(Sorry, there is a delay, the update is late, everyone forgive me!)

Xiao Jie didn't want to waste his time on this boring negotiation anymore, so he left with the excuse that he had something to deal with. He handed over all the affairs here to Talleyrand. As a veteran in this field, Xiao Jie believed that he would handle it well.

In fact, the purpose of Claude's coming here is also very simple, that is, he wants to negotiate peace with France and end this war without any wins. Half a year of war has caused Prussia to lose too much. The soldiers were either killed or captured, most of the territory was occupied, and all kinds of resources were exhausted. Now, they can no longer survive. Prussia also made a request for peace talks to France before, but at that time France was attacking the troops of Russia and Britain landing in Europe with all its strength, so how could there be time to care about this almost destroyed country? Now that Prussia got France and was preparing for peace talks with Russia, so they came here immediately, hoping that by virtue of their ally relationship with Russia, they could take this ride and end this **** war as soon as possible.

"Your Excellency, Duke Talleyrand, this time, with the incomparable sincerity of our king, I hope to end the war and restore peace between the two countries. I hope you will not refuse." Claude put aside his usual arrogance and said humbly.

"Huh! Peace. When you declared war on our country, did you think of peace when you despicably launched an attack on our army? The war has only been going on for half a year now, and we still have enough strength to carry it out Go down." Talleyrand said proudly. Now that Britain has been kicked out of the European continent, and it is about to sign a peace treaty with Russia, won't it be easy to deal with a Prussia that has greatly weakened its strength? Directly transfer another legion to the past, and the last defense of the Prussians can be completely smashed.

There was raging anger in Claude's eyes. If the eyes were murderous, Talleyrand would have gone to see God long ago. When Prussia declared war on France, that was not the reason for Napoleon's repeated persecution. If there was no counterattack at that time, I am afraid that it will not be long before Prussia's situation will be worse than it is now. That's why Prussia took the risk to form an alliance with Britain and Russia, hoping to defeat France in one fell swoop with the strength of the three major powers, but the final result was very disappointing. It was completely defeated by France, the main force was completely annihilated, and the capital was also occupied. The king and important ministers of the country could only huddle in a small part of the north to support themselves. For all this, Claude can only endure. There is no other country in Europe except Britain across the strait that is France's opponent. With France's current strength, it is very easy to destroy Prussia. Although I don't know if the proud emperor had the guts to do this, but France's strong strength is there, and it was not provoked by Prussia.

"Your Excellency, the declaration of war against France is entirely due to the fact that His Majesty abroad was deceived by villains, so he started war against neighbors who are as friendly as your country. A war that should not have happened between the two countries, restore peace." Claude ignored Talleyrand's humiliation, and said in a low voice. But if you are careful, you can find that he endured it very hard, because the joints of his two hands turned white due to excessive force, and the nails were deeply sunken into the flesh.

"Since your country knows it's wrong, I think with the generosity of our emperor, we should be able to agree to your request. But I don't know what the final result will be." Talleyrand said proudly. As the foreign minister of France, he has only now deeply realized the comfort of being a foreign minister of a powerful country, especially a powerful country like France.

"Please be sure to tell His Majesty the Emperor of your country that our country is very sincere this time. Our king expressed his willingness to sign a permanent peace treaty with your country." Claude said very "sincerely".

Talleyrand has never believed in any treaties. For big countries like them, these so-called treaties are not much thicker than women's breasts. Pinning their hopes on the protection of treaties is simply a sign of a weak country. The greatest significance of the treaty is to be trampled by those powerful countries. In this chaotic era, it is common to tear up treaties. Anyway, history is written by the victors. As long as they can win, it doesn't matter what method is used.

"Well, after we accept the peace talks with Russia, I will arrange time to have peace talks with your country." Talleyrand said.

Claude showed embarrassment, and said: "Well, Your Excellency, I don't think there is any need to find another time. Since your country is about to negotiate with Russia, why can't you add our country? It won't save much trouble. Alright?" Claude said with a smile. He won't be fooled by Talleyrand. When you France and Russia sign a peace treaty, we will only be left with Prussia. Isn't that at your mercy?

"That's right, it's all peace talks anyway, so let's count Prussia, so why bother to find another time?" Makovsky, who had been silent all this time, also chimed in. Anyway, Russia and Prussia are still allies, and the two countries have basically encountered the same situation. Of course, we must help them at this time.

Claude cast a grateful look at Makovsky, and Makovsky smiled kindly. Everyone knew the meaning between them. The two countries are nothing more than trying to support each other in negotiations.

Similarly, the tricks between Claude and Makovsky certainly cannot be hidden from the old fox Talleyrand. But will France now fear a union between the two countries? the answer is negative. With a cold snort, Talleyrand said, "I have no right to decide this. I have to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before I can give you the answer. Excuse me first."

As soon as Talleyrand left, Claude and Makovsky immediately communicated cordially. The same experience of the two countries gave them many common topics. Within a few minutes, they clearly reached a secret agreement to form an offensive and defensive alliance in negotiations.

Talleyrand found Xiao Jie, explained to him Claude's intentions, Prussia's wish to join the formal negotiations a month later, and Kowski's attitude on this matter, and asked him to make a decision.

Of course, Xiao Jie knew what kind of wishful thinking Claude and Makovsky were playing. It was nothing more than wanting to unite during negotiations to ensure the interests of the two countries to the greatest extent. But are these useful? All conspiracies and tricks are futile in the face of absolute strength. So Xiao Jie agreed to Claude's request. Napoleon's task for Xiao Jie also included signing the final armistice treaty with Prussia, but in the treaty, it would hit Prussia's strength to the greatest extent and extort a large sum of money from Prussia's skills to treat the collapse of the war. of the French economy.

Although France is very powerful, Napoleon is not yet arrogant enough to let a big European country be wiped out. If you really do that, it will bring endless troubles to France, and it will also have a profound impact on Europe and the world. Napoleon doesn't know what the final result will be, but how can others sleep soundly in the couch? Having a powerful neighbor around always made Napoleon feel uneasy, so he took this opportunity to reduce the strength of Prussia, reducing him to a second-rate country in Europe, and then looking for opportunities to completely destroy this threat.

After getting Xiao Jie's consent, Claude was overjoyed, and hurriedly left, preparing to rush back to Prussia day and night, tell King Friedrich William III, and prepare to participate in the formal negotiation a month later.

Time flies, and a month has passed in a blink of an eye. During this month, the French army built a platform with an area of ​​100 square meters in the center of the river 50 kilometers away from Borisov on the lower Berezina River, and built a platform on it. A brief decoration was made to serve as the venue for this negotiation. Those who participate in the negotiations need to be reached by boat.

In order to avoid any disgraceful means used by France in the process of building the platform, Russian soldiers conducted a detailed inspection of the platform after it was built. Prussia is not eligible for this.

On May 23, the time for the final negotiation of the three countries arrived. As early as a few days ago, representatives of the three countries participating in the negotiations had arrived. On May 21, Talleyrand, Makovsky, and Claude represented the three countries before the last formal negotiation. It is mainly to arrange the process of the meeting and matters needing attention. However, the heads of the three countries: Crown Prince Andresi of France, Czar Alexander, and King Friedrich William III of Prussia did not meet. However, Claude and Makovsky are in contact at any time, needless to say they are also discussing some strategies against France.

As for the residence of the delegations of the three countries, it is free to choose. The location of the French delegation is opposite the platform used for the negotiations, on the west bank of the Berezina River. The residence of the Russian delegation is also directly opposite the platform ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ is located on the east bank of the Berezina River. The location chosen by the Prussian delegation was also on the west bank of the Berezina River, only 10 kilometers north of the French delegation. According to regulations, each national delegation can bring 500 soldiers to protect security, but this is very unfair to Prussia, because France and Russia are located within the respective control areas of the two countries, 50 kilometers behind the French delegation The place where the most elite 88th Army is stationed. Similarly, 50 kilometers behind the Russian delegation, there is also a Russian army of 40,000 people stationed. Prussia only had the 500 accompanying soldiers. To put it bluntly, their situation is very dangerous. If Xiao Jie wants to do something regardless of the influence, they will be unable to fly even if they have wings.

However, Prussia also understood this truth very well, so they chose the French side as their resident, and expressed their sincerity in negotiations to France in disguise. At the same time, I am very worried about their safety. After all, Friedrich William III was the king of Prussia, and if his life was threatened, it might have a huge impact on France. Just like the execution of the French king during the French Revolution made other European countries form the French Alliance to attack France. The influence of their royal families, which have been passed down for hundreds of years or even longer, in Europe is extremely far-reaching.
