C3235 mutual threat

Since ancient times, war reparations had never been a simple military expense reimbursement list. This was a humiliating fine with the function of severe punishment.

If you are a loser, then not only will you have to reimburse me for my military expenses, but you will also have to pay a hefty fine to let you know how severe the consequences of starting a war are.

I'm not easy to mess with. Don't think I'm easy to bully. If you want to use violence against me, you have to think about the consequences. Once you lose, you won't be able to bear the pain.

Military expenses, compensation for property losses, punitive fines... This was not enough, what was more important was the ransom of the captives!

Sedan and the Mace had surrendered a total of 300,000 French soldiers, and then, in the Maritime War in Eastern Frisia, although the final battle was fought by the Chinese and Prussian allied armies, the French navy general who had surrendered had placed his sword in Xiang Ying's hands.

In other words, the captives of the Maritime War in Eastern Frisia belonged to the Chinese race. Most of them were imprisoned in Wilhelm Military Port to work hard, and there were still 30,000 of them.

With about three hundred and fifty thousand prisoners of war in the hands of the enemy, what about the fate of these people?

Bismark looked coldly at Thiers: "Mr. President, please remember, if you are unable to solve this problem of the prisoners of war, then your governance base will not be stable!"

"Three hundred and fifty thousand prisoners of war, that is, three hundred and fifty thousand French families. You've offended these people, and you still want to be re-elected? Do you still want votes? "

Thiers's face paled, but he was unable to say a single word. He absolutely did not think that the enemy did not include the ransom for the prisoners of war, but had to calculate it on their own.

Trochu, Fa Fuer, how did you negotiate? This is simply a huge hole, the key point is not even touched upon by you, are you trying to make me take the blame?

In fact, they could not blame Trochu and Fa Fuer. The situation at that time was just that terrible, they did not even have the chance to bargain, fighting to a truce was already the limit of their abilities.

"You all … "How much do you all want …" Thiers felt as if his heart was bleeding just from saying those words.

Xiao Letian and Bismark looked at each other, then the leader dipped his finger in some tea and wrote a number on the table. When Thiers finished reading it, he immediately stood up, as if there was a spring under his butt.

"My God! You all are going to hell! "Impossible, absolutely impossible …" The President paced around the room like a cornered beast, his face pale with fright.

Not only the president, even the translator that he brought was dumbfounded. The pen in his hand was shaking non-stop, and the words written under the pen's tip were like a spider crawling.

Thiers's reaction was expected, Bismark and Xiao Letian quietly watched his performance without saying a word!

"You guys don't have the sincerity to negotiate at all. This amount of compensation will make the whole of France crumble. The National Assembly cannot agree to this.

"No President of France would dare agree to such a condition. You just want to keep the war going..."

"Then let's fight! Then let's keep fighting! France would not allow such blackmail … As long as I make this condition known to the public, it will arouse the common hatred of all the people of France, and all the The French people will give our all to fight you! "

"The war will not stop, your blackmail will absolutely not succeed!"

The hysterical President shouted for more than 10 minutes, but Bismark and Xiao Letian did not get angry at all. They just quietly watched him perform, and when the President was tired from his shouting, they leaned on the side of the window and panted heavily, then Bismark spoke again.

"Finished? So, I'm going to continue to talk about our terms... The compensation is exactly this figure, and it must not be changed.

"In order to punish the France for her acts of aggression, and to protect the border of Germany for the next hundred years … Alsace and Lorraine, two provinces, you have to cede them to Germany... "

"Also, your colony, Annan, please cede this to the Chinese. This is the condition to punish France …"

Bang! did not even finish his sentence as his fist smashed on the window, interrupting Prime Minister Iron-Blood from speaking.

"There's nothing to talk about! Even if you kill me, I will not agree to your conditions, because it is impossible! "I can only bid farewell regretfully …"

After saying that, the President walked out. At this time, Xiao Letian stood up with a grin on his face, "Wait, wait a little longer …" "Your Excellency, isn't this how the negotiations are like? Bargaining is interesting, why do you need to go against your word …"

"Bargain? He still had to have a bottom line! If I agree to such an astronomical number, and even want to cut down the land of my France, I will be the sinner of my entire history! "

Xiao Letian smiled mischievously, "Please forgive me for being blunt …" Mr. President... Do you care about the charges? "Before the war began, you secretly worked with Prussia and the Chinese to improve their relationship. How much did you get from us?"

"What about the 250 thousand francs lost in the Imperial Bank? What about the dead Henry? Don't you know how you got on the stage? "

"Power is truly a good thing. It can actually make people selectively forget about it, but the people aren't that forgetful. If you want to split it up, then please open this door. I definitely won't stop you …"

"If you still want to talk, then sit back down!"

Thiers sat down on the sofa weakly, like a deflated balloon. He was a little flustered, but this fellow was also formidable. The flustered was completely gone in a dozen seconds, replaced with absolute calmness.

"I didn't expect the Führer to be proficient in tribulation in the underworld. No wonder they were able to rise so quickly in Asia... "Admirable, admirable!"

"Alright, since the words have already been spoken, let's be honest then! I bet you don't dare to announce it to the outside world because destroying me would not benefit either of you! "

"I, Thiers, am left alone in this world, I can't die with this life, so what if I have to offer it up to the France, even if it means burying it in my body for a thousand years!"

"However, if all the conspiracies were exposed, the people of France would definitely be infuriated … Then, he would continue fighting! I want to see how long this war will continue! "

"I don't care, I don't believe that you don't care either!"

The negotiations had reached a point where they were able to threaten each other. Xiao Letian was overjoyed.

A barefooted person might not be afraid to wear shoes, but Thiers was a schemer too. If this was placed in the Beijing, he would probably be a bully too.
