Almighty Cultivation Supreme

Crown Prince Karl is determined to bite off a piece of fat from Italy. The huge war reparations and other benefits that Germany had received from the French had made his eyes red as if he were a hungry wolf. It was precisely because of this that he directly said the request of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in front of Qin Tian.

Crown Prince Karl hoped that Germany would support Austria-Hungary. In his opinion, this was simply the legitimate interest of Austria-Hungary. As an ally of Austria-Hungary, Germany should have supported Austria-Hungary.

However, Crown Prince Karl does not seem to think that Austria-Hungary's demands are a bit too much. In particular, many of their demands overlapped with those of Germany. In such a situation, would Germany still support Austria-Hungary? That's obviously impossible.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it is impossible for the colony of Libya to be given to Austria-Hungary. Germany also needed that colony. What's more, the German Empire had made huge investments there before the war began. Qin Tian said.

"Your Majesty, Germany has already acquired a vast colony from France, can't it give Libya to Austria-Hungary?" Crown Prince Karl looked a little disappointed and angry.

Qin Tian shook his head: "I'm sorry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Italian East Africa can be given to Austria-Hungary, but Libya is imperial!" ”

Qin Tian's attitude was also very firm, and this attitude of not giving an inch made Crown Prince Karl very angry.

"Damn! Did the Germans, relying on their own strength, not care about the interests of their allies? They are simply outrageous. How could they have won this war without the support of Austria-Hungary? Crown Prince Karl roared in his heart.

Crown Prince Karl was of course dissatisfied, but from Qin Tian's standpoint, the role played by Austria-Hungary in this war was too small, but they dared to be cheeky to ask for so many benefits, they really took themselves too seriously!

The meeting between Qin Tian and Crown Prince Karl ended unhappily after all. Crown Prince Karl's demands were not supported by Germany, which made Crown Prince Karl think that the Germans had betrayed them. For Germany, there is even more anger.

When Crown Prince Karl returned to the banquet hall, he directly asked the Austro-Hungarian delegation to return to the embassy. Baron Belhidald and Ambassador Rubeg Rubeg looked at each other. Because this is undoubtedly very rude. But Crown Prince Karl ignored it and left directly.

Baron Berchdot and Ambassador Zonebrugg had to leave the German officials and leave the palace and return to the embassy.

"Your Majesty, are you and Crown Prince Karl sighing unpleasantly?" Bernhardt? Feng? Prime Minister Bilow asked.

"Yes!" Qin Tian nodded.

"Austria-Hungary was so greedy that they wanted Italy to pay them 40 billion marks and cede Venice and the territories to the east of it. In addition, it wanted to take over all of Italy's overseas colonies. Qin Tian continued.

"Austria-Hungary was indeed too greedy. Italy is not as rich as France. Even the Reich only demanded war reparations of 20 billion marks. They actually want 40 billion marks. It seems that the Empire's stab on the French provoked them. "Bernhardt? Feng? Prime Minister Bilow said.

"In addition, they want all of Italy's overseas colonies, and wouldn't that include Libya, which is valued by the empire? This has already done damage to the interests of the Empire. I don't know who gave them that much courage. "Foreign Minister Feng? Kidren? Washitt also said.

"Yes! It seems that there will be many problems in the negotiations with Italy this time. Qin Tian said helplessly.

"Your Majesty, the Austro-Hungarian Empire really didn't recognize its own strength! That's why they dare to make so many demands. However, after this negotiation, our relations with Austria-Hungary will certainly be greatly affected by this. Although it did not lead to the rupture of the alliance, rifts were inevitable. Prime Minister Bilow said.

"There's no way around it. In the face of a strong enemy, we can also face it together. However, when defeating a strong enemy and distributing benefits, such problems will inevitably arise. Fortunately, this war is almost over, and our final victory is already a matter of ironclad. Whether there was support from Austria-Hungary or not, it didn't matter to the empire anymore. Qin Tian said.

Prime Minister Billo and Foreign Minister Vahit both nodded repeatedly, and the current German Empire did not need the support of Austria-Hungary as before. Germany's own strength is enough to settle everything.

"Your Majesty, what should we do in this negotiation?" Vahit asked. This time, he was also solely responsible for the negotiations with Italy. Qin Tian had already set the bottom line. So, he just needs to try to get as much benefit as possible for the empire.

"First of all, the interests of the empire must be secured. Second, if Austria-Hungary wanted to coerce the Italians, the empire could give them some support. An extremely weakened Italy, not in the interests of the Empire. It was equally not in the interests of the Empire that Austria-Hungary gained too much from Italy. Besides, the Italians were not so rich in the first place, and if they gave too much benefit to Austria-Hungary, then how to guarantee the benefits they gave to the empire? Qin Tian said.

After meeting with Crown Prince Karl, Qin Tian had already made up his mind that it was time to suppress the Austro-Hungarian ally. Crown Prince Karl's ambitions have been fully revealed. This is not a good thing for Germany. Even if the two sides are allies, it is inevitable to attack the allies for the sake of the Empire.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Vahit nodded.

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, then our alliance with Austria-Hungary will probably come to an end. Until Crown Prince Karl becomes emperor, our alliance with Austria-Hungary may be able to continue. But once the Austrian emperor dies and Crown Prince Karl ascends the throne, this will definitely cause the relationship between our two countries to cool down sharply. Prime Minister Billo said.

Qin Tian nodded: "Between countries, there have never been eternal allies, only eternal interests. Our alliance with Austria-Hungary is also due to common interests. It is inevitable that problems will arise now for the sake of their own interests. ”<
