Paul? Boselli was silent, thinking about how to answer the German Foreign Minister von? Kidren? Wahit's question. He knew that if he offended both Germany and Austria-Hungary, the Kingdom of Italy would be dead. The mighty German* army could destroy the Kingdom of Italy in an instant, and they didn't even have the slightest chance of turning the tables around.

The conditions put forward by Germany were no less demanding for the Kingdom of Italy. However, the conditions were slightly more lenient than those of Austria-Hungary.

"Your Excellency, the conditions put forward by Germany are too harsh. The Kingdom of Italy could not afford it. If the German Empire could lower a little, the Kingdom of Italy would have accepted it. "Paul? Boselli said.

Vasit shook his head: "It's a pity, this is already the bottom line of the empire, and there is no possibility of reducing it at all." ”

Vahit's attitude is undoubtedly tough. Of course, he has the right to be so tough. The strength of the German Empire allowed him to put forward these conditions.

Paul? Boselli thought for a moment, then said, "Your Excellency, I need to report back to the country. ”

This is undoubtedly a euphemism, and in the face of German demands, even in the Kingdom of Italy, there is probably no way to refuse.

Vahit nodded in satisfaction and said no more. He knew that Italy could not refuse Germany's demands, and that Germany's interests would be satisfied.

Crown Prince Karl's face suddenly became very ugly. The Germans and Italians, who traded right in front of him, were nothing more than a disregard for him, a provocation against Austria-Hungary. If he can endure it, then there is a ghost.

"Is Italy intending to satisfy Germany's demands, but rejecting the demands of Austria-Hungary?" Crown Prince Karl asked.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I did not say that I would meet the demands of the German Empire. In addition, your country's requirements are too harsh. "Paul? Boseli said again.

"Humph! Your Excellency the Foreign Minister, is the German Empire intending to renounce the Covenant and make peace with Italy alone? Crown Prince Karl looked at Vahit.

"Your Royal Highness, I have only put forward the request of the German Empire, whether the Kingdom of Italy agrees or not, it is their business. If, because of the harsh conditions put forward by your country, you and the Kingdom of Italy are unable to reach an agreement, the peace talks will reach a stalemate. The German Empire can't stay with you like this, right? Washitt said.

This time, the peace talks broke up unhappily and no agreement was reached. The harsh conditions of the Austro-Hungarian Empire were unacceptable to the Kingdom of Italy. Although, the conditions of the German Empire were no less harsh. But in the absence of any means, the Italians apparently preferred to accept the demands of the German Empire rather than the demands of Austria-Hungary.

After the peace talks, Paul? Boseli immediately contacted Rome and reported the demands of Germany and Austria-Hungary to the country.

The puzzle was thrown to King Vittorio at once? Emanuele III and Prime Minister Antonio? Sarandra. How to choose depends on their decision.

"Bastard! The Germans and Austria-Hungary are not good things, they are both robbers! They actually put forward such harsh conditions! "Vittorio? Emanuele III looked at Paul? After Boseli sent back the telegram, he immediately began to curse.

"Indeed, the demands made by the Germans and Austria-Hungary were more demanding than the other. However, we can think of this from the peace treaty between the Germans and the French. "Antonio? Sarandra said.

"Your Excellency, what should we do now? Do you want to accede to their requests? "Vittorio? Emanuele III was very unwilling. At the same time, he regretted it very much. Originally, the Kingdom of Italy was not to be treated like this, they were supposed to be part of the victors. But because of his greed, he is on the wrong side, and the Kingdom of Italy is now about to suffer a catastrophe.

"Of course, I can't agree to their terms. If the Kingdom of Italy had agreed to their terms, we would have been no different from the dead nation. "Antonio? Sarandra shook her head.

"But if we refuse, they will continue to attack Italy. Our army simply cannot withstand them. "Vittorio? A hint of horror flashed in Emanuele III's eyes.

He was already disappointed in the fighting power of the army of the Kingdom of Italy. He was a little puzzled why, more than forty years later, the combat effectiveness of their army had become so bad. Italy and Germany were reunified almost at the same time. However, the combat effectiveness of the German* army is getting stronger and stronger, and the combat strength of the army of the Kingdom of Italy is getting worse and worse, and it has become two extremes.

"Your Majesty, my idea is that we can agree to the conditions of the Germans. But the conditions of Austria-Hungary, we have to think about it. The Germans were so strong that they almost single-handedly defeated the Entente. If we reject the Germans' terms, they can easily destroy us. Therefore, we could not refuse the Germans' conditions, we could only agree. What's more, the conditions of the Germans, although harsh, were already much better than those of Austria-Hungary. "Antonio? Sarandra said.

Vittorio? Emanuele III nodded. Although he was in some pain, he also knew that there was no way to do it. If Germany had been rejected, the destruction of Italy would have been inevitable.

"Your Majesty, from the telegram sent back by the Foreign Secretary, it is evident that there is a great difference in the attitude of the Germans and Austria-Hungary towards us. The German Empire, it seems, was not very satisfied with the conditions put forward by Austria-Hungary. This may be an opportunity for us. "Antonio? Sarandra said.

"For example, in our colony, the Germans only wanted Libya. But Austria-Hungary demanded that we give them all our colonies. In this case, wouldn't the demands of the two countries coincide? From this, it can be seen that the two countries did not discuss, but disagreed. As long as the Germans and Austria-Hungary had not united against us, we would undoubtedly have been much less pressured. "Antonio? Sarandra said.

"Yes, this is our chance. Either way, we have to pay as little as possible. "Vittorio? Emanuele III said.

Prime Minister Antonio? Sarandra nodded repeatedly.
