My Italian Chapter 47

As expected by Carlo, the news appeared in the newspaper that Carlo and the Prime Minister planned to visit Berlin within a few days.

You don't need to guess that this is an act authorized by the government. In the face of the visit of the Italian king and prime minister, it is of course impossible for the German side to refuse.

So soon, the topic between Germany and Italy was spread like this. Many people want to know whether Italy's visit to Germany this time is a routine visit or for what purpose.

Of these people, the French were the most zealous.

"Damn it, aren't these Italians restless at all?"

In the Prime Minister's Office, Prime Minister Ruferi, who has long been unmotivated, is furious in the office.

Judging from his expression, Ru Feili was angry.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the current problem in Italy is just a small problem, and the bigger worry is the three countries in our east."

In the room, Foreign Minister Gambetta expressed his concerns.

That's right, the news of the Three Emperors' Reunion has also not been concealed from the French. However, since they don't know the specific content, the French government is more guessing and testing. France has many friends in Russia. At present, the French ambassador to Russia has made every effort to understand any news about the Three Emperors Re-Alliance.

However, because the time is too short and the level of secrecy is too high, the French ambassador has not yet gained anything.

President Rufeili said after thinking about it. "Maybe we should show some kindness to the Italians."

"Then how do we show kindness?"

Foreign Minister Gambetta is curious about what the Prime Minister intends to do.

"We can temporarily let go of the Italian industry in Tunisia and see how the Italians react."

"It's a good idea to be unobtrusive and make Italians feel the change in our attitude."

Gambetta wholeheartedly praised this approach.

However, the foreign minister's praise did not change Prime Minister Ruferi's expression.

"I'm not worried about the Italians. It's mainly the alliance formed by Germany, Austria and Russia that deserves our attention."

Although there is currently no evidence that the three countries signed an alliance treaty, Ruferi's intuition tells him that nine times out of ten this is true. Therefore, France cannot sit idly by and let Europe have a diplomatic situation that is unfavorable to France, and Ruferi needs to choose where to start and break up the relationship between the three.

In fact, there is no need to consider this, and Russia is the only choice.

Wanting Russia, Ruferi was a little annoyed by his predecessor's behavior. The reason is that in 1878, after the Berlin Conference, Italy, Russia, and France formed a secret treaty to prepare for war against the Austrians. Among them Russia is because of the Balkans, Italy because of the disputed region of Tyrol. In addition to winning over the two countries, France also has the idea of ​​​​preparing to cut German wings. (Diplomatic relations during this period changed very quickly, and after three years, the conspiratorial accomplices turned their backs.)

Both Russia and Italy secretly assembled their troops to prepare for war. However, the French government regretted it at this time. The French pressed the pause button at the last minute because the Austrians did not sign the terms against France with Germany.

And the Austrians who escaped the catastrophe immediately signed a treaty of comprehensive alliance with Germany a year later. Seeing the German-Austrian all-round alliance, some worried about Russia on its western border, and immediately put down her stature and wanted to join it.

Everyone knows what happened next. France robbed Tunisia, Italy's favorite, and the relationship between the two countries deteriorated completely. I don't know if Prime Minister Ruferi now regrets his move to completely push Italy away.

As for the relationship between France and Germany, almost all politicians agree that because of the issue of Lorraine and Alsace, they cannot live in peace. Although there is no outbreak at present, a series of conflicts will inevitably break out between France and Germany in the future.

This is the general view of people of insight in France, and it is also the will of the people of the middle and lower classes. No one dares to violate this principle.

France and the Austro-Hungarian Empire in Harburg are currently drifting further apart. Although diplomatic relations have not deteriorated, they are potential enemies of France by virtue of the German-Austrian Comprehensive Alliance Treaty.

Therefore, the only option among the three countries is Russia. Although Britain and France cut off Russia's attempt to reach the Mediterranean in the Crimean War, as the saying goes, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.

The interests of Germany and France cannot be reconciled, but the interests of France and Russia can be reconciled. Everyone knows the ambitions of the Russians in the Balkans. As long as Russia is not willing to extend its claws to the Balkans, France can push it behind their backs.

At that time, we will see how that Prime Minister Pismay can appease the collision of the two great powers in the Balkans.

To achieve such a goal, then France must have sufficient investment. It just so happens that the Russians are used to being poor, and France has enough money that this may be the way out.

Ru Feili, who was constantly sketching in his mind, spoke after being silent for a while. "Tell our ambassador to Russia to increase communication with the upper-level personnel of the Russians. In addition, Mr. Gambetta, do you want to communicate with Russia and arrange for us to visit Russia?"

Although Prime Minister Ruferi did not say it clearly, Gambetta is also a veteran of diplomacy and immediately understood the thoughts of His Excellency the Prime Minister.

I saw Gambetta replied immediately. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com "This is no problem, I believe St. Petersburg will welcome our visit."

As Italy prepares to visit Germany, France is also preparing for a visit to Russia.

As the visited Russia, of course, he was willing to see the visit of the French government, and he agreed to France's request without a second thought.

Both France and Italy are using their own methods to try to disintegrate the Three Emperors Alliance. Although it is impossible now, as the saying goes, a strong woman is afraid of being entangled with her husband.

Besides, these three countries have their own little abacus, and the desire for women is almost the same.

ST can beat the drums first, and when the time is right in the future, the alliance of the three will collapse in one fell swoop.

Sometimes I have to say that politics is a wonderful thing. Because of the common goal, two countries that have fallen out have completed a series of cooperation intentionally or unintentionally.

Of course, the respective visits of the two countries are still in intensive preparations, and they are still busy with their own affairs.

However, France's slowdown in Tunisia's actions against the Italian industry was immediately felt by the Italian government.

In response, the Italian government also reduced its anti-French remarks. Just like this, the hostile behavior between the two countries caused by Tunisia is slowly diminishing. However, although the official hostility of the two countries has been reduced, the people are still noisy. Among them, Garibaldi, a national hero, also led anti-French speeches in major cities.

Therefore, if the two countries want to reconcile as before, it will not be possible for one or two parties to give up enough benefits.

When the government and the people are doing their own actions, what is our Majesty Carlo doing?

He is now inspecting the former Red Shirts in training, the current third regiment of the guards.
