Chapter 453: All or nothing

Chapter 453: Desperate

"Miss Xenia, what is your country's opinion?" Igor asked.

Xenia's face darkened: "During this war, our country suffered a great loss. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians lost their lives in the war. A large number of cities and villages were also destroyed because of the war. Now, the entire In the Kingdom of Russia, only Orenburg is still under our control. But outside the city of Orenburg, there are still more than 100,000 French troops watching. In our country, there are only less than 80,000 soldiers who lack equipment and have low morale. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for us to resist the attack of the French army. In addition, we now lack all supplies including weapons, ammunition and food, and people are starved to death almost every day. Therefore, Your Majesty The war can be ended as soon as possible."

Both Alexei and Igor were taken aback. The situation that Xenia said also existed in their two countries. It's just that the situation is slightly better than that of the Kingdom of Russia. From Xenia's words, they also understood what she meant. Now, it is simply impossible for the three Eastern European countries to change the situation on the battlefield in a short period of time. And if the Kingdom of Russia wants to end the war as soon as possible, there is only one way to attack France again and ask for their forgiveness.

"It's impossible. If we sneak attack, then we will never have another chance. Would you like to see our compatriots enslaved by the French for generations? No, we must fight to the end." Alexey said .

"Fight to the end? It sounds good. What can we use to resist the wolf-like French army?" Igor gave Alexei a white look. Although he admired Alexei's democratic spirit, but at this time of life and death, he would rather give up the so-called righteousness for his life.

"We can hold on with our solid walls, and thousands of Russians will support us. The French only have the upper hand for a while. As long as we can hold out for two or three months. Western Europe believes that the decisive battle between the United States and France It will start soon. At that time, we will still have a chance to rise again. We will even completely defeat France and reproduce the glory of Russia, just like in 1813." Alexey said with longing. "Even if it doesn't work, we can persist until the arrival of winter. Don't forget, winter is the umbrella of our Russians. As long as winter comes, our strength can be replenished. The French will be defeated by the cold winter." crushed."

"Even if the Americans will really fight the French, do you think the French will let us wait for that day? Don't say two or three months, we can't hold it even for a month." Xenia said.

"Alexey is, it is summer now, and winter is still months away. Unless you can move God to make it winter at once. Otherwise, we may never see winter again. "Igor said with a sneer.

"Cowards, you are all cowards. Don't you still want to live the life of being enslaved by the French? Even if the last soldier dies, our country will never surrender to the French." Alex Saiman Said with a righteous face. That way, exactly like a nationalist fighter.

However, those present are all very shrewd people. It's not that the senior officials of the Russian Federation don't want to imagine France surrendering, but they don't think France will accept their surrender. You must know that this time the three Eastern European countries opposed France's rule in Eastern Europe, and a large part of it was because they contributed to it. And France will definitely not let them go, so for the sake of their own interests, they will never surrender like France anyway.

The Russian Democratic Republic and the Kingdom of Russia are different. At best they can only be regarded as accomplices. As long as you surrender to France, at most you will pay some war reparations to France, and at most you will lose some national interests. But their rule has a good chance of being preserved. Therefore, the two countries advocated surrendering to France and ending the war as soon as possible.

"Do you think that as long as you surrender, you will be fine? You must know that the emperor of France hates traitors very much. I am sure that even if you surrender, you will definitely die a miserable death. At most, France will not embarrass your subjects. Just with family." Alexey said with a sneer.

Igor and Xenia did not say anything. The two countries have secretly reached an agreement, even if the Russian Federation is forced to surrender to France with them, then their weight will be much greater, and the French may also give them a lighter punishment for this. However, from what Alexei said today, they can know that their purpose is about to fail. The Russian Federation has decided to fight France to the death.

The meeting ended badly. The three of them quickly returned to their residences, and quickly transmitted what happened and the opinions of all parties back to their own countries. The leaders of the three countries also made a detailed analysis based on the information they obtained, and then guided their next steps. A large number of radio waves are transmitted over Eastern Europe.

In addition, the Russian Democratic Republic and the Kingdom of Russia secretly sent a telegram to France in which they shifted all responsibility for the war to the Kingdom of the Russian Federation and begged France to forgive them. For this, they are willing to pay all the price including territory, reparations and troops.

However, Paris only gave them two options. One is the unconditional surrender to France. The second is to fight France to the end. If they surrender, the ruling classes of the two countries will be guaranteed their lives, but their property must be confiscated by France, and their power will also be taken back by France. But if it is determined to continue the war, then France cannot guarantee anything.

On the conditions proposed by France, urgent consultations were held between the Russian Democratic Republic and the Kingdom of Russia. However, they believe that the conditions proposed by France are too harsh. Harsh unacceptable. For them in high positions, money and power are the most important things. Without these two things, what is the point of living?

Therefore, in the end they decided to stand with the Russian Federation and fight the best decisive battle with France. If you win, even though this hope is very slim. However, they will get more things, and the wealth and power will be completely theirs. But if they fail, they can also escape quickly. As long as they are not caught by France, then they can be a rich man with peace of mind, which is far better than surrendering to France.

After unifying their opinions, the three Eastern European countries acted quickly. On the one hand, they strengthened the construction of defense facilities. On the other hand, actively contact the United States, Canada, and the Kalmar Alliance, which is in a slightly better situation than them, in the hope that they can send troops to France in time and provide them with some support.

"The Russian Democratic Republic and the Kingdom of Russia have rejected our terms." In the Tuileries Palace, French Foreign Minister Gregor reported to Xiao Jie.

"Oh, it's nothing. This is completely within my expectation." Xiao Jie said disapprovingly. It was at his behest that he proposed such harsh conditions to the Russian Democratic Republic and the Kingdom of Russia. The war has reached this point, and even a fool can see that the two countries have become the end of their battles. It is precisely because of this that Xiao Jie wants to solve the problems in Eastern Europe. If the rule of those people in Eastern Europe cannot be overthrown, it is inevitable that after a few years or a few years, these people will not betray France again. Moreover, Xiao Jie also intends to use the fate of the three countries in Eastern Europe to deter other countries, to act as a warning to other French dependent countries. Therefore, the fate of the three countries in Eastern Europe was already doomed.

If those rulers can sensibly hand over their power and wealth, Xiao Jie can still let them live. If they still insist on fighting to the end, then I’m sorry, these people will all go to the gallows~lightnovelpub.net~ My lord, if we allow them to keep their property, I believe they will agree to surrender. ’ suggested Gregory.

"This won't work. Their property was gathered by exploiting civilians in Eastern Europe. After the war, Eastern Europe needs to be built, which requires a lot of money. And we also spent a lot of materials during the war, which also need to be compensated. So , their wealth must be nationalized." Xiao Jie said solemnly.

Gregor said no more. This war consumed a lot of French national strength. In order to save the economy that is about to collapse and prepare for future wars, France must obtain large sums of money from the three Eastern European countries. And those ordinary civilians have long been impoverished, so France can only start with the ruling class. In addition, even if France suddenly relaxes the conditions now, the three Eastern European countries may not accept France's good intentions. Maybe they think that France is showing weakness to them, which has completely the opposite effect. This is extremely detrimental to France's future strategy.

Now that the three Eastern European countries have decided to put all their eggs in one basket and fight France to the end, France is naturally not to be outdone. Xiao Jie personally sent electricity to several troops on the front line, asking them to start the final battle against the three Eastern European countries immediately. Only by getting rid of the remaining forces of the three Eastern European countries as soon as possible can France be able to get a foot out of the quagmire of war.
