Bab 208: Chapter 199: Heading to Russia

Arthur's words left William II and his German associates pondering for quite some time, even debating the latest decisions throughout the following evening.

Nonetheless, the next morning witnessed as usual the commencement of a new day of negotiation.

Clearly, on this second day, the German officials and William II had abandoned their previous insistence on the German alliance, choosing not to persevere with the establishment of a German alliance, but instead introducing a new topic – a non-aggression treaty between Germany and Russia, also known as the German-Russian Neutrality Treaty.

William II's proposed conditions for supporting Russia had not changed; Germany was still willing to provide Russia with an unconditional aid of one hundred million Marks, coupled with a low-interest loan amounting to five hundred million Marks.
