Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1200
[Chapter 1186 Vienna]
Vienna.
As a transport plane landed at the airport, the whole city seemed to be buzzing.
At the airport, Lu Fei, Ye Qingyun, and Lei Ming all stared at the landing transport plane.
They had received the news in advance that Xiao Ming would come to Vienna in person to participate in the signing of the Vienna Treaty.
Also present at the airport were the princes and nobles of the Allied Powers. Now that the war was victorious, it was time to reap the fruits.
Obviously, they did not want to miss this opportunity and wanted to meet with this mysterious Eastern Emperor as soon as possible in order to obtain maximum benefits from the signing of the treaty.
The plane slowly stopped on the runway of the airport. Immediately, the door of the plane opened, and Xiao Ming and the officials slowly stepped off the landing gear.
Lu Fei and the generals walked forward and came to Xiao Ming. They neatly performed a military salute.
At the same time, the Austrian military band played cheerful music.
The princes and nobles of the Allied Powers also stepped forward and formed two teams.
They scramble to get ahead, fearing that others will get ahead of them.
“Thank you for your hard work, commanders.” Xiao Ming first greeted Lu Fei and others.
“Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty.” Everyone said in unison, with smiles on their faces.
Xiao Ming nodded slightly, and then he continued to move forward.
In the evening, he had time to learn about the situation in Europe with Lu Fei and the others. Now he still needed to briefly say hello to the members of the Allied Powers.
Tang Wenjie stepped forward and introduced Xiao Ming: “Your Majesty, this is the King of Austria, this King of Sweden…”
Every time he introduced someone, Xiao Ming stretched out his hand to shake hands with them, and hundreds of people came to him. Saw them all.
After a brief meeting, Xiao Ming took a special car to the Austrian hotel where he was staying.
In the evening, he, Lu Fei and others had dinner at the hotel where they were staying.
“Your Majesty, in order to ensure safety, the defense of Vienna is currently under the temporary control of the imperial army. There are also a large number of imperial troops stationed outside Vienna. It is absolutely safe here.” Lu Fei said.
Ye Qingyun and Lei Ming were responsible for the safety of the meeting schedule. Ye Qingyun said: “The security work during the entire meeting will be carried out by imperial soldiers to prevent accidents.”
When coming to Europe this time, what everyone is most worried about is Xiao Ming’s safety. problem, so everyone dare not take it lightly.
If something happens in Europe, they will really lose more than they gain.
“Yes, you are doing things much more thoughtfully now than before. With you here, I won’t worry about safety issues.” Xiao Ming said with a smile.
After a pause, he continued: “Have all the members of the St. Petersburg Entente arrived?”
“The French Emperor Henry has committed suicide. In addition, other heads of state have arrived. They are all waiting for the meeting to be held.” Tang Wenjie reported to Xiao Ming .
“Well, how are their emotions?”
“After this war, they no longer have any illusions, and the domestic calls for an armistice are also very high. I believe that even if it is harsh conditions, they will have to accept it at this time. “
Xiao Ming showed a satisfied look. He had many goals to achieve in Vienna this time.
After pondering for a while, he said: “The agenda of the meeting has been prepared by the cabinet. Take it back and look at it carefully. We will start preparations according to these contents tomorrow.”
Tang Wenjie took the thick document and briefly flipped through it with a relaxed expression. , it was clear that the cabinet had already figured out what it wanted to talk about in Vienna, so that all he had to do was implement it.
Assigning a task to Tang Wenjie, Xiao Ming looked at his generals at this time: “The end of this war does not mean that the empire’s military presence in Europe is no longer necessary. In fact, in order to prevent the St. Petersburg Allies from threatening the security of the world, the empire It is necessary to station troops on the territory of the Allied Powers in St. Petersburg, so your mission is not over yet, but has just begun.”
Lu Fei and the other three looked happy when they heard this. The war in Europe is now over, which means that there will be no more wars in the world. There are big wars.
If so, they will be bored again.
If they can station troops in Europe, then they will at least have something to do.
“The general also thinks so. Although the war in Europe has ended, Europe has not yet completely calmed down. There are still some resistance forces that are always threatening the security of the Allied Powers. And although the United Kingdom and other countries have been defeated, they are still unwilling to accept this. When the empire’s army leaves, they will definitely develop their military power secretly to plan for the future,” Lu Fei said.
Ye Qingyun deeply agreed, “Your Majesty, what Commander Lu Fei said is very reasonable. During this war, we have fully understood the St. Petersburg Allies. They are all careerists and will not be willing to live under others for a long time. Once they become stronger again, It will definitely backfire on the empire, so there is no need for me to station troops on their territory to monitor what they do. Once they make dangerous moves, the empire can respond at any time.”
Xiao Ming nodded, this was what he wanted to do. One of the purposes of his first trip to Europe was to achieve complete control of Europe through this war.
“Your ideas have been taken into consideration by the cabinet. In this Treaty of Vienna, the Empire will make clear provisions for the defeated countries in St. Petersburg. These provisions will trap them in a cage.” Xiao Ming said solemnly.
After a brief communication, Xiao Ming asked Lu Fei and the others to go back separately.
At this time, the hotel where he was staying was already lined with waiting politicians from the Allied Powers in Vienna.
They all wanted to meet Xiao Ming before the meeting to discuss the contents of the treaty.
Xiao Ming did not want to neglect these members of the Allied Powers.
Because in the future he will need these member states to restrain these defeated countries in Europe.
So after Lu Fei and others left, he asked Tang Wenjie to arrange a meeting with these people. He also wanted to hear what these people thought so that they would not have differences of opinion when the meeting was held.
After meeting with dignitaries from Austria, the Netherlands, Hungary, Sweden, Finland, Norway and other countries, he had a plan in mind.
Just like every time a victorious country versus a defeated country in history, the first thing these countries raised was territorial issues.
Whether it is Austria or the Netherlands, they both demand part of the territory that was once disputed or related to the defeated country.
The second article is war compensation. In the early days of the war, the Vienna Entente was attacked by the St. Petersburg Entente. Due to the disparity in strength, they all suffered relatively heavy losses. Now they are demanding compensation.
Article 3 These countries hope that the empire can formulate a plan to curb the defeat of the defeated country from becoming stronger, so as to prevent the defeated country from re-rising after the war and posing a threat to them.
The ideas of these Entente members coincided with those of the Empire.
In this way, this matter will be easier to handle.
