Chapter 667: The Crown Prince's Wrath (Part 3)
Crown Prince Karl and other members of the Austro-Hungarian delegation watched Vahit and Paul? Boselli and the two signed their names on the treaty with smiles on their faces.
What this means, everyone knows very well. The Germans and Italians have agreed on peace negotiations. After they signed the peace treaty, it means that their peace negotiations have ended.
Austria-Hungary, on the other hand, had been set aside and was once again betrayed by the Germans.
Crown Prince Karl was furious, and the Germans not only threw them aside in peace talks with France. Now, even when it comes to peace talks with Italy, they are once again set aside. This made Crown Prince Karl feel that it would be very, very difficult for him to realize the demands he had made. The betrayal of the allies was undoubtedly a stab in their hearts.
"Your Excellency Vahit! Why? Why did the German Empire once again reneg on the Covenant? The original covenant was clear, and no nation could make peace with its enemies alone. The last time you negotiated with France, you used the pretext that the Reich was not involved in the war against France. But what about this time? The Empire sent hundreds of thousands of troops to fight the Italians! Crown Prince Karl was furious.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, the Empire has long said that we cannot allow the negotiations between Austria-Hungary and the Kingdom of Italy to continue indefinitely. We need to conclude the peace talks as soon as possible so that we can concentrate on other matters. Therefore, when the conditions put forward by Austria-Hungary were too harsh and the differences with the Kingdom of Italy were very great, the Empire was not willing to waste time. Vahit said coldly. In the face of Crown Prince Karl's accusations, he did not care at all. Failure to comply with treaties would of course have a very negative impact on the reputation of the Empire. However, as long as the empire has gained tangible benefits, it naturally does not need to care about anything else.
"You ......" Crown Prince Karl was even more angry, these Germans were too shameless, they themselves did not abide by the treaty, but they also blamed Austria-Hungary, this is simply shameless!
"Your Excellency, what is your country doing, is it not afraid of destroying the friendship with Austria-Hungary? We are allies in this war, but your country does not treat us as allies at all! The Austro-Hungarian Foreign Minister, Baron Berhidot, was similarly ugly. What the German Empire did was nothing short of trampling on and damaging the interests of Austria-Hungary.
"Your Excellency, the agreement between the German Empire and the Kingdom of Italy shall not affect the peace negotiations between Austria-Hungary and the Kingdom of Italy. So, naturally, the interests of Austria-Hungary were not harmed. The German Empire has always attached great importance to its alliance with Austria-Hungary, and we hope that the alliance between the two sides will continue to exist. Vahit's face was sincere.
"Humph!" Crown Prince Karl snorted coldly, scoffing at Vahit's statement. He is not a fool, how could he believe such deceptive nonsense of Vahit?
"Your Excellency Vahit, I would like to protest to His Majesty the Emperor of your country against this non-compliance with the covenant of your country!" Crown Prince Karl said angrily.
"I'm sorry, but Your Majesty has left Berlin and gone to France to inspect the front." Vahit didn't even blink an eye, and directly blocked Crown Prince Karl's words.
"You ......," Crown Prince Karl felt like he was about to explode with anger. He never thought that these Germans would be so shameless. But there is no other way for them to do so. You can't just tear your face with the Germans and go to war with them because of this.
Seeing that the Germans were resolute and looked like they were not going to make money, although Crown Prince Karl and others were angry, they knew that there was no way to trouble the Germans. As a result, they were only able to target the Italians. After all, if they want to get the benefits, they can only find a way from the Italians.
"Well, in that case, let's continue to negotiate! Sir Boselli, have you considered the conditions of Austria-Hungary? If you do not agree to Austria-Hungary's terms, then be prepared to bear the wrath of Austria-Hungary! "Crown Prince Karl stared at Paul angrily? Boseli, it's good to break him to pieces.
"I'm sorry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Our country still believes that the conditions put forward by Austria-Hungary are too harsh. If Austria-Hungary does not change the conditions, then we cannot agree! "Paul? Boselli said.
After having signed a peace treaty with Germany, and having the support of the Germans, Paul? Boselli was no longer afraid of Austria-Hungary. Although Crown Prince Karl looked like he was going to eat people, he still didn't scare him.
"Are you not afraid of war? Sir Boselli, you have to think about it. Once our army launches an offensive, the consequences will be severe. Baron Belchdald reminded.
"Your Excellency, if the Kingdom of Italy agrees to your terms. Then we will be no different from the dead country. So, we'd rather fight to the death. "Paul? Boseli was very tough.
Facing Paul? Boselli's resolute attitude, Crown Prince Karl and Baron Belhidald's faces were very ugly. They all knew very well that they kept saying that they would send troops to attack the Kingdom of Italy and destroy them, just to scare the Kingdom of Italy. If you really want to do that, it will be very difficult. The Austro-Hungarian army was not strong in combat, and if the Italians had fought hard, they might not have been able to win. If it fails, then it's a big problem. Austria-Hungary not only did not get any benefit, but became a joke for the whole world. Therefore, without absolute certainty, they will never go to war against the Kingdom of Italy.
Originally, the Austro-Hungarian Empire wanted to call the German Empire and launch an attack on the Kingdom of Italy together. With the strength of the German army, it would be a sure thing to defeat the Kingdom of Italy. But who knows, the German Empire betrayed them, and privately came to an agreement with the Kingdom of Italy? This made all their plans fail.
Crown Prince Karl looked at Vahit angrily, he knew that the Germans were behind all this, otherwise, the Italians would never have had the courage to refuse the Austro-Hungarian demands.
