MTL - Napoleon II Reborn-Chapter 572 Splendor of France (finale)
"Gentlemen, we have lost this war. This book is updated in real time. Although, perhaps you are as reluctant to admit it as I am. But it is true. Despite our efforts, in the end, we have lost. Fighting to Now, we have lost the entire navy. The French have not left us a single sampan. The army, so far, we have lost two million people in battle. And, on the battlefield, every time There are still soldiers who were brutally killed by the French. Now, it is time to end him. I have ordered Lord Paul to go to the French to discuss related matters.” In the city hall of Nashville , Adams said calmly. However, his complexion was very pale.
Before the war, the entire United States was so generous. All the people are silently dedicated to be able to defeat France. Politicians like them are also advocating every day how much benefit the United States will gain after defeating France. How rich the life of the people will be. But now, everything is like a dream. Now, the dream has woken up, and what awaits them will be cruel facts.
Brian, Zominsk, and Davis sat in front of Adams, watching him quietly, their faces also pale. The powerful United States, in this war, lost completely and completely. It is conceivable what kind of ending awaits them. The French will certainly not spare them lightly. If it wants to beg for peace, the United States does not know how much it will pay. In addition, Canadians are still staring at them, hoping to get a piece or two of féirou from the United States. [bsp;"Speak up, gentlemen. What shall we do next? What is the bottom line for negotiating with the Americans?" Adams said. He looks very old now. There is no previous decisiveness.
"Your Excellency, no matter what, the United States must exist as an independent country. Otherwise, all our efforts for so many years will be in vain." Bryan said first.
"The army must also be retained, and the navy is not necessary. But an army must be retained." Zominsk also said. Without a navy, it would automatically lose the conditions to compete with France for hegemony in the world. Retaining the Army can effectively safeguard the interests of the United States. This is especially needed after the Canadian was stabbed in the back. Otherwise, God knows whether the greedy Canadians will swallow up the United States without even the dregs left.
Adams nodded, and then asked: "Davis, what do you think?" Now, Henry has died in Washington. The affairs of the Ministry of War were handled by Zominsk himself. In any case, the current U.S. Army still has hundreds of troops. Although their morale is low and their weapons and equipment are not complete. Davis, the head of the Ministry of the Navy, is now doing nothing at all. Except for the few dozen people left in the Admiralty, there is no one left. The rest of the people have all picked up their guns and joined the army.
"Your Excellency, I fully agree with the words of His Excellency Brian and General Zominsk. However, the only thing we have to consider is how to get the French to agree to our conditions." Davis said.
Adams nodded. Now, the United States is the loser, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Everything they say doesn't count, and it doesn't count until the victor, the French. The defeated should have the consciousness of the defeated. It's just that they need to strive for the greatest interests for the United States.
"I think the French should not weaken us excessively. After all, after our failure, only Canada is left in North America. A strong Canada exists on the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean, which is not in the interest of France." Lane said. Therefore, it is entirely possible to preserve an independent United States.
"We can disperse our troops across the country. Once the Americans disagree with our demands, we will continue to fight. Just like the resistance to British colonial rule." Zominsk also said. At that time, thirteen colonists in the United States united to resist the brutal British rule. Compared with the United Kingdom, their strength is completely different. ??5? Read the latest chapters of this book But in the end, it was still the underdogs who won the final victory.
"Well! The United States must preserve its independence. In addition, it must have sufficient force to protect itself. I will tell Paul about this. General Zominsk, General Davis, now I need you to integrate the army. Once France If people do not agree with our conditions, then the war will continue. I hope you can guide the Americans to continue to fight." Adams said sincerely.
"Obey, Your Excellency the President! We will use our blood and lives to guarantee the independence of the United States." Zominsk and Davis said firmly.
After that, the two went to the north and south of the United States respectively to assemble the last army. Once negotiations break down and France rejects America's bottom line, they will keep the war going.
Unlike the gloomy clouds in the United States, France is now full of joy. With the successive victories of the frontline troops, when one victory after another came, the whole of France fell into a sea of joy. Every time the government announces how many American troops have been annihilated and captured, and how many places have been occupied, it makes people extremely excited. It seems that the unbearable living conditions and other social contradictions are not insurmountable.
When the Americans begged for surrender, Xiao Jie held a grand banquet at the Elysee Palace that night. All nobles, senior officials and generals in the country have all received the invitation.
At the beginning of the banquet, Xiao Jie said: "Gentlemen and ladies. Please raise your glass and praise our great country. Today, the Americans have sent out demonstrators, begging to surrender, begging us to give them peace .The great France has once again defeated a powerful enemy. Everyone, please give all the applause and blessings to the frontline soldiers, generals, and their families!"
"Long live France!" All the people raised their glasses and shouted loudly. Everyone's faces were filled with joyful smiles. France, after years of hard fighting, finally defeated the enemy again and won the final victory. All the enemies were trampled to the ground by France. After this war, in the whole world, no country will be an opponent of France.
After the grand dinner, Xiao Jie, together with cabinet members and military giants, discussed all night before summing up a set of negotiation conditions for the United States. Among them, it will try its best to maximize the benefits for France, and at the same time, it will not weaken the United States too much, so that Canada will dominate North America.
French Minister of Foreign Affairs Grigio, as France's plenipotentiary envoy, will start negotiations with the United States in Paris.
Negotiations started from the end of September to the beginning of October. After nearly ten days of wrangling, the two sides finally reached a consensus and signed the treaty. When the French representative Gregory and the American representative Paul signed the treaty, it meant that the war was officially over.
In this war, the United States lost a complete defeat.
The treaty stipulates: 1. The United States admits defeat. And, compensate France for war reparations of 500 million francs. Second, cede to France the Florida peninsula and the area west of the Mississippi River. Third, the U.S. Navy shall not retain warships of more than 2,000 tons, and the total naval strength shall not exceed 50,000. Fourth, the U.S. Army can only retain a maximum of 20 divisions of troops. Fifth, the United States unilaterally grants France most-favored-nation treatment. Sixth, France enjoys consular jurisdiction. seven,…
This treaty not only caused the United States to lose a large area of land, but also restricted its military power. At the same time, the huge amount of compensation has also placed a heavy burden on the United States. The most-favored-nation treatment gave French products a great advantage in the United States, and even once controlled the American economy because of this, plundering a large amount of American wealth.
After the signing of the treaty, most of the French troops withdrew from the United States, leaving only the 4th Army stationed in the Florida Peninsula and the Mississippi area. At the same time, it also serves to monitor the United States and ensure that the United States fully implements the treaty.
After the war between France and the United States is over, the war between Canada and the United States is still in full swing. Canada followed France in occupying large swaths of the northern United States. Over these territories, the two countries waged a decade-long war. At the beginning, Canada had the upper hand and almost took Washington. However, at this time, France has fully played the role of balancing North America. Secretly gave the United States a certain amount of support, allowing them to persevere in Canada's fierce offensive. And shorten the gap between the two sides.
Finally, in 1844, the two sides signed a treaty that ended the war. This is also a last resort. The national strength of the two countries has been severely consumed by the war. If the war continues, they will soon be worn down by the war. In the end, Canada acquired the land of the entire Great Lakes region, turning the Great Lakes into the inner lakes of Canada~www.novelbuddy.com~, which further weakened the national power of the United States.
After the war, France became the most powerful country in the world. From the Ural Mountains in the east to the American continent on the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean. No country is a match for France. The whole of Europe has completely crawled under the feet of France, and the vast South America has also completely become a French colony. By quickly plundering the wealth of the American continent, France's economic conditions have been quickly improved. Moreover, Xiao Jie took many measures to limit the monopoly of France, and invested the national strength of the mainland in projects for people's livelihood and improving people's living standards. This minimizes social conflicts in France.
Externally, French Vega has joined the domestic market, and internally, it has resolved social conflicts and achieved peace and prosperity for the country and the people. In 1845, Xiao Jie abdicated and passed the throne to Borchardt, passing on a glorious France. He can finally put aside this heavy burden and indulge in the mountains and rivers.
