The Russians have become cunning, and since I don't have to get involved in the struggle for African colonies, why don't I use my own support to sell Russia for a good price? Of course, a good price has to wait slowly, so there is no need to rush. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

And the relationship between Germany and Austria, that is very delicate, the two countries used to be the largest vassal states under the German Confederation, both belong to the Germanic nation, are descendants of the Holy Roman Empire, one south and one north is a moment of brightness, in fact, Austria Vienna also has the ambition of unifying the German Confederation, but the heart is weak, the effort is not strong enough, the defeat of the Austro-Prussian War, completely extinguished the ambition of Austria, not only extinguished the ambition, but also expelled Austria from the German-German Empire, This is a very difficult thing to accept, and the relationship between the two countries is said to be very good, but in many international affairs, the two countries, which are compatriots, have to face a lot of pressure and have to stand together. In addition, Joseph of Austria-Hungary was also very envious of many things in Germany, envious of the German emperor's arbitrariness and the prosperity of heavy industry. And the idea of Austria-Hungary is similar to that of Russia, they don't have much navy, and finally have access to the sea, but the separatism in Bulgaria and other areas of the sea is very serious, which is not good for naval construction, if you want to establish a colony in Africa, a decent navy is necessary, since these elements are missing, of course, Africa is not interested, for this explosives like the Congo River, there is a mentality of staying out of the show, for him, during the activities of this meeting, It is even more important to keep an eye on the Russians' attempts to continue to diplomatically pressure Ottoman Turkey to once again assert control of the Black Sea region.

This meeting is not just a time to discuss Africa, Russia thinks that since it has come, it can't come in vain, and always has to find something to do, Ottoman Turkey, as the only country directly related to the territory of Africa, and a "powerful country" on the three continents of Asia, Europe and Africa, was also invited to participate in this meeting, his nominal territory Egypt and Libya and Ethiopia are all places where he must maintain and live, no one is a fool, and the sixteen most powerful countries in the world participated in a major international conference, Who would believe that it was to solve the Congo River? Ottoman Turkey had to keep a tight eye on his territory to prevent it from being sold in his absence, not to mention that he had to win the support of the international community for his territory in Asia Minor and the Black Sea region, after all, the Russians were so evil that they never stopped expanding their ambitions from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean Sea.

The excessive expansion of the Russians in the Black Sea and the encroachment on the Balkan Peninsula were very opposed by Austria-Hungary, which was still very centripetal to the Slavic peoples, and would really threaten the rule of Austria-Hungary, so that Austria-Hungary had to stand with Britain for a while and work together against polar bears.

The game of interests between countries is too powerful, the only one that can be here on the European continent, and there is only about one country outside the world, and this country that is detached from the outside world and does not seem to have seven emotions and six desires, but it is still a large country of considerable scale and a strong country to a certain extent, for international affairs, since the queen mother who was gnitted by the French, Spanish and Dutch began to govern, it has been quickly and very sophisticated into various affairs, of course, it is a small thing, but it is undeniable, their ambitions are slowly starting to grow, and of course they will need to have a say.

"Our two countries began to become strong almost when they were together," said the German foreign minister, which is of course a modest statement, because the victory of Prussia in the Franco-Prussian War did not mean that Germany began to become stronger, this is the time when Germany is strong and needs to be treated correctly, and China at this time, it is just a fluke to win a local war on the ground, at this time, Britain and France, still can't see China clearly. It was after the Battle of the North Sea that countries began to face China squarely, and this was after the Battle of Vietnam six years ago.

"Therefore, it is clear that we do not have the same power as other countries of equal status in the world to control and influence the situation in the world, and I also believe that your country should want to collide with or challenge the existing system, which is old and anachronistic, and cannot meet the requirements of Germany and China for the division of spheres of influence in the world domain, no matter how much your country declares that it will not interfere in international affairs, this cannot be denied. Your country's willingness to come to the Berlin Conference shows that your country is willing to make your voice heard in international affairs, which is a very happy thing for us in Germany, the emerging powers, who started a little late, and cannot seek suitable interests by relying on their own strength, then of course we need your country, this alliance of countries that have become strong together with Germany at about the same time, or help! Obviously, China's so-called rise or rejuvenation in recent years is far later than Germany, but in the face of the praise of the Germans, Zeng Jize must express his gratitude, and there are other meanings in the words of praise, indicating that Germany has now adopted an equal status for exchanges with China, and will not be like some countries shouting all day long, "Our artillery has brought advanced civilization and ideas to China, and without our exchanges, China will not be able to get out of ignorance!" ”

What the German Foreign Minister said was already very explicit, Zeng Jize nodded, "Thank you for your compliment, I fully understand the connotation of this meeting, everyone is not here to mediate the dispute in the Congo River Basin, but for a larger scale, for the division of power in the whole of Africa, isn't it?" ”

"Yes," the German Foreign Minister nodded in acknowledgement, "and we cordially invite your country to join in this division of forces. (To be continued.) )
