    "Yes, peace, peace is the most important thing." Looking at a rotten egg flying to the window, Sir Gray wiped his cold sweat and said. He did not dare to say anything else except this at this time.  Fortunately, the protesting students around them all kept their sense as much as possible. At most, they only threw rotten eggs and rotten tomatoes, and no one would throw bricks. In addition, the guarding military police quickly stepped forward and used shields to push the convoy.  A passage was opened, so Sir Gray and the delegation led by him finally reached the Summer Palace without any danger.  Next, they need to go to the palace to see His Majesty the Emperor of China, then visit the Chinese Prime Minister, the Speaker of the National Assembly, the Foreign Minister and the Chairman of the Allied Council, and finally formally hold peace talks with the Allied negotiating delegation in the Summer Palace. Of course, this is a long-term task.  , it is estimated that it will not be completed in three or two months. After all, this is the re-division of the entire world, and there are too many things that need to be discussed.  Fortunately, the war is over. The armies of both the Allied Powers and the Allied Powers have stopped fighting on the battlefield. They are guarding their defense zones and waiting for new orders. In some places, the Allied Powers have even begun to withdraw their troops on their own initiative. Will one party surrender to the other side next?  The resumption of war will depend on the outcome of Beijing's negotiations.  Including the North American government finally ordered to stop the fighting at this time. After all, Emperor Yang only said that North America would be included in China's sphere of influence in the future and did not say that he would destroy them. His previous persistence was nothing more than being bullied by these imperialist invaders, and there was still something in his heart.  It¡¯s just that the fire is being held in and cannot be released. After understanding that the situation is over, one has to finally regain his senses.  In fact, at this time, North America and Canada did not have much space in their hands. There was a defensive circle in Chicago, a defensive circle in Detroit, and a defensive line on the Niagara River. The latter two protected Toronto and Montreal downstream. These two major industrial centers passed through the Great Lakes.  The water system provided supplies to the American and Canadian coalition forces, as well as to all other cities in Western Canada, including Vancouver.  The central plains and the eastern coast of North America from New York to Boston had fallen into the hands of the coalition.  So far, except for the Chilean guerrillas who are still resisting the invaders of Argentina, Bolivia and Peru, the whole world has no longer heard the sound of gunfire. The long-lost peace has made countries around the world cheer. Of course, after cheering, they have to quickly clean up the ruins of their homes.  .  At this time, almost more than half of the land in Europe has been completely destroyed. This really needs to be cleaned up. Because I miss my homeland, there is a truce on the front. Both the Allies and the Allies have seen a wave of soldiers fleeing to varying degrees.  The officers also turned a blind eye.  What's more, some of them are on the run. Anyway, the war is over, and they don't want to fight anymore even if the talks break down.  This situation is particularly serious in the Russian army. It is estimated that on average, at least a thousand people flee their troops every day and return to their hometowns all the way from various fronts. Of course, one-third of them have lofty ideals and half  On the way to St. Petersburg, no one noticed.  As for the negotiations in Beijing, there is actually nothing to talk about. All the Allied Powers can strive for is less war reparations. In addition, the Russians also need to study clearly whether to cede the east of the Volga River or the east of the Urals.  Then there is the land they need to cede to Germany, Austria and the Ottoman Empire. These two are the main issues. As for the others, there is no point in talking about them. The land that Britain needs to cede to China is basically all in China's hands.  Naturally, it is impossible to give it back. Although France has regained the land occupied by Germany, if they do not give it back, William will definitely not agree.  "When I say east of the Volga River, I mean east of the Volga River. Can I change what I said at will?" Emperor Yang said to the Russian negotiator Count Witte with an unhappy look on his face.  "Your Majesty, if this happens, Her Majesty the Queen of our country will be very sad. I want to use your friendship with Her Majesty the Queen of our country. I don't want to see her too sad. Here is a personal letter from the Queen to you. She very much hopes that you will be with her.  Our Emperor can restore the friendship of the past, and he very much hopes that Russia and China can continue to be as close as brothers in the future," Witte said cautiously.  Of course, what he meant by this was not to ask Emperor Yang to think about his friendship with Empress Alexandra in bed, but to remind him that both Russia and China had a potential enemy that needed to be faced after the war. If Emperor Yang could  Be open to Russia, then Russia is very willing to serve as a pawn for China in the future, and we can deal with the Germans together.  Emperor Yang received the letter from Yuan Shizhang expressionlessly. His wife's letter was more direct. It made it clear that her cousin was her husband's main enemy after the war, and Germany would definitely not stop.  The pace of external expansion, after recovering from the trauma of the war, will definitely continue to expand eastward. It is impossible for a too weak Russia to stop it. At that time, it can only surrender toChina, I believe that is definitely not a good thing for China.  But if Russia is not overly weakened, a Russian empire that is strong enough to counter Germany will become a strong barrier for China in the West. With Russia in China, there will never be a need to worry that German expansion will threaten China's interests.  It should be said that the Russians are very clear about this. Of course, Yang Feng also believes that Alexandra has a similar private letter sent to her cousin. Now Russia just wants to choose a backer to resist  Germany can continue to expand eastward or resist China's continued expansion to the west. Between the two, it is obviously most beneficial to lean towards China.  First of all, China is now the most powerful, and the strength of this backing is reassuring. Judging from the current strength comparison, Germany does not have the strength to provoke China in the short term. Russia's security is guaranteed by following China.  Secondly, China has swallowed too much this time, and digestion in the future will definitely take a long time. To put it simply, Yang Feng ate much fuller than William, and the next time he will feel hungry will definitely take longer than William.  This way the safe period of lying at his feet will be longer.  But if Yang Feng really insists on insisting on the east of the Volga River, then Russia will never accept it. It would be equivalent to cutting off almost half of Russia's existing territory, and then Russia would have nothing left. If that really happens  Russia had no choice but to surrender to Germany.  "Well, I feel a little sad when you say this. Thinking back on the friendship with Nicholas and Alexandra, it seems like it was just yesterday. But after all, I am only the emperor of a constitutional empire. I can't do it because of personal feelings.  To interfere with the government's decision, the most I can do is help you make peace, but if the Congress and the cabinet insist on the original conditions, then there is nothing I can do," Yang Feng said with a sad expression. At this time, he did not mention what he had just said.  That's it.  "Thank you, Your Majesty." Witte said quickly.  "However, one thing is necessary. China's territory must cross the Ural Mountains. There is no room for negotiation on this point." As soon as he finished thanking him, Yang Feng continued.  "What does your Majesty mean?" Witte asked warily, but he could understand this point. If the two sides use the Ural Mountains as the dividing line, Russia will undoubtedly gain greater freedom, but China's territory extends beyond the Ural Mountains, then  Russia is effectively in Yang Feng's hands.  "Your country must cede a sufficient area of ??land to China west of the Ural Mountains. As for the size of this land, this can be negotiated separately. This is the bottom line and cannot be changed." Yang Feng said, such an extension into Russia  The core bridgehead is a must. Perm, Izhevsk, these places must be obtained. It is estimated that the Russians will be a little unbearable further south. Who cares, when the Russian Civil War breaks out, it will probably be over again.  They have to give it to the south as well.  "Your Majesty, the French representative is still waiting to be summoned!" After sending Witte away, Attendant Yuan said.  "The French? What will such a worthless country do with him? Just send him away!" Emperor Yang said disdainfully.  France indeed has no value to him anymore, and such a country is not worth supporting. He can support the Russians on land and the British on the sea. This will be enough to lock William on the left and right.  Helping France is too obvious. Besides, the three minions of Spain, Italy, and the Ottomans are in southern Europe. This is enough to ensure China's strategic layout. There is no need to make additional moves.  In this case, Chief Yuan had no choice but to go out and tell the French negotiators with regret on his face that His Majesty the Emperor had caught a cold occasionally and was not feeling well enough to see guests. You might as well please come back.  The poor French representatives had no choice but to leave the palace in humiliation. Their current situation was very bleak. The Germans were very firm in their demands. Everything north of the Seine River must be ceded to Germany. William would not make Bismarck's mistake this time. As for  Paris also uses the Seine River as the dividing line to divide half of the country. Of course, the main part is still in German hands. In addition, within 50 years after the war, France is only allowed to retain a maximum of 200,000 troops and is not allowed to have a navy.  This is actually equivalent to disarming France. From now on, France will always lie at the feet of Germany. I originally thought that I could ask for Yang Feng's help and lose some benefits, even a little less, but unfortunately Emperor Yang directly  Ignoring them, the last hope was now gone.  The French negotiators who walked out of the Imperial City of China felt extremely sad. Poor France had actually reached the point where they were kicked out even if they came to beg for food. Thinking about how majestic the Napoleonic era was, the whole of Europe was trampled under its feet. It took less than a day.  Within a hundred years, it would be reduced to the status of a third-rate small country.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
