Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Just as Daxia was negotiating with South American countries for common development, the Hans Empire also made a major breakthrough on the battlefield in Europe.

After annihilating Ori's Purple Flower Infantry Division, the Hans Empire was in full swing.

The Imperial Division led the Bavarian Infantry Division to counterattack the Marne River defense line, and cooperated with the main force to successfully break through the Marne River defense line. Since then, the Marne River defense line has collapsed.

In order to prevent the troops on the other line of defense from being similarly encircled, the Gallic headquarters could only ask the troops defending the Somme to retreat to Paris.

Get ready to fight a world-class defense battle in Paris.

In order to avoid the defeat of its allies and fall into a situation of fighting alone, the John Empire could only grit its teeth and send troops to Paris.

The same Millennium reinforcements also arrived in Paris. Once the troops from several parties were combined, the total number was more than a million troops.

And this force established a defensive circle around Paris and prepared to defend Paris to the death.

However, at this critical moment, large-scale protests occurred in the southern part of the Gallic Empire, even affecting the defense perimeter of Paris.

These protesters feel that there is no point in continuing the war and that the war should be ended with dignity.

For this reason, several provinces in the southern part of the Gallic Empire broke away from Paris' control and formed a provisional coalition government. Announced negotiations with the Allies.

In order to weaken the resistance in Paris, the Allies agreed to negotiate with the southern provisional government, withdrew their troops preparing to go to the south, and placed their main forces near Paris.

Faced with the loss of control of southern cities, Paris also began to hesitate. A considerable number of people among the senior officials of the Gallic Empire felt that since the war had reached this point, failure was inevitable.

So is there any need on our side to lose the whole of Paris for a war that is impossible to win?

Some of them believe that this war must still be fought, at least until the Allies have suffered heavy losses, and then negotiate peace with the other side, so that some overseas colonies can be retained and Gaul's losses can be minimized.

Others feel that this requires weighing the importance of overseas colonies and Paris.

In order to protect overseas colonies, is it worth losing the entire cultural capital Paris?

You know, Paris now can be said to be the cultural and economic center of the entire Europe. If such a priceless city was baptized by war, it would be eternal pain for the Gallic Empire.

It would not be impossible to say that just giving up part of the overseas colonies and retaining some of the best parts of the colonies could save Paris from the war.

What's more, many southern cities are now out of control. It is far better to regain the southern cities than to stick to a few less valuable overseas colonies.

The two factions expressed their opinions like this, and no one could convince the other.

After several days of quarreling, and seeing that the Allies outside the city were ready to attack, Paris finally made up its mind to prepare for peace talks with the Allies.

Of course, the tone of this peace negotiation has been set within the Gallic country itself. On the Gaul side, firstly, the Allies must recognize the southern provisional government, and secondly, the Allies must withdraw from the territory of the Gallic Kingdom and ensure that the Gallic Kingdom territorial integrity.

As for the territory ceded to the Allies, it is limited to a few islands in central and southern Africa and the Caribbean. As for the essence of northern Africa, it is non-negotiable.

If the Allies can accept it, then the Gallic Empire is willing to sign a contract with the Allies.

If they don't agree, then the Gallic Empire would rather fight to the end.

However, of course, this peace negotiation avoided the John Empire. After all, there were many conflicts between Gaul and the John Empire. In the past, everyone reluctantly cooperated because of the problems of the Allies.

Now that the war has failed, the Gallic Empire feels that all this was caused by the John Empire's initial desire to preserve its strength and its unwillingness to fully support itself, which led to the current situation.

Therefore, in this matter, the Gauls are very willing to cheat the John Empire once.

However, since the Gallic Empire has completely severed contact with the Hans Empire, it is not easy to contact the other party.

In addition, the city of Paris has been surrounded, and the diplomats in the city have no way to leave the city, so Paris can only contact a third party to contact the Hans Empire.

The most suitable middleman is the Daxia Empire.

Although the Daxia Empire was also a member of the Allied Powers, Daxia had never fought against Gaul. Even during Annan, Gaul and Daxia had a tacit understanding. The Gallic troops in Annan were safely withdrawn to the mainland.

More importantly, Bactria did not expel the Gaul ambassador, and Gaul did not expel the Bactrian ambassador.

Therefore, he was the only member of the Allied Powers that the high-level officials of Gaul could contact in a short period of time.

When Daxia received a request from Gaul, hoping to start negotiations with the Allies, the personnel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Daxia Empire did not react for a while.

But when the people of the Gallic Empire repeated their words again, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Great Xia Empire fell into madness. They knew exactly what this negotiation meant.

So people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Daxia immediately reported the matter to Li Fu. Li Fu also reported this matter to the Imperial Military Department.

Now everyone in the military department knew that the war was coming to an end and was about to end.

Regardless of the fact that the Daxia Empire's attack direction this time was mainly in Siberia, the Far East, and Southeast Asia. In these places, except for a few tough battles with the Rakshasa Empire in Siberia, it seemed that other battlefields were easily won.

But the empire knew that in this war, the empire also paid nearly [-] casualties.

Some of these casualties were caused by the environment, but many also occurred on the battlefield.

Regardless of the fact that the empire only suffered [-] casualties, compared to the tens of millions of casualties on the European battlefields, it seems to be very few. But you must know that behind this, the empire has paid a great price to reduce the casualties.

Let's put it this way, in every war, especially in the attacks on Khmer, Siberia, and the Far East, the amount of ammunition consumed by the empire was not much less than in a major war in Europe.

And now, this war is finally coming to an end.

Of course, it was precisely because of this war that the empire re-established its position as the hegemon in East Asia.

Not only that, the empire also firmly controlled the Western Pacific and built a defense line across the two oceans. In particular, the control of the Strait of Malacca turned the Sumatra Sea and the South China Sea into the inland sea of ​​the empire.

At the same time, the Empire also planted a nail in the Eastern Pacific, which gave the Empire absolute control over the Pacific region.

In South America, the empire is still negotiating with various countries, but at present, the prospects are very good. At least the empire can have a certain say in South America.

Compared with the goals set by the empire before the start of the war, all of this has already exceeded the mission.

Therefore, at this stage, the empire feels that it is ready to start peace talks.

Therefore, after the Military Ministry asked Zhao Xu for instructions, the Empire's Ministry of Foreign Affairs also began to operate at full capacity, preparing to facilitate this peace negotiation.
