Chapter 563 Treaty of Frankfurt(1/2)

Author: Feng Xiaomu

PS: Change the city where the treaty was signed. European leaders went to Athens, a city controlled by the Ottoman Turkish Empire. It is too inconsistent.

The war between the German countries had just ended, and Frankfurt, a famous city in Germany, welcomed many European big shots.

Frankfurt is in the hands of the Anti-Romanian Alliance troops, and there is also a Holy Roman Empire garrison not far away.

It was very close to France and the Holy Roman Empire, and it was in the hands of weak German princes.

When representatives from European countries come here, they don't have to worry about their personal safety.

When representatives from various European countries go to areas controlled by some powerful countries, many people worry that they will never go back.

The two prime ministers of France, Cardinal Mazarin and Ferdinand the Younger.

They are the most noble people, the guards of France and the Holy Roman Empire, protecting their safety.

Behind the two of them were members of the diplomatic missions from various countries.

Among them, England is the most special, as one country sent two missions.

The French Prime Minister, Cardinal Mazarin, pointed to the south and said: "We are looking south from the Mediterranean coast.

Ahead are Egypt and other North African regions.

Thousands of years ago, it belonged to the Roman Empire.

A few years ago, it belonged to the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

It is now a colony of the Eastern Powers and the Great China Empire.

The power of the East is once again approaching Europe. If we do not respond, the impact will be more serious than the invasion of the Mongol Empire."

The reason why the French Prime Minister, Cardinal Mazarin said so.

He has seen that with the intervention of Eastern forces, France's attempt to dominate the European continent will be difficult to achieve.

If France adjusts its direction in time, its hegemony will be achieved in another way.

When France organized European countries to resist the invasion of Eastern forces.

France can take advantage of this opportunity to control European hegemony.

Whether a consensus can be reached on the Treaty of Frankfurt will affect France's hegemony.

This is also the reason why the French Prime Minister, Cardinal Mazarin, came to Frankfurt in person.

The representative of the Ottoman Turkish Empire has a gloomy face.

Their territory in Egypt was easily taken away, and their army suffered heavy losses in the Sinai Peninsula.

He is now listening to the words of these Europeans, which are mocking the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

He suppressed the anger in his heart and did not burst out.

The Ottoman Turkish Empire also relied on European countries for help.

Alexei Mikhailovich was deeply moved when he heard the words of Cardinal Mazarin, the French Prime Minister.

At that time, Russia was destroyed by the Mongol Empire, and the forefathers overthrew the Golden Horde, so that the Slavs could rise again.

Many people in Russia have Mongolian blood, which is one of the reasons why they are rejected by mainstream European countries.

The French Prime Minister, Cardinal Mazarin, expressed emotion.

Negotiations on the details of the Frankfurt Treaty officially began.

It serves as a treaty for the two forces to formally cease fighting, and it is also a treaty for them to divide their spheres of influence.

Negotiating every detail of the treaty represents huge benefits.

As participants in this war, other countries also want a share of the pie.

All the countries involved in the treaty were quarreled throughout the negotiation process.

The final distribution of benefits depends entirely on the strength of each country.

England suffered the most. As a country fighting a civil war, they received the least benefits.

The representatives of England want to fight for their interests, and other countries do not need to compete with them.

All these countries asked was which mission could represent Britain.

Representatives of the royal party and the parliamentary party can fight on their own on the spot.

But they were also wary of England's invincible fleet, which belonged to England's interests and other countries did not dare to invade.

Before the parties arrived in Frankfurt, France and the Holy Roman Empire had already reached a framework for the treaty.

Even so, various terms were negotiated for nearly a month before the Treaty of Frankfurt was formally formed.

Representatives from all parties signed the Treaty of Frankfurt, except for representatives of the Ottoman Empire who had nothing to do with the treaty.

The French Prime Minister, Cardinal Mazarin, looked at the signed treaty.

He ignored all the trivial issues such as redemption of nobles, preferential treatment of prisoners, and war compensation.

He focused on reading the core provisions of the Frankfurt Treaty.

1. The Anti-Romanian Alliance and the Holy Roman Empire Alliance officially ceased fighting. Both parties returned to their respective territories and released prisoners.

Second, the German countries have freedom of belief. Things in the German countries are decided internally by the German princes. No other country is allowed to interfere with the German countries.

Third, France and other countries and the Holy Roman Empire each divided their spheres of influence.

Fourth, overseas colonies should each compete for overseas colonies based on their own abilities and should not cause wars in mainland Europe.

Since there was no winner in the war, neither of them benefited from the other.

Except for the German countries that killed each other too seriously and paid certain compensations, there was no compensation between the major countries.

They can only divide their respective spheres of influence, and the German countries serve as a buffer zone for the two forces.

The Holy Roman Empire did not give up its suzerainty over German China, but promised not to interfere in the merger and reorganization of the German states.

Other countries in the anti-Romanian alliance also agreed not to support the German countries in their opposition to the Holy Roman Empire, and everything would depend on their own development.

France and the Holy Roman Empire did not seriously compete for colonies because of the Thirty Years' War.

They bound all countries through the Treaty of Frankfurt.

The fight for colonies depends entirely on the strength of each country, but the fight for colonies cannot be used as a reason to launch a war in Europe.

The Treaty of Frankfurt was reached, and all forces were very happy, and peace was officially restored in Europe.

The French Prime Minister, Cardinal Mazarin, held a banquet and invited everyone to celebrate the signing of the Treaty of Frankfurt.

Signing a formal armistice treaty in Europe was only one of the purposes of the French Prime Minister, Cardinal Mazarin, who came to Frankfurt.

The larger purpose is to curb the development of Eastern forces and create opportunities for France to gain hegemony.

Establishing a strong opponent can reduce the resistance of European countries when they obey France's control.

The French Prime Minister, Cardinal Mazarin, also believed that the development of Eastern forces must be curbed.

Otherwise, the situation he proposed is definitely not groundless, and all European countries will be very miserable.

Choosing the Great China Empire as the goal will also make many countries flock to it.

Penicillin, allicin, artemisinin and other drugs came from Dahua.

Steam engines, textile machines, ships that can move forward without sails.

Whichever country obtains the same, it will bring a lot of wealth.

European countries actively fought against the Chinese Empire. In addition to sensing danger, they were also prepared to snatch huge benefits.

The celebration banquet officially started, and many European dignitaries were in contact with each other and connecting with each other.

The French Prime Minister, Cardinal Mazarin, walked into the crowd with a glass of red wine.

He asked the waiter to bring over a huge map.

He pointed at the map and said loudly: "Gentlemen, this is the map I spent a lot of money to buy from the Dahua Empire.

It can be seen from this relatively detailed map that the Great China Empire has a very clear understanding of the world.

There are many places on the map that our European explorers have not reached.

Everyone looks at this map, and the places covered by the red plots are the colonies of the Great China Empire.

There are colonies of the Great China Empire all over the world.”

The Prime Minister of France, Cardinal Mazarin, was a little closer to the Suez Canal.

"I got news that the Chinese Empire's colony called Min is preparing to build an artificial canal called the Suez Canal.

After the canal was built, it only took a few months for the huge fleet of the Chinese Empire to enter the Mediterranean.

We must not allow this canal to be built.

Once the canal is built, we will be in danger."

Representatives from Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands, they told the story of the power of the Chinese Empire’s navy.
