878 Hamburg Treaty
With this kind of proposal, Chu Bai didn't even have the interest to read it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Datang's conditions can be said to be extremely harsh on Russia:
The first was the abdication of Tsar Alexander I.
The second is the culprit, and those primarily responsible for the Istanbul massacre should be sentenced to execution for ****** crimes.
Thirdly, Russia should not get involved in any Bulgarian and Byzantine regional politics. Datang means that Bulgaria can be independent, but it must be dominated by Datang and with the participation of the broad Bulgarian people. The Tang refused to recognize the Russian proposal for Greater Bulgaria, and the part of Eastern Rumillia south of the Balkan Mountains was not recognized by the Great Tang as Bulgarian, although the main local population was Bulgarians. The Tang Dynasty merged Thrace (the European part of Turkey, which also included Western Thrace, which also included Greece in the other) with Eastern Rumilia to establish a Thracian sovereign domain. The so-called sovereign territory means that the place is not a country and does not belong to Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece or Russia. However, Thrace was not independent, and the Tang Dynasty arranged a state of trusteeship for Thrace, and the Tang Dynasty sent personnel to restore and rebuild and govern it after the war. Datang did not directly annex it as an overseas territory, because it didn't look good, but nominally it was sovereign, but in fact Datang controlled this place, so it was fine. On the contrary, Datang also gave an illusory sweet date, and the Russian Black Sea Fleet could pass through the Bosphorus after being reported and allowed by the Datang Fleet in Thrace. The reason why this is said to be illusory is because once there is a real conflict, how can Datang let the Russians pass through the Bosphorus.
Fourth, Datang could withdraw its troops from St. Petersburg and withdraw to Estonia, but Datang demanded to redraw the eastern border with Russia. With the Caucasus Mountains, the Ural Mountains and the Ural River as the borders, the border between Tsarist Russia and the Tang Dynasty was divided. In this way, Russia will become a completely European country, and not an inch of its territory will remain in Asia. This adjustment even includes the Georgian region that Datang has not yet occupied, and the division is also quite domineering, with the entire Caucasus Mountains moving along the middle line, from Novorossiysk to Sochi, the area at the southern foot of the mountain peak, has been snatched out of Russia's hands. Although it is said that border demarcation is used rather than that Russia ceded land, in practice there is no difference.
Datang's opening conditions, in the words of the European media, are simply harsh and the pinnacle. If it is really implemented, Russia will lose nearly a third of its territory, and even the face of the tsar will not be saved, and it will be ousted from power.
The Russian representative immediately refused, and Chu Bai was not interested in continuing talks with him, and the negotiations were interrupted.
Immediately afterward, the troops mobilized by Datang finally landed in Istanbul, and the Russian army had withdrawn from the city a few days earlier, leaving behind a ruin with few living people. Not only did the Don Army occupy Istanbul, but the Air Force again began to carry out large-scale bombardment of the Russian troops retreating north. In the land of Thrace, it is difficult for the Russian army to find any cover, almost every bombing by the bombers of the Tang Army is enough to take away hundreds of lives, and the Tang Dynasty has dropped thousands of tons of bombs for three consecutive days, even including the solidification ******, and the Russian army has lost more than 20,000 people.
At the same time, the Tang Dynasty's bombing of Moscow, St. Petersburg and other major cities also continued, and this time not only Russia's industrial facilities and military facilities were hit, but even some important government facilities and even the mansions of nobles were visited by bombs. At this time, the nobles also panicked, they did not feel that it was useful to leave their anger to the Tang people, so they began to complain and put pressure on Tsar Alexander I.
In the end, Datang's air raids also fell on the Kremlin. The intensity is controlled, and the Datang Air Force only blew up a corner of the Kremlin, but it still looks particularly conspicuous from the outside.
Alexander I knew that there was no point in insisting on meaninglessly, and the will of the Tang Dynasty was firm. So he bargained, on the basis of the conditions put forward by the Tang Dynasty, hoping to retain his throne, and at the same time wishing to be bounded by the Yenisei River instead of the Ural Mountains and the Ural River, which was a counteroffer for millions of square kilometers of land. To punish those who commit war crimes, Alexander I offered to be tried by Russia and dealt with by Russia. Or, the trial is conducted by an international trial tribunal with the participation of European judges, in which Russia can also participate. As for the Bulgarian solution, he fully accepted it.
After Chu Bai received this counteroffer, he did not completely tear it to pieces domineeringly, he proposed: the Ural Mountains, the Ural River, and the Caucasus Mountains are the boundaries that cannot be changed, and the trial of war criminals must be carried out by the victor of the Tang Dynasty, which is also unchangeable; The tsar could not abdicate, but he had to make an apology and put himself under house arrest for a year.
Tsarist Russia also tried to repay the price several times later, but in the process of the Datang bombing still did not stop, the Russian army's losses were getting bigger and bigger, and more Russian cities were also visited by the Datang Air Force bombers, Alexander I couldn't bear the pressure, and finally agreed to sign the treaty.
In June 1806, Tang Russia signed the Treaty of Hamburg in Hamburg, which finally ended the Balkan War, which lasted for nearly three years. In this war, the Austrian Empire disappeared, Germany annexed the German District of Austria, and Hungary became independent. The Kingdom of Yugoslavia was established in the Balkans and was considered a great power, but its internal strife remained unresolved and hidden dangers were buried. The Ottoman Turkish Empire was completely destroyed, and Bulgaria and Thrace were established one after another, and Thrace was effectively equivalent to the overseas territories of the Tang Dynasty. Turkey's civil war is still ongoing, and Datang and European countries uphold an embargo attitude and do not clearly support either side. Russia also suffered a major blow, not only losing the whole of Siberia, but even nearly 100,000 troops, and destroying more than 30 percent of the industries it had built with great difficulty.
Datang did not pay a price, and the devastating results of the war made Datang overspend about 40 percent of its military spending this year. The actual cost was more than all the other countries in the entire Balkan War combined, and there is no way to do it. Of course, Datang's income is also huge, Zhonghanhai Province and West Hanhai Province were established one after another, and Yuzi Province was established in Central Asia Datang. Millions of square kilometers of newly acquired land will have little effect in the short term, but in the long run, it will be a wealth left to future generations, an immeasurable wealth.
