Chapter 340
The peace negotiations between the Third Reich and the Gauls came to a quick end, and a peace agreement was quickly signed, which shocked countries around the world.
However, neither the Third Reich nor the Gallic Kingdom mentioned the content of the peace agreement, which made all countries eager to find out the relevant content.
Intelligence agents from various countries are all-pervasive. This was especially true for Vichy Gaul.
They quickly obtained the relevant contents of the peace agreement, and then they realized how much benefits the Third Reich had obtained from the Gauls. When the contents of this peace agreement were announced, it shocked the whole world.
The peace agreement stipulated that the Third Reich occupied all the territory of Gaul north of the Loire River. And within fifty kilometers of the western coastal area, it was also the occupied area of the Third Reich. Gaul paid war reparations of 1.5 trillion marks to the Third Reich. The military power of the Gallic State was restricted. The army controlled less than 100,000 people. The navy was not allowed to possess large surface warships except three Dunkirk-class battleships and four Guba-class battleships. It was not allowed to form an air force.
Such conditions are undoubtedly very harsh.
However, the Gauls agreed immediately. It can be seen that the Gauls have been beaten to the point of losing their temper.
After the peace negotiations between the Third Reich and the Gallic State ended, the peace talks had to continue.
The Third Reich's allies, the Kingdom of Caesar and the Kingdom of France, also participated in the war against Gaul. Even if they only joined in at the last moment, trying to take advantage of the situation.
However, after all, we are allies, and the Third Reich is now full of food, so naturally it has to give them a sip of soup. Otherwise, how can we bring the other allies back?
"The Kingdom of Caesar has made a huge contribution in this war, and we hope to get the benefits it deserves. The Gallic Kingdom wants to cede Corsica, Marseilles, Toulon and Nice to us. In addition, the country of Gaul wants to compensate us for war reparations of 200 billion francs!"Ciano, the Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Caesar, spoke loudly.
Marshal Pétain's face was very ugly. The Gaul Kingdom had been severely pressed to the ground and rubbed by the Third Reich.
However, there is no way around it. Who can What if the Third Reich was strong and they were no rival?
But the Kingdom of Caesar was different. Although the Kingdom of Caesar mobilized millions of troops to invade the Gallic Kingdom, they were defeated by a newly formed army group of the Gallic Kingdom. They were beaten hard, and they didn't get any advantage at all. Instead, they suffered heavy losses. Under such circumstances, they actually had the nerve to extort benefits from Gaul. It was simply shameless.
"We cannot accept such conditions!"Marshal Pétain refused directly.
"What? Marshal, you can think about it carefully. If your country does not accept it, the war will continue. The army of the great Kingdom of Caesar will conquer Gaul."Ciano was very dissatisfied
"Does the Kingdom of Caesar have this ability?"Peitain looked disdainful.
Even though the current Gaul Kingdom has suffered heavy losses, they still have three, 1.2 million people. If there is a fight, the Kingdom of Caesar will definitely not occupy even half of it, and maybe it will be overthrown. The Lu Kingdom gave him a severe beating.
Marshal Pétain's attitude immediately made Ciano's speech stagnant. Of course he knew what was going on with the combat effectiveness of the Kingdom of Caesar's army. This time, the war between the Kingdom of Caesar and the Kingdom of Gaul Among them, if it weren’t for the fact that the Third Reich had already paralyzed the country of Gaul, they really wouldn’t have had the courage!
Ciano had to look to Ribbentrop for help.
No matter what, the Third Reich was Caesar Allies of the kingdom!
At this juncture, it is natural to help Caesar’s kingdom speak out.
"The conditions in Caesar's Kingdom are indeed too harsh. Let's do this, cede Corsica to the Kingdom of Caesar! As for war reparations and the like, just give me a billion francs!" Ribbentrop said
"What?"Ciano's face suddenly became ugly. In his opinion, the Third Reich should stand on their side unconditionally! But now, the Third Reich's actions are simply like sending beggars away. This makes Ciano felt extremely insulted. In other words, he simply ignored them. Of course,
Ciano also knew that the performance of the Caesar Kingdom's army was indeed a little too incompetent. It is no wonder that they are looked down upon.
"Your Excellency, this is the best result! Ribbentrop said.
The Third Reich can be regarded as a blow to the Kingdom of Caesar. If the Kingdom of Caesar performs better, or is more obedient, then the Third Reich does not mind giving them more benefits.
Anyway, these The benefits do not come from the Third Reich. Naturally, the Third Reich would not feel bad about doing this kind of generosity to others.
But the problem is that the Caesar Kingdom obviously does not have such strength, but it has been unable to do it. A realistic dream. Even for a time, I wanted to compete with the Third Reich for leadership in the Iron Alliance. Isn’t this asking for death? The senior officials of the Third Reich generally believed that the Kingdom of Caesar was just a great power, but In fact, there is simply no strength that a big country should have. Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that it will not be respected.
After listening to Ribbentrop's words, Ciano couldn't help but feel nervous.
He knew that the third The empire is expressing its dissatisfaction with the Kingdom of Caesar.
The strength of the Third Reich is naturally much stronger than that of the Kingdom of Caesar. Especially the performance of the Third Reich in the blitzkrieg war in Western Europe has made everyone in the Kingdom of Caesar Everyone was shocked. This made the Caesar Kingdom have no bargaining power in front of the Third Reich.
"Well, Your Excellency, we accept this condition!"Ciano quickly corrected his position.
He knew very well that without this ability, they would not be able to dream about more things. Otherwise, not only would they not get any benefit, but they would also have to pay a huge amount of money. The cost is huge.
As for the Gallic Kingdom, there will naturally be no objections.
Corsica is just a piece of cake for the Gallic Kingdom.
Next, the negotiations between the Gallic Kingdom and the Franchi Kingdom will be It was much smoother. Alsare, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, was very smart and directly consulted the Third Reich.
Subsequently, after negotiation, the Gallic State ceded the Perpignan region to the Kingdom of France and made a request to the Kingdom of France. The war compensation of 500 million francs was negotiated. This made the Franconian Kingdom very satisfied._Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection, recommendation,
