On the first day of the Vienna Peace Conference, the meeting had to be adjourned because the differences between the two sides were too great and a fierce conflict broke out. Prince Felix, the prime minister of Austria-Hungary, who presided over the peace talks, knew that if the representatives of the two sides continued the peace talks, he did not know what would happen, and perhaps a fight would start because of this. Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Spain, José. Morality. Salamanca was particularly excited.

After the peace talks were suspended, Prince Felix went to the Belverdi Palace with a sad face to pay tribute to the Austrian Emperor Franz. Proclamation of Joseph I.

"Prime Minister, how are the peace talks going? Is there a result? "Austrian Emperor Franz. Joseph I asked expectantly. He was anxious that the peace talks would bear fruit. This was undoubtedly an opportunity to demonstrate the strength and influence of Austria-Hungary.

"Your Majesty, the peace talks have not led to anything. In the beginning, the two sides were locked in a heated quarrel. The differences in demand between the two sides are too great! Prince Felix said, shaking his head.

"How so?" Austrian Emperor Franz. Joseph I frowned. Originally, he thought that the countries would be a little more restrained after coming to Vienna at the request of Austria-Hungary. After all, this is to save face for Austria-Hungary as the host! Austria-Hungary was not a small country, but one of the great powers of the world. This is especially true at a time when the North Atlantic military alliance and the Asia-Europe military alliance are in serious opposition. No matter which alliance Austria-Hungary joined, it would pose a great threat to the other.

"Your Majesty, the Spaniards proposed that the French troops immediately withdraw from Spanish territory and take the Don. Prince Carlos was placed at the disposal of the Spanish government. At the same time, the Kingdom of Spain was compensated for the loss of 100 million Chinese dollars. This was ruthlessly rejected by Count Valevsky! Therefore, the two sides began to quarrel! Prince Felix explained.

"The Spaniards have made such a demanding request? Damn, are they opening their mouths wide open? "Franz. Joseph I was a little annoyed. He could not tolerate such blackmail. In his opinion. This is simply not to give face to Austria-Hungary.

Prince Felix looked at Franz helplessly. Joseph I at a glance. It seems that the Austrian Emperor Franz. Joseph I's attitude did change. And whether this change of attitude was good or bad for Austria-Hungary, no one can tell!

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Spain was invaded by France. It is true that there has been a huge loss. Although their conditions may be a bit harsh, they are not incomprehensible! Prince Felix said. In his opinion. The Kingdom of Spain was perfectly justified in making such a request. After all, they were invaded and paid heavy losses.

"Didn't the British bring up their previous mentions?" Franz. Joseph I continued to ask.

"陛xià. The Earl of Granville proposed two Spanish builds. But. As soon as this proposal was proposed, it was sternly rejected. All the countries of the Eurasian military alliance have expressed their rejection and rejection of this construction! Prince Felix said.

Franz. Joseph I's brow furrowed together. Originally, in his opinion, the proposal proposed by the British side was very feasible. After all, a small piece of land was carved out to house the Don. Prince Carlos, it's not a big deal. Tang Dynasty. Prince Carlos is also the uncle of Queen Isabella II, if he hadn't been cheated, he would have become the king of the Kingdom of Spain. The Spaniards did it. It's too ruthless!

"Prime Minister, do your best to facilitate this peace talks!" Franz. Joseph I said. He is already a little disgusted with the Asia-Europe military alliance. Think they're getting an inch. Meantime. also thinks that his face has been swept away.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Prince Felix nodded. However, he knows that this is not a small difficulty.

At the same time, in the embassy of the Chinese Empire in Austria-Hungary, Wei Yuan, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire, was meeting with the Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia, Albrech. Feng. Ron meets.

"Your Excellency Wei Yuan, it seems that if you want to have a result this time, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. The attitude of the military alliance in the North Atlantic was also tough, especially that of Austria-Hungary. I don't know, they will really fall to the North Atlantic military alliance. That's when our worst fears come true. "Albrech. Feng. Ron said.

"Well, it seems so. The Emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire seems to have made an unwise choice! This will indeed cause us a lot of trouble, but it will not pose a complete threat to us. As long as we are well prepared, even if Austria-Hungary joins the North Atlantic Military Alliance, it will not prevent us from winning the next war! Wei Yuan said.

Albrech. Feng. Ron nodded. In the last Austro-Prussian war, the top brass of the Kingdom of Prussia had realized that Austria-Hungary, although it was a great power, was nothing more than a weak power. Although their army is quite numerous, its combat effectiveness is extremely low. This did not pose much of a threat to the Kingdom of Prussia. At that time, as long as a certain number of troops were deployed in the south and the Kingdom of Sardinia was to flank Austria-Hungary, it would be enough to hold them back. Of course, the main enemies of the Kingdom of Prussia were France and Russia!

"However, Your Excellency Wei Yuan, I think we still cannot give up the fight for Austria-Hungary. If we can draw Austria-Hungary into our alliance, it will be of great benefit to us! "Albrech. Feng. Ron said.

"Yes, Lord Ron." Wei Yuan nodded, of course he didn't want the worst to happen. In this case, it will increase the cost of the empire's victory.

"Your Excellency Wei Yuan, I think the two of us can go to meet the young emperor of Austria-Hungary, show our attitude, and even formally ask Austria-Hungary to join our alliance! Perhaps, they will be tempted! "Albrech. Feng. Ron said. The reason why the Kingdom of Prussia wanted to draw Austria-Hungary into the alliance was that it did not want to be besieged. That would make the Kingdom of Prussia very passive, and even if it would win the war in the future, the price to pay would not be small. If Austria-Hungary had joined the Asia-Europe military alliance, the result would have been completely different.

"Okay, Lord Ron, I have no opinion. The Chinese Empire is willing to make Austria-Hungary our ally, and we can show our sincerity. Wei Yuan said with a smile, there was no need for him to be too stiff with the Kingdom of Prussia on this issue.

Subsequently, Wei Yuan and Albrech. Feng. Ron takes a horse-drawn carriage to Belverdi Palace. At the time of their departure, someone had already been sent to inform the Austro-Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Prime Minister's Office. In Wei Yuan and Albrech. Feng. When Ron arrived, Prince Felix, Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was already waiting outside Belverdi Palace.

"Your Excellencies, come with me, Your Majesty is already waiting for you!" Prince Felix had a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, Prime Minister!" Wei Yuan and Albrecht. Feng. Ron said.

In one of the gardens of the Belverdi Palace, Wei Yuan and Albrech. Feng. Ron met Franz. Joseph I. The season is spring, and the garden is in full bloom and is very beautiful.

It's just that Franz who was sitting in the garden. Joseph I, whose face seemed somewhat unnatural.

Obviously, Franz. Joseph I had little affection for the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia. It's just that both the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia are great powers in the world, and they are even more powerful countries than the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Chinese Empire was a great power that could compete with Britain, and the Kingdom of Prussia had defeated Austria-Hungary last time, giving Austria-Hungary a taste of the power of the Kingdom of Prussia. Therefore, Franz. Joseph I, even if he was dissatisfied, could not refuse to receive the foreign ministers of the two countries.

"Good afternoon!" Wei Yuan greeted with a smile.

"Your Excellency Wei Yuan, hello, please take a seat!" Franz. Joseph I said.

Albrech. Feng. Ron also stepped forward to meet Franz. Joseph I, conveying greetings from King Wilhelm I of Prussia.

A few people began to greet each other in the gardens of Belverdi's Palace, but they were talking about something that was not nutritious.

Franz. Joseph I was too young and obviously under-educated to compare with these old fellows. So, it didn't take long for me to become a little impatient.

"Your Excellency Wei Yuan, Your Excellency Ron. I heard that during the peace talks in the morning, the attitude of the Asia-Europe military alliance was very tough, and the peace talks could not continue! "Franz. Joseph I said.

Wei Yuan and Albrecht. Feng. Ron's face suddenly became a little ugly. Was Joseph I's tone questioning them? And, the blame for the suspension of the negotiations is placed on them. Obviously, Franz. The attitude of Joseph I already showed which side Austria-Hungary was on.

Prince Felix, Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was also shocked when he heard this, isn't this determined to offend the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia? This is not good for Austria-Hungary!

"Your Majesty, in the morning negotiations, the Kingdom of Spain has made only reasonable demands. However, it was rejected by the North Atlantic Military Alliance. As for the conditions proposed by the North Atlantic Military Alliance, they were simply intended to sacrifice the interests of the Kingdom of Spain. As a member of the Eurasian military alliance, the Kingdom of Spain will never allow the interests of our allies to be harmed! Wei Yuan said sternly. (To be continued......)
