Chapter 63 Sudden Good News(2/2)
"Premier Bismarck, Marshal Murat, Count Winston, hello!" Duke Peter stood up, holding a glass of brandy in his hand.
The saying that Russians love wine is indeed well-deserved.
"Sit down! Sit down, everyone!" Bismarck smiled and asked everyone to sit down.
Except for these four people, there was no one else in the tavern.
It can be guaranteed that only the four of them can hear anything discussed here.
Soldiers on the front line are fighting for their lives, and soldiers are killed every day.
But their nobles were chatting harmoniously in an unknown tavern.
I have to say, this is a great irony.
"I'm a bit presumptuous in coming here this time, but I have no choice but to do so.
I heard that you established the European Union?"
Prince Peter took a sip of brandy and looked at the three people who were the first to speak.
"Yes! If Ming Dynasty unites with you, we will naturally stick together to keep warm.
Now Europe has begun to integrate all resources and prepare to fight you to the death. Your arrival at this time really shocked us."
Murat twisted a piece of Stettin's unique smoked fish and tasted it, which tasted pretty good.
"England is currently the country holding the rotating presidency. If you have anything to say, Your Excellency, the Duke, you can speak directly." Winston glanced at Duke Peter.
As an Anglo-Saxon, he really looked down on the Slavs.
To him, the Slavs were rude, rude, and barbaric representatives.
Although Winston is only an earl, his grandfather is a duke.
It is precisely because of this family background that he was able to successfully become the British Prime Minister.
I looked down on the Slavs in my heart, so at the Magdegeburg Conference, I naturally assigned him the role of the villain.
"In this case, I won't hide it.
The war has progressed to this point, and we have joined forces with the Ming Dynasty to achieve a series of victories...!"
"Princess Peter, don't talk about showing off your victories. I believe that behind these victories, Russia and Ming Dynasty suffered a lot of casualties.
Since we jointly launched the war, we will definitely continue the war.
What's more, even if you have a small advantage, our military strength still has the upper hand.
Moreover, our weapons and equipment are also improving day by day, and the gap with the Ming army is getting smaller and smaller."
As soon as Prince Peter started to speak, Winston responded.
Bismarck and Murat looked at each other, smiled and said nothing.
Winston is right, the battlefield is what it is now.
It is definitely the result of strength!
The Ming army was well equipped and its soldiers were well-trained and very powerful.
However, the Ming army was not large in number, and at the same time, the Ming army also had the bad habit of retaining reserve forces.
As a result, many areas were actually garrisoned by Russian troops.
The combat effectiveness of the Russian army can, at best, compete with second-rate European armies like Italy.
Even the third-rate Austro-Hungarian army was able to fight back and forth with the Russian army.
In the Kursk region, the Russian army's current opponent is the Israelis.
The combat effectiveness of the Russian army was somewhat insufficient, and the battle line was repeatedly pushed back.
If it weren't for the Ming Army's armored forces attacking from time to time, the Israelis would now be able to regain the land lost during the Battle of Kursk.
Therefore, whether it was Bismarck or Murat, Winston looked down upon the Russian army, and naturally he did not think highly of Duke Peter.
We can sit down and talk, firstly because of interests, and secondly because we are all nobles and need to observe the etiquette between nobles.
"I'm not here to show off my achievements, but I want to end the war.
No matter how many of your people die, or how many of ours die, it is Europe's loss.
Whether you look up to the Slavs or look down on the Slavs.
The Slavs are all Europeans who came out of the Swedish forest!
We have the same skin color and we have similar beliefs.
We have lived in Europe for generations, and our nobles have intermarried with each other.
We are connected by blood, and Ming Dynasty is the real alien!"
Prince Peter's words shocked all three of them.
It seems...Russia is the ally of the Ming Dynasty, but what Duke Peter said...!
The three people looked at each other, and the eyes of the three old foxes lit up at the same time.
None of the four people spoke, they were all looking at the fire blankly.
If you don't speak, no one will want to speak first.
Prince Peter sipped the brandy in small sips. The wine was very strong, and he was afraid of drinking too much if he drank it in large sips.
Before serious business can be discussed, people drink too much, and the fun will be great.
After a long time, Winston said: "Prince Peter, can we understand it this way?
Russia does not want to continue the war, you want to withdraw!"
Finally someone spoke, and Prince Peter breathed a sigh of relief.
"Not exactly, Russia wants to end the war, not withdraw from the war." Duke Peter looked at Winston and said.
The three people’s eyes lit up again!
Although the Russian army is poorly trained, poorly equipped, and of low quality.
But after all, the Russian army also had millions of people. The Ming Dynasty's small military strength, without the help of the Russian army, would not be enough to fill the long exhibition.
The most important thing is that the land of Russia is the foothold of the Ming Dynasty.
Without Russia, Ming Dynasty would not have a foothold at all.
Their front will retreat all the way to Central Asia.
Russia wants to rebel!
This is great news!
"You mean that Russia is ready to join us and start a war with the Ming Dynasty?" Murat asked, putting down his wine glass.
"Yes! However, we have conditions."
"What conditions!" Murat, Winston, and Bismarck asked in unison.
"There are several conditions. First, the Pope must guarantee that he will not use religion to judge our Queen or any Russians.
Second, after the war, the armies of various countries will withdraw from Russian territory.
Three! As the birthplace of the Slavs, Kiev must be returned to Russia.
Fourth, our Majesty the Queen and the nobles cannot be judged for any reason.
Fifth, after the war is over, you must provide reconstruction loans to Russia.
Sixth, you must provide Russia with food and other livelihood supplies."
Prince Peter made six conditions in a row. After saying them in one breath, he sat and looked at the three people present.
As a senior politician, Prince Peter knows that the so-called European Union is just a nice word.
In fact, the only EU countries that can call the shots are England, France and Prussia.
