The hustle and bustle of the party has disappeared after a night of precipitation, and a new day is coming. The three monarchs (princes) are also reunited, but there are more important things to talk about.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here, in addition to sharing friendship, I also want to talk about the cooperation between our three countries."

As the host, Wilhelm II has always made an opening statement.

Without waiting for William to continue, Carlo agreed. "That's right, William. Our three countries occupy a vast area of Central and Southern Europe, and as long as our three countries are united, they will be able to make a bigger voice in the world. Let all countries listen carefully to what we have to say. Therefore, we can reach cooperation in the military, diplomatic, and people's livelihood to the satisfaction of the three sides. ”

Hearing Carlo's very agreeing words, William looked at him and said. "Carlo, do you have any good opinions?"

"Yes, I have a little opinion."

Carlo waved his hand to the waiting attendants. "Bring me a map of Europe."

After the squire brought the map, Carlo pointed to the spread map. "As for the alliance of our three countries, I believe that both of us can feel the benefits. Our country borders France on the west of Germany, and we in Germany and Italy can put pressure on France both by land and sea, and France must consider both our navy and army, and the pressure on their defense will be very great, which will help these Gauls, who may have hot brains, to sober up.

To the east of your two countries is the polar bear Russia, which has been quiet over the years, but this bear is very restless, especially after the Bank of France helped him sort out his finances, and this bear threatened the two of them. And for a threatening Russia, we cannot let our guard down, so it is very important to work together against the enemy. ”

Saying this, Carlo looked at Ferdinand. "Ferdinand, we in Italy don't have much interest in the Balkans anymore, and we can't take care of anything other than securing our territory in the Balkans. So in the Balkans, we should be collaborators, not competitors. ”

In the face of Carlo's sudden move, Archduke Ferdinand was a little unprepared. "Carlo, is there a misunderstanding?"

"Nothing, I just reiterate my country's position in the Balkans, believe it or not, my country has no time or energy to pay attention to the Balkans. The problems of the Far East are enough headaches for our country, and we do not want to distract our limited energies, which will lead to the inability to do anything. ”

Carlo didn't know how to answer Ferdinand, so he had to speak. "Carlo, my country does not regard your country as a competitor."

"Okay, even if this matter is over, Carlo's words are probably caused by many things recently."

The Kaiser, who came out to play the round, comforted Carlo.

"Thanks, I'm much better."

Replying to William II is a tacit acquiescence to the other party's statement. "As I said just now, diplomatically, our three countries are very complementary to each other. Of course, in addition to diplomacy, in fact, in other aspects such as military, people's livelihood, and intelligence, they are also very complementary. ”

Speaking of which, Carlo gives an example. "As far as the navies of our three countries are concerned, in terms of artillery technology, Krupp and Skoda are both world-renowned artillery factories, and there is a gap between China in this regard. In terms of ship power research, China is still relatively good in this regard. Of course, there are countless cases in which each of these countries has a partial advantage. ”

Speaking of this, Carlotu was dagger at his fingertips. "And now with the development of the times, weapon research and development is becoming more and more expensive, so I think it is no longer possible to bury oneself in research and development alone. I believe that only by joining forces can we be strong, that we can all come up with our own technology, and that only by innovating can we make progress. ”

In the face of Carlo's words, Kaiser Wilhelm's eyes lit up, what he said was too right, for Germany, which was about to build warships on a large scale, such a combination of technologies was too much for his appetite.

"Carlo is right, we do need to unite."

However, although Wilhelm II praised the plan, there were still doubts. "However, there is also a problem with this kind of joint research, that is, what to do if there is a difference in research direction, how to allocate resources if the research focus is different, and how to share the investment among countries."

It was Archduke Ferdinand who said this, and it was clear that he also saw the problem in this regard. Because this involves the amount of money to pay, or the problem of their respective needs.

"I know what Archduke Ferdinand is thinking about. Before this, my country and Germany had a pilot, and it feels pretty good, so I'll share it as well. ”

Carlo then informed him of the joint research and development of technologies that Germany and Italy could agree on, and that the results would be shared and the costs would be equally shared.

"Well, then my problem is gone."

Although Ferdinand has no problems, Carlo still has problems. "I believe everyone can see the benefits of joint research. I have a point of view here, that is, it is better to talk about differences first, talk about more, and if you really can't talk about it, then decide to develop separately. ”

Carlo is alluding to this, yes, he is talking about you little Weiwei.

Originally, this joint research was very beneficial to everyone, and it was okay at first, but it took a little longer to get out of the moth. In the past year, there have been a lot of differences between the two sides, and these differences are due to the technical research of some German side that has a first-mover advantage, which makes the Italian side a little tired.

And Carlo's words made the Kaiser's face a little unnatural, and it was obvious that this person was definitely in the know.

"There may be some misunderstanding in this, and you also know that in terms of technical research, most of my country is doing it by enterprises."

In the face of William's feeble defense, Carlo shook his head. "It's simple, if there are several disagreements that continue to occur, then kick them out and replace them with another one, and if the joint research can't be united, then it's going their own way. This affects the relationship between the allies and is very detrimental to unity. ”

Well, Carlo's words are clear enough, if you take advantage of the one who comes in, kick it out. This kind of enterprise that doesn't think about the overall situation, let it get out, this kind of fool with no vision is better able to go bankrupt.

And Carlo's rare heavy words made William think more. "This issue does require attention, and I assure you that this situation will be avoided as much as possible, and will not be higher than the initial number."

Well, this guarantee is very sincere, it depends on who becomes the chicken in the hands of Wilhelm II.
