In the office of Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Tang Shaoyi is meeting with the German Ambassador to China, August. Feng. Klinder and the Austro-Hungarian ambassador to China, Anton Anderson. Huber held talks. There was only one main element of the talks, and that was how to deal with Italy, the traitor. Italy used to be one of the members of the Central Powers, but after the war began, seeing the defeat of Germany, the Italians, after being co-opted by the Entente, turned their backs on the Allied Powers, joined the Entente, and launched an attack on the Central Powers, which made Germany and Austria-Hungary hate all the time. Especially the Austro-Hungarian Empire, if it weren't for the timely rescue of Germany, they might have been invaded by the Italians!

"Your Excellency the two ambassadors, now King Vittorio of Italy. Emmanuele III and Prime Minister Giovanni. Joliti and the other high-ranking officials have been captured by us! So, is it possible to draw an end to the war in Italy? In this way, we will also be able to devote our limited forces to other battlefields and strive to end this war as soon as possible! Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi said!

"That's right, since Vittorio. . . Emmanuele III has already been captured, and we can totally get Italy to admit to surrendering! "The Austro-Hungarian ambassador to China, Anton . Huber said first. Of the three great powers, China, Germany and Austria-Hungary, Austria-Hungary was undoubtedly the weakest. After two years of war, Austria-Hungary had almost exhausted its national strength. If it is possible to end the war against Italy early, and plunder a great deal of wealth from Italy. This was very helpful in restoring the national strength of the Austro-Hungarian Empire!

"Forcing Italy to surrender. Germany has no objection either! But. The Italian army was two million men, so many Italian troops, what if they refused to surrender? The German Ambassador to China, August. Feng. Clinder said.

"It's not easy! If they don't surrender, we'll wipe them all out! Now that both the King of Italy and the zhèngfǔ have been captured by China, do the Italians still have the courage to continue fighting? "Anton. Ambassador Huber said with a smile.

"There is another question, which country did so many Italian troops surrender to? Will it surrender to China, or will it surrender to the Allies? "August. Feng. Ambassador Klinder then asked. The defeat of Italy is now irrefutable. But. After the defeat of Italy, how to divide the huge interests is a big question! Who deserves a little more, and who wants to give a little less?

"In the war against Italy, Austria-Hungary withstood the main attack of the Italian army. Therefore, Italy should surrender to Austria-Hungary! "Anton. Ambassador Huber said Prime Minister. This is not the time for humility. Modesty will only be detrimental to the interests of their respective countries. Neither China, nor Germany, nor Austria-Hungary, will budge!

"Don't forget, it was we who captured Rome and it was Italy that was defeated! Moreover, the king and the head of the Kingdom of Italy are under our control. Italy should surrender to us! Tang Shaoyi also said immediately!

"Your Excellency the Minister for Foreign Affairs. We are allies, and now the war is not over. There should be no quarrel over this issue! In this way, the armies of northern Italy surrendered to Germany and Austria-Hungary, and the armies of the south to China! "August. Feng. Ambassador Klinder said!

Tang Shaoyi nodded and agreed. In any case, the King of Italy and the high-ranking officials are under the control of China, and China will definitely not suffer when it comes to distributing Italy's interests. And Austria-Hungary has no opinion, after all, they have already taken a big advantage by being able to defeat Italy now! If it hadn't been for the Chinese raid on Rome, the war wouldn't have lasted for long!

"Lord Tang, Ambassador Klinder, what are we going to do with Italy? Italy is a traitor, and we should deal with Italy harshly! In addition, in this war against Italy, Austria-Hungary paid a heavy price! Thus, Austria-Hungary hoped to be compensated by the territories of this region in Italy, such as the Trentino Alto Adige, Friuli-Venice Giulia, and Veneto. In addition, Austria-Hungary will receive 70% of the war reparations paid by Italy in the future! In order to completely eliminate the threat posed by Italy, Austria-Hungary will need to station troops in Italy in the future to ensure the safety of Austria-Hungary! "Anton. Ambassador Huber said!

Listened to Anton. After Ambassador Huber's words, Tang Shaoyi smiled, and August. Feng. Ambassador Klinder frowned. Obviously, Austria-Hungary wanted to bite off a piece of fat on Italy's body to make up for its own losses in the war. In addition, Austria-Hungary wanted to weaken Italy as much as possible and prevent Italy from posing another threat to Austria-Hungary. China is obviously aiming the same thing, Sicily has already been occupied by China, and China will certainly not return Sicily to Italy. In addition, Sardinia is also a target of China, and now the Chinese navy has escorted two infantry divisions to Sardinia, preparing to occupy it first, creating a fait accompli. In addition, Corsica in the north of Sardinia, although this island belongs to France, is also the homeland of Napoleon the Great. But China was also prepared to take Corsica by force when Germany destroyed France. In this way, China will have a solid foothold in the Mediterranean Sea in the future. Therefore, the Austro-Hungarian Empire looked like it was going to carve up Italy, and China was very much in favor of this. But the Germans were certainly not willing to weaken Italy too much. In the future strategy of the Germans, the entire Western world is a weapon against China. Germany needs to unite more countries in the Western world if it can compete with China for world hegemony. Although Italy is weak, its industrial strength is still good. If Italy joins, it will be of great help to Germany!

"China also made great efforts in this war to destroy Italy! When Italy betrayed the Central Powers and attacked Austria-Hungary, China launched an attack at the first time, annihilating the Italian navy and capturing Sicily, effectively striking a blow to the arrogance of the Italians and containing a large part of the Italian army! Therefore, after the end of the war, Italy had to recognize China's ownership of Sicily and Sardinia. In addition, the districts of Basilicata and Calabria in southern Italy should also be ceded to the total. China must account for at least 30 percent of Italy's future war reparations! Tang Shaoyi said!

August. Feng. Ambassador Klinder was very angry, China and Austria-Hungary were completely trying to divide up Italy! Moreover, Austria-Hungary will account for 70 percent of Italy's war reparations, China will account for 30 percent, and what about Germany? Isn't there nothing left?

"Two, although Italy was seduced by the Entente and betrayed us in this war, they have now been punished, and we should not have forcibly occupied so much territory in Italy! In addition, even if Italy were to pay war reparations, it should have a share that belonged to Germany! "August. Feng. Ambassador Klinder said!

The last thing Germany wants is China's expansion in Europe. The Mediterranean Sea is located in the southern part of Europe, China has already occupied Sicily, and has also acquired Gibraltar and the Balearic Islands from Spain, and if China occupies Sardinia and southern Italy, China will have a solid base in the Mediterranean. Together with China's powerful navy and air force, it is completely possible to blockade Europe from the south. This is not a good thing for Germany, and of course Germany will desperately stop this qiē!

It's just that August. Feng. Ambassador Clinder's words were first and foremost reassured. Ambassador Huber's opposition! Austria-Hungary can't manage so much, Austria-Hungary's strength is limited, and it can't compete for world hegemony, so it just wants to expand its strength as much as possible. And plundering the territory and wealth of the enemy country is undoubtedly the most direct way.

The three of them have their own thoughts, which makes it difficult for everyone to agree. In the end, seeing that no agreement could be reached, everyone had to put the issue on hold for the time being.

"That's it! Wait until this world war is completely over, and then we will discuss the disposition of Italy! Before that, let's disarm Italy! "August. Feng. Ambassador Klinder said!

"Yes! But in order to prevent the Italians from recognizing it in the future, our military occupation of Italy will do! "Anton. Ambassador Huber said. He's determined to get his hands on the three districts of northeastern Italy first!

"And what about Rome?" August. Feng. Ambassador Klinder said!

"Rome is now under our control, and of course it should be occupied by China!" At this point, Tang Shaoyi was very resolute, and did not agree to Germany's proposal for the three presidents to occupy Rome!

Eventually, after some bargaining, the Chinese occupied Florence and Italy to the south, while Florence and Italy to the north were occupied by Germany and Austria.

Subsequently, China, Germany, and Austria-Hungary persecuted the Italian king Vittorio. Emmanuele III announced the surrender of Italy and called on the Italian army to surrender to China, Germany, and Austria. The vast majority of the Italian army obeyed the king's call and came into contact with the armed forces, and the very few who refused to surrender were also exterminated. As for what to do with Italy, we need to wait until the world war is completely over! However, the countries that imposed military occupation on Italy all began to plunder the wealth of Italy! )
