The war reparations of 4 billion Chinese dollars are undoubtedly an astronomical amount for Russia. ⊙ the top novel, www.Zhukovsky and Nesherro had the intention to oppose it, but there was no way. The attitude of the Chinese Empire and the Ottoman Turkish Empire was already very obvious, and if Russia did not agree, they would continue to occupy it militarily. In this case, it will be even more disadvantageous to Russia.

"We need to report to His Majesty the Tsar, we can't be the master of such a huge amount!" Zhukovsky said. After all, this is four billion Chinese dollars, not four billion Chinese dollars. They also did not know whether the wealth of Tsar Alexander II could afford such wealth.

"Of course, but I advise you. The war reparations of four billion Chinese dollars cannot be changed. If Russia refuses, then Russia will not continue to exist! "Ali. Pasha looked domineering.

You must know that in the previous Russo-Turkish wars, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was often at a disadvantage. It is precisely because the Russians have weakened again and again that the Ottoman Turkish Empire has been reduced from a hegemon across Asia, Europe and Africa to the sick man of West Asia. This time it was difficult to defeat the Russians, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire naturally wanted to do everything possible to weaken Russia and avoid Russia's rise again.

Zhukovsky and Count Nesherrodi nodded, and the persecution of the Ottoman Turkish Empire made them very angry. However, they had no other choice but to grit their teeth and bear it. Who told them to lose the war? This time, the conditions offered by the victorious country were very harsh. However, this did not give Russia a respite. As long as Russia can ease up. There is definitely a chance to rise again in the future. Even if you can't beat the Chinese Empire, you have to beat the Ottoman Turkish Empire. There should be no problem.

After the Russian delegation left the conference room, the delegations of the three countries of China, Austria and Prussia. Immediately a debate began over how to distribute the four billion Chinese dollars in war reparations. In order for their respective countries to get an extra share, the three parties are all competing for each other.

The Ottoman Turkish Empire believed that the war reparations of four billion Chinese dollars paid by Russia should be distributed according to the 541 plan. That is, the Ottoman Turkish Empire received 50 percent, the Chinese Empire received 40 percent, and the Kingdom of Prussia received 10 percent. In the war against Russia, the Ottoman Turkish Empire invested more than two million elite troops and paid huge losses. Half of the war reparations should have been paid. Previously, the Kingdom of Prussia strongly advocated forgiveness for Russia, so the Kingdom of Prussia probably did not care about Russia's war reparations. Therefore, ten percent of the war reparations for the Kingdom of Prussia should be enough! "Ali. Pasha said.

However, the Ottoman Turkish Empire's vain attempt to occupy half of the war reparations obviously dissatisfied both the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia. The Kingdom of Prussia, in particular, although they did not want to weaken Russia excessively, but. Russia's payment of 4 billion Chinese dollars in war reparations is already a foregone conclusion. Under such circumstances, they certainly hoped that the Kingdom of Prussia would receive more war reparations. No one is going to have trouble with money.

"No, the Kingdom of Prussia is against it, and our interests are being harmed. The Kingdom of Prussia strongly demanded the war reparations of four billion Chinese dollars paid by Russia. Distribute on a four-three-three basis. That is, the Kingdom of Prussia received 40 percent, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Chinese Empire each received 30 percent. After all, the Kingdom of Prussia dealt a fatal blow to Russia in the war. Both Moscow and St. Petersburg were occupied by the troops of the Kingdom of Prussia. It was we who made the Russians surrender in such a short time! "Otto. Feng. Chancellor Bismarck said toughly.

"Humph! If it weren't for the Chinese Empire dragging down the main force of the Russian army, would your actions have been so smooth? On the Russian battlefield. The Chinese Empire eliminated the largest number of Russian troops. Therefore, the war reparations paid by Russia should be distributed according to the 631 plan. That is, the Chinese Empire received sixty percent, the Ottoman Turkish Empire received thirty percent, and the Kingdom of Prussia received ten percent! Imperial Prime Minister Lin Zihao also said.

There is no doubt that the appetite of the imperial table was greater than that of the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia. The empire alone sought sixty percent of all reparations, more than the other two countries combined.

Of course, both the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia were opposed. Although they knew that the Chinese Empire was responsible for the fact that Russia was able to be destroyed so quickly. Russia can be said to have been defeated by the Chinese Empire, and the other two countries were just beating the side drum. The Kingdom of Prussia, in particular, was the last to come out to pick peaches. However, for the sake of their respective countries, they obviously will not agree with this statement.

All countries believe that they have made the greatest contribution to the war and deserve the lion's share of the war reparations, and no one wants to make concessions. However, there is no way to continue arguing like this, and if no one is willing to give in, it will only lead to the failure of negotiations.

In view of the great differences between the two sides, at the same time the Russian delegation also needed to consult the Tsar. Therefore, the Ottoman Turkish Empire established a temporary adjournment of the negotiations. Let's talk about it privately so that we can reach an agreement in the negotiation.

Just after the conclusion of the negotiations, the Ottoman Turkish Empire's Mustafa . Lester. Pasha rushed to the Imperial Chinese Embassy in the Ottoman Turkish Empire, where he held long and secret consultations with Imperial Chinese Prime Minister Lin Zihao and Foreign Minister Wei Yuan.

"Lord Lin, Lord Wei. The Ottoman Turkish Empire hoped that the Chinese Empire would support our demands. In the previous cession of Russian territory, the Ottoman Turkish Empire also supported the Chinese Empire. In addition, during the war, the Ottoman Turkish Empire paid a lot of price in order to help the Chinese* army break through the defense line on the Volga! "Mustafa. Lester. Pasha said.

In order to maximize the interests of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, they had to think of other options.

In previous negotiations, the Chinese Empire demanded territory north of the Caucasus Mountains and south of the Don River. The Ottoman Empire was also interested in this territory. However, in order to maintain friendship with the Chinese Empire, they voluntarily gave up. During the war, the Ottoman Turkish Empire sent an army to attack Volgograd and assist the Chinese army to cross the Volga River, which directly reduced the casualties of the Chinese army in the war. The Chinese Empire must not forget this, and now, it is time to pay it back.

Lin Zihao and Wei Yuan talked a few words in a whisper, and then said, "Your Excellency Pasha, the Chinese Empire has never forgotten the friendship between our two countries. However, the interests of the empire also need to be safeguarded. ”

"Lord Lin, the Chinese Empire received 40 percent of the four billion war reparations, which is already a lot. The Ottoman Turkish Empire was only 10 percent more than the Chinese Empire. What's more, with the financial resources of the Chinese Empire, it doesn't care about this ten percent! "Mustafa. Lester. Pasha said.

"Give only ten percent to the Prussians, will they agree?" Imperial Foreign Minister Wei Yuan said.

"It doesn't matter if they don't agree, as long as our two countries come to an agreement, the Prussians can't do anything!" Mustafa. Lester. Pasha said.

Indeed, on the issue of dealing with Russia, China, Austria and Prussia have the final say. If both the Chinese Empire and the Ottoman Turkish Empire had decided, the Prussians, even if they were against it, would have been unable to do it alone.

"Well, for the sake of friendship between our two countries, the Chinese Empire promised to make concessions and support the distribution scheme of the Ottoman Turkish Empire!" Lin Zihao thought about it for a while, and then said. It is undoubtedly very cost-effective to pay hundreds of millions of Chinese dollars in war reparations to win over the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and even further deteriorate the relationship between the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia.

"Thanks to the Chinese Empire for its support to us, the friendship between our two countries will last forever!" Mustafa. Lester. The Pasha was overjoyed. With the support of the Chinese Empire, it would be much smoother to subdue the Kingdom of Prussia.

That evening, Ali. Pasha and Mustafa. Lester. The Pasha went to the embassy of the Kingdom of Prussia in the Ottoman Turkish Empire to make an official showdown with the Prussians.

Ali. Pasha said that the Ottoman Turkish Empire's distribution plan had already been supported by the Chinese Empire, and hoped that the Kingdom of Prussia would take the overall situation into account. And this, of course, was opposed by the Prussians. After all, they could only get ten percent of the war reparations of up to four billion Chinese dollars, which was undoubtedly an insult to the Kingdom of Prussia.

However, the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Chinese Empire had come to an agreement, which put the Kingdom of Prussia under great pressure. After all, with both the Chinese Empire and the Ottoman Turkish Empire already agreeing to this distribution plan, even if they oppose it, it seems that it cannot be changed. Unless, the Kingdom of Prussia withdraws from the Peace Conference and does not recognize the agreements reached at the Peace Conference.

If this were the case, it would not be of the slightest benefit to the Kingdom of Prussia. It was impossible for the Kingdom of Prussia to occupy the Russian territories forever, and according to the secret treaty they had signed with Russia, Russia would redeem those territories for 200 million gold marks, or 400 million Chinese dollars. If you stay in Russia and don't leave, the Russians won't agree.

In the face of the toughness of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia had no way to counteract. After a period of struggle, the Kingdom of Prussia had no choice but to pinch its nose and admit it. (To be continued......)
