The war had reached this point, and the German Empire knew that they could no longer salvage the war. If you continue to hold on, you will only fail. Once completely defeated by the Chinese Empire, the Chinese Empire will inevitably use all means to weaken the German Empire. That's what they don't want to see. Therefore, they wanted to negotiate with the Chinese Empire before the defeat in order to achieve a decent peace.

Keeping a united Germany was the goal of all Germans. A divided Germany was reunited after hundreds of years. They have put in a tremendous effort to get to this point. Only a united Germany will have a chance to rise again. If Germany were to be redivided, they would have to be reduced to a second-rate state.

In addition, it was the royal family's demand to preserve the rule of the Hohenzollern royal family in Germany. If the Chinese are unwilling, then they would rather not have this peace and continue to fight. At the same time, the Junker landowners of the German Empire also supported the royal family. This makes the royal family still have great influence in Germany. For ordinary people, it was under the leadership of the Hohenzollern royal family that Germany was unified and became strong. Therefore, they were also willing to accept the rule of the Hohenzollern royal family.

As for war reparations and the like, Germany could accept them. But only if the amount is not too much. After all, the war had already cost Germany dearly. The wealth they had so hard to accumulate had been almost consumed in the war. In addition, the land that has been shattered into ruins needs to be rebuilt, which requires a lot of money. Therefore, Germany wanted to be able to pay war reparations. Get some perks.

Suffice it to say, the Germans were not less demanding. Moreover. Compared with the requirements of the Chinese Empire, this gap is too great. So much so that in Albrech. Feng. After Count Ron said the bottom line on the German side. Wei Yuan immediately shook his head with a wry smile.

"Your Excellency, it seems that our differences are too great. This time, the negotiations only ended in failure. Wei Yuan said.

Albrech. Feng. Count Ron's heart suddenly sank. He knew what kind of disaster Germany would face if the negotiations broke down and the two sides returned to war again. Now, only the cities in western Germany have been bombed into ruins by the Chinese. If the war starts again, I am afraid that the whole of Germany will be reduced to ruins. Countless Germans will be killed in the war. Germany will be completely wiped out.

"Your Excellency Foreign Chancellor, the request of the German Reich is not excessive. I implore the Chinese Empire to consider our request. "Albrech. Feng. There was a hint of pleading in Count Ron's tone. Although, this seems to be detrimental to national dignity. However, he couldn't care so much about it.

Wei Yuan didn't laugh at Albrech because of this. Feng. Count Ron, on the contrary, was moved by his actions. This represents Albrech. Feng. Count Rhon this is really working for the interests of Germany. It is a pity that the current positions of the two sides are completely opposite. For the sake of the Reich, the German Empire had to be completely defeated. The territory that Germany had gained in the last war will be completely spit out. Austria-Hungary would also secede from Germany. These territories are used in addition to merit. In the remaining territories, one small state after another will be established. As for Germany itself, it will also be completely and directly divided into dozens of small countries. Only then would Germany not have the opportunity to threaten the Reich again.

Emperor Long Yufei as a person who traveled back from the afterlife. Naturally, the Germans knew their potential. Even after the brutal Second World War, the whole of Germany was reduced to rubble. However, the Germans still built their powerful state from the ruins. Economically. It became the most powerful country in post-war Europe. If a united Germany is allowed to continue to exist, it will not be many years before it happens. The country will be strong again. When the time comes, in order to defend the interests of the empire. I'm afraid I'll have to fight the Germans again.

Although, insisting on continuing the war now, it will cause more soldiers to die on the battlefield. However, this is better than the descendants of the future generations dying on the battlefield again, right? Long Yufei didn't want to leave the trouble to future generations. Therefore, it is better for him to solve all these troubles. It was precisely for this reason that he demanded that if the German Empire wanted to end the war, there was only unconditional surrender. If the German Empire did not agree, then the Empire's armies would continue to attack the German Empire until they were completely destroyed.

Long Yufei's point of view has been fully supported by both the military and the government of the empire. The military supported the complete destruction of Germany in the first place, and they did not want another war. Although the giants of the military are all warmongers. However, they also understand the cruelty of the battlefield better. If all the problems can be solved once and for all, there will be no need to leave the war to future generations.

Cabinet ministers believe that if the war continues, it will cost the country a great deal of wealth. However, the empire was ready before the war, so naturally it would not worry about this anymore. On the contrary, if the Germans are spared, it will undoubtedly be a return to the mountain. Once the Germans regained their strength, the Chinese Empire would probably pay a greater price if it wanted to destroy them.

It is precisely because of the thorough support of both the military and the government that Long Yufei's demands can be implemented.

"No, Your Excellency. The Chinese Empire is a country that does not like trouble, and we will not let threats continue. Your Excellency should also know that the Empire's world hegemony has been secured. However, in order to stifle all crises, we must kill all the signs. The German Empire was very strong, and a united German Empire in particular would pose a serious threat to the Empire. Therefore, a united German empire could never continue to exist. Only when Germany is divided into small states will the Reich be at ease. Wei Yuan also said truthfully, he believed that these truths, Albrech. Feng. Earl Ron should know that too.

Albrech. Feng. Count Ron was silent, he knew that if he stood on the side of the Chinese Empire, he would also support the complete strangulation of the crisis. It's a pity that it is Germany that will be strangled, and he is a little unacceptable.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, is there no other choice?" Albrech. Feng. Earl Ron asked.

Wei Yuan shook his head: "Germany must be dismembered, first, Germany announced its unconditional surrender, and then dismembered in a peaceful way. The other way is to do it in the form of war. Once Germany is completely defeated, Germany will be divided into small states. The end result of both is the same though. However, if the method had been peaceful, Germany would have lost many deaths and the country would not have been so badly damaged. As for how to choose, the choice is yours. ”

Albrech. Feng. Count Ron was silent for a moment, and then said, "I will convey the requirements of the Chinese Empire to the country. However, Your Excellency the Foreign Minister, I personally believe that the German Reich would never agree to such conditions. It is very likely that we will need to use war to determine the final victory. ”

Although, Albrech. Feng. Earl Ron knew that choosing a peaceful way might be the best option. However, the Germans would never accept such a humiliating peace. Even if it was fought to the end, the greatest price was paid. But as long as they try, the result is that there is no way to do it. At least, they have fought to the end for the fate of the country and the nation.

"Your Excellency, I can understand." Wei Yuan nodded. Although, he had some sympathy for the tragic fate of the Germans. However, this was advantageous for the Chinese Empire. There will be no real friends between countries, and some will only be interests. If the German Empire does not fall, then it is likely that it will be the Chinese Empire that falls.

Albrech. Feng. Count Ron's trip to China this time was destined to end in failure. When he transmitted the Chinese conditions back to Germany, the German leaders also made a quick decision.

There is no doubt that Germany could never accept the demand for unconditional surrender. Especially when Germany still has millions of troops, and they still have enough strength to fight this war. Surrendering now would undoubtedly make the Imperial Family and the Cabinet spurned by all Germans. They can only continue the war, even if it ends up being lost. But they at least have a clear conscience.

In addition, there is also a hint of extravagant hope in the hearts of the German high-level. That is, God can bless the German Empire, they do not seek to defeat the Chinese Empire, as long as the Chinese Empire pays a huge price in the war, which may make the Chinese change their attitude. If this can be done, then Germany may have a chance to continue to exist. They would be able to save a little more seed for Germany's re-emergence.

Kaiser Wilhelm I dragged his sick body and issued a national address. Wilhelm I claimed that the German Empire had reached its most dangerous moment and that all Germans should take up arms and participate in the war to defend their country. Even if all of them die in battle and the country is destroyed, the German spirit will live on forever.

Wilhelm I's speech reawakened the blood in the hearts of the Germans, who shouted frantically that they would fight to the death and make the Chinese Empire pay a heavy price. (To be continued......)
