The autumn wind rolled up the yellow leaves and brought the joy of harvest. The European War, which lasted for more than a year, is over, and now is the time to reap the fruits of victory.

The Vienna Grand Hotel, which used to be unattainable, is now overcrowded. The soaring source of customers has made Drost a headache as a lobby manager.

Working in the most luxurious hotel in the world, I have to meet big people from all walks of life every day. Drost is also used to seeing big winds and waves.

The Vienna Hotel is not unavailable when it is full. In the past, any major events and celebrations will be full.

Anyway, the hotel has its own rules, whoever makes a reservation first, no one dares to make trouble here.

This time is different. Since the news of a peace meeting in Vienna came out, the number of bookings has been blown up.

According to incomplete statistics, the people who have been determined to live in include seven kings, hundreds of nobles, and dozens of dignitaries from various countries.

There is no doubt that there can be only one person participating in the peace meeting, and these big figures are all with the delegation. Choosing to stay at the Vienna Hotel is naturally because of face.

Regardless of the fact that the room rates of the Vienna Hotel seem to be unattainable, they are actually aimed at ordinary local tyrants. The big people stay at the same price.

This is also mutual benefit. The sky-high room rate and high-end service bring out everyone's distinguished status. Anyway, as long as you don't say it, no one knows that the discount will be discounted; the stay of the great nobles has improved the hotel's class.

It is always free for top nobles like kings and grand princes to stay. Fortunately these years, the nobles are more face-saving, and if they are left in later generations, there may be a bunch of exiled monarchs coming over to eat and drink.

The big people get together and the problem arises. Nobles are also humans, and there are also conflicts with each other, and conflicts are inevitable.

That's all, the nobles also have to face, unless they drink too much, they can still maintain their cultivation under normal circumstances. If there is a conflict, it is not a hotel manager who can intervene.

Looking at the ranking list, Drost was almost bald with anxiety. There is no way, there are not enough rooms with matching identities!

The big shots also want face, and if their status and treatment do not match, they will turn their faces in minutes.

Headaches belong to headaches, and work is still needed. If you can't handle such little things, the manager Drost will end up.

...

At the Vienna Royal Opera, the nations of the Anti-French Alliance gathered together and started a closed-door meeting. If nothing goes wrong, the spoils-sharing meeting will end before the arrival of delegations.

As for the next Vienna Peace Conference, it is only a procedure to implement the content of the spoils conference.

"Your Excellency, the European War has just ended, is it wrong to put all the French warships for auction?"

Spanish Foreign Minister Behdade Salimi questioned. There is no way, who made the European War end? The war belonging to Spain is not over yet!

As a veteran power, even though it has fallen, the Spanish arrogance still exists. It doesn't matter if you are a little wronged in the European continent, it is because of your own strength. But the Japanese also came to do things, it would be unbearable.

In the past few months, the Philippine fleet has been almost annihilated, and even the Philippine Islands have been lost seven or eighty-eight, but the Spanish government still has not yielded.

What gives them confidence is the anti-French alliance. In accordance with the prior agreement, Austria gave a promise: After the victory of the European War, Spain will obtain part of the French fleet.

The warship that was said to have suddenly turned into an auction, and Behdad Salimi was naturally unacceptable. You know, the Spanish government is still waiting for the warship to teach the Japanese!

Weissenberg smiled and immediately promised: "Your Excellency, please rest assured that the Austrian promises in advance are still valid. There is no way to auction off the French warships.

Everyone knows how large the French navy is. In the just-concluded European War, Austria paid too high a price, and there was no plan to expand the navy in a short time.

We do not participate in the distribution, all are divided by everyone, I am afraid that the financial pressure on countries will be very heavy.

Moreover, the essence of the French Navy is only the hundred iron-clad ships, and the remaining auxiliary warships can only be considered tasteless. If there is no bundling, there will be no buyers at all.

If you want to get a part of the warship, just take it directly from the auction. Don't worry too much about the price, we can operate in the dark.

Of course, if someone is offering sky-high prices, there is no need to grab them. If the auction fails, we will sell you a batch of active warships at a low price afterwards. "

Weissenberg did not keep it secret, and Austria is indeed not interested in French warships. As for the news, whether the British believe it or not, no one will know.

This is just a small problem. The British can earn money if they are scammed. It is impossible to deal with the sale, and it is a big deal to accept the French warship.

It can't increase the combat effectiveness, and it can be used to scare people. As long as it does not pull out and the Royal Navy pk, there is no risk. The only drawback is that it hurts some money.

"The warship is just a small problem. You can deal with it whatever you want. Let's discuss how to deal with France!"

It was the representative of France who spoke. As the biggest victim of this war, Belgium is now a feather.

Not only the economic losses were heavy, but even the citizens were tossed out. At this moment, the Belgian government is busy calling on the exiled people to return to the country to rebuild their homes. It is really irrelevant to warships or warships.

If it cannot get enough compensation from the French, Belgium wants to rebuild its homeland, I am afraid it will be difficult.

Glancing at the crowd, Wesenberg stood up, took the pen and walked to the map on the wall, and drew a curve directly on the French mainland.

"Let's talk about the territory first. The map is here. If anyone is interested, please circle it first. If there is no doubt, it will be passed. If there is any objection, we will discuss it later.

This is the goal of Austria. We want to take back the homeland of Shenluo previously occupied by France, namely the Kingdom of Burgundy, the Duchy of Lorraine, and the province of Alsace. "

(The Kingdom of Burgundy: present-day Franche-Comté)

In terms of territorial area, the above-mentioned areas add up to less than 50,000 square kilometers, which is less than one-tenth of the French mainland.

The calculable value cannot just look at the territory. Just look at the economy. Alsace and the Kingdom of Burgundy are both important industrial and resource areas in France, and Lorraine is an important agricultural area.

Austria has won the above-mentioned regions, and France's industry has shrunk by a third, and its overall national strength has dropped by at least a quarter.

Oscar Jimenez was hesitant to speak, and from the standpoint of the Russian Empire, he naturally did not want Austria to continue to grow, but it was obviously not the time to intervene.

The Russian army only played soy sauce in this war, and its own right to speak was not high. Moreover, Austria is not a food alone. The four countries of Belgium, Switzerland, Saskatchewan, and West Asia are divided into France.

Jumping out to be a wicked person at this time has no effect at all except to offend people.

Watching other people circle on the map, Oscar Jimenez forced himself to resist his desire. There is no way, even if an enclave is allocated, the Russian Empire will not be able to operate it.

Everyone's expansion direction is carried out along the mainland, there is no conflict of interest between each other, and no one makes trouble, the scene is naturally harmonious.

"If there is no objection, then this will serve as a draft of the territorial sanctions against France after the war, and the specific details will be determined later."

Negotiations for the distribution of spoils are a complicated task, but one or two people cannot complete it. All countries come with teams.

All the people present are high-ranking officials from various countries, so they have to respect their identities and set the general direction. Negotiations on specific details and exchange of interests are still carried out by the people below.

After a pause, Wesenberg looked up, and everyone's complicated expressions were in full view. He doesn't care about everyone's ideas, as long as no one opposes it.

"Now we enter the next topic-war reparations. In principle, we should respect the wishes of all countries and determine their respective shares based on the actual situation and the contributions and sacrifices made to the war.

Now to determine the total amount of compensation, first count the war losses of various countries, and I will start with the beginning.

In the past year, Austria’s anti-French war totaled 742,300 dead, 2,141,600 injured, consumed 15.46 million tons of strategic materials, and spent 6.698 billion Aegis for war. The direct economic loss is as high as 18.6 billion Aegis, and the indirect economic loss is 56.4 billion Aegis..."

Water injection definitely exists. Austria's loss statistics have not yet been completed. Where is the accurate data?

Except that casualties are not easy to fabricate, which is basically true, there is serious water in other data.

The only thing everyone can be sure of is: As the main force in this anti-French war, the price Austria paid is certainly not small.

"Belgium killed 200,000 soldiers in this war, more than 5 million people were displaced, and civilian casualties exceeded 500,000. The economic loss is even impossible to calculate. The preliminary estimate is that it will not be less than 10 billion Aegis..."

Halfway through the conversation, the Belgian representative couldn't help but shed tears. There is no way, Belgium is really miserable after the war.

It can be said that once he returned to primitive society, the city was turned into ruins, and the factories and mines of Xiri are now long grass.

Compared with the 50 billion losses of the Austrian water injection version, the 10 billion losses of Belgium are genuine.

It's not that they don't want to inject water, they really can't inject it. The whole country is gone, the plate is so big in total, and everyone knows how much loss can be.

In view of the tragic experience in Belgium, everyone was willing to speak comfortably, and they didn't know how to speak.
