    "Master Tang, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is seriously concerned about China's refusal to participate in this peace negotiation conference! China is one of the victorious countries this time, and has made a huge contribution in this war! If  If China does not participate in this peace conference, then this peace conference will have no meaning at all! Therefore, the Austro-Hungarian Empire hopes that China can participate in this peace conference so that this war can end perfectly!" Austria-Hungary hopes that China can participate in this peace conference!  Anton Huber, the Hungarian Ambassador to China, said sincerely!  China announced that if the peace conference was held in Berlin, China would not participate in the peace conference and would not recognize all the treaties signed at the peace conference. This caused an uproar around the world!  The Austro-Hungarian Empire, which had been eagerly looking forward to the early convening of the peace conference, to be able to withdraw from the quagmire of the war as soon as possible, and to receive the dividends of the war, suddenly panicked.  Therefore, Ambassador Anton Huber immediately received domestic instructions, asking him to come and find out China's intentions!

    "Unfortunately, Your Majesty the Ambassador, this is the decision of His Majesty the Emperor of our country, and we, as ministers, have no way to disobey it! However, our views are consistent with His Majesty the Emperor's views! In this war of the Chinese Empire,  Bearing most of the pressure! In the end, even the request to hold the Peace Conference in Beijing was not met, which seriously hurt the feelings of the subjects of the Chinese Empire! Therefore, everyone in the empire expressed their opinions on this  Indignation! If the Empire attends the peace conference held in Berlin at this time, I am afraid it will arouse strong dissatisfaction among the people in the country!" Tang Shaoyi replied!

    Anton Huber nodded in understanding.  For the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the overall strength of the country was really far behind whether compared with China or Germany.  This made the Austro-Hungarian Empire have some extravagant hopes for world hegemony, but it also knew how much it had and did not dare to take action to avoid being attacked by Germany and China!  Therefore, what the Austro-Hungarian Empire cares about is not where the peace negotiation conference is held. Although it is held in Berlin, it is much closer to the Austro-Hungarian Empire.  However, if it is held in Beijing, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will not have any problems. What they are really concerned about is how much benefits the Austro-Hungarian Empire can gain from this peace negotiation meeting!

    "Master Tang, that is to say, if the peace conference cannot be held in Beijing, will China really refuse to participate in this peace conference?" Anton Huber took a deep breath and then asked.  He needs a definite answer so he can report back home!

    "Your Excellency, Ambassador, this is indeed the case! Either the peace conference will be held in Beijing, or China will not participate in the peace conference this time. There are only these two options, and there is no other choice!" Tang Shaoyi said with absolute certainty!

    "Then the Austro-Hungarian Empire expresses regret for this!" Anton Huber said with some frustration!  In his opinion, if China and Germany refuse to compromise with each other, it will undoubtedly be a major blow to the Austro-Hungarian Empire!  The Austro-Hungarian Empire is already in crisis, and it is hoping to use the war dividends obtained this time to solve domestic problems!  If it continues to be delayed, I am afraid that the Austro-Hungarian Empire will be severely damaged!

    "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, Ambassador! However, Your Excellency, Ambassador, I have other things that need to be discussed with Your Excellency, Ambassador!" Tang Shaoyi said!

    "Oh? Mr. Tang, please speak!" Anton Huber was stunned and asked immediately!

    "Your Excellency Ambassador, after this war, several major powers in Europe were either destroyed or severely damaged! Then, there are only two remaining powers in Europe! Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire! However, Germany's  The strength seems to be much stronger than that of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and this time Germany is destined to annex France, and the British also turn to Germany, then Germany's strength will far exceed that of the Austro-Hungarian Empire! Europe is too small.  It cannot accommodate two big countries, not to mention that Germany is still a big country with huge ambitions! The relationship between China and Germany is very tense now, but after all, our two countries are too far apart! In addition, with China¡¯s current strength, Germany should not be able to do so for the time being.  Dare to be an enemy of China! So, where will Germany's next expansion direction be?" Tang Shaoyi looked at Anton Huber and said seriously!

    Anton Huber¡¯s face also became serious, although he knew that Tang Shaoyi was deliberately trying to sow discord between Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire!  However, he had to admit that what Tang Shaoyi said was very correct!  If Germany wants to expand outwards again, then the Austro-Hungarian Empire will undoubtedly become the best choice!  After all, no country in Europe can restrain Germany now, and the Germans' ambitions are also rising, and this will lay the foundation for the Austro-Hungarian Empire!

    "Master Tang, I think that the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Germany are allies, and the Germans are one! Germany will not take action against us!" Anton Huber said!  However, he himself may not believe this statement!

    "If that's the case, then the best??Can't be better!  Your Excellency, the Ambassador of the Empire to Austria-Hungary plans to meet with the Prime Minister of your country in the near future to have an in-depth exchange of views on the future relationship between the Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, as well as the future world situation.  I wonder if the Ambassador can report to your government first so that a reasonable time can be arranged?  "Tang Shaoyi said! He knew that it would not be easy to win over the Austro-Hungarian Empire, or to plant a nail between Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire! However, if it succeeds, for China,  It is very beneficial! Although the Austro-Hungarian Empire is weak, with the support of China, it can also exert a great restriction on Germany!

    "Okay, Mr. Tang, I will report it to the country!" Anton Huber nodded.

    Vienna, one of the famous cities in Europe and even the world, is not only the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Kingdom of Austria, but also a world-famous music capital.  Vienna is now ruled by the Habsburg dynasty, a royal family with a long history that has ruled this country for hundreds of years!  The Austro-Hungarian Empire was a peculiar country, consisting of more than a dozen kingdoms, principalities and principalities, large and small, including the Kingdom of Austria, the Kingdom of Hungary, the Principality of Bohemia, the Kingdom of Dalmatia, and Galicia-Lodo.  Kingdom of Merry, Principality of Bukovina, Principality of Carinthia, Principality of Carniola, Principality of Salzburg, Principality of Silesia, Principality of Styria, Principality of Moravia and Croatia-Slaas  Kingdom of Warnia.  The King of Austria is also the emperor of the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire, ruling this empire composed of more than a dozen countries!  However, the extremely uneven development among the various member states of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, coupled with the large number of ethnic groups, has caused the country's development to reach a bottleneck.  In addition, Emperor Franz Joseph I of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was already extremely old, and the Crown Prince Archduke Ferdinand was a typical person with great ambitions and limited talent, which made the prospects of the Austro-Hungarian Empire even more ominous!

    At 8 a.m. local time on July 14, Chinese Ambassador to Austria-Hungary Shen Ruilin took a car from the embassy to the official residence of the Austro-Hungarian Prime Minister to visit the Austro-Hungarian Prime Minister Mario Weber.  In addition to the central government of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, each country below also had its own government, including heads of government, etc. However, in terms of military affairs, except for the Kingdom of Austria and the Kingdom of Hungary, no one had autonomy.  In terms of diplomacy, the Austro-Hungarian Empire also has full authority to handle it!

    The car is driving on the streets of Vienna. The Chinese flag on the front of the car makes the car flow smoothly on the somewhat congested streets!  With the end of this world war, China has undoubtedly become the biggest winner in this world war!  China has become a veritable world hegemon, and all countries are in awe of China's powerful strength. This also allows China's envoys and staff abroad to stand upright!

    Half an hour later, the car drove into the official residence of the Austro-Hungarian Prime Minister. Prime Minister Mario Weber was already waiting on the eunuch at the door!  In addition to Mario Weber, Count Leopold von Berchtold, the Foreign Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Austria, is also waiting here!  From this we can see how China's international status has improved greatly!

    "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, good morning!" Shen Ruilin said hello first after getting out of the car!

    "Your Excellency Ambassador, welcome to your visit, please come in!" Prime Minister Mario Weber also smiled and looked amiable!

    The three of them went directly to Prime Minister Mario Weber¡¯s office. When the secretary brought coffee, exited and closed the door, everything in the office suddenly became quiet!

    ¡°Your Excellency, Ambassador, I wonder what the purpose of your visit this time is?¡± Prime Minister Mario Weber asked directly.

    "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, first of all, on behalf of our country, I would like to solemnly express to your country that if the peace negotiation conference is held in Berlin, our country will refuse to participate! We are very sorry for the impact this will have on your country!  "Ambassador Shen Ruilin said apologetically!

    "Your Excellency Ambassador, your country has its own reasons, and we understand this!" Prime Minister Mario Weber said.  However, it is simply unrealistic to say that the Austro-Hungarian Empire does not have any doubts in its heart!  However, China is too powerful and the Austro-Hungarian Empire cannot influence China's decision-making!

    "Thank you for your understanding! Then, next I would like to talk about our country's views on the future world situation and our relationship with the Austro-Hungarian Empire!" Shen Ruilin said!

    Prime Minister Mario Weber and Foreign Minister Count Leopold von Berchtold both looked attentive!  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
