Chapter 494: The End of the Alliance (Part 2)

U.S. Consul Guna said first: "Our U.S. government believes that what we should consider now is how to negotiate with overseas Chinese, completely end China's war, and restore China's peace as soon as possible, rather than continue to expand the scale of the war, because doing so does not benefit us, so if other countries insist on reorganizing the Eight-Nation Alliance, the United States will not participate."

French Consul Bai Zaotai also said: "Our French government also agrees to immediately restart negotiations with overseas Chinese. When the battle goes through this point, France's interests in China have suffered serious losses, so any action to expand the scale of the war is now undesirable."

In fact, France is quite dissatisfied with Russia now, because the purpose of the alliance between France and Russia is to fight against Germany. But now Russia has repeatedly devoted its energy to the East, and it seems that it has no intention to expose Germany with France. Instead, it is like Russia is using France to restrain its country, but it expands to the East, so France naturally cannot accept such alliance relationships. In addition, after the secret exchanges with overseas Chinese during this period, the two sides basically reached a preliminary intention agreement for a truce. France also took this opportunity to express its attitude to Russia.

The two major powers of the United States and France took the lead in opposing the reconstruction of the Eight-Nation Alliance. Other countries immediately expressed their opinions and opposed the expansion of the war, but wanted to hold peace talks with overseas Chinese. In such a situation of public opposition, Dmitryev did not insist, but said: "Well, even though all countries advocate negotiations with overseas Chinese. Although this is different from the Russian government's proposal, in order to safeguard the overall actions of the Eight-Nation Alliance, we are willing to sacrifice certain interests and negotiate with overseas Chinese. However, in the negotiations, everyone must use the overall Eight-Nation Alliance to put pressure on overseas Chinese to force overseas Chinese to make concessions and return the invasion of the interests of various countries."

In fact, although the Russians are barbaric and vulgar, they are definitely not simple-minded and well-equipped. On the contrary, they are very smart. Dmitryev is very clear that it is impossible to rebuild the Eight-Nation Alliance. He still has to make a proposal to rebuild the Eight-Nation Alliance, which is to tell all countries that Russia is not afraid to fight with overseas Chinese, but because all countries are unwilling to fight. Russia agreed to the peace talks out of the overall actions of the Eight-Nation Alliance. This not only made a high attitude, but also emphasized that Russia is protecting the overall Eight-Nation Alliance. Because Russia's failure in the southward strategy this time not only saw the voice of the Eight-Nation Alliance plummet, but to gain the initiative in negotiating with overseas Chinese, it must gain a favorable position in the Eight-Nation Alliance. Then Russia hurriedly dressed up as if it were to maintain the Eight-Nation Alliance.

However, the Russians were well-predicted, but the consuls of other countries were not stupid either. Then they could not see Russia's plans. Japanese consul Cheek immediately sneered: "Is Russia only remembering the whole of the Eight-Nation Alliance? But when Russia unilaterally decided to send troops south, did it ever think that the Eight-Nation Alliance was a whole and had it been recognized by other countries?"

Dmitryev was also very annoyed when he was slapped in the face by the Japanese Monkey King, but he was still stubborn and argued: "My decision to send troops south because Beijing has been captured by overseas Chinese. We are going to reinforce the Eight-Nation Alliance, which is to protect the Eight-Nation Alliance."

Odaki naturally would not allow him to pass the argument and said: "In other words, as long as Russia believes that it is an action to maintain the Eight-Nation Alliance, it is not necessary to pass the consent of other countries of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and it is unilateral action? So can we Japan also believe that as long as it is an action to maintain the Eight-Nation Alliance, it is also possible to act alone without the consent of other countries?"

Dmitryev's big face turned red, but he retorted silently, so he had to pretend to sneer and said, "Then I want to hear, what kind of action do you plan to take?"

Odaki did not pay attention to him anymore, but turned to other consuls and said, "All consuls should be very careful. The Eight-Nation Alliance no longer exists, so this alliance formed by the Eight-Nation Alliance has actually perished. The overall failure of the Eight-Nation Alliance is not only a military reason, but also within this alliance, some countries only for the interests of their own countries, regardless of the overall interests of the Eight-Nation Alliance, which is also an important factor."

When he said this, the other consuls looked at Dmitryev. In fact, everyone understood that the country Odaki mentioned was Russia, and Dmitryev felt guilty, so he said nothing.

Oda Choi continued: "In order to maintain the alliance of the Eight-Nation Alliance, our Japan has made great sacrifices and repeatedly tolerated the excessive behavior of a certain country. This has seriously damaged Japan's national interests. Since the alliance of the Eight-Nation Alliance does not exist now, then we Japan will not let our interests continue to lose. Therefore, we Japan decided to immediately initiate separate talks with overseas Chinese and sign a separate treaty with overseas Chinese after reaching an agreement."

When Dmitryev heard this, he was not only surprised, but pointed at Odachi and said, "You... are you going to withdraw from the Eight-Nation Alliance?"

Odagiri also sneered and said, "The Eight-Nation Alliance no longer exists, and there is a contribution from you Russia in it, so we Japan do not have to withdraw or withdraw."

Dmitryev was about to say something else, but the consul of the Austro-Hungarian Empire also said that the Austro-Hungarian Empire also decided to hold separate talks with overseas Chinese.

In fact, the conflict between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Russia is extremely profound because the two countries competed very fiercely on the Balkan Peninsula. Politically, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was basically the only one who was German and horses. Therefore, after the time travelers, Germany and Austro-Hungarian Empire secretly negotiated and decided that after Japan first jumped out to negotiate separately, the Austro-Hungarian Empire immediately followed up, creating a dome-like effect.

Before Dmitryev could react, Bai Zaotai continued: "To maintain the overall interests of the alliance, it requires all parties in the alliance to work together, rather than one party working alone to maintain the alliance, while the other party uses the power of the alliance to seek personal gain for the country, which is to harm the interests of other members of the alliance. Such an alliance should not exist anymore. Therefore, our French government also advocates the terminating of the Eight-Nation Alliance and hold separate talks with overseas Chinese."

Dmitryev's face turned red and white, and he naturally could hear that Bai Zaotai was pointing out accusations. On the surface, it was an Eight-Nation Alliance, but in fact it was a French-Russian alliance, and directly implying that if Russia still acted unilaterally indifferent to France's interests, France would consider ending the French-Russian alliance. Dmitryev was very clear in his heart that the French-Russian alliance was also very important to Russia, because between Russia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Germany had obviously chosen the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Therefore, in the competition in the Balkans, Russia had to face the common pressure from Germany and Austro-Australia, and must maintain the French-Russian alliance so that Russia could have the capital to confront Germany and Austro-Australia.

Judging from Bai Zaotai's statement, France is obviously quite dissatisfied with Russia's strategy of paying too much attention to the East. So Dmitryev also made up his mind and immediately telegrammed to the domestic government as soon as possible, asking the domestic government to communicate with France as soon as possible, eliminate misunderstandings, and maintain the French-Russian alliance.

Just when Dmitryev was at this point, the United States and Italy continued to make a statement, deciding to terminate the alliance of the Eight-Nation Alliance and hold separate talks with overseas Chinese.

In this way, only Britain and Germany have no say, and Dmitryev will also place his hopes on Britain and Germany. After all, Britain is still the world's strongest, while Germany is the newest in Europe. If these two countries insist on maintaining the Eight-Nation Alliance, plus Russia, even though there are only three countries, it can still save the current situation.

At this time, British Consul Huo Bilan said: "Our British government has also agreed to terminate the alliance of the Eight-Nation Alliance and hold separate talks with overseas Chinese."

German Consul Knappe also said: "The attitude of the German government is the same as that of all countries."

Britain is a world-strong and one of the founding countries of the Eight-Nation Alliance. Naturally, it cannot take the initiative to demand the termination of the Eight-Nation Alliance. It can only be when most countries agree that Britain can follow the trend. Germany has its own plans until the end, and encouraged the Austro-Hungarian Empire to respond to Japan's proposals. It is an explanation for overseas Chinese. Although Germany has always encouraged Russia to focus on the East, there is an opportunity to isolate Russia, and it will never miss it. This time France stood up to oppose Russia, while Germany insisted until the end, making the general trend, and was unable to help it, winning Russia's favor, and waiting for an opportunity to promote the relationship between the French-Russian alliance.

Dmitryev's heart was shocked. At this time, he understood that this meeting was the two countries who joined forces to play Russia, because the seven countries of Britain, France, Germany, the United States, Japan, Italy and the Olympics agreed to make such a major decision as "stop the alliance of the Eight-Nation Alliance and hold separate talks with overseas Chinese." If there is nothing wrong with it, then it is a ghost? They must have discussed it a long time ago, and they negotiated with overseas Chinese, so they made such a unified decision, just to hide it from Russia. What was to betray Russia. Of course, Russia launched a crisis on the Korean Peninsula; despite the opposition of the Eight-Nation Alliance, unilaterally decided to send troops southward, which actually seriously damaged the Eight-Nation Alliance, and was ignored by Dmitryev.

So Dmitryev stood up angrily and said, "Since all countries have made a decision, the Eight-Nation Alliance will be officially cancelled from today. Russia will no longer participate in any actions of the alliance. It will decide to use means that are beneficial to Russia's interests and lose its companion." After that, Dmitryev turned around and left the conference room, and used a lot of effort to push the door of the conference room to close it, making a huge sound.
