William II believed that this mediation could break up the Russian-French alliance, but Prime Minister Bilo knew much better than the emperor. It was almost impossible for Germany to pull Russia back. It would be better to focus on the alliance negotiations with East China **. Although this probability is not high, it is also more likely to pull it back to Russia.

However, if Germany does not serve as a mediator, there are naturally other countries that will do it. Mediation will also help improve Germany's international prestige and make up for the losses of the Moroccan crisis. In addition, William II did not place all his hopes on Lalong Russia. While mediating, he did not forget to negotiate with East China. It can be said that it was a preparation for both ways. Therefore, Biluo did not disturb the emperor's dream. Anyway, if he didn't say it himself, the facts would wake the emperor up.

It will take several months for the German visiting delegation to arrive in Qingdao, but Prince Heinrich can represent Germany and be responsible for the mediation work. Moreover, knowing that his wife and son will come to Qingdao to reunite with him, the prince is in a good mood. In the prince's heart, he also hopes that East China ** and Russia will stop the war, because Nicholas II is also the prince's cousin.

In fact, East China ** has been waiting for news of Russia's surrender. Of course, the Northeast Theater Command also formulated a combat plan for the second settlement plan to prevent Russia from still not surrendering and continued to maintain military pressure. After receiving the mediation intention conveyed by Germany, East China ** first expressed its gratitude to Germany and said that it could accept Germany's mediation, but also put forward the conditions, that is, Russia must accept compensation and cede land, which is the prerequisite for East China ** to agree to hold negotiations. Otherwise, East China ** will not be able to negotiate with Russia and will carry out the war to the end. The People's Army will not only capture Russia's Far East, but also expand westward with all its might.

Prince Heinrich certainly had no objection to this condition, because he knew Germany's position very well. Moreover, when Germany mediated East China ** and Japan, East China ** also made similar requests, so the conditions of East China ** were sent back to Germany truthfully.

However, after receiving so many telegrams from Prince Heinrich, William II was quite unhappy. He believed that East China ** had made such harsh demands on Russia, which was too disrespectful to Germany. Because William II believed that East China ** could win the Far East War, Germany also made a lot of efforts, allowing East China ** to issue bonds worth 30 million pounds in Germany, resolved the funds for the war, and mediated East China ** and Japan. Therefore, William II believed that his face was of great value.

In fact, when Germany mediated East China and Japan, William II took similar demands for East China and Japan. This is because in William II's eyes, Japan is insignificant. Germany's mediation was just to enhance its international reputation. As for what Japan thought, it was not something Germany considered. But Russia is different, not only because William II and Nicholas II were cousins, but in the eyes of the Germans, Russia is also a member of Europe, and the Slavic nation is also one of the many ethnic groups in Europe. It is naturally a different matter to be considered as one of its own people.

So William II found Prime Minister Biluo and negotiated and suggested to East China ** that in order to restore peace as soon as possible, he hoped that East China ** could hold negotiations with Russia without prerequisites.

Bi Luo knew very well that although Germany allowed East China to issue bonds worth 30 million pounds in Germany, this was not enough to make Germany's face so great that it could make East China ** give up asking for compensation from Russia, because it was not only Germany that allowed East China ** to issue bonds, the United States also allowed East China ** to issue bonds worth 30 million pounds; in addition, East China ** has always paid interest on the bonds, and Germany has also obtained it.

Zheng, therefore, the favor of the bond is not as great as William II imagined. As for mediating Japan, it is even less worthwhile. Germany simply puts a line from it and does not actually play a big role. Moreover, asking for compensation is originally the power of the winner. East China ** cannot have room for retreat on this point. If Germany rashly makes this request to East China **, it will only damage the relationship between Germany and East China **, and the result will be more than worth the loss.

However, Biluo also knew that these words could not be said directly to William II. It would only make the emperor feel dissatisfied with him. However, Biluo had rich political experience and soon thought of a solution to the countermeasures. He first suggested to the emperor that he should support the proposition of East China*. Seeing William II showing dissatisfaction, he immediately explained his reasons, because cedes land and compensation can weaken Russia's strength, and a weakened Russia is undoubtedly the most beneficial to Germany. Even if Germany eventually brought Russia back to the framework of the Three Emperors' Alliance, a weakened Russia is easily controlled by Germany.

After listening to the Prime Minister's explanation, William II couldn't help but shine. This was indeed a good suggestion. Of course, Germany needed an obedient Russia. To make Russia obedient, of course, it was necessary to weaken Russia first. So William II immediately gave up some relatives and national feelings. After all, national interests are the most important, and it seems that it is necessary to weaken Russia. So William II immediately conveyed the conditions proposed by East China ** to Russia.

After receiving this news, the Russians exploded. First, they asked Russia to accept compensation and negotiate the conditions for cede land. This was simply a straightforward humiliation. When did Russia accept such humiliation? The Slavic nation was not a Frenchman who only knew how to play art. When Napoleon occupied Moscow, Russia did not surrender, but eventually succeeded in counter-killing, which shook the foundation of the Napoleon Empire. It was really hateful that the yellow-skinned monkey dared to propose such insulting conditions to the fighting nation. Therefore, Russian ministers told Nicholas II that they would never accept such conditions and would still fight to the end with the East China **.

Of course, at this time, the Russian minister who advocated negotiations was not easy to directly oppose continuing the battle, but just threw out questions such as "How to fight this battle?" "Who is willing to go to the Far East to take over the battle behind?", but no one answered. After all, it is easy to talk, but if you really do practical things, few people can take over. This also annoyed the Tsar quite annoyed.

At this time, Army Minister Sakharov made a suggestion to Nicholas II that he could mobilize some troops from the European direction to the Far East. Now Russia still has about 600,000 troops in the European direction. If half of them can be drawn, that is, 300,000 troops will go to the Far East, it will be enough to fight another battle in the Far East and East China.

But Witt immediately asked the Secretary of the Army, what should I do if 300,000 troops were transferred to the Far East, then what should I do if the vacant European defense gap was released? How many auxiliary personnel were needed to be transferred to the Far East, how much materials were needed, how much transportation capacity was needed, and how many days would it take to complete this reinforcement task? And during this time, what should I do if the reinforcement army was defeated by the People's Army again?

In fact, Sakharov's suggestion was a whim. Because he was the Minister of the Army, he could not come up with an effective response plan. The Tsar's face was already very bad, so he came up with this idea and did not consider any details at all. Of course, he could not answer these questions of Vette.

But Nicholas II was very interested in this suggestion, so he ordered Sakharov to immediately study the details and come up with a feasible plan. He also pointed out that if 300,000 troops were not enough, 400,000 could be considered to be withdrawn, which would be 500,000 troops to reinforce the Far East. As for the gap in the direction of Europe, you can consider recruiting the reserve troops.

When Vite heard this, he was shocked. Did the Tsar want to do another global expedition on land? The last global expedition of the navy completely crippled the Russian navy. Now Russia relies on the more than 600,000 troops from Europe to maintain Russia's strength in the Balkans, Bosnia, Asia Minor and other places. Once this army is crippled by the People's Army, Russia will be completely finished.

But Witt also knew that it was impossible to persuade at this time. The consequence of the persuasion would definitely be the dismissal of the Tsar. Now Witt's position is a cabinet minister, not the original minister of the Finance Department, and he is still reluctant to leave his current position.

But on the next day, Witt was not worried, because France learned that Russia had already refused to negotiate with the East China ** and was formulating a new combat plan, and planned to transfer the troops arranged in Europe to the Far East to fight, so it immediately stopped because France did not need such allies, and the conditions proposed by the East China ** seem to be nothing. You should know that in this war, France compensated 1.5 billion francs to the East China **, and Britain ceded 1/4 of Kalimantan Island to the East China **. Both Britain and France were able to accept the gambling and cede land from the East China **. Why can't it be done when it comes to Russia? Don't look at how the Russian army fought in this Far East War, and still held an airs.

Originally, France planned to send a final spy to Russia. If Russia insisted on launching another war, France would decide to temporarily freeze the Russian-French alliance. However, after careful discussion, it decided to be more tactful. After all, if Russia is forced too tight at this time, it may really push Russia to Germany. In that case, France would be more rewarding. Therefore, France finally decided to propose to Russia that France does not want to interfere in Russia's internal affairs and the resolutions of the country. However, the funds provided by France to Russia are used to maintain Russia's economic operation and social livelihood, rather than for war. If Russia wants to launch a new war, it must prepare funds separately, but the funds provided by France are not allowed to use.
