After the guest and host sat down, Lin Youde spoke first.

"I wonder how much you sacrificed to get rid of French rule in order to finally become independent from France and Austria-Hungary. And now, in order to get rid of the Pope, you do not hesitate to resort to the hands of Germany and France. "Now that Germany has annexed the main part of Austria-Hungary, it is theoretically the successor of Austria-Hungary, in other words, the Italians in front of them are actually asking the suzerains who had been driven away to re-enter their country and take away the fruits of their hard-won independence.

"The Kingdom of Sardinia put in so many efforts and sacrificed so many people for the dynastic war, aren't you afraid that Prime Minister Cavour will come from hell to ask for his guilt?"

After Lin Youde finished speaking, the people related to the former Kingdom of Sardinia present all showed complicated expressions.

At this time, the head of the Restoration faction, who had been slapped in the face by Lin Youde at the airport and brushed his prestige, spoke: "Since Benito? When Mussolini came to power, that country was no longer the one established by His Excellency Cavour, and now we only intend to use this opportunity to steer it back on track. ”

"What kind of track is it going to lead back on?" Lin Youde leaned forward slightly, "I don't know what kind of quid pro quo you negotiated with France, Sardinia?" Sicily? I don't care, but if Germany is to intervene, we need benefits that can actually be obtained, for example, Libya. ”

Lin Youde still went straight to the point as always, and the person on the other side of the table was obviously prepared for Lin Youde's style of conversation, and he also leaned forward and pressed his hands on the table: "Mr. Lin, do you want to treat Libya as a German colony?" Because you are the Arabs in Baghdad, you can justifiably drive the Arabs to the Red Sea, and no one in Libya will be stupid enough to attack you first......"

"I think you're mistaken," Lin Youde interrupted the Italians, "I don't intend to make Libya our colony. As always, I support the Libyan people in resolving their own problems independently. You know what I mean, right? ”

The Italians, of course, understood what Lin Youde meant, Libya was independent, and the Italian colonizers got out.

Lin Youde was satisfied to see that the Italians nodded, so he continued: "We will enter Libya as a helper to help them improve their infrastructure, provide their people with well-paid jobs, and at the same time impart certain experience and skills to them in due course." ”

The Italian had a "hell of a hell of a "hell if I believe what you say".

Lin Youde continued without changing his face: "Of course, these have a price, of course we will squeeze the blood and sweat of the Libyans, but we will squeeze it in a much more clever way than what you are doing now." I don't think you would understand the essence of these much clever ways even if I told you about them. ”

Lin Youde once wanted to be a proletarian X-class X-level X-life family or something, but that was just "once", now Lin Youde is the president behind Vale, one of the world's most powerful business trusts, he will not give up exploitation, as a former proletarian, all he can do is to do his best to ensure that those employees who work for Vale can be treated kindly.

However, Lin Youde's words obviously hurt the self-esteem of the Italians, especially the Venetians sitting on the left, the Venetians relied on business in their early years and had considerable conceit in business.

The Venetians, led by the group, had been playing with his ring, which had the emblem used when Venice was an independent city-state.

Suddenly, he spoke: "Compared with the French, your request is obviously more acceptable, Mr. Lin." ”

"Oh, what kind of price did the French offer?" Lin Youde said and turned his head to look at Xia Li, who was also sitting at the table.

Xia Li pursed her lips and did not say anything.

Then the Venetian turned to his companions: "The Germans are obviously much more merciful than the French, or rather, Chinese are obviously much kinder, and of course I think this may be due to ...... For some other reason. ”

The Venetian looked at Lydia as he spoke, and the expression on his face was simply not too easy to understand: it must be because of Lydia's good work in bed that the yellow-skinned guy was willing to relax his conditions.

Lin Youde waited silently for the Venetian to continue, and the latter was happy to meet his needs.

"You help us restore our land, and then Libya will be handed over to you - or make it independent, it's all the same for us. I don't think there's anything wrong with this deal. ”

"Shut up, Venetians, you are so far away from Libya that you must think it has nothing to do with you." The speaker banged on the table, and his face made Lin Youde suspect that he was a Sicilian, perhaps a Sicilian with the name "Tang" ('Tang' is generally the honorary title of the godfather of the Sicilian mafia).

The Sicilians, because of their distance, have close trade ties with Turks, Nigeria and Belgium, and they certainly do not want their goods to be subject to additional customs duties for no reason.

The next scene was more speechless, and the Italian delegates argued in front of Lin Youde like this, and they had no intention of backing down at all.

However, Lin Youde has seen a similar situation in another time and space - at least the Italians are only a war of words, and they have not yet staged an all-out military act like the parliament of a certain bay.

Lin Youde suddenly remembered that there was an Italian beside him, and turned his head to see what state Lydia was in, but when he turned his head, he saw Lydia sleeping soundly on his shoulder.

Not only did I sleep soundly, but I also drooled.

Lin Youde couldn't help but sigh, this eldest lady can really take off the line at any time, obviously it is such a strict occasion, she said that she will sleep when she sleeps, which is really different from the elegance and upbringing she usually shows.

However, for Lydia, what was just discussed at the conference table had nothing to do with her at all, and she didn't care about politics and military affairs at all, so it wasn't so incomprehensible that she would fall asleep because she was too bored.

Lin Youde looked at the quiet and beautiful face of the girl on his shoulder, which was reminiscent of a sleeping beauty, and couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth slightly.

At this point, the Italians finally stopped arguing, and then the head of the Kingdom of Sardinia took the lead in saying to Lin Youde: "Regarding Libya, there are still some differences between our delegations that have not been resolved, can we discuss other issues?" ”

"Other issues will be discussed by me and Mr. Lin." Xia Li, who had not spoken, immediately interjected and said, "You don't have any soldiers in your hands, and you don't have enough money to see, so the specific action steps will be agreed by me and Mr. Lin, and you have no room to speak." Are you sure you want to discuss other issues first? ”

The Italians looked at each other, and then the representative of the Sicilians said: "That's just right, we need time to get some agreement, but we have a small request, can we sit in on the two 'giants' when they discuss military operations and the like?" ”

"Although I would like to refuse your request on the grounds of military secrecy," Charlie paused, smiling at the Sicilian's Chinese-shaped face, "but I have changed my mind, and there is no problem in letting you sit in on it." So, Mr. Lin, it's our turn now. First of all, there is the question of combat effectiveness at sea. ”

"At this point in time, the German Navy has no access to the Mediterranean. I am afraid that the supremacy of the sea can only rely on the French and Italian navies. ”

At this time, one of the Italians shouted: "Yes, we still have a navy, how can we say that we have no soldiers?" ”

"The Italian Navy is now under the unified command of the Human Innovation Alliance's Maritime Command, not your soldiers." Xia Li pointed out with a flat expression, "And the object of the navy's allegiance is Miss Lydia who is sleeping over there. ”

"Huh?" Lydia seemed to react to her name, and she lifted her head off Lin Youde's shoulders and looked around the room with a blank expression.

Lin Youde took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, then tapped his lips with his index finger.

Lydia immediately understood, wiping her mouth with a handkerchief.

"No, I'm sorry," Lydia's face flushed, "I really didn't mean to, I ...... Ah, it's a tiring journey! It's so tiring to fly. ”

"Well, no one will blame you." Lin Youde said soothingly.

"Really?" Lydia looked at Lin Youde, and then at the Italian representatives on the other side of the table, without exception, with expressions of hatred of iron and steel.

Lin Youde pursed his lips, and then responded gently: "Really, everyone understands that you dozed off because you were tired from the journey, and your sleeping face just now also feasted the eyes of all the men here." ”

After Lin Youde finished speaking, he glanced at the Italians on the other side of the table, and they all looked away.

Apparently they did appreciate Lydia's sleeping face.

At this time, Xia Li coughed and redrew her attention to herself.

"The Navy had no objection to a sortie to seize supremacy of the sea, but they wanted to know how much they could get Luftwaffe support."

"I will deploy a wing of attack aircraft transferred from the Black Sea in Crete, and I am sure they will impress the British ships departing from Alexandria. Another mixed wing of fighter and attack aircraft will also be deployed to Turquoise/Nissi/S to cover naval operations. ”

"Very well, then after gaining control of the Mediterranean Sea west of the Apennine Peninsula, I will send ships to transport the French troops to the arrival of the French troops in Turquoise and Nis, and then we will begin to take over the Libyan ......"

"Take over? What do you mean? ”

"The meaning of taking over the administration of a territory from a leader who is unable to govern the territory." Lin Youde calmly explained to the Italians, "This is to avoid a humanitarian catastrophe in a state of anarchy. ”

Lin Youde felt that he was so proficient in saying this set of rhetoric that he didn't have any psychological burden at all.

"Are you going to make Libyan independence a fait accompli?"

Xia Li continued to smile at the angry Italians: "Have you forgotten what I just said? You don't have a say in the specific course of action. You can question, but we don't have to give you any response. ”

"But ......"

"When we take out the Holy See, we will let you go back to rule the reunited Italy," Lin Youde and Xia Li seamlessly connected, not giving the Italians the slightest chance to interject, "That's what you mean here, shut up now." ”

Lin Youde's words choked the Italians' faces purple.

Some of them squinted at the Italian "supreme force" present at this time, and found that the supreme force fell asleep on Lin Youde's shoulder again, and the drooling saliva also wet Lin Youde's shoulder.

Lin Youde continued to discuss with Xia Li about future combat operations in the Mediterranean, and no longer paid attention to the Italians.

During the discussion, Lin Youde suddenly heard someone on the other side of the table sigh softly in Italian: "This Italy is a pill." ”
