The two little princes probably had never experienced this kind of scene, Roque and Alexander Ribo, Kitchener were like three tribunes, looking the two princes up and down, the two princes became more and more cramped, Roque was lamenting in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of madness Karl I had, and sending these two little princes to negotiate peace seemed like a joke.

"Please sit down, two princes, don't you introduce yourself?" At the headquarters of the British Expeditionary Force, Roque was the landlord, so Roque opened his mouth to say hello.

The two princes were very obedient, let them sit down, let themselves introduce themselves: "Uh, my name is Heath-"

"My name is Sewell—"

And then it's over.

Finished?

Roque was confused, and when he looked at Alexander Ribault and Kitchener, they were also in the middle of a beat.

"We have come by the will of His Majesty the Great Austro-Hungarian Emperor Karl to seek a peaceful end to this war, which has been going on for four years, and Europe is in devastation, and all the countries involved in it have suffered heavy losses—" Heath plucked up courage, not everyone could talk in front of Roque and other high-ranking officials of the Entente powers.

Tsk, inadvertently, Roque can now be regarded as a high-ranking official of the Entente, and in the military field, no one can compare with Roque, including Petain.

"Your Highness, if you want to make peace, then we can do it in a more formal setting." Alexander Ribault did not want to negotiate with the two princes at the headquarters of the British Expeditionary Force, and if the negotiations were successful, it would be a major event that would go down in history, and Alexander Ribault hoped that France would play a greater role.

"Oh-oh, of course, may I ask you are-" Heath had memorized those words for a long time, and now he was timidly as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I'm Alexandre Ribault, Prime Minister of France." Alexander Ribo is not angry, shouldn't he do some homework before leaving?

"I am Horatio Herbert Kitchener, British Secretary of War." Kitchener didn't wait for Heath to ask, and then took the initiative to report home.

Roque didn't speak, since the two princes had found the British Expeditionary Force Command, they should know Roque's identity.

Sure enough, Heath greeted Roque first: "Good evening, Lord Nyasaland, it's a pleasure to meet you-"

"Hello Your Highness—" Roque got up and went out to find Angel and ask Angel to send a telegram to Winston.

Winston's telegram was soon replied, asking Roque to hold the two princes in any way and not allow the French government to take the lead in contacts with Austria-Hungary.

This request is not difficult, and Kitchener is not stupid, he knows what to do by looking at Roque's expression, and directly arranges for the two princes to rest at Roque's headquarters first, and the negotiation will be talked about tomorrow, anyway, it will not be over in a day or two.

Roque woke up to Winston arriving in Dunkirk.

It is estimated that Winston has not slept since receiving Roque's telegram, and although his expression is very haggard, his spirit is unusually high.

"Don't get your hopes up too much for Winston, the Germans are not involved, this should be the private act of Karl I." Roque is not optimistic about the prospects of negotiations, and although Roque does not know these specific details during the World War, Roque knows how the World War ended.

Not peace negotiations anyway.

"Anyway, it's a good start, what about Prime Minister Ribo?" Winston can't wait, and if he can solve the problem at the negotiating table, it will be the best.

"Prime Minister Ribault returned to Paris overnight yesterday, and it is estimated that he also had to discuss with President Ponengale, do you want to meet the two princes first?" Roque didn't want to get involved in the, the German offensive was still going on, and two divisions of the Canadian Corps had already been disabled, and Roque sent a telegram to Arthur Kerry asking if he needed more reinforcements.

Arthur Kerry rejected Roque's kindness, two divisions were disabled, Arthur Kerry sent four more divisions, and the Canadian Corps still had room to spare.

At the outbreak of the World War, Canada had a population of about 8 million, and it was these 8 million people who burst out with unparalleled energy, and in another time and space, Canada mobilized 620,000 people to participate in the war, 66,655 people were killed in battle, and 172,950 were injured.

Canada in this time and space is still very powerful, and now on the Western Front, the strength of the Canadian Legion has exceeded 250,000 and is still increasing.

"No, I'll go to Paris at once, and you will send the two princes over tomorrow, remember, to ensure the safety of the two princes absolutely-" Winston must first go to Paris and Ponn Caré to determine the bottom line, regardless of whether the negotiations can be successful or not, and treat them correctly.

With Winston in charge, Roque continued to focus on fighting the Germans, and in Belgium, the Southern African Expeditionary Force was ready to attack the fortress of Liège.

When the Germans attacked the fortress of Liège four years ago, they destroyed almost all the fortresses of the fortress of the scorching sun.

Now that these forts have been rebuilt and are still evenly distributed on both sides of the Merz River, the difference is that the Liege fortress is now larger, the fortress is stronger, and there are more German troops guarding the fortress of Liège and can receive a steady stream of reinforcements from Germany, so the Southern African Expeditionary Force faces more difficulties than the German army four years ago.

Of course, the Southern African Expeditionary Force also has its own advantages, compared with the German army four years ago, the Southern African Expeditionary Force has stronger combat effectiveness, more advanced weapons, and more skilled cooperation between different arms, and the key is that the Southern African Expeditionary Force has almost unlimited logistics supply, which is incomparable with the German army.

"The fortress of Liège has a total of 12 fortresses, evenly distributed on both sides of the Merz River in a circle, the German army garrisoned nearly 300,000 people in the fortress of Liège, with the central fortress as the center, each fortress has about 5,000 defenders, no matter which direction we attack, we will be attacked by at least three fortresses intensively." Don Juan, commander of the 2nd Cavalry Division, was at a loss, and the fortress of Liège was the most difficult bone to gnaw on after the Southern African Expeditionary Force arrived in Europe.

"How did the Germans break through the fortress of Liège in the first place?" Wei Zheng, the commander of the 11th Division, was very curious, the German army four years ago had no planes, no tanks, although there were large-caliber artillery, but the number of artillery was not much, and the advantage was not obvious.

"The level of the Belgians in building fortifications is far worse than that of the Germans, and the Belgian forces are far inferior to the German army, if the German army was facing a fortress like the current scorching sun, then I am afraid that the German army will also go around the fortress of Liège." Hausman, the commander of the 103rd Division, was holding a huge enamel jar full of coffee, and it was the unsweetened kind.

"What then, can we walk around as well?" Wei Zheng's fingers paddled downstream along the Moz River on the sand table, and it wasn't far before he rowed, hey, he had already reached the territory of the Netherlands.

Wei Zheng's fingers froze, Don Juan touched his chin thoughtfully, and the eyes of the other generals flashed with danger.

"Gentlemen, calm down, the Netherlands are not at war, they are neutral." Haussmann's head is as big as a bean, the generals of the Southern African Expeditionary Force—

Well, there's nothing they don't dare to do.

"The Queen of the Netherlands and the Emperor of Germany seem to be cousins—" Don Juan seemed to mumble to himself, but the voice was not small, at least the generals could hear it clearly.

"It seems that the Queen of the Netherlands is the niece of Uncle Wilhelm II—" Some people know more about these royal relationships.

"That's not a lot of pros!"

"Although the Netherlands had not yet entered the war, the Royal Navy had seized strategic goods smuggled from the Netherlands to Germany off the coast of Germany, so the Dutch had a position."

"If we discuss with the Netherlands, I don't know if it will be okay to enter Germany through the Netherlands-"

"Don't even think about it, the Queen of the Netherlands is not Duke Yu-"

The generals talked a lot, mentioning that "Yu Gong" was obviously a cultured story, as if it was a fake Taoist or something, the word was too complicated, the author Jun couldn't write, and he didn't bother to look up the dictionary.

"Gentlemen, gentlemen, calm down, let go of those ideas that should not be had, we cannot drag an innocent country into war at will." Haussmann didn't dare to let the generals continue to pull, and if they continued to pull, then the Netherlands would definitely be unlucky.

For these generals, it is really not very difficult to drag a certain country into the war, it is very simple to create a friction, the Southern African Expeditionary Force and the German army are fighting in Belgium, and the Netherlands has almost all the troops on the border between the Netherlands and Belgium, but this is useless, the total number of troops in the Netherlands is less than 200,000, and it is much easier to fight the Netherlands than to fight the fortress of Liège.

Later, Roque received several telegrams at the same time, and the generals were deeply divided, Don Juan and Wei Zheng wanted to make a detour to the Netherlands to invade Germany, and Haussmann did not want to burn the war to the Netherlands.

It was only then that Roque remembered that Haussmann seemed to be a Boer.

That's not good, the vast majority of Boers are Dutch, there are many Boers in the Southern African Expeditionary Force, Roque has to take care of the feelings of these Boer officers and soldiers, and the Dutch are lucky to escape.

Since the German army was heavily fortified in the fortress of Liège, Roque simply ordered the Southern African Expeditionary Force to defend on the spot, anyway, the French troops have gradually stabilized now, and the British Expeditionary Force will also have to rest for a while to regain strength.

In early May, the spring offensive gradually stopped, and the casualties of the French troops reached 350,000, of which more than 150,000 were killed.

The British Expeditionary Force suffered nearly 500,000 casualties, of which 200,000 were killed.

The Germans lost more than 800,000 men, about 80 percent of which were caused by the British Expeditionary Force.

Roque did not know how Winston and Alexander Ribeau talked to the two princes, Karl I really did not inform the Germans, and in order to stop the war, Karl I even promised to return Alsace and Lorraine to France.

It is estimated that if the Germans knew Karl I's promise, they would be eager to kill Karl I, Alsace and Lorraine are now German territory, France ceded to Germany after the Franco-Prussian War, and now Karl I is actually the master of the Germans, and he wants to return Alsace and Lorraine to France, and I don't know where Karl I got such a big face.
