My Italian Chapter 500

"This condition looks pretty good, at least half of Tunisia can be won."

Carlo put down the telegram in his hand and spoke to the Prime Minister.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this time, thanks to Bakona's hard work and His Majesty's accurate judgment of the situation, our country will not be able to get half of Tunisia's protection rights."

Antonio this is not touting, but a true portrayal of his heart. Because just relying on judgment and some suggestive words, let the French obediently give half of the Tunisian region, this is really something I can't even think about, so let His Majesty do it.

That's right, about the negotiation with France, he, the prime minister, did not intervene at all, mainly relying on the foreign minister and the kingdom.

However, in the face of the Prime Minister's praise, Carlo waved his hand. "Prime Minister, this matter can't be considered a success, it can only be considered a little regret, and it has been considered an effort."

Maybe the Prime Minister would think it was the king's humble words, but for Carlo, it was the truth, more gold than real gold. How could Carlo forget the famous Moroccan crisis. Although this crisis was nothing in the previous life, it was a great event for Europe, because it represented the formation of the two major European camps, and the alliance camp and the alliance camp were announced.

In the past life, there were many people who knew about the Moroccan crisis, but not many people who knew it carefully, and Carlo still had a deep memory of this history because he debated with people. It is also because of this memory that Carlo made a bold plan based on the current situation and the current situation in Italy, which is to use information asymmetry to deceive the French.

However, taking into account the confidentiality, all the details of the plan, only three people know, that is, Carlo, the Prime Minister, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary were a little bit unsure about Carlo's whimsical plans.

If it weren't for the image of the king's wise and martial arts over the years, he would have thought of finding a doctor for him. So I was a little reluctant at first, but despite the passage of time, this unreliable plan is getting closer and closer to reality. Until the French were really willing to use Tunisian land as a condition to appease Italy, the two were really dumbfounded. That's why the Prime Minister looked at Carlo as if he were looking at God.

Carlo, who didn't know that he was playing the image of a **** in the minds of the two important officials, sighed a little while looking at this condition. "These French people are really generous, and they transferred the protection of the place to Italy as a reward for Italy not to use military means against France from Sfax, which is separated from the Libyan province, to Tunisia in the south, along the line of Gafsa. It's a pity this is the land of the South, not the North."

The reason why Carlo sighs so much is that most of the arable land in Tunisia is in the north, while the south is dominated by desert and mountainous terrain, and the few arable lands are concentrated in the long and narrow coastal areas, which is not much better than the situation in Libya.

From an economic point of view, the volume of southern Tunisia can only occupy 20% of the economic territory of Tunisia. So on the surface, the French gave half of Tunisia's interests to Italy, but in fact they gave up to 20%.

Don't think this is Italy's disadvantage, know how difficult it is to get colonies from others in this day and age, let alone the French who will never let go.

Besides, there is no cost to Italy. This is a completely unreasonable benefit, and how high can it be?

As for France, being able to tie up Italy with a small portion of Tunisia's interests is also a very cost-effective deal. At least it can cut out all of Germany's allies. Even if there is a worst situation, it will only deal with the German family. Not to mention that I still have the support of the British on my side, at least it can make the German government think about it.

So after getting the Italians, France is no longer polite with the Germans, and argued with the arguments at the Madrid meeting. During this period, the two countries also acted frequently. Germany began to mobilize its reservists in June, and France, not to be outdone, also began to mobilize its troops, and then sent more troops to the German-French border.

The bold move of the French immediately attracted a serious response from Germany, who also sent their own troops to the border. For a time on the German-French border, millions of troops from both sides gathered here, and only one spark was needed to detonate the situation in Europe.

In the face of the tension between Germany and France, how can other countries sit still? Britain, Russia, Austria, Italy and other European countries have stepped forward to persuade the two countries. The British Empire, the most important of them, has issued a clear warning, asking the two countries to restrain their armies and not to break out a military conflict.

Of course, in addition to the obvious warning, the British Empire is also a master of secret diplomacy. He first warned Germany that it should not attack France at this time, otherwise the British Empire would intervene armed.

In the face of the warning from the British Empire, although the German monarchs and ministers at this time had the intention to challenge their status~www.mtlnovel.com~, they were not fools and were willing to challenge both Britain and France at the same time. So in the face of the British Empire's warning, no one in Germany will take it seriously. For this reason, Admiral Tirpitz told the Kaiser and the government bluntly that the German navy did not have enough strength at present. If a war broke out, the German navy would not be able to protect overseas interests.

The attitude of Marshal Tirpitz represented the thoughts of many Germans at this time, who were afraid of the huge navy of the British Empire.

These people are mainly overseas traders and colonial interests. Especially in the Philippine colony at present, many German companies have invested there. At present, it is the moment when these investments are entering the harvest period, so many people have raised objections. Money moves people's hearts, and no one is exempt.

To put it another way, Germany has now entered the harvest period in the Philippines, and its net financial income reached a new high of 47 million marks in 1904, becoming the only German colony to make money overseas.

Of course, in addition to warning the Germans, the French did not have to run. They were also warned privately by the British Empire not to provoke the Germans. If the conflict was provoked by the French, the British Empire would remain neutral.

Don't think that the British Empire can't see the minds of the French, and if you want to use the British Empire to solve the Germans' minds, do you really think that civilized gentlemen can't see it?

The gentlemen of the British Empire have long seen what the French think, so they warned the French not to think about dragging the British Empire into the water now.

Of course, it wasn't just the British Empire that did it. Several others also needed to be involved, and Italy was no exception.
