"After the end of this world war, the old world powers have perished or declined, and the whole world will enter a new era! At the moment, China, Germany and Austria-Hungary will become one of the three most powerful countries in the world! Among them, the contradiction between China and Germany has gradually become prominent with the passage of the world! However, in a short time, China and Germany have no possibility of going to war, after all, we are too far apart! Even if a war breaks out for world hegemony, it will take a long time to prepare!

China is full of confidence in the future war with Germany! It's not that I'm boasting, but I believe that Your Excellency the Prime Minister and Your Excellency the Foreign Minister also know that China's strength has far surpassed that of Germany! Not only in terms of industrial strength, but also in terms of military development, China is leading the development trend of the whole world, and it will be very difficult for Germany to challenge China! What's more, although Germany occupied France, although France's industry was very developed, it has now become a scorched earth, and even if the Germans rebuild France's industry, it will take a long time! And Britain is facing almost the same problem! On the other hand, China has established a complete industrial system, this time after the destruction of the United States, it has obtained a large number of industrial equipment and talents from the United States, which will make China's industrial strength once again get an explosive growth! In such a situation, who will have an absolute advantage, this is obvious!

In addition, the situation in Europe will change radically! Before the start of the world war, the whole of Europe was a confrontation between the Allies and the Entente! And now, it's Germany alone! Although Austria-Hungary was not weak, it was compared to Germany. There is still a big gap! At the same time, in order to be able to compete with China, Germany will inevitably integrate the strength of the whole of Europe and gather the strength of the whole of Europe to confront China! Only then might Germany have a chance of winning! So. In this case, the situation of Austria-Hungary will be somewhat awkward! Austria-Hungary will become the target of Germany's key wooing, or in other words, Austria-Hungary will become the goal of Germany's next development! If Germany can get Austria-Hungary, or simply annex Austria-Hungary, then. Germany's strength will rise again, so that it has the strength to challenge China! Of course, this is only the strength to challenge China, and it is also very difficult to defeat China! China's military strength was strong enough to defeat Germany. Crush their ambitions and intrigues! But where will Austria-Hungary go? Will it become a loyal ally of Germany, and Germany will be in charge of everything, or will it be annexed by Germany because it does not cooperate with Germany? This will be a very difficult choice for Austria-Hungary! Ambassador Shen Ruilin said! Almost all of his remarks were copied from the materials sent from China. If it were his own words alone, I am afraid that he would not have thought of so many points of view at all! However, the effect of these words seems to be quite good, and the Austro-Hungarian Prime Minister Mario Brown, who listened carefully to the words of Ambassador Shen Ruilin. Webb and Foreign Secretary Leopold. Feng. Count Belchedrod's face was already a little ugly!

"Your Excellency, what you said is nothing more than your guess!" Foreign Secretary Leopold. Feng. Count Belhidald retorted! It's just that he has to admit that what Shen Ruilin said is very likely to become a reality!

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, this is not just speculation. It's just an analysis made by our country based on the current international situation! Ambassador Shen Ruilin said! He knew that Austria-Hungary was in the dead duck with a hard mouth. At this time, they still want to protect their face!

"So, Your Excellency, what do you mean?" Mario. Prime Minister Webb asked directly! He knows. The Chinese side asked Ambassador Shen Ruilin to meet them, and after saying so much, it must have its own reasons!

"Your Excellency, my Government hopes to strengthen ties with Austria-Hungary! For Austria-Hungary, there was no conflict of interests between our country and Austria-Hungary! On the contrary, we have a common interest in many ways! For example, in the territorial division of the countries in the Eastern European Plain, and in the territorial division of Italy in the south, our views are almost identical! Therefore, our government believes that China and Austria-Hungary will be excellent allies! Ambassador Shen Ruilin said!

"But Germany is also our ally! Although Germany may have ambitions against Austria-Hungary over time, if Austria-Hungary and China form an alliance, we will be threatened by Germany! And China is too far away from Austria-Hungary, and if Germany attacks Austria-Hungary, it will be impossible for your country to support us in time! This will mean that we are taking huge risks! "Mario. Chancellor Webb shook his head, and then said!

"Of course, Your Excellency Prime Minister, China is too far away from Austria-Hungary, and this will not be conducive to supporting Austria-Hungary. However, doesn't this just show that there is no substantive conflict of interest between China and Austria-Hungary? In addition, as for the reinforcement of Austria-Hungary and the assistance of Austria-Hungary to defend itself against German invasion, China is also fully capable of doing it! From now on, the Empire will build a series of military bases and deploy a large number of troops in the Republic of Ireland in Western Europe, as well as in the Mediterranean and Eastern European Plains! If Austria-Hungary is invaded by Germany, then these military bases will be the first to reinforce Austria-Hungary! Perhaps relying on the strength of these military bases, it was not possible to defeat Germany, but it was enough to hold out until the main forces of China arrived! When the time comes, we will have enough strength to deal with Germany, or even defeat Germany completely! Ambassador Shen Ruilin said! If China can get the support of Austria-Hungary, then the price that China will have to pay to defeat Germany in the future will be much smaller!

"Your Excellency, this matter is a matter of great importance, and it is not something that the two of us can decide! Therefore, we are unable to give you an answer at this time! "Mario. Chancellor Webb said!

"Your Excellency, I can understand! Such a major matter concerning the fate of the country cannot be decided by my words in a moment! This is a long-term process, and China is willing to wait for Austria-Hungary to make its final choice! China believes that Austria-Hungary will be able to see the future crisis and agree with us! Shen Ruilin said with certainty!

Mario. Chancellor Webb and Foreign Secretary Leopold. Feng. Count Belchdald nodded. There is no doubt that as the top of the Austro-Hungarian government, they are also aware of the crisis that Austria-Hungary is now facing! The current Austro-Hungarian Empire can be described as internal and external difficulties! If we can't survive this crisis, this huge dualist empire is very likely to collapse! And once the Austro-Hungarian Empire collapses, I am afraid that it will immediately become a second-rate country, and the member states will either become vassal states of Germany or be directly annexed by Germany! And now it seems that if it can form an alliance with China, it may be the best choice for the Austro-Hungarian Empire!

"Now, then, let's talk about the specifics! China knew that Austria-Hungary had territorial claims to several regions in northern Italy, and China fully supported this reasonable claim of Austria-Hungary! Of course, China also has territorial claims to Sardinia and Sicily in southern Italy and Corsica in France, and we can cooperate in this regard! However, the premise is that this time the peace talks will be held in Beijing! Ambassador Shen Ruilin said!

"Of course, Your Excellency, I also believe that there is a common interest between our two countries in the handling of Italy!" Austro-Hungarian Foreign Minister Leopold. Feng. Said Count Belhidold!

After that, the three of them exchanged some key issues, and they were almost well resolved, which further enhanced the relationship between the two countries!

When Ambassador Shen Ruilin left the Austro-Hungarian Prime Minister's residence, it was already afternoon! At noon, Ambassador Shen Ruilin, accompanied by the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Austria-Hungary, had a happy lunch at the Prime Minister's Office. The three of them had a very good conversation, talking about the future international situation and relations in politics, music and painting. After this destruction, Ambassador Shen Ruilin quickly established a good personal relationship with the Austro-Crarian Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister! Although personal relations are of little use in the face of national interests, they will undoubtedly make the Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary of Austria-Hungary more inclined to the Chinese side!

When Ambassador Shen Ruilin left the Austro-Constitutional Chancellery, he was in a happy mood! Although the possibility of an alliance between Austria-Hungary and China is not yet visible, at least a solid first step has been taken! The Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Austria in particular, were dominated by Germanic peoples, although Austria suffered a crushing defeat in the war with Prussia and thus lost its right to inherit Germany. However, this did not prevent the Austrians from having a great affection for Germany! And the Kingdom of Austria was the ruler of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the attitude of Austria determined the attitude of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to a great extent! This is very difficult for China to sow discord between Austria-Hungary and Germany, and to win over Austria-Hungary!

However, even with all the difficulties, Ambassador Shen Ruilin firmly believes that he will succeed! He doesn't want to be just an ambassador to a foreign country, he also has his own ideals! And facilitating an alliance between China and Austria-Hungary was undoubtedly a bargaining chip for his own political ambitions!
