Jagged Germany

"Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, can you stop looking at me like that. It was the idea of ​​the British to persuade Italy to join the Allied Powers. Besides, you agreed to it at the beginning, and we didn't force it. So, in this matter, , no wonder we," French Foreign Minister Théophile Delcase said.

At the beginning of the meeting between Theophile Delcase and Paul Bocelli, Paul Sedley looked at Theophile Delcase with complicated eyes, full of anger and helplessness, but more I still regret it.

  Théophile Delcase understood what it meant with such a look in his eyes. At the beginning, the Kingdom of Italy was a member of the Allied Powers. As a result, he went to Italy with the British Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Gray to persuade Italy to betray the Allies and join the Allies. In order to achieve their goals, they made a lot of promises. As a result, it really induced Italy to betray the Allies and join the Allies in fighting. This is undoubtedly a major diplomatic victory for the Allies.

   Unfortunately, even if Italy joined the Allied Powers, they failed to win, and instead lost the war. Now, it is facing the slaughter of the Germans.

  It is understandable that the Italians blame France and Britain for this. After all, if it weren't for the lobbying of France and the United Kingdom, Italy would not have committed a betrayal, and it would not have the current tragic experience.

  Of course, Théophile Delcase didn't feel guilty at all about this, but was rather pleased. If one person is unlucky, how can someone else accompany him to be unlucky? In France now, the Italians are unlucky together, and the French can feel better.

"Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, if it weren't for us, the Kingdom of Italy wouldn't be where it is today. Maybe, our Italians will be added to the negotiations with France!" Paul Bocelli said through gritted teeth .

"No, Your Excellency the Foreign Minister. We can't blame us. It's because your own will is not firm. Besides, didn't we want to win the war at the beginning? It's just that no one thought that the Germans would be so tough. Otherwise, we might have won the battle. Now the French are kneeling and begging for mercy!" said Théophile Del Casse.

   "But now we are kneeling down to the Germans and begging for mercy!" Paul Boselli said.

   "Yes, now we are on our knees begging for mercy. However, the matter has come to this point, and there is no way to do it. We have no power to change this result." Théophile Del Casse said.

  Paul Boselli immediately looked depressed. Indeed, as Théophile del Case said, this is the end of the matter, and the rest is useless.

  Theophile Delcase looked at Paul Bocelli's expression, and his heart was full of disdain. The reason why the Allied Powers were defeated was also inseparable from the Italians. The performance of the Italians on the battlefield is too bad, right? Millions of Italian troops did not even cross the Alps. Instead, they suffered heavy losses under the attack of the German and Austrian allied forces. It can be said that they did not play much role in the war at all. Even if the Italians did not betray the Allies, the situation of the Allies would not be much worse than it is now.

   "Okay, let's not talk about that. Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, what do you mean today?" Paul Boselli asked.

"Your Excellency, the experience of our two countries is the same now. We are about to face the slaughter of the Germans. I hope that we can advance and retreat together. When negotiating with the Germans, we must be tougher. In this case, it will be good for both of us. It's good. After all, the Germans' appetite may be very large this time, and even if they can pay a little less, it will be very impressive." Théophile Delcasse said.

  Paul Boselli nodded, and the Kingdom of Italy also did not want to pay too much in this war. Naturally, the smaller the price paid, the better.

"Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, I completely agree with this point. But will the Germans give us a chance? Don't forget, the Germans now have an absolute advantage. If the Germans' attitude is also very tough, then we may There is nothing we can do. At that time, the Germans may be angered.” Paul Boselli was a little worried that it would not be able to end at that time.

"Yes, it is indeed possible. If the Germans are really so tough, then we have no way to fight. However, we still have to try. After all, if it succeeds, it will be very beneficial to us." Said Theophile Delcase.

   "Well, you can try it. I hope the attitude of the Germans will not be so tough." Paul Boselli said.

   It's just that they will soon know that there is no way to realize their wishes. Germany's attitude is tougher than they imagined. Moreover, the peace talks this time were not carried out at the same time. Instead, conduct peace talks with France first, and then conduct peace talks with Italy after the peace talks with France are over.

  Of course, both France and Italy are very dissatisfied with such an arrangement. But, is there anything else they can do about it? German Foreign Minister von Kidren Wachter made it very clear that if they think there is something wrong with Germany's arrangements, they can go back. Germany will not stop it.

  But the point is, going back means that this time the negotiation has broken down. Then, the German army's offensive may start again. Neither France nor Italy can resist Germany's powerful soldiers! Therefore, ending the war and keeping their own country through peaceful negotiations has become their only choice.

  So, even if the attitude of the Germans is very tough, the delegations of France and Italy can only accept it with gritted teeth. Anyway, they were at a disadvantage, and there was nothing the Germans could do to slaughter them.

   On the morning of May 24, 1915, the peace talks between Germany and France were held. The place of negotiation is at the German Foreign Office. German Foreign Minister von Kidren Wachter was solely responsible for the negotiations.

   "Minister, hello." Von Kidren Wachter had a warm smile on his face, as if he didn't consider himself a winner.

  However, Théophile Delcase could see a trace of pride in the other party's eyes. In this regard, Théophile Delcasse had no choice. Who made them lose? Can only pretend not to see anything.
