"Oh God! Are those French stupid? Actually agreed to such a demanding request from the Germans. Don't they know that by agreeing to these demands, they are no different from the death of the country? Lost all the colonies, and lost half of the territory. At the same time, it is also burdened with heavy war reparations, and France will be completely reduced to a third-rate small country! Crown Prince Karl hated iron but not steel, as if he was sorry that France would accede to Germany's demands.

"Your Highness, there is no way for the French not to accede to the demands of the Germans! If they did not agree, the Germans would go on the offensive. And the French on the battlefield could no longer withstand the German attack. If they refuse the Germans' demands and the negotiations break down, then they will soon be destroyed by the Germans! Ambassador Rubrig Kugen said.

"Yes, Your Highness. If that's the case, then it's understandable. After all, having agreed to the Germans' terms, France was able to survive for a long time. If one day Germany declines, they will have one day to regain their homeland. But if it was destroyed by the Germans, the consequences would be even more serious. "Austro-Hungarian Foreign Minister Leopold? Feng? Baron Belhidald said.

"But, damn the Germans, they signed a peace treaty with the French on their own behind our backs. Of the benefits handed over by the French, it was clear that Austria-Hungary should have a share. But now, the Germans have it to themselves! They are so greedy and shameless. The original covenant stipulated that no country could make peace with the enemy alone. Now, the Germans have broken their promise! Crown Prince Karl said through gritted teeth.

After learning that Germany had actually received so many benefits from France, his heart suddenly became unbalanced. Although, in the war against France, Austria-Hungary did not exert any strength at all. However, Crown Prince Karl still stubbornly believed that Austria-Hungary should have a share of those spoils. Germany's separate peace talks with France, leaving Austria-Hungary aside, were a betrayal of Austria-Hungary.

Baron Belhidald heard Crown Prince Karl say this, and his heart suddenly became a little worried. If Crown Prince Karl had been to follow his point of view, this would have had a great impact on the relations between Austria-Hungary and Germany. Now Germany is too strong. Even if Austria-Hungary was twice as strong, it was probably no match for Germany.

Of course, Germany was a little ugly in its negotiations with the Entente. But who made Austria-Hungary too weak and had no way to fight back in the face of German suppression?

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has told you not to anger the Germans, but to repair relations with the Germans as much as possible. In that case, it is in the best interest of the Empire. Baron Belchdald reminded.

"I know! What to do, I have my own measure. However, the interests of the empire should not be compromised. Crown Prince Karl said stubbornly.

Seeing this, Baron Belchdot had no choice but to say no more.

After Crown Prince Karl had gone to rest, Baron Belchdald and Ambassador Zonebrugg exchanged views on the matter.

"Your Excellency, I fear that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will anger the Germans. I was in Berlin and learned more. German political and military circles now look down on the Reich, believing that the Reich did not contribute much at all in the war, but dragged Germany down. It is precisely because of this that the Germans increasingly despise the Reich. If the empire wants to gain more benefits in the negotiations, I am afraid it will be very difficult. Rubrig Kugen said with some concern.

"I know. However, the character of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too paranoid. Let's hope he'll be measured this time! Baron Belchfew sighed. He also believes that Crown Prince Karl is not the most suitable candidate for the crown prince, but who made the crown prince of Austria-Hungary have problems one after another, and there is really no more suitable candidate?

The crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, as if cursed, had problems one after another. The first crown prince was Franz? Son of Joseph I. As a result, he committed suicide by martyrdom. The later crown prince was Franz? The nephew of Joseph I, who was assassinated again. Is the current crown prince Franz? The nephew of Joseph I. But the character and ability seem to be not enough to serve as the crown prince. It's just that now they don't have time to re-choose their heirs. Franz? The health of Joseph I was no longer allowed.

In the evening of the same day, the German Emperor Qin Tian held a banquet in the imperial palace to welcome the Austro-Hungarian delegation from afar. At the banquet, Qin Tian talked about the friendship between Germany and Austria-Hungary, and hoped that the alliance between the two countries could be maintained forever.

The banquet can be described as a joy for the guests and hosts, and the communication between the two sides is very pleasant.

However, after three rounds of wine and five flavors, Crown Prince Karl offered to visit the gardens of the palace.

Crown Prince Karl's request surprised Qin Tian a little, but he still agreed to his request with a smile. And, personally.

Qin Tian had also dealt with Crown Prince Karl, and knew that this person's personality was rather paranoid. The so-called visit to the palace gardens is nothing more than an excuse. Actually, there must be something to talk to him about.

Qin Tian also wanted to know what Crown Prince Karl wanted to do. Only after knowing the other party's requirements can we come up with a solution.

"Your Majesty, congratulations on your country's victory in the war. Although, the war is not over yet. However, I believe that there is no doubt about the final victory of your country! Crown Prince Karl said.

"Yes, I think so too. However, Germany and Austria-Hungary were allies, both were Germanic states. The victory of the German Empire was also the victory of Austria-Hungary. Qin Tian said.

"It would be great if Your Majesty could think like this. However, what the German Empire has done recently has not taken into account the interests of Austria-Hungary, which makes Austria-Hungary very chilled. Crown Prince Karl continued.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Qin Tian began to pretend to be stupid.

"I heard that your country has completed negotiations with France and that a peace treaty has been signed. However, the original covenant stipulated that no country could make peace with the enemy alone. Crown Prince Karl stared at Qin Tian tightly.

Qin Tian smiled, and then said, "Yes, there is such a provision in the alliance treaty. However, Austria-Hungary declared war on France. However, they did not send troops to attack France. So, France is nothing more than your nominal enemy. ”
