Chapter 655 Compromise or perish (1700 votes plus update)

"The fourth condition is that the military power of France must be restricted. The total strength of the army cannot exceed 100,000, and it must not be equipped with artillery with a caliber of more than 100 millimeters, tanks and armored vehicles, etc. The navy must not build ships with a displacement greater than five Thousand-ton warships are not allowed to have submarines, aircraft carriers, and aircraft. The number of police and other Chinese troops must not exceed 100,000. Your Excellency, we are doing this for the peace of the whole of Europe. I hope the French government can understand .” Von Kidren Wachter once again put forward a condition.

As a defeated country, it is very necessary to limit France's military power. In this case, France's threat to Germany will be minimized. France, with only one hundred thousand troops, will no longer pose any threat to Germany. The French army, without heavy weapons and tanks, could easily be defeated by Germany.

Although, this condition is also relatively harsh. However, Theophile Delcase surprisingly didn't respond. Perhaps, now he is completely numb! From the very beginning, the conditions put forward by the Germans have been harsher and harsher, and it is clear that France will be slaughtered wantonly as a defeated country. Of course, the current France is indeed a defeated country. The Germans want to slaughter them like this, and they have nothing to do.

"Your Excellency, is Germany deliberately trying to weaken France's military power because it is afraid that France will take revenge? Afraid that we will defeat Germany in the future?" Theophile Delcase asked.

Vashite nodded: "Indeed, of course the empire will worry about this. The empire won the war, won the war, and became the hegemony of the world. All of these are hard-won. Therefore, the empire needs to make the most efforts to ensure that The position of the empire is secure. To this end, we will use all methods available!"

"Okay, Your Excellency, Minister. I will report to the country about this condition in Germany. This is also not something I can decide." Théophile Del Casse said.

Although, Théophile Delcase is the plenipotentiary representative of the French government, participating in the peace talks this time. However, the conditions put forward by Germany are really too harsh. It was so harsh that he had no way to accept it on behalf of France. Therefore, after he learned of these conditions, he could only report to the country, kick the ball to the senior officials in the country, and let them make the decision. In this case, he would not have to bear the responsibility.

Vachite nodded. He didn't think the French had the guts to refuse these conditions. After all, a refusal would mean the breakdown of the negotiations and the German offensive would resume. However, the French army was powerless in the face of the German attack.

"Your Excellency, what other conditions does your country have, please bring them up together." Théophile Delcasse said.

"In addition to the above four conditions, there is only one more condition. That is, before France fulfills the above four conditions, the German Empire must garrison troops in France until all the conditions are fulfilled. The number of garrison troops, temporarily It is set at 100,000 people. When France fulfills those conditions, our troops will withdraw from France." Wahit said.

Theophile Delcase nodded, he knew that the Germans were afraid that the French would renege on their debts. At the same time, stationing troops in France is also a threat to France, making France dare not act rashly. After all, once the total strength of the French Army is limited to 100,000, the 100,000 German troops stationed in France can undoubtedly destroy France at any time. Before fulfilling those conditions, France has nothing to do with Germany, it can only act on the face of the Germans.

"Your Excellency, if the French government can agree to the first four conditions of your country, I think the fifth condition is not a problem. If the French government cannot agree to the first four conditions, then the fifth condition is not necessary at all. ’ said Théophile Delcase.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Minister. Next, it depends on how your government chooses. War and peace, everything is decided by your government!" Wahit said.

"Okay, Your Excellency, Minister, I will hurry up and report to the country immediately. Regardless of whether we accept these conditions proposed by Germany, we will restore them to Germany as soon as possible." Théophile Del Casse said.

"This couldn't be better. I hope that the French government can agree to these conditions, then the war can stop. Peace will come to the earth." Wahit said.

Theophile Delcasse nodded, left without saying anything.

After leaving the German Foreign Office and getting into the car, Théophile Delcase's face became ugly. He never imagined that the Germans would come up with such harsh conditions. Even before they came to Germany, they expected that Germany would not let France go easily. However, the conditions put forward by France are still far beyond their imagination.

If he could, Théophile Delcase would immediately reject these conditions and leave Germany without looking back.

But, unfortunately, he was unable to do so. The Germans have made it very clear that if France does not agree to these conditions, then the German offensive will continue. The powerful German army will directly destroy France, and then collect wealth in France, press down and resist, and blood will flow into rivers.

There is no doubt that this is a German threat to France. If you don't accept the conditions, you will be destroyed. This is undoubtedly a problem for the French government.

After returning to the place where he was staying, Théophile Delcase immediately sent a telegram to the country, reporting the conditions proposed by the German side and the threats from the Germans. Let the country prepare early.

Théophile Delcase knew well that once the conditions proposed by the French were known to the people in the country, what kind of uproar would it cause. As for whether the French government would agree to the terms of the Germans, Théophile Delcase didn't know. However, he believes that the possibility of agreeing is relatively high. Although the conditions of the Germans are very harsh, but if these conditions are agreed, France can continue to exist. Otherwise, France will be destroyed.

Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Bocelli made an urgent appointment with Theophile Delcase to learn about the content of the negotiations. However, this was strictly rejected by Theophile Delcase. This made Paul Sedley yell at the French for dishonesty. However, Theophile Delcase was determined not to disclose the content of the negotiation, which left Paul Sedley with no other choice but to curse a few words to vent his anger.
