The next day, the Gallic delegates reluctantly arrived at Sunset.
Originally, they did not want to accept the mediation of the sun that never sets, but now the hundreds of thousands of German troops are eyeing the border areas, and even the gateway to the north of the Gallic capital, Metz, is in the hands of the Germans.
In this case, the Gauls also hoped that the war would end as soon as possible and did not want to continue fighting.
If they really continue to fight, the flames of war will definitely burn on their own soil.
These regions in northern Gaul had already been severely affected by the last Franco-Prussian War.
The cities, factories and farmland in the north were badly damaged by the fighting.
It took them a long time to rebuild it, and if there was another war here, it would be in vain for more than twenty years.
Therefore, even in the midst of war mobilization, the Gauls did not want to fight anymore.
If this war can be ended peacefully, then they will have to try.
The sun never sets, and the people were somewhat dissatisfied with the belated arrival of the Gauls.
"This group of Gauls is really arrogant, everyone else has arrived, and they are grinding!"
"Hehe, even if they delay for a long time, won't they still come obediently?"
"That's right, as long as the Gauls come to 417, it means that they are finally willing to bow their arrogant heads to us and admit that we are the overlords of the world!"
Thinking of this result, the sun never set reluctantly forgave the Gauls for being late.
However, not blaming them does not mean that they will not be pitted, and the sun does not set in the subsequent negotiations between Gaul and the Second Empire, intentionally or unintentionally, on the side of the Second Empire, helping the Second Empire to pit Gaul together.
With the help of the sun never set, plus the Germans had the upper hand in the war.
Bismarck's attitude at the negotiating table was very tough.
"As the instigators of this war, you Gauls should take full responsibility for provoking the war without permission, and compensate us for the loss of men and property!"
The war was provoked by the Gauls, and more than 200,000 Gallic troops made their way to the Second Empire.
These were facts that the Gauls could not deny, and with these facts, Bismarck was able to claim war reparations from the other side with confidence.
Regarding Bismarck's request, the sunset people, who were already pulling the shelf, did not feel that there was anything wrong with it.
They nodded and agreed:
"Gaul tore up the peace treaty, provoked wars, and invaded the territory of the Second Empire, causing a lot of (CGFJ) economic and property losses, and should be liable for compensation!"
The Gauls, naturally, refused to bear the liability, and they quibbled:
"Although we have invaded your territory, you have also invaded our territory, and even the city of Metz is still in your hands, so that even if our two countries are even, no one owes anyone!"
How could Bismarck accept such a quibble from the other side, he retorted:
"I beg your opinion, I disagree, this war was initiated by you on your own initiative, and we were only forced to fight back in self-defense, the nature of the two is completely different, please do not deliberately confuse the representatives of your country!"
The sun never sets nodded, agreeing with Bismarck's statement.
"It's really different!"
"What's different? They captured our big city Mace, did we capture their city?"
The Gallic representative jumped to his feet angrily and retorted loudly.
The sun never sets when he saw the Gallics jumping like thunder, and they felt very relieved in their hearts.
They just love to see this old enemy eat deflated!
"No, no, no, I heard that after your army invaded the territory of the Second Empire, they wanted to occupy those lands and not leave, so they set fire to all the local Hansi villages, causing serious property damage.
On the other hand, the Germans did not commit any crimes after they invaded your territory, did not cause any damage, and did not deliberately set fire to the nearby villages, so you did not have any real property losses!"
If Bismarck had spoken these words, the persuasiveness would have been much less convincing. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
But the words of the objective and neutral mediator on which the sun never sets immediately raised the credibility to a notch.
Hearing that the sun does not set, the Gauls were terrified!
They didn't expect that the sun never set would know so clearly about the things in the battle, could it be that this was told to them by the Second Empire?
The Gallic representative looked at Bismarck suspiciously, but Bismarck was also a little surprised in his heart.
They didn't take the initiative to tell the sun about these things, but the sun didn't set as if they were on the scene, and they knew these things clearly.
This is more intriguing!
It seems that they have a very powerful underground intelligence network within the empire, at least in the Rhine region, otherwise, they would not have known so clearly what is happening on the battlefield in such a short time!
Thinking of this, Bismarck silently wrote down this matter in his heart, and when he returned home, he would personally report the matter to His Majesty Andrews, and strive to destroy the intelligence network on which the sun never sets as soon as possible.
Otherwise, I am afraid that many things in the Second Empire will not be able to hide from the eyes of the sun!
...... []
At the negotiating table, the Gauls were already in a very disadvantageous position.
Since Andrews did not seek any land in Gaul, and the border area between the two countries was mountainous and primeval forests, it was useless to hold such a territory, but would expose the ambitions of the empire.
So he was not prepared to make any claims for land, and the Germans were disciplined, and under the control of officers at all levels, they did not destroy as the French did.
As a result, the German invasion of Gaul was diametrically opposed to that of the Second Reich.
A military discipline is strict, and Qiu has not committed any crimes.
A military discipline is corrupted, and the army is like Satan from hell, sweeping away the areas they have occupied.
Such a clear gap can be discerned by anyone's own naked eye.
Therefore, in the face of the ironclad evidence in front of them, the Gauls could not deny it if they wanted to.
What's more, the sun never sets on the sidelines, which makes it even more difficult for them to take any advantage from the negotiating table.
"It seems that Mr. Representative also knows that your country is at fault, since this is the case, then let's discuss the matter of compensation!"
Bismarck saw that the other party's mentality was shaken, so he immediately opened his mouth and shifted the topic to the amount of compensation.
"How many do you want?
It seems that realizing that they had to make reparations, so the Gallic representatives also resigned to their fate.
Bismarck breathed a sigh of relief, since the other party is willing to compensate, then it's easy to say!
"This is a list of losses on our side, all the losses are counted on it, if you don't believe it, you can let the mediator country of the sun never set send someone to verify!"
Bismarck was obviously prepared, and when he saw that the other party was relieved, he immediately took out a dense statistical table and listed all their losses.
Let the other party know at a glance how much they want to compensate!
"Two billion francs?"
Seeing the string of numbers in the last line, the Gallic representative let out an exclamation!
