The post-war world economy was very painful, and the militaries of various countries shouted that they would build super battleships that would directly catch up with the Chinese Empire, but the actual situation was that they had no money, and not only could they not get new funds for building ships, but they also had to face the embarrassment of being drastically cut in spending.

The Kingdom of Italy, a second-rate power with great ambitions but no money, was in the worst economic situation of any member state, even though it spent the least amount of military spending of any Allied bloc during the World War.

Since the king of Italy set up a new queen, Mo Zilini, the state affairs have been ignored and left to the ministers to deal with themselves. And if these ministers did not agree with the queen Mozarini, they would be deposed, so all the ministers had to convince the queen Mozarini, thus effectively putting power in the hands of Mozarini.

Molalini was very greedy, and she was very fond of gold and diamonds, so Italian officials went around collecting gold and diamonds and other jewelry for her.

Italy is already underdeveloped, and its industrial capacity is at most at the level of the world's third-rate echelon, the second echelon is the German Empire, the British Empire, the United States and other powers, and the first echelon is only the Chinese Empire.

In the era of the Industrial Revolution, industrial backwardness was equal to the backwardness of national wealth, which made Italy very short of luxury jewelry such as gold and diamonds.

In addition, during the world war, Italy was unable to invade the territory of other countries more, and had to expand its armaments, and the Italian military, which was not able to produce its own equipment, had to spend a lot of foreign exchange to buy from the Chinese Empire, which was a gold standard country, so almost all of the hard currency such as gold, which Italy did not have, was shipped to the Chinese Empire as foreign exchange.

Mollini was a lover of gold and diamonds, and Italian officials, under the banner of offering gold and diamonds to the queen, secretly intensified the looting of the Italian people, making their lives miserable.

Not only that, but there are also Italian officials who provoke Mozilini, saying that gold and diamonds are everywhere in Africa, especially in South Africa, and that they are inexhaustible.

The fluttering of her heart and her greed for gold and diamonds made her so carried away that she was even thinking of conspiring to take South Africa.

However, South Africa was the sphere of influence of the Chinese Empire, and if Italy wanted to seize the interests there, it had to negotiate terms with the Chinese Empire.

Clearly, the Chinese Empire was not going to divide the interests of South Africa among Italy.

When Mo Lini's request was rejected by the Chinese Imperial Government, the woman didn't know if it was menopause, and she actually hated the Chinese Empire from then on.

Italy is a Mediterranean country, and it is an important chess piece used by the Chinese Empire to block the German Empire from crossing the Mediterranean Sea and expanding into North Africa.

When the Chinese Empire rejected Mozarini's terms, the woman did not hesitate to hook up with Hitla.

Mozarini's close relationship with Hitra created the conditions for reconciliation and alliance between the German Empire and the Kingdom of Italy.

The Imperial Chinese Cabinet misjudged the matter of Mozlini, believing that this woman could not influence the strategic decisions of the Kingdom of Italy, let alone embrace the German Empire and even become an enemy of the Chinese Empire.

But women's minds are always cloudy and changeable, the Chinese Empire miscalculated three points, and Mo Lini took three points, and as a result, the Kingdom of Italy became a variable, a loosening place for the Chinese Empire to blockade the German Empire, and the only way for the German Empire to break through the blockade of the Chinese Empire.

Therefore, when the Chinese Empire ignored Italy, the German Empire flattered Mozarini like a treasure, and Wilhelm II opened the encirclement set up by the Chinese Empire for the German Empire in order to win over Italy, and he was even willing to give up the interests of the German Empire in Africa to satisfy Mozelini's extravagance.

German East Africa, near Cape Town, South Africa, the overseas territory of the Chinese Empire, produced far less gold and diamonds than South Africa, but it was also very impressive.

Wilhelm II shared the economic benefits of German East Africa with Italy, allowing Italians to exploit the resources of German East Africa as freely as the Germans.

There were a number of pitfalls, such as the fact that German East Africa bordered South Africa, which was controlled by the Chinese Empire, and that some of the boundaries were ambiguous, a legacy of the Transvaal.

Wilhelm II deliberately ceded the right to mine minerals near the border, as well as disputed areas, to Italy, which was unaware of these hidden pitfalls before accepting them, thus laying the groundwork for future land disputes.

If Italy had a greater dispute with the Chinese Empire, then Germany would have a greater chance of bringing Italy over completely.

It is always the same as the weather changes between countries, and when it is said that it is sunny, it will be sunny immediately, and when it is said that thunder and rain will be realized quickly.

Italy quickly moved closer to the German Empire, an outcome that the Chinese Empire did not anticipate.

Of course, the Chinese Empire also took many remedial measures, such as increasing economic and military aid to Italy, and demanding that Italy not go too far into the German Empire. When Italy did not listen, it resorted to threats to cut off economic and military aid and impose sanctions on Italy.

However, no one expected that the queen of Italy, Mo Zilini, would actually play the queen's temper, and under her bewitchment, the Italian king made a speech on the national situation, and even said to the Italian people that the Chinese Empire interfered in Italy's internal affairs and provoked the Italian people to be dissatisfied with the Chinese Empire. Then he ungrateful said that the Chinese Empire's assistance to Italy was conditional, and that Italy was forced to lease Sardinia to the Chinese Empire, and that only the German Empire was Italy's friend and sincerely helped the Italian people.

As a result, despite the threat of the Chinese Empire, Italy signed a non-aggression pact with the German Empire, and even restored the German-Italian alliance within the Allied bloc.

The German Empire made a clear commitment to maintain the dominant position of Europe together with Italy, and not to allow the Chinese Empire to dominate Europe and the world, and the world stage should be wonderful with the participation of the German Empire and the Kingdom of Italy.

The two sides also pledged to strengthen economic cooperation and military defense exercises, and work together to build the entire European Union and the European Community.

This was the first time that the German Empire put forward the European Community program, saying that European unity was not necessarily a military unity, but could be a political and military union of European countries, and within the community, European countries would remain independent, similar to a CIS model.

This change in the German Empire shocked the whole world, because it concealed Germany's ambition to unify Europe, and instead glorified it as a European Community, which minimized the vigilance and worry of European countries about the German Empire.

After Italy fell to the German Empire, the other sovereign states of Europe were vigorously discussing the proposal of the European Community put forward by the German Empire, because it was very constructive and could unite the political, economic and military forces of the whole of Europe to make Europe truly strong.

It has to be said that this is all the result of the Chinese Empire being too strong. The reason why European countries approached the Chinese Empire before was because they knew the ambitions of the German Empire and were worried that the German Empire would unify Europe and annex their countries, so they had to ally with the Chinese Empire and draw the Chinese Empire to fight against the German Empire.

However, as the German Empire changed its tactics and replaced its ambition of unifying Europe with the construction of a European Community Union, the sovereignty of each country under the framework of the European Union was still independent, but the economic barriers were abolished, and the European region was free trade.

The failure of an Italian position to hold the line of defense throughout Europe began to loosen, which was also something that the Chinese Empire could not have foreseen.

In this game, the German Empire won a narrow victory, and Wilhelm II succeeded in breaking the blockade of the Chinese Empire against the German Empire by following the advice provided by Hitla.

During this time, Hitra kept a low profile, which was very much in line with Wilhelm II's wishes, so he reused Hitra and appointed him as the chief internal adviser.

This time, Hitra has become very low-key, and even if he becomes the chief internal counselor, he is not as ostentatious as before, and he is still secretly accumulating strength, waiting for the opportunity to come.

The nail of Italy was pulled out by Germany, but although the entire European defense line was loosened, it was not to collapse on the whole line, after all, the strength of the Chinese Empire was there, and not every small European country was like Italy, with a menopausal woman in politics.

The Chinese Empire quickly devised a contingency strategy to re-enact the adverse effects of Italy's defection.

In the direction facing the Mediterranean, the Chinese Empire still occupies Sardinia, regardless of whether Italy or Germany, the leased Sardinia is in the hands of the Chinese Imperial Army, and Italy does not dare to forcibly take it back in a short time.

In this way, the Chinese Empire still has Gibraltar, Corsica, Sardinia, and Cyprus as naval bases in the Mediterranean direction, and with the Suez Canal, it still blocks the passage of the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean.

Therefore, the German Empire had only achieved a small victory, and there was still a long way to go before it could completely break through the blockade imposed on it by the Chinese Empire.

But for the German Empire, even such a small step was enough to get the whole country excited.

However, Wilhelm II was happy at the same time, but also complained, because after the realliance with Italy, Mozelini wanted not only gold and diamonds from German East Africa, but also economic and military aid from the German Empire.

The former is good to say, leaving the land of German East Africa to Italy to explore at will, whether it can dig up diamonds and gold depends on luck. But the latter is tricky after all, economic aid is almost like the life of Wilhelm II, the German Empire itself is desperately poor, the sequelae of the world war have not been eliminated, the German economy is also suffering, how to have spare money to aid Italy.

So if economic aid is not given, then military aid can only be increased.

Fortunately, the German Empire produced a lot of weapons and equipment during the world war, and as a victorious country, the German army still has a mountain of guns and ammunition in its stockpiles, which if it were not for the war, the German army would not have been able to use up for decades, so it simply gave aid to Italy.

However, Wilhelm II also underestimated Italy's appetite, and people still can't look down on ordinary weapons and equipment, after all, in order to encircle the German Empire on all sides, the Chinese Empire provided Italy with a large number of advanced weapons and equipment, which made Italy's vision much higher, so it looked down on the equipment of the German army.

Therefore, in order to appease Italy, the German Empire could only provide Italy with advanced weapons and equipment at the bottom of the box.

The most advanced tanks of the German army were given to Italy 1,000, the most advanced aircraft were also given to Italy 500, and even the battleships captured by the German army in the French Empire were also given to the Italian Navy two, and there were more than a dozen cruisers, frigates, submarines and so on, anyway, the total value exceeded 2 billion German marks, which sent Italy happy.

However, when the Imperial Chinese Diet passed the Navy Budget Act for the year 4000 (1900 AD), proposing to build two super battleships for the Imperial Chinese Navy, the Italian Queen Mozlini didn't know what was wrong, perhaps out of jealousy of the Chinese Empire (women have a strong sense of revenge), she even asked the Italian Navy to build Italy's own battleships, asking for the most advanced super battleships that could fight against the Chinese Empire.

Now the Italian Navy was stunned, they didn't have that ability, not even a shipyard for fifty or sixty-ton battleships.

Soon, however, the Italian Navy remembered their ally, the German Empire, which was capable of competing with the Imperial Chinese Navy.

"What? Let's give them for free? ”

When Wilhelm II learned that the Italian Navy had asked the Imperial German Navy to provide them with the technology to build super-battleships, as well as to help the Italian Navy build the supporting shipyard facilities free of charge, his mustache instantly curled up.

"No, the super battleship construction technology is an advanced technology that we spent tens of billions of marks and was cheated countless times by the Chinese Empire, how can it be given to Italy in vain! Let them pay for it! ”

"Your Majesty, the Italian side has said that if we do not agree, they will reconsider German-Italian relations and Italian-Chinese relations!"

Poof!

When Wilhelm II heard this, he was so angry that he vomited three liters of blood.

"Nima, this is really a cheating wall!" (To be continued.) )
