"Your Majesty, Prince Ruprecht's response is like this. He believes that compromise with Italy at present is an extremely wrong decision, both in terms of military significance and future political significance." Prime Minister Holvig, who returned to Brussels, said to the German Emperor.

"Well, it seems that your opinion is similar to that of this prince, so, Fredrich, tell me, what about your choice?"

"Since we all dare to go to war with the stronger Britain, France and Russia, and have an advantage, then under the current circumstances, it is natural that Italy should not show weakness. After all, Italy is not the United States. The former can bring great help, while the latter may drag us down. We cannot start this." Prince Frederick said.

"Your Majesty, at least at present, the Balkan war situation is gradually unfolding, we should not make our allies suspicious because of some of Italy's diplomatic work." Xiao Moltke also said from the side.

"Well, I feel that our Bavarian heirs' greatest ability is not military or economic, but in the ability to convince others." William II said with some amusement. "Well, since that's the case, then leave it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and ask them to reply to the Italians, with a stern wording. Then send a note to the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Turks, saying that the Empire will not sell out the interests of its allies."

Two days later, the Italian Prime Minister's Office.

"As loyal allies of the German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Turkish Empire are an inseparable part of the allied system. Our interests are common. Therefore, the empire will never allow any acts that harm the interests of allies, nor will it encourage the robbery of some countries and individuals. We have severely damaged the Russians, and our bombers can even attack the Russian capital. In this case, we will naturally not be afraid of blackmail and threats from other countries."

"So, the German Empire's meaning is very clear. We reject the so-called diplomatic solution provided by your country. In addition, I end with the words of Crown Prince Ruprecht. The benefits that cannot be obtained on the battlefield are absolutely impossible to obtain at the negotiating table." After saying that, the German master in Italy looked at the Italian Prime Minister opposite him provocatively.

"This is a regretful thing." Prime Minister Giovanni was so angry that his hands were trembling. "The Germans have always been accustomed to putting a pistol on their hands during negotiations. He always hopes to use military to resolve all disputes. Germany has blindly believed in its own strength and ignored the demands of other countries. I hope that one day, you don't regret what you are doing today!"

"The power of the empire can definitely safeguard the majesty and interests of the empire, and there is no need for your country to worry about this." The German ambassador sneered: "In addition, I would like to remind the Prime Minister not to think that the Allies will follow the agreement with Italy. In this world, the basis of agreements and agreements is power. The Italians do not have enough power to footnote the signed treaty."

"Don't forget how the Russians describe your country. It was entirely because of diplomatic etiquette. Even the weakest Russia is like this, let alone the cunning British and French. The French were once the masters of Italy, and Britain was even a businessman and pirate!" After saying that, the German ambassador left here with a contemptuous smile.

"Prime Minister, the Germans are too arrogant. They simply ignore the normal demands of a strong country!" an official said angrily.

"The Germans are very arrogant." Giovanni sighed. "But they do have the capital to be arrogant!"

It has to be said that the Italians in this era are still very self-aware. They know where their power limit is and what it means to judge the situation. They will not bind themselves with Germany and Austria because of a treaty, and will also stand on the side of the Allies because of Britain and France's promises... After all, Giovanni and others know that with the most power of Italy, they will not send carbon in the snow, because the blizzard may also bury the people who send carbon!

Therefore, even though the German envoy pointed at the Italian Prime Minister's nose and scolded the other party for his delusion, even if the other party had shown full contempt, fortunately, Giovanni was not an act of intent. He knew to use his head to analyze the problem and then solve the problem!

If countries like Britain, Germany and the United States are attacking everywhere in this world to seize world resources, then France and Russia may not be able to do this, but at least they will never retreat when facing provocations. Their strength is enough for first-class countries to weigh before taking action, which means that they are the kind of people who don’t cause trouble, but generally no one dares to find trouble.

As for Japan, from the current development trend, it has transitioned to a second-rate country. After all, in this plane, the Japanese occupied the Philippines and took advantage of the favorable opportunity of World War I to expand not only included Germany's colonies in the Pacific, but also obtained most of the Dutch East Indies from the Dutch! Japan itself has a population, now has territory and resources, and there is no powerful country that can threaten Japan's existence in the Far East, so Japan now has a relatively good rise. Of course, there is a prerequisite, that is, after the war is over, it can withstand the liquidation between the United States and Germany!

The third level is Italy. Its strategic environment cannot be said to be. The land area and resources can only be described as poor, and it lacks foundation... Although there is the idea of ​​rising under the nationalist trend, for those calm and rational people, it is the king to recognize their status and make money silently. Even if they want to participate in the war, they must stand on the side of the winner!

And the Germans are right. Germany cannot damage the interests of Austro-Hungary and Turkey for Italy. As for the Allies, they will not say what benefits they have given Italy. All the promises were divided from the Austro-Hungarian Empire to Italy after the victory of the Allies War. This thing is now invisible and intangible. And even if the Allies win, Britain and France will really do what they promised to the Italians? Prime Minister Giovanni expressed doubts about this, because Italy does not have the strength to let Britain and France fully fulfill their promises!

"I want to see the king and make arrangements for me." Giovanni ordered. Now, the Germans did not convince the Austro-Hungarian Empire as Italy expected, but instead gave an unprecedentedly tough diplomatic reply. What does this mean? This shows that the Germans are quite confident in their combat effectiveness. Even if Italy is dissatisfied, they must choose to stand on the side of the winner!
