Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III
Chapter 258
Thank you for the drizzle on a sunny day, 13750…for the reward!
“Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Minister, this is what the empire demands. If you can accept these conditions, it is the best. The war will end there. Peace will be restored to both of our countries. This is also the best for Gaul! Gustav Strezemann said.
“Your Excellency, such a condition is too harsh, and we will never accept it!” Reneviani said through gritted teeth.
“Your Excellency, Second Commander, you can first report this situation to your Grand Commander and other high-level officials. After that, we continue negotiations tomorrow! Gustav Strezemann knew very well that the conditions put forward by the Germanic Empire this time were indeed very harsh, and the Gallic state would definitely not accept them.
However, let the Gaul high-ranking know how much appetite the Germanic Empire had. It can be regarded as a psychological preparation for them.
Next, in the negotiations, it was possible to pay back the money at a sky-high price, and only then could more favorable conditions for the Germanic Empire be reached.
Reneviani nodded.
Subsequently, the negotiations were temporarily closed.
The entourage of the Gaul delegation telegraphed the conditions of the Germanic Empire back to Toulouse for consultation with the Grand Commander Raymondpuencaré and other cabinet ministers.
The Gallic Grand Commander Raymond Poincaré and other cabinet ministers had been waiting for news for a long time.
However, when they learned of the conditions proposed by the Germanic Empire, they were also shocked.
Although they had expected it before, the Germanic Empire would definitely blackmail them and slaughter them fiercely. But I didn’t expect that the conditions of the Germanic Empire would be so harsh, and this knife would be so cruel.
“Oh God! These Germans are crazy and can’t do it, and actually put forward such conditions? How could we possibly accept such conditions from them? Finance Minister Joseph Nuren exclaimed.
After all, this is a war reparation equivalent to twenty times the revenue of the Gallic state last year! It is definitely the largest war reparation in the history of mankind.
As long as the Gauls are not fools, it is impossible to accept such conditions.
“The Germans actually want us to cede to them the territory north of the Loire and Corsica. In that case, we would have lost more than half of our territory. As well as the vast majority of industry and most of the population. How can we possibly accept such conditions? Interior Minister Louis Malvey said.
“The colonies that the Germans wanted, although not too large in area, were our richest colonies. Their knife is really ruthless! Colonial Minister Maurice Reno said.
“The damned Germans actually want us to hand over all the capital ships, including the former dreadnoughts. Even the capital ships that are being built have to be handed over to them after they are built, which is simply too bullying. If we accept these conditions, then our Navy is completely finished! Minister of the Navy Armandoudeyer was even more livid.
Originally, the navy of the Gallic state was already not strong. If all the capital ships are handed over to the Germanic Empire, then they will be reduced to a third-rate navy!
“Gentlemen, the conditions put forward by the Germans this time are indeed very harsh. Even, it’s completely blackmailing us. However, the telegram sent back by the second commander has already made it very clear. If we do not accept these conditions, the Germans will continue the war. Will our army be able to withstand the attack of the Germans at that time? If you can’t resist it. Then I am afraid that we will be destroyed by the Germans. Raymond Poencaré said.
“Your Excellency, even if our homeland is destroyed, we can go to the overseas colonies and continue to fight the Germans. If the sun does not set and the Tsarist Russians can defeat the Germans, then we still have a chance! And cut off the braids, Armand Odeyer said.
“Can the Tsars and the Sunseters really be able to defeat the Germans? Do not forget that the expeditionary forces of the Sun Never Set were all abandoned by them and had already surrendered to the Germans. The Germans had already won a decisive victory, at least on the Western Front. Once they transferred the main army to the Eastern Front, the Russians would probably not be the opponents of the Germans.
Even if the navy of the Germanic Empire is still no match for the Royal Navy of the Sun Never Sets Empire. However, the Germanic peoples had at least managed to sweep across the continent. It is already inevitable that they will become the hegemon of the entire European continent! ”
Finance Minister Joseph Nuren said.
The other ministers also nodded their heads.
Everyone believes that after the Germans won the battlefield on the Western Front, the probability of winning this war was already very high.
Neither the sun sets nor the Tsarist Russians can count on it.
“If the Lighthouse Nation can enter the war, it may be able to defeat the Germans!” Interior Minister Louis Malvey said.
“Hmph! The lighthouse nation is nothing more than a villain who sees the wind and steers. When we were not at a disadvantage before, none of them expressed their position to join us in the war against the Germans. Now that the Germans have gained a decisive advantage, will they still be willing to go to war with the Germans? That’s simply impossible! Raymond Poencaré said.
“yes! Lighthouse country couldn’t be more realistic. If we had the upper hand, they would have joined the war without saying a word and started a war against the Germans! ”
“Counting on the Beacon Nation, that’s impossible.”
“Gentlemen, we can count on none of us now, but on our own. If we accept the Germanic conditions, we will indeed pay a huge price. But our country can continue to exist. If we do not accept the Germanic conditions. Then our country will be destroyed. In the future, the state of Gaul will cease to exist! Raymond Poencaré said.
Suddenly, all the high-ranking people of the Gallic Kingdom had a very serious expression, or in other words, a hint of ending.
Gaul is a country with a long history. And now, it’s their last minute.
As the high-ranking officials of the Gallic state, they naturally did not want the Gallic kingdom to be destroyed.
In that case, they will become slaves of the country!
“Your Excellency, what should we do?” Finances no longer Joseph Nuren asked.
The other ministers also looked at Raymond Poincaré.
