"Your Excellency, Germany is ready for a peace negotiation conference! Moreover, the member states of the Central Powers have already agreed to hold a peace conference in Berlin, and there is no need for another peace conference in Beijing! Moreover, Beijing is too far away from Europe, and if the member states of the Allied Powers go to Beijing to attend the peace conference, it will take two months or even more to spend on the road alone, which is not conducive to our early agreement to completely solve a series of problems that we will face after the end of the war! German Foreign Minister Stresemann summoned the Chinese ambassador to Germany, Liang Cheng, and expressed strong dissatisfaction with China's desire for a peace conference to be held in Beijing. From the German side's point of view, China's behavior against Germany is completely vexatious!

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, I'm sorry, but this is a domestic decision, and I personally have no way to change it! In addition, I also believe that there is nothing wrong with the peace talks being held in Beijing! The war is over, and time is very abundant for us victorious countries! In addition, China has undertaken the most important combat mission and played an extremely important role in this world war! We made our greatest contribution to this victory! Therefore, it is only natural that the peace talks will be held in Beijing this time! Chinese Ambassador to Germany Liang Chengyi said solemnly! In this war, China destroyed the United States and Italy, and the main military power of Russia was also wiped out by China. In addition, Britain surrendered to Germany only after strong pressure from China! That's it. The main countries of the Entente were defeated by China. China should lead this peace negotiation conference! Germany, on the other hand, only destroyed France, and fended off the Russian and Italian attacks at the beginning of the war, and that's all they could do! And the German government still wants to lead the peace talks this time, which is simply wishful thinking!

"Your Excellency, is this China's final decision?" German Foreign Minister Stresemann said with a dark face. Although he had to admit that China was in the midst of this world war. I did my best. However, if the peace talks are held in this time, which country will take the lead. Therefore, Germany will not let go under any circumstances!

"Yes, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary! This is the final decision of our Government! This peace negotiation meeting must be held in Beijing! Our country has also made relevant preparations for the negotiation conference! "Ambassador Liang Cheng can't back down a single step!

"Well, Your Excellency, I know what China means! However, Germany will not back down this time! Stresemann said!

"This is the power of Germany!" Ambassador Liang Cheng said with a smile on his face, and then said goodbye and left Stresemann's office! This time, the choice of the venue for the peace talks. For China and Germany, it is also a wrestling. See who can come out on top! However, China can drag on forever, but what about Germany and the rest of the Allied countries? The economies of various countries are deteriorating, and they desperately want to end the state of war. On the other hand, China's economy was also affected by the war, but the impact was not as great as that of the Allied countries! And, after the end of the large-scale war, China began to recover and develop its economy, and now, with the wealth in the hands of the royal family and the industrial equipment and wealth looted from the Americas shipped back home, China's economy has begun to flourish!

At 4 p.m. Beijing time on July 12, the Chinese Foreign Minister also met with the German Ambassador to China, August. Feng. Klinder held urgent consultations on the question of the venue of the peace talks. It's just that this meeting also failed to achieve the expected goal, and both China and Germany refused to back down, which made the differences between the two sides bigger and bigger, and there was no possibility of reaching an agreement at all!

"Lord Tang, it doesn't matter where the peace talks are held, what matters is that the benefits we get are guaranteed in this peace talks! The vast majority of the victorious countries were much closer to Berlin than to Beijing. Therefore, the convening of the peace talks in Berlin would help to improve the efficiency of the conference. In addition, although China is the world's top power, most countries do not know much about China, and if the conference is held in Berlin, there will be no such troubles! The German Ambassador to China, August. Feng. Clint persuaded! The Chinese side refused to compromise, which greatly annoyed the German side. As long as China does not agree, then there is no need to convene this peace negotiation conference, and the agreements reached at the conference will not have any effect, which is unacceptable to all countries!

"Your Excellency, although Beijing is far away from Europe, it will only take more than a month by boat! If you think the road is too far, the Chinese side can provide a luxury cruise ship to the Mediterranean Sea to pick up the delegations of various countries participating in this peace negotiation meeting! As for the incomprehension of China by various countries, there is no problem at all! China has now become the most powerful and important country in the world! Shouldn't countries know more about China? I think that in the future international political and economic exchanges, all countries will inevitably deal with China! So it doesn't hurt to take this opportunity to learn more about China now! Tang Shaoyi said with a smile!

"Lord Tang, if China and Germany cannot reach an agreement, then it is very likely that this peace negotiation conference will not be held, which will have a serious impact on China and Germany!" August. Feng. Ambassador Klinder said!

"Your Excellency, China doesn't care about this! If the peace talks cannot be convened in time, it is possible to wait! In fact, according to the current situation, the model of military occupation by the victorious country against the defeated country is also very good! If you really can't do it, you can go on like this forever! Tang Shaoyi said with a smile!

"What? Lord Tang, are you kidding again? If this is the case, wouldn't it be the complete destruction of those defeated countries? "August. Feng. Ambassador Klinder exclaimed! In the wars that broke out in Europe, there have always been few countries destroyed! And this time in the world war, several Western countries have already been destroyed! If the Chinese side really makes up their minds about this, this is not a good thing for Germany! Germany also hopes that after the end of the war, it will be able to completely integrate the strength of the whole of Europe to compete with China! If the military occupation continues, Germany's hopes will be completely shattered!

"Your Excellency, I'm not kidding! If our two countries can't reach an agreement for a long time, maybe His Majesty the Emperor will really make such a decision! Tang Shaoyi smiled, as if she was not in a hurry at all!

"Threat! This is a naked threat! "August. Feng. Ambassador Klinder shouted in his heart! It is precisely this method that the Chinese use to force Germany to compromise, otherwise, China will directly make the peace negotiation conference unable to convene, in this case, the first thing that cannot be delayed is Germany!

"Lord Tang, this is a threat from China to Germany! Germany will not accept such a threat! "August. Feng. Ambassador Klinder said with some anger!

"Your Excellency, China has no intention of threatening Germany! However, His Majesty the Emperor of our country has said that if the peace talks are not held in Beijing, China will not participate in this peace conference! Moreover, China will not recognize the agreement reached at this peace conference! Tang Shaoyi said solemnly! Although, China's decision is somewhat unreasonable. However, isn't this always the case in state-to-state interactions? Presumably, with strong force, it can turn its hands into clouds and rain its hands, wantonly plundering and oppressing other countries. Wasn't this the case when China was weak in the past? It's just that now China has become strong and has become the hegemon of the world. Although this supremacy has not yet been recognized by other countries! However, after the fall of the old world hegemon, China has become the number one power in the world, which is already an indisputable fact!

August. Feng. Ambassador Klinder's face was pale, and he was almost trembling with anger! If eyes could kill, maybe Tang Shaoyi would have turned into a pile of minced meat! China's power is vividly displayed at this moment, which makes it difficult for Germany to accept! However, as Tang Shaoyi said, if China's demands are not met, China will refuse to participate in this peace conference! So, is this peace meeting still meaningful?

August. Feng. Ambassador Klinder angrily left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China and immediately conveyed the news back to China! And this caused an uproar in Germany and even around the world! Germany was angry because of China's arrogance and unreasonableness, which further deteriorated the relations between the two countries, and made it possible to once again tense the situation that had been eased after the military conflict in the previous few days!

Others, on the other hand, are worried! If China does not recognize this peace conference, will they still be able to enjoy the dividends of this war? The countries that had agreed to Germany and agreed to hold a peace conference in Berlin were also a little shaken! After all, it is important to befriend Germany, but it is undoubtedly even more important to ensure your own interests! (To be continued......)
