BXBX NOVEL Chapter 366: Proposal for peace talks (seeking monthly ticket)
"Your Highness, if we want to have peace talks with the Buddang Party, we will inevitably make many harsh demands. At that time, will they be able to agree? After all, those people in the Buddang Party are not soft-boned!" Prime Minister Bernhard Feng ? Bilo said.
"Your Excellency, the leaders of the cloth party are indeed very tough people. However, their toughness is relative. In their eyes, the interests of the party are the most important, and the country must come after the party. Therefore, if they can withdraw from the war and deal with domestic opposition forces and foreign interference forces with peace of mind, they will definitely sell out their national interests." Qin Tian must say affirmatively.
"Your Highness, are you joking? How is this possible?" Foreign Minister von Kidren Wachter looked surprised.
Others, including William II, were also full of disbelief. For them, the country is definitely the most important. Isn\'t everything they do for the benefit of the country? It was the first time they knew that it was really strange that someone would harm the interests of the country for the interests of the political party.
"Father, everyone. This is indeed unbelievable. But, I promise, it is absolutely true. If they don\'t agree, we will act as if we are going to attack. When the time comes, they will definitely give in." Qin Tian looked affirmative.
"Your Majesty, if the cloth party is really like this, it will be very beneficial to the empire! The empire can take this opportunity to hit them hard." von Kidren Wa Hitt smiled.
"Well! Then follow the advice of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" William II nodded.
After the imperial meeting ended, Qin Tian, Prime Minister Bernhard von Bülow, and Foreign Minister von Kidren Wachter began to discuss what conditions they should raise in the negotiations with Russia.
"Your Highness, what\'s your opinion on our next peace talks with the Russian Bunker Party?" Bernhard von Bülow asked. With Qin Tian\'s outstanding military and political talents, and Qin Tian\'s position as crown prince being fully consolidated, the civil servant faction of the empire has basically turned to Qin Tian. Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, William II also supports Qin Tian. If William II didn\'t like Qin Tian and wanted to replace Qin Tian, they would definitely stand by William II\'s side without hesitation. After all, William II was the real master of the empire, and Qin Tian could at best be regarded as a more reliable heir.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I have generally thought about it. The conditions we put forward to the Russian cloth party must be very, very harsh. Even if the lion opens his mouth, it can be regarded as giving the Russians a room for bargaining. In the end, they will definitely agree. Our conditions." Qin Tian said.
At the same time, in Qin Tian\'s mind, he began to think about the content of the "Brest Treaty" signed by Germany and the Burundi Party in another time and space. In another time and space, since the Burundian Party was able to sign the "Treaty of Brest" with Germany, in this time and space, even if Germany proposes the same conditions, or even harsher conditions, it is estimated that the Russian Burundian Party will accept it. .
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, Your Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, I think that our main requirements in terms of territory and war reparations can be as follows. In terms of territory, Russia must give up its claims to Poland, Lithuania, Courland, Livland and Estland (that is, Poland and the three Baltic countries) jurisdiction and sovereignty, hand over these areas to the German Empire. In addition, allow Finland and Ukraine to be independent. If possible, occupy the whole or half of Belarus. In terms of war reparations, let the Russians pay at least Our war indemnity of 6 billion marks, if possible, it is not a bad idea to increase it to 10 billion marks. This time, the Buddist party can be regarded as having fully accepted the huge wealth left by the tsar. In addition, they are raging in Russia. Land. Paying the empire\'s war reparations of 10 billion marks is nothing to them," Qin Tian said.
Prime Minister Bernhard von Bülow and Foreign Minister von Kidren Wacht were stunned. Qin Tian\'s conditions in these two aspects cannot be described as harsh at all. If the Russians accepted these conditions in full, the German Empire would benefit greatly from it. However, they did not think that the Russian cloth party would accept such harsh conditions.
"Your Highness, will the Russians really accept our conditions?" Von Kidren Wascht swallowed hard.
"Of course, I firmly believe! As long as we act like they will use force if they don\'t agree. I think they will definitely agree to our request. Besides, they can have what they are today, but it is inseparable from our strong support .Now, it\'s their turn to pay the price!" Qin Tian smiled.
"Then let\'s negotiate with the Russians according to His Highness\'s request. Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, you, as the representative of the Empire, have full powers to negotiate with Russia on behalf of the Empire." Prime Minister Bernhard von Bülow said.
"It\'s my honor!" Von Kidren Wachter readily agreed. If he can win huge benefits for the German Empire in this negotiation, he will get a great credit.
