In the city of Ufa, which has become a ruin, in the temporary headquarters of the five-nation coalition forces in the underground tunnel, the commander of the Russian army, Sonokopsky, was very dissatisfied because the army units of Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Turkish Empire were all about to withdraw from Russia. What else is there to work together? You should hurry up and leave the lands of our Russian Empire, as for the Chinese Empire, our Russian Empire will definitely fight them to the end under the leadership of His Majesty the Tsar. ”

Hindenburg sighed and said: "General Sonokopsky, after this poisonous gas counterattack by the Chinese Imperial Army, can't you Russia see the current situation clearly?" Now that the Chinese Empire has completely occupied the initiative in this war, and the navy of our remaining five countries has been completely defeated, and the situation is also the case with the army, it is better to make peace with the Chinese Empire earlier, end this war, and then recuperate and regain strength to compete with the Chinese Empire again in the future. ”

After a pause, Hindenburg continued: "And in this war, we Germany, as well as Italy, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Turkish Empire, will inevitably choose to negotiate an armistice with the Chinese Empire, these are not things that our front-line commanders can decide, General Sonokopsky, to tell the truth, without the help of our four countries, it is difficult to stop the fierce Chinese Imperial Army by relying only on Russia's own strength, I think you Russia had better see the situation clearly." Together with our 4 countries, we will negotiate an armistice with the Chinese Empire. End this war, don't hold on. ”

Sonokokopski opened his mouth and didn't say anything more. In fact, Sonokopski is also very clear in his heart about the current situation that Russia is facing, and he also knows that once the four countries of Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire withdraw from this war, they will not be able to continue to fight hard with the Chinese Empire by relying on Russia alone. Gone are the same.

However, Tsar Nicholas II was bent on fighting with the Chinese Empire to the end, and this was not something that Sonokopsky could control, if Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Turkish Empire completely withdrew from the war, Tsar Nicholas II still had to insist, and he, a general loyal to the Tsar, could only go all the way to the dark with Tsar Nicholas II.

The troops of the Imperial Army of the Chinese Empire, relying on the terrifying power of a large number of mustard gas shells, defeated millions of allied troops on the front line of the Ural Mountains and captured the stronghold of these millions of allied forces, the city of Zeutoust. The troops of the Imperial Army of the Chinese Empire did not continue to attack in the direction of the city of Ufa, but stopped at the city of Zwutoust.

The mustard shells and mustard aerial bombs that the Chinese Empire had urgently transported to the front line in the Ural Mountains by transport planes had been exhausted in the attack on the afternoon of May 23, 1909. And the artillery units of the main forces of the 17 Imperial Chinese Imperial Army on the front line of the Ural Mountains, the shells of large-caliber howitzers in reserve, on the night of May 16 and 17. In order to suppress the firing of Allied gas shells, almost three-quarters of them were also used. Relying on the logistical replenishment capabilities of the front line in the Ural Mountains, it is impossible to replenish the shells of large-caliber howitzers too much in a short time. In addition, the Royal Air Force of the Imperial Chinese People's Republic of China has also delayed the replenishment of ordinary aerial bombs because of the delivery of mustard gas artillery shells and mustard gas aerial bombs, and there are not many aerial bombs in reserve at temporary airfields east of the Ural Mountains.

If you want to continue to attack Ufa City, more than a dozen main forces of the Royal Army of the Chinese Imperial Army must be prepared sufficiently, at least large-caliber howitzer shells, as well as aerial bombs of the Royal Air Force.

However, the main reason why the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire, which had captured the city of Zwutoust, did not continue its offensive in the direction of Ufa was that the representatives of Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire strongly demanded that an armistice be immediately launched with the Chinese Empire, and that as long as the Chinese Empire agreed to negotiate and temporarily stopped continuing its attacks on the army units of the four countries on the Russian battlefield, all conditions could be negotiated.

The Chinese Empire's poison gas counterattack was too sharp, and the German Emperor Wilhelm II was scared half to death at once, you must know that Germany can produce mustard gas, but the production technology is not mature, and the output is not large, and the mustard gas used in the poison gas raid on the Chinese Imperial Army has basically exhausted Germany's reserves in recent years.

Wilhelm II knew the horror of mustard gas, and now the Chinese Empire released at least several thousand tons of mustard gas to the 5-nation coalition forces at once, and Wilhelm II's frightened heart was about to jump out, if the navy of the Chinese Empire came to the German coastline and then fired mustard gas cannonballs at the German coastal cities, then for Germany, the scene was absolutely unimaginable.

Wilhelm II didn't care about his own face and prestige, and immediately asked the German representatives who had arrived in Beijing to hold armistice negotiations with the Reich as soon as possible, as long as Germany could withdraw from the war, Germany could pay a certain price.

As the boss of the Allied Powers, they were all frightened by the poisonous gas warfare of the Chinese Empire, and the remaining three younger brothers of the Allied Powers would not stand up, and immediately ordered the representatives sent by the three countries to Beijing to rush to Beijing as soon as possible, meet with the German representatives, and seize the time to hold armistice negotiations with the Chinese Empire. It's none of the Allies' business.

In this war with 9 powerful countries, the Chinese Empire basically sang all the way and continued to win one victory after another, but the materials consumed were absolutely astronomical, even if the national strength of the Chinese Empire was not bad, and it was supported by Lin Daxin, the richest man in the world. The war has been fought until now, and most of the various supplies that the Chinese Empire has stockpiled over the years have consumed. In particular, weapons and ammunition would have been produced 24 hours a day if it weren't for the 24-hour uninterrupted production of the major arsenals of the Chinese Empire. Perhaps this war, the Chinese Empire has long been unable to fight.

And in this war, the Chinese Empire has occupied a lot of territory, and it already takes a lot of energy for the Chinese Empire to digest these new territories, and the emperor of the Chinese Empire, Lin Daxin, is already very satisfied with the spoils of this war, if it weren't for the fact that the 5-nation coalition suddenly launched a poison gas attack on the troops on the front line of the Ural Mountains of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire. More than 100,000 casualties were inflicted on the Imperial Army of the Chinese Empire, and as soon as Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Turkish Empire proposed to negotiate, Lin Daxin would have agreed immediately.

Now the mustard gas of the Chinese Empire has brought millions of casualties to the coalition army, and it can be regarded as revenge, and even doubled the interest, so Lin Daxin thought about it for a while, and agreed to immediately start armistice negotiations with Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and at the same time ordered the 17 main armies on the front line to temporarily stop the offensive against the 5-nation coalition forces.

After representatives of Italy, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Turkish Empire arrived in Beijing to join the German representatives. Armistice negotiations were held with representatives of the Chinese Empire without stopping.

On May 27, 1909, the negotiators of the two sides formally held armistice talks, because the four Allied countries were bent on withdrawing from the war, and the Chinese Empire did not make demands that would be unacceptable to the four countries, so only three days later. The two sides reached an agreement.

Of course, the Chinese Empire does not think that the requirements of the Chinese Empire are too much, but it feels very harsh on the four Allied countries. But people had to bow their heads under the roof, and the Allies saw no hope of victory in this war. In order to get out as soon as possible, I had to pinch my nose and admit it. A series of conditions were agreed to by the Chinese Empire.

The armistice agreement stipulated that the four Allied countries needed to formally and publicly apologize to the Chinese Empire for starting the war, Germany needed to cede a large part of its German East African colonies, that is, the entire Kenya region, to the Chinese Empire as part of the war reparations, Italy needed to cede the Somali region of the Italian East African colonies to the Chinese Empire, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire needed to cede Kuwait from its territory and also to the Chinese Empire as war reparations.

In addition, Germany had to pay war reparations equivalent to about 50 million pounds, Italy 25 million pounds, Austria-Hungary 60 million pounds, and Ottoman Turkey 15 million pounds.

Germany and Italy both have a number of colonies in Africa, such as Germany's colonies in Africa at this time, including German East Africa, the Keonga Triangle and German Southwest Africa, of which German East Africa includes Kenya, ********, Rwanda and Burundi, and the Chinese Empire only ceded more than 582,000 square kilometers of Kenya to Germany this time.

Italy's colonies in Africa at this time were Italian East Africa, including Somalia and Eritrea, and this time the Chinese Empire gave up Somalia with an area of more than 637,000 square kilometers, leaving Italy with only a 125,000 square kilometers of Eritrea in Africa, which was also Italy's only overseas colony after the war.

This time, the Somali region and the Kenya region that the Chinese Empire wanted were next to each other, and in this way, the Chinese Empire suddenly owned a territory of 1.22 million square kilometers in Africa.

The Ottoman Turkish Empire, which currently owns Turkey, Iraq, Kuwait, Syria, Jordan, Palestine, Israel, Cyprus, and the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia and western Yemen, was ceding only 17,800 square kilometers of Kuwait.

As for the Austro-Hungarian Empire did not have overseas colonies, and its homeland was in Europe, so in this armistice negotiation, the Chinese Empire had to ask Austria-Hungary for some war reparations, but Austria-Hungary was not rich, and Austria-Hungary could not take out more than that, and in the end it was only 10 million pounds sterling in compensation from Germany, and a total of 60 million pounds of war reparations needed to be paid to the Chinese Empire, and Austria-Hungary could only pay it in 10 years, and the interest could not be paid, and the Chinese Empire generously exempted Italy from the interest on installments.

When Wang Yan, the prime minister of the Chinese Empire, presented the armistice treaty agreed upon by the two sides to Lin Daxin, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, Lin Daxin looked at the armistice and nodded and said: "This armistice agreement is okay, from this armistice agreement, we have received Kenya from Germany, Somalia from Italy, Kuwait from the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and 150 million pounds of war reparations. ”

Wang Yan said: "Then the minister immediately asked our negotiators to sign an armistice agreement with the negotiators of Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire, but the emperor, our Chinese Empire asked for Kuwait of the Ottoman Turkish Empire this time, and the minister can still understand, the minister learned from the emperor that Kuwait has a lot of oil underground, and it is not too far from the territory of our Chinese Empire, but Kenya in Germany and Somalia in Italy are both in Africa, and the resources are not very good. And it's quite far away from our Chinese Empire, and all the people living on it are blacks, and our Chinese Empire has gained enough territory in this war, and it is not easy to digest these newly acquired territories, and now it has made a territory of more than 1 million square kilometers in Africa, which is really incomprehensible. ”

Lin Daxin said with a smile: "Our Chinese Empire has always been called an empire, but there is no colony in the traditional sense, this time we want Kenya and Somalia, I am going to merge these two areas into the East African colony of the Chinese Empire, we can take the indigenous people of the Nanyang provinces, as well as the indigenous and white immigrants in Australia and New Zealand, and some indigenous peoples in other regions who do not obey the rule of our Chinese Empire, all of them will emigrate to the new East African colonies of our Chinese Empire, so that The land of our Chinese Empire is much cleaner, and the land we have newly occupied will always be passed on to our children and grandchildren.
