Chapter 553: Chapter 433: Sydney Negotiations

As France and Germany resumed intense fighting in the Verdun region, peace talks between the Netherlands and Australasia officially began in the distant lands of America.

Since December 15 of last year, the Netherlands and Australasia had entered a temporary period of peace.

Both parties carried out military management in their respective occupied regions, and the peace talks were scheduled for February 3, more than a month later.

This is easy to understand since, although the Netherlands is also a monarchical country, the power of the Dutch monarch was greatly reduced decades ago. The current Dutch Queen, Wilhelmina, has little power, and the government is controlled by political parties.

The Dutch government needed not only time to reach a unified consensus but also time to travel to Australasia in person for the peace talks.

The talks took place in Sydney, with Australasia's goal being to secure a favorable outcome on home turf.
