"Your Majesty, what happened?" Russian Queen Alexandra Feodorovna asked nervously! She knew that Tsar Nicholas II's emotions have always been depressed these days because Beijing and the Association
The problem has always been worried and the spirit has always been under high tension. Obviously, Russia must have encountered problems this time!
"Those bastards have made very demanding demands. They completely want to destroy Russia! I will never agree to their conditions! Please don't don't and Pi A. Stolepin, please do not
Come see me now!" After Nicholas II finished speaking, he turned around and left the restaurant, not even having breakfast! Now he has no appetite at all!
The Russian Orthodox Administration Director of the Russian Orthodox Affairs Bureau, Pobetonostchaiv and Interior Minister Bi Ah Storepin arrived at the Kremlin in less than half an hour. Their faces were not very good-looking.
On the way here, I already knew what happened and knew that Tsar Nicholas II was in a rage! As Moscow was occupied by the Chinese, the entire Russian royal family and ministers were under the surveillance of the Chinese.
This made Tsar Nicholas II's mood always irritable. Now, the harsh demands put forward by China and the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the Beijing Peace Conference undoubtedly further stimulated Nicholas II!
"What do you think we should do now? The Chinese and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are obviously going to destroy Russia! They asked Russia to ced half of its territory to them and also pay 3 billion Chinese dollars in war reparations! Such harsh conditions. For Russia
It is simply impossible to accept!" Tsar Nicholas II said in a furious manner! During his nineteen years of rule over Russia, Russia has gone from a country that has caused the whole world to be feared to a trivial one
The country is now! The only part of the world's largest territory is left! And now even these territory may be divided by the enemy. The wealth accumulated by the Romanov dynasty in hundreds of years has almost been exhausted!
The war reparations of up to 3 billion Chinese yuan were enough to bankrupt the entire Russian government, not to mention that the Chinese had also put forward harsh arms restrictions. This was completely unacceptable for Russia! Russia's strength is exactly what it is.
Military power from Russia! Although the Russian army's weapons and equipment are bad, they have huge troops. And these troops are famous for their bravery. If all the military equipment is restricted, then Russia will become a third-rate country soon!
"Your Majesty, China and the Austro-Hungarian Empire strongly advocate weakening us, which means their fear of Russia, fearing that once Russia becomes strong, they will re-pose a threat to them! Therefore, they want to take advantage of Russia's current weakness and do as much as possible
The reduction of Russia's strength! But their attempts will not be realized, and the great Slavic nation will never compromise with them!" Pobethtchaifu, director of the Russian Orthodox Administration of Orthodox Affairs, said loudly.
He was the confidant of Tsar Nicholas II, so he naturally knew what Nicholas II liked to hear!
Sure enough, after listening to Pobe Donos Tchaifu's words, Tsar Nicholas II's face looked much better. However, Pobe Donos Tchaifu's words were actually to solve the current dilemma. In fact, it was one thing.
No use!
"Your Majesty, now we can only express our dissatisfaction to China and the Austro-Hungarian Empire! As long as we continue to be tough and the help of Germany, they may change their attitude! Of course, as a defeated country in this world war, Russia is sure to
It has to pay a lot of money! The Chinese have always been extremely greedy, and they have become madly poor in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. They will definitely not miss this opportunity!" said Interior Minister Bi Ah Storepin.
If Russia had been the victorious country of this World War, they would have put forward more stringent conditions!
"Send a telegram to Ivan Goremekin, telling him that Russia will never accept blackmail from China and the Austro-Hungarian Empire! In addition, let him contact Germany more and ask Germany for help! Russia will never be here
There are too many losses in the meeting at one time!" Tsar Nicholas II said! If Russia loses too much this time, it will be detrimental to Russia's next rise. Even at this moment, Tsar Nicholas II still feels
Very unwilling to give in. Although Russia suffered heavy losses in this war, he still hopes that Russia can rise again in the next time!
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Interior Minister Bi A. Stolepin nodded. However, he did not think that Germany could protect Russia under the pressure of other victorious countries! After all, facing other people,
The common demand of the victorious countries is that Germany is also the only possibility that it can't stand alone, perhaps it is to minimize losses as much as possible!
In the afternoon of the same day, Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang, Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi and Defense Minister Jiang Xingguo met with the imperial emperor Wang Yuze and reported to Wang Yuze about the progress of the negotiations. The three of them expressed their dissatisfaction with Germany, which made China's favoritism with Russia
The interests of other victorious countries were greatly damaged!
"Your Majesty, the Germans must have secret collusion with the Russians. Otherwise, they would not spare any effort to protect Russia! This will be a huge threat to the empire! Germany's industrial strength is strong and Russia has many military resources. Once it is done, it will be a huge threat.
The two countries unite will cause great trouble to the empire!" Imperial Prime Minister Wu Tingfang reminded! Russia's poor military strength is a large part of the reason why Russia's weapons and equipment are too backward, and even one rifle can't be satisfied with it.
!However, their number of tens of millions of troops also makes any country afraid! If the Germans use weapons and Russia use soldiers, it will pose a huge threat to other countries!
Wang Yuze nodded, and he was very clear about Germany's intentions. Germany also knew that if he dealt with China alone, Germany would have no chance of winning! Only by finding ways to unite the entire Western world can Germany be united with China.
The war is sure! Russia, which has a large population and a large number of troops, is an important ally that Germany cannot give up!
"Your Majesty, the Germans' partiality with Russia has aroused the anger of us and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The other victorious countries are also very dissatisfied with this! Perhaps we can take this opportunity to win over other countries!" Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi
Said!
"We can strengthen our ties with the Austro-Hungarian Empire and other countries! At least we have the same interests in dealing with Russia!" Wang Yuze said! There are no eternal friends between countries, but only eternal interests!
In the face of huge interests, all countries can unite to oppose Germany!
"Your Majesty, what if the Germans still insist on disagreeing with our proposed disposal plan to Russia? What should we do? Should we continue to use force deterrence?" asked Secretary of Defense Jiang Xingguo.
"The threat of force may not work! The last time we used force threats, the Germans have retreated! This time, German Emperor William II will definitely not give in!" Wang Yuze shook his head. Faced with China's strong military strength
The last time Germany chose to compromise and give in to deal with the United States issue, which had a great impact on Germany's reputation. And German Emperor William II was originally an extremely proud and conceited person, and wanted to be another
It may be very difficult to make him bow his head! If he doesn't do it well, it will have a counterproductive effect. After all, through the last contact, Germany must have known that China does not have the determination to start a war now!
"Your Majesty, I think we can join forces with other countries to force Germany! Now, all countries have huge garrisons in Russia. If this stalemate continues, there will be great pressure on all countries! All countries want to go soon
Withdraw the troops back to the country. At the same time, everyone hopes to gain enough benefits from Russia! The Germans favored Russia are undoubtedly an enemy of other countries! Therefore, we can completely unite other countries, leave Germany alone and
Russia is in negotiations!" said Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi.
"So, what if Germany does not recognize the outcome of the negotiation?" Marshal Jiang Xingguo asked with some concern!
"If Germany does not want to be enemies with other victorious countries, they will accept this result! They will even change their position and stand on our side!" said Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi!
"Okay, that's it! The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are in contact. As long as our two countries reach an agreement, the other small countries will definitely support us! At that time, it's time for the Germans to make a choice!" Wang Yuze said!
But it is a good opportunity to distract from the relations between countries within the alliance! If conflicts arise within the alliance, this will be of great benefit to China!
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi accepted the order!
At 4 pm, Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi went to the Embassy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in China, and the Crown Prince Ferdinand of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Prime Minister Mario Weber, Foreign Minister Leopold von Bercidord and others
The people held a secret talk! Tang Shaoyi stayed at the Austro-Hungarian Embassy in China for more than an hour before leaving! During this period, the two sides exchanged views on Russia's disposal plan and reached an agreement!
Afterwards, the Prime Minister of Austro-Hungarian Empire, Foreign Minister and Ambassador to China met with missions from the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Kingdom of Bulgaria and the Kingdom of Romania respectively, and proposed the disposal plan of China and the Austro-Hungarian Empire to Russia. In the end, in addition to Russia,
