Chapter 1551: Unconditional Surrender

War is usually a continuation of politics, and it is often not at the negotiating table that you don't get what you want before it goes to war. And once the war has progressed to a certain extent, it will return to the negotiating table. Even though the world war was going on, diplomatic channels were actually retained between the Chinese Empire and the German Empire. This is why when the German Empire wanted to negotiate peace with the Chinese Empire, the two sides were able to get on the line very quickly.

The Chinese Empire acceded to the German Empire's request for peace talks. Although, the emperor Long Yufei and the ministers all believed that the negotiations would not lead to anything. However, it is not without benefit for the two sides to get in touch first. In any case, the war will continue to be fought, and there will be no ceasefire just because the two sides are negotiating. What's more, the current Chinese Empire has completely grasped the initiative on the battlefield.

Foreign Minister of the German Empire. Feng. Count Ron, after leaving Germany, flew all the way from Europe to China on a transport plane provided by the Chinese Empire. The whole voyage took only three days. This makes Albrech. Feng. Count Ron was amazed. The gap between the German Empire and the Chinese Empire was simply too great. There is already an unimaginably huge gap between the scientific and technological strength of the two sides, especially the scientific and technological strength of the military industry. The German Empire wanted to win the war, and now it seemed completely impossible.

Albrech. Feng. When Count Ron arrived at the airport, he was greeted by a vice-minister of the Imperial Chinese Foreign Affairs. Although, in the past, when he came, he was greeted by the foreign minister of the Chinese Empire. But now Albrech. Feng. Can Earl Ron still care about that much? Now the two sides are in the middle of the war, and the Chinese Empire is about to win the war. The attitude will naturally be a little more arrogant.

The car was carrying Albrech. Feng. Count Ron went directly to the Imperial Foreign Office. Imperial Foreign Minister Wei Yuan was already waiting for him in his office. The two sides will hold consultations and exchange views on a range of issues. Of course, whether this will bring this war to an early end. It's up to the two sides to come to an agreement. At the very least, the Chinese Empire is not very hopeful about this negotiation.

"Welcome to China. Your Excellency the Earl. Wei Yuan said with a smile on his face. His smile is genuine and doesn't give the impression that he's on the side of a victor right now. Of course, if he didn't even have this ability, Wei Yuan would not have become the Imperial Foreign Minister.

"Hello, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary!" Albrech. Feng. Count Ron also had a smile on his face. He felt some emotion in his heart, once upon a time, the two countries were still allies, and they rebelled against the world system led by the United Kingdom. However, after the win. But the two countries are rapidly moving towards confrontation. This is probably the ability to share hardships but not prosperity.

The two sides sat down, and the secretary had already sent tea, but the atmosphere in the office was a little awkward.

"Your Excellency the Earl, what is the main purpose of your visit to the Chinese Empire on behalf of Germany this time?" Wei Yuan broke the silence.

"Your Excellency Foreign Chancellor, the German Reich has come to realize that this war was a mistake at all. If this war continues, it will not be good for either of our countries. Our two countries can coexist peacefully. Therefore, the German Reich wanted to end the war and restore peace to the world. "Albrech. Feng. Earl Ron said. Although, his reasons are somewhat high-sounding. But. His meaning was very clear, that is, Germany could not hold on and wanted to demand peace. It depends on what the Chinese Empire says.

"Your Excellency, the Chinese Empire has always disliked war. We are a peace-loving nation. It would be best if the war could be ended. Wei Yuan said with a smile.

Looking at the smile on Wei Yuan's face. Albrech. Feng. Earl Ron was eager to give him a slap in the face. This is simply talking nonsense with your eyes open! If the Chinese Empire is a peace-loving country, then how did the Chinese Empire now have half the world's territory? Isn't it obtained through a foreign war with one after another? Of course, the Chinese Empire can assume that their participation in these wars was not voluntary and completely passive. Every war is fought against the invasion of other countries.

"Your Excellency Foreign Minister, the German nation is also a nation of peace. That's why we decided to stop the war. "Albrech. Feng. Count Ron also said cheekily. The German Empire was able to complete the unification and annexation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, becoming the most powerful country in Europe, which seems to have been achieved through one foreign war after another. However, no one cares about this nonsense.

"Your Excellency, it is not impossible to end the war. As long as the German Empire agreed to one condition, then the war could be over. Wei Yuan said with a smile.

When the German side stated that it wanted to hold peace talks, the Chinese Empire had already convened a special imperial council for this purpose. It was also at the Imperial Council that conditions were formed for the Germans.

"On what terms?" Albrech. Feng. Count Ron was in high spirits. As long as the war can end, Germany can get a respite, and let Germany continue to exist, let alone one condition, even if it is ten, they will agree.

"The German Empire declares its unconditional surrender!" Wei Yuan said word by word.

Albrech. Feng. Count Ron was stunned for a moment, such a condition is undoubtedly to dispose of the German Empire to death! Once Germany announced its unconditional surrender, what to do with them was not up to the Chinese Empire?

"No, Your Excellency Foreign Chancellor, the German Empire is absolutely not in a position to accept such conditions." Albrech. Feng. Count Ron shook his head repeatedly, this was too far from the expectations of the German Empire. Germany will never agree to such peace conditions, and if the Chinese must adhere to such conditions, then they would rather fight to the death.

"Your Excellency, you should think about it. If we do not agree to our terms, it means that the war will continue, and the end result will most likely be the occupation of the German panorama, and the whole of Germany will be reduced to ruins. The smile on Wei Yuan's face had disappeared. The armies of the Chinese Empire and its allies were already preparing for a final battle against Germany. The next step was to invade Germany. When the time comes, the Germans want to surrender, and there is no chance.

"The German Empire is not yet at the point of being slaughtered, and we still have eight million troops. If we want, we will be able to arm an army of five million or more. If we fight to the death, even if the Chinese Empire can win the war, you will pay an unimaginable price. "Albrech. Feng. Count Ron gritted his teeth and said that at this time, he would definitely not be able to back down.

"Your Excellency, I admire your courage. However, the German Empire also seems to have underestimated the determination of the Chinese Empire. In this war, we have committed six million army forces, and hundreds of thousands of air and navy. We can throw in so many more troops if we need to. As for the cost, as long as the war can be won, even the greatest price is acceptable. This is not only the intention of His Majesty the Emperor, but also the meaning of the whole people. Wei Yuan continued.

Albrech. Feng. Count Ron only felt a little chill all over his body, if the Chinese Empire continued the war at all costs, then Germany would definitely have no way out. Now Germany is about to come to the final end, as long as the Chinese continue to push Germany to the cliff, Germany will fall to pieces. The Chinese, on the other hand, seem to be happy to do so.

Albrech. Feng. Count Ron knew that the Chinese were doing this entirely to consolidate their world hegemony. As long as the Chinese Empire defeated Germany, no country in the world would be able to challenge them. In the future, the Chinese Empire will only develop better and better. And the whole world will be prostrate at the feet of the Chinese Empire.

For thousands of years, most of the time, this ancient country was ahead of the rest of the world. Now it looks like it's going to go back to that track. The Western world has only been on the rise for a few hundred years. This makes Albrech. Feng. Count Ron felt sad.

"Your Excellency Foreign Secretary, Germany may promise a conditional surrender. We can pay enough for this war. For example, we could withdraw from those territories in Eastern Europe, or even from Austria-Hungary. In addition, we can also pay an indemnity to the Chinese Empire and the Peace Alliance. Such a price is not low, right? Why did the Chinese Empire rush to exterminate it? "Albrech. Feng. Earl Ron said.

"Your Excellency, let's not waste time, I want to know, what is the bottom line of the German Empire?" Wei Yuan asked. Tell Germany directly that if the Chinese Empire can accept it, then there is still a possibility for the two sides to continue talks. If the Chinese Empire does not accept this bottom line, then the negotiations can be declared broken, and the two sides should continue to fight the war.

Albrech. Feng. Count Ron hesitated for a moment, but finally said: "To preserve a united Germany, post-war Germany must be a normal country, and the Hohenzollern royal family continues to lead the German Empire!" (To be continued......)
