Chapter 257: No agreement? Then I'll make you a defeated nation!
When the C-124 special plane of the Restoration Government landed at Tempelhof Airport, it received a warm welcome from the Hans government.
Since the two sides started military trade cooperation in the navy, army and air force, the relationship between the ancient country and Hans has become very close.
Moreover, this closeness is not only reflected in the military, but also in the economy.
Currently, Hans has more than 30,000 soldiers in the ancient country, scattered across multiple military bases.
There is a joint land and air training tactical base in the northern part of the ancient country.
Hans' armored troops and some pilots were trained here.
The training of the first batch is expected to be completed by October, after which the soldiers will return to Hans along with their equipment.
The reason for choosing this time point was also specially arranged by Jiang Hua.
Because at this time, the Montana-class battleship, the world's first ship, will be launched and put into service.
In order to bring battleships back into fashion and to once again trigger a naval arms race among countries.
Therefore, these two Montana-class and Iowa-class battleships must go to Xizhou to make their debut, and then turn to Citibank and return to the country from the Pacific.
This is equivalent to going around the world.
Jiang Hua believes that when the Montana-class battleship appears, it will definitely shock the whole world.
It is inevitable to set off a shipbuilding frenzy.
Even though they knew that aircraft carriers were the future, the battleships of the Restoration Army were there, forcing them to keep up.
Want to cut back on battleship construction to build aircraft carriers? No way.
Military cooperation has also driven economic cooperation.
For example, learning from the industrial experience accumulated by Hans and taking on some orders from Hans.
The main orders are concentrated in the manufacturing of automobile, aircraft and ship parts.
These three aspects are also what the ancient country is currently lacking.
Therefore, it is necessary to rely on orders from Hans to improve its own industrial chain.
In addition, the two parties also reached large-scale orders for tungsten powder, petroleum, non-ferrous metals, rare metals, etc.
In the field of oil alone, the two sides reached a cooperation of millions of tons.
Every year, the ancient country needs to provide Hans with at least one million tons of crude oil.
One million tons of crude oil is not a small amount in this day and age.
As several major wars broke out in Dongzhou, Tsarist Russia, as an oil-producing country, also intervened.
As a result, the international price of crude oil began to rise sharply, and has now risen to US$18 per ton.
This order alone was worth 1800 million US dollars, which is 4500 million Australian dollars.
This is not a small amount of money for a newly born ancient country.
At present, the ancient country's industry is still in the process of laying the foundation and domestic demand, so exports still mainly rely on various resources to complete the initial accumulation.
However, with the upgrading of the ancient country's industries, this situation will definitely be reversed in the future.
The hot sales of Parrot brand radios overseas are a good example.
More than 30 Parrot brand radios were exported in just one quarter and sold overseas.
.......
The person sent by Tsarist Russia was also their foreign minister, who also served as the Tsar's special envoy and was fully responsible for the negotiations.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, they fell into a fierce quarrel.
The condition proposed by the Restoration Army was that the country agreed to cede all the territories east of the Krasnoyarsk Krai to the ancient country.
The total compensation for the war losses was 27 billion oceans.
Calculated at a price of 1 rubles to 5.75 US dollar, the total amount is 62.1 billion rubles.
The compensation will be paid off over ten years, and interest will also be charged.
Last year, the Tsarist Russia's annual fiscal revenue was only 200 billion rubles.
In addition to compensation, the other thing is redemption.
There are now a total of 70 Russian prisoners in the hands of the ancient country, including the previous batch.
Some of the previous prisoners were still growing potatoes and developing mining areas in Siberia, while others were "tamed" by Yuri and joined the foreign legion.
To put it nicely, it is a foreign legion; to put it bluntly, it is a puppet army.
These foreign legions were also a sharp weapon that Jiang Hua prepared to use against Tsarist Russia.
Each of these 70 people received 100 yuan.
Calculated based on the exchange rate of 2.2 between the dollar and the ruble, the total amount is 1.54 million rubles.
The above three conditions are what He Yujie put forward at the beginning of the negotiations.
If these three conditions cannot be negotiated, then we will have no choice but to continue fighting.
But if the fighting continues, it will not be easy to stop, and it will cost a greater price.
In He Yujie's opinion, these three articles are nothing compared to the previous treaties signed between Tsarist Russia and the Northern Xinjiang court.
Now it's just a matter of getting back what was lost before.
But this was not the case from the perspective of Tsarist Russia.
This was an outrageous request, but the Russian envoy did not dare to walk away.
After all, it is easy for negotiations to break down. Just as He Yujie said, it will cost a greater price to restart negotiations.
After all, the initiative of this negotiation is completely in the hands of the Fusion Army.
It's because their army is not strong enough that they were beaten badly by the Fusion Army.
If we continue to be beaten, we might actually be beaten all the way to the Uler Mountains.
But even so, they would not agree to such harsh conditions.
So although the first negotiation did not break down, it ended in a bad mood.
When these conditions were presented to Tsar Nicholas III, they immediately aroused the lion's rage.
If he hadn't calmed down afterwards, the negotiations might have really broken down.
The second round of negotiations began three days later.
Tsarist Russia still firmly refused to agree to cede territory, but was willing to compensate for war losses.
But we cannot accept the war losses of 27 billion oceans, and the maximum compensation we can pay is 5 million oceans.
They fully accepted the redemption of people.
From the perspective of Tsarist Russia, this was already a very big concession.
He Yujie directly rejected the conditions they proposed.
"These two points are the basis for the success of this negotiation, especially the first one, on which we will never give in."
The Tsar's envoy immediately slammed his fist on the table, stood up angrily, and roared at He Yujie like an enraged lion: "We are not a defeated country! We will never accept such humiliating negotiation conditions!"
After hearing this, He Yujie's face turned cold. He slowly stood up and looked at the Tsar's envoy.
"Then we will make you a defeated nation!"
After saying this, He Yujie turned and left, and at the same time said to the officer beside him: "Announce this, the first round of negotiations has failed, let the army continue to advance!"
Although the sound was not very loud, it was loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly.
When the Tsar's envoy heard this, he trembled all over and suddenly became a little confused.
Obviously he hasn't gotten his identity right yet.
Although the Tsarist Russia was not a defeated country at the time, it was completely at a disadvantage militarily.
The front-line troops were sharpening their weapons and were not satisfied with the sudden ceasefire.
So after receiving the news to continue advancing, they all started howling again.
The iron torrent of the Renaissance Army started up again, advancing like a black tide.
Their target this time was Omsk.
If we attack here, we can threaten the Uler Mountains and the Tyumen oil-producing areas to the west, and threaten the five Central Plains countries to the south.
If Tsarist Russia still refuses to surrender, Jiang Hua believes there is no need to continue negotiations.
Krasnoyarsk is a long way from Omsk, a full 1500 kilometers.
This is not very friendly to the logistical support system of the Renaissance Army, and the battle line will be stretched out.
This is also the reason why Jiang Hua agreed to negotiate.
It is not impossible to reach the Uler Mountains, but the cost is far greater than the benefits.
A battle line that is too long means fragility. Once something goes wrong, the front-line troops will be in danger.
Don’t forget the five countries in Zhongzhou.
If you want to reach the Uler Mountains, you must attack Zhongzhou as well.
Otherwise, Tsarist Russia could easily threaten the flank from Zhongzhou and cut off the supply line.
If the situation continues to develop in this way, it will become a protracted national war.
The ancient country needs a peaceful environment for development and cannot afford to waste time.
In just five days, the Restoration Army advanced another 500 kilometers and captured the Kemerovo Oblast.
After this, the Tenth Army parted ways with the Far East and Ninth Armies and began to fight south.
Because to the south is the northwestern region of the ancient Mengyuan Province.
Once we reach here, we can connect the conquered territory with Mengyuan Province, which will also provide a second supply route.
Therefore, opening up this place is equivalent to opening up the second supply line.
The advancement speed of 100 kilometers per day once again forced Tsarist Russia back to the negotiating table.
But they were still reluctant to cede such a large area of territory and only agreed to make concessions on the amount of compensation.
It increased from 5 million oceans to 27 billion rubles.
That is, it increased from 5 million to 12.3 billion oceans.
There are indeed concessions, but if we don't give in on the first point, the negotiations cannot continue.
This also made it impossible for Tsarist Russia to give in. If it did, the spit of the Tsarist Russian people would drown Tsar Nicholas III.
In the end, the negotiations were suspended for nearly a week.
During this period, the top leaders of Tsarist Russia were also caught up in fierce quarrels.
The Tsar even claimed to be ill and left all the negotiation matters to the current cabinet, and went directly to the United States to "recuperate".
Nicholas III knew very well that if he did not pay a price this time, peace talks would probably fail.
If he, the Tsar, were to participate in the negotiations, his reign would be over.
Therefore, a scapegoat must be introduced to bear the public's anger.
"I went to the United States to recuperate. The armistice agreement was signed by the cabinet without authorization and has nothing to do with me."
All the responsibility can be shifted away in just one sentence.
The cabinet also understood what the Tsar meant.
So the second round of negotiations started again.
The negotiations between the ancient country and Tsarist Russia also attracted the attention of the world.
Everyone is curious whether the negotiations can go smoothly.
