However, Austria-Hungary wanted to receive a share of the reparations paid by the United States! ”

Mario. As soon as Weber's words were spoken, the people in the conference room immediately began to talk. At first, everyone thought that China and Austria-Hungary were united to deal with Germany. But I didn't expect that at the most critical moment, Austria-Hungary still fell to Germany and wore a pair of pants with the Germans! This is definitely a heavy blow to China!

China's crown prince Zirui looked at Archduke Ferdinand, the crown prince of Austria-Hungary, but received an apologetic look. Austria-Hungary is now insanely poor, and if they can get a part of the sky-high reparations paid by the United States, it will greatly relieve their financial pressure! It is precisely for this reason that Austria-Hungary echoed Germany's Tiyì! At this time, a smile appeared on the corner of Crown Prince William's mouth, as if he had won the victory! It made him feel like he was raising his eyebrows! To know. After the start of this peace meeting, he began to be hit one after another. This feeling almost drove him crazy. Now, finally, it is Germany's turn to strike back!

As for the war reparations that the United States will pay to China, the three countries will pay China a total of 4 billion Chinese dollars in war reparations, and this will be paid in 20 years. For these war reparations, the United States and Austria-Hungary have long coveted it. It's just that when they demanded these reparations, the Chinese side ignored them! But I didn't think of it. Germany and Austria-Hungary are still obsessed with this!

"That's right, it is possible not to expand the territory of the Grand Duchy of Germania. However, part of the war reparations paid by the United States belonged to Germany! The German government believes that Germany's share of the US reparations needs to be 30 percent! German Chancellor Holwig said!

"Austria-Hungary wants to be able to get twenty percent of the war reparations!" Austro-Hungarian Prime Minister Mario. Webb followed suit!

The faces of the Chinese delegates suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot! These foreign devils have a mouth. It's like asking for half of the compensation, which is too big a lion's mouth, right? China has spent countless military expenditures and sacrificed hundreds of thousands of people to destroy the United States, and Germany and Austria-Hungary still want to take advantage of such a big advantage, which the Chinese side will not agree to no matter what!

"Prime Minister Holwig, Mario. Prime Minister Weber? Is this the last requirement of your two countries? Wu Tingfang asked coldly!

"Yes. Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, this is a legitimate request of our country in the government, and I hope your country can agree! Chancellor Holwig insisted!

"Uh, this, Your Excellency Ng Dinh Fong. If your country feels that it is not appropriate, we can discuss the specific amount! "The Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Mario. Webb saw that Wu Tingfang's face was very ugly. So he hurriedly said!

"There is no need to discuss it anymore, I can tell you very definitely, China will never agree to such conditions! The disposition of the United States has been decided long ago, and China will not accept another agreement! Chinese Crown Prince Wang Zirui replied directly! He said it very resolutely, and there was no doubt in his voice!

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, in this case, is it necessary for this peace meeting to continue?" Crown Prince William said angrily. China actually rejected the demands of Germany and Austria-Hungary so mercilessly, which made him feel that his face was once again ruthlessly trampled on by the Chinese! Therefore, Crown Prince William immediately issued a threat!

"Humph! Will it be discontinued and will? China doesn't care about this peace conference at all! If the end of this war cannot be determined in the form of a treaty, then let this war continue! China is confident enough to hold out to the end! After the Chinese crown prince Zirui dropped this sentence, he left the conference room directly! He knew that with the temper of his father, Emperor Wang Yuze, he had always only taken advantage of others, and it was absolutely impossible for others to take advantage of China! Not even to start a war! That's why he dared to say it so absolutely!

Seeing Wang Zirui leave directly, Crown Prince William's face was as black as the bottom of a pot! Archduke Ferdinand's face was also a little ugly, but he also regretted it a little! After all, as Wang Zirui said, China still has the strength to continue the war, but what about Austria-Hungary? If the war drags on any longer, the Austro-Hungarian Empire may collapse! Of the three great powers, Austria-Hungary was undoubtedly the weakest!

"It's a pity! If the German government and the Austro-Hungarian government forcibly revised the original plan for dealing with the United States, China would absolutely not agree to it! And the consequences of this will be borne by both of you! Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang said directly!

"Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, in view of the great differences between the two sides, I think we should adjourn the meeting for the time being! What do you think about a meeting tomorrow? "The Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Mario. Webb said hurriedly. He is also very aware of the current situation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and if the peace will break down, then the first unlucky one will be the Austro-Hungarian Empire!

Wu Tingfang hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay! Let's start tomorrow! ”

Then, the Chinese delegates immediately left the conference room, and the representatives of the other victorious countries, although they had not expressed any opinions at this meeting, the contradictions between China, Germany, and Austria-Hungary had already frightened them! Many people are speculating about what kind of team their country will be able to guarantee their interests. If you stand in the wrong line, the consequences are quite severe!

"Humph! The Chinese are so arrogant that they actually threaten us with the suspension of the peace conference? It's so hateful! After Crown Prince William saw everyone leaving, he couldn't hold back anymore and scolded!

"Your Royal Highness, what we have to do now is not to scold the Chinese, but to find a way to continue the peace meeting!" Otherwise, the peace will break down a little, and it should be our two countries that are in a hurry! Archduke Ferdinand said coldly, and then left with the representatives of Austria-Hungary!

"Damn, these Austro-Hungarian fellows, are they ready to compromise? Can't they just be tougher? Are they still brave Germanic people? Crown Prince William shouted with great dissatisfaction!

"Your Royal Highness, if the Chinese are uncompromising, I'm afraid only we will back down!" German Prime Minister Holwig also said with some worry! Although the German flight hoped to get a share of the war reparations paid by the United States, if the Chinese insisted on refusing, then Germany had no other way but to compromise and retreat! After all, Germany can't afford to drag on!

"Are we just watching the Chinese so arrogant? In that case, what will the rest of the world think of us? "Crown Prince William is very dissatisfied!

"Your Royal Highness, let's go to the embassy first!" German Foreign Minister Stresemann reminded! After all, this is the conference room of the Chinese Prime Minister's Office, and the words of dissatisfaction with China here are likely to be heard by the Chinese, which is very bad for Germany!

Crown Prince William nodded, left the Prime Minister's Mansion with everyone, and returned to the embassy!

"Father, the Germans are so shameless, they didn't do anything on the American battlefield, and gave them several states to establish a German-American state, which is already very face-saving for them! Now, they are still greedy enough to demand the war reparations paid by the United States, which is simply shameless! We will not be able to accede to their requests! After leaving the Prime Minister's Palace, Crown Prince Wang Zirui went directly back to the palace and told Emperor Wang Yuze about the content of this morning's negotiations!

"Humph! Greed is the original sin! These Germans, can't their brains be caught by the door? And if you want us to give them the indemnity, that's just impossible! Zirui, you did a very good job today, you don't have to give them face at all when you treat these people who don't know what to do! Wang Yuze patted Wang Zirui's shoulder and praised!

"Yes, Father!" was praised by Wang Yuze, which made Wang Zirui very happy! The education they have received since childhood is very strict, and they have been praised by Wang Yuze only a handful.

"But Father, are we really going to end this peace meeting?" Wang Zirui asked with some concern. After all, China has been preparing for this peace conference for a long time!

"Don't worry, the Germans will compromise! They are not ready to go to war with us, and if they do now, they have no chance of winning! Wang Yuze said very firmly.

Wang Zirui nodded, the difference in strength between the two sides is here, as long as the Germans are not fools, they will no longer insist on these unrealistic delusions!

"In order to speed up the resolve of the Germans, we have to help them! Come, go and bring in the Chief of the General Staff, the Minister of the Army, the Minister of the Navy, and the Minister of the Air Force! Wang Yuze commanded the guards outside!
