In Berlin at the end of August, midsummer has passed, and the sweat-wrenching heat is quietly replaced by pleasant cool breeze. After a heavy rain, people vaguely see the figure of autumn.

At this time, the victory carnival had already ended, the city had returned to its former peace, and people were still working as before. With the end of the war, a large number of demobilized soldiers began to return to the country, and many of them had the greatest wish to go to the center of the empire to take a look. Therefore, there were soldiers in groups of three or three everywhere in the streets and alleys of Berlin. They had no rifles, bayonets or other deadly weapons on their bodies, and their faces were filled with cheerful expressions. War was undoubtedly far away from here.

In recent times, the most lively train station in the whole city is undoubtedly the train station. In addition to the army full of demobilized soldiers, there are almost every day to receive VIPs from all over the country. As soon as the Tsar and his wife got off the train, the Danish king took the train to the station, which was a mess that the officials in charge of the reception were busy. Gorgeous carriages walked between the train station and the palace, and people wearing distinctive clothes were strolling on the streets. This scene was once seen only when the emperor ascended the throne.

In Chentian's palace, the grass was green and the trees were lush and the branches and leaves were lush. All this just set off the beautiful ladies who came here from all directions. They walked back and forth in the crowd with their husbands, socializing, or gathered together to whisper about which handsome VIP, and cheerful laughter came from behind the small fan from time to time.

The heroes of the war - the German marshals and generals became the focus of everyone's attention. They were always surrounded by groups of admirers, and words of praise always surround them.

Among those wearing brand new marshal uniforms, the most eye-catching one is Marshal Carl von Bilo, who was recently promoted to the Minister of the Army. In fact, as early as when Alfred von Schlieffen retired in 1906, Bilo was also one of the popular candidates for the Chief of Staff of the Army. However, later Moltke won this position with his family reputation and good relations with the emperor. During the war, the influence and full strength of the Secretary of the Army may not be as great as the Chief of Staff, and the situation will be different in peacetime. At this time, those standing beside Marshal Bilo was heavyweights such as the Austrian Foreign Minister Leopold von Berchedord and the Russian Army Commander Marshal Ivanov.

Also promoted to the marshal of the Army were Paul von Hindenburg, Augustus von Mackenson, among which Marshal Hindenburg became the new chief of staff of the Army. Marshal Mackenson served as the commander of the Polish cluster and will also serve as the governor of Poland. In addition, the places where the promotion and commendation were Hermann, Von François infantry and Orger armored generals were also promoted. François will also serve as the supreme commander of the British army. As for Orger, since the imperial armored forces will undergo a new large-scale reorganization after the war, he will also be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Army Armored Forces.

On the side of the admiral, the new marshal's uniform was the father of Reinhartscher and the German Emperor, Prince Albert William Heidrich, and Prince Heidrich also became the first marshal of the German royal family with outstanding military achievements.

In the emerging Air Force Department, Yoonis von Zeket was promoted for commanding the air force to effectively cooperate with the army in the landing in Britain and later operations. He also became the first air general in German history.

Of course, not only German generals were outstanding on the battlefield. This time, he came to Berlin and the Grand Duke Friedrich, the commander of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Although he was defeated by the new Tsar's army, the white-haired old man was still the soul of the Austro-Hungarian coalition. His blue uniform was even as old as his beard. General Franz Conrad von Hetsendorf, General Franz, Chief of Staff of the Austrian Army, and one of the planners of the war. He also became an Austrian nation at this time.

Hero; Admiral Anton House, commander-in-chief of the Austro-Hungarian Navy, commander-in-chief of the Austro-Hungarian Navy. He is one of the important figures in the construction of the Austro-Hungarian Navy. He advocates the construction of first-class battleships and believes that the Imperial Navy should expand its power to areas outside the Mediterranean. General Enverpasha was called "Little Napoleon" by the Turks and one of Turkey's best army commanders. He has different political views from Kemal, but he is also a firm pro-German faction.

As usual, there are always people who disdain for compliment and flattery. Hindenburg and his new deputy, the First Military Chief of the Army (this position is equivalent to the Deputy Chief of Staff) Lieutenant General Rudendolf, stood next to an apple tree and whispered, Markensen, François, Orger, and Matthew, the four partners who had worked together for many years gathered in another corner away from the crowd.

From afar, Chen Tian saw the two generals standing under the apple tree. Perhaps they had chatted like this in another world. Rudendolph, a young man who Schliffen had admired back then, had grown up after practical training. His outstanding strategic vision, organizational ability and tactical skills were praised by William II and Moltke. Now, Paul Von Hindenburg, after working with him for a month, also gave a positive evaluation: he is an extremely outstanding and trustworthy assistant! In that world, Rudendolph planned most combat operations, but here, it may take him a long time to have the opportunity to perform because the war has left!

As for the "Four Heroes" of East Prussia, Chen Tian couldn't understand it much. Although they looked at their focused expressions and frowned and whispered, they seemed to be discussing what was important matters related to the rise and fall of the country. In fact, they were just unhappy to flatter each other like those nobles. When they got together, they were talking about nothing more than anecdotes of strange people encountered on the chariot!

"Ah...my dear brother, I'm so happy to see you again!"

From a distance, the Tsar stretched out his long arms, and seemed to be really happy to see his cousin. Beside him, all the Russian nobles were full of admiration.

As for Chen Tian, ​​he is not so disgusted with the Tsar himself now. The two hugged each other very cordially and then kissed each other on the cheek. To outsiders, the two monarchs had a close and stable relationship in private, just like their ancestors, but this relationship could not save the two countries from the war at all.

"Oh! Dear cousin, you look good recently!" Chen Tian was naturally not referring to Agreni, who had always been strong. Taking advantage of the German and British fighting to the death, the Tsar was not idle in his palace. He first served as the commander to command the encirclement and suppression of the revolutionary armed forces in the north, and then led his troops southward to wipe out the revolutionary parties hidden near Mongolia. After these two large-scale clearance operations, the Russian revolution suffered heavy losses. The main revolutionary leaders, including Stalin, either fled abroad or hid their names in remote areas. The Russian revolution fell into an unprecedented trough, which obviously made the Russian rulers who were almost subverted by the revolution happy.

"Your Majesty, congratulations to you and your country for achieving such a great victory! Look, you and your generals are all red, and their complexion is truly good!"

The one who speaks fluent German is naturally the Russian queen. Many people once questioned why Emperor Joseph wanted to marry an Austrian princess to a Russian nobleman. After all, Russia and Austria have always been incompatible, but it seems that the old emperor is quite visionary at this time. Now Linda has obviously become an important link in the relationship between Russia and Austria. This queen, who has always been unknown, has become active after Russia joined the Allies. Recently, she has frequently traveled between St. Petersburg and Vienna. The most surprising thing is that she and the current Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince Carl are half-siblings!

Chen Tian politely kissed Linda's back of her hand.

"His Majesty Queen, thank you for your appreciation! Without your national support, it would be very difficult or even impossible to win!"

"My country? Oh, Your Majesty, you are too modest! Your army is powerful and invincible, so I hope we can get some help from you in the future. What do you think? Dear Your Majesty!" Linda looked at the German master with a smile. She always praised him and his army actively. Almost all the words used to praise him.

Chen Tian heard too much about this kind of praise, and he was not happy at all. On the contrary, he felt that if a person always praised you, there might be a sharp knife hidden behind this person. At first, he felt that after the Russian government calmed the revolution, they would turn their attention to the Far East. Although the goal announced by the old Tsar Nicholas II was to give up, in the case of the German, Austrian and Russian alliance, Russia no longer had the possibility of expanding to Europe. Although the domestic economic and industrial industry would take a long time to recover, the polar bear was as aggressive as his rulers.

With the support of the German government, Russia is likely to fight again in the Far East and Japan. However, judging from the recent actions of the Russian government, Chen Tian found that the Russians did not really intend to act according to the route they designed for them. On the one hand, Russia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire quickly moved closer in politics, economy and even military terms, although they were silent. However, the depth and breadth were worrying; on the other hand, the Agreni government no longer had a tough attitude towards Japan on the Far East issue as it was before. In the past two months, St. Petersburg seemed to have conducted some kind of secret negotiations and transactions in Tokyo.

"That's of course, as long as our allies need it..." Chen Tian pretended to be proud, "Our army will do its best! Don't see that our army is restoring its non-war system, but our soldiers can fight ten on the battlefield, oh no, fight a hundred on one!"

The Tsar and the Queen laughed, with different meanings.

As announced by the German government, the German army will soon return to normal organization, of which 56 divisions will be stationed by about 800,000 people. Compared with the pre-war period, the overseas corps will be added, including 10-15 divisions stationed in France, 8-12 divisions stationed in Britain, and a small number of regular troops stationed in various overseas colonies. Once this decision was announced, almost all countries expressed warm welcome. It seemed that the German chariots were terrified by everyone.

As for the Navy, the German government and the Navy Department are planning an international conference attended by major naval countries, just like the Washington Navy Treaty in another world known to Chen Tian, ​​to reduce vicious military competition among countries through balanced forces.

After the Tsar, Chen Tian met with the heirs of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The old emperor Joseph seemed to be really ready to escape from the worldly disputes. Even such an important meeting was appointed to attend. After experiencing too much bereavement and complicated political affairs, people should be tired.

"Your Majesty, you and your army are really admirable! Such a great achievement is probably only a wise monarch like you!" Carl, who was so proud of his praise, did not mention the Gibraltar dispute between the two countries not long ago. After the war, the Austro-Hungarian Empire did not let most soldiers go back to their territory like Germany. More than 1.5 million Austrian and Hungarian soldiers remained in their own barracks, of which about 200,000 were stationed in northern Italy.

"Victory does not belong to our Germany only, don't forget. For decades, our two countries have been the closest allies. This great friendship has enabled us to defeat all enemies! His Royal Highness, please pay tribute to Emperor Joseph on my behalf!"

Chen Tian praised the friendship, but both sides knew very well that this friendship would not really last. The main reason for excluding Austria from the German Empire was the political environment at that time. Now, everything is different from the time of Bismarck.

"Yes. Praise our great friendship!"

Carl and Chen Tian, ​​the masters of the two powerful empires, raised their tight hands in front of the world. At this time, the fleet of equal strength on both sides was secretly competing against each other at the western end of the Mediterranean!

Among the heads of states attending the European Peace Conference, the most interesting thing is the new king of Britain Robert I. As we all know, there is another "British government" on the other side of the ocean! Robert I and Edward VIII, who is the orthodox British king? Although most countries have announced the recognition of Robert I, this is more or less related to the power of the German government. At this time, opposing Robert I means opposing Germany, at least no one in Europe dares to do so.

Most of the German Dukes and Generals gathered around Robert I were the grand dukes and generals. Here people had no need to avoid it. Rupresit, known as the most outstanding army commander in the German royal family, was still the hero in the minds of the Bavarians. In this bloody war, the Bavarian soldiers performed no less than the Prussians, and they also paid a considerable price - 170,000 Bavarian soldiers were sprinkled blood on the battlefield, most of whom were sacrificed on the French battlefield.

Back in Germany, Rupresit also had a different feeling in his heart. His love for Bavaria was far more than that of Britain, but he was flowing with the blood of the British royal family and inherited the so-called "James sent the British throne" from his mother. He was not happy in England, and the supporters were insignificant compared to opponents. He had enviable royal power, but had to face the demonstrations, riots and guerrillas all day long. The once extremely glorious British Royal Guard could be seen everywhere at this time.

Britain is in turmoil. The once prosperous city is now in ruins. The shipyards that once built one advanced ship after another have long disappeared. Excellent talents are either fleeing kings or being captured by the Germans, and the islands are dead. All this is irrelevant to most neutral countries. The Dutch no longer worry about their neutrality, because Germany does not have to use their path to attack France, nor will they seize their estuaries to monitor Britain; Norway

People regretted the failure of the British land, because they could not continue to gain war wealth from the British, and their focus at this time turned to calm the victors' anger at their smuggling of materials to Britain in the war; the Swedes obtained the guarantee of the Germans' intergovernment. The price was to continue to supply large amounts of iron ore at low prices; the French strongly protested the "democratic election" in the German war zone, and they were concerned about the "appearance of a second French government", and the life and death of their allies had nothing to do with them.

Of course, not all countries intend to stay out of the matter. The US government sent a special delegation headed by Secretary of State William Jennings Brian to attend the meeting, but their purpose here was by no means congratulating peace. In the British royal incident, the Wilson government neither announced the recognition of the Robert I regime nor supported Edward VIII, but maintained varying degrees of contact and contact with both regimes. The Americans' consistent neutral merchantism is undoubtedly revealed here - on the one hand, they still sold arms to the British government in exile in Canada, and on the other hand, they showed a positive attitude towards the reconstruction of the British mainland.

Japan, another powerful country in the Pacific region, naturally would not miss it. As a special envoy, attended by Foreign Minister Kato Gaoming, who was also a very important and powerful figure in the Japanese cabinet. Compared with the Americans' concerns about European reconstruction, the purpose of the Japanese this time was no different from the past. After Germany signed a secret agreement, the Japanese government declared war on Britain and then began a swagger invasion of the British Southeast Asian colonies. Singapore and Malaysia successively raised the plaster flag, but the Japanese government was not satisfied with this. They understood that if they wanted to become the overlord of the East Asia and the Pacific region, joining the allied system was a "necessary political background."

In such an atmosphere of thought, the European Peace Conference attended by 27 European countries was held as scheduled, and 11 non-European countries sent special envoys to witness this historic meeting. This was originally a meeting to divide the victory, but due to the special relationship between the new government of the defeated country, Britain and Germany, the process of the meeting surprised many people. There was no dejected loser at the conference table, Robert I, the new British monarch, who held his head up like a winner. The representatives of Germany and the British were conducting peace negotiations, not so much cooperation negotiations. The emotions of both sides were always relaxed and peaceful.

On the last day of August 1915, King Robert I of England signed the "German-British Peace Treaty" with the German government on behalf of the new British government, which officially declared the end of the war between the two countries. The treaty also stipulated that Britain would continue to exist as a country with independent sovereignty, but the constitution must be amended under the supervision of the German government. In the future, England, Scotland and Wales will have their own governments respectively. The British central government is only responsible for diplomatic and colonial affairs and will not exercise power over the economic and military of the autonomous governments.

In addition, the content of the treaty also includes:

Except for the prescribed number of Royal Guards and Police, Britain no longer retains any form of military armed forces;

Within 5 years, the German Army will station troops in the British mainland to assist the British government in maintaining public order. The number of troops stationed by the two governments will jointly discuss and decide. If the British security situation is good in five years, Germany will gradually reduce until all troops are withdrawn;

Within 20 years, the British Pascal Flo and Portland military ports were provided to the German Navy for free for use;

Except for police patrol and rescue ships with a displacement of less than 100 tons, all warships are handed over to the German government as a peaceful guarantee. The British government's plan to build warships in the future must be approved by the German government in advance, and no government or civilians shall build civilian ships with displacement of more than 10,000 tons or speed of more than 25 knots in the future;

All aircraft (including aircraft engines) will be handed over to the German government. In the future, neither the British government nor the civilian government shall manufacture and own aircraft. The aircraft and pilots required for official and private transportation will be provided by the German government;

The British government recognized the colonial areas occupied by Germany during the war, and in return, the German government would assist the British government in reclaiming the areas currently controlled by the old British government;

The British government should have paid £10 billion in war reparations, but given the historical friendly relations between the two governments, the war should be attributed entirely to George V and his government, so the German government issued a good faith exemption from the British government's reparations.

As the supreme ruler of Germany, the German Emperor signed this peace treaty on behalf of the German government, and declared war on Britain and did not directly send troops except Germany. Therefore, the signing of this treaty was only a testimony. In the end, the representatives of European countries only received the word "peace".

The day of the contract was later designated as European peace day, but on this day, demonstrations against the government's signing of the German-English Peace Treaty broke out in many areas of England and Scotland, and angry civilians in some places even had bloody conflicts with Robert I's Royal Guard.
