And in the face of the conditions given by Eder, Mussolini and Ziano finally got their hearts moved.

There is no way, although this also takes risks, but the two seem to have a chance to meet Britain and France with Germany in front of them.

And Mussolini was also obsessed with the new Roman Empire. Trying to restore the power of ancient Rome, he saw this as an opportunity. However, the future division of forces is the focus.

He asked, looking at the location of Greece on the map. "So what about what to do with Greece in the future?"

Edel said, pointing to the map. "I consider the Ionian Islands and the region of Epirus, together with the region of Eastern Thessaly, to be the territory of the Kingdom of Albania. As for our country, Greek Macedonia and the region of Western Thessaly, as well as the islands of the Sea of Love, will be owned by our country. ”

Mussolini was stunned when he saw the area drawn by Eder's hand. "Your Majesty Eder, it's not a good idea to give Crete to Romania as well."

True, Mussolini had no problem with Eder restoring Greek territory to independence in 1830, even with two fewer dependent islands than at the time of independence (the Cyclades and the Northern Sporades, which consolidated the sea shipping route of Love).

But, however, Crete is very important for Italy. The island is large enough (the first island in Greece with an area of 8,236 square kilometers) and the location is extremely important. It is only more than 300 kilometers away from Tobruk, Africa. The deployment of military forces on the island would pose a threat to both the Eastern Mediterranean.

So it is clear that Italy is not going to make concessions here.

Ziano also spoke. "Your Majesty Eder, Crete is also very important to our country, and I think that the ownership of the island needs to be carefully considered."

It is clear that Italy wants to get part of the territory from Crete.

Why do you say partial?

If you open the map, you can see that if Italy fully acquires the island and is completely able to block the Sea of Love, it will drive Romania crazy.

Faced with the Italian demand for Crete, Eder refused immediately. "You already have Rhodes, isn't it too much to ask for Crete again?"

Eder said that near Turkey in Rhodes, which is entrenched in the Strait of Karathos, is the main shipping route of the Love Sea, and is currently the main shipping route between Syria and Lebanon to the Black Sea.

Eder's words drew a rebuttal, as the Italian foreign minister, Ziano. "But Crete is also very important to our country, and it will help us to ensure that we have a check on the British army in Egypt."

What I fear is that you will form a clamp on Egypt.

Faced with Ziano's words, Eder immediately said in a very serious tone. "For Crete, our country does not intend to share it with others, at most to compensate for the Yugoslav issue."

When Eder brought the topic to Yugoslavia, the two of them immediately became more serious. Mussolini asked. "So how do you plan to compensate us?"

Fortunately, the map was large enough, and Eder pointed to the location of Yugoslavia. "The Dalmatian region along its coastline can be taken over by your country, and the region of Banja can also be administered by your country."

What Eder said was basically the result that Italy had been striving for during the First World War, and it was the same price that Britain and France offered to get Italy on board.

However, although this price is more than enough to impress the Kingdom of Italy in World War I, it is clear that Italy is not what it used to be. At least Mussolini thought so.

I saw him glance casually at Edel's offer, but his shaky hand betrayed him.

"This condition is not satisfactory to our country?"

"So what do you think should be done?"

I saw Mussolini staring at Bosnia and Herzegovina and saying, "At least we need to add the Bosnia and Herzegovina region, which will be managed by our country, and Serbia can be independent of itself." ”

Eder didn't expect Mussolini to have such a good appetite. The ethnic problem in this place has been a big problem for the 21st century, and I didn't expect the Italians to take the initiative to drill into it. However, if others insist on challenging themselves, it is not easy to stop them, and you are not to blame.

However, what should be fought for still needs to be fought for. Although Croatia only has half of its territory left, it still needs to give the other side a chance.

Edel continued. "In the future, in addition to the Serbian kingdom, the regions of Podavina and Slavonia should be formed into an independent kingdom."

Eder is talking about Croatia, but Croatia, which lacks half of the country.

Mussolini, of course, knew Eder's intention to prop up a new kingdom, which was to further dismember it and return its territory to the way it was before the outbreak of World War I.

So he spoke. "I think the Kingdom of Montenegro should also be independent."

So in the words of the two, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was immediately divided into three kingdoms. As for Slovenia, which is not talked about, as well as Macedonia, it is clear who this belongs to.

After settling the division of interests between Yugoslavia and Greece, the two countries became much closer. Because the division of interests has been completed, both parties get the results they want.

And then Eder suddenly mentioned Libyan oil again. "If our two countries have a conflict with Britain and France, I am not worried about other aspects, the only thing that cannot be relieved is Libyan oil, and I am afraid that Britain and France will cause damage to it."

No way, the current annual production of 20 million tons of Libyan oil is very important for the three countries. Although Romania also produces oil every year, it produces only 11 million tons a year and can only export a small amount. Because there are so many places in Romania that oil can only be supplied to other countries.

And in the face of Eder's words, Mussolini patted his chest and replied. "Rest assured, our country also attaches great importance to Libyan oil. Libya currently has 180,000 brave Italian troops, and in order to prevent possible air strikes, we have deployed a number of air defense facilities in the area, as well as an air force dedicated to protecting the oil zone. It was simply impossible for Britain and France to cause any damage to it. ”

Listening to Mussolini's assurances, Eder wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he forgot it. If he cares too much, Italy will think that Romania has a different mind about it.

Now Libyan oil is a treasure for Italy, which is short of resources. Its annual income reaches one-tenth of the Italian treasury, and it cannot be ignored.
