Jagged Germany

Chapter 83: watch out for italians

  Britain, France and Russia formed the Entente, although the only real military alliance was the Franco-Russian alliance formed between France and Russia. However, it is foreseeable that once the war breaks out, the British will definitely not sit idly by. Once France and Russia are defeated by the Allies, the British will not be able to survive alone. At that time, they can only compromise with the Allies, or they may be destroyed.

  So, once the war breaks out, it will evolve into a large-scale war between the Allied Powers and the Allied Powers, which seems to be irreversible. A large-scale war seems to be brewing. The end of peace seems to be getting closer.

  The establishment of the Allied Powers also formed two opposing military and political groups in the world, making the situation in Europe and the entire world even more turbulent.

  As the leader of the Allied Powers, Germany naturally bears the brunt of the impact on the establishment of the Allied Powers. Everyone knows that the war seems to be one step closer to them.

  William II held an emergency meeting in the imperial palace. The military and political officials of the empire, as well as Qin Tian, ​​who had become the crown prince of the empire, all attended this meeting.

  As soon as he walked into William II's office, Qin Tian felt a dignified atmosphere. All the ministers had worried expressions on their faces. Everyone has some concerns about the current international situation.

  After everyone is here, the imperial meeting officially begins. William II glanced at everyone, and then said: "Gentlemen, the British and the Russians have already hooked up. In addition to the previous agreement between the British and the French, as well as the fact that France and the Russians, which belonged to the military alliance Russia. This has led to the formation of a military alliance between Britain, France and Russia, a military alliance aimed at the empire. The current international situation has become more and more dangerous to the empire. What should the empire do to respond to the pressure of the enemy? "

   Even though William II was stubborn and conceited. But this time, he also felt tremendous pressure. He has always had a slight illusion about the British, that is, even if there is a war, the British will not be involved in the war. But now it seems that as the British are getting closer and closer to France and Russia, the illusion in his heart has gradually been thrown away. After all, the British were about to put bayonets on his chest. Wouldn't he be too stupid if he continued to have illusions?

"Your Majesty, the alliance of Britain, France and Russia is something we have long expected. Although, this makes the international environment of the empire even worse. However, the empire has been making preparations for this. As long as the empire continues to grow stronger If we continue, we may not lose." Little Moqi spoke first. Even though Qin Tian has been the Crown Prince for more than half a year, he still has no chance to touch Maoqi. At least, under the circumstances that he could still gain the trust of William II, the position of Chief of General Staff, Little Maoqi, was still as stable as Mount Tai.

  William II nodded, and then looked at the other ministers.

"Your Majesty, the alliance of Britain, France and Russia not only poses a major threat to the empire, but also poses a huge threat to the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Kingdom of Italy. I think that under the threat of the alliance of Britain, France and Russia, the alliance The country will be united more closely. And this, perhaps, is a good thing." Prime Minister Bernhard von Bülow said.

  Although the Triple Alliance has been established for more than 20 years, there are conflicts among the three member states. In particular, the contradiction between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Kingdom of Italy made this military alliance exist in name only, and there was not much centripetal force at all. If the three member states can unite, even if they are not as good as Britain, France and Russia, the gap is quite limited. If there is a fight, the outcome will be very difficult to say.

"Father, I think we should be careful of the Kingdom of Italy. As we all know, the conflict between the Kingdom of Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire is very sharp. Although, the empire has been working hard to reconcile. However, if Britain, France and Russia offer Italy more If the conditions are good, the Italians will definitely betray us. Therefore, we have to guard against this, so as not to be stabbed in the back by the Italians when the war breaks out." Qin Tian reminded. As a latecomer, he certainly knew how the Italians performed in World War I.

  In another time and space, after the outbreak of World War I, the Italians tried every means to delay, refused to fulfill the obligations of the alliance, and had a good time between the Allies and the Entente. Waiting for the Allies and Entente to make an offer. In the end, the Allies seemed to have more to offer Italy. Therefore, the Italians immediately betrayed the Allies without hesitation, fell to the Allies, and went to war against Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

   It's just that the performance of the Italians in the war was really bad. Hundreds of thousands of people attacked the Austro-Hungarian Empire, although they won the initial victory. However, after Germany sent a part of the army to assist the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they were quickly blocked at the border, unable to advance a single step, and were even beaten by Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire with less victory and more defeat.

  So, during the war, Italy was basically a pig teammate, who specially cheated his teammates.

   "His Royal Highness, we have signed a covenant with the Italians. The covenant is sacred. The Italians should not easily tear up the covenant, right?" Foreign Minister von Kidren Wascht asked.

"The covenant is indeed sacred. However, there have never been true friends between countries, and some only have eternal interests. We and the Italians formed an alliance because of common interests. Once the Allies give The benefits are greater than what we offered, and the Italians will definitely betray us. I have no doubts about this!" Qin Tian said with a look of affirmation.

   "His Royal Highness is right. There are no permanent friends between countries, only permanent interests!" Earl Tirpitz and Marshal Tirpitz agreed.

   Even William II nodded repeatedly.

"What's more, everyone, I have also heard a saying that the biggest function of a covenant is to tear it up. It is almost impossible to rely on a covenant to bind the allies. Interests can only rely on eternal interests. Only then can the allies be united. There are common interests between the Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, so the Austro-Hungarian Empire has always followed the lead of the Empire. But the Kingdom of Italy? Unfortunately, I really can’t see this. On the contrary However, in the North African colonies, the Italians have a tacit understanding with Britain, France and Russia. But in the Adriatic Sea, the conflict with the Austro-Hungarian Empire is very obvious." Qin Tian continued.
