Chapter 748: Surrendered Russia

"Your Majesty the Great Tsar, you and your country have reached the most critical moment, when the reactionary forces at home are challenging your authority and the order of your kingdom with foreign funding, and to the west, the forces of Germany and Austria-Hungary, which may attack Russia at any moment, have begun to attack your Slavic allies in the Balkans, and even Greece, an indisputable country, must now decide whether to continue to waste their energies for a barren land or to save their empire, you need to choose. In the face of Nicholas II, the British envoy said bluntly.

"This is a traitor, this is a crime, and we will not accept such a peace. It is unacceptable that a yellow country should put such a shame on the great Russian nation! My forefathers defeated the Swedes, defeated the Sultan of Turkey, defeated Napoleon, and we will not be defeated by them. Although it has reached the point of exhaustion, Nicholas II still has a hard-boiled duck beak and does not let go, and the Russians believe that the British will not give up Russia, so he wants to force the British to put pressure on the Chinese Republic through this gesture.

But how could the British be so easily at the mercy of them? Although the Russians are their allies, you still have to put yourself in the right position, okay? Now that the Russian government eats the British and uses the British, do you still want to blackmail the British in turn? Isn't that a lack of cleanup? The Russian bear was so disobedient, John Bull was angry, and the consequences were serious!

"We cannot tolerate our precious funds being wasted in some meaningless places." The words of the British minister were full of threats. "We help your country because we have a common interest with you. There are common enemies. That enemy was Germany, Austria and Turkey. Our funds must be spent against a common enemy, and not against a distant Far Eastern power. Our next phase of funding may be delayed due to various reasons. Moreover, the French government has expressed similar views and observations. ”

"More importantly, Britain and France also consider your country unsuitable for the use of weapons and equipment produced by us. The reason is simple, your country lacks a sufficient number of cars and fuel. So France has decided to delay the cooperation plan for the new 6.1-inch gun for the time being, and you should know the situation of the British Empire, we are at war with the Boers in South Africa, and our arms supply is not optimistic. "The British envoy threw a combination punch!

"This is not in line with our previous agreement, we will deal with Germany together, but it does not mean that we need to give up the interests of Russia to befriend other countries! The hatred between the Russian Empire and the Chinese Republic cannot be forgotten. There is an eternal enemy between the two countries. And don't think that the Chinese will maintain their power in Southeast Asia. They will continue to expand, and after crossing the Strait of Malacca, the most precious jewel in your queen's crown will be under the threat of the Chinese navy. Our common enemy is not just the Germans. The Huaxia Republic is also one of them! Nicholas II said with some irritation.

"But everything has a sequence, the alliance of Germany, Austria, Italy and Turkey has threatened our very existence, and Europe determines the whole world if we win. Can the Chinese Republic still resist the pressure of Britain, France, and Russia? If we lose. What would we do if we joined forces now? All this is now just a stopgap measure. There was also a conflict of interest between the British Empire and the Republic of China. After the end of the campaign in Europe, we can even attack China from both North Asia and Southeast Asia, and sooner or later the Chinese Republic will have to pay the price for what they have done! The British minister said firmly.

It doesn't matter whether the British are telling the truth or not, and whether it is feasible for the British to deal with China together. But it finally gave the Russians a hope and gave the tsar a face. After a short period of thought, Nicholas II decided to face reality, but in terms of concrete interests, Nicholas II also had to fight for it. "The territory cannot be ceded at all, and the amount of reparations is somewhat large." After a moment of contemplation. Nicholas II gave his opinion.

"Holy, if that's the case. Isn't what I said earlier equivalent to saying it in vain? At this time, the British ambassador's heart was like countless alpacas running wildly. Nicholas II was still so unstoppable. However, after careful consideration, the British envoy felt that Nicholas II's attitude had loosened somewhat, and it should be enough to work harder.

"In fact, your country can sign an armistice agreement with the Republic of China instead of a treaty. We can even hand over these areas to the Republic of China in the form of substitution administration, and there is still a long border between your country and the Republic of China that has not yet been demarcated. None of this has been put on paper. If conditions permit, I believe that Russia can revisit the issue of territory and demarcation with the Republic of China. The British envoy said.

"But the 100-kilometer-wide security zone and the number of Russian troops stationed in Asia are intolerable, and we cannot move our troops on our own soil as we wish, which is unacceptable to any country!" Nicholas II changed the subject, and at this time he also realized that it was impossible for Huaxia to withdraw its troops from the occupied places, and that Huaxia prime minister was a lord who, like him, was unwilling to spit out when he ate it! In the case of the opponent's absolute advantage, it is simply impossible to make the opponent retreat!

"There is little room for manoeuvre in the land problem, and the British Empire is helpless at this stage, and for your country and the Chinese Republic, there is only one way to solve the land problem, and that is blood and fire! Only war can recalibrate the borders of both sides. And as I said earlier, Russia cannot now renew the war in the Far East. This is clearly unacceptable for your country and your allies! ”

"However, in terms of reparations, I think we can be flexible, for example, after your country pays the reparations to the Republic of China, the British Empire and the Kingdom of France can compensate in the name of a special fund, and at the same time, we will persuade the Republic of China to trade arms for your country for a long time to come. Arm your country's army with the military industry of the Chinese Republic. The British ambassador finally spoke out about the British government's proposal. After all, this is the most conducive way to increase Russia's power in the short term.

"The fact that great Russia should use weapons made by inferior yellow people is really more unacceptable than the payment of land reparations, we are friends, why should the British Empire and France be so stingy with friends? Is it because you don't think your military production capacity is enough, or is it something else? Nicholas II roared loudly. If Nicholas II was just bad politically, then the tsar could simply be described militarily as a coffee table, both in history and in reality. In history, if you look at the fact that this tsar asked the Russian Baltic Fleet to cross half the world to the Far East to find a field, you can know what level this tsar is! In the end, everyone knows that Tsushima came directly once, and a guy named Heihachiro Togo was achieved!

"The weapons of Britain and France were better suited for use in Western Europe, for storming fortifications than for field warfare. And these weapons are too expensive and complex to fit in large quantities in your country. Of course, if your country is quite confident in its own industry and technology, you can try it, but I need to remind you that this war is about the end of the whole of Europe, and we must not cause irreparable damage because of certain emotional factors. At this time, the British envoy was quite depressed, and he could have discussed these issues with the War Department. Then it is enough to send a deleted report, and it is not impossible to even add British and French labels to the weapons produced in the Chinese Republic, so why bother with the current situation?

In order to convince Nicholas II, the British ambassador can be described as scheming. Several times Nicholas II walked away. However, in the end, under the "attack" of the powerful pound sterling and franc, Nicholas II finally accepted the "persuasion" of the British and French. It was decided to sign an armistice agreement with Huaxia. Mind you, it's an armistice. In other words, both parties can reopen the film if one of them sees fit!

After dealing with the Russians, the envoy of the British government specially negotiated with the Huaxia Republic, and the content was mainly in two aspects, the first was the part of the armistice agreement, and in terms of territory, the Russians accepted the Huaxia Republic's request for division, but this was not a cession, but a delegation of management. Secondly, in terms of reparations, the British helped the Russians reduce the price from 30 million pounds plus the consumption of prisoners to 25 million pounds plus the consumption of prisoners. At the same time, it expressed its willingness to provide financial guarantees for the weapons that Russia will order from China in the future.

Another matter is the question of future cooperation between Britain and France and China. In the eyes of the British, even the enemy could do business when necessary. What's more, the relationship between Britain and France is now both competitive and cooperative. Its cooperation is divided into two categories, one is military cooperation, including the research and development of new weapons and the exploration of tactics. One of the most important aspects is anti-submarine warfare and escort systems.

On the other hand, there is economic cooperation, after all, in many ways, the low labor cost of the Huaxia Republic gives Huaxia a very big advantage in low-end products, and on the other hand, in the field of raw materials and resources, the British believe that it is necessary to compete with Germany, especially for resources such as natural rubber. The Republic of China replaced the Netherlands and informed the vast Dutch East Indies that the natural rubber from its origin could not be delivered to Germany! Even if the resources of the British were sufficient, the British intended to hoard these things, preferring to pile them in warehouses rather than allow the Germans to use them on the battlefield!
