Chapter 240

Goppel did not immediately enter the negotiation process, as expected, but ate a hearty breakfast first.

He was particularly interested in a kind of stuff called buns in Daming, and ate an entire cage of drawers one by one.

I also ate a few leek boxes, and the green thing inside looked like grass, and the yellow one seemed to be eggs.

Soon he regretted it, and when the shrimp dumplings with a crystal clear crust were brought to him, he wanted to try one too, but ...... He was full.

Daming's rice porridge is very delicious, thicker than milk, and naturally more satisfying than milk.

At eight o'clock sharp, Goppel entered the conference room. After the two sides were seated, two photographers walked in and took pictures of both sides.

On one side is the German flag, and on the other side is the Yellow Dragon Flag of the Ming Dynasty.

The negotiators on both sides sat down clearly, and the negotiations officially began.

Li Xiao sat at the most inconspicuous end of the Ming Mission, looking leisurely and complacent, and opposite him was a very fat white man.

People who are fat seem to love to sweat, and this fat man is full of sweat.

It could be seen that he was very nervous, and kept wiping the sweat from his face with a handkerchief, trying not to let the sweat drip on the black dress.

"Dear Monsieur Goppel, we are here to negotiate for the future and peace of the Ming Empire and the German Empire.

It's a fair negotiation and hopefully we'll all get what we want today. Zheng Sen made a rather official speech.

"Dear Mr. Zheng Sen, we are also here for peace and for the future and destiny of millions of soldiers in both countries.

We are against killing, and I want peace. Today, we are here to end this war that should not have been, and to renew the friendship between Germany and the Ming Empire.

Long live peace! Goppel's speech was also quite official.

Zheng Sen stood up and shook hands with Goppel, and the photographer wasted no time in capturing the scene.

"Given the fact that a ceasefire has been achieved between the front-line forces on both sides. So let's not talk about a ceasefire, so we can save some time. Zheng Sen got straight to the point.

"Yes, that's what we think too."

Goppel nodded earnestly, There is really no need to talk about a ceasefire now. Anyway, as long as the Ming Dynasty did not attack, it would be impossible for the German side to attack.

"Then let's talk about our Ming requirements!

First, the German Empire was to withdraw from the European coalition. And withdraw troops from the territory of Russia!

Second, the German Empire was to launch an attack on France by September 20.

Third, during the German Empire's attack on France, it enjoyed all the rights that the allies of the Ming Empire had.

We're here to help!

Fourth, the German Reich should be ......! ”

Zheng Sen took out the prepared manuscript and read it according to the script!

Everyone pricked up their ears to listen, and when they heard that Germany could have the status of an ally of the Ming Empire, Li Xiao obviously found that the nose of the fat man opposite was glowing.

"The German Empire fully agreed to the conditions of the Ming Empire, but ...... We have one more request. Goppel hesitated, but made a request.

"Oh what request?" Zheng Sen was stunned, he didn't expect Germany to make a request.

What exactly are the requirements?

"Together with Russia, we want to annex Poland first. The territory of Poland can be divided in two, and we divide it equally with Russia. "Goppel knew that the Ming Dynasty had no territorial ambitions for Europe, so he was relieved.

Simply, they first made territorial claims.

In this way, there is a buffer zone of three hundred kilometers between Germany and Russia.

In the event of a dispute with Russia in the future, this 300-kilometer buffer zone is very important.

After all, after this European war. There are only two great powers left in Europe: Germany and Russia!

Russia was very depleted in the European war, but Germany needed to fight the French army with the support of the Ming Dynasty.

The French army under Napoleon's command was fighting on its own soil, and the war must have been very fierce.

Goppel has not forgotten the war ten years ago.

Verdun, the Somme, these are the names of places that make Germany sad.

"Partition of Poland! Then you have to destroy the Polish army first. Zheng Sen thought about it, but this was beyond his expectations. He really wanted to ask the marshal for instructions, but today Li Xiao wanted him to be fully responsible, and he couldn't go to Li Xiao.

"We agree in principle with you to divide Poland, but you must first defeat the Polish army.

The main opponent of the Ming army is France, so what we can offer you is very limited against the Polish army. ”

Zheng Sen thought about it and said.

When Germany attacked Poland, Zheng Sen did not know what the outcome would be. However, Zheng Sen knew that this Polish army was nothing more than an army that had been reconstituted after being annihilated by the main force of the Polish army two years earlier.

The combat effectiveness is estimated to be not too high, and against such an army, Zheng Sen thinks that in the end, Germany should win.

"We understand the concerns of the Ming Dynasty, but Poland is a diehard Napoleon. If the Polish resistance is not eliminated, they will not only prevent the Russians from advancing further westward, but they will also stab us in the back when the Germans attack France.

If this were the case, Germany would have to place at least fifty divisions on the German-Polish border to resist a possible Polish attack.

Therefore, our army proposes to annihilate the Polish army first, together with the Ming army and the Russian army. ”

Goppel made a lot of sense, after all, the Polish king was appointed by Napoleon. The influence of France on Poland was simply too great!

If the Polish army stabbed in the back when the Germans attacked, it would indeed be unbearable.

"So, will this affect Germany's attack on France before September 20?" Zheng Sen compared the timing of Germany's attack on France.

"We will take out part of the troops and first attack the French region of Metz, Assa, and Lorraine. After our army has eaten the Poles, we can attack France with all our might.

It takes about four months to half a year! Goppel estimated it and gave a specific time.

Li Xiao smiled slightly, this Goppel is really cunning.

They attacked in Metz, Assa, and Lorraine first, and that was basically a lack of effort.

Half a year later, when the main force of the Ming Dynasty rushed to the French border. They will act together with the Ming army!

With the support of the Ming army, both casualties and losses will be much smaller. Moreover, after the war, they would also ask for Alsace and Lorraine, which Germany had always wanted.

Sure enough, it's a good calculation, and it really deserves to be Dr. Goppel. I want to see how Zheng Sen responds, and whether Da Ming will suffer a dumb loss.
