I object!" Crown Prince William of Prussia stood up directly, and during this negotiation, he spoke on behalf of Prussia.

Prussia must have opposed it, because if the pre-war Sem Parliament was qualified to be a representative, the number of parliamentary representatives in their hands was far lower than that controlled by Russia, then the elected speaker would definitely be beneficial to Russia.

Myschkov was not surprised to have objected to Prussia, but he was surprised by the Prussian attitude, his voice was very high, but he was not angry at all, and seemed to be just a routine objection. Considering the relationship between Prussia and the empire, Myschkov had to be alert.

Li Su asked, "Duke of Myschkov, where are you?"

Menshkov asked: "A part of the pre-war Tham Parliamentary Members joined the so-called Ukrainian Federation. What should these people do?"

"Their right to vote will be cancelled, after all, one person cannot represent two countries." Li Su replied directly, looking at William Little: "His Royal Highness, your country's opinion on this."

"We support this." William Xiao smiled.

Mensekov knocked on the table: "You don't support the first one, and agree to the second one, it doesn't make sense at all."

William smiled and said, "Duke, as long as you give a good reason, we support it. Prussia recognizes power and truth. The power of your country cannot impress us. If we have truth, we must bow our heads."

Myschkov nodded slightly. He understood the attitude of Prussia. Prussia opposed it, but it was not firmly opposed it. The so-called opposition was to gain some benefits.

Fortunately, there are only three belligerent countries such as Sweden, Prussia, and Russia, and the mediation country, which is a closed-door meeting and can conduct transactions under the table. So Myōkov immediately asked what the so-called truth was in Prussia.

The two of them were very verbal and finally reached an agreement. Prussia supported the requirements for the Polish representative qualifications proposed by the empire. However, one thing is that the speaker elected by the Polish Parliament was only recognized by the participating countries to have the power to represent Poland. However, the speaker did not participate in the negotiations. He only needed to sign the armistice treaty after the negotiations were successful.

The Prussian side knew that he was unpopular in Poland and that his prestige was also damaged when all the kings he supported were captured. He would never win the election of the Sum parliament, unless the empire fully supported the Sum parliament supported by the Prussians. But the problem was that this would completely lose its fairness and the peace talks might be suspended.

In fact, Russia can also accept such terms. Although they stand in the same trench with most of the Polish nobles, their interests are not consistent. Now Russia is eager to end the war, and it will definitely be a bad thing for those Poles to participate.

Seeing that everyone reached an agreement on this issue, Li Su said: "Then discuss the second issue, the Ukrainian Federation. In this talks, the Ukrainian Federation should participate in the negotiations as a sovereign state. I wonder what your representatives have to say."

The representatives of Sweden and Prussia both nodded in support, and they wanted to have an extra ally. Mensekov asked directly: "I would like to ask His Highness Rong two questions."

"Please tell me, Duke."

Mensekov asked: "The first question is, as a sovereign state, has the recognition of the Ukrainian Federation been made by Britain, the Netherlands, France and Austria?

The second question, assuming Russia supports this principle, is it equivalent to recognizing the current territory of the Ukrainian Federation?”

Li Su waved his hand and asked the servants to add water to his teacup. In fact, this was a concealing his inner panic. The reason was that Ukraine had not yet been recognized by those four countries. These four countries hoped to be in line with Russia and Poland on the issue of whether to recognize the Ukrainian Federation. After all, the territory of the Ukrainian Federation comes from these two countries. Only when they recognize it will the four countries be able to recognize it.

Of course, now Poland is so terrible, the Four Kingdoms do not consider Poland, but they must maintain the same attitude as Russia. It is not that Myschkov is not unaware of this, he is just using the Four Kingdoms to put pressure on the empire.

The second problem is a small trap arranged by Li Su. Poland's attitude is irrelevant now. If Russia wants to recognize it, it is necessary to solve the problem that part of Ukrainian territory belonged to Russia before the war.

Now it was directly broken by Mykov, and Li Su didn't know what to say for a moment. After thinking about it, Li Su still told the truth: "The four countries you mentioned have not recognized the Ukrainian Federation. The reason why they have not yet recognized it lies in the second problem, the territory of the Ukrainian Federation has not been resolved.

This talks are related to the issues of the armistice and the Ukrainian Federation, so the two issues of recognition of this country and the establishment of territory are resolved together. The Ukrainian Federation recognized by Russia must be recognized by everyone. But if Russia is not prepared to recognize the Ukrainian Federation, then this peace talks will be meaningless."

"If the territory is determined first and the Ukrainian Federation is recognized, then Russia has no objection," said Myōkov.

Seeing that he had this attitude, Li Su lit a cigarette directly: "Then there is no need to continue talking. Maybe we can wait a little longer, you can hit it again, until you can wake up."

"We have no objection, Prussia is willing to stay with you to the end," said William Little.

Sweden representative Rein Strad also said: "Sweden has the same position as its allies."

Obviously Sweden is very dissatisfied with the current situation and they hope for a better negotiation position.

"Okay, then I'll arrange for your representatives' next itinerary. The weather is too cold now, so I suggest more city activities." Li Su directly put aside the issue of ending the peace talks in Myshinkov. The first meeting ended like this. Even if Myshinkov wanted to discuss it again, Li Su ignored it.

As night came, representatives of the four countries gathered at the Russian Consulate in Xijin to hold talks with Myschkov.

The British and Dutch representatives were both consuls in Xizin, Lord Bety and Barrow. France was of high standards this time and directly sent a new generation of Duke of Orleans to come. Austria also sent a duke, but the problem was that he had just ended the war with France, and the duke was unwilling to work with the Duke of Orleans and was out of place among the representatives of the four countries, so he has not come now.

"You shouldn't be so tough today. Your Excellency Duke, that Your Highness Rong is not as patient as Your Highness Yu." Dutch representative Barro said to Myschkov.

Mensekov said helplessly: "I thought this could be negotiated, but who knew he was so tough. What I am worried about now is that the peace talks will end like this?"

"It shouldn't be." Lord Betty said.

The Duke of Orleans shook his head: "It's better not."

Several people were very worried because they only discovered that the empire had mobilized war after they came to Xijin. If the peace talks really ended, then the empire might end next year, and no one could save Russia.

"I don't think it's enough to have reached that level. If China wants to participate in the war, it will participate after the defeat of the Battle of Vasa. There is no need to wait until now, and they still have sincerity to mediate."

"But the problem is that today is very unpleasant, and on behalf of Russia and His Majesty the Tsar, I cannot surrender to this glorious prince of China." Myōkov said that he was very anxious because the order given to him by the Tsar was to promote peace. On the crucial southern territorial issue, the Tsar did not say that he would not give in, but only demanded that he gain as much benefit as possible for Russia.

Russia has been unable to fight for several years, not to mention that the war has revived, it may face the strongest country in the world.

Balrow said: "Everyone, maybe we can learn about the Chinese prince. We should have a more vivid thinking. As for the dignity issue that Myschkov is worried about, if today is just a misunderstanding, then no one's dignity will be lost."

Myschkov really had no way to ask: "Please tell me the details."

Barro took the initiative to ask: "Duke, is Russia acceptable to this situation that Russia recognizes Ukraine as a sovereign state, but has a dispute with Ukraine on its territory. That is to say, it does not recognize the original Russian land obtained by Ukraine."

Myschkov nodded: "Yes, Russia can do this."

"Then there is no problem. You just need to raise this and both sides can be called by misunderstandings. In fact, Li Su just wants all countries to recognize the Ukrainian Federation first." Ballow said.

Seeing that Ballow had made a good suggestion, completely covering up his limelight, the Duke of Orleans said: "I think there is no problem in admitting this country, and the territory that does not recognize exists in dispute. When the difficulties are overcome, I will find a way later.

But according to the situation that the Duke just informed us, I have a feeling that China, Pudong, Switzerland and Ukraine had already discussed it in advance and then cooperated with each other in the talks. Today, Poland has lost the qualification to enter the negotiation seat, and our countries are not belligerents. If we do not do some work in advance, when the formal negotiations begin, Russia will deal with the four countries alone, which is not good. Therefore, we must discuss in advance and establish our bottom line.

What do you think?"

"I support your suggestion, but the Austrian messenger is not here," said Lord Betty.

The Duke of Orleans said: "I don't think he is needed anymore. The Austrians do not have a formal attitude. Their attitude is extreme and changeable. At first, they do not recognize the Ukrainian Federation, but later they hope that the Ukrainian Federation will form an alliance with them to deal with the Ottoman Empire. But now they are dissatisfied with the Little Ukrainian region and demand control of Russia to enter the Balkans. It is really a bit mentally chaotic. With the Austrians involved, we can do nothing."

"Then we can work now. If we encounter a place where we really cannot avoid the Austrian envoy, we will invite him to join." Balrow said.

The Duke of Orleans nodded: "Okay, the first step is that we need to share information. I have a few friends who have come into contact with people from Rongwangxing Camp. They gave some information, hoping it will be useful for this discussion."

"Please say." Mysicov immediately showed friendship.

The Duke of Orleans said: "The first is the Ukrainian Federation. They want to establish a country on the territory they are now occupied and be recognized by various countries. However, President Mazepa would propose to expand the territory northward and possess all the lands where the Ukrainians gather, which is mainly aimed at Russia. But I think this is a means of negotiation. Their legal basis is that generations of Russian tsars have given Ukrainians autonomous territory, and these territories should belong to Ukraine."

"As you said, this is a means of negotiation. We can do not insist that they return the territory immediately and regard the occupied Russian territory as disputed areas, but we will never allow any more Russian land, even if it is a piece of slap in the face." said Myschkov.

"We support your attitude." After the three people communicated, they expressed their support.

The Duke of Orleans said: "The second one is about the Prussians, who would ask Poland to ced the land."

This is something everyone can guess. Although Prussia has not made any public statement yet, the question is how much cedes. The Duke of Orleans continued to introduce: "First of all, it can be confirmed that the land along the Baltic Sea cannot be preserved."

Myōkov raised his eyebrows and said nothing, because this was a good thing for Russia. Because of the Ukrainian Federation, the land along the Black Sea that Poland obtained more than 20 years ago was gone. If it lost the land along the Baltic Sea, then Poland's dependence on Russia will increase greatly in the future, which is a good thing for Russia to control Poland and even annex Poland.

"This is a very bad news, but I am still controllable. The Prussians want land, and the difference is only a lot. The tougher our attitude, the less they get. On the contrary, as long as they reach the critical point, they will withdraw from the peace talks. We will be patient and play with Prussia. What do you think?" said Balrow.

Myschkov nodded, and the Duke of Orleans took down the map from the wall and placed it on the table, saying, "But we must ensure this territory."

The Duke of Orleans drew a line on it with a pen, which is roughly the northwestern border of the Ukrainian Federation. Then he circled a crescent-shaped territory, bordering the Russian mainland to the east and the small Ukraine, which is now jointly managed by various countries, said the Duke of Orleans: "I think it is very important to ensure direct land connection between Russia and the small Ukraine, Duke of Myschkov, what do you think?"

Myōkov frowned, but nodded in the end. He was a little contradictory, and Russia also wanted to keep the land of the little Ukraine unobstructed. After all, at this time, the ocean belongs to China. But other countries also benefited, because this would ensure that the Ukrainian Federation could not directly border Prussia, so they would divide these countries.

But Russia is the one who benefits the most, at least not completely isolated from hostile forces.

"But even so, we must persist in the English region, even if we withdraw from the negotiations. This is the will of His Majesty the Tsar, and I hope you can help," said Myschkov.
