The first peace negotiations between Prussia and France officially began, with Prussia represented by Mao Qi, and France represented by Wenpufen.
Wenpufen requested an honorable surrender, allowing the French Army to leave with their weapons and supplies. Essentially, he asked for an exorbitant price, intending for the Prussian side to negotiate it down.
Mao Qi directly rejected all of Wenpufen's requests, insisting that the current French Army must disarm until a final peace agreement is reached.
Prussia would not let a tiger return to the mountain. Taking down the Chalon Corps meant crippling France's most elite combat forces, effectively paralyzing France.
Moreover, the enmity between Prussia and France was deeply rooted. Over the past 200 years, France had waged 30 wars against Prussia, especially the humiliation brought by Napoleon I.
