"Damn the Germans, they don't agree with the legitimate interests of the empire in Italy! It's really abhorrent. The Germans are clearly crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, which is a betrayal of their allies." After leaving the palace and sitting back in the car , Crown Prince Karl roared angrily. Because of being too angry, his face became ferocious, looking very terrifying.
"His Royal Highness, what kind of request did you make to His Majesty the German Emperor?" asked Baron Berchdold, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
"I demand that Italy pay 50 billion crowns to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, cede Venice and the territory to the east to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and at the same time transfer all Italian colonies to the Austro-Hungarian Empire." Crown Prince Karl said.
Baron Berchdold was already dumbfounded. These requests made by Crown Prince Karl have never been discussed with him at all! There is no doubt that this is a decision he made without authorization. In Baron Berchdold's view, these demands were simply too much.
"Your Highness, is such a request too harsh? No wonder the Germans disagree." Baron Berchdold said.
"Is it harsh? I don't think so. These requirements are compared with the conditions put forward by the Germans to France." Crown Prince Karl said.
"Uh..." Baron Bercidold was immediately speechless.
Germany has extorted a lot of benefits from France, which is indeed jealous. However, this does not mean that the Austro-Hungarian Empire will be able to reap so many benefits from Italy as well! Italy is not the same as France, they are not as rich as France. What's more, the interests of France are monopolized by Germany, while the interests handed over by Italy are divided between Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This is an essential difference! Among other things, Libya, one of Italy's overseas colonies, everyone knows that it is valued by the Germans. The Austro-Hungarian Empire actually wanted to take over all of Italy's colonies. Isn't that a tiger's mouth?
"Your Highness, I am afraid that the Germans will not give up the Libyan colony." Baron Berchdold said.
"The Germans have already used so many colonies, aren't they afraid of indigestion? Besides, the oil in Libya is also very important to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. If we can exploit the oil there, it will give us a huge sum of money. The wealth of the empire. At that time, the empire will be able to use this money to solve those problems in the empire." Crown Prince Karl said.
Baron Bercidold couldn't say anything more. He just thinks that Crown Prince Karl's imagination of everything is too simple. This will not only damage the relationship between Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but also add many variables to the peace talks this time.
"Your Highness, can we lower our requirements appropriately? In this case, it may be easier to reach an agreement. For example, the war indemnity is reduced to five billion crowns. The territory east of Venice can be ceded to us by Italy. In terms of colonies, we can As long as Italy belongs to East Africa. In this case, we may soon be able to reach an agreement and sign a peace treaty." Baron Berchdold said.
"What? Your Excellency the Baron, what do you mean? You are seriously damaging the interests of the empire!" Crown Prince Karl was very dissatisfied. It is believed that the conditions proposed by Baron Berchdold constituted serious damage to the interests of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
"Your Highness, I am also thinking of the interests of the empire." Baron Bercidold retorted.
"Okay, Your Excellency the Baron, just listen to me this time. I believe that this time I will bring more benefits to the empire." Crown Prince Karl said nonchalantly.
Baron Berchdold, had no choice but to say no more. Dameisha, he believes that Crown Prince Karl's actions will definitely have a negative impact on the interests of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. But unfortunately, Crown Prince Karl couldn't listen to him at all.
The next day, it was the peace negotiations between Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy.
Negotiations were still conducted in the conference room of the German Reich Foreign Office. A big round table, three parties sitting around the round table. On the German side, Foreign Minister Vachter was in charge of negotiations, and on the Austrian side, Crown Prince Karl and Foreign Minister Berchdold. The Kingdom of Italy is Foreign Minister Paul Bocelli.
"His Royal Highness, Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Kingdom of Italy has deeply realized our mistakes. We should not listen to the slander of the British and French, be seduced by them, and betray our alliance. Fortunately, our alliance finally Still won the war. The Kingdom of Italy wants to repent now, and I hope that Germany and Austria-Hungary can see us as allies and give us a chance." Paul Bocelli put his attitude very low.
How harsh are the terms of the peace treaty signed between Germany and France. Paul Bocelli knew this. Italian King Vittorio Emanuele III and Prime Minister Antonio Sarandra asked Paul Bocelli to find a way to avoid When this happens, try to keep as many interests as possible for the Kingdom of Italy.
This put a lot of pressure on Paul Boselli. If possible, he even wanted to kneel down and beg Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire to forgive them. But unfortunately, that's simply not possible. Neither Germany nor the Austro-Hungarian Empire will miss this good opportunity to blackmail Italy.
"The Kingdom of Italy shamelessly betrayed our alliance, posing a huge threat to the entire alliance and causing great losses. This is not something that can be forgiven with a few words of repentance!" Crown Prince Karl said with a stern expression on his face. .
"Yes, His Royal Highness is right, the Kingdom of Italy must pay the price for your actions!" German Foreign Minister Vachter also said.
"His Royal Highness, Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Kingdom of Italy is willing to compensate Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire for what we have done. However, the Kingdom of Italy is not rich, so I hope that Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire will be merciful. If the conditions are too harsh If we don't, we can't be satisfied. In that case, it will be very detrimental to us!" Paul Boselli said.
"If Italy cannot meet our requirements, then our army will crush Rome! I think, under such circumstances, Italy will definitely be able to meet our requirements!" Crown Prince Karl's attitude is very firm, determined to be ruthless Slaughter Italy.
