Landing in Britain to fight and completely defeating Britain is not a big problem for the current German Empire. After all, in addition to the strength of the British navy, the strength of the army is undoubtedly much worse. Once the British Navy is resolved, the British Army will undoubtedly be easily defeated by Germany.
As long as the German Navy controls the North Sea and the English Channel, it will undoubtedly be able to easily send the German Army to the British mainland. Of course, landing operations will cause a lot of casualties. However, if there is war, there will inevitably be casualties. As long as Britain can be destroyed, no matter how heavy the casualties are, it is undoubtedly acceptable.
If you can defeat the United Kingdom and become the first monarch in European history to conquer the United Kingdom with the army, this will undoubtedly be remembered in history. Therefore, William II is still very interested in this. He is an extremely proud and conceited man, and a man who hopes to build something.
"Your Majesty, Your Excellency the Prime Minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs are present."
"Well, let them in!" William II nodded.
Qin Tian also stopped talking. He knew that there must be something going on when the Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister met William II together.
"See Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" After Prime Minister Bernhard von Bülow and Foreign Minister von Kidren Wachter entered the office, they immediately saluted William II and Qin Tian.
"Please sit down, Your Excellency Prime Minister, Your Excellency Foreign Minister!" William II said with a smile. The current him, perhaps because he thinks that the war is already a sure thing, is in a very good mood.
"Your Majesty, we signed an armistice treaty with the Russians, which made our allies a little dissatisfied. The ambassador of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the Empire just left from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. On behalf of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, he expressed great indignation and believed that By doing this, the Reich disregarded the interests of Austria-Hungary," said Foreign Minister von Kiedren Waschter.
William II frowned suddenly. Before, they only cared about fighting for the interests of Germany, and they didn't seem to think of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at all. Only now did they realize that they had indeed ignored the feelings of the Austro-Hungarian Empire a little too much. However, from the standpoint of the German Empire, William II did not think there was anything wrong with his actions. Of course, in order to maintain the unity of the alliance when the war is not over, one should indeed consider the feelings of allies. After all, in the war, the Austro-Hungarian Empire still needs to contain some enemies for Germany.
"What do you think we should do?" William II asked.
"Your Majesty, in view of the situation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, can we consider transferring part of our interests to them? In this case, we can also maintain our ally relationship." Prime Minister Bernhard von Bülow said.
Giving out the benefits obtained, this naturally made William II feel a little bit reluctant. However, for the sake of the overall situation, he decided to generously give part of the benefits to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and let the Austro-Hungarian Empire and other countries know that following Germany will undoubtedly be popular and hot. In this way, more people will follow Germany. Even if Germany becomes a world hegemon, it needs the support of other countries. The world is not big, but it is not small either. Especially on the other side of the ocean, when there is another equally powerful country eyeing it, Germany needs the support of other countries even more.
However, Qin Tian has a different opinion on this.
"Father, Your Excellency Prime Minister, Your Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs. I have a different view on this." Qin Tian said.
"Oscar, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is our traditional ally and our staunch supporter. Don't you think we should transfer some of the benefits we have obtained to them?" William II asked.
"Of course, Father. The Austro-Hungarian Empire is indeed our ally. However, I don't think we should use the interests we get from Russia to satisfy their demands. Russia's interests are too important to us. We They can be satisfied with the interests of other places. For example, the Balkans. Didn’t the Austro-Hungarian Empire always hope to expand to the Balkans? After we have made a breakthrough on the Western Front, we can send an army to help them in the Balkans Let them complete their expansion on the Balkan Peninsula. As for the benefits obtained from Russia, we will keep it for ourselves to digest." Qin Tian said.
"Your Majesty, this seems to be a very good way. Compared with the Balkan Peninsula, the territories ceded to us by Russia are undoubtedly better. In addition, the Balkan Peninsula has always been an area where the Austro-Hungarian Empire penetrated, and the Empire cannot stand there. It is better to give the Balkans to the Austro-Hungarian Empire to meet their requirements." Foreign Minister von Kidren Wachter said.
"But, in that case, will the Austro-Hungarian Empire be dissatisfied with the Empire? The Austro-Hungarian Empire must know how much the Empire has gained from the Russians." Prime Minister Bernhard von Bülow was a little worried.
Although, the negotiations between the German and Russian cloth parties were conducted in secret. However, when spies from various countries are trying their best to investigate this information, it is impossible to keep it secret. Especially the Russian side, they are like a sieve in front of other countries, and all the information is easily snooped by others.
Therefore, the Austria-Hungary Empire undoubtedly knows how much benefit Germany has gained from Russia.
Think about it with your toes, Germany has acquired a large area of territory on the Eastern European Plain, but they have only acquired the barren Balkan Peninsula. This will naturally cause the rulers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to feel unbalanced. This is unavoidable. People often share adversity but not happiness. Not to mention the relationship between countries is undoubtedly more fragile.
"If the Austro-Hungarian Empire is still dissatisfied with this, we can consider giving them some benefits in other aspects. For example, in the Kingdom of Italy, allocate part of the territory to them. In terms of war reparations, we can also give them some. We try our best Let's do our best to meet their needs and eliminate their imbalance. If they still refuse to accept this, then I don't think the German Empire needs to accommodate them too much. After all, their role in the empire , is completely different from before the war!" Qin Tian expressed his opinion. Anyway, he strongly disagreed with the expansion of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the Eastern European plains. There, he has already regarded it as his own territory. In the future, it will be the front line against the Russian cloth party, so other countries will not be allowed to get involved.
