The French are smart, and the rest of the Allied Powers are not stupid either. Now that they have reached this point, it is natural that they all have to think carefully about their own future, especially those who have already known their fate in this war.
In fact, there were not many Allied Powers left at this time. It was originally composed of Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Portugal, Serbia, Chile, and North America. Serbia was restored, but basically all the people in this country who could die were dead, and now they are still there.
There are 20,000 Serbian troops transformed from guerrillas who are attacking Hungary with the US-British coalition forces. Belgium has also regained its independence. The destruction of the same five years of war is also in ruins. They also have 50,000 people on the battlefield. Portugal has been subjugated and now there are only a few
Thousands of people followed the exiled King of Portugal, which was just a symbolic presence. Chile was already on the verge of national subjugation at this time. After all, except for them, most of the rest of South America had joined the Allies. If they were surrounded by several countries, no matter how strong they were, they would be dead.
The real core members of the Allied Powers are Britain, France, Russia, Italy and North America. Britain, Russia and North America are die-hard elements, but Italy is not.
"The Italians want to have peace talks with us alone?" Emperor Yang looked at Haijing with a funny face. Although he appreciated the shamelessness of the Italians, it was strange to be so shameless.
"Yes, Your Majesty, if we agree, they can withdraw from the Allied Powers immediately. If we can tolerate their mistakes, they may even be willing to fight alongside us." Hai Jing also said while holding back a smile.
"So how tolerant do they want us to be?" Yang Feng asked curiously.
"They have no objection at all to the ceded land. Whether it is the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venecia or the islands of Sardinia and Sicily, they can accept it, not to mention their colonies. The only requirement of the Italian government is that we
There can be fewer points in terms of war reparations," Haijing said.
The Savoy family was actually frightened by the collusion between Yang Feng and the Pope. They didn't care about the land. The Savoy family only lived in the Alps at the border of France and Italy. The entire Italy is now theirs.
The rewards obtained for a series of correct positions include their other hometown of Sardinia. So they can accept the loss of these lands, but if Yang Feng is allowed to take out the original Papal State, they will be a little bit intolerable.
Already.
What's more, at this time, the Pope has not recognized the Kingdom of Italy's legal right to occupy the Papal States. He is still in a state of self-proclaimed prisoner of the Vatican. If one day the old guy suddenly announces that he will join the Allied Powers as the Papal State, then after the war, he will use his
With their status, they can risk their lives to ask for the restoration of the Papal State. If the Papal State is separated, the Savoy family will still have a lot of space left, so what is there to do?
So go to Yang Feng as soon as possible and take the initiative to beg for mercy. It is only right to flatter this guy and then let him show his favor. Continuing to resist will not do any good for Italy or the Savoy family, and Emperor Yang will not do it either.
Like the Austro-Hungarian Empire, there is no enemy next to it, and the Italians understand this.
In fact, the reason why William asked Haijing to convey the Italian's request was to leave some constraints on Emperor Joseph. After all, the two of them were not really as close as brothers, and the last war between the two families had just passed.
Forty years. The reason why we got together was completely driven by profit. When it comes to German Zhengshuo, it has to be the Habsburg family. Prussia is nothing. It was just a group of bereaved families who were beaten back from Jerusalem and no one wanted them.
Dog. If the Poles hadn't been stupid enough to lure wolves into their homes, they wouldn't know where to beg for food at this moment. They might have been killed like the Templars.
"Then how much compensation can they accept?" Yang Feng said. He had no intention of creating a Papal State. Now that Italy has taken the initiative to counterattack, of course he wouldn't mind taking advantage of it.
"They offered to pay compensation in gold or silver lira coins equivalent to 100 million pounds," Haijing said.
"This is not possible. This figure is absolutely not acceptable. If it is less than 500 million pounds, they should continue to fight in the Allied Powers. I do not need their voluntary surrender, and the premise of 500 million pounds is that they must participate in the war against the Allied Powers.
If they just withdraw from the Allied Powers, they will have to add another 500 million pounds, and the payment period of 66 years can remain unchanged, and the first payment of compensation cannot be less than 50 million pounds." Yang Feng said.
Of course Haijing would not have any objections, although in his own opinion, the Italians probably would not be able to afford such a sum of money anyway, but that is what the Italians need to worry about. The more they lose, the more Germany will get.
, in this case, the more, the better. You must know that the reconstruction of Germany requires huge funds.
Immediately afterwards, Emperor Yang's offer was sent by telegram to the temporary capital of Germany, Nuremberg. The poor Italian king is still taken by William. Even when he was driven out of Berlin, he did not forget to take him with him to escape. The current king is
The bridge between Italy and the Allied Powers. After receiving the telegram, he immediately sent the offer to Rome. Then the Italian government's negotiators quietly left Rome and went to Beirut. From Beirut, they were sent to China by a Chinese Army Air Forces bomber. As for
Next is the issue of negotiations. Anyway, the Italians also understand that no matter what conditions Emperor Yang offers at this time, they must accept it. Even the Italian commanders on the front line have received orders from Rome and will no longer participate in any
War against the Allies.
In fact, at this time, the Italian army still controlled northern Croatia, while the US-British coalition attacked northward from Serbia. They were not aware of the changes in the Italian army. The Italian army in Croatia had never had the courage to take the initiative to attack. At most, they could only follow
Waving the flag and cheering behind them, now that France has become a coward, it is normal for the Italians to be affected a little.
The goal of the US-British coalition in the Hungarian battlefield was very simple, which was to reach Budapest. In addition to destroying Yang Feng's bombing base, it also cut off the logistics supply of the main Austro-Hungarian Army in the Carpathian Mountains, and then the Russian army broke through this line of defense.
Then put the two million Russian troops on the opposite side into the Central European plains, attack from the north and south with the British-Russian allied forces moving from the north, and attack them to the gates of Vienna to force the Allies to engage in peace talks, and then strive for as many benefits as possible, even if they lose five billion.
I gritted my teeth and accepted it, but 30 billion really makes people want to die.
Of course, this is the idea in the minds of high-level governments of various countries, but when you deceive the soldiers, you must not say that you are fighting hard, and then use your lives and blood to exchange for less compensation after we surrender. In that case, the soldiers will be beaten long ago.
The gang was defeated. Among the slogans they promoted were nothing more than clichés such as national sovereignty, justice and evil, freedom and democracy, but because the Chinese, especially the liberators of Budapest Airport, dropped bombs all over Europe under the order of the Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince.
Okay, at this time, the soldiers of the Allied Powers still have enough desire to fight.
Driven by hatred, a total of 300,000 U.S. and British troops attacked desperately on the Hungarian plains, approaching Budapest step by step. Due to insufficient troops and insufficient supplies of supplies, the Central and Austrian coalition forces led by Archduke Ferdinand were faced with a difficult situation.
The enemy's fierce attack can only be retreated step by step.
At this time, in distant Chelyabinsk, the last battle on the battlefield east of the Ural Mountains finally came to an end. Archduke Nicholas, who had been holding on in this city for two months, finally sadly admitted defeat. He led
The remaining Russian troops of less than 30,000 troops withdrew from Chelyabinsk and fled to Ufa. So far, except for several small Russian military strongholds along the Ural River in the south, the entire Asian part of Russia was captured by Emperor Yang.
However, the Chinese Army has no plans to continue to attack the Volga River Basin. At this time, Siberia is still covered in ice and snow, and material transportation is very difficult. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Grand Duke Nicholas to stay in Chelyabinsk for so long. In fact, Yang Feng
There is no plan to attack the Volga River Basin at all. It is not Siberia. There are not many Russians east of the Ural Mountains. Most of them are in the main settlements along the railways and rivers. The others are a mess of ethnic groups. These people are not
They will fight for Russia, no matter who is their ruler, they even welcome the Chinese, especially the ethnic groups in Central Asia. During the entire Central Asian war, ethnic groups such as Kazakhs did not show any resistance to their new masters.
But it is different after crossing the Ural Line. That is the core area of the Russian nation. They will never welcome the Chinese to rule them. The fighting nation is not just a boast. They really want to engage in guerrilla warfare in the vast land.
, then even if we occupy these places, the gains outweigh the losses.
Therefore, the best way to deal with these places is to let the Russians bleed for fun. After Comrade Vladimir succeeds, let the White Army armed by himself take charge of the attack. William will definitely support a group in the west by then.
, then move forward from both sides and let the Russians kill the Russians. After a few more years, there will be no pressure to reduce the country's population to tens of millions. A Russian Empire with a total population of no more than 70 million is the best, and the population exceeds
With 100 million, Russia must resolutely attack.
As for the Volga River Basin, it doesn’t matter whether Yang Feng occupies it or not. He has already occupied enough places and he does not lack this. Of course, it is still necessary in terms of negotiation conditions. Not only must it be added, but also
You must put on a posture of persisting to the end, otherwise you will not be able to strengthen Nikolai's will to fight. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
