"My Italian New ( Find the latest chapter!
As countries prepare for peace talks, the first goal that needs to be achieved is the choice of the venue for the negotiations.
According to Italy's wishes, Rome is naturally the best choice. However, other countries in this location are reluctant, especially Greece and Serbia, which are the most strongly opposed. After all, this is Italy's home court, and they don't want Italy, which has performed enough in this war, to still have a home court advantage.
Since the two countries were desperately opposed, Rome was defeated. At this time, there are enthusiastic countries willing to provide venues for peace talks.
Britain offered London, France offered Paris, Germany offered Berlin, Austria-Hungary offered Vienna, and even Russia chose St. Petersburg and Moscow as options.
To make countries so enthusiastic, in addition to placing the negotiating place on their side, not only can they increase their prestige in the world, but also the self-confidence that can gather the people.
Otherwise, why so many countries in the future are willing to provide a place for peace talks is also a consideration in this regard.
However, it is not easy to choose the one that pleases everyone among the many locations here. After days of wrangling and disputes, London has become the accepted location of all countries.
Now that the location has been decided, everyone has nothing to say. Naturally, they each brought their negotiating team and prepared to go to London to compete for the interests of their respective countries.
The negotiators that Italy is going to send this time are mainly a team of Prime Minister De Pretis, supplemented by Foreign Minister Barcona.
Before leaving, Carlo, the king, came to the port to see them off in person in order to show the importance he paid to them.
"You two, this peace talks are up to you."
Carlo took the hands of the two of them and said earnestly what he expected from them. Of course, it is very reasonable for Italy to take the lead in this war. This war is dominated by Italy. Although Bulgaria and Montenegro performed well, their strength can only get the results promised to them. Besides, it is impossible to get additional rewards.
It's not that Italy wants to go back, but this time the off-site factors have had too much influence. Britain, France, Austria, Russia and other countries have exerted enormous pressure. Italy must give priority to ensuring its own results.
Although the four countries of Bao, Greece, Serbia, and Heilongjiang still fought the Balkan Wars in their previous lives, after all, the times were different, and there was a difference of more than 20 years of development, so that the strength of the four countries was far inferior to that before the First World War.
Not to mention, there is an additional Italy this time, which naturally can only shrink their victory.
In the face of the king personally seeing him off, the two heads of the delegation and the deputy head of the delegation also made a statement immediately. "Rest assured, Your Majesty, we will protect Italy's interests. No one can make Italy back down."
Over the years, with the influence of Carlo, Italian senior officials are very confident. The reason for them to have confidence is the strength of Italy. Years of development, although the debt on Italy's back has not been reduced, but its strength has been greatly improved compared with the original time and space.
Occupying the two colonies of East Africa and Lanfang, the domestic industry is booming, the economic situation is getting better year by year, and the army has performed well in previous wars. So no matter how you look at it, Italy is a thriving gesture.
This made many overseas newspapers exclaimed that Italy is on the fast track of correct development.
That being the case, then Italy needs to have a result that matches its strength.
In yesterday's negotiation, Carlo drew the bottom line of the peace talks, that is, Albania and Libya must be owned by Italy. In addition, it is necessary to make Crete independent, and if there is a chance, then fight for some Ottoman islands as a result.
As for other Ottoman territories in the Balkans, let other countries grab it. Anyway, Carlo never thought of going deep into the Balkans.
Although other Italian officials are very envious, they can eat as much as they can. Carlo doesn't want to be regarded as a competitor by Austria-Hungary and Russia, let them go and bite the dog. Italy should choose some easy-to-profit places.
So now Carlo's mentality is not nervous, because Italy really did not want to intervene in the Balkans.
However, of course, his idea will not be publicized, and he also intends to use this opportunity to exchange interests with other countries.
Just as Carlo was talking with the delegation to see him off, an attendant hurried over with a telegram, and the captain of the guard immediately greeted the attendant when he saw the attendant.
"This is an urgent telegram from Berlin, which must be handed over to Your Majesty immediately."
As the attendant spoke, Ferimić glanced at the telegram and immediately changed his face. He ignored other people's expressions, and hurriedly walked to Carlo and whispered a few words.
Listening to the whispers of the captain of the guard, even Carlo, who was well-cultivated, couldn't help frowning.
"Is the news reliable?"
"Very reliable, it was sent by the ambassador to Germany himself."
The words of the two have no brains, and the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary are a little confused.
Facing the two people with puzzled faces, Carlo decided to tell them the news. Anyway, they will know it soon.
Immediately he spoke. "This is a message from Berlin that Prime Minister Bismarck has resigned."
"what?"
Facing Carlo's words, the two of them asked in unison.
No way, this news is amazing. You must know that this is Bismarck. He has been in charge of Germany for decades, and his excellent diplomacy and tactics have brought Germany from division to unity, and made Germany gradually stronger.
How could such a prime minister with great achievements suddenly resign without any news?
Although others can't figure it out, Carlo, who has memories of later generations, can't understand. This is not because the conflict with the new Kaiser is irreconcilable, otherwise, how could the energetic Jagged Prime Minister resign.
Of course, it is impossible to say this from his mouth. After all, until World War I, that Wilhelm II has always held German power. He will say it out loud when he is crazy, UU reading www. uukanshu.com Italy also needs Germany, a strong ally, to shelter itself from the wind and rain.
"Your Majesty, the resignation of Prime Minister Bismarck is related to our most important ally at present. Should we keep one and inquire about the situation in Germany?"
As Foreign Minister Bakona, he is still very diplomatically sensitive and immediately asked his Carlos for his opinion.
"No, I will handle this matter. The most important thing for us at the moment is the peace talks in London, which needs you more."
Carlo rejected the suggestion of the foreign minister, because he believed that this matter could not affect the relationship between Germany and Italy, so it was still important to negotiate in London.
So in the next step, although countries are making a lot of noise about Bismarck's resignation, Italy is still paying attention to the next negotiations in London.
The same goes for the other warring states, all of whom are staring at the peace talks in London.
