The negotiations reached an impasse, and both China and Austria-Hungary demanded that Russia be dealt with harshly and weakened as much as possible! However, Germany did not agree with this plan, they did not want Russia to be excessively weakened, and hoped that Russia's national strength could be preserved to achieve Russia's strategic goals! As for the other countries, although they were forced by German pressure and did not make a clear statement, everyone knows that they also hope to get as much benefit as possible from Russia!

"Ladies and gentlemen, as we all know, Russia is a powerful country! Although Russia's industrial strength is poor, their military strength is considered a first-class power in the whole of Europe and the world! A strong Russia would pose a serious threat to both China and the Allies! Only by weakening Russia as much as possible can we guarantee our security! Therefore, the Chinese government wants our tiyì to be able to get tongguò! Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi said solemnly! The Chinese side expressed great dissatisfaction with the Germans' favoritism towards Russia!

"Austria-Hungary supports China! Russia is one of the main enemies of the Allies, and we have won this war with great difficulty, and we have already paid a heavy price for it! We don't want to face a strong Russia and fight another war like this! "The Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Mario. Weber immediately agreed! Austria-Hungary and Russia have always had great contradictions over the Balkans. Now that Russia has been defeated, of course I don't want Russia to pose a threat to Austria-Hungary anymore! In addition, Germany spared no effort to exonerate Russia, which also aroused the vigilance of the Austro-Hungarian government! Austria-Hungary had hoped to solve the threat from the south and the east once and for all, so that they could concentrate their efforts on the German threat! However, if Germany continued to support Russia, it would undoubtedly pose a new threat to Austria-Hungary!

"Gentlemen, Russia has paid a sufficient price in this war, with millions of their troops killed or wounded in the war, and many more civilians killed in this war. With countless villages and cities in ruins, and the destruction of Russia's already underdeveloped industries, such a Russia no longer poses a threat to our countries! If we have to weaken Russia too much, we will be resisted by Russia! A turbulent Russia is also very unfavorable for our countries! Therefore, the German government believes that our plan for dealing with Russia should be more appropriate! German Chancellor Holwig said!

China, Germany, and Austria-Hungary were unable to agree on the disposition of Russia, which made it impossible to implement the disposition of Russia. Russia was a major member of the Entente, and ending the war against Russia was very important to ending the world war. All countries want to be able to reach an agreement with Russia on post-war issues as soon as possible, without having to station a large number of troops in Russia as they do now! Whether it is China, Germany, or Austria-Hungary, there are millions of troops stationed in Russia. The daily consumption of millions of troops is also an astronomical amount! Of course, in the process of military occupation, this will further weaken the strength of various countries. And for Russia, this in itself means a catastrophe! The occupying forces are in the territory of the enemy's country, and they will certainly plunder everywhere. In the end, a devastated land was left for Russia!

"Ladies and gentlemen, why don't we adjourn the meeting today and wait until tomorrow to discuss and negotiate on related issues?" German Foreign Minister Stresemanti yì! Both China and Austria-Hungary advocated a harsh treatment of Russia, and several other countries, though not explicitly stated, certainly favored this idea. Germany has undoubtedly become a loner, and this makes them feel very stressed!

"There is no objection from the Chinese side! Countries can communicate privately to make sure they can come up with a definite plan at tomorrow's meeting! Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang said! The Germans' deliberate bias in favor of Russia also made the Chinese side very annoyed! If it weren't for the fact that now was not the best time to go to war with Germany, I am afraid that this negotiation would have broken down long ago!

The delegation of Austria-Hungary also agreed. Now that the three major powers have agreed to adjourn the meeting temporarily, the other three countries have no opinion! However, in general, everyone is still very dissatisfied with the German government's approach! As a victorious country, plundering the defeated country is a matter of course! And the Germans, for their own interests, have to find a way to favor Russia, and this is undoubtedly to the detriment of everyone's interests!

After the meeting, delegations from all over the world began to communicate confidentially to discuss what to do in tomorrow's negotiations. After the German delegation returned to the German Embassy in China, the Russian delegation went to the German Embassy in China for the first time! Although the Russian delegation went there secretly, the whole of Beijing, especially the embassy district, was a key place for China's military intelligence and the Ministry of Homeland Security to monitor, and every move of other countries was under China's control. It's just that it's not clear what their conversation will be!

At the German Embassy in China, German Chancellor Holwig and Foreign Minister Stresemann met with representatives of the Russian Mission. Goremykin and Foreign Minister Izvorsky. After learning that today's peace meeting was mainly to discuss the disposition of Russia, the members of the Russian mission were in a state of fear! From the plan of the victorious country's disposition of Italy, they knew how strict the victorious country's disposition of the defeated country would be this time! Russia had already suffered heavy losses in this war, and if it was frantically plundered by the victorious powers, then Russia would be no different from being destroyed! Therefore, after learning of the adjournment, they rushed to the German Embassy in China to inquire about the news as soon as possible!

"Ivan. Your Excellency Prime Minister Goremykin, tell you the truth, the current situation is very unfavorable for Russia! Although we tried our best to protect Russia's interests, both China and Austria-Hungary advocated severe punishment for Russia, and several other countries also acquiesced to this plan! Therefore, Germany is under great pressure! German Chancellor Holwig said!

"Your Excellency Prime Minister Holwig, Russia has already suffered heavy losses, and we cannot afford to deal with it harshly! Please also find a way to help us turn around, and in the future, Russia will become Germany's staunchest ally! "Ivan. Prime Minister Goremykin hurriedly said. Now the only thing Russia can count on is Germany! Although the two sides are using each other, as long as they can preserve Russia's national power as much as possible, they have no choice!

"Ivan. Your Excellency Prime Minister Goremykin, Germany will do its best to help Russia in its deal! But if it will work, we can't be sure! Chancellor Holwig said! He knew that under the condition that both China and Austria-Hungary were tough, Germany would not completely oppose China and Austria-Hungary because of Russia, which was also unfavorable to Germany!

"Your Excellency Prime Minister Holwig, I don't know what the specific conditions put forward by China and Austria-Hungary are?" Russian Foreign Minister Izvorsky asked.

"China demands that Russia cede to China the Siberian Plain and the territories east of the Volga! Austria-Hungary demanded that Russia cede to them the Russian territories that were formerly part of Poland, as well as the territories of Belarus and Ukraine! The Ottoman Turkish Empire demanded the entire Caucasus. The Kingdom of Romania wants to get Moldova! In addition, there are huge war reparations! Austria-Hungary demanded that Russia pay war reparations totaling five billion Chinese dollars, while the Chinese lowered the standard a little and demanded three billion Chinese dollars in war reparations! In the end, Austria-Hungary agreed to China's plan, and the total war reparations were set at three billion Chinese dollars! German Foreign Minister Stresemann said!

"Oh God! Are they going to completely destroy Russia? "Ivan. Both Prime Minister Goremykin and Russian Foreign Minister Izvorsky exclaimed! If Russia agrees to these conditions, it will be tantamount to the destruction of the country! Russia will lose half of its territory. And as much as 3 billion Chinese dollars in war reparations are enough to make the whole of Russia pay back for a hundred years!

"It is a pity that China and Austria-Hungary did mean to destroy Russia! If it weren't for the fact that the time was not yet ripe, they would have put it into action directly! Chancellor Holwig said!

"Your Excellency Chancellor Holwig, I hope that the German government will do its best to help Russia, and Russia will not forget Germany's kindness!" Ivan. Prime Minister Goremykin pleaded!

Prime Minister Holwig nodded, but he was not sure if it would succeed!

Russian Ivan. Prime Minister Goremykin and Foreign Minister Izvorsky left the German Embassy in China in despair, and after returning to the Russian Embassy in China, they immediately sent the news back to Moscow to inform Tsar Nicholas II!

It was still morning in Moscow, and Tsar Nicholas II had just gotten up and was having breakfast when the palace guards presented Tsar Nicholas II with a telegram from China. After reading it, Nicholas II suddenly lost the slightest appetite!

"Damn, what the hell are they trying to do? They want to destroy Russia this night! Russia will never agree to such conditions, and even if Russia is destroyed, it will definitely not compromise with them! Tsar Nicholas II roared angrily. His sudden anger brought the Russian Empress Alexandra. Feodorovna and their children were so frightened that they looked at Nicholas II in horror!
