Chapter 777

In Constantinople, a meeting to divide the spoils is currently underway in the coalition headquarters. Since the anti-Turkish alliance is composed of four countries, it is natural that the four countries must come together to divide the spoils.

In this regard, the Vienna government is very careful about eating. In any case, Greece and Montenegro are also victorious countries, and they still have a share of the spoils.

As the de facto leader of the anti-Turkish alliance, Austrian Foreign Minister Weisenberg was the first to speak: "With the joint efforts of everyone, we finally won this war in the Near East.

Now that the war is over, it's time to distribute the spoils. In principle, we distribute the spoils of war according to the size of each country's contribution to the war.

If you have any special requirements, you can put forward them first, and we will give priority to those who can meet them. "

"Prioritizing" is not "prioritizing gratification," which has set the tone for the spoils meeting. Wesenberg's meaning is very obvious, not to mention excessive requirements, it is impossible to pass.

"The Black Sea Strait is the gateway to the Russian Empire, and we hope to gain Ottoman territory along the Sea of ​​Marmara," said the governor of Constantinople, Fetoryak.

The land is sold, and the spoils still have to be fought over. As long as the St. Petersburg negotiation does not come to an end, the Russian-Austrian territorial transaction on the Asia Minor peninsula cannot be finalized.

It's just that compared to the nervous representatives of Greece and Montenegro, Fotoryak is much more relaxed.

As a high-level executive of the Russian Empire, Ftoryak knew how determined the tsarist government was to throw away this burden.

The negotiation is still deadlocked, it is only for the maximization of interests, the deal is almost inevitable, otherwise the negotiator will not be his governor.

Greek Foreign Minister Nislav followed: "We want to get the Izmir area to settle the Greeks in the Ottoman territory."

The immigration plan of the Vienna government also depends on the person, and the background background is not in the first batch of migration list.

Although Greece is a little weaker, it is also a member of the anti-Turkish alliance. The Greeks who survived in the Ottomans are temporarily out of the scope of migration.

Despite Nislav's best restraint, Wesenberg was stunned by the Greek lion's mouth.

The Izmir region is not a backcountry. After the loss of Constantinople, it was the most prosperous port of the Ottoman Empire and the largest city in the country.

Located on the western coast of the Ottomans, it can be said to be the most elite area on the Asia Minor Peninsula. Even the capital Ankara was not prosperous before the war.

The diplomatic work has been done for a long time, and Wesenberg is also well-informed, and his unhappy expression flashed away. He still smiled and turned his attention to the representative of Montenegro.

Nicolas Cage, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Principality of Montenegro, said with a blank face: "We have no claim to territory, we just want economic compensation."

Are there really no territorial claims?

the answer is negative!

The problem is that Montenegro is too weak to operate the enclave at all. What they want is adjacent territories. The problem is that those territories are Austrian. Who dares to propose them?

Peeping into the homeland of the great powers? This joke can't be played indiscriminately, showing the slightest thought, it may lead to the destruction of the country.

Wesenberg nodded with satisfaction: "I understand everyone's requirements, except for Baron Nicolas Cage's request, which can be clearly answered, all others need further discussion.

In this war, everyone seized a lot of property, which in principle belonged to their own.

Since the Principality of Montenegro has given up its territorial claims, it will take part of the spoils of the Austrian military to compensate your country, and give your country an active-duty first-class battleship. "

Nicolas Cage is already satisfied with this result. The strategic materials for this war were all from Austria, and the price paid by the Principality of Montenegro was only two battalions of casualties, and only 180 people were killed in the battle.

The first-class battleship is not cheap. The Principality of Montenegro does not have this thing. I don’t know how much Nicolas Cage will cost, but the price of Austria’s foreign sales is as high as 1.15 million Aegis.

Now is the marine age, everyone has a naval dream. The Principality of Montenegro had fought with the Ottoman Empire for hundreds of years in order to get to the sea.

It is a pity that the government's fiscal revenue is limited, and some funds can be invested in the navy, and the navy fleet only supports a few sailing warships.

With this harvest, Nicolas Cage is enough to return to China for business. As for other spoils of compensation, he no longer counts on it.

The ones that can be realized have been disposed of long ago, and now all that are left are those kinds of goods that are not easy to sell, and they are not worth much at all.

After some thought, Nicolas Cage replied: "No problem, we are very satisfied with this compensation."

Fighting with each other, that doesn't exist. Diplomatic negotiations are sometimes troublesome and sometimes simple.

It is necessary to negotiate the price all the time, which is based on the fact that the strength of the two sides is close, they have the ability to bargain, and the negotiation conditions are very different.

Now the conditions offered by Austria have exceeded the expectations of the Principality of Montenegro, and naturally there is no need to bargain.

When the negotiation was entering the next stage, the voice of the guard outside the door sounded: "Your Excellency Governor, St. Petersburg emergency call."

"Bring it in!" said Governor Ftoryac

After receiving the telegram, Ftoriak didn't shy away from it, and read it directly.

"Everyone, I think this negotiation can be concluded."

After finishing speaking, Futoryak directly telegraphed

It was handed to Wesenberg, and the title above was "Agreement between Russia and Austria on the Disposal of the Territory of the Ottoman Empire".

Both Russia and Austria have signed a treaty, and the tsarist government has sold all its post-war interests, and there will be no value in negotiating any further.

As for the Greeks, they were naturally ignored by Fettoriak.

Anyway, the interests belonging to the Russian Empire have been obtained. If the Greeks want a share of the Asia Minor peninsula, they should go to the Austrians to ask for it. It is no longer his business.

After a quick glance at the document, Wesenberg said slowly: "There is really no need to talk. Since the treaty has been signed, we will perform according to the content of the treaty."

Wesenberg didn't think the Russians would play some kind of fake telegram game, and the treaty didn't need to be re-signed anyway, so deceiving him would be meaningless except to ask for trouble.

The content of the treaty is as follows:

1. The Russian Empire gave up its territorial claims to the Ottoman Empire and supported Austria’s annexation of the Ottoman Empire. In return, the Vienna government needed to compensate the Tsarist government for 68 million Aegis in cash;

2. The Russian Empire promises to resettle people in the Ottoman Empire, and the Vienna government needs to pay a resettlement fee of 125 million Aegis; (guaranteed to resettle in a territory 1,000 kilometers away from Austria)

3. The Vienna government promises that the Austrian Navy will not establish a port in the Black Sea, and that warships with a displacement of more than 2,000 tons entering the Black Sea must first seek the consent of the Russian side;

4. Russia and Austria will join forces to fight...

...

After circulating the contents of the treaty, Nislav was embarrassed. Originally, he thought that when there was a dispute between Russia and Austria and the support of Greece was needed, he could take advantage of the opportunity.

The reality told Nislav that this was completely overthinking, and everyone closed the door to get it done by themselves, and they didn't even want to ask them.

Not counting the war expenses, the Austrians would have to pay 193 million Aegis just to pay the Russians. If the war expenses are added, the Vienna government has to spend at least 400 million Aegis.

The Austrians paid such a high price, why should Greece get a share of the Asia Minor peninsula?

Perhaps realizing this, Wesenberg added: "Sir Nislav, in view of your country's performance in this war, I propose to compensate your country by reference to Montenegrin standards.

As for the Izmir region, in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts in the future, I think it is better for Your Excellency to give up. "

Hearing this "suggestion", Nislav sweated on his forehead. Where it is negotiating, it is clearly notifying the result.

The scene suddenly became awkward, and Nislav didn't know how to reply.

Reject Wesenberg's "suggestion"?

Just thinking about it, even if Izmir was given to Greece, Nislav would not dare to accept it now. Otherwise, a conflict broke out later, and he would be responsible for it.

But after agreeing, Nislav was not reconciled, and he didn't fight for it.

Seeing that the negotiation was about to reach a deadlock, Governor Futoryak, who was the host, came out and said, "The question of the two Izmirs may as well be put on hold for a while.

The Ottoman Empire has perished, and now it is necessary for us to issue an announcement to the outside world to warn the villains who are making trouble behind their backs. "

On this issue, the four countries of the Anti-Turkish Alliance have the same position, and they have no sympathy for the British who are making small moves behind their backs.

Austrian Foreign Minister Weisenberg echoed: "Your suggestion is very constructive. We really should warn the villains behind the scenes, lest they continue to do some disgusting shit."

The two bosses said yes, and Nislav and Nicolas Cage would naturally have no opinion.

Threatening to the British from the air is exciting to imagine. This is something European countries want to do but dare not do.

If it weren't for the banner of the Anti-Turkish Alliance, and Russia and Austria rushing to carry mines in front, they wouldn't dare to participate in such a face-to-face thing.

Soon a sternly worded announcement was born. Representatives of the four countries of Russia, Austria, and Heihe jointly signed the name behind, and the title was directly titled "The Four-Power Pact of the Anti-Turkish Alliance".

1. From now on, the evil Ottoman Empire will perish;

2. For the sake of world peace and stability, the Anti-Turkish Alliance will continue to fight the remnants of the Ottoman Empire all over the world;

3. Any act of harbouring or covering up the remnants of the Ottomans will be regarded as a challenge to the Anti-Turkish Alliance. Once the Anti-Turkish Alliance is discovered, it will take extraordinary measures to strike, including war;
