Chapter 1241: The Peace of Intentions

On the issue of disposing of Italy, the delegation of the Chinese Empire acted as spectators and did not say a word. The Chinese Empire has reaped enough benefits from the Kingdom of Italy, so naturally there is no need to pull hatred anymore. Of course, when the two hardcore allies of the empire made claims against the Kingdom of Italy, the Chinese empire would also be on their side. In any case, the Empire's hardcore allies cannot be treated badly.

"Ten million dollars? No, are you calling Hanako? This is an insult to the Ottoman Turkish Empire, it means war! "Ali. The Pasha shouted frantically. It is simply unacceptable that the Kingdom of Italy should only compensate the Ottoman Turkish Empire with 10 million Chinese dollars.

"If the Kingdom of Italy insists on this amount of reparations, the Ottoman Turkish Empire will not be able to accept it, and it will mean war!" Mustafa. Lester. Pasha said with a very ugly face.

Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck's brows also furrowed, and he also felt that the war indemnity of 10 million Chinese dollars given by the Kingdom of Italy was too little. Although the Kingdom of Prussia does not want to see the Kingdom of Italy weakened, it also needs everyone to be able to get by!

"Your Excellency Count Cavour, the war indemnity of 10 million Chinese dollars is too little, let the Kingdom of Italy reconsider!" Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck said. Although the Kingdom of Prussia decided to help the Kingdom of Italy, they could not say anything more when the Kingdom of Italy was still so low. After all, the Ottoman Turkish Empire would not necessarily accept the persuasion of the Kingdom of Prussia. On the contrary, it is possible that the Ottoman Turkish Empire will hold a grudge against the Kingdom of Prussia.

Count Cavour and Betino. Rickasoli whispered a few words and then said, "Okay. For the sake of the face of the Kingdom of Prussia, the Kingdom of Italy was willing to pay the Ottoman Turkish Empire a war reparation of 50 million Chinese dollars. This is already the greatest effort of the Kingdom of Italy! ā€

The increase from 10 million Chinese dollars to 50 million Chinese dollars shows the sincerity of the Kingdom of Italy. However, this is undoubtedly a big gap from the requirements of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

"Humph! The Ottoman Turkish Empire was also willing to take a step back, and the Kingdom of Italy only needed to pay the Ottoman Turkish Empire's war reparations of 500 million Chinese dollars! "The Ottoman Turkish Empire gave up 500 million Chinese dollars in one go.

"No, it's impossible, 500 million Chinese dollars is too much! The Kingdom of Italy could not accept it! Count Cavour shook his head. Again, this is beyond the bottom line that the Kingdom of Italy can accept.

The delegation of the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the delegation of the Kingdom of Italy once again argued. The Ottoman Turkish Empire attempted to obtain more war reparations from the Kingdom of Italy. The Kingdom of Italy, on the other hand, wanted to pay as little war reparations as possible. The differences between the two countries are very large, and it will be very difficult to reach an agreement.

"The Kingdom of Prussia mentions. The Kingdom of Italy paid war reparations of 100 million Chinese dollars to the Ottoman Turkish Empire. What do you think? "Otto. Feng. Once again, Prime Minister Bismarck proposed to build yƬ.

In this era, the war reparations of 100 million Chinese dollars are already a lot. The Ottoman Turkish Empire ordered so many warships from the Chinese Empire, and the total payment was only 89 million Chinese dollars? If the Ottoman Empire had agreed, the war reparations it had received from the Kingdom of Italy alone would have been able to pay for the purchase of ships, leaving 11 million Chinese dollars left.

Still, the Ottoman Turks hoped to get more war reparations. No country would be surprised by the fact that war reparations are small. However, the Kingdom of Italy, with the support of the Kingdom of Prussia, refused to budge. The Chinese Empire was reluctant to take a stand. Therefore, the Ottoman Turkish Empire had to accept the war reparations of 100 million Chinese dollars.

The quarrel between the Kingdom of Italy and the Ottoman Turkish Empire wasted an afternoon. So much so that after the agreement between the Kingdom of Italy and the Ottoman Turkish Empire, today's meeting had to end.

That same evening. The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Spain, the Duke of Valencia, and the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Belgium, Charles. Rozhye again went to the embassy of the Chinese Empire in the Ottoman Turkish Empire to ask for the opinion of the Chinese Empire. Tomorrow, both of them will make their demands to the Kingdom of Italy, but if their intentions are to be realized, the support of the Chinese Empire is indispensable. In the midst of negotiations this afternoon. Didn't the Kingdom of Italy, with the support of the Kingdom of Prussia, reach an agreement with the Ottoman Turkish Empire with a war reparations of 100 million Chinese dollars? Otherwise. The greedy Ottoman Turks would have demanded more war reparations.

"Your Excellency, the Kingdom of Spain plans to propose to the Kingdom of Italy a war reparation of 200 million Chinese dollars in the negotiations tomorrow. What do you think of this condition? Will the Kingdom of Italy accept it? The Duke of Valencia asked.

Lin Zihao frowned, and then said, "Two hundred million yuan is a bit too much. The Ottoman Turks only demanded 100 million yuan in war reparations. The Kingdom of Spain could not have received more reparations than the Ottoman Empire! ā€

"Could it be that with the support of the Chinese Empire, we will not be able to succeed?" The Duke of Valencia asked.

"The Chinese Empire, of course, will be on the side of the Kingdom of Spain. However, if the Kingdom of Italy had paid the Kingdom of Spain 200 million Chinese dollars in war reparations, this would have aroused strong resentment from the Ottoman Empire. At that time, I am afraid that this peace meeting will not be able to go on again! Lin Zihao explained. He knew very well that the Kingdom of Spain was eager to stab the Kingdom of Italy with a knife on it. And hopefully the Chinese Empire will support them. However, the Chinese Empire also had its own considerations.

The Duke of Valencia frowned, seemingly a little unwilling.

"Your Excellency, the Kingdom of Italy is not important, what matters is the next negotiations between France and England, that is the big one!" Imperial Foreign Minister Wei Yuan reminded.

The Duke of Valencia nodded, yes, the Kingdom of Italy is not worth mentioning at all compared to France and England. Neither wealth nor anything else is comparable to France and England. The Kingdom of Spain will take part in the disposition of France and England, and even if it can only drink soup behind the ass of the Chinese Empire, it will obviously not gain less benefits than the benefits received from the Kingdom of Italy.

"How much benefit, then, is it appropriate for the Kingdom of Spain to claim?" The Duke of Valencia asked.

"Like the Ottoman Turkish Empire, 100 million Chinese dollars!" Lin Zihao said.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister!" The Duke of Valencia accepted this condition. After all, 100 million Chinese dollars is already a lot, and the Kingdom of Spain only spent 85 million Chinese dollars to buy warships from the Chinese Empire. After getting this 100 million Chinese dollars, not only can all the payments be paid, but 15 million Chinese dollars will be left.

"Your Excellency, what about the Kingdom of Belgium?" Shire. Rozhye asked. After the amount proposed by the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Spain, the Duke of Valencia, was not supported, he directly asked Lin Zihao how much war reparations the Kingdom of Belgium could get.

"Kingdom of Belgium, ask for 60 million war reparations!" Lin Zihao thought for a moment, and then said.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister!" Shire. Prime Minister Rozhye nodded. The Kingdom of Belgium was nothing more than a European effect, and they were already satisfied with the war reparations of 60 million Chinese dollars. After deducting the 55.5 million Chinese dollars paid to the Chinese Empire for the purchase of ships, the Kingdom of Belgium was able to leave 4.5 million Chinese dollars.

The next day, on the morning of November 12, the disposition of the Kingdom of Italy continued. During the negotiations, the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium demanded war reparations of 100 million and 60 million Chinese dollars.

The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Italy, Count Cavour, refused, wanting to lower the war reparations a little. However, at this time, the Chinese Empire stepped in.

With the support of the Chinese Empire, the Kingdom of Italy had no choice but to accede to the demands of the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium.

Of course, the Ottoman Turks were somewhat unhappy that the Spanish kingdom would receive the same war reparations as theirs. It's just that behind the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium stands the Chinese Empire, and even if they are dissatisfied, there is no way.

Immediately afterwards, the Kingdom of Prussia also made its own demands. They demanded that the Kingdom of Italy pay the Kingdom of Prussia a war reparation of 200 million Chinese dollars. In this regard, the Kingdom of Italy did not even oppose it, and directly agreed.

Finally, there is the Chinese Empire. Because the Chinese Empire had signed a secret agreement with the Kingdom of Italy. Therefore, the Chinese Empire only said it according to the contents of the secret agreement. However, this still shocked other countries. Except for the Kingdom of Prussia, which already knew the contents of the secret treaty signed between the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Italy.

The Kingdom of Italy will pay a billion Chinese dollars in compensation to the Chinese Empire, and will also cede Sardinia and Sicily to the Chinese Empire, and in addition, the military strength of the Kingdom of Italy will be limited, the army shall not exceed 50,000 men, the navy shall not exceed 10,000 men, and the navy shall not have warships with a displacement of more than 1,500 tons. It can be said that the conditions put forward by the Chinese Empire were even harsher than those of other countries combined.

However, to the surprise of all countries, the Kingdom of Italy did not have any objection to the conditions of the Chinese Empire, and directly nodded and agreed. Although the Kingdom of Italy also considered this condition to be very harsh, they did not dare to refute it. Otherwise, the Chinese Empire would have perished on theirs.

Subsequently, all the countries signed a peace treaty with the delegation of the Kingdom of Italy, which is known as the "Peace Treaty of the Eurasian Military Alliance on the Disposal of the Kingdom of Italy." (To be continued)
