Chapter 654 Never agree (seeking monthly ticket)

Theophile Delcasse looked at von Kidren Wachter with a horrified expression, in addition to being terrified, there was disbelief in his eyes. He never imagined that the Germans would propose such conditions! The previous two conditions, whether it is the war reparations of 55 billion marks or the transfer of all overseas colonies, are already harsh enough.

But that pales in comparison to the Germans' demands that France cede to them the territory north of the Loire and Corsica. The territory of France is not very large. If the territory north of the Loire River is ceded, it is tantamount to losing half of the territory. What's more, the territory of northern and central France can be regarded as the most industrially developed place. If those territories are lost, France will be completely over, and will become a weak industrial country from a world-class industrial power.

Such France can no longer be regarded as a world-class power, but can only be regarded as a small third-rate country. At that time, France can only rely on the breath of the Germans to survive, let alone seek revenge from the Germans. After losing the most prosperous and developed north-central, France has no capital to seek revenge from the Germans.

Théophile Delcase understood now that from the very beginning Germany had never intended to spare France. The idea they have always made is to weaken France as much as possible so that France no longer poses a threat to Germany.

From the point of view of the Germans, in order to safeguard their own interests and status, it is right to do so. However, from the perspective of the French, such harsh conditions are unacceptable. If such conditions are accepted, France will be no different from subjugation.

"Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, isn't this condition too harsh? You directly claim half of France's territory, or the most prosperous and developed half. Even Paris, the capital of the French Republic, is included. After losing those territories, France Is it still France? The German Empire simply wants to drive us to extinction!" Théophile Delcase looked sad and indignant.

"Your Excellency, you should know that the German Empire is capable of destroying France. As long as our army continues to advance southward, it will take up to a month to capture all of France's territory. At that time, you still have Is there a choice? I’m afraid we can only let us kill it! Now, the empire can leave half of France’s territory, which is already forgiving you.” Wacht said.

"Huh! Your Excellency, you are doing this to extort more war reparations from the French Republic and to ensure that those colonies can be transferred to you smoothly! If the French government goes into exile and continues to resist, you will not get it One franc of war reparations, overseas colonies, will not be so easy to get." Théophile Delcase said.

Vachite nodded: "Indeed, we have considerations in this regard. However, if France is willing to accept our conditions and would rather go into exile overseas, then we have no other choice but to dispatch troops to occupy the entire territory of France." .As for those war reparations, although we can't get them, it doesn't matter. We can collect wealth wantonly in France. I believe that the wealth we will get will exceed 55 billion marks by then. As for those overseas We can also send troops to capture the colonies. The German Empire has the most powerful army and navy in the world, and I believe that it will not be a problem to take all those colonies if it takes a little time."

"If you wantonly seize wealth in France, it will arouse the anger of the people. At that time, you will encounter unprecedented resistance!" Théophile Delcase said through gritted teeth.

"It doesn't matter. We are very experienced in dealing with resistance. If you are willing to surrender and be a good citizen, it is naturally the best. If you don't want to, then kill them all. Even the blood killed in France We don't care if it turns into a river. Anyway, the dead are all French!" Wahit said nonchalantly.

"Bastard! Are you going to kill all the French?" Théophile Delcase raged.

"We won't kill them all, at most one or two million people. When I think of all the French people, they will be as cute as rabbits." Wachter said.

"Devil! You are all devils. If you kill innocent people like this, God will send you to hell!" Theophile Delcase was very angry. What is the difference between the way the Germans do it and the devil?

"Okay, Your Excellency Minister, it's useless not to mention these things. Will your country agree to the third condition of the empire?" Wahit asked.

"No, never! The French Republic will never agree to such a condition. What is the difference between that and subjugation? In that case, the French Republic would rather fight to the end." Théophile Delcase said firmly.

Vachite nodded: "Very well, I understand what you mean. Then, from now on, our negotiations have broken down. I will report to His Majesty the Emperor. The Imperial Army will continue to attack until France is completely until death."

Théophile Delcase was stunned. If the German army really continued to attack, France would not be able to resist it anyway. The weak French army has been terrified. There is simply no courage to continue fighting the powerful German army. If the war continues, there will only be one result, and that is the destruction of France.

As Wachter said, after France is destroyed, Germany can still get everything they want. It's just that it takes a little more time. However, France has since ceased to exist.

This is undoubtedly unacceptable to Théophile Delcase and other senior officials of the French government. Even if France loses half of its territory, it can continue to exist. In that case, it seems to be better than being destroyed!

"Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, I have no right to agree to your country's conditions. I will report to the country. However, I think the possibility of the French government agreeing is very small." Théophile Del Casse said.

Sensing the change in Théophile del Casse's attitude, Vachter could not help feeling a little proud.

"Minister, I believe that your government will have smart people. They will definitely make the right choice!" Wahit said.
