My Italian: Chapter 591 Negotiation below

"Count Zolny, our country is also very sad about what happened to your crown prince, so we also agree with your country's feelings. Therefore, within the scope of our ability, our country is still very willing to support your country."

Sure enough, Count Zolny's intuition was right. At the beginning, Prime Minister Cruz's words were ostensibly sympathetic to what happened to Archduke Ferdinand, but the real core is the word within one's ability. The scope of this is so large that it can fight a big war with Austria-Hungary, but it is so small that it cannot assist in any trade disputes.

Of course, for Count Zolny, the Italian Prime Minister's opening was nothing more than a skillful use of rhetoric.

"Thank you very much for your sympathy for the murder of the crown prince of our country. Our country is also extremely saddened by this. Therefore, the crown prince of our country cannot die in vain. This is the testimony of the murderer of the crown prince. Behind it are instructions from the Serbian military and intelligence agencies. Its convenience. Therefore, our country believes that the Kingdom of Serbia must be punished and eliminate its military and intelligence agencies that create terrorist acts."

Although Earl Zolny's words were euphemistic, anyone present who is not a seasoned old fox can certainly understand the meaning of his words. Among other things, just to eliminate Serbia's hostility, military means must be used to overthrow its regime. Whether this country can still exist by then is a question.

Of course, Earl Zolny's words cannot be refuted directly, after all, they are just. A terrorist organization, no country wants to see it doing trouble in its own country.

So Prime Minister Cruz stepped forward and said. "Count Zolni, we fully agree with your country's approach. Only by eradicating the terrorist ideas in the Kingdom of Serbia can it be pulled back to a normal track. Our country fully agrees with your country's ideas."

Although Prime Minister Cruz expressed Italy's approval, you will find it if you listen carefully. Although Prime Minister Cruz said he agreed, he didn't say how to agree with the law. It is verbal approval but practical help. The difference is quite different.

As Earl Zolny, who spent half his life in the diplomatic field, how could he fail to understand the meaning of the words, but he seemed to be a normal person.

"Thank you very much for your country's support for our country. We are allies on the same front as your country in dispelling Serbia's terrorist ideology. Therefore, our country has an unfeeling request, that is, we hope your country can assist our country , together to dispel the terrorist thought in Serbia.

In addition, I have another piece of news that I would like to inform you. In view of the complicated public conditions in the Tyrol region, our country is willing to hold a referendum resolution in the region. The people in the region will vote in a referendum and let them decide the country where they are located. belong. Of course, considering the complex public conditions in this area and the heavy workload, our country decided to divide it into three parts for a referendum. At present, the first batch of referendums in the Trento region, which is further south, is being discussed, and the time is set to be one month later. "

Well, as a big country, Count Zolny is also very experienced, and the division of the territory is so fresh and refined. Of course, this also has a lot to do with the complexity of the Austro-Hungarian nation. After all, directly talking about the division of territories hurts Vienna's self-esteem.

What's more important is that Austria-Hungary is not ashamed. Italy has only been independent for a long time. Before that, it was the younger brother of Austria-Hungary. Over the years, it has surpassed itself, and it is also uncomfortable.

If it weren't for the consideration of the need to face the threat of Russia, Austria-Hungary would definitely not be willing to give this important land to Italy. And the statement is also very trendy, referendum?

Who doesn't know that this area is a gathering place of Italians, and most of them live in Italians. As long as the referendum is not fraudulent, it must be owned by Italy.

So for Count Zolny, everyone felt as refreshed as eating ice cream in the dog days. This kind of scene where Austrians bow their heads and beg for help, especially for Italy, is really rare in a hundred years.

Although it was difficult to see the scene, everyone was very clear-headed and did not get carried away by the news.

"Count Zolny, since we want to vote for the people of the Tyrol region, why not vote for the entire region together? Dividing it into three parts is too troublesome. Well, let our country fund the increase of manpower in the region for the referendum vote .”

Prime Minister Cruz has fully demonstrated the standards of a qualified prime minister. He also used the topic of referendum to demonstrate the negotiations between the two countries on the Tyrol region.

Of course, everyone knows that this is talking about a referendum on the surface, but in essence it is the benefit of Italy standing firmly behind it.

So no one dared to underestimate every word the other party said, it was a manifestation of the conditions after the negotiation.

"We appreciate your country's kindness, but it is related to the topic of the referendum in this region, so you don't need your country to provide funds and manpower. As for the referendum in the entire region, it is impossible. Our country has its own national conditions. Divide the region into three times The referendum is also a manifestation of our country's emphasis on public opinion in the region."

"No, the referendum in this region can only be conducted once, because multiple times will lead to possible turmoil in the region, which is very detrimental to the stability of the border between our two countries."

At this time, the two are no longer well-dressed big men, but like two customers and hawkers who buy vegetables, arguing over every cent. The two had been arguing from morning to afternoon, and it was not over until evening.

Don't get me wrong, this is not a deal, but that the two of you are out of energy and need to rest. In addition, it is also necessary to give Count Zolny some personal space to report the situation to Vienna.

Such negotiations lasted for three days, and during these three days, the conditions of the two gradually coincided. This shows that the negotiation has come to an end and will be concluded soon.

Finally, after a lot of wrangling, the two finally finished their talk and reached a consensus.

For a diplomatic negotiation involving many aspects such as war territory, three days can be negotiated quickly, and it is not enough to test the attitudes of the two parties.

But who knows that now is an extraordinary period, and everything needs to be kept simple, so the negotiation between the two of them has no diplomatic means. Otherwise, it will not be considered a negotiation within three to five months.

In the end, the result of the three-day emergency negotiation was that Austria-Hungary would give Italy the southern Tyrol area one month later, and no matter what the situation was after the other six months, Austria-Hungary would give Italy the remaining northern Tyrol area.

Of course, Italy also needs to pay a price for obtaining the Tyrol region~www.mtlnovel.com~ will cooperate with Austria-Hungary in punishing Serbia. In addition, if Russia declares war on Austria-Hungary, Italy must also maintain the same attitude as Austria-Hungary.

In addition, Italy must also maintain a supportive attitude towards Austria-Hungary's disposal of the Kingdom of Serbia in the future.

So far, Austria-Hungary has received the full support of Italy, which reassures Austria-Hungary of the safety of its south, and at the same time found a reliable helper.

In addition to the good news from Italy, there was also news from Berlin. Germany once again reiterated its commitment to Austria-Hungary. The Kaiser did not forget his previous remarks because of the death of Archduke Ferdinand.

These two good news made Austria-Hungary full of confidence now, and now they will let the Serbs know the terrible consequences of such a stupid assassination.
