Four billion Chinese dollars is undoubtedly a large amount. However, for France, in reality, it was not an unacceptable reparation. After the defeat of the Franco-Prussian War in history, France compensated Prussia with 5 billion francs, which is 800 million Chinese dollars when converted into Chinese dollars. However, it took the French only three years to pay it off. Now, the Chinese side has raised the reparations to 4 billion Chinese dollars, which is only eight times more than that.

Of course, now France, the territory has been reduced by almost half. The ability to repay and the like will definitely be greatly reduced. However, overall, it should be no problem to pay it off within 20 years. What's more, France is already rich, although they are not the world's leading powers in industry, but in the operation of capital, they are ahead. Otherwise, France would not be known as a usury empire.

Although, the four countries of China, Spain and Prussia determined that the war reparations to be repaid by France were four billion Chinese dollars. But how do you distribute these four billion dollars? Every country will definitely want to be able to take a little more share of these 4 billion Chinese dollars.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since we have determined the war reparations of 4 billion Chinese dollars, what proportion of these indemnities can we each have?" Imperial Prime Minister Lin Zihao asked. Four billion Chinese dollars, the empire will definitely have a large share of it. After all, the empire was the main force in the destruction of France. The two allies of the empire, the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium, were also bloody. On the other hand, the Kingdom of Prussia simply joined in at the last moment to pick up the bargain, and its behavior was very bad.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Kingdom of Spain believes. The Kingdom of Spain deserves a thirty percent share of France's war reparations! After all. In the war against France, the Spanish kingdom invested millions of troops! Spanish Prime Minister Duke Valencia said first. If you can get a 30% share. That's 1.2 billion Chinese dollars. This is undoubtedly a huge amount of money for the Kingdom of Spain.

"The Kingdom of Belgium deserves a thirty percent share of these war reparations! In order to fight against France, the Kingdom of Belgium paid a huge price, and even most of its territory was lost. We need to use this war reparations for the reconstruction of our country! Belgian Prime Minister Charles. Rozhye also said.

The members of the delegation of the Kingdom of Prussia did not look very good, and the Kingdom of Spain and Belgium were asking for 60% of the total amount of reparations as soon as they came, so what did they do? The remaining forty percent. The Chinese Empire will definitely take the lion's lead, so what about the Kingdom of Prussia?

"The Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium demanded too much of a share, and the Kingdom of Prussia objected. The Kingdom of Prussia thinks that we deserve twenty percent of this war reparation! "Otto, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia. Feng. Bismarck said. He also knew that the Kingdom of Prussia had not done much in the war to destroy France, and if it wanted to take the lead, it would definitely be opposed by several other countries.

"Guys, you're asking too much. The Chinese Empire was the main force in the destruction of France. If it were not for the offensive of our millions of elite troops. France simply could not perish. Therefore, the Chinese Empire needs to receive fifty percent of this war reparation! Lin Zihao also said expressionlessly. Since everyone is talking widely, of course he will not have any scruples.

The parties fought for more war reparations. Immediately an argument broke out. A total of 4 billion Chinese dollars in war reparations, even if it is an additional 1 percent share, that is 40 million Chinese dollars! Four powerful battleships are there!

"Ladies and gentlemen. It's not an option to continue arguing like this. Let's give each of us a step! The Reich demanded only forty-five percent of the reparations, with the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium each reducing five percent. The remaining five percent will go to the Kingdom of Prussia! Lin Zihao said. After all. Five percent is equivalent to 200 million Chinese dollars, which is not a lot. It was only at the end of the war that the Prussians sent troops to conquer the territory of northeastern France. There is no loss at all. In this way, they will be able to obtain 200 million Chinese dollars in war reparations, which is already a big profit.

"This distribution plan is good!" This was stated by the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Spain, the Duke of Valencia. The Kingdom of Spain received twenty-five percent, which is also a billion Chinese dollars. That's 800 million dollars more than the Prussians' share of five percent.

"The Kingdom of Belgium also accepts this distribution!" Belgian Prime Minister Charles. Rozhye also said.

"No, the Kingdom of Prussia is against it!" Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck's face turned pale. The war reparations received by the Kingdom of Prussia were only one-fifth of that of the two small kingdoms of Spain and Belgium, which is too bullying!

"So, Lord Bismarck, how much do you think the Kingdom of Prussia should receive? We have agreed before that the distribution of benefits should be based on the contribution made by each country in the war. Lin Zihao said.

"Your Excellency Lin Zihao, the Kingdom of Prussia also made a lot of contributions in the war against France. At the beginning of the war, without the 200,000 troops of the Kingdom of Prussia entering the Kingdom of Belgium, how could the Kingdom of Belgium withstand the attack of the Anglo-French forces? Therefore, in this battle, the Kingdom of Prussia also made great contributions. We must at least get a share of more than 10 percent of the war reparations! "Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck said.

Although all countries are ashamed of the Prussian Kingdom's behavior of picking peaches in the war, they have to admit that the 200,000 troops of the Prussian Kingdom also played a great role in the Belgian battlefield. At the beginning of the war, hundreds of thousands of Anglo-French troops attacked the Kingdom of Belgium, and the strength of the Kingdom of Belgium alone could not be resisted at all. If it had not been for the Kingdom of Prussia, the Kingdom of Belgium would have perished. Even if they could return to China after the war, the losses they would have paid would be much greater than they are now.

"Well, the Kingdom of Belgium is willing to reduce its share to twenty percent, and the other five percent, just give it to the Kingdom of Prussia!" Belgian Prime Minister Charles. Rozhye said. Although it is less than 200 million Chinese dollars, it can be regarded as understanding the grievances with the Kingdom of Prussia. Next time, I'm afraid the two sides will become enemies again.

Lin Zihao nodded, and then said: "In this case, then the five percent does not need to use the share of the Kingdom of Belgium, and the empire is willing to pay the five percent." ”

The Kingdom of Belgium is an important ally of the Empire, and in the next war, it will need the Kingdom of Belgium to be at the forefront. Therefore, to win over the Kingdom of Belgium and let the Kingdom of Belgium always be tied to the chariot of the Empire, this is a national policy that the Empire has always attached great importance to.

Sure enough, after the empire took the initiative to fill that five percent share, the charre. Prime Minister Rozhye's eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at Lin Zihao and others. The Kingdom of Belgium is now almost in ruins, and it will take a lot of money to rebuild it. 200 million Chinese dollars is also a very important amount of money for the Kingdom of Belgium.

"The present distribution, then, will be forty percent for the Empire, twenty-five percent each for the Kingdom of Spain and Belgium, and ten percent for the Kingdom of Prussia! If there is no objection, then we have reached an agreement! Imperial Prime Minister Lin Zihao said.

Delegates nodded their heads in approval of the allocation.

The empire received 40 percent of the war reparations, or 1.6 billion Chinese dollars. The Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium each received a billion Chinese dollars. The Kingdom of Prussia received 400 million Chinese dollars.

Although it seems that the Kingdom of Prussia received the least war reparations, they did not actually suffer either. After all, the Kingdom of Prussia would have a share of the benefits in the negotiations between Russia and Austria-Hungary. To be able to get 400 million Chinese dollars on the French, they are already very satisfied.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have agreed on a plan for the disposition of France. Then, there is another problem that cannot be avoided. That is the royal family of Orleans and the royal family of Bonaparte, who will rule France? If this point is not clarified, we will not be able to pay war reparations! Lin Zihao said.

"The Kingdom of Prussia supports the Bonaparte royal family to continue to rule France!" Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck said. Although his words were brief, the meaning revealed in them was very resolute.

"The Kingdom of Spain supports the royal family of Orleans!" Said the Duke of Valencia.

"The Kingdom of Belgium also supports the royal family of Orleans!" Shire. Rozhye also said.

Lin Zihao also had a headache, the Chinese Empire wanted the Orleans royal family to rule France, but they had to guard against the Orleans royal family becoming a white-eyed wolf. After all, at this peace conference, the countries slaughtered France too harshly, and the Orleans royal family must have been angry in their hearts. Coupled with the fact that the Kingdom of Prussia strongly supported the Bonaparte royal family, it was a bit more difficult.

"Since everyone is deadlocked, why don't you do it! Let both the royal family of Orleans and the royal family of Bonaparte rule France, and we will divide the remaining territories of France in two! Lin Zihao said. It was a solution that he had a flash of inspiration. Dividing the remaining territories of France into two parts would make France, whether it is the royal house of Orleans or the royal family of Bonaparte, be very weak, and the threat to the countries will undoubtedly be much smaller.

Lin Zihao's idea made everyone's eyes shine, in essence, everyone didn't want France to become strong. After all, a strong France would pose a threat to all countries. It would be much easier to deal with if France were to be split into two. (To be continued......)
