The Rise of the Empire
Chapter 500： See the situation
The British are also considered good buddies. They recommended two second-class battleships to Italy. The firepower is quite cruel! Now wait for the Italians to pay! These two warships, which are almost identical to the Agile class in history, sell for £1.1 million, and they are of the kind that can be used directly after taking them away. As for the fact that the British sold these two warships to the Italians, will the Chileans have any dissatisfaction? This is not within the consideration of the British. When did the British Empire at this time consider the proposal of a small country?
And the payment terms given by the British this time are also very generous, 1.1 million pounds. Now, as long as Italy pays half of the money first, the remaining money can be paid in 2 years. This preferential price and payment method are definitely unprecedented. ! Moreover, when Italians buy British ships, they still spend money on loans provided by the British!
"Since we have consumed millions of pounds and thousands of vitality for this war, we can add some more. But this time, I hope the Navy will not let me down!" Umberto I thought for a while. After a quarter of an hour, I finally decided to buy another ship of 550,000 pounds from the Italian treasury, which was about to bottom out... As he said, all the previous money was spent, is it still afraid of such a tremor now?
"How about the army, do we have to increase our forces to deal with a group of Turks and African natives?" Umberto I asked sternly. If there is still a glimmer of hope for the Navy, then there is no hope for the Army. Whether it's an encounter, a siege, or a defensive battle, the two sides have played it all over again. The Italian army is always beaten by various slings when its strength is at least similar. Although there are many outstanding elites, such as the Italian mountain infantry division. But when they meet the Germans, they still dare to be beaten or beaten....
Now many warships in the Italian Navy are parked near important strongholds along the coast of Africa. Their role is to provide fire support. In short, Italy's performance is worse than in history, and the end of the war is far away! But the Italians decided to call again...
"We are currently consolidating the coastal line of defense and gradually advancing internally. It may take a long time to conquer the entire colony. In fact, I think it is a better way to force the other party to yield through diplomatic channels when circumstances permit. After all, we The Navy occupied several islands off the coast of Turkey. If..." the Secretary of the Army whispered.
"Well, let's not say, if you can't get something on the battlefield, then you can't get it by negotiation! Let's take a look first!" Umberto I waved his hand impatiently.
The Italians are still struggling. Although the format is not good, they decided to wait and see. One of the most important factors is Britain and France! Now the British and French loans have not been broken, and the Italians still have money to fight. And behind Turkey is Germany. After the political situation in Turkey changes, the influence of Britain and France will definitely be gradually squeezed out of Turkey. So, should Britain and France take some actions? Whether it is to contain Germany or beat Turkey, the Italians are waiting for this opportunity!
But I have to say that this time the Italians look up to themselves again. Although Britain and France are very dissatisfied with Germany's control of Turkey and want to take some actions, they have no guts whether it is Britain, which is deeply mired in war, or France, which has been beaten up. Challenge Germany at this time! Turkey is nothing but scraps for these two countries. It is Russia that they really want to win!
"As long as Russia abandons its expansion in the Far East, then the British Empire can make friends with him. Russia, which has lost hope in the Far East, will definitely set its sights on Europe again. The contradiction between Russia and Austria-Hungary will intensify, and Germany belongs to Austria-Hungary. Allies.” Salisbury stated his strategy in Parliament more than once. He has realized that the biggest enemy of the British Empire is not Russia, which is seeking expansion in the Far East, but Germany!
"In that case, why don't we provide more help to Italy so that it can stand on our side? The Italians are profiteering. As long as the benefits are sufficient, it is not a problem for them to abandon Germany." Chamberlain just reported the Italians to the Prime Minister. In this document, the Italians asked the British to help the Italian navy seize the two "Turkish assault ships" that broke diplomatic relations on the high seas. At the same time, they hoped that the British would provide more help, especially military help.
"Now we should not have a complete quarrel with Germany. Our situation is very bad. The Italians want to get the Turkish colony and do it themselves. Why should we spend a lot of money to help them? Of course, if Italy needs it. If we deal with that annoying armored cruiser, we can provide some help. For so many years, the British Imperial Navy has never faced a head-on confrontation after the Battle of Trafalgar. We lack experience. Instead, let the Italians help us explore. Pathfinder.” Salzbury replied like this~www.novelhall.com~Of course, the most important thing is that our evaluation of Italy's strength continues to decline. At first, I thought Italy was a valuable partner and worthy of Win over. And now most people think that the entry of Italy will not have much impact on the overall situation, and may even become a burden on us. Once the land war breaks out between the two sides, we will even send troops to help the Italians! "
The British are looking at the performance of the Italians to decide how to choose, and similarly, the Italians are also looking at the performance of Britain and France. If the foreign powers in this era have the most flexible diplomatic strategies, it must be Italy. They can betray their virtues for their own interests. Austria, then, for the same reason, when they think that England and France are not worth relying on, or think that Germany and Austria are too strong, they will choose to continue to maintain the alliance, at least neutral.
And this time. Italians found that the so-called support of Britain and France was so weak, and they did not seem to be as strong as they thought. Coupled with the economic deficit, although Britain and France are willing to provide loans, these loans need to be repaid! Under this circumstance, Italy's attitude towards war in the future is naturally relatively conservative. Of course, these are all things to follow, so I won't mention it for the time being.
After going around the Bromfors Shipyard, the prince was ready to go back to Bavaria, and before going back, he received a telegram. In the telegram, the little Mochi stated that he would set off to Bavaria as a private person, hoping to see The construction of Bavaria’s aviation and armored forces.
