On the morning of November 17, 1855, after several days of coordination, the peace conference began again. Through guò's private coordination, the Ottoman Empire finally achieved its goal. They will dominate the disposition of Russia. In particular, they will receive half of the war reparations, which is more than the war reparations received by the Chinese Empire. This made Sultan Abdul. Majid I was very excited, and took Ali with him. Pasha and Mustafa. Lester. When Pasha was negotiating, he was also smiling.

However, the Russian delegates, who sat opposite the representatives of the victorious powers, had gloomy faces that almost dripped. For them, participating in this peace conference is simply being slaughtered by the victorious country, and they are like meat on the board. A large amount of territory was forcibly occupied by the victorious powers, and the war reparations to be paid were as high as 4 billion Chinese dollars.

"According to the final result of the consultations between our countries, the distribution of the war reparations paid to Russia will be the distribution method of May 41. The Ottoman Turkish Empire accounted for 50 percent of the reparations, the Chinese Empire accounted for 40 percent of the reparations, and the Kingdom of Prussia accounted for 10 percent of the reparations! If you have no objections, then we can sign the peace treaty! "Ali. Pasha said with a smile on his face. The agreement on the peace treaty with Russia gave the Ottoman Turkish Empire all the advantages, which was undoubtedly a heavy victory for the Ottoman Turkish Empire!

Both the Chinese and Prussian delegations shook their heads, and in the two days of the adjournment the Ottoman Empire had already negotiated with them. After exhausting the means of co-optation and threats, China and the Kingdom of Prussia finally had no objections.

Of course, for China, in fact, it does not suffer. Although the war reparations received were ten percent less than those of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, that is, 400 million Chinese dollars less. However, this is nothing at all for the Chinese Empire. In its previous disposition of the Kingdom of Italy and France, the Chinese Empire had already gained a lot of benefits. Not to mention that there is the British fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered at the end! In addition, territorially, the territory south of the Volga and Kama rivers, plus the territory south of the Don River and north of the Caucasus Mountains, gave China a foothold in Eastern Europe. This fertile land, if left to the industrious Chinese to cultivate, could feed at least tens of millions of people. Once the empire emigrated to Eastern Europe in the tens of millions, and with the subsequent opening of rail, road, and sea routes, it would have been impossible for the Russians to return more of these lands. From now on, the common people of the empire will occupy these lands for generations.

Of course, the Prussians were somewhat unhappy with the final agreement. As much as 4 billion Chinese dollars in war reparations, the Kingdom of Prussia actually received only 10 percent. Although this is also 400 million Chinese dollars, it is undoubtedly a little insignificant compared to the gains of the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Chinese Empire. Even according to the secret agreement between the Kingdom of Prussia and Russia, Russia would pay an additional ransom of 200 million gold marks, that is, 400 million Chinese dollars, to the Kingdom of Prussia. But all together, it's only 800 million Chinese dollars.

However, the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Chinese Empire joined forces to suppress the Kingdom of Prussia in the disposition of Russia, and they had no way to resist. Who said that the Kingdom of Prussia did not contribute much in the war against Russia? If the benefits were distributed according to the results achieved by each country, the Kingdom of Prussia would have received only the least.

The Russian representatives, Zhukovsky and Count Neschel Rodie, were against such a peace from the bottom of their hearts. However, their objections were ignored in the first place. After all, they are a defeated country, and they can only be slaughtered by others, so who cares about them? Of course, they could choose not to sign the peace treaty. In this case, the peace talks will only break down. However, this is also not the slightest benefit for Russia. If the peace talks cannot be agreed upon, and the peace treaty cannot be signed, then it is impossible for Russia to withdraw from the war. The military occupation of Russia by the Chinese Empire and other countries would not have ended. If Russia wants to end the war, it will be even more unlikely. So, even if the peace treaty was harsh, the Russians had to sign it.

In the morning of the same day, the delegations of the Chinese Empire, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia, and Russia signed their names at the peace treaty. The "Treaty on the Disposition of Russia by the Asia-Europe Military Alliance" and the "Peace Treaty with Russia" came into force. The Peace Treaty stipulated that Russia, in order to make up for the wounds inflicted on the Eurasian military alliance during the war, would cede all of Ukraine and southern Belarus to the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the territories south of the Kama River and east of the Volga River, and the territories south of the Don River and north of the Caucasus Mountains to the Chinese Empire, and eastern Poland and the Baltic Sea coast to the Kingdom of Prussia. In addition, Russia will pay 4 billion Chinese dollars in war reparations to China, Austria and Prussia, of which China will receive 40 percent of the war reparations, i.e., 1.6 billion Chinese dollars, the Ottoman Turkish Empire will receive 50 percent of the war reparations, i.e., 2 billion Chinese dollars, and the Kingdom of Prussia will receive 10 percent of the war reparations, i.e., 400 million Chinese dollars.

The signing of the "Peace Treaty with Russia" marks the domination of another old power by the Asia-Europe military alliance. The loss of large swaths of territory and the huge war reparations would further weaken Russia. Of course, this also made Russia even more hostile to the victorious powers. At the same time, because of the uneven distribution of spoils, the seeds of contradictions between the Chinese Empire, the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia were also bought.

After the disposition of Russia was over, it was the turn of the disposition of Austria-Hungary. However, the disposition of the Austro-Hungarian Empire mainly involved the Kingdom of Prussia and the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and the Chinese Empire, the Kingdom of Spain, and the Kingdom of Belgium did not participate in the negotiations. Of course, the Kingdom of Prussia and the Ottoman Turkish Empire would certainly have quarreled over the disposition of Austria-Hungary.

Austria-Hungary, originally one of the great powers of Europe. After the Austro-Prussian War, the costly Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary merged further to form the Austro-Hungarian Empire. However, in the ensuing world war, Austria-Hungary was on the wrong side, so that they ended up where they are now. When the Kingdom of Prussia had previously competed with the Austrian Empire for the leadership of Germany, it took great difficulty to exclude the Austrian Empire from the many German states. But now, it seems that the Kingdom of Prussia has a better option, which is to annex Austria to Germany at once and form a Greater German Empire.

After the signing of the Treaty with Russia, the delegation of the Kingdom of Prussia began to conspire with them what conditions they should put forward in the disposition of Austria-Hungary.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Austria and Bohemia, there are Germanic peoples. We should include Austria and all of Bohemia in the future German Empire, which will make the German Empire even stronger! "Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck said.

"Your Excellency Chancellor, not only Austria and Bohemia, but also the Kingdom of Hungary can be incorporated into the German Empire. The Hungarian Plain has also developed rapidly over the years, and with the population of the Kingdom of Hungary reaching more than 13 million people, it is a great addition to the German Empire! "Frederick. Crown Prince William said. He tended to incorporate the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire into the German Empire. In this case, the German Empire will be unprecedentedly powerful, with a total population of more than 100 million people, and with its developed industry, it may not be impossible to confront the Chinese Empire.

Otto. Feng. Chancellor Bismarck frowned, and he preferred to include the best of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the future German Empire. As for those backward regions, there is no need for them. Although the total population of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was large, it was only the Germanic people who could bring benefits to the future German Empire. As for the other nationalities, it would be good not to hold back when the time comes.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, there are too many nationalities in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and they are too poor, if they are included in the future German Empire, not only will it not be beneficial to the Empire, but it will drag down the Empire!" Foreign Secretary Albrech. Feng. Earl Ron also said.

"It is indeed possible, but we have to admit that the demographic factor is also a major factor in the confrontation between the great powers. For example, in this war, the Chinese have a population of more than 500 million, so they can expand their armies and plunder the territory of other countries without impunity. You don't have to worry about blowing yourself up. Although there are many ethnic minorities in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, if the empire is determined to govern them, it should be able to rule them well. This will allow the total population of the empire to grow rapidly. You don't have to worry about the future source of soldiers! Count Moltke also said. He will soon be the one who will soon take over as Chief of the General Staff, and if he succeeds in succeeding Colonel Reiher as Chief of the General Staff of the Prussian Army, his focus will have to be on the Army. China's terrifying mobilization and strong military resources undoubtedly made him feel tremendous pressure.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, I agree with Count Moltke. The gap between us and the Chinese is too great, and it is difficult to catch up without guò swallowing other countries. What's more, after the unification, the Greater German Empire was still dominated by Germanic peoples. In the future, the population of the country, the Germanic people, will be 60 to 70 percent, and the whole country will still be up to us! "Frederick. Crown Prince William said.

Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck nodded: "Send a telegram to Your Majesty, and your Majesty will decide!" ”R1152
