The Rise of the Empire

The prince is also very clear about this point. Even if the prince goes too far, will Italy dare to cancel the Triple Alliance Treaty at this time? The relationship between France and Italy has not improved yet. Can Italy turn against old friends without new friends? What are you thinking? Don't want to live anymore? \u003c/p\u003e "What I'm talking about, what I'm doing, I know very well. If you think I'm just venting personally, then you can ignore it. I just want to say one thing, that is, Germany is very important to your country. This kind of behavior is very dissatisfied and even incomprehensible. It is completely useless for your country to do so. Britain and France will not benefit from your country’s verbal support, but will cause Germany’s resentment or even hostility."\u003c/p\u003e" Say, do you think we can tolerate rebellion in your country? France and Germany are enemies, and you openly help our enemies but want to stay out of it. Isn't this idea a bit naive?"\u003c/p\u003e "Okay, I see, Perhaps your country wants to use the Triple Alliance as a bargaining chip to obtain a room for maneuver among the major powers, because now most of the relationships between major European countries have been fixed, and Italy is one of the few with a larger choice A country with power. Use this right to choose in exchange for more benefits, am I right?" the prince asked. \u003c/p\u003eHistorically, Italy has indeed done this way. Soon after the two sides opened the film, the Italian Parliament set a neutral policy. Then, according to the bids of both parties, Italy finally chose the Allied Powers. On the one hand, it got some territory from France. It also "recovered" part of the land from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which is really a good idea. \u003c/p\u003eHowever, it is a pity that at one time and another, at that time, everyone had already started filming, and Italy was naturally a rare commodity to live in. Although there is not much difference between the performance of the army and the lack of it.... But the navy allowed the Allies to occupy the command of the Mediterranean Sea. But now? Then hehe. \u003c/p\u003e "This incident was just an accident, and the Italian government's statement was just to solve the problem peacefully. After all, war means destruction and death. What's more, Britain and France have made similar statements, and Is it not good for your country to just blame Italy?" Luigi said, wiping the cold sweat off his head. \u003c/p\u003eIt is not very difficult for the Germans to guess what Italy thinks, but what makes the Italians uneasy is that Germany really intends to talk to Italy about this matter this time. With? Everything is afraid of the word "seriousness", and this time, the Germans intend to be serious... \u003c/p\u003e "So the French fleet was beaten by us in North Africa! And the British are also restoring relations with the German government afterwards, so well, what is Italy doing now? Your country's institutions in Berlin have not taken any action. And You are still arguing that Italy's actions are reasonable, and you want us to forgive?!" The prince said a little funny. I thought to myself, don’t worry about other things, even Britain and France have made concessions, where does your confidence in Italy continue to be stubborn? \u003c/p\u003eIs Germany really planning to take this opportunity to do something to Italy? This is actually unrealistic, not to mention that Italy is still an ally now, they are also a great power anyway. It's not a big deal. What the German government means is that you just need to admit that you are a coward in Italy. Be careful in doing things in the future. \u003c/p\u003eBut this requirement is also very uncomfortable for Italy, because once this precedent is set, what will Italy do next time similar things happen? Should we follow the baton of the Germans, or continue to swing at both ends in exchange for benefits? And the Italians can also think that the Germans will not do anything to Italy. The Triple Alliance at least gives Germany a superficial absolute advantage over France. The Italians don't care about punishments that cannot harm Italy's interests.

\u003c/p\u003e"It is impossible for your country to use pressure to make Italy succumb. The succumbing of Britain and France does not mean that Italy will succumb." Luigi felt that it was a bit useless to say too much, and now he put on a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water I just don't accept his attitude, so what can you do? \u003c/p\u003e"Then the battleships under construction in your country may only use steel armor." The prince said with a smile. \u003c/p\u003e"We can go buy Harvey's hardened armor." Duke Abziru said in a deep voice. \u003c/p\u003e "Let's not talk about how much extra money your country needs to spend to buy these warships, but judging from the current US armor production capacity, these armors are not yet sufficient for the US Navy, which is rapidly expanding its military, and the margin may not be enough It is used by your country. And I still have this in my hand." The prince took out a check from his pocket. \u003c/p\u003e"Here's a check for up to £600,000! I can use that money to order supplies from America if I want to, if I'm happy. You don't think Harvey Hardened Armor Works The boss behind the scenes only makes armor, right? It’s nothing more than a question of interest exchange. For them, whether it’s armor, oil or other items, they make money. If you were the boss, would you sell me a face? "The prince now likes to smash his opponents with money more and more! \u003c/p\u003eThe prince is about to throw the check in the opponent's face now, and then ask the opponent loudly, do you believe it or not! Believe it or not! Importing oil from the United States and building oil reserves is the established national policy of the prince. Similarly, Germany, as a leader in the electrical appliance industry, also imports a large amount of copper ore. These are all bargaining chips and can be traded with the Americans, ha The market for dimensional armor is relatively small, and it is not easy to expand production overnight, and it must first meet the needs of the United States. Therefore, the prince really has a way to let the Italians build warships with steel armor... \u003c/p\u003e"You're a threat!" Luigi didn't expect the Germans to come back, and he said angrily. He felt that the prince's behavior was completely unreasonable. This is obviously detrimental to others, just such a thing, as for it? What benefits can Bavaria gain from serving Prussia in this way? "This is not good for you and your kingdom, it's just a battle of wills."\u003c/p\u003e "I am willing, is 600,000 pounds a lot? Although Bavaria is small, it still doesn't care about this little money. Money is for money What? Isn’t it to make people’s lives more comfortable, or to make some people’s lives uncomfortable? Don’t you think so?” The prince’s smiling face is so terrifying to the Italians, of course, there is a little The prince will not say clearly that this business of ordering oil from the United States is in return for the United States' support for Germany's actions...  Eventually reimbursed by the German central government…. \u003c/p\u003eThanks to the book friends Happy Xiongjun, Ah Ah Ah Ah History, Sea Boundary, bighill1982's \u003c/a\u003e~~~, and book friends You Yushang, xvxinyi, Sheng Shi, Leng Huanyue\u003c/a\u003e Support~~~, the second update is ~~~, and the recommendation in the afternoon~~~!
