Chapter 324: Armistice on the Eastern Front (Part 2)

After the passion, Xiao Jie hugged Louise in her arms, and her big hands moved around her. This does not mean that Xiao Jie fell in love with Louise. He did this just because this feeling was really good.

"Can you tell me why you promised Francis I to plead with me?" Xiao Jie asked. He was always very curious about this reason.

Louise looked at Xiao Jie with her charming big eyes, then gritted her teeth and replied, "Father promised that if I could help you reduce the war reparations against Austria and recover the occupied territory, he would pass the throne to me."

"Oh, so that's the reason." Xiao Jie felt relieved. In the face of huge power, maybe no one could block its temptation. Louise is a person with very powerful power, so it's not surprising that she would make such a choice.

"Do you look down on me very much?" Louise suddenly supported Xiao Jie's chest with her hands and looked up at him.

"How could it be? Everyone has different pursuits." Xiao Jie said lightly. He did not express any opinions on this. Anyway, in his opinion, the night stand between him and Louise can only be regarded as a deal.

Lying next to Xiao Jie, Louise whispered: "Even if I don't think about myself, I have to think about Francois. He is over teen now, but he has no status in Austria. It would be fine if I was there, what if I was gone? What should he do? If I become the queen of Austria, then he should be the next heir to the throne of Austria." Speaking of this, two crystal tears flowed out of Louise's eyes.

In an instant, Xiao Jie felt a little moved. Napoleon deposed him and passed the throne to Francois, but in the end, the throne was still in his hands. Xiao Jie was still a little guilty about Francois. Similarly, he was also moved by Louise now, which was probably the power of maternal love. He hugged Louise gently, and Xiao Jie whispered: "If there is anything I need help, I will send someone to Paris to tell me. As long as I am within my ability, I will help."

"Thank you!" Louise said gratefully. Then, the two of them rolled into a ball again. A passionate moan came from the room.

Louise stayed at Xiao Jie for a whole night and did not leave until the morning of the second day. After learning that Louise had not returned all night, Francis I was not worried at all, but was very happy because he knew that Louise had succeeded.

Watching Louise's carriage leave, Xiao Jie murmured: "Damn it, 200 million francs plus a large piece of territory, this night is so fucking expensive."

"Your Majesty, have a good night last night." A voice suddenly rang beside Xiao Jie. Xiao Jie turned around and saw that it was Grigoo who appeared behind him at some point, and Otov also stood beside him.

"Yes, it's very pleasant." Xiao Jie replied casually, feeling embarrassed without feeling any.

"It seems I should tell Angel about this?" Otov asked with a treacherous smile.

"It's up to you." Xiao Jie replied. Then he walked towards the room. I did physical work all night last night. How could I do if I didn't have a good rest?

"By the way, how much is your prostitution?" Otov asked. They had to negotiate with Austria and Russia this morning, so they naturally had to deduct the prostitution paid by Xiao Jie from the military compensation to Austria. Otherwise, the French emperor's prostitution "prostitute" was passed on, what would happen?

"Not much, 200 million francs, the territory south of Gassava River." Xiao Jie's voice came from the room.

Grigoo and Otov were stunned. Two hundred million francs? How much is it worth to add such a large area of ​​territory south of Sava River? It was spent in just one night. The two of them were ruthlessly scolded Xiao Jie as a prodigal son. At the same time, they were a little impressed that paying such a great price for just one night is definitely the most expensive "**Yi" ever. Of course, they can only talk about these in private. If it was spread, Xiao Jie would definitely not let them go. After all, Louise is still Xiao Jie's nominal aunt. Although he is not related by blood, he is also considered a **Yi.

"Louis, you are finally back, are you okay?" Francis I finally had a little conscience and had been waiting for Louise. When he saw Louise get off the carriage, he quickly said with concern.

"I am fine, my father, I'm just a little tired. Andresey promised to reduce the compensation of 200 million francs and return the territory south of the Savoy River to us. Sorry, my father, I've tried my best." Louise replied lightly.

"It's okay, you've done a great job. On behalf of Austria, I thank you for everything you did." Francis I said lovingly, touching Louise's head. "Okay, go down and rest. I'll deal with the rest. I promised you that I will accomplish it." Francis I assured Louise.

Louise nodded, then went back to rest. Only Francis I stood there with guilty eyes.

The peace talks on the morning of May 17 will proceed as usual.

After some bargaining, the French and Austrian sides finally reached a final agreement. That is, Austria compensated France with 600 million francs of military expenses and ceded land west of the Ens, south of the Danube, and north of the Kitzbühel Mountain to France in exchange for the end of the war.

After confirmation, neither side had any objections, so Prince Grigoo and Prince Von Metternich signed the peace agreement on behalf of France and Austria respectively. From then on, all hostile military operations on both sides stopped. After Austria paid the reparations, the French army began to evacuate from Austria.

"His Excellency Makovsky, you see that we have signed the peace treaty with Austria. Should we also sign the peace treaty between our two countries?" Grigoo asked with a smile.

"Not busy. I think our country's war reparations should be reduced a little. Since Austria's reparations have dropped by 200 million francs again, it is also worth it to drop by 100 million francs." Before Makovsky could speak, Nikola expressed strong dissatisfaction.

"His Excellency Nicholas, this is a matter between our country and Austria, and it has nothing to do with our two countries." Grigoo said coldly. He did not expect that the other party would engage in this matter again.

"Why is it okay? You do this to be unfair to our Russia," Nicholas shouted.

"I'm very sorry, this is what His Majesty the Emperor of our country. If the Grand Duke continues to persist, then we have nothing to say." Grigoo said coldly. Although Nicholas has a noble status, Grigoo does not seem to take him seriously. Due to the insistence of both sides, the negotiations fell into a deadlock again.

Today is the second day to the end of the peace talks. If France and Russia cannot reach a satisfactory agreement, then this peace talks will be broken.

The French side was very tough and refused to retreat at all. Nicholas also shouted that he was willing to pay the French 100 million francs at most, and no more francs would be possible.

The two sides were exhausted, while the Austrian side watched gloatingly. In the end, the Russian side could not hold on. After learning about this, Alexander personally handled the matter and sent the decision to Makovsky.

"His Majesty the Emperor of our country has a proposal. If your army can withdraw from Poland, we are willing to pay an additional 100 million francs of compensation." Makovsky said.

"This is impossible. Poland's value is far more than 100 million." Otov immediately refused. They would definitely not agree to this condition. Poland's various resources are very rich, and France's industry is developing very fast now. With Poland's resources to provide guarantees, France's strength can be increased a lot. The most important reason is that if Poland is lost, they will lose the base for attacking Russia, which will have a very serious impact on Xiao Jie's future plans.

The two sides argued again, and the importance of Poland was very important to both countries. However, France now has an absolute advantage because Poland is controlled by their four legions, and the peace treaty with Austria has been signed, and hundreds of thousands of troops in the south can also go north to support at any time, so they are not afraid of any threats and challenges from Russia.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that Russia finally compromised. After wasting countless saliva and a large number of brain cells, the two sides finally reached a consensus. That is, the French army's garrison in Poland must not exceed 200,000 troops, and within a range of 50 kilometers west of the border, they must not station troops. Russia will also draw the same range to form a "demilitarized zone", also called a "buffer zone". Russia paid France 200 million francs of war reparations, and the war between the two countries ended. After the representatives of the two sides signed the peace agreement, the peace agreement officially came into effect. The French army also began to retreat from Poland one after another, and finally only retained two legions, and the Russian army also withdrew from the "demilitarized zone".
