The war has reached this point, and the German Empire already knows that they can no longer restore the war situation. If you continue to hold on, you will only fail. Once it is completely defeated by the Chinese Empire, the Chinese Empire will definitely use all means to weaken the German Empire. This is what they don't want to see. Therefore, they wanted to negotiate with the Chinese Empire before they were defeated in order to strive for a decent peace. Preserving a unified Germany is the goal of all Germans. The divided Germany was reunited hundreds of years later. They have put in a lot of effort to get to this point. Only with a unified Germany will they have a chance to rise again. If Germany is divided again, they will only become a second-rate country. In addition, it is a requirement of the royal family to maintain the rule of the Hohenzollern royal family in Germany. If the Chinese are not willing, then they would rather not have this peace and continue fighting. At the same time, the Junker landowners in 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 can accept them. But the premise is that the amount is not too much. After all, this war has cost Germany a huge price. The wealth they finally accumulated has been almost consumed in the war. In addition, the country that was in ruins needs to be rebuilt, which requires a lot of money. Therefore, Germany hopes to pay reparations for the war. Get some preferential treatment. It can be said that the Germans¡¯ requirements are not low. and. Compared with the requirements of the Chinese Empire, this gap is really too big. So much so that after Count Albrecht von Rohn stated Germany's bottom line. Wei Yuan immediately shook his head with a wry smile. "Your Excellency, it seems that our differences are too great. This negotiation will only end in failure." Wei Yuan said. Count Albrecht von Rowan¡¯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. Once the war starts again, I am afraid that the whole of Germany will be reduced to ruins. Countless Germans would be killed in the war. Germany will be completely wiped out. "Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, the German Empire's request is not excessive. I implore the Chinese Empire to consider our request." There was a hint of pleading in Count Albrecht von Rohn's tone. Although, this seems detrimental to the national character. However, he couldn't care less. Wei Yuan did not laugh at Count Albrecht von Rohn because of this, but was moved by his behavior. This means that Count Albrecht von Rohn is truly working for the benefit of Germany. Unfortunately, the current positions of the two sides are completely opposite. For the benefit of the empire, the German Empire must be completely defeated. Germany will completely spit out the territory it gained in the last war. Austria-Hungary would also secede from Germany. These territories are not only used to reward merit. One small country after another will be established on the remaining territory. As for Germany itself, it will also be completely and directly re-divided into dozens of small countries. Only in this way will Germany no longer have the opportunity to threaten the Reich. The emperor Long Yufei is a person who has traveled back from the future. Of course we know the development potential of the Germans. Even after experiencing the brutal World War II, the entire Germany was reduced to ruins. However, the Germans still built a strong country on the ruins. economically. It became the most powerful country in Europe after the war. If a unified Germany is allowed to continue to exist, it may not take many years. This country will become strong again. At that time, in order to defend the interests of the empire. I'm afraid we'll have to fight the Germans again. Although, if we insist on continuing the war now, more soldiers will die on the battlefield. However, this is better than future generations dying on the battlefield, right? Long Yufei did not want to leave troubles to future generations. Therefore, it is better for him to solve all these troubles. It was precisely because of this that he asked the German Empire to have the only option of unconditional surrender if it wanted to end the war. If the German Empire does not agree, then the imperial army will continue to attack the German Empire until they are completely destroyed. Long Yufei¡¯s view received full support from both the military and political parties of the empire. The military first supported the complete destruction of Germany, and they did not want to fight another war in the future. Although the military giants are all militants. However, they also understand the cruelty of the battlefield better. If all problems can be solved once and for all, there will undoubtedly be no need to leave war to future generations. cabinet sideAlthough the ministers here believe that if the war continues, it will consume a lot of national wealth. However, the empire had already made preparations before the war began, so naturally it no longer worried about this. On the contrary, if the Germans are let go, it will undoubtedly be the return of the tiger. Once the Germans become stronger again, the Chinese Empire will probably pay a greater price if it wants to destroy them. It was with the thorough support of both the military and the government that Long Yufei's request could be implemented. "No, Your Excellency the Count. The Chinese Empire is a country that does not like trouble. We will not allow threats to continue to exist. You should also know that the empire's world hegemony has been stabilized. However, in order to stifle all crises, we will All signs must be killed. The German Empire is very powerful, especially a unified German Empire, which will pose a serious threat to the empire. Therefore, a unified German Empire cannot continue to exist. Only when Germany is divided into small countries will the empire feel at ease." Wei Yuan also said truthfully. He believed that Count Albrecht von Rohn should also be very clear about these principles. Count Albrecht von Rowan was speechless. He knew that if he were from the standpoint of the Chinese Empire, he would also support the complete elimination of the crisis. Unfortunately, it was Germany that was going to be strangled, and he couldn't accept it. "Your Excellency, Foreign Minister, is there no other choice?" Count Albrecht von Rowan asked. Wei Yuan shook his head: "Germany must be dismembered. One is to declare unconditional surrender and then be dismembered in a peaceful way. The other way is to conduct it in a war. Once Germany is completely defeated, Germany will be divided. They have become small countries one after another. Although the final result of the two is the same. However, if a peaceful approach is adopted, many fewer people will die in Germany and the country will not be so severely damaged. As for how to choose, choose. The power is in your hands." Count Albrecht von Rowan was silent for a while, and then said: "I will convey the request of the Chinese Empire to the country. However, Your Excellency, Foreign Minister, I personally believe that the German Empire is. We will definitely not agree to such conditions. We will most likely need to use war to determine the final outcome. "Although Count Albrecht von Rowan knows that choosing a peaceful approach may be the best option. However, the Germans will never accept such a humiliating peace. Even if he fights to the end and pays the highest price. But as long as they work hard, there's nothing they can do about it. At least, they have fought to the end for the fate of their country and nation. "Your Excellency, I can understand." Wei Yuan nodded. Although, he had some sympathy for the tragic fate of the Germans. However, this is beneficial to the Chinese Empire. Between countries, there will be no true friends, only interests. If the German Empire does not fall, it is very likely that the Chinese Empire will fall. Count Albrecht von Rohn¡¯s trip to China is destined to end in failure. When he conveyed the Chinese conditions back to Germany, the German leaders quickly made a decision. There is no doubt that Germany will 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. If we surrender now, it will undoubtedly make the royal family and cabinet despised by all Germans. They can only continue the war, even if it still fails in the end. But at least they have a clear conscience. In addition, German senior leaders also have extravagant hopes. That is, God can bless the German Empire. They do not seek to defeat the Chinese Empire, but only want to make the Chinese Empire pay a huge price in the war. This may make the Chinese people change their attitude. If this can be done, then Germany may have a chance to continue to exist. They can then save some seeds for Germany's re-emergence. Kaiser Wilhelm I delivered a national address while dragging his illness. William 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 the country. Even if everyone is killed in battle and the country is destroyed, the spirit of Germany will always exist. The speech of William I once again aroused the passion in the hearts of the Germans. They clamored crazily to fight to the end and make the Chinese Empire pay a heavy price.
