Qin Tian's reason is undoubtedly far-fetched. However, this time Germany made it clear that it was not going to share the benefits handed over by France with the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Qin Tian believed that Crown Prince Karl should have understood what he meant.
Crown Prince Karl certainly understood what Qin Tian meant, and a trace of shame and anger flashed in his eyes. Qin Tian actually used the reason that the Austro-Hungarian Empire did not send troops to participate in the attack on France to exclude the Austro-Hungarian Empire from claiming war compensation from France. This is simply preposterous.
If it were another person, the anger of Crown Prince Karl must have erupted long ago. However, what he is facing now is the crown prince of the most powerful empire in the world. This person who is one year younger than him is already the most powerful person in the world. This made Crown Prince Karl feel a little bit of fear while being full of jealousy. Perhaps, even he himself didn't know that he would be afraid of Qin Tian!
"Your Majesty, even so, I still believe that the Austro-Hungarian Empire has the right to obtain part of France's compensation." Crown Prince Karl insisted.
"Your Highness, how about this, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will negotiate with France on its own. How much benefit you can get from France depends on your own." Qin Tian said impatiently. Crown Prince Karl obviously didn't know how to advance or retreat. His words were already very clear, but Crown Prince Karl still held on.
Crown Prince Karl became more and more angry. In his opinion, what Qin Tian said was really shameless. Let the Austro-Hungarian Empire negotiate with France on its own, so what benefits can they gain from the French? France was almost squeezed dry by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Besides, as long as Germany instigates France a little bit, France will ignore the demands of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Therefore, it is almost impossible for the Austro-Hungarian Empire to benefit from the French.
Thinking of this, Crown Prince Karl knew that it was almost impossible for the Austro-Hungarian Empire to kill the French. In addition to regretting in his heart, he also hated Germany even more.
"Well, Your Majesty, the Austro-Hungarian Empire can give up its claim for compensation from France. However, in the next negotiations with Italy, the interests of the Austro-Hungarian Empire must be guaranteed. After all, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is the main force in the war against Italy. We Hundreds of thousands of troops were sent to fight against Italy. Therefore, we should occupy the main position in Italy's compensation!" Crown Prince Karl continued.
France's compensation, the Austro-Hungarian Empire seems to not want it anymore. Therefore, he can only focus on Italy. The Austro-Hungarian Empire sent hundreds of thousands of troops to fight against Italy, so in the negotiations with Italy, it is completely reasonable for Crown Prince Karl to occupy more shares.
Qin Tian smiled, he knew that this was the real intention of Crown Prince Karl, he wanted to gain more benefits from the Kingdom of Italy. However, although the Austro-Hungarian Empire sent hundreds of thousands of troops to fight Italy, their real role was not as good as the tens of thousands of German troops.
"Your Highness, the interests of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in Italy naturally need to be guaranteed. However, everything can only be determined after negotiations." Qin Tian said.
"This is natural. Your Majesty, I hope that during the negotiations, the German Empire can support the reasonable demands of the Austro-Hungarian Empire." Crown Prince Karl said. He seemed to think that Germany would certainly support their demands.
"What requirements does your country have during the peace talks with Italy?" Qin Tian asked.
"The Austro-Hungarian Empire hopes that Italy can compensate us with 50 billion crowns! In addition, Italy needs to cede Venice in the north, that is, the area east of it, to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Italy's overseas colonies must also be transferred to the Austro-Hungarian Empire!" Crown Prince Karl Said.
After listening to Crown Prince Karl's request, Qin Tian couldn't help frowning. I have to admit that the appetite of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is not small. 50 billion kroner is equivalent to 40 billion marks. In addition, Germany has decided to demand compensation from Italy of 20 billion marks. If this is added up, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will have to pay 60 billion marks in compensation. The total war reparations they have to pay is even more than the war reparations that France needs to pay. However, the Kingdom of Italy is far less rich than France!
Although, the Kingdom of Italy was also a first-class power before the war. However, the time of unification was late, and the industry was not very developed, which made their economy not very good.
Of course, the Kingdom of Italy is not really without money. At the time of reunification, they plundered a lot of wealth. In particular, almost all the wealth of the Catholic Church fell into their hands. However, after decades, how much of that wealth is left is very difficult to say. Qin Tian was sure that the Kingdom of Italy simply couldn't afford that much money.
Qin Tian predicted that after the Kingdom of Italy paid the German Empire 20 billion marks in war reparations, there should not be much left.
In addition, the Austro-Hungarian Empire wants Italy to cede Venice and the surrounding area to them. You know, the vicinity of Venice can also be regarded as a relatively developed area in Italy. If those areas are lost, plus Sicily, which Germany has already booked, Italy will lose a lot of territory. In this way, Italy is severely weakened.
Italy has not many overseas colonies, only Libya and Italian East Africa, including Abyssinia, Eritrea and Somalia. Among them, the richest is undoubtedly Libya. Qin Tian's Deutsche Energy Company has produced oil there. Qin Tian also knew that Libya had the most oil among African countries. Therefore, Qin Tian had already made up his mind that the colony of Libya would be taken over by Germany. After all, Germany's demand for oil is also increasing day by day.
Although the Middle East is richer in oil, it is farther away than Libya. Qin Tian will not let go of the oil in the Middle East, and Qin Tian will not let go of the oil in Libya.
Now, Crown Prince Karl actually wants to accept all the overseas colonies of the Kingdom of Italy. Such an appetite is too great! In any case, Qin Tian would not agree. At most, Italian East Africa will be handed over to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Libya will never be handed over to them.
"His Royal Highness, the conditions of the Austro-Hungarian Empire are undoubtedly harsh. I think the Kingdom of Italy will definitely not agree to these conditions." Qin Tian said.
"If they don't agree, then we will send troops to Italy and destroy them completely!" Crown Prince Karl said firmly.
