Chapter 1234 Compromise
Ali Pasha and Mustafa Rest Pasha of the Ottoman Empire were so anxious that they were about to get angry. In order to deal with the United States, the Chinese Empire, the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium had been arguing with the delegation of the Kingdom of Prussia for two hours...≦ And as time goes by, the anger of both sides is getting stronger and stronger. If this continues, the peace meeting may break down directly and end in failure. That is undoubtedly the last thing the Ottoman Empire wants to see!
Originally, the Ottoman Turkish Empire wanted to get a share of the United States, but seeing that the Chinese Empire was so determined, they could only withdraw. After the Ottoman Turkish Empire did not interfere, the Prussian Kingdom seemed to be alone and lonely. It would be even more impossible to seize food from the Chinese Empire. But even so, the delegation of the Prussian Kingdom did not give up.
"Gentlemen! In my opinion, there is no need to continue this peace and congress. Since it is impossible to reach an agreement, let's forget it! Let's deal with the territory they control according to the current actual control line!" Imperial Prime Minister Lin Zihao said coldly.
"How can this be done? The Kingdom of Prussia opposes this proposal. The world needs to restore peace, and military occupation must be over." Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck immediately jumped out. If it were dealt with in the substantive control areas of various countries, the Chinese Empire would undoubtedly have taken a great advantage. Of course, the Kingdom of Prussia did not actually suffer any losses. However, they did not want to see the Chinese Empire take such a big advantage.
"Everyone, please calm down first!" Ali Pasha said quickly. The Chinese Empire is going to threaten to end the negotiations. This is a big deal! If the Chinese Empire really stops negotiations, then the peace meeting will not be possible. The Chinese Empire is the most powerful country after this world war. Without the participation of the Chinese Empire, even if an agreement is reached, the Chinese Empire will not be recognized.
"Yes! Otherwise, it will be too late. Today's meeting will be here first! Let's continue tomorrow!" Mustafa Lester Pasha also said. If we continue to talk, more intense conflicts may break out. It's better to stop the negotiations for the time being to calm down and avoid more problems in the time being.
"The Chinese Empire has no objection!" Lin Zihao said. He didn't want the negotiations to collapse this time. It was just his threatening words. However, it seems that such a threat is very effective now. Whether it is the Ottoman Turkish Empire or the Prussian Kingdom, they dare not let the Chinese Empire withdraw from the Chinese Empire. Otherwise, this time the peace meeting would be a complete joke.
"The Kingdom of Prussia agreed to recess!" Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck also said.
Delegates from various countries came out one after another and left the conference room. Outside, they had already waited for media reporters from various countries. However, the news they received was beyond remarkable. However, the reporters could still see from the serious expressions on the faces of the representatives that the peace meeting was not going smoothly. So, when their reports were sent back to their respective homes, the whole world began to pay attention. Everyone yearned for peace and did not want the war to continue. Of course, for several victorious countries, if they could not protect their own interests, they would certainly not agree.
"Damn it! Those damn yellow-skinned monkeys, they dared to threaten us with withdrawal from the peace meeting! It was so shameless." As soon as they returned to the embassy, Prince Frederick William cursed. At today's peace meeting, he only had the power to attend, but no right to express his opinions. So even after he heard the arrogant words of the delegation of the Chinese Empire, he was very angry, but he could not express his opinions. This made him feel bad. Of course, at that time, he might not dare to say such words. If that was true, it would be an insult to the Chinese Empire. The relationship between the Prussian Kingdom and the Chinese Empire would deteriorate sharply, and even war would not be ruled out. In order to calm the situation, he would definitely pay a heavy price. Therefore, Prince Frederick William was not a fool, and he began to vent his anger after returning to the embassy.
"Your Highness, I don't want to hear this again. Otherwise, I can only ask His Majesty the King to recall you to the country in advance!" After hearing the words of Crown Prince Frederick William, Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck frowned.
"I..." Crown Prince Frederick William was very aggrieved. Today, the delegation of the Chinese Empire was so arrogant. He didn't think that there was anything wrong with insulting the Chinese Empire. However, seeing the stern look of Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck, he had to swallow the rebuttal words back into his stomach. He knew that Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck was the one who said that he could do it. If he didn't want to return to China early, it would be better to be honest and obedient. Of course, this made Crown Prince Frederick William very dissatisfied with Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck.
"Prime Minister, the Chinese Empire's attitude is very tough today! It seems that they will not let us share the United States, or even the entire North America!" said Foreign Minister Albrech von Ron. When he saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong, he immediately smoothed out.
"Well! The attitude of the Chinese people is already very obvious. If we really want to compete with them for North America, they will not hesitate to break up with us!" Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck nodded. North America is a big piece of fat. If you can take a bite, it will be very beneficial to the Kingdom of Prussia. But unfortunately, the Chinese Empire will not let the Kingdom of Prussia succeed.
"Prime Minister, what should we do?" Count Moltke also asked. The inability to share North American interests disappointed them.
"We are destined to be unable to share North America. However, we still have to maintain a tough attitude on this issue in exchange for concessions from the Chinese Empire in the handling of the Austro-Hungarian Empire!" Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck said. In fact, this is his real purpose. Although North America is good, it is too far from the Prussian Kingdom. Without a powerful navy, it is simply beyond reach. However, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is just next to the Prussian Kingdom. If the Prussian Kingdom can annex the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a great German empire will have taken shape.
"The Chinese Empire did not participate in the attack on the Austro-Hungarian Empire. What reason do they have to get involved in the handling of the Austro-Hungarian Empire?" Crown Prince Frederick William said dissatisfied.
"His Royal Highness, the Chinese Navy's warships have shelled the coast of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. If the Chinese Empire must use this point, we will not be able to stop them!" said Earl Moltke.
"Hell!" Crown Prince Frederick William cursed inwardly.
"So, we need to remain tough on North American issues. The Prussian Kingdom can not interfere with North American affairs, but the Chinese Empire must also ensure that the Austro-Hungarian Empire is handled by us!" Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck said.
At this time, the staff of the embassy came in to report that Ali Pasha and Mustafa Rest Pasha of the Ottoman Turkish Empire were visiting and asked to meet Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck.
"Well, take them to the reception room!" Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck ordered.
The staff nodded and left immediately.
"It seems that the host can't hold back any more. Earl Ron, go and meet them with me!" A smile appeared on the corner of Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck's mouth.
"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister!" Foreign Minister Albrech von Ron nodded.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, come here to visit us, please don't mind!"
"Where? Your Excellency Pasha, welcome your invasion!" Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck's face was filled with smiles.
"Prime Minister, everyone's disagreement was too great at the meeting this afternoon. The Ottoman Turkish Empire hoped that everyone could make some concessions so that the peace conference could continue!" Ali Pasha first expressed the meaning of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.
"Of course, Lord Pasha, this is also the goal of the Prussian Kingdom. However, the Chinese Empire's attempt to dominate North America is simply inappropriate!" Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck said with some angrily.
"Prince, North America is too far away from the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and we have not sent troops to fight in North America. Therefore, the Ottoman Turkish Empire does not intend to ask for sharing the interests of North America!" said Mustafa Lester Pasha. He said this, which is equivalent to expressing his opinion for the Ottoman Turkish Empire. If the Prussian Kingdom still wants to worry about the interests of North America, the Ottoman Turkish Empire will no longer support them.
A hint of anger flashed across Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck's face. If the Ottoman Turkish Empire does not cooperate, the Kingdom of Prussia alone will not be able to resist the strong pressure of the Chinese Empire.
"His Excellency Pasha, is this the attitude of the Ottoman Turkish Empire? Are you afraid of the Chinese Empire?" asked Count Albrech von Ron, the foreign minister of the Kingdom of Prussia.
"His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Ottoman Turkish Empire hopes that this peace meeting can continue successfully!" If possible, the Ottoman Turkish Empire certainly wants to share the interests of North America. However, if this requirement is adhered to, the peace meeting will not continue. Therefore, they must make choices. Although North America is a piece of fat, it is too far from the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire does not have the ability to eat this fat piece of meat. Therefore, they can only give up. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
