Chapter 661: Blackmailing Italy (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

"Damn the Germans, they actually don't agree with the legitimate interests of the Reich in Italy! It's just so damning. In doing so, the Germans clearly crossed the river and demolished the bridge, which was a betrayal of their allies. As soon as he left the palace and sat back in the car, Crown Prince Karl roared angrily. Because of the anger, his face became hideous, and he looked very terrifying.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, what do you ask of His Majesty the Emperor of Germany?" Austro-Hungarian Foreign Minister Baron Berhidald asked.

"I demand that Italy pay Austria-Hungary 50 billion crowns in compensation, cede Venice and its territories east to Austria-Hungary, and transfer all its Italian colonies to Austria-Hungary." Crown Prince Karl said.

Baron Belhidald was already dumbfounded. These requests made by Crown Prince Karl have not been discussed with him at all! There is no doubt that this was a decision he made on his own. In the eyes of Baron Belhidald, these demands were excessive.

"Your Highness, wouldn't such a request be too harsh? No wonder the Germans would disagree. Baron Belchdold said.

"Harsh? I don't think so. These demands were made in accordance with the conditions that the Germans had put forward to France. Crown Prince Karl said.

"Uh......," Baron Belhidald was speechless.

It is indeed eye-catching that Germany extorted a large amount of benefits from France. However, this does not mean that Austria-Hungary will be able to reap so many benefits from Italy! Italy is not the same as France, they are not as rich as France. What's more, the interests of France were monopolized by Germany, while the interests handed over by Italy were divided between Germany and Austria-Hungary, which is an essential difference! Among other things, Libya was one of Italy's overseas colonies, which everyone knew was valued by the Germans. The Austro-Hungarian Empire actually wanted to take over the Italian colonies in its entirety, wasn't that a tiger's mouth?

"Your Highness, the colony of Libya, I'm afraid the Germans won't let it out." Baron Belhidald said.

"The Germans have already used so many colonies, aren't they afraid of indigestion? Besides, Libyan oil was also very important to Austria-Hungary. If we can extract the oil there, it will make us a huge fortune. When the time comes, the Empire will be able to use the money to solve those problems within the Empire. Crown Prince Karl said.

Baron Belchdald is not good to say anything more. He just thinks that Crown Prince Karl imagines everything too simply. This would not only damage relations between Germany and Austria-Hungary, but would also add a lot of variables to the peace talks.

"Your Highness, can we lower our requirements a little bit? In this case, it may be easier to reach an agreement. For example, war reparations were reduced to 5 billion crowns. The territory east of Venice, we can get Italy to cede to us. In the case of colonies, it is better to have East Africa. In this case, it may be possible to reach an agreement and sign a peace treaty soon. Baron Belchdold said.

"What? What do you mean, Your Excellency? You are seriously harming the interests of the Empire! "Crown Prince Karl was very dissatisfied. It was considered that those conditions proposed by Baron Belchdot constituted serious damage to the interests of Austria-Hungary.

"Your Highness, I am also thinking about the interests of the empire." Baron Belhidald retorted.

"Well, Your Excellency, listen to me this time. I believe that this time I will bring more benefits to the empire. Crown Prince Karl said nonchalantly.

Baron Belchdold, had no choice but to say no more. Damesha, he thinks that Crown Prince Karl will definitely have a negative impact on the interests of Austria-Hungary by doing so. But unfortunately, Crown Prince Karl did not listen to him at all.

The next day, it was time for Germany and Austria-Hungary to negotiate peace with Italy.

Negotiations continued to take place in the conference room of the Federal Foreign Office of the German Reich. A large round table with three parties sitting around the round table. On the German side, Foreign Minister Vahit was in charge of the negotiations, and on the Austro-Hungarian side, Crown Prince Karl and Foreign Minister Berhidot. In the Kingdom of Italy, Foreign Minister Paul? Boselli.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary. The Kingdom of Italy is deeply aware of our mistakes. We should not have listened to the slanderous rumors of the British and French, who had been seduced and betrayed our allies. Thankfully, our alliance was able to win the war. The Kingdom of Italy now wants to repent, and wants Germany and Austria-Hungary to give us a chance for the sake of our former allies. "Paul? Boseli was very low.

How harsh the conditions of the peace treaty signed between Germany and France. This Paul? Boselli is already clear. King Vittorio of Italy? Emanuele III and Prime Minister Antonio? After Sarandra learned of the contents of the peace treaty signed between Germany and France, she even asked Paul? Boseli must find a way to avoid such a situation and protect as many interests as possible for the Kingdom of Italy.

This makes Paul? The pressure on Boseli was so great that he even wanted to kneel down and beg Germany and Austria-Hungary to forgive them if he could. But alas, that's not possible. Neither Germany nor Austria-Hungary would let go of this good opportunity to blackmail Italy.

"The Kingdom of Italy has shamelessly betrayed our alliance, posing a great threat to the entire alliance and causing great losses. This is not a matter of repentance and forgiveness! Crown Prince Karl looked stern.

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, the Kingdom of Italy must pay for your actions!" German Foreign Minister Vahit also said.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, the Kingdom of Italy is ready to make reparations to Germany and Austria-Hungary for what we have done. However, the Kingdom of Italy was not wealthy, so it was hoped that Germany and Austria-Hungary would show mercy. If the conditions are too harsh, we can't meet them. In that case, it will be very bad for us! "Paul? Boselli said.

"If Italy cannot meet our demands, then our army will level Rome! I think that in such a situation, Italy will definitely be able to meet our requirements! "Crown Prince Karl is very resolute, and he is determined to slaughter Italy fiercely.
