Once upon a time, after defeating Napoleon's invasion, Russia was the most powerful country on the European continent. ⊙ the top of the story, Russia, with its standing army of more than a million, is unrivaled on the entire European continent. However, just over twenty years later, the Russians suffered a big loss in the East, and then even the country was destroyed, where is there still a little bit of a big country!

Zhukovsky and Count Neschelrodi were very sad and indignant. But what else do they do? Russia is now completely occupied by the Chinese Empire, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and the Kingdom of Prussia. If Russia does not agree to their terms, then Russia will really perish and will not have a chance to rise again. And all the efforts they have made before have been in vain.

You must know that in the secret treaty signed between Russia and the Kingdom of Prussia, the Kingdom of Prussia helped Russia keep most of its territory, and Russia ceded the territory of eastern Poland and the Baltic coast to the Kingdom of Prussia, and paid the Kingdom of Prussia 200 million gold marks, that is, 400 million Chinese dollars in territorial ransom. It can be seen from this that Russia still hopes to be able to keep its core area and retain a certain foundation for its re-emergence.

However, the greed of the Chinese Empire and the Ottoman Turkish Empire was beyond the imagination of the Russians. The Chinese Empire bit off the fertile territories east of the Volga River in one bite, along with the fertile territories south of the Don River and the Caucasus Mountains. And the Ottoman Turkish Empire swallowed Ukraine, not counting, but also set its sights on Belarus. This simply leaves no way for Russia to live!

"Ladies and gentlemen, the demands of countries are too demanding. There is not much territory left in Russia, if so much territory is ceded. How can Russia feed so many Russians? Zhukovsky looked pitiful. You know, Russia still has a population of 60 million! Originally. Because of the constraints of serfdom, the efficiency of agricultural production in Russia was very low. This is why Russia has so much fertile land. But there were successive famines. Now, after losing a large area of granary, how can Russia feed so many people!

"Those Russians, if they want to stay, the empire will not refuse. I don't think the Ottoman Empire will refuse either! In this case, Russia will not have to worry about feeding these people! Lin Zihao said with a smile. Population is an important foundation of a country, and if Russia loses it, then. Their strength will decline even further.

Ali. When Pasha heard Lin Zihao so much, he immediately laughed: "Yes, if those Russians are willing to stay, the Ottoman Turkish Empire is willing to accept them." Of course, if they can convert and believe in Allah, then they will become citizens of the Ottoman Turkish Empire! ”

The population of the Ottoman Turkish Empire was only about 40 million. If there were Russians willing to join the Ottoman Turkish Empire. They certainly won't refuse. Even now that we have entered the era of hot weapons, population is still an indispensable and important guarantee in warfare.

Zhukovsky was speechless and abandoned the Russians. The Russian government will never be able to do this. If Russia wants to rise, it cannot do without sufficient human resources. This is already the only hope that Russia wants to rejuvenate, and naturally it cannot be thrown away again.

Albeit. The representatives of Russia repeatedly objected, even pretending to be pitiful. But. The hard-hearted Chinese Empire and the Ottoman Turkish Empire were just unwilling to forgive Russia. Even if the Kingdom of Prussia was speaking well of Russia on the side. That's completely useless either. Who said that now that Russia is under military occupation by the victorious powers, they are in fact meat on a board of paper, to be slaughtered by the Chinese Empire and the other victorious powers?

Of course, in terms of territorial area, even if these territories are lost, the territorial area of Russia is not small. At least no smaller than the Kingdom of Prussia, which annexed numerous territories. However, this is undoubtedly much smaller than the area of more than 10 million square kilometers in Russia's heyday.

In the face of the strong oppression of the Chinese Empire and the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Russian delegation had no choice but to let the other side slaughter.

"Next, it's time for the war reparations. The Ottoman Turkish Empire believed that in order to compensate for their losses, Russia should pay a war reparations totaling 10 billion Chinese dollars to compensate our three countries! "Ali. Pasha opened his mouth directly.

Ten billion Chinese dollars? Zhukovsky and Count Neschel Rody almost fainted. How could poor Russia lose so much money! Even when Russia was not weakened, it was impossible to come up with 10 billion Chinese dollars. What's more, it is even more impossible for the current Russia, after suffering one heavy defeat after another, to come up with so much war reparations.

Although the Russian imperial family was very wealthy, the successive blackmail in the years before the Chinese Empire, as well as the attrition of Russia in the war. There was not much left of the royal family's wealth. In St. Petersburg in particular, the Chinese cavalry captured Tsarskoye Village, so that the wealth worth two or three billion Chinese dollars stored there was robbed by the Chinese Empire, and even more so that the wealth of the Russian imperial family was not much left.

Of course, storing the wealth of Zài Tsarskoye is only a part. The Russian royal family also had a lot of wealth stored in St. Petersburg as well as near Moscow. In addition, the Russian nobles also had a lot of wealth in their hands. If Tsar Alexander II had dared to attack these nobles, he would still have been able to get a lot of wealth. Of course, the aristocracy was the basis of Russian rule, and Alexander II did not dare to attack these nobles unless he had to do so.

Even the delegations of the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia were stunned by the amount quoted by the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Of course, the Chinese Empire wished that the Russians would pay as much reparations as possible, so that the Chinese Empire would naturally be able to share more indemnities. The Kingdom of Prussia, on the other hand, expressed its resolute opposition.

"Ali. Pasha, this request is too unrealistic. Even if the whole of Russia were sold, it would not be possible to make up so much war reparations. The Kingdom of Prussia believed that a total of 500 million Chinese dollars in war reparations would be sufficient in the case that Russia had already lost a large amount of territory! "Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck jumped out.

Sure enough, Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck's advice made Zhukovsky and Count Neshero Rody very grateful.

However, this question is obviously not something that the Kingdom of Prussia has said and settled.

"If the Kingdom of Prussia feels that the war reparations are too much, the Kingdom of Prussia can ask for less!" Ali. Pasha said directly. On issues concerning the interests of the state, he is also very resolute.

"Russia cannot accept such war reparations, we are already in debt, and we simply cannot pay such a large war reparations. At most, we can pay 500 million Chinese dollars in war reparations! Said Count Nieschel Rodie.

"500 million Chinese dollars is too little, even France has to compensate all countries for 4 billion Chinese yuan in war reparations!" Imperial Foreign Minister Wei Yuan said.

"France is much richer than Russia, so let's do it, Russia will pay a billion Chinese dollars in war reparations, which is already the limit of what we can accept!" Zhukovsky said.

Although, one billion Chinese dollars is not a small amount. However, the same could not please the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Chinese Empire. In particular, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, when disposing of France, even the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium received a billion dollars in war reparations. If, at this peace conference, the Ottoman Turks did not receive as much war reparations as the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium, then where should their faces go?

"No, one billion dollars is too little. If Russia doesn't want to be under our military control forever, it will have to pay at least 5 billion Chinese dollars in war reparations! "Ali. Pasha said with a dark face.

If Russia can pay 5 billion Chinese dollars in war reparations, then even if the three countries of China, Austria and Prussia are divided equally, each of them will be able to get almost 1.7 billion Chinese dollars in war reparations. Such a large war reparations had already satisfied the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

Although, the Ottoman Turkish Empire directly hit a five-fold discount. However, this is still not acceptable to Russia.

Both Zhukovsky and Count Neschelrodi looked at the delegation of the Kingdom of Prussia with help, hoping that they would speak for Russia.

As if feeling the pleading gaze of the Russians, the Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia, Albrech. Feng. Ron spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although we want to obtain war reparations from Russia to compensate for our losses. However, five billion Chinese dollars is too much, which is a bit unrealistic. Russia's financial strength was originally inferior to that of France. Therefore, I think that the amount of war reparations is about two billion Chinese dollars! "Albrech. Feng. Earl Ron said.

In the blink of an eye, the amount of war reparations rose to 2 billion Chinese dollars, which is not a small amount. Even if the Russians smash the pot and sell iron, they may not be able to get it. However, what is even more serious is that the victorious powers do not seem to be satisfied with this amount.

"Two billion Chinese dollars in war reparations are far from enough. Otherwise, compare France with Russia's war reparations of 4 billion Chinese dollars! Imperial Prime Minister Lin Zihao said.

Ali. Pasha and Mustafa. Lester. The two of them whispered a few words, and finally expressed their support for the consternation of war reparations at four billion Chinese dollars. Although the Kingdom of Prussia had always been against it, they could not do anything about it, given the strong support of both the Chinese Empire and the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

As for the demands of the Russians, no one paid any attention to them at all! (To be continued......)
