Chapter 1191 Treaty
Austrian royal palace.
This place is already covered with imperial soldiers with live ammunition.
The Vienna Conference will be held here.
As soon as the sun rose, members of the Vienna Allied Powers came here early, and representatives of the defeated powers came.
Compared to the pride of the victorious country, the representatives of the victorious country seemed a little dejected.
At eight o'clock, Xiao Ming's convoy appeared outside the Austrian palace on time.
After getting off the car, Xiao Ming and the officials of the empire walked into the palace together, and members of other countries followed him to the negotiation conference room together.
At this time, the conference room was ready, and a table that was more than ten meters long was filled with fruits and desserts.
When entering the room, representatives of each country sat in their own position in order, and the defeated and victorious countries sat on both sides.
Everyone sat down, and at this time their eyes looked at Xiao Ming.
They all knew very well that the protagonist of this conference was the Imperial Emperor, and that the emperor's decision would affect the direction of Europe.
Xiao Ming noticed the gathering of everyone's eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. This time, both the victorious and the defeated countries sent almost all the highest leaders of the country. In this way, this meeting could solve the problem simply.
At this time, he signaled Tang Wenjie.
Tang Wenjie understood, and at this time he stood up and sent the documents he had prepared to delegates from various countries one by one, which were the main topics of the meeting.
After receiving the document, representatives of various countries couldn't wait to read it. The members of the victorious country were naturally delighted when they saw the contents of the document, while the representatives of the defeated country had a heavy face.
When everyone understood the document, Xiao Ming slowly said: "I believe you have seen the contents of the document, so I will not talk about it anymore. As a victorious country, we have the right to deal with the defeated country. As a defeated country, you need to compensate for your crimes."
After Xiao Ming finished speaking, thunderous applause suddenly echoed in the conference room.
The members of the Victory Country all smiled because Xiao Ming's words were domineering enough.
In fact, for them, the false words of benevolence, righteousness and morality are all false. Today, there is only one reason why they can sit here and face the defeated country with a proud attitude, that is, they defeated them through war.
If the Allies of St. Petersburg win, they will be the ones to be asked for compensation today.
The British representative who came to Vienna this time was Murphy. As he had guessed before, the emperor of the Eastern Empire was indeed a very tough person.
You must be careful when dealing with such a person. Meaningless anger will only anger the strong man, and the results will be extremely miserable.
So after Xiao Ming concisely explained his thoughts, he did not speak, but remained silent.
Other defeated countries have the same attitude. This time they finally learned to be smart. Through this war, they learned the gap between themselves and the empire.
This time they came, they didn't want to argue, but were prepared to be judged.
The only thing they hope is that the emperor can go out of the way.
Xiao Ming saw the expression of the representative of the defeated country. Just as he thought, the Allies of St. Petersburg were really defeated by the empire this time.
If so, this Vienna meeting would be simple.
At this time, he asked someone to spread a huge map of Europe on the conference table.
The representatives of the Victory Kingdom saw the map and stood up one by one, staring at the land they were asking for. The location of the land had been marked on this map.
The representatives of the defeated country looked at the map at the same time, and looked at the enclosed land and suddenly sighed.
But they were more surprised because they found that the ceded land was just a disputed land, and traditional territory in history was not divided, which made them confused.
"The land above is the land you need to ced to the victorious country. Do you have any opinions now?" Xiao Ming asked.
The representatives of the defeated countries shook their heads one after another. If they were destined to lose part of their territory, they would rather be this part of the disputed territory.
Xiao Ming nodded. He had communicated with the representatives of the victorious countries last night. It was not that the victorious countries only wanted this part of the disputed territory, but that he rejected the demands of other victorious countries to ask for more territory.
The reason is very simple. He did not want to weaken the traditional powers such as Britain and Europe rose again from other major powers. This is the empire's balanced policy in Europe.
If European members of the Allied Vienna no longer need the protection of the empire, then the Vienna Convention Organization would have no reason to exist.
Therefore, he could not kill all the defeated countries with one stick, and he wanted to leave only one breath and could save them at any time when they wanted to save them.
When he persuaded the victorious country, he did not want the conflict in Europe to continue to intensify.
Since the war has been fought, Austria and other countries do not want to continue to fight. After all, most of the supplies of the imperial army during the war were borne by them, and the war has also destroyed many of their cities.
It is precisely for this reason that they decided to stop at the right time.
If the defeated country has no objection, the defeated country will naturally be overjoyed.
They signed the documents to determine the ceased land.
The empire also had its own requirements for the land. They formally recognized the empire's occupation of colonies around the world.
And it was asked that Spain ced Gibraltar be the military port of the empire in Europe.
France, Britain, Prussia and Tsarist Russia ceded a port city as the location of the imperial garrison.
After the territory's negotiations ended, Xiao Ming immediately raised the issue of raising war compensation.
He demanded that the defeated country compensate the empire a total of 8 billion golden dragons and pay it back in installments within ten years.
With the demands of other victorious countries, the total compensation of the defeated countries reached 9.6 billion Golden Dragon.
This amount came out, and the defeated country was shocked. One golden dragon was 1.5 grams, and one hundred million golden dragons were equivalent to one hundred and fifty tons of gold.
Ninety-six billion golden dragons are equivalent to more than 10,000 tons of gold. Even if this amount is distributed to five countries, it is a heavy burden. They even doubt whether they can repay it.
But the judgment is ruthless, and it must be implemented whether they want to or not.
After the compensation matter, Xiao Ming explained the rest, demanding that the defeated countries not be able to produce and develop lethal offensive weapons, including tanks, aircraft, and warships.
Only self-defense forces can be retained within the country and no offensive troops shall be formed.
In terms of economy, he asked the defeated countries to open markets to the empire, allow the empire to open banks within its territory, and recognize the circulation role of the imperial dragon coins and recognize it as the world currency. In the future, international trade will use the imperial dragon coins as settlement currency.
Xiao Ming's decision is no longer aimed at the defeated countries, but at all countries.
