Napoleon II Reborn

(The first chapter is here, there will be another chapter later!)

"Hmph! That kid Andresi is really hateful." Louis XVIII sat on the sofa with a face full of indignation. "Prime Minister of Liverpool, don't you just ignore it? His territory is within the range of the cannon. Isn't he too arrogant?" Louis XVIII gasped and said angrily.

The Earl of Liverpool smiled helplessly. Xiao Jie's words were a bit arrogant, but earlier, their British Empire also shouted the same slogan: All within the range of naval guns is the territory of the British Empire. At that time, the Royal Navy of the British Empire was invincible, but now, the Royal Navy has suffered a lot from Iberia. Since the Smith Fleet was defeated in Barcelona that year, in several confrontations, it all ended in the failure of the Royal Navy. "Your Majesty, I think you should bear it for a while. You also know that now Russia and Prussia want to end the war as soon as possible. Without their support, it would be very difficult for our country and Austria to defeat Iberia on land. Everyone knows , our country's advantage lies in the sea, not in the land." The earl of Liverpool persuaded.

"Sea? Do you think I'm a fool? The last few naval battles seem to have been defeated by the British navy." Louis XVIII scolded in his heart, but he didn't dare to express his thoughts, because the Bourbon royal family wanted If you want to restore, you must rely on the power of Britain. "But Your Excellency, Prime Minister, do you want that kid to occupy half of France for nothing?" Louis XVIII asked unwillingly.

"Of course not! Iberia is in the hands of the remnants of the Bonaparte family, and it is in the hands of a more dangerous remnant than Napoleon. I believe other countries will feel uneasy like us. The relationship between us and Iberia There will definitely be a war in the future, but not now. When the national power of all countries recovers, it will be the time when we declare war on Iberia again. At that time, the strength of all countries will not be enough to defeat a small Iberia? said the Earl of Liverpool with a smile.

Louis XVIII nodded helplessly. He had already talked about this point, and he also understood that they would compromise with Iberia. As for the future, it is difficult to say clearly.

In another room, Russian Emperor Alexander, Austrian Emperor Francis I and King Friedrich William III and their subordinates also started discussions. "Your Majesty Alexander, the tone of the Iberian side is very tough now. What should we do if they insist? It is impossible for everyone to drag on forever?" Austrian Emperor Francis I asked.

Alexander glanced at Francis I and Friedrich William III and knew what they were planning. He wanted him to put pressure on Britain and the Bourbon royal family to force them to agree to the conditions of Iberia. To be honest, this is what Alexander hoped for. Although Russia is a big country, its economic and industrial level is far inferior to other big European countries. The consumption of war has already caused Russia's national strength to be lost to a very terrible situation. The Turkish Empire and the Persian Empire also took advantage of Russia's great loss. ready to move. Therefore, Alexander is also eager to end the war in Europe as soon as possible and turn his strength to the East. "Do those two mean that we should compromise with Iberia?" Alexander asked lightly. His tone was very calm, without any trace of joy or anger.

Friedrich William III nodded first. Prussia was the most damaged country in the war among several big countries. Although he wished to tear Xiao Jie to pieces, he had to consider the national conditions of Prussia. So ending the war as soon as possible and leaving the matter of revenge to a later date became Friedrich William III's best choice now.

Emperor Francis I of Austria also agreed to compromise with Iberia. Although Austria lost less power in the war than other countries, why was he unwilling to retain as much of the country's strength as possible? Moreover, he can also take advantage of this rare opportunity to compete with Russia for the Balkan Peninsula. Now that Russia's strength has been greatly damaged, maybe Austria has the opportunity to completely drive Russia out of the Balkans this time.

"Alright then, since both of you agree, let's jointly put pressure on the British side during the peace talks in the afternoon." Alexander said with a smile. As for the other countries, they have no opinions at all, or even if they have opinions, someone will automatically filter those opinions out.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, the peace talks continued. A group of heads of state entered the conference room one after another, and Xiao Jie and the others were the last to speak. Ignoring the angry expressions of others, Xiao Jie and his party went straight to their seats and sat down carelessly.

The Earl of Liverpool coughed in embarrassment, and then said with a smile: "Now that everyone is here, the peace talks will continue, and the discussion will continue on Iberia's request for a truce."

The Iberian side still insists on the opinion of the morning, and there is no possibility of loosening it at all. After discussing with several other extremely important figures, the Earl of Liverpool finally compromised with Iberia on behalf of the Anti-French Alliance. After an agreement, France is bounded by the Loire River, the Morvan Mountains and the Saone River Valley, and the south is owned by Iberia. However, regarding Xiao Jie's request to divide half of France's overseas colonies into Iberia, the Anti-French Alliance raised strong opposition. Xiao Jie finally made a compromise and gave up his claim to the French colonies. Anyway, France does not have a navy now, and the Iberian navy is growing day by day. Before long, those colonies will also fall into his hands. Why should he be in such a hurry?

Since the two parties have reached a consensus, the next step is to sign a peace agreement. Under the preparation of the conference secretary, a peace treaty was quickly drafted. The representatives of the Anti-French League and Iberia also formally signed the peace treaty. At this moment, the peace treaty came into effect, and the territory of central and southern France officially belonged to Iberia, which has a sacred and inviolable status.

The issue of negotiations with Iberia was resolved, and the peace talks entered the second stage. The negotiations between the Anti-French Alliance and France, the winners of the war began to plunder the losers, and the highlight of the peace talks began. Originally, this has nothing to do with Iberia, Xiao Jie and the others can leave completely. But Xiao Jie insisted on staying.

Since Napoleon had been overthrown, it was the Bourbon royal family who negotiated with the Anti-French Alliance and assumed the responsibility for the war. This was also an important reason why the Anti-French Alliance supported the restoration of the Bourbon Dynasty.

Under the strong suppression of the anti-French alliance, Louis XVIII had no chance to resist, and was forced to sign a series of unequal treaties, including a series of shameful conditions such as land cession and compensation.

First of all, France's strength will withdraw from other parts of Europe from now on, and it will be strictly limited to France for preparation. Secondly, all the territories of other countries that Napoleon seized in previous wars must be returned. In addition, due to the huge losses of Prussia in this war, the two provinces in northern France, Alsace and Lorraine, were ceded to Prussia. Third, France will pay the anti-French alliance a huge military expenditure and war indemnity, totaling 1 billion francs, to be paid in 20 years. Fourth, in order to maintain the security of Europe, the Anti-French Alliance will deploy troops in France to prevent France from endangering the security of Europe again. This article is actually what Louis XVIII hoped most. Although it will affect France's sovereignty, it can protect France's security to a large extent. Especially when Iberia is staring at it, with the current situation of the Bourbon royal family, they have no strength to protect themselves. They have left the protection of the Anti-French Alliance. They can be sure that Iberia will definitely go north quickly and occupy Northern France.

After Louis XVIII signed the treaty, peace talks continued. It's just that the next thing to do is to negotiate the distribution of interests within the Anti-French Alliance, so neither the Bourbon royal family nor Iberia can participate. But immediately after the meeting, Xiao Jie got the materials of their peace talks and a copy of the treaty. It is said that the peace talks continued until late at night, and the conference room was noisy all the time. It is conceivable how intense their negotiations were.

"Russia has contributed the most in this war, so we want 400 million of the 10 francs indemnity, and the rest will be distributed by you." Alexander waved his hand~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and sent the indemnity to It took less than half.

"What? How can this work? Our Prussian losses in this war are the biggest, and we also need 400 million francs." Friedrich William III also refused to give in. The 1 billion francs are almost divided by the two countries in this way, and of course other countries will not agree.

"His Royal Highness Friedrich William III, you have already got Alsace and Lorraine, which is enough to compensate for your losses in the war. We Austria also paid a huge loss in the war, so we want 300 million francs in compensation." Francis I shouted loudly.

"Everyone, don't forget that the British Empire was responsible for half of the materials in this war. In addition, our army also suffered huge losses in the war. We don't need more, we need 300 million in the indemnity .” The Earl of Liverpool also said with a smile.

A few people were dumbfounded. If they had to follow their request, then 1 billion francs would not be enough, and since the treaty had already been signed, it was impossible to pay additional compensation to France. The only way is to suppress reparations from other countries to meet their own demands. As a result, several monarchs or prime ministers quarreled. The few countries that didn't have the Gu Rhine Alliance at all didn't get any share at all.
