My Italian: Chapter 551 The Second Moroccan Crisis Part 1
The French were surprised when the Leopard suddenly appeared in the Moroccan port of Agadir. What surprised them even more was that this gunboat, which was only over 1,000 tons, aimed its guns at the French army on the shore.
Such a bold move by the Leopard stunned the French army on the shore.
And Leopard's behavior may also be related to its years of dealing with small countries. It is a domineering habit, and it is a bit unclear about the situation.
However, the daring Leopard acted like this. On the contrary, the French army in Agadir was sober-minded and did not overreact. Instead, they informed their superiors of the Leopard's actions, and Paris quickly received the news.
For the German warships that appeared in Morocco, the French side was furious. Because Germany dared to directly challenge France's colonial interests with only a small gunboat, it was a great shame for France. Then the German side sent a telegram saying that the French were required to respect Germany's interests in Morocco.
Regarding the telegram sent by Germany and the gunboat that appeared in Morocco, the French believe that this is a diplomatic blackmail by Germany. The proud France cannot accept this. Otherwise, every time Germany blackmails, France will take a step back, which will be a serious blow. The national passion of the French.
So this time France's attitude was extremely tough, and it directly rejected the German's request, but instead accelerated its actions in Morocco.
Dissatisfaction also erupted on the German side for the French's attitude of ignoring themselves at all. Kaiser Wilhelm II believed that the French were humiliating Germany by ignoring Germany's advice.
For this reason, the German side took the situation a step further and mobilized the main force of the army to the French border.
Regarding the hostile actions of the German side, the French were also unwilling to lag behind, and also transferred the main force of the army to the border adjacent to Germany. In addition, France went a step further by announcing a military mobilization.
The actions of the French further stimulated Germany. Faced with France's military mobilization order, Germany was also unwilling to lag behind, and also announced military mobilization. In addition, it is not only military mobilization, but the German General Staff has come up with a combat plan and is ready to issue it.
At this time, Germany and France did not give an inch and seemed to fight, which shocked other European countries. Other countries expressed their opinions one after another, hoping that the two countries could calm down the dispute and avoid a war in Europe.
However, this peaceful speech lacked a country, and that was the British Empire. It is unbelievable that the British Empire, as the hegemon of the world, did not speak at such a dangerous moment.
In fact, this is not surprising, because France was able to hold back an inch this time, with the support of the British Empire behind it.
The chief of the British army's general staff visited France and visited the French-German border in person. In addition, the British fleet also received a message from the Admiralty asking them to prepare for battle.
It is also with the support of the British that the French have the confidence to stand against Germany.
For the alliance between Britain and France, Germany feels a lot of pressure. At this time, it urgently needs the support of its allies
An airship with the emblem of the Savoy family slowly descended to the ground apron, and many people were already waiting here below the apron.
Among these waiting people, Foreign Minister Wechtel is the core of these people. The Wechtel was a half-way diplomat, born in a banker family in Stuttgart, and participated in the Franco-Prussian War, and later studied law. It was not until 1879 that this man entered the diplomatic sphere.
However, although he entered the diplomatic field late, he has a good resume. In 1898, he served as the minister in Bucharest, and later went to Istanbul to support the construction of the Baghdad railway.
In addition, Lord Wechtel opposed maintaining a naval balance with the United Kingdom, and advocated firmly establishing Germany's leading position in Europe through the Triple Alliance. He was appreciated by the new prime minister Holweg in 1910 and was appointed foreign minister.
And his task this time is to meet the Italian delegation led by Carlo. This time, the Italian delegation is traveling in a special vehicle, which is an airship.
Carlo's sudden visit to Berlin this time was nominally to mediate the dispute between Germany and France in Morocco, but in essence he had another purpose.
But whatever the purpose, peaceful rhetoric is needed at least now.
"Your Majesty, you can disembark."
The chief guard's words made Carlo stop thinking, and he smiled towards the hatch. When he walked out of the hatch, the welcome music and cheers sounded immediately, and Weichter, who was in charge of welcoming him, walked towards him quickly.
"Welcome His Majesty King Carlo to Berlin."
"You're welcome, Your Excellency Weichtel, I'm here for peace."
Afterwards, the two exchanged simple greetings, took pictures together, and then accepted interviews with reporters.
"Your Majesty Carlo, did you come to Berlin this time to mediate the current tension between Germany and France?"
The reporter's question seemed nothing new to other reporters, and it was a waste of this opportunity. However, Carlo didn't care about other reporters' thoughts. Instead, he liked such friendly questions very much.
"Yes, this time I came to Berlin with great sincerity, for the peace of Europe, so I appeared in Berlin, because I know that Germans are the most reasonable."
These words made the eyes of the reporters on the scene brighten, and they all raised their hands to get a chance to ask questions.
But it is a pity that after the King Carlo only answered one question, he got in the car and left at the invitation of Foreign Minister Wechtel. Also leaving with him was the Italian delegation.
"Your Majesty King Carlo, what you said will cause a lot of controversy." Wechtel, who was in the same car with Carlo, talked and laughed as if to mediate the atmosphere.
"What does it matter? What I'm saying is the truth. For us in Italy, your country's reputation is trustworthy."
Carlo's words sounded like praising Germany, but it was actually true. However, one thing is recognized by Italy, at least Germany is more trustworthy than France.
"Thank you His Majesty Carlo for trusting us in Germany. Let the members of your group take a break today. How about we arrange a meeting tomorrow?"
"Yes, but I want to see William as soon as possible. I think you should know the purpose of my visit this time."
"Okay, I will inform His Majesty the Emperor when I go back."
Of course, Weichter knew what Carlo said.
This person did not come with peace sincerity, but wanted to break up peace.
In the current situation where the tension in Europe is on the verge of breaking out, Carlo is not sure whether the war will be brought forward under his own stirring.
If it is ahead of schedule, what should Italy do and how to maximize its benefits? This is a question he has been thinking about for more than ten days.
After thinking about it, Carlo found that job-hopping was not a good choice.
Of course, if you want Italy to join, then Carlo must determine a few requirements before negotiating other conditions. Otherwise, my hard work in Italy these years would have been in vain. This is also the reason why he came in person. He is not sure about some attitudes of Germany, how dare Italy bet at will, or the high-risk Germany side.
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
Shen Changqing was walking on the road, and whenever he met someone he knew well, he would say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who.
There is no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they are indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing is already used to it.
Because this is the Zhenmagic Division, an organization that maintains the stability of Daqin. Its main duty is to kill monsters and ghosts, and of course there are other side jobs.
It can be said.
In Zhenmensi, everyone's hands were stained with a lot of blood.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it as time went by.
Zhenmus is huge.
Those who can stay in Zhenmusi are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Zhenmagic Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy, and the other is the Exorcist.
Anyone who enters the Town of Demons starts from the lowest level of Demon Slayers,
Then he was promoted step by step, and eventually he was expected to become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the town of magic division, and he was also the lowest-ranked demon slayer.
With the memory of his predecessor~www.mtlnovel.com~ he is also very familiar with the environment of Zhenmensi.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.
Different from other places full of chills in Zhenmagus, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd. In the **** Zhenmagus, it presents a different tranquility.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing just hesitated for a moment, then stepped in.
Enter the attic.
The environment has changed in vain.
A scent of ink mixed with a faint smell of blood hit his face, making his brows furrowed instinctively, but then relaxed quickly.
There is almost no way to clean off the **** smell on everyone in Zhenmusi.
