Chapter 1246 Two French

Four billion Chinese Yuan is undoubtedly a large sum. However, for France, it is actually not an unacceptable compensation. After the failure of the French-Prussian War in history, France compensated Prussia for 5 billion francs. If it was converted into Chinese Yuan, it would be 800 million Chinese Yuan. However, the French paid it back in just three years. Now, China has increased the compensation to 4 billion Chinese Yuan, which is only eight times more than that.

Of course, France's territory is now nearly half reduced. Repayment ability and other things will definitely be greatly reduced. However, overall, there should be no problem in paying it back within 20 years. What's more, France is already rich. Although they are not the world's leading power in industry, they are ahead of the operation of capital. Otherwise, France would not have been known as the usury empire.

Although the four countries of China, Xibipu have determined that France will repay the war reparation of 4 billion Chinese dollars. But how do you allocate these 4 billion Chinese dollars? Every country will definitely hope to account for a little more share of these 4 billion Chinese dollars.

"Everyone, since you have determined the war reparations of 4 billion Chinese yuan, how much proportion can we each account for?" asked Lin Zihao, the Prime Minister of the Empire. Forty billion Chinese yuan, the Empire will definitely share a large share. After all, the empire was the main force in the destruction of France. The two allies of the empire, the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium, also had bloody battles. On the other hand, the Kingdom of Prussia joined in at the last moment to get a bargain, and its behavior was very bad.

"Prime Minister, the Kingdom of Spain believes that the Kingdom of Spain should account for 30% of the share of France's war reparations! After all, in the battle against France, the Kingdom of Spain invested millions of troops!" The Duke of Valencia, the Prime Minister of Spain, said first. If he could obtain a 30% share, it would be 1.2 billion Chinese dollars. This is undoubtedly a huge sum of money for the Kingdom of Spain.

"The Kingdom of Belgium should also be divided into 30% of these war reparations! In order to fight against France, the Kingdom of Belgium paid a huge price, and even its territory fell most of its territory. We need to use the reconstruction of the country for this war reparation!" Belgian Prime Minister Charles Rozer also said.

The members of the delegation of the Kingdom of Prussia were not very good-looking. The Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium demanded 60% of the total compensation as soon as they arrived. What should they do? The remaining 40%. The Chinese Empire will definitely account for the majority, so what else is the Prussia Kingdom?

"The Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium have demanded too much, and the Kingdom of Prussia expressed opposition. The Kingdom of Prussia believes that we should obtain twenty percent of this war reparation!" said Otto von Bismarck, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia. He also knew that in the battle to destroy France, the Kingdom of Prussia did not have much strength. If it wanted to occupy the majority, it would definitely be opposed by several other countries.

"Everyone, you have too many requirements. The Chinese Empire is the main force to destroy France. Without the attack of our millions of elite troops, France would not be able to perish at all. Therefore, in this war reparation, the Chinese Empire needs to obtain 50% of it!" Lin Zihao also said expressionlessly. Since everyone spoke loudly, he certainly would not be worried.

All parties immediately started arguing in order to compete for more war reparations. A total of 4 billion Chinese yuan of war reparations, even if it is one percent, would be 40 million Chinese yuan! Four powerful battleships are here!

"Everyone, it's not a solution to continue quarrel like this. Why don't you give in each one? The empire only requires 45% compensation, and the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium are also reduced by 5%. The remaining 5% will be given to the Kingdom of Prussia!" Lin Zihao said. After all, 5% is equivalent to 200 million Chinese yuan, which is also a lot. The Prussians only sent troops to capture the territory of northeastern France at the end of the war. There was no loss at all. In this way, they could obtain 200 million Chinese yuan of war compensation, which was already a big profit.

"This distribution plan is good!" said the Duke of Valencia, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Spain. The Kingdom of Spain received 25%, which was 1 billion Chinese dollars. It was 800 million Chinese dollars more than the five percent share obtained by the Prussians.

"The Kingdom of Belgium also accepts this allocation plan!" said Belgian Prime Minister Charles Rorier.

"No, the Kingdom of Prussia opposes!" Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck's face turned pale. The war reparations received by the Kingdom of Prussia were only one-fifth of those of the two small countries, the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium. This is too bullying!

"So, Your Excellency Bismarck, how much do you think the Kingdom of Prussia should obtain? We have agreed before that the distribution of interests should be based on the contributions made by the countries in the war." Lin Zihao said.

"His Excellency Lin Zihao, the Kingdom of Prussia has made a lot of contributions to the war against France. In the early stages of the war, without the 200,000 troops of the Kingdom of Prussia entered the Kingdom of Belgium, how could the Kingdom of Belgium resist the attack of the British and French coalition forces? Therefore, in this battle, the Kingdom of Prussia also made great contributions. We must at least obtain more than ten percent of the share of the war reparations!" Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck said.

Although all countries were not ashamed of the Prussian Kingdom's behavior of picking peaches in the war, they had to admit that on the battlefield of Belgium, the 200,000 troops of the Prussian Kingdom also played a great role. In the early stages of the war, hundreds of thousands of British and French forces attacked the Belgian Kingdom, and relying solely on the power of the Belgian Kingdom, the Belgian Kingdom might have been destroyed. Even if they could restore the country after the war, the losses they paid would have been much greater than they are now.

"Well, the Kingdom of Belgium is willing to reduce its share to 20%, and the other 5%, give it to the Kingdom of Prussia!" said Belgian Prime Minister Charles Rozer. Although he was 200 million yuan less, he also understood the grudges between him and the Kingdom of Prussia. Next time, both sides may become enemies again.

Lin Zihao nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then 5% does not need to use the share of the Belgian Kingdom. The Empire is willing to pay this 5%."

The Kingdom of Belgium is an important ally of the Empire. In the next war, the Kingdom of Belgium needs to be at the forefront. Therefore, winning over the Kingdom of Belgium and keeping the Kingdom of Belgium always tied to the Empire's chariot is a national policy that the Empire has always attached great importance to.

Sure enough, after the empire took the initiative to fill the 5% share, Prime Minister Charles Roriye looked at Lin Zihao and others with gratitude. The Kingdom of Belgium is now almost in ruins, and if it wants to rebuild it, it requires a lot of funds. The 200 million Chinese yuan is also a very important amount of funds for the Kingdom of Belgium.

"Then, the current distribution plan will be forty percent of the empire, twenty-five percent each, and ten percent of the Prussian Kingdom! If everyone has no objection, then we will reach an agreement like this!" said the empire's Prime Minister Lin Zihao.

Delegates from all countries nodded, expressing their approval of this allocation plan.

The empire received 40% of the war reparations, which is 1.6 billion Chinese Yuan. The Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium each received 1 billion Chinese Yuan. The Kingdom of Prussia received 400 million Chinese Yuan.

Although it seems that the Prussian Kingdom received the least war reparations, they actually did not suffer any losses. After all, the place where the Prussian Kingdom shared the interests would be in negotiations with Russia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. They were already very satisfied to be able to get 400 million Chinese dollars from the French.

"Everyone, we have reached an agreement on the disposal plan for France. Then, there is another question that cannot be avoided next. That is, who will rule France with the Orleans royal family and the Bonaparte royal family? If this is not clear, we will not be able to pay the war reparations!" Lin Zihao said.

"The Kingdom of Prussia supports the Bonaparte royal family to continue to rule France!" Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck said. Although his words were short, the meaning revealed was very firm.

"The Kingdom of Spain supports the Orleans royal family!" said the Duke of Valencia.

"The Kingdom of Belgium also supports the Orleans royal family!" said Charles Rorier.

Lin Zihao also had a headache. The Chinese Empire hoped that the Orleans royal family would rule France, but they had to beware of the Orleans royal family becoming ungrateful. After all, at this meeting, countries killed France too hard, and the Orleans royal family must be angry. In addition, the Prussian Kingdom strongly supported the Bonaparte royal family, so the difficulty was a bit difficult.

"Since everyone is in a stalemate, why not do this! Let the Orleans royal family and the Bonaparte royal family rule France, we will divide the remaining territory of France into two!" Lin Zihao said. This was a way that he thought of inspiration. Divide the remaining territory of France into two parts. In that case, whether it is the Orleans royal family or the Bonaparte royal family ruled by France, the strength will be very weak, and the threats it can pose to various countries will undoubtedly be much smaller.

Lin Zihao's idea made everyone's eyes lit up. In essence, no one wants France to become stronger. After all, a powerful France will pose a threat to all countries. If we split France into two, it will be much easier to deal with. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better and faster!
