Jagged Germany

Chapter 670: Mediation (fourth update)

"Ahem!" Wahit coughed, and after attracting everyone's attention, he said, "Everyone, it would be best if there is no war. This war will end soon. , there is no need for a new war. This is not a good thing for any country. The German Empire hopes that it is better for the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Kingdom of Italy to resolve their differences through peaceful negotiations."

Paul Boselli nodded again and again: "The Kingdom of Italy doesn't want war either, we are just passively counterattacking. The conditions put forward by the Austro-Hungarian Empire are too harsh and we cannot agree. If they want to impose war on their heads If not, then we will have to fight to the death.”

  Paul Boselli looked aggrieved, as if everything was imposed on them by other countries.

   "As the victorious country of this war, Austria-Hungary, we should get the benefits we deserve!" Crown Prince Karl still looked angry.

"The Kingdom of Italy can pay war reparations and other compensation to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. However, it is absolutely impossible to follow the requirements of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Such conditions are too harsh and cannot be accepted by the Kingdom of Italy." Paul ? Bocelli said.

   "Your Excellency Bocelli, what kind of conditions can the Kingdom of Italy accept?" Vacht asked.

   "We mainly think that the 50 billion kroner war indemnity requested by the Austro-Hungarian Empire is too large. If the war indemnity drops to one billion marks, we can accept it." Paul Boselli said.

   "What? One billion marks, this is absolutely not possible!" Crown Prince Karl almost jumped up. One billion marks may be a huge sum of money for ordinary people. However, a billion marks is not so much for a country. Especially compared to the huge war indemnity Germany received in this war, the war indemnity paid by the Kingdom of Italy to the Austro-Hungarian Empire of one billion marks seems to be sending beggars. It is absolutely impossible for Crown Prince Karl to agree to such a condition.

   "One billion marks, is the Kingdom of Italy humiliating the Austro-Hungarian Empire?" Baron Berchdold also looked angry. Italy's war reparations to the German Empire was as high as 20 billion marks. In contrast, the war reparations to the Austro-Hungarian Empire are too little.

   "One billion marks is indeed too little." Wahit also said.

  Paul Boselli hesitated for a moment, and then said with a very distressed look: "Then two billion marks! If there is too much, the Kingdom of Italy will not be able to get it out."

"Two billion marks? Fortunately, you can say it. The Austro-Hungarian Empire would rather not have such a small amount of war reparations, so let's see you on the battlefield! Once the Austro-Hungarian Army defeats you, I promise, you will pay for it A bigger price!" Crown Prince Karl gritted his teeth and said.

   "Five billion marks! The Kingdom of Italy paid five billion marks in war reparations to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The German Empire believes that this amount of reparations is more appropriate." Wahit spoke.

   "Okay, Your Excellency. For the sake of the German Empire, the Kingdom of Italy is willing to pay the Austro-Hungarian Empire five billion marks in war reparations." Paul Boselli said.

   "Five billion? Impossible, this is too far from the requirements of the Austro-Hungarian Empire." Crown Prince Karl was still reluctant.

  However, he still wanted to go on a rampage, but was held back by the foreign minister, Baron Berchdold.

   "Your Excellency, the war indemnity of five billion marks is indeed too far from our request. However, we will report to the country. If the country agrees, then we have no objection." Baron Berchdold said.

  Crown Prince Karl looked at Baron Berchdold angrily, not knowing why he said that.

  However, Crown Prince Karl is not a fool. If he is a fool, it is impossible to become the crown prince. Therefore, he wisely shut his mouth and did not continue to make trouble.

  Vachite nodded: "I believe His Majesty the Austrian Emperor will agree."

   "The Austro-Hungarian Empire requires the Kingdom of Italy to cede Venice and the territory east of it to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Does Italy have any objections to this?" Vachter then asked.

   "Venice is one of the important cities of the Kingdom of Italy. However, in order to achieve peace, we are willing to cede Venice to the Austro-Hungarian Empire." Paul Boselli shook his head.

   As far as the Austro-Hungarian Empire is concerned, naturally there will be no problems. They have long coveted the territory east of Venice. They were very satisfied with being able to cut off that piece of territory from the Italians.

"As for the Austro-Hungarian Empire wanting all the overseas colonies of the Kingdom of Italy, it may be very difficult. Libya has been ceded to the Empire. Then the Austro-Hungarian Empire will occupy Italian East Africa? Your Royal Highness, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, what do you think? How's it going?" Wahit asked.

   "Cut off, the Austro-Hungarian Empire also wants Libya. How about this, let's exchange it. The Austro-Hungarian Empire will get Libya, and the German Empire will occupy Italian East Africa!" Crown Prince Karl said.

  Crown Prince Karl said so, obviously because he has taken a fancy to Libyan oil. If it weren't for the discovery of a large amount of oil in Libya, Crown Prince Karl would not have wanted that barren land. But with oil, everything is different. Now the importance of oil is constantly rising, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire is also a country that is extremely short of oil. If they can get Libya, they will be even more powerful.

"I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness. The treaty has already been signed. Libya already belongs to the German Empire. What's more, the empire has made a lot of investment in Libya earlier, and now is the time to get output. Libya was handed over to others." Wahit's attitude was very firm.

   "Your Excellency, we are allies with the German Empire. The German Empire is so powerful that we should take care of our allies." Crown Prince Karl wanted to try harder.

  However, Wahit still sternly refused. Moreover, the attitude has become more and more tough.

   Baron Berchdold quickly stated that it is also possible for the Austro-Hungarian Empire to obtain Italian East Africa. However, all of this needs to be decided domestically, and they do not have the power to make decisions.

"Well, the other conditions are the same as the treaty signed between the German Empire and the Kingdom of Italy. The key issue is the amount of war reparations. The German Empire does not want the war to continue, so please consider the Austro-Hungarian Empire when making a decision. Take a suggestion from the German Empire!" Wahit said.
