Chapter 1058: Iron and Blood Alliance
On June 18, the Berlin Conference was officially convened. The venue of the meeting, choose the meeting room in the cabinet. Although there were many countries attending the meeting, it was often attended only by heads of state and officials in charge of diplomacy, and the rest of the staff had to wait outside the conference room. As a result, a normal conference room can accommodate all the participants.
Emperor Qin Tian personally attended this meeting. When Qin Tian entered the conference room, the leaders of all the countries stood up and greeted Qin Tian one after another. Although some of them were much older than Qin Tian, they were very respectful in front of Qin Tian. After all, Qin Tian was the emperor of the German Empire, the world's most powerful country. The strength of the country is much stronger than theirs. In front of Qin Tian, these people are not qualified to put on a stand as a king or president at all.
"Hello everyone, sit down!" Qin Tian had a smile on his face, looking very amiable.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The kings and presidents said one after another.
Subsequently, the Reich's Prime Minister, Vahit, presided over the meeting.
"Your Majesty, Your Excellency the President, welcome you to the German Empire, to Berlin, to this meeting. We are all European countries, and we are all one family. In today's increasingly complex international situation, it is all the more important to unite and tide over the difficulties together. Imperial Prime Minister Vahit spoke.
At the beginning of the meeting, Washitt directly pointed out the theme of the conference, with a clear purpose: to hope that European countries can unite to deal with the crisis. As for what the crisis is, it goes without saying, it is undoubtedly the coming war. This did not come as unexpected by the leaders of these countries.
Vahit spoke for half an hour before he finished. He elaborated on Germany's current strength and told everyone that even if a war breaks out in the future, Germany is capable of victory. If all countries join the German camp, then Germany will definitely lead everyone to victory.
By the end of Vahit's speech, everyone had almost understood Germany's intentions. As for what kind of position they should hold, they already knew it in their hearts.
At this time, Qin Tian stood up from his position, glanced at everyone, and then said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Europe has always been the center of the world since the Age of Discovery. When we entered civilization, the Americas were still indigenous. Although, now the Americas have developed and are getting stronger and stronger. However, Europe is still the center of the world, and the whole world is still under our control.
Now the international situation is becoming more and more responsible. Several ambitious countries are frantically developing their military forces with the intention of challenging the hegemony of the German Empire and the centrality of Europe in the world, which is absolutely unacceptable to the German Empire and even all European countries. We hope that all European nations will be able to stand with the Empire and meet the challenges of those who are ambitious. I believe that all of us, united, will be able to defeat those enemies.
I assure you that the German Empire will never treat its allies badly. After the defeat of those ambitious countries, all the countries that helped the German Empire would receive sufficient benefits from this. ”
Of course, the leaders of many countries did not believe in Qin Tian's promise. The original Austro-Hungarian Empire was also an ally of the German Empire! However, Austria-Hungary did not seem to end well. After the end of the last world war, the Germans directly crossed the river and demolished the bridge, destroyed the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and annexed the best Austria directly. However, that was also the death of Austria-Hungary itself. If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Karl I wanted to provoke Germany and withdrew from the Central Powers despite Germany's stern warnings, Germany would not have been excused.
"This time, the German Reich hopes to be able to re-establish the Central Powers, so that we can all unite under the banner of the Central Powers to meet the challenges of the future and win the war! I believe that the future victory will definitely belong to us! Qin Tian said.
"Rebuilding the Confederates? It turned out that this was what the Germans were for. ”
"The Germans demanded that everyone join the Allies, and this is undoubtedly asking all countries to accept their leadership after the outbreak of war!"
The leaders of many countries began to talk about it. Some countries are eager to join the Allies. But there are also countries that do not want to get involved in war. After all, once war breaks out, it's going to be dead. For many small countries with a population of only one or two million, their population is precious!
However, the leaders of these countries are well aware that they now have no other choice. Now that Germany has summoned them here, this is undoubtedly asking them to take a stand.
"The Kingdom of Italy, willing to join the Central Powers led by the German Empire. As you know, we were originally part of the Allied Powers. However, in the last world war, it was because of some short-sighted people that we had the shame of turning our backs on our allies. Personally, I deeply deplore and outrage this. Now, once again, the German Reich has given us a chance. On behalf of the Kingdom of Italy, I would like to join the Central Powers, obey the orders of the German Empire, and do everything in my power to assist the German Empire, win future wars, and defend the interests of the whole of Europe! Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini was the first to stand up and express his willingness to join the Allies.
King Vittorio of Italy? Emanuele III's face was a little unpleasant, and the short-sighted people in Mussolini's mouth obviously included him! However, at this time, he obviously cannot object. Otherwise, this king of his will probably do it.
The leaders of other countries are looking to Vittorio? Emanuele III. There was obviously a hint of a smile in their eyes, which made Vittorio even more? Emanuele III was ashamed and angry.
"The Prime Minister is doing this for the benefit of the Kingdom of Italy. What does it matter if it is for the good of the kingdom, even if it is ridiculed? "Vittorio? Emanuele III thought. As soon as he thought of this, he also made up his mind.
"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Italy is sincerely willing to join the Central Powers this time, and I swear in the name of God that we will never betray this time. If you betray again, let the Kingdom of Italy be destroyed! "Vittorio? Emanuele III simply lost his face and said directly.
