When the Holy Alliance's war was not going well, it was not so easy for the Kingdom of Italy to jump off the ship of the Holy Alliance, and it had to be supported by the Peace Alliance led by the Chinese Empire. And for this, the Kingdom of Italy must pay a certain price. Thus, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Italy, Betino. After arriving in Huaxia City, Ricasoli negotiated with the Imperial Foreign Minister Wei Yuan.

Perhaps it was because he was shocked by the strong military strength displayed by the empire. So, Betino. Ricasoli was weak in the negotiations, and this gave the empire an opportunity to further squeeze the Kingdom of Italy.

Emperor Long Yufei did not like Italy, a two-faced traitor. However, for the sake of national interests, it is undoubtedly very beneficial to let the Italians go and draw them into the camp of the peace alliance, which is very beneficial to win the war. That's why he made this decision. Of course, it would have been impossible for the Italians not to satisfy the Reich in order to make up for the mistakes they had committed before.

The Chinese Empire demanded that the Kingdom of Italy formally declare its independence from the Holy Alliance and join the Peace Alliance, and that the diplomatic personnel of the other members of the Holy League in the Kingdom of Italy be expelled and severed diplomatic relations with them.

The two million armies of the Kingdom of Italy, from the day they joined the Peace League, had to fight under the command of the Chinese* army. If the Kingdom of Italy failed to fight well, then the Chinese Empire had the right to reconsider the position of the Kingdom of Italy in the Peace League and the distribution of benefits after the war. This is undoubtedly to force the Kingdom of Italy to break in this war, and it is necessary to risk your life to fight a bloody battle.

In addition, the Kingdom of Italy needs to open all its territories to the Peace Alliance. So that the Peace League could use the territory of the Kingdom of Italy to launch an offensive against the German Empire. For example, the Chinese Air Force could build airfields in northern Italy. Then they crossed the Alps and bombed the German mainland. Of course. The Alps are high and not so easy to climb successfully.

Finally, the Kingdom of Italy had to compensate the Chinese Empire for the losses of a total of one billion Chinese dollars. The reason for this is mainly because the Kingdom of Italy has concentrated heavy forces in the Mediterranean, which makes it impossible for the Chinese Empire's 3rd Army and other naval and air forces deployed in the Mediterranean to be put into other theaters, thus weakening the strength of the Chinese Empire. And the Kingdom of Italy has to make reparations for this.

Overall. These conditions put forward by the Chinese Empire were already very harsh. However, this is the last chance for the Kingdom of Italy. If they refused, then they would have to bury the Germans. Therefore, even if the conditions offered by the Chinese Empire were harsh, the Italians had to accept them. After all, in this way, they can at least not be wiped out. This is Betino. After Ricasoli sent back to the Kingdom of Italy the conditions proposed by the Chinese Empire, the opinion of the Prime Minister, Count Cavour.

After all. The Peace League accepted the Kingdom of Italy, which allowed the Kingdom of Italy to escape its previous fate. When the Peace Alliance wins the war, they will also be among the victorious powers. The victorious country has all its strength to slaughter the defeated country. Many of the members of the Holy Alliance will undoubtedly be targeted by them. As long as you can get some benefits from these defeated countries. Then some of the costs paid by the Kingdom of Italy now seem insignificant. Therefore, get rid of the Holy Alliance. Joining the Peace Alliance is the most important thing.

King Vittorio of Italy. King Emanuele II was convinced. He also knew that this was the last chance for the Kingdom of Italy. If it refuses again, the Kingdom of Italy will probably have only one way to be destroyed. So. He eventually agreed to these harsh conditions put forward by the Chinese Empire. In particular, the billions of Chinese dollars in compensation for losses were all borne by the Italian royal family. Almost all of the wealth they got from the Vatican was lost, which made Vittorio . King Emanuele II's heart felt as if blood was dripping from his heart.

The reason why the emperor Long Yufei agreed to accept the Italians was actually because he had his own considerations. First of all, the strength of the Kingdom of Italy is not weak, and their participation in the Peace Alliance can make the alliance even stronger, and it will be a huge blow to the Holy Alliance led by the Germans. Secondly, Long Yufei also had to lay out the situation after the war. In post-war Europe, the German Empire and other members of the Holy Alliance will collapse, and part of its territory will be occupied by the victorious powers, and the other part will be divided into small states, thus completely removing their threat to the world hegemony of the Chinese Empire. In this case, post-war Europe would be dominated by the Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of Belgium, and other countries. The kingdoms of Spain and Belgium, which have become stronger, can hardly guarantee that they will not have any careful thoughts. Therefore, the empire hoped to prop up an Italian kingdom and make Europe a triumvirate. In this case, a divided Europe is inevitable. Naturally, a divided Europe could not influence the world hegemony of the Chinese Empire. As long as the Chinese Empire itself does not collapse, the world hegemony of the Chinese Empire can continue forever.

On November 12, 1863, the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Betino. Ricasoli and Wei Yuan, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire, formally signed an agreement, and from now on, the Chinese Empire, on behalf of the Peace Alliance, formally accepted the Kingdom of Italy as a part of the Peace Alliance. The Kingdom of Italy will officially fulfill its obligations as an ally and join the side of the Peace Alliance.

At the same time, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Italy, Count Cavour, also officially announced in Rome that the Kingdom of Italy would withdraw from the Holy Alliance and join the Peace Alliance with immediate effect. He also declared that the Kingdom of Italy had made a mistake by agreeing to join the Holy League, and that they had now realized that the Peace Alliance was just. That is why the Kingdom of Italy joined the Peace Alliance.

Although, the reasons of the Italians are very shameless. However, it does show that the Kingdom of Italy did so solely for its own benefit. For the sake of the country, they did not hesitate to be traitors again.

The betrayal of the Kingdom of Italy caused an uproar, and all the countries were shocked. No one seems to have imagined that the Italians would be traitors again, just like in the last world war. It's just that in the last world war, the Italians betrayed the victors and sided with the losers. But what about this time? It seems that the Italians will not be so unlucky anymore. They betrayed the losers and sided with the winners.

On the side of the Peace Alliance, several member states have little regard for the accession of the Kingdom of Italy. After all, a hard war is going on now, and having a strong helper will also help them end the war as soon as possible. Although the Peace Alliance had the upper hand in this great war, while inflicting huge losses on the Holy Alliance, its own casualties were not small. If the war can be ended sooner, then why not? Of course, this will inevitably have a certain impact on their post-war interests. This was unavoidable, and at the behest of the Chinese Empire, there was no possibility of them refusing.

As for the Holy Alliance's side, the impact was much greater. The Kingdom of Italy is an important member of the Holy League! Even they were not optimistic about the performance of the Holy Alliance in this world war, and did not hesitate to become traitors again. This undoubtedly indicates that the Holy Alliance is likely to lose in this war. Therefore, other Member States had to consider their own interests.

This is especially true of countries that are not willing to join the Holy Alliance in the first place. For example, the Kingdom of Norway, Sweden and Denmark in Northern Europe joined the Holy Alliance solely because they were threatened by Germany. If they didn't join, the ferocious German army would have destroyed their country. In order to keep their country, they had to join the German-led Holy Alliance. Now the Italians have openly betrayed the Holy Alliance, creating a glimmer of opportunity for them to get rid of the Holy Alliance. These countries also began to contact the Chinese Empire behind their backs, hoping to learn from the Kingdom of Italy. And this also made the Holy Alliance fall into turmoil.

"Damn, despicable Italians, we shouldn't have helped them in the first place. Now, that's how they repay the Empire! In the Imperial Palace in Berlin, the German capital, Kaiser Wilhelm I could no longer contain his anger.

The high-level officials in Germany also had gloomy faces one by one. The betrayal of the Italians can be described as a slap in the face! It is ridiculous that at the Istanbul Peace Conference, they were still so partial to the Kingdom of Italy that the Kingdom of Italy was spared more severe punishment. Moreover, before the start of the war, Germany also took great pains to help the Kingdom of Italy develop armaments and arm them. Most of the weapons used by the two million armies of the Kingdom of Italy were made in Germany! Now, those huge investments are undoubtedly in vain! What's more, the betrayal of the Kingdom of Italy has caused a serious crisis in the entire Holy Alliance, and if it is not properly handled, the Holy Alliance will fall apart at the moment. Once Germany is alone, it will be even more impossible for them to defeat the Chinese Empire. This is the biggest problem in front of them. (To be continued......)
