The amount of reparations to be paid by the Entente was also quickly determined, and under the benevolent and magnanimous intervention of Emperor Yang, the original indemnity of 30 billion gold pounds was reduced to 20 billion by a certain amount, of which Britain, France, and Russia accounted for the largest share. ⊙. Britain is five billion gold pounds, Russia is like them, the equivalent of four hundred and seventy billion gold rubles, France needs to pay 126 billion gold francs, and the remaining five billion pounds should be divided equally between Italy and North America. However, because Italy had signed a treaty with the Allies separately before, their part should have been divided equally among the four families, but under the bitter pleas of the representatives of the Entente countries, Emperor Yang finally decided not to do so.

In this way, in fact, the Entente needed to pay a total of 17.5 billion pounds, that is, 128,141 tons of gold, and the first batch had to pay 10 percent each within a year, and the remaining part had to be paid in installments within 66 years.

Because no one on the side of the Entente can come up with the first real cash indemnity, so they can only pay off the debt in kind, anything, merchant ships, trains, machines, food, no longer enough even the railroad tracks are demolished, anyway, the reconstruction of Germany and Austria and other countries also requires a lot of materials, but these are definitely not enough, even ten percent is astronomical, which one of them is not all in ruins, even if it is demolished, something must be demolished! Especially France, Russia, and North America, which have been devastated by the war, are truly irremanulate and cannot be dismantled.

Of course, there is one other thing that must have been welcomed by all sides of the Allies, and that is the Chinese yuan, which is still the most popular currency even if the Chinese government bans gold from leaving the country. The next reconstruction will definitely require the purchase of a large number of materials from the outside, and now the only ones that can provide these materials are China, Sweden and the Confederacy, which are industrial countries, and China naturally can only use the Chinese dollar, which is more popular than the national currency! Even the agricultural countries in South America were the most popular currency, so the Entente could use the Chinese dollar to pay reparations.

If you want to get Huayuan, you can only go to the People's Bank of China for a loan, and then these four countries will have to do everything they can to curry favor with Emperor Yang, including the Allied countries that are in urgent need of reconstruction funds, and for a time the Empire State Building in Beijing has become a stage for governments to show their public relations skills.

In addition to the indemnity, there are also restrictions on the power of the Entente. France retains a maximum of 200,000 6 troops, a figure that is not allowed to be exceeded for fifty years, and it is not allowed to have a navy. Britain can have a navy, but it is not allowed to have aircraft carriers and battleships, the tonnage of capital ships is not allowed to exceed 10,000 tons, but there is no restriction on submarines, and the 6th Army is only allowed to retain a maximum of 200,000 people, which does not matter to Britain at all, and they do not have many 6th Army in peacetime. Russia was allowed to keep only 300,000 6 Corps at most. The navy was only allowed to retain a small defensive fleet in the Baltic Sea, and the tonnage of capital ships was not allowed to exceed 5,000 tons, and all the warships of the Baltic Fleet of more than 5,000 tons were handed over to Germany. As for North America, only 100,000 6 troops are allowed to be retained, and it is forbidden to have a navy. It turned out that the warships of the North American Navy were fully compensated to Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Austria-Hungary. The same is true of the Greek countries, including the Chilean Navy, which surrendered at Kingston.

And so on March 2, 1909, the Summer Palace in Beijing. In the personal witness of His Majesty the Emperor, who had just returned from Delhi, the Allied negotiators, Earl Yang Ru, the Chinese Foreign Secretary, and the British Foreign Secretary, Sir Grey, the Entente negotiators, signed the peace treaty, and the world war that lasted for five years officially came to an end.

In the words of Emperor Yang, a new era of peace, prosperity and freedom began, and the entire signing ceremony was broadcast live to the whole country and the world by the People's Radio in the form of television and radio respectively, and now black and white television sets are no longer a rarity in China, and even some of the top wealthy families have begun to use the most advanced color television sets, and in the world outside of China, radio is still the most advanced media, and even many poor people have never even seen radio.

The realization of peace did not cause much of a sensation in China, in fact, for the Chinese people this war is too far away, there is no intuitive feeling at all, they only know that China has won again, but for more than ten years there has been too much news of China's victory, and the common people have long been accustomed to it, but those capitalists are unwilling one by one. In their opinion, this war has been fought for too short a time, and the business will definitely not be so easy to do as soon as the war ends, you must know that for the war, they have been desperately building factories some time ago, and many of them are still under construction, but this enemy is too unfought, and we haven't done much yet, why did you surrender?

Why can't you be like those heroes of ancient times, even if you fight to the last soldier, and never give in? Especially the British, you have to let us board the 6th to London, otherwise what are we doing idle with so many new shipyards?

Of course, the capitalists were reluctant at this time, and the war had already been signed, and they did not yet understand what the grand project of rebuilding Europe meant, and they did not know that a new war was about to begin.

The signing of the Beijing Peace Treaty caused a sensation in Europe at all, and the victors of Germany and Austria naturally celebrated the victory at home, and countless ordinary people stopped the ongoing work of clearing the ruins and took to the streets, celebrating the victory in every way they could think of, celebrating that they had finally survived the difficult years, and although the supplies were still tight, people still celebrated this great moment with a hearty drink.

But in Britain, France, Russia and other countries are completely mournful, although they know that they must cede land and pay compensation, but the final figure still makes countless people sad and indignant, Britain is better, even if there are some protests against the government, but because the loss of Britain itself is not too big, so the people have kept their sanity to the greatest extent. But in France, it can be described as hysterical, 126 billion gold francs, even if the French are all sold, they can't pay this money, not to mention that the current French industrial center is almost completely ceded to Germany, and the rest of the south is originally dominated by agriculture, so how can I repay this indemnity by planting some grapes and making some wine?

The French presidential palace, the prime minister's office, and the parliament were all smashed by the angry demonstrators, and even the prime minister Clemenceau was shot in the street, but fortunately, the bullet only injured his arm, and as for the French negotiators who participated in the negotiations, they did not even dare to return to China at this time, because the French threatened to hang him if he went back.

At this time, the French suddenly remembered the good old days under the reign of kings and emperors, even the scandalized Bourbon era, when France was full of territory, especially in the Richelieu era, Alsace and Lorraine. Even in the later era of Louis XIV, France was walking sideways in the world, even in the era of Louis XVI, which was beheaded, it was in the Americas that the British were disgraced, not to mention the imperial era, Napoleon trampled the whole of Europe under his feet, and even when his nephew was not a weapon, France could go out casually and abuse China.

Oh my God, what the hell is going on, why is the republic, liberty, equality, and fraternity, and France failing, failing, and failing, and then to this day, let alone taking back Alsace and Lorraine, and even Paris is almost gone, is it really wrong to say that the republic is wrong, and that the French have spent half a century almost draining the blood of a generation in exchange for this qiē?

"The French want to restore the monarchy?" Emperor Yang looked at Chamberlain Yuan with a funny expression.

"The ministers are probably the Spaniards who are making trouble, they want to put the Duke of Madrid Carlos, who was in exile after the failure to fight for the Spanish throne and is now hiding in Switzerland, to the French throne, and this Carlos only has one son who is forty years old this year and has not yet married a wife, and it is said that he is not ready to marry a wife in this life, and Carlos has a younger brother and no heirs, which means that after their army ascends the French throne, it is very likely that there will be an heir in the end. Then Alfonso XIII, as the current boss of the Bourbon family, can easily take over the throne of France, and it is estimated that they will make such an agreement before Carlos ascends to the French throne, so in a maximum of ten years, France and Spain will all become Alfonso XIII. Yuan said with a smile that he had been more interested in studying the lineage of European royal families over the years.

"Anyway, after the war, France will definitely have to face the bullying of Germany, although Spain has us as the background, but after all, it is not as safe as its own strength is strong enough, at that time France faced German oppression and had no way out, but to turn to Spain, if France and Spain engage in a federal empire, just like Austria and Hungary now, even if we are not together, it is enough to protect ourselves in front of the Germans." Then he added.

This idea can be supported. Emperor Yang immediately laughed when he heard this, the United Empire of West France.

After getting Portugal, the total population of Spain has exceeded 30 million, and the remaining part of the population of France is almost 20 million, adding up to 50 million people, which is equivalent to the population of the main part of Germany after the war, and the French industrial base is far stronger than Spain, and the latter can use the large war reparations to support French industry, so that Germany can dilute the blood of France with reparations, and after the two make up for each other, a strong enough and wary and hateful of Germany The European 6 powers appeared, And such a country is undoubtedly what China needs the most.

Spain plus France, Italy, the Ottoman Empire, England, Russia, and Sweden in the north, a huge encirclement would firmly lock Germany, and they would not be able to get out of it wherever they went, so the layout was perfect. (To be continued!)
