Chapter 185: Revision (End)

Unexpectedly, in the face of Bismarck's lion's big mouth, Carlo did not hesitate at all, and immediately agreed to the other party. But if you want to eat Carlo's stuff, you can't do it without paying the price. I saw that Carlo then reported a few techniques that needed to be exchanged, which made Bismarck unable to speak.

"We only need to participate in your country's tungsten alloy tool experiment, to be able to share technology, in addition to Krupp's armor steel research and development China can join, as well as your country's dye technology, China can hand over the technology of alternating current."

The technologies that Carlo opened his mouth are all technologies that Germany is proud of. Tungsten alloy tools are being developed, which are incubators for German compact machines, and Krupp's steel technology is also very good. As for dye technology, this is the fist product exported by Germany, and its derived chemical technology has made Germany always at the forefront of the chemical road.

Bismarck, on the other hand, listened to Carlo's words, and his face became ugly. Obviously, Bismarck could not have come up with these technologies, and this is related to the jobs of millions of people in these industries in Germany.

"I'm sorry, we can't give these technologies because they are the wealth of private enterprises, and we can't do anything to take the wealth of others."

Facing the words of the iron-blooded prime minister, Carlo smiled slightly. "Our country's alternating current technology is also the wealth of Westinghouse Electric Company, and our country cannot do anything to seize the wealth of others. So I think it's better to start cooperating with military technology first. ”

At this time, Prime Minister Bismarck could no longer talk about alternating current technology, and could only turn back to the military technology that Carlo talked about. To be reasonable, at present, Italy does not have much military technology that can come up with it, and warship technology is already its fist.

Of course, it should also be noted that, with the exception of Chancellor Bismarck and a few others, the other German delegates all had expressions of interest. It can also be said that the desire for the sea in Germany has already begun to develop. Even if Bismarck continues to be prime minister, it will not be able to suppress the pursuit of overseas interests by all strata at home.

In particular, the bourgeoisie, which is gradually growing in size, is even more eager for the market. At this time, Germany was a bit like the Celestial Empire, but in this era, the tariffs of various countries were high, so that there was no sufficient market for German goods.

If Germany had the market for India or the Qing Dynasty alone, it would not be urgent at all, but it would not be for nothing.

Then this requires the German government to find a market for it, and a politician like Bismarck, who pays attention to the local area and does not pay attention to overseas development, is destined not to be accommodated by the bourgeoisie.

This is why Wilhelm II can attract a lot of cheers from the people as long as he holds high the banner of opening up overseas. For example, Germany also needs land under the sun, and how can the bourgeoisie not cheer if it shows that it needs a new market.

"We can exchange artillery, rifles and other army weapons and equipment, as well as communication and command technology."

At this point, Bismarck had not yet reacted.

Carlo didn't give him a chance to react, and immediately picked up. "Alright, let's do it."

At this time, the deputy stabbed the prime minister with his finger next to him and whispered. "Last time, the Italians had already come to buy a batch of equipment and technology for the army, and at present, only the most advanced batch of Krupp's artillery technology remains."

Faced with the words of his deputy, Bismarck knew that he was being teased by the young Italian king. But it didn't matter, there was still a long way to go, and he wanted to see how the Italians would revise the fourth article.

"It's not too early, so let's continue to talk tomorrow!"

Unexpectedly, Carlo took out the exemption card for another day and stopped answering.

This made Bismarck, who was brewing a rhetoric, only forcibly hold back his words.

"Okay, let's continue to talk tomorrow, and I hope King Carlo will continue to appear at the negotiating table."

After secretly sarcastically saying a word to the other party, Bismarck took the German delegation and left. As for Kaiser Wilhelm, after quietly giving Carlo a thumbs up, he also left.

When the Italian delegation was left in the room, Carlo spoke to them.

"Okay, everyone's tired today, let's go back too."

Carlo and his entourage then walked out of the Prime Minister's Office.

In the Prime Minister's Office, as Prime Minister Bismarck, he was already calm at this time. Although the confrontation with the hairy boy Carlo was slightly inferior, he did not expect that the young Italian king would be caught off guard by such a disregard for face.

But it doesn't matter, he has come with a lot of wind and waves, and he can still be hit by Italy's small means. I didn't take it into account before, but now that I think about it, the next negotiation situation will be different.

And he also saw that the Italians would definitely revise Article 4, but it would not be easy to get their wish. Because he had only one purpose in winning over Italy, that is, he needed the Italians to look at the south of France, and he had to dispel the unrealistic illusions of Italy.

So for the next negotiations, he will not let go. I hope that when the time comes, the Italians will not cry too ugly.

Prime Minister Bismarck was already in high spirits when he imagined tomorrow's negotiations, and as for Carlo, they were still on their way back to the collapse in a carriage.

Looking out the window at the stunning view of Berlin, Carlo suddenly spoke. "The next thing we need to do is change our strategy and start a backup plan."

Thinking of today's war of words with Prime Minister Bismarck, Bacona was ashamed of his performance, because the few bright spots in this negotiation were basically reached by the king.

"Okay then, I'll go to the embassy in person and send a secret message in person, and immediately activate the backup plan."

"Be careful, don't let anyone know about this plan."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After a brief conversation between the two, Bacona immediately changed into another very ordinary carriage, and when he passed a street intersection, he took the opportunity to blend in with the army of carriages on the street.

As for Carlo, he took the delegation all the way back to the collapse.

A new day, a new beginning.

So a new round of negotiations began.

It was still Bacona sitting opposite Bismarck, but this time the members of the two delegations frequently looked at Carlo who was sitting on the side, and even Kaiser Wilhelm next to him felt a little uncomfortable.

And in the face of such attention, Carlo is as steady as a mountain under his feet.

"Next, let's move on to negotiations."

After speaking first, Bismarck continued. "As for the draft proposed by your side, we believe that this is very inappropriate, and it goes against the consensus between the two parties a few years ago, so China does not want to see this and the article develops in an uncontrollable direction."

"Prime Minister Bismarck, this is not uncontrollable, it is just a way for our country to want to strengthen the ties between the two countries."

In the face of Bismarck's words, as the negotiator of the Italian side, Bacona certainly needs to fight with force.

However, his words did not impress Prime Minister Bismarck, who shook his head one after another.

Then Prime Minister Bismarck asked several questions one after another, and Bacona answered them one by one. Although it seems that the two sides are asking and answering, everyone can see that the Italian side has always been at a disadvantage, and the German side has no power to fight back at all.

But no matter how disadvantaged the Italian delegation was this time, Carlo did not move. Such a move made Bismarck can't help but cast a trace of doubtful gaze.

However, since Carlo is not out, then everyone can see that there is not much Italy can hold on to in this negotiation. In the end, the result of this negotiation was to adopt the original version of Article 4; In the event that a Power not signatory to this Treaty threatens the national security of one of the High Contracting Parties, and that High Contracting State is compelled to wage war with it, the other High Contracting Parties shall be obliged to remain neutral vis-à-vis the Allied Powers and reserve the right to enter into war at the appropriate time.

Faced with such a result, the Italian side had no choice but to accept it. It's just that the victorious Prime Minister Bismarck didn't notice it, and the corners of Carlo's mouth curled slightly when he saw this.

It doesn't matter, we've got one more next.

I'm in a good mood
