Crown Prince Karl is determined to bite off a piece of fat from Italy. The huge war reparations and other benefits that Germany received from the French have already made his eyes red like a hungry wolf. It was precisely because of this that he directly stated the requirements of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in front of Qin Tian.
Crown Prince Karl hopes that Germany can support the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In his view, this is fundamentally the legitimate interests of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. As an ally of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Germany supported the Austro-Hungarian Empire for granted.
It's just that Crown Prince Karl doesn't seem to think that the demands of the Austro-Hungarian Empire are too much. In particular, many of their requirements even overlap with those of Germany. Under such circumstances, would Germany still support Austria-Hungary? That is obviously impossible.
"His Royal Highness, it is impossible to give the colony of Libya to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Germany also needs that colony. What's more, before the war started, the German Empire made a huge investment there." Qin Tian said.
"Your Majesty, Germany has acquired a vast colony from France, so can't it give Libya to the Austro-Hungarian Empire?" Crown Prince Karl seemed a little disappointed and angry.
Qin Tian shook his head: "I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness, Italian East Africa can be given to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but Libya belongs to the Empire!"
Qin Tian's attitude was also very firm, and this attitude of not giving in an inch made Crown Prince Karl very angry.
"Damn! The Germans rely on their own strength and don't care about the interests of their allies? They are simply too shameless. Without the support of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, how could they have won this war?" Crown Prince Karl thought in his heart roared.
Crown Prince Karl was certainly dissatisfied, but from Qin Tian's standpoint, the role played by the Austro-Hungarian Empire in this war was really too small, but they dared to ask for so many benefits with the cheek. Take it seriously!
The meeting between Qin Tian and Crown Prince Karl ended up breaking up unhappy. The request made by Crown Prince Karl did not receive the support of Germany, which made Crown Prince Karl think that the Germans had betrayed them. For Germany, it is full of anger.
When Crown Prince Karl returned to the banquet hall, he directly asked the Austro-Hungarian delegation to return to the embassy. Baron Berchdold and Ambassador Jugenbrugger looked at each other. Because it is undoubtedly very rude. But Crown Prince Karl ignored him and left.
Baron Berchdold and Ambassador Jiugenbrugger had to say goodbye to the German officials, then left the palace and returned to the embassy.
"Your Majesty, are you and Crown Prince Karl very unhappy?" Prime Minister Bernhard von Bülow asked.
"Yes!" Qin Tian nodded.
"The Austro-Hungarian Empire is too greedy. They want Italy to compensate them with 40 billion marks, and at the same time cede to them the territory of Venice and the east. They also want to take over all of Italy's overseas colonies." Qin Tian continued. .
"The Austro-Hungarian Empire is indeed too greedy. Italy is not as rich as France. Even the empire only asked for 20 billion marks in war reparations. They actually want 40 billion marks. It seems that the empire is in France The ruthless knife on the person stimulated them." Prime Minister Bernhard von Bülow said.
"In addition, they also want all of Italy's overseas colonies. Isn't this going to include Libya, which is valued by the empire? This has already caused damage to the interests of the empire. I really don't know who gave them such courage. "Foreign Minister von Kidren Wachter also said.
"Yes! It seems that there will be many problems in the negotiations with Italy this time." Qin Tian said helplessly.
"Your Majesty, the Austro-Hungarian Empire did not recognize its own strength! That's why they dared to make so many demands. However, after this negotiation, the relationship between us and the Austro-Hungarian Empire will definitely be affected. It has a great impact. Although it will not lead to the breakdown of the alliance, the rift is inevitable." Prime Minister Bilo said.
"There is no way around this. When facing a powerful enemy, we can still face it together. However, when the powerful enemy is defeated and the benefits are distributed, such problems will inevitably arise. Fortunately, this war has already It's almost over, and our final victory is already a certainty. Whether there is support from the Austro-Hungarian Empire is not important to the empire." Qin Tian said.
Prime Minister Bilow and Foreign Minister Vachter nodded again and again. The current German Empire indeed no longer needs the support of the Austro-Hungarian Empire as before. Germany's own strong strength is enough to settle everything.
"Your Majesty, what should we do in this negotiation?" Wasit asked. He is also fully responsible for the negotiations with Italy this time. Qin Tian had already set the bottom line. Therefore, he only needs to strive for more interests for the empire as much as possible.
"First of all, the interests of the empire must be guaranteed. Secondly, if the Austro-Hungarian Empire wants to coerce the Italians, the empire can give them some support appropriately. An extremely weakened Italy is not in the interests of the empire. The Austro-Hungarian Empire from Italy Obtaining too many benefits is also not in the interests of the empire. Besides, the Italians are not that rich. If they give too many benefits to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, how can they guarantee the benefits they give to the empire? "Qin Tian said.
After meeting with Crown Prince Karl, Qin Tian has made up his mind that it is time to suppress the ally of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Crown Prince Karl's ambitions have been fully revealed. This is not a good thing for Germany. Even if the two sides are allies, it is inevitable to attack allies for the benefit of the empire.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Vashite nodded.
"Your Majesty, if this is the case, our alliance with the Austro-Hungarian Empire may come to an end. Before Crown Prince Karl becomes emperor, our alliance with the Austro-Hungarian Empire may continue to be maintained. But once the Austrian Emperor dies , Crown Prince Karl's ascension to the throne, this will definitely make the relationship between our two countries cool down sharply." Prime Minister Biluo said.
Qin Tian nodded: "There have never been permanent allies between countries, only permanent interests. The alliance between us and the Austro-Hungarian Empire is also because we share common interests. Now problems arise because of our respective interests. inevitable."
