Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the office of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi, Tang Shaoyi was holding talks with the German Ambassador to China, August von Klind, and the Austro-Hungarian Ambassador to China, Anton Huber.  The main content of the talks was only one, and that was how to deal with Italy, the traitor.  Italy was once a member of the Allied Powers, but after the war started and saw Germany's defeat, the Italians, after being attracted by the Allies, deserted the Allies, joined the Allies, and launched an attack on the Allies. This made Germany and Austria-Hungary  The empire has always hated it with itch.  Especially the Austro-Hungarian Empire. If Germany hadn't rescued them in time, they might have been invaded by the Italians!

    "Your Excellencies, the two ambassadors, now the Italian King Vittorio Emanuele III, the Prime Minister Giovanni Giolitti and other senior government officials have been captured by us! So, is the war in Italy just a matter of time?  Can this be brought to an end? In this case, we can also devote our limited troops to other battlefields and strive to end this war as soon as possible!" said Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi!

    "That's right, now that Vittorio Emanuele III has been captured, we can definitely get the Italian government to admit surrender!" Anton Huber, the Austro-Hungarian Ambassador to China, said first.  Among the three powerful countries, China, Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is undoubtedly the weakest.  Two years of war had almost exhausted the Austro-Hungarian Empire's national strength.  If the war against Italy can be ended as soon as possible and a large amount of wealth can be plundered from Italy, it will be very helpful to restore the national power of the Austro-Hungarian Empire!

    "Germany has no objection to forcing Italy to surrender! However, the Italian Army has two million people. With so many Italian troops, what if they refuse to surrender?" German Ambassador to China August von Kling  De said.

    "This is not easy! If they don't surrender, we will wipe them all out! Now that the Italian king and government have been captured by China, do the Italians still have the courage to continue fighting?" Ambassador Anton Huber smiled.  said.

    "There is another question, which country did so many Italian troops surrender to? To China or to the Allies?" Ambassador August von Klinde then asked.  Italy's defeat is now irrefutable.  However, after defeating Italy, how to divide the huge benefits is a big problem!  Who deserves more, and who is willing to share less?

    ¡°In the war against Italy, the Austro-Hungarian Empire withstood the main attack of the Italian Army. Therefore, Italy should surrender to the Austro-Hungarian Empire!¡± Ambassador Prime Minister Anton Huber said.  This is not the time to be humble.  If you show humility, you will only lose the interests of your respective countries.  No matter it is China, Germany or the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they will not give in!

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

    "Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, we are allies. The war is not over yet, so we should not quarrel over this issue! Let's do this, the army in northern Italy surrenders to Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the army in the south surrenders to China!" August.  Ambassador von Klinde said!

    Tang Shaoyi nodded and acknowledged this.  Anyway, the Italian king and senior government officials are under China's control. When distributing Italy's interests, China will definitely not suffer.  And the Austro-Hungarian Empire has no objection. After all, they can defeat Italy now, and they have already taken a huge advantage!  If China hadn't raided Rome, I don't know how long the war would have lasted!

    "Master Tang, Ambassador Klind, how should we deal with Italy? Italy is a traitor, and we should deal with Italy severely! In addition, in this war against Italy, the Austro-Hungarian Empire paid a heavy price! Therefore, the Austro-Hungarian Empire paid a heavy price.  , the Austro-Hungarian Empire hopes to receive the territory of Italy's Trentino-Alto Adige, Friuli-Venice Giulia and Veneto regions as compensation. In addition, among the future war reparations paid by Italy, Austria-Hungary will  The Hungarian Empire wants to get 70%! In order to completely eliminate the threat from Italy to us, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will need to station troops in Italy in the future to ensure the security of the Austro-Hungarian Empire!" Ambassador Anton Huber said!

    After listening to Ambassador Anton Huber¡¯s words, Tang Shaoyi smiled, while Ambassador August von Klind frowned.  Obviously, the Austro-Hungarian Empire wanted to bite off a piece of fat from Italy to make up for its losses in the war.  In addition, the Austro-Hungarian Empire also hoped to weaken Italy as much as possible to prevent Italy from posing a threat to the Austro-Hungarian Empire again.  China obviously has the same purpose. Sicily has been occupied by China, and China will definitely not return Sicily.??Italy.  In addition, Sardinia is also a target of China. 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 hometown of Napoleon the Great.  But China is also preparing to occupy Corsica when Germany destroys France.  In this case, China will have a solid foothold in the Mediterranean in the future.  Therefore, the Austro-Hungarian Empire looks like it wants to carve up Italy, and China strongly agrees with this.  But the Germans are definitely 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 to 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 played a great role in the war to destroy Italy! When Italy betrayed the Allies and attacked the Austro-Hungarian Empire, China immediately launched an attack, annihilating the Italian navy and capturing Sicily. Effectively  It dampened the arrogance of the Italians and restrained a large part of the Italian army! Therefore, after the war, Italy must recognize China's ownership of Sicily and Sardinia. In addition, Basilicata in southern Italy  The District and Calabria should also be ceded to the Communist Party. China must occupy at least 30% of Italy's future war reparations!" Tang Shaoyi said!

    Ambassador August von Klind was very angry. China and the Austro-Hungarian Empire were completely trying to carve up Italy!  Moreover, Austria-Hungary will account for 70% of Italy's war reparations, and China will account for 30%. What about Germany?  Isn¡¯t there nothing left at all?

    "Both of you, although Italy was bewitched by the Allied Powers and betrayed us during this war, they have been punished now. We should not have occupied so much of Italy's territory! In addition, even if Italy has to pay war reparations  , then it should also belong to Germany!" Ambassador August von Klind said!

    ¡°The last thing Germany wants to see is China¡¯s expansion in Europe.  The Mediterranean Sea is located in the south of Europe. China has already occupied Sicily, and also obtained Gibraltar and the Balearic Islands from Spain. If China occupies Sardinia and southern Italy, China will have a solid base in the Mediterranean Sea.  .  Coupled with China's powerful navy and air force, it can completely block Europe from the south.  This is not a good thing for Germany. Of course, Germany must try its best to stop this!

    It¡¯s just that Ambassador August von Klind¡¯s words were first opposed by Ambassador Anding Huber!  The Austro-Hungarian Empire can't control that much. The Austro-Hungarian Empire has limited strength and cannot compete for world hegemony, so it just wants to expand its strength as much as possible.  And plundering the enemy's territory and wealth is undoubtedly the most direct way.

    The three of them have their own thoughts, which makes it difficult for everyone to reach an agreement.  In the end, seeing that they could not reach an agreement, everyone had to shelve the issue for the time being.

    "Let's do this! After this world war is completely over, we will discuss what to do with Italy! Before that, let's disarm Italy first!" Ambassador August von Klind suggested!

    "Yes! But in order to prevent the Italians from not admitting their guilt in the future, we must carry out military occupation of Italy!" Ambassador Anton Huber said.  He is determined to get the three districts in northeastern Italy first!

    ¡°So, what about Rome?¡± Ambassador August von Klind said!

    "Rome is now under our control. Of course it should be occupied by China!" Tang Shaoyi was very determined on this point and did not agree at all to Germany's proposal for the presidents of the three countries to occupy Rome!

    In the end, after some bargaining, China occupied Florence and Italy to the south, while Florence and Italy to the north were occupied by Germany and Austria.

    Subsequently, China, Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire forced the Italian King Vittorio Emanuele III to declare Italy's surrender and called on the Italian army to surrender to China, Germany and Austria.  Most of the Italian troops obeyed the king's call and came into contact with the armed forces. The few who refused to surrender were also wiped out.  As for how to deal with Italy, we need to wait until the world war is completely over!  However, the countries that implemented military occupation of Italy all began to plunder Italy's wealth!  (To be continued.
