By the time the victorious powers agreed on their claims to French territory, the sky had darkened. ⊙ the top of the novel, www.So, this meeting is over, and tomorrow, the meeting will begin again. However, the victorious country demanded the division of French territory in the absence of representatives of the defeated country, and France, as a party, did not even have the opportunity to express its attitude. But is there anything else that France can do but agree? Unless, they want to pay a bigger price.

The essence of this peace conference is that the victorious country will slaughter the defeated country, and France, as the defeated country, should have this consciousness, who made them hot-headed in the first place, and they will fall to the British and embark on the road of confrontation with the empire? It is understandable to pay these costs now. Every country needs to pay the price for its wrongdoings. Even if this representative is very disastrous, there is no way.

When the representatives of several victorious powers rushed out of the conference room, and everyone was still talking and laughing, the representatives of the Second French Empire and the July Dynasty immediately gathered around. They are clearly concerned about who will be able to represent France in the future.

In the evening of the same day, the Prime Minister of the July Dynasty Adolf. Thiers visited the Imperial Embassy in the Ottoman Turkish Empire, met with the Imperial Crown Prince Longhua, and then had a long secret conversation with the Imperial Prime Minister Lin Zihao and Foreign Minister Wei Yuan. Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Belgium, Charles. Rozhye also came with him. Compared with the Second French Empire, the July Dynasty was related to the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Belgium. Adolph. Naturally, Thiers hoped to get support from the Chinese Empire.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary. The royal family of Orleans hopes to be restored in France. Once we succeeded in making France. We will be the most loyal allies of the Chinese Empire, and together with the other allies of the Chinese Empire, we will deal with the Prussians. I hope that the Chinese Empire will support us at this peace conference! "Adolf. Thiers said.

"Hmmm! The Chinese Empire was willing to see the Orleans royal family regain its dominance of France. But. The Second French Empire was supposed to have the support of the Prussians. Therefore, it will be more difficult. But. We'll do our best! Lin Zihao said.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Prime Minister. I believe that with the current international status and strength of the Chinese Empire, even the Prussians will have to give in! "Adolf. Thiers said. After all, the Chinese Empire is now the world's most powerful country! When he said this, he was not only a sycophant of the Chinese Empire, but also a trick for the Chinese Empire, which made Lin Zihao a little disliked. Could it be that the royal family of Orleans did not become the ruler of France. Does the empire damage the prestige of the world's number one power? This is simply holding the empire hostage. If it weren't for the fact that the royal family of Orleans and the imperial royal family were related by marriage, Lin Zihao would have turned his face a long time ago. Playing clever tricks on the head of the Prime Minister of the Empire, I simply don't know whether to live or die.

"Lord Wei, please inform Your Excellency Thiers of what we have agreed on this afternoon!" Lin Zihao said expressionlessly.

"Yes, Prime Minister!" Wei Yuan nodded, he also saw Lin Zihao's dissatisfaction.

"Your Excellency Thiers, in the course of negotiations this afternoon, all countries have put forward their territorial claims against France. Thereinto. The Empire claimed Corsica, and the Kingdom of Spain claimed Aquitaine, South - Pyrenees, Languedoc-Roussillon, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur and Riviera-Czur. The Kingdom of Belgium claims the North-Calais region, the Picardy region and the Normandy region. The Kingdom of Prussia demanded Lorraine and Alsace! Wei Yuan conveyed the demands of various countries with an expressionless face.

Suddenly, Adolf. Thiers' face was gloomy as water. According to the agreement reached by several victorious powers, then France must not lose half of its territory and population? This would make France's strength bad. It is no longer a world-class powerhouse.

Originally, Adolf. Thiers also thought that with the help of the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Belgium, the price to be paid by France would not be too great. In this case, it will not be a few years. France would be able to regain its position as a world power once again. Even with the support of the Chinese Empire, it competed with the Kingdom of Prussia for the supremacy of Europe. If it wins, France will be able to re-emerge as the hegemon of Europe. In the future, it is not without the opportunity to wrestle with the Chinese Empire again. But now, a few victorious countries have carved up half of France's territory, which completely cuts off France's development path to becoming a world power again!

"How can this be? Such a punishment is too cruel for France! The French people will not accept it. "Adolf. Thiers said indignantly. He suddenly felt betrayed.

"Won't you accept it? I think the royal family of Orleans doesn't accept it! It doesn't matter, anyway, the royal family of Orleans and the royal family of Bonaparte, whoever can accept the conditions of a few victorious countries will probably get our support and become the ruler of France! Lin Zihao said disdainfully. This guy doesn't seem to have figured out the situation yet! If the royal family of Orleans wants to become the ruler of France, they must have the support of the empire and their allies, and where can they bargain here? Although, the Imperial Royal Family and the Orleans Royal Family are related by marriage. However, every qiē needs to be premised on the interests of the empire. Even if it is an in-law relationship, it has to make way for the interests of the empire.

Adolph. Thierston had nothing to say. Whether the royal family of Orleans can become the ruler of France depends on the intentions of several victorious powers. If the royal family of Orleans does not agree, perhaps the royal family of Bonaparte will. In that case, France would return to the rule of the Bonaparte royal family, and the royal family of Orleans would still have to go into exile.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I know. However, I need to tell His Majesty the King! "Adolf. Thiers said. Now that he has no temper at all, he knows that the future of the royal family of Orleans is in the control of the Chinese Empire and its allies. France is simply meat on the board, at the mercy of the Chinese Empire and its allies, and the royal family of Orleans has no strength to resist at all. Although it is very aggrieved and helpless, this is the reality.

In Adolf. When Thiers asked to meet with the delegation of the Chinese Empire, the delegation of the Second French Empire, Prime Minister of the Second French Empire, Emile. Olivier and Duke Valewski, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, were in the embassy of the Kingdom of Prussia in the Ottoman Turkish Empire. The Second French Empire hoped to be supported by the Kingdom of Prussia. They also knew that, given the relationship between the royal family of Orleans and the Chinese Empire, as well as the betrayal of the Second French Empire in the first place, the Chinese Empire would definitely not give the Second French Empire a chance.

In order to gain the support of the Kingdom of Prussia, Emile. Olivier said that if the Second French Empire regained control of France, they would become the Kingdom's most loyal allies. And this is exactly what the Kingdom of Prussia wants.

Prussian Prime Minister Otto. Feng. Bismarck said that the Kingdom of Prussia would do everything possible to help the Bonaparte royal family gain French rule. However, they also know that this is very difficult.

In the meantime, the Kingdom of Prussia also revealed to the delegation of the Second French Empire the contents of this afternoon's negotiations. When it was learned that nearly half of the territory of France was to be ceded, both Emile . Olivier is still the Duke of Valewski, and his face has become very ugly. However, they can also understand who made France lose this war. Otherwise, France would not have fallen to where it is now. This qiē is the price of France after losing the war. Of course, they are not content to do this. As long as they can regain control of France, they will definitely try their best to restore the glory of France in the future. And this, too, will inevitably lead to war.

The next day, on the morning of November 13, negotiations continued. During the negotiations yesterday afternoon, the countries agreed on the territorial claims to France. The main topic this morning, then, is the demand for war reparations for France. Cession of territory and demand war reparations were originally the right of the victorious power over the defeated country.

"Ladies and gentlemen, during the war, France inflicted great harm on the countries of the Eurasian military alliance. In addition to ceding territory, France should also pay us war reparations. What do you think is the appropriate amount of war reparations? Finally, we will distribute these war reparations according to the contributions of each country! Imperial Prime Minister Lin Zihao said.

"The Kingdom of Spain believes that France deserves to pay 10 billion Chinese dollars in war reparations!" Spanish Prime Minister Duke Valencia was the first to say that this was obviously a lion's mouth.

"The Kingdom of Belgium thinks that this amount is set at six billion Chinese dollars, which is about the same!" Belgian Prime Minister Charles. Rozhye also said. Both countries wished that France would pay as much as possible for the war reparations, so that they would be able to share more of the war reparations.

"Humph! The Kingdom of Prussia thought that it would be more appropriate to set the war reparations at 2 billion Chinese dollars! "The Kingdom of Prussia did not want France to be weakened excessively. If France had been weakened very strictly, support for the Kingdom of Prussia would not have been too great.

Imperial Prime Minister Lin Zihao said after referring to the opinions of both sides: "In this way, the Chinese Empire thinks that the amount of war reparations is set at four billion Chinese dollars!" What do you think? ”

Four billion Chinese dollars, which is already a lot. If it is allocated, all countries will be able to reap a lot. Thus, both the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium agreed. And the Kingdom of Prussia, again, had no reason to refuse. (To be continued......)
