Nandaihe winds down among the green mountains and green trees, pouring into the blue sea in the east, and surrounding the estuary is a golden beach.

The sunset shines, and the sea breeze blows.

Ye Zhao and the matchmaker walked side by side on the beach, and several female guards in green were following him in the distance.

In midsummer, the beach is extremely cool, and the Daihe area is really a good place to relax in the summer.

Although the capital city gathers the top ethnic representatives of the vast areas of Eastern Europe and Turkey, they are all received by the foreign affairs department, so they naturally cannot see Ye Zhao.

In Warsaw, the Peace Conference entered the substantive negotiation stage two months ago. Representatives of more than thirty countries and nations participated in this global conference that truly discussed the future of the world in human history. A six-member committee composed of leaders of government leaders and foreign ministers of Germany and Austria led the entire Peace Conference process.

For this peace conference, China, Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire had different interests. Germany hoped to weaken Britain and France as much as possible and establish the absolute hegemony of the German nation in Europe; the Austro-Hungarian Empire hoped to gain rule in the Balkans and annex Serbia and other just-time countries; China hoped that its oriental system would never be disturbed and built a world order that could maintain a long-term peace.

Looking at the golden sunset in the distance, Ye Zhao smiled and said, "When I first met you, I was looking forward to today."

The matchmaker smiled and said, "I didn't expect it." Yes, when I just bumped into this unlucky playboy, how could I think of the present and today, how could I think of one day leading China to stand on the top of the world?

Ye Zhao sighed and said, "Even if he dies tomorrow, he will be in peace."

The matchmaker gently held Ye Zhao's hand and said nothing.

Ye Zhao suddenly smiled and said, "Hey, what are Li Hongzhang doing now? Are you still arguing with Bismarck?"

The Veranov Palace in Warsaw is known as the "Portuguese Palace of Versailles" and is an exquisite Baroque palace complex.

The Villanuf Palace is surrounded by a garden covering an area of ​​nearly 100 hectares. This large garden is divided into several areas, including orange orchards, French gardens, British gardens, and Chinese gardens with oriental charm.

Small bridges and flowing water, rockery, pavilions and terraces, and exquisite everywhere. The Chinese garden was rapidly expanded at the beginning of this year. The Poles obviously spent a lot of effort to win the favor of Chinese guests.

In the octagonal pavilion, Li Hongzhang was chatting with Bismarck. Several blond and blue-eyed Polish girls wore Chinese crimson cheongsam to show their oriental tea art.

Li Hongzhang waved his hand, and the maids immediately retreated.

Bismarck's face was extremely serious. It was not surprising that the Poles favored Chinese guests so much. Now the Poles are striving to use Warsaw and increase their prestige and achieve the best in the entire Poland. In this way, they must be supported by the Chinese.

After the Battle of Mozambique, the military power of the Eastern Empire was exaggerated to be extremely terrible. The ever-winning army was the world's largest Royal Navy in terms of scale and technology. There is no doubt that the allies of the Eastern today are the world's largest power, and their strength is much higher than other powerful countries.

Allies during the war now have some rivalry, and China's policy of encouraging Eastern European nations has made Berlin and Vienna very uneasy.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire's comprehensive territorial demand for the Balkans was strongly resisted by China.

Perhaps the only gratifying thing is that China fully supports the restriction of British and French military forces. Britain and France are required to hand over more than half of the ships, 1ooo heavy artillery, 3,000 locomotives with good performance, 100,000 cars, 2,000 trucks, etc.

In fact, compared with the war reparations that Britain and France need to compensate, such demands are only a fraction. Britain and France are required to pay 20 billion Chinese dollars to the three alliance countries, which is about 50,000 tons of gold.

However, how to distribute war reparations once again caused serious differences between the three alliance countries.

The Chinese hope that in the reparations between Britain and France, China will receive 50% and the remaining 50% will be distributed by Germany and Austro-Hungary. It was originally fair to distribute such a decisive role in the war. However, the problem is that China and Russia signed a peace treaty with Russia. The Kingdom of Russia and the Kingdom of Urals, which inherited the Russian regime, also needed to pay a large amount of military expenditure to China. Of course, China generously signed a fifty-year agreement to repay the debt period to help the regime it supported safely pass the transition period.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire, which once fought with Russia, not only did not receive any military compensation, but was even deprived of its qualification to participate in Sino-Russia peace talks.

Everything made Bismarck gradually feel that dealing with the Chinese was not a pleasant thing. Even if he faced Li Hongzhang now, it would be difficult for him to regain the friendship between the two.

Bismarck's eyes were bright, "You have changed a lot in China, but as an old friend of many years, I'm sorry, Prime Minister, your government is completely manipulated by your emperor. And I heard that it will be difficult for you to be re-elected in this election in your country because your emperor believes that your ability is insufficient, although in our Western eyes, it is your emperor who fears your ability."

Li Hongzhang smiled slightly and said, "Anyway, I hope that after returning to China from Warsaw, I will be greeted by the crowd, not tomatoes and eggs."

"Yes, dear Li, you are right, but if a peace treaty cannot satisfy allies, there will be problems in the future, in the foreseeable future, and in the end, you will be despised by your people, rather than your emperor who insists on instructing you to negotiate with your allies with the toughest attitude."

Bismarck tasted the coffee and continued: "This is an opportunity that you have never seen before. You can use this peace talk to show the world your courage and the will of the government you lead to to the people of your country. You will also make many friends. When you encounter difficulties in the country in the future, we will help you. You can lead your country to the path of enlightened democracy. According to your country, you will be brilliant in history books for thousands of years." After pausing, he said: "Although I admire your emperor very much, I have to say that he has made many mistakes in the view of European issues." Li Hongzhang frowned: "We are Eastern etiquette, our son does not say the father's fault, and the minister does not hear the king's fault. Besides, you are provoking our relationship and slandering. Prime Minister, you are too rude. For our conversation to continue, I hope you can take back what you just said."

Bismarck said: "Lee, I know you..."

Li Hongzhang waved his hand, interrupted him, and said, "I think that if this peace meeting cannot reach an agreement satisfactory to all parties, a war that will affect Europe may break out in the next twenty or thirty years. Then, Mr. Prime Minister and I are the sinners of history." After a pause, he said, "My emperor's sacred heart is kind and caring about the well-being of the world's creatures. If we only consider our interests, we can help our allies rule the entire Europe. In the future, disputes will break out and our country will be out of trouble. At that time, all European industrial countries will be damaged. Do the Prime Minister agree?"

In fact, the two prime ministers were verbally fighting, and the translator sitting beside him was sweating, especially the general translator from Beijing. He just heard that this old German dared to slander his monarch, and almost broke out on the spot. Due to foreign affairs discipline, he could barely suppress his anger.

After looking at the Chinese translator who had been glaring at him, Bismarck sighed and said, "Li, it seems that we have a long way to go to reach a consensus."

Li Hongzhang said calmly: "I have received a domestic telegram. If our country's request cannot be respected, we will withdraw from the Warsaw Peace Conference and withdraw from the negotiations on the Warsaw system."

Bismarck was stunned for a moment, stared at Li Hongzhang for a long time, and nodded silently.

In November 1885, after more than half a year of fierce debate, the Peace Treaty of the Allies and Participants against Britain and the Peace Treaty of the Allies and Participants against France was signed.

According to the two treaties, Britain and France paid a total of 18 billion Chinese dollars, of which 40% were compensated by China, 35% were compensated by Germany, 20% were compensated by Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the remaining 5% were compensated by the rest of the countries participating in the war. According to the prior agreement, many countries, including Poland, exempted the debts of Britain and France.

In fact, on the Western Front, Germany's war against the British and French coalition forces was extremely tragic, and the number of casualties of its soldiers was far higher than that of China, so it was reasonable to receive huge military compensation.

Alsace, the industrial zone of Lorraine, was forever aged to the German Empire, and reiterated this point at the subsequent conference of the League of Nations.

The British and French standing army shall not exceed 50,000, and the tonnage ratio of naval warships in Germany, France and the British shall not be less than 21:1.

At the same time, most of the British and French colonies in Africa were handed over to Germany, China and Austro-Hungary.

Most of China's claims are written into the adhesion clause, with the main intentions being:

There is absolute freedom of navigation in the oceans and waters outside the territorial waters of various countries, whether in peacetime or in wartime.

States should eliminate economic barriers to the best of their ability and establish equal terms of trade between all countries that agree to accept peace and coordinated peacekeeping.

.The claims of rights of each country on the colonies should be made free, enlightened and selfless.

The boundaries between Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire must be clearly determined according to national characteristics.

The future of self-determination of all ethnic groups in the Ottoman Empire.

The harsh conditions proposed by Germany, such as the inability of Britain and France to own navies, to manufacture submarines, to produce heavy machine guns, to produce and store chemical weapons, to develop aircraft technology, etc., were rejected by China.

If Germany proposed, it is almost unquestionable that World War II will not be long before it will arrive.

At the same time, the International Alliance was established later announced that because Britain and France were restricted, the forceful attack on Britain and France would be considered a trampling on the Warsaw peace system, and the States that signed the treaty had the right and obligation to take corresponding measures against countries that undermine the peace agreement.

Because the Chinese's tolerant and selfless propositions at the Warsaw Peace Conference formed a strange public opinion atmosphere after the Peace Conference. As the culprit who ultimately defeated Britain and France, China received applause in the media in London and Paris. In Europe and Africa, nations with highest demands regard the Chinese as friends, the Eastern Empire had an unprecedented huge reputation for the first time in front of the entire world.

The Warsaw Peace Conference also passed the Covenant of the League of Nations, and 39 countries signed the Covenant to become parties to the League of Nations.

In January of the following year, with the support of China, the United States, Britain and France were able to join the League of Nations and become official members of the League of Nations. The League of Nations headquarters moved to Warsaw, the capital of Poland, which had just been declared permanently neutral, and moved to the League of Nations headquarters office building funded by the Chinese.

In February, Emperor William I of Germany visited Beijing for the first time. After meeting with Emperor Germany, Ye Zhao visited the military officers group who were preparing to go to Germany for military exchanges with interest. In fact, they were graduates of the 31st class of the Artillery College of Jinling National Defense University.

When he returned to the Ganqing Palace, Ye Zhao was drunk and said to Rong'er with a smile: "Don't you say that the historian always urged me to hand in the answer?" He didn't care about Rong'er's explanation, "It's not urging you..." He waved his hand and asked Rong'er to bring paper and ink, write and write, "I've lived..." and suddenly he didn't know how to continue writing it.

Looking back at Rong'er, his beautiful wife who was supporting each other was no longer the childish face of the past. Ye Zhao sighed softly, slowly put down the wolf hair in his hand, and said, "Let's say it to future generations."

The main text is completed. The various changes in the post-war system and empire will be displayed by the outer chapter. The outer chapter will start tomorrow. Starting from 1920, the protagonist is still Ye Zhao, who has abdicated and become the Supreme Emperor of Xiaoyao. He is 86 years old, so he sweats first.
