The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 333: Clash one



What are Germans doing here? Just to express dissatisfaction with what Italy has done before! They came to protest, they used force to warn the Italians! Be honest! Even the navy, brother can crush you with one hand! France knows it? I'm so taller than you, I don't know where it is. Didn't I still admit it in front of my brother? And because of this purpose, the high-level talks between the two sides were full of gunpowder in the first place.

The high-level meeting is very small, with a total of 4 people. Prince Ruprecht represents the German government, Tirpitz represents the German navy, and corresponds to the Italian Prime Minister Luigi and the Duke of Abuqilu.

"If I remember correctly, this is the first time your navy has visited the Mediterranean with such a large fleet since its establishment, and the **** smell and murderous spirit on Colonel Scheer makes people feel less peaceful." After a brief greeting, Luigi said with a smile.

"This is our fault. We forgot. In the Mediterranean, apart from Austria-Hungary, we have another important friend. Since the signing of the Treaty of the Three Kingdoms in 1887, it is really impolite that we have not come to visit." The answer was the same with a smile.

"I once attended a reception of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. One of my friends told me that now Germany is more and more likely to use the military to solve problems. They always put a pistol next to them during negotiations. How to believe it, but now I believe it." Luigi tit-for-tat.

"When did you attend this reception?" the prince asked.

"Just a month ago." Luigi murmured as he answered, the prince's jumping is too big... One of his own nonsense, why did he catch this?

"So good, let me guess who this person is. First, he can't be a British, because the British are fighting the Boers for gold and diamonds in South Africa. After the negotiations broke down, the British decisively pulled out. Long sword."

"It's impossible to be a Russian, because the Russians have never put down their pistols, whether in negotiations or at other times, right?"

"It shouldn't be the Americans and Japanese, because they know such a sentence, with gentle words and sticks in their hands, whoever forgets this will suffer. The war in the Philippines has proved this."

"It's impossible to be French, because at that time the French squadron was fighting with us five days later. France has given up negotiations and picked up the pistol." The prince said with a smile.

"Then he may be a diplomat of a small country. There are many countries in the world." Luigi realized that the prince in front of him was really difficult to deal with. I just complained about the Germans' brutality, but the other party told him that only by holding a big stick in his hand can he win respect. The world's great powers are like this!

"Why has the Italian government paid attention to the opinions of the small country?" The prince asked with a smile. "Of course, strength and weakness are relative. To an elephant, a goat is nothing, but to a rabbit, a goat is a behemoth. I can understand!"

"Back then, your country used to place a pistol at the negotiating table. At that time, it was a country called Abyssinia sitting across from Italy. At that time, Italy definitely thought that it had a chance to win, but it was a pity that things were counterproductive, didn’t they? ?"

"You are too much! This is an insult! An insult to the Kingdom of Italy! This is a provocation!" Luigi's low voice was full of anger. In 1896, Italy lost to an indigenous African country (now Ethiopia), which made the rise of Italy become the laughing stock of European countries.

At that time, Bismarck once satirized the Italians bitterly. They came to Africa with mouth full of cavities and great appetite. This is undoubtedly a mockery of the Italians' self-effort! Less than four years have passed since this incident. Now that the prince tells this incident, he is undoubtedly slapped!

"Don't talk about the Kingdom of Italy. You can't represent Italy, because you still have an emperor and a parliament. I can't represent Germany, because the emperor of Germany is His Majesty William. This is an informal meeting. On this private occasion , I just want to talk about my thoughts."

"Of course, if it has to be related to national interests, then I think I am more capable than you to influence a country. Whether you can be re-elected as Prime Minister of Italy is a question, but I will eventually be crowned king! Even now I am , Can also have a considerable influence on Bavaria, Germany, and Austria-Hungary. Don’t you deny that?” The prince leaned back on the chair and tried to relax his body.

"I know what you want to say. You want to say that Germany is too contemptuous of Italy and has not given Italy equal status, which leads to the limited value of the Three-Power Alliance, and even begins to want to use the Three-Power Alliance as a bargaining chip to gain greater leverage. Good, is it so?" the prince asked.

"Italy, as a sovereign country, has the right to do what it thinks is right, and other countries should not interfere!" Luigi said every word.

"But this matter has affected Germany~www.novelhall.com~ so Germany can naturally make the right choice, including our threat to Portugal, including our visit. Italy can indeed do what it thinks is right, But Italy must also bear the response of the other party." The prince said solemnly.

"Your words have severely damaged the relations between the two countries. As you said, you must bear the series of consequences arising therefrom. Such remarks that may lead to the split of the three-nation alliance are difficult even in your position. Bear the consequences, right?" The prince's arrogance exceeded Luigi's expectations. He originally thought that the Germans came here just to vent their dissatisfaction, and just two shots would be enough. Who knew that such a thing happened now?

Is the Three-Power Alliance important? Perhaps it is not very important to Italy, which is a clumsy ally, but at least it is still useful. As long as there is a three-nation alliance, then Austria-Hungary cannot cause substantial harm to Italy, which is also an ally. But once this alliance is gone, it will be hard to say...

Although Austria-Hungary is a broiler with a combat power of 10, Italy is a scum that has a combat power of less than 5! If Austria-Hungary has ideas and Germany supports it, Italy will definitely suffer! As for France and Britain? Italy doesn't think these two countries will bother for Italy.
