Theophile? Delcasse, looking at Von with a look of horror? Kidren? Vahit, in addition to horror, had disbelief in his eyes. He never imagined that the Germans would put forward such conditions! The first two conditions, whether it is the war reparations of 55 billion marks, or the transfer of all overseas colonies, are already harsh enough.

But it pales in comparison to the Germans' demand that France cede to them the territories north of the Loire and Corsica. France's territory was already small, and if it ceded the territory north of the Loire, it would be tantamount to losing half of it. What's more, the territories of northern and central France can be regarded as the most industrially developed places. If you lose those territories, France will be completely finished, and it will be reduced from a world-class industrial power to an industrial weak country.

Such a France can no longer be regarded as a world-class power, but can only be regarded as a small third-rate country. At that time, France could only survive on the snort of the Germans, let alone seek revenge from the Germans. Having lost the most prosperous and developed north-central region, France no longer had the capital to seek revenge on the Germans.

Theophile? Delcasse now understood that, from the very beginning, Germany had not thought of sparing France. They had always made up their mind to weaken France as much as possible, so that France no longer posed a threat to Germany.

From the Germans' point of view, this is the right thing to do in order to protect their own interests and position. However, from the point of view of the French, such harsh conditions were unacceptable. If such conditions were accepted, then France would be no different from a dead country.

"Your Excellency, such conditions are too harsh, aren't they? You have directly claimed half of the territory of France, which is still the most prosperous and developed half. Even Paris, the capital of the French Republic, is included. After losing those territories, is France still France? The German Empire is trying to wipe us out! "Theophel? Delcasce's face was sad and indignant.

"Your Excellency, you should know that the German Empire is capable of destroying France. As long as our army continues to advance southward, it will take a month at most to capture all French territory. When the time comes, do you still have a choice? I'm afraid we can only let it be slaughtered! Now, the Empire is able to leave half of France's territory, and it is already forgiving you. Washitt said.

"Humph! Your Excellency, Chancellor. You are doing this to extort more war reparations from the French Republic and to ensure that the colonies are handed over to you smoothly! If the French government goes into exile and resists. You won't get a single franc in war reparations, and the overseas colonies won't be so easy to get. "Theophel? Delcasse said.

Vahit nodded: "Indeed, we have this in mind. But if France is willing to accept our terms, preferring to go into exile, then we have no other choice but to send troops to occupy all of France. As for the war reparations, although they cannot be obtained, it does not matter, we can regain the wealth in France. I believe that by then we will have acquired more than 55 billion marks. As for those overseas colonies, we can also send troops to capture them. The German Empire had the most powerful army and navy in the world, and I believe that it would not be a problem to take all of those colonies with a little time. ”

"If you are going to plunder the riches of France, you will provoke the anger of the people. When the time comes, you will encounter unprecedented resistance! "Theophel? Delcasse said through gritted teeth.

"It doesn't matter. We have learned a lot about resistance. If you are willing to submit and be a good citizen, it is naturally the best. If you don't want to, then kill them all. Even if there is a river of blood in France, we don't care. Anyway, it's all the French who died! Vahit said nonchalantly.

"Bastard! Are you going to kill all the French? "Theophel? Delcasse said angrily.

"You won't kill them all, at most one or two million people. I think all the French will be as well-behaved as rabbits. Washitt said.

"Devil! You are all devils. If you kill innocents like this, God will send you to hell! "Theophel? Delcasse was furious. What is the difference between the Germans and the devil?

"Well, Your Excellency, it's useless not to say this. The third condition of the empire, whether your country agrees or not! Vahit asked.

"No, never! The French Republic would never agree to such conditions. What's the difference between that and the death of the country? In that case, the French Republic would rather fight to the death. "Theophel? Delcasse said firmly.

Vahit nodded, "Very well, I see what you mean." Well, from now on, our negotiations can be regarded as broken. I will report to His Majesty the Emperor. The Imperial Army would continue its offensive until France was completely destroyed. ”

Theophile? Delcasse was stunned, if the Germans really continued to attack, France would not be able to resist it in any way. The weak French* army was already frightened. There was simply no courage to continue fighting the powerful German army. If the war continues, there will be only one result, and that is the destruction of France.

As Washitt put it, after the destruction of France, Germany could still get everything they wanted. It's just that it takes a little more time. France, however, ceased to exist.

What is this for Theophel? Delcasse, as well as other senior French government officials, was undoubtedly unacceptable. France was able to survive even though it had lost half of its territory. In that case, it seems better than being destroyed!

"Your Excellency, I have no authority to agree to your country's conditions. I'll report back to the country. However, I think the chances of the French government agreeing are very small. "Theophel? Delcasse said.

Feel Théophile? Delcasser's attitude shifted, and Vahit couldn't help but feel a little proud.

"Your Excellency, I am sure that there will be wise people in your government. They're sure to make the right choice! Washitt said.
