U.S. President William? Howard? After Taft made up his mind to mediate the war between the Allies and the Allies in Europe, he immediately called the Allies and the Allies, hoping that each country would send representatives to negotiate a solution to the war in Europe.

In fact, many countries in the Entente and the Central Powers also hoped to end the war as soon as possible, especially when the Chinese Empire, the common enemy of Europe, was watching the excitement next to them, so the Entente and the Allies expressed their willingness to give the Americans this face after consulting with each other, and finally the countries put the venue of the European war negotiations in Geneva, the second largest city in Switzerland.

U.S. President William? Howard? Taft, as a mediator, personally rushed to Geneva, in order to expand the scale of this European consultation, the United States brought its ally Japan to Geneva, Japanese Prime Minister Katsura Taro flew directly to Geneva, Katsura Taro will also meet with US President William? Howard? Taft as one of the mediators of this European war.

Compared with the Allies, the Entente countries, which are currently in an unfavorable situation on the battlefield, hope to end this European war as soon as possible. Henry? Asquiz and French President Armand? Fallier, who had personally flown to Geneva to attend the conference that had the best hope of ending the war in Europe, sent Tsar Nicholas II's confidant, Russian Chancellor of Finance and Foreign Minister Sage ? Werther flew to Geneva.

Although the Ottoman Empire currently occupies the advantage on the battlefield, but it is still far away to completely defeat the Entente Britain, France and Russia, except for the Ottoman Turkish Empire because it hopes to use this war to avenge the previous 10 Russian-Turkish wars, and has some ideas, the other countries of the Central Powers are also very willing to end this European war.

Germany sent German Chancellor Hohenlohe to the meeting, and Austria-Hungary sent Austro-Hungarian Chancellor Franch? Koeman, Italy sent Italian Prime Minister Brandra, and Spain sent Spanish Prime Minister Carlos? Navarro, although the Ottoman Turkish Empire was unwilling to end the European war like this, but the Minister of Defense, Enver Pasha, one of the three giants of the Young Turks, also flew to Geneva himself.

Both the Entente and the Central Powers saw that this European war, no matter which side it was, would inevitably become a protracted war, and if the Entente and the Central Powers did not stop the war, the whole of Europe would suffer heavy losses in this war.

On December 12, 1912, the conference led by the United States to mediate the war in Europe was officially held in Geneva. Howard? Taft personally presided over it.

U.S. President William? Howard? Taft said with a clear attitude at the beginning: "The reason why there is this meeting today is entirely because we in the United States of America believe that the war currently being fought between the Entente and the Central Powers is a war that damages the power of the entire free world, and we in the United States of America hope that this war between the Entente and the Central Powers can be ended as soon as possible. When the power of the free world is weakened to a certain extent, the iron hooves of the Chinese Empire are likely to set foot on the soil of Europe, which is definitely not alarmist, everyone should know the temperament of Lin Daxin, the emperor of the Chinese Empire! ”

Immediately afterwards, Japanese Prime Minister Katsura Taro said: "President William said very correctly, although we Japan is an Asian country, but we Japan will never favor the evil country of the Chinese Empire, most of our countries here have suffered the losses of the Chinese Empire, and the land of many countries is still occupied by the Chinese Empire, our biggest enemy should be the Chinese Empire, not the countries of the free world of each other, and now the European war between the Entente and the Central Powers, the happiest thing is the Chinese Empire. The Chinese Empire can't wait for the Entente and the Allied countries to fight each other backwards by 50 years! ”

Russian Minister of Finance and Foreign Minister Seach? Witte said at this time: "This war is not willing to be fought by our Russian Empire, but it is completely forced by Austria-Hungary, which knows that the Kingdom of Serbia is supported by our Russia, and openly invades the Kingdom of Serbia, which is the greatest provocation to the dignity of our Russian Empire." ”

Austro-Hungarian Prime Minister Franch? Coman snorted coldly and said, "Sage? Mr. Witte, you have to make it clear that our war with the Kingdom of Serbia was completely provoked by the Kingdom of Serbia, and it was you, Russia, who had to join this war for no reason, and first chose to declare war on our Austria-Hungary, and we Austria-Hungary only passively responded to the war! ”

Sage? Witte pursed his lips and said: "Your Austro-Hungarian Empire is completely planning to invade the Kingdom of Serbia and the Kingdom of Montenegro, and now the two kingdoms have all been captured by your Austro-Hungarian Empire, don't be a **** and want to set up an archway!" ”

Austro-Hungarian Prime Minister Franch? When Koman heard this, he immediately shouted angrily: "You Russians will only use the power of their tongues, and they will become waste on the battlefield, you Russians are waiting, our Austro-Crarian army will definitely come to St. Petersburg in the near future!" ”

Sage? Witte said disdainfully: "Then I will wait for the arrival of your Austro-Hungarian troops in St. Petersburg!" Hmph, if it weren't for the elite German army helping your Austro-Crarian army to launch an offensive together, with the combat effectiveness of your Austro-Hungarian army, it would be impossible to bring the flames of war to the territory of our Russian Empire! ”

U.S. President William? Howard? Seeing that the representatives of Russia and Austria-Hungary were about to quarrel, Taft immediately played a round and said: "All right! All right! Don't quarrel anymore, since everyone is here in Geneva, they are all willing to end this war that should not happen, and as for who is right and who is wrong, it doesn't matter! ”

Japanese Prime Minister Katsura Taro also immediately said: "The Chinese Empire is the enemy of all our countries, for this common enemy, we should put aside all contradictions for the time being, you must know that the Chinese Empire currently has more than 40.5 million square kilometers of land, and there is astronomical wealth, if we can defeat the Chinese Empire, the spoils that our various countries can get, will make all countries crazy!" ”

Austro-Hungarian Prime Minister Franch? Koeman and Russian Finance Minister and Foreign Minister Sage ? Witt immediately snorted coldly, and did not say anything radical against the other party.

British Prime Minister Herbert? Henry? Asquith continued: "This war in Europe really should not happen, and we in the British Empire hope that in this conference we can resolve our contradictions with each other, as President William said, the Chinese Empire is the great enemy of our whole free world!" ”

French President Armand? Fallier immediately followed suit and said: "We, the French Republic, are also willing to do everything we can to end this war!" ”

The French can be said to be the country that most wants to end the war as soon as possible, originally before the war, the French also hoped to use this war to regain the land occupied by Germany in the Franco-Prussian War, but the war has been going on for more than three months, and the course of the war is too different from what the French expected.

At present, the main battlefield on the Western Front in Europe is basically equivalent to the territory of France, which not only makes the French army lose a large number of troops, but also brings heavy losses to the French economy.

German Chancellor Hohenlohe coughed and said: "I convey to us the will of the German Emperor Wilhelm II, and our German Empire is willing to end this war in Europe under fair conditions, the fourth yellow?" Woe has already arisen, and our European strength should not be consumed between wars with each other. ”

Britain, France, and Germany basically set the tone for this meeting, and how to end this European war is the theme of this meeting.

Moreover, Britain, France and Germany basically held the leadership of the Entente and the Central Powers, and they were willing to end this European war, even if some countries were unwilling to let the war end so easily, they were powerless to stop it, and ending this sudden outbreak of the European war was already the trend of the times.

U.S. President William? Howard? Taft couldn't help but be very happy when he heard that the representatives of Britain, France and Germany had agreed to end the European war, and said to the representatives of the other countries with a smile: "Since we have basically agreed on the general direction, then we will discuss the details of the matter, and hope to sign an armistice agreement that is in line with the interests of all the countries participating in the war, and before that, I hope you can convey to your respective countries that from 8 o'clock in the morning on December 13, 1912, all battlefields will achieve a temporary cease-fire, waiting for the armistice agreement to be reached!" ”

However, it was not easy to sign an armistice agreement agreed to by both the Entente and the Allied Powers, and the representatives of the Entente and all the Allied Powers fought for the interests of their own countries in the following days, and every meeting was full of gunpowder, but under the strong pressure of the Chinese Empire, the Entente and the Allied Powers finally reached an armistice agreement on December 18, 1912, which was agreed upon by all countries.

The armistice agreement stipulated that German troops must withdraw from all of France, the Kingdom of Belgium and the Principality of Luxembourg within half a month, and that the armies of Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Turkish Empire must also withdraw from all of Russia within half a month, in addition to the withdrawal of Austria-Hungary from all of the Kingdom of Serbia and Montenegro.

The entire territory of the Kingdom of Belgium, the Duchy of Luxembourg, the Kingdom of Serbia and the Kingdom of Montenegro will be restored to the state of pre-war status, and the Entente and the Central Powers have always said to the outside world that there are no winners and losers in this European war, and the two sides are negotiating to end the state of war.

In addition, the Allies will pay the Entente 100 million pounds in compensation, and the Entente also needs to pay the Allies 150 million pounds in compensation, which is actually equivalent to the Entente's war reparations of 50 million pounds to the Allies, but because the two sides did not distinguish the winner in this European war, they used the compensation to cover it up, after all, the current situation on the battlefield is very unfavorable for the Entente, and let the Allies give up so much territory, but a little compensation is unreasonable.

As for the 50 million pounds, Russia can't get a penny, and it can only be shared equally by Britain and France, but fortunately, this European war has only been going on for 3 months, and there are still a lot of war funds left between Britain and France, and it is still very easy for the two countries to come up with 50 million pounds.

In addition, the Entente and the Central Powers exchanged prisoners unconditionally, but the weapons and equipment captured by both sides were not within the scope of the exchange, so that the Ottoman Turkish Navy would take the Russian Navy's super dreadnought battleship captured by the Ottoman Turkish Navy.

Of course, the Russians did not fail to demand that the Ottoman Turkish Navy return the super dreadnought battleship, but the Ottoman Turkish Empire made it clear that if the Ottoman Turkish Navy had to hand over the super dreadnought battleship, the Ottoman Turkish Empire would rather be the sinner of the whole of Europe than sign the armistice agreement.

The Russian Black Sea Fleet was completely annihilated by the Ottoman Turkish Navy, which lost half of its strength, and the Russians had to return this captured super dreadnought battleship.

Finally, U.S. President William? Howard? Taft agreed to help the Russian Navy build 1 Pennsylvania-class super dreadnought battleship for free, and the Russians did not continue to entangle on this super dreadnought battleship captured by the Ottoman Turkish Navy.

Austria-Hungary has always hoped to annex the Kingdom of Serbia, this time it was difficult to fully occupy the Kingdom of Serbia and the Kingdom of Montenegro, so that Austria-Hungary spit it out, Austria-Hungary was really unwilling, but under the persuasion of Germany, and Germany promised to give half of the Entente 50 million pounds to Austria-Hungary, Austria-Hungary finally gritted its teeth and signed the armistice agreement.

The Ottoman Turkish Empire was originally going to seek revenge from the Russians in this war, but now that the other countries of the Central Powers, especially Germany, the boss of the Central Powers, are unwilling to continue fighting, the Ottoman Turkish Empire can only grit its teeth and endure it.

The Russians in the Entente were still a little unwilling to end the war like this, but the Russians understood in their hearts that the Chinese Empire was Russia's henchman, so they agreed to sign the armistice agreement without their own interests being damaged.

The European war, which broke out for more than three months, came to an end under the concessions of various countries, but the contradictions between the Entente and the Allies were not completely resolved, and if it were not for the mountain of the Chinese Empire, I believe that in the future, the war between the Entente and the Allies would have to break out again.
