"Damn Italians, how did we choose them to be our allies?" William II was furious in his office. Although it has been decided to temporarily compromise with the Allied Powers, William II is still very unwilling in his heart.
If the Kingdom of Italy can stand up and express its full support for the German Empire, perhaps Germany can continue to be tough. Perhaps, the situation will change.
William II didn't need to think about it, but this time Germany's compromise and concession again would have a great impact on the country. Even his prestige will be greatly affected by this. This made William II very angry.
"Father, the Italians are always two-faced and always thinking about their own interests. It is impossible to get them to support us unconditionally. Not to mention, once the war starts, it will also be related to their own fate. It's understandable that they hesitate to move forward." Qin Tian looked at it very openly, and was not angry because of the Italian's performance. Of course, this is because Qin Tian already knew this would be the result. He has always been on guard against the Italians, so that even without the help of the Italians, Germany can still win in future wars.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness is right. The Italians have never thought about fulfilling their obligations as allies. Therefore, if a war breaks out in the future, we cannot expect too much from the Italians." Prime Minister Bernha T. von Bülow sighed.
"Your Majesty, although we have compromised on the issue of Morocco, we can make up for it in other ways. In this case, there is an explanation for the people in the country." Von Kidren Vahi Te said.
King William II nodded, feeling a little better.
"Everyone, no matter what, this incident is a shame for the German Empire. We must keep this shame in mind. In the future, we must defeat them and wash away this shame!" William II looked fierce.
William II hated the Italians for being ineffective at critical moments and being double-faced. But what he hates the most is still Britain and France. In order to curb the rise of the German Empire, Britain and France have exhausted their minds. They provoked the German Empire time and time again, causing the German Empire not only to lose face, but also to lose a lot of benefits. This is naturally unacceptable to William II.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone replied.
They all know that there is only one way for the German Empire to rise. That is to defeat Britain and France through war in the future, dominate Europe, and then dominate the entire world. And for their own interests, and to maintain the old world colonial system. The British and French, of course, will spare no effort to contain the German Empire. This is almost an irreconcilable contradiction. Therefore, there is no other way but to go to war. In order to win, both sides can be said to do everything possible.
The second Moroccan crisis ended peacefully under the active concession of Germany. The two sides signed the Treaty of Fez, and Morocco officially became a protectorate of France. Of course, France gave up part of the French Congo as a price. It can be regarded as leaving a little face for Germany. Otherwise, Germany will lose face this time.
Rao is like this, all social classes in Germany are also quite dissatisfied with this German compromise. Many elites even pointed out that Germany cannot just compromise and give in. In that case, Germany will lose more interests. Only in World War I can Germany's interests be guaranteed as much as possible.
It's just that war is not a child's play, and it can't be decided in a sentence or two. Once there is a war, there is no way out. If it wins, that's good, and Germany will soar into the sky and become the world's hegemon. But if defeated, the consequences are also unimaginable. Therefore, no one dared to take the risk. No one wants to go to war until they are fully prepared.
This is not only true of Germany, but also the member states of the Allied Powers. Therefore, the international situation seems to be very tense. However, it seems that the war will not start at all for a while. Of course, it is not ruled out that emergencies will break out, which will lead to war.
Kingdom of Italy, Rome, in the Royal Palace. King Vittorio Emanuele III was speaking to Prime Minister Giovanni Giolitti.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, we rejected the request of the Germans and did not show support for them. I am afraid that this will make the Germans hold grudges. After all, we are allies with the Germans. It may be inappropriate to offend them like this! Vittorio Emanuele III worried.
"Your Majesty, the reason why you did not express your support for Germany is entirely for the benefit of the Kingdom of Italy. If Germany and France break out of war because of the Morocco issue, the consequences will be very serious. The Allied Powers and the Entente Powers will go to war because of this. If we want to fulfill If the covenant is not established, then we will also be involved in the war. This will be very detrimental to the Kingdom of Italy." Prime Minister Giovanni Giolitti said.
Vittorio Emanuele III nodded. Like many Italian officials, he was not optimistic about the Germans. After all, Britain, France and Russia are not vegetarians. Especially the British, who have been the hegemony of the world for hundreds of years, did not do it for nothing. There are so many countries that once wanted to challenge the British Empire, but in the end they all ended in failure.
If the Kingdom of Italy follows Germany to challenge the United Kingdom, it’s okay to win, and they will get a lot of benefits from it. But if you lose, the consequences will be very serious.
"Your Excellency, if war breaks out, will the Germans win?" Vittorio Emanuele III asked.
"Your Majesty, it is very difficult to say. Although the German military power is constantly developing. However, judging from the current situation, they are undoubtedly at a disadvantage." Prime Minister Giovanni Giolitti said.
Vittorio Emanuele III nodded in recognition of this point of view.
"Your Majesty, with the help of this time the Morocco issue has attracted the attention of European powers, our long-prepared plan can be implemented!" Giovanni Giolitti said.
Vittorio Emanuele III's eyes suddenly brightened.
"Now that you are ready, let's proceed! Restoring the glory of the great Roman Empire will start now!" Vittorio Emanuele III said excitedly.
