Objectively speaking, Prince Peter's request is not excessive.

What is a little excessive is the provision of loans and food supplies.

Everyone is so poor, and these days, the landlords don’t have enough food left!

However, as long as this kind of agreement is not implemented on paper, there is still room for negotiation.

To a certain extent, negotiations between countries are similar to bargaining by street vendors.

It is a common phenomenon to ask for a high price and then pay back the money on the spot.

Anyone who takes this request seriously is a stick.

Those present here are all veteran politicians, political elites who have been trained since childhood.

This little trick has long been mastered by these old foxes.

"Prince Peter, we cannot answer your request now. Such a big matter requires some coordination with the country."

Bismarck took a sip of brandy, put down his glass and said to Prince Peter.

Peter also understood in his heart the so-called consultation with the country.

In fact, it is the three of them who have to discuss the corresponding conditions.

Except for the defeat negotiations, basically the negotiation conditions are unique to both sides. There is no reason why the coalition forces must agree unconditionally if Russia puts forward a condition.

"Then you need to hurry up. If I leave Moscow for too long, people will be suspicious." Prince Peter nodded to express his understanding, but also gave a warning.

"Of course, if nothing unexpected happens, we can talk about it tomorrow morning. It won't waste too much of your time."

After Bismarck finished speaking, Murat and Winston stood up together, and the three of them walked out of the tavern.

The wind seemed to be getting stronger, and the snow particles falling from the sky hit my face painfully.

The three people got into the carriage each and drove slowly on the quiet road in Stettin.

The three of them had received the highest authorization before coming to Stettin.

As long as Russia's request is not too excessive, they can agree to it.

The three people went to the small conference room of the city hall, discussed it all night, and finally agreed on the terms.

The wind was still blowing and the snow was falling heavily. The sky and the earth turned into a completely white world.

It was still the same tavern, the fireplace was still burning brightly, and the same people sitting in front of the fireplace were the same people as yesterday.

When Prince Peter got the piece of paper filled with conditions, his hands couldn't help shaking.

The coalition will not return Kiev because that land has been promised to Israel.

Similarly, the coalition will not provide post-war reconstruction loans and support people's livelihood supplies, including food.

The coalition promised Russia that it would not judge the Russian queen and nobles in any form.

Any form, including religious forms.

The EU will convince the Pope to target the religious war only at the Ming Empire.

The coalition forces agreed to half of Russia's request. In fact, this half is what Russia values ​​most.

As long as the Queen and the nobles will not be tried, their goal will basically be achieved.

In fact, the so-called return to Kiev, reconstruction loans and aid are all just a cover for bargaining.

Russia's core interest is actually to ensure that Catherine and the Russian nobles, including Duke Peter, will not face any trial.

"After the war, you cannot station troops in Russia." The only thing that Duke Peter could not accept was the coalition's request for stationing troops.

After all, it is our own territory, so why are there always a group of foreign troops entrenched here?

If one day you want to change the emperor of Russia, is that up to you?

"Prince Peter, this is also for the sake of your Russian security.

If you join the coalition to attack the Ming Dynasty, you will definitely bring serious losses to the Ming Dynasty.

Once they are defeated, their defenses will fall back to Central Asia.

Will they let you go?

The Ming army will definitely retaliate against you, Russia.

We station troops in Russia to help you resist the Ming army's attack."

Murat looked at Prince Peter with a smile.

"We will handle the affairs of the people of Ming Dynasty, you don't need to worry about it.

The matter of garrisoning troops after the war is non-negotiable." Prince Peter said firmly, there was no room for bargaining in this matter.

As long as it is a normal country, it will not allow other countries to station troops on its own land.

The three people looked at each other. This was the most heated argument they had yesterday.

Bismarck said that Prince Peter would never agree.

But Murat and Winston insisted on writing this article before talking about it.

In Winston's words, we didn't say anything. How do we know he won't agree?

What if he agrees?

Winston said so, and there was nothing Bismarck could do.

Now it seems that the veteran Bismarck is more powerful.

Murat shrugged helplessly, and Winston looked at this guy angrily. The French were the ones who escaped from the battlefield.

It was agreed last night, and the three parties jointly exerted pressure to force the Russians to agree to this condition.

"Okay! We take back this condition, but you must agree to the following conditions."

It was Bismarck who stood up and resolved Winston's embarrassment.

Prince Peter was also in a bit of trouble with the following point.

They want three complete Daming tractors!

Tractors are called Ming army horses and they play an important role in the logistics of the Ming army.

Obtaining a few tractors without anyone noticing is not a big problem, but the most critical problem is how they got into the hands of the Prussians.

We can't just drive through the front line and hand it over to the Prussians in a big way.

"To be honest, I think this is unnecessary.

If we join the coalition, you can easily pass through our defenses.

We will help you attack the Ming army's supply points and various command centers.

At that time, let alone three tractors, even ten or a hundred tractors will not be a big problem.

You may not know that there are thousands of tractors running on the land of Russia now.

Moreover, the Ming army was behind the front, and there were military trucks that were more powerful than tractors on the roads.

That thing can carry more than a tractor and can run faster than a tractor.

Unfortunately, the demand for roads is relatively high.

I think that's the real good thing.

But don’t worry, we will share the spoils of the battle with the coalition forces.”

Prince Peter shook the brandy in his hand and said.

The three people exchanged looks again!

I have to say that what Prince Peter said makes sense.

The Russian army suddenly rebelled, and the Ming army was bound to fall into great chaos.

With their numerical superiority, the coalition forces could quickly defeat the Ming army. They could even annihilate most of the Ming army.

Until then, let alone what kind of tractor it is.

Tanks and military trucks are no problem!

Even airplanes can be imagined. At this time, we are still struggling with what to do with a few tractors.

Murat, who was convinced by Prince Peter, turned a little red.

He really wanted a tractor that could travel on rugged roads and pull carts of supplies.

If the French army had this thing, they would no longer have to look at the British and buy the expensive Sharma from the British for real money.

There is no need to endure hunger and cold due to insufficient logistical supplies.

In the Battle of Tsaritsyn, the French army's failure was largely due to insufficient logistical supplies.

Many soldiers could only get a few slices of bread every day.

If they rush, they will be knocked to the ground and unable to get up.
