(Chapter to!)
Xiao Jie arrived in Paris on the afternoon of September 8. Among the many heads of state attending the meeting, he was the one closest to Paris and also the latest one. Even the Russian emperor Alexander, who was farthest from Paris, arrived in Paris on the morning of September 7, and held a banquet that night for the heads of state and ministers gathered in Paris. Xiao Jie was different from them, because generally speaking, the people who came to this negotiation were members of the Anti-French Alliance, in other words, they were all his enemies, and he didn't need to get close to them. His purpose is also very clear, that is, he hopes to paralyze the anti-French alliance through this peace talk. After the main force of their army withdraws from France, it will be time for the Iberian army to go north.
Xiao Jie chose the original Prince Joseph's Mansion as his residence during the peace talks. For this peace talk, he only brought Ike and Gregor, one representing the military and the other representing the government. As for the infantry regiment that followed Xiao Jie into Paris, one battalion was responsible for the security of the Prince's Mansion and its surroundings, one battalion was stationed at the South Gate of Paris, and the remaining battalion was deployed on the road between the South Gate and the Prince's Mansion. The tall buildings on both sides of the street have also become the fire points of the Iberian army's machine guns or the places where snipers ambush. Everything revolves around ensuring Xiao Jie's safety during this meeting. In fact, Xiao Jie's safety can be guaranteed. During the peace talks, according to the tradition at that time, no one would assassinate him. Especially for a head of state like him, everyone is more inclined to kill each other on the battlefield, rather than achieve their goals through shady means in private.
After two days of rest, no one came to visit Xiao Jie, and Xiao Jie would not go to those people to make connections. The two days were spent discussing the plan after the peace talks with Ike and Gregory.
At 9 o'clock in the morning on the 10th, Xiao Jie arrived at the Tuileries Palace under the **** of the guard company. The place for this peace talk was chosen as a small meeting room in the Tuileries Palace. The place where cabinet ministers are often called for meetings, Xiao Jie is still very familiar with this place, because before he went to Iberia, he often attended various meetings held by Napoleon here. The Anti-French Alliance chose this place as the venue for the peace talks, and it is not known whether it was intentional. "Let you be proud first, just wait, you will always look good at that time." Looking at those fat-headed monarchs and ministers, Xiao Jie thought bitterly in his heart.
Participating in this meeting was the anti-French alliance after the Iberian side, including Russian Emperor Alexander, Army Commander Kutuzov, Foreign Minister Makovsky, Austrian Emperor Francis I, Army Commander Archduke Charles, Foreign Minister Metternich, British Prime Minister Earl of Liverpool, Marquis of Wellington on behalf of the military, Lord Smeigley, Foreign Minister, King Friedrich William III of Prussia, Clausewitz, Chief of the General Staff of the Army, and Kremlin, Minister of Foreign Affairs Count Lauder, King, Commander-in-Chief and Foreign Minister of Bavaria, King, Commander-in-Chief and Foreign Minister of Saxony, King, Commander-in-Chief and Foreign Minister of Thuringia, the other members of the Rhine League were too small to be completely excluded. Xiao Jie was also surprised that besides the heads of state of these countries, there was also a fat man who brought Talleyrand (formerly Napoleon's foreign minister) and Marmont (formerly the head of the French 2nd Army) to the meeting. After listening to other people's introduction, I realized that the chubby fat man turned out to be the descendant of the Bourbon royal family, Louis XVIII. Then, it is obvious that Talleyrand and Marmont have defected to the Bourbon royal family and gained their importance, respectively in charge of diplomatic and military power.
Suddenly, Xiao Jie felt that someone was watching him, and when he looked up, it turned out that King Friedrich William III of Prussia was staring at him angrily. Xiao Jie was stunned instinctively, and then he found the reason. It seems that this old fat pig still remembers that he **** his wife in Borisov, Russia. Depend on! That was voluntary by your wife, so what does it matter to me? Xiao Jie couldn't help cursing in his heart. Not to mention, now that I think about it, I really feel that there is something special about it.
The meeting started under the chairmanship of the British Prime Minister, the Earl of Liverpool. Not to mention, this guy is really good at hosting, and a short speech aroused warm applause. However, this is not what everyone expected. Everyone gathered here today is here to distribute the fruits of victory in the war. Therefore, the Earl of Liverpool did not implement anything, and directly brought the discussion into the topic. According to the predetermined plan, the negotiations between the Anti-French Alliance and Iberia will start first, followed by the negotiations on the distribution of spoils within the Anti-French Alliance, and finally the restoration of the Bourbon dynasty.
Gregor first put forward the conditions on behalf of Iberia: "I believe you are also very clear that the central and southern parts of France, which are now divided by the Loire River, the Morvains and the upper reaches of the Saône, have all been in It is under the control of our army. Therefore, our country requests that through this peace talks, we will clarify our country's legal ownership of this part. In addition, France's overseas colonies must be allocated one-half to our country for free. As for the specific place, we can discuss it Decision." Without a word of nonsense, Gregor stated all of Iberia's demands.
"Impossible!" As soon as Gregor had finished speaking, Louis XVIII slapped the table and shouted. What a joke, if the central and southern parts of France are given to Iberia, then only northern France will be left after the restoration of the Bourbon dynasty. How can he mess around? But what he didn't know was that Xiao Jie had already made up his mind that even the North would not give it to this poor fat pig.
"This is a negotiation between us and the Anti-French Alliance. What right do you have to intervene here?" Xiao Jie looked at Louis XVIII in disgust and frowned.
"But don't you know that speaking in this place depends on strength? What right does he have to shout here." Xiao Jie continued, not giving the other party any face. After all, the Bourbon royal family can be regarded as the sworn enemy of the Bonaparte family. Although the Bourbon royal family was overthrown by those revolutionary parties, it had nothing to do with the Bonaparte family.
"You!" Louis XVIII blushed with anger. He has just returned to France, how can he have any strength at all? Does he still count on the anti-French alliance to help him restore? Seeing Xiao Jie and Louis XVIII's tit-for-tat confrontation at the beginning, other people couldn't help feeling a little worried, worried that Xiao Jie would insist on the restoration of the Bourbon royal family in the end.
"Your country alone occupies more than half of France, which is indeed too much. We still have so many countries waiting here?" Austrian Foreign Minister Metternich said. His words were supported by others, who accused Iberia of having too much appetite.
"Really? As far as I know, the whole of Central and Western Europe was under the control of France before the war. Now we only ask for such a small area, isn't it too much?" Gregio responded. As soon as his words were out of his mouth, many people were silent, especially the three members of the Rhine League, because before the war, their land was all under the control of France.
"How about this, with the Mark Plateau as the boundary, the hard part belongs to Iberia, what do you think, Your Highness?" Russian Emperor Alexander suggested. If divided in this way, then Iberia occupies almost half of the French territory.
"Hehe! Sounds good. But everyone seems to have forgotten where our army's current control line is, and why we have to retreat so much. The land within the range of our army's cannons is my Iberian territory. "Xiao Jie looked at the crowd and said. The meaning is very clear, that is, the area occupied by my army now belongs to me, and it is basically impossible for me to spit it out. He completely ignored the angry and gloomy faces of other heads of state because of his arrogant words.
"Your Highness means that we can only use force to determine the line of separation~www.mtlnovel.com~ King Friedrich William III of Prussia said with a gloomy face. He really wanted to kill the person who cuckolded him, but But knowing that he didn't have that strength, he had to rely on the power of the alliance to see if it was possible.
"Didn't you prove it last month? If you haven't been hurt, we can continue to accompany you." Eke said with an indifferent expression. Perhaps it is not easy to kill the 600,000 anti-French coalition forces, but it is easier for Dai to hold the line of defense from being breached by them.
"You." As soon as Eke's words came out, Kutuzov and others who had participated in the battle and fled in embarrassment stared at Eke with anger on their faces. If their eyes were killing people, I believe he has no bones left now. , but Eck didn't care about it.
Due to the persistence of the Iberian side, the peace talks have reached an impasse. No matter what the anti-French alliance says, the Iberian side strongly opposes it and insists on using the current line of control of the Iberian army as the boundary.
The whole morning was spent in the quarrel of everyone, and no agreement was reached. Then there is a 3 hour break. The members of the Anti-French Alliance all went to dinner together and discussed and talked, while Xiao Jie and others went directly back to their place of residence.
