Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "We still have objections to the issue of limiting Italy's armaments! Italy is a huge country with tens of millions of people. If we only retain an army of 50,000 people, we cannot guarantee the stability of the entire country and society!" Italian Prime Minister  Giovanni Giolitti said.  Now that the territory has been ceded and war reparations are no longer bargainable, he can only protect Italy's interests from other places as much as possible!  The military aspect is also very important.  If Italy's armaments are restricted, I am afraid that even national security will not be guaranteed in the future!

    "No! Italy posed a great threat to the Allies and China in this war! We are very dissatisfied with your betrayal! Therefore, in order to avoid similar situations from happening again in the future, we must fundamentally lift the  This threat! Italy's armaments must be restricted!" Mario Weber, Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, immediately spoke out!  Italy is one of the most important enemies of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, just like a sharp knife pressed against the soft belly of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.  If this threat is not eliminated, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will not be able to concentrate its full strength on dealing with other enemies!

    "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, the number of 50,000 troops is too small and cannot threaten domestic stability! A turbulent Italy is very detrimental to European society and the entire world!" said Prime Minister Giovanni Giolitti.  !  After Italy's defeat, domestic conflicts began to intensify, and the people became increasingly dissatisfied with the royal family and the government. If there is not a strong force to suppress it, the Italian government's rule is very likely to be overthrown!  By then, even if the Italian government signs treaties with other countries, it will not be able to implement them!

    "If the Italian government cannot maintain social stability, then we in China can do it for us! We can station a force in Italy to help the Italian government maintain domestic stability!" said Marshal Jiang Xingguo, China's Minister of Defense!

    "Our Austro-Hungarian Empire can also help. As long as the Italian government is willing, the Austro-Hungarian Empire can maintain an elite force of more than 100,000 people deployed in Italy to ensure the rule of the Italian government!" Mario Weber, Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, also  Said quickly!

    "This" Italian Prime Minister Giovanni Giolitti looked a little ugly.  If the Chinese and Austro-Hungarian armies are allowed to be stationed in Italy, then Italy will truly be unsafe.  Moreover, with the ferocity of the Chinese, if a rebellion or the like breaks out in Italy, the Chinese will definitely kill them in a river of blood!  Therefore, the Italian government absolutely cannot agree to this request!

    "After the peace treaty is signed, the troops of various countries should withdraw from Italy. Otherwise, this is a trampling on Italy's sovereignty!" Italian Foreign Minister Gabriele said with an angry look!  No sovereign country will allow other countries to station a large number of troops on its own territory. This means that the country's security will not be guaranteed!  As a big country, Italy cannot tolerate such a thing!

    "I do think that stationing troops in Italy is very necessary! At least, it can ensure that the Italian government implements the treaty! Otherwise, once the Italian government refuses to implement the treaty, it will cause huge losses to all our countries!" China  Prime Minister Wu Tingfang said!

    "Yes, I completely agree with Prime Minister Wu Tingfang's point of view! Our troops in Italy can completely wait for the Italian government to fulfill the treaty before withdrawing from Italy!" said Mario Weber, Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire!  Stationing an army in Italy can best guarantee the interests of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It can not only ensure that Italy implements the treaty honestly, but also serve as an early warning. If anything goes wrong in Italy, Austria-Hungary will  The empire can react quickly!

    "No! Other countries cannot continue to station troops in Italy. This is unacceptable to the Italian government!" Prime Minister Giovanni Giolitti said firmly!  He knew that Italy could not give in at this time. Once it gave in, it would bring disaster to Italy!

    "Everyone, if we continue to argue, it won't make any difference! Let me see it this way! The Italian Army will remain at 50,000 people! However, Italy can form a police force to maintain domestic security! Specific details  The number of people will be analyzed later! What do you think?" Seeing that the negotiations were likely to reach a deadlock again, German Prime Minister Holweg quickly came out to smooth things over!

    "Okay, the Austro-Hungarian government accepts this condition!" Prime Minister Mario Weber thought for a moment, and then nodded!

    "China has only one request for this! The strength of the Italian Army is limited to 50,000! And the strength of the Italian police force cannot exceed 100,000! The total strength of 150,000 is enough to maintain social stability in Italy  ! If there are more, it will affect the surrounding countries.Posing a threat!  In addition, if the Italian government refuses to fulfill the treaty in any future year, it will be regarded as a declaration of war against China and the Allies. China and the Allies will immediately send troops to attack Italy until Italy fulfills the treaty and pays a higher price!  Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang said! If the Italian government agrees to such conditions, then the interests of all countries can be guaranteed!

    Prime Minister Giovanni Giolitti opened his mouth and wanted to continue to refute.  However, he saw the look that German Prime Minister Holweger gave him, and then nodded.  He also understood that if Italy refused again, then the negotiation would really break down this time!

    ¡°Italy is willing to accept this condition!¡± Italian Prime Minister Giovanni Giolitti said.

    "Well, if that's the case, then there is no problem with the treaty with Italy! So, how will our three countries distribute these benefits next?" German Prime Minister Holweg said with a smile!

    "Is there no problem with Italy ceding Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Veneto to Austria-Hungary, and Sicily, Sardinia, and Taranto to China? Of course, Germany also wants to  Will Italy get a piece of territory?" Prime Minister Mario Weber asked!

    "Germany has no intention of acquiring Italian territory! We have no interest in overseas enclaves! However, the German government believes that part of the war reparations paid by the Kingdom of Italy should belong to Germany!" said Prime Minister Holweg.  !  Italy will pay a total of 2 billion yuan in war reparations, which is a huge amount of money for any country!  The four billion yuan in war reparations paid by the United States has been monopolized by China. So, Germany will not let go of Italy's war reparations under any circumstances!  During these two years of war, the wealth accumulated by Germany was almost exhausted!

    "The Austro-Hungarian Empire spent a huge amount of national power and suffered huge casualties in this war! Therefore, we have to get 60% of the compensation. This cannot be changed!" Mario, Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire  Weber said firmly!

    "Germany also consumed a lot in this war! Therefore, Germany hopes to obtain 30% of the war reparations paid by the Italian government! Both the Austro-Hungarian Empire and China have obtained Italian territory, so you two  Can the country reduce its war reparations a little?" Prime Minister Holweg said!

    "China was the main force that defeated Italy in this war! Therefore, it is natural for China to receive 40% of the war reparations!" Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi said!

    Representatives of the three parties began to argue over the war reparations paid by Italy!  All countries believed that they paid a huge price in the war to defeat Italy and deserved a fair share of war reparations, and they were not willing to give in!  After all, war reparations involving 2 billion Chinese dollars, even if reduced by 1%, would still be 20 million Chinese dollars!  With the collapse of the United Kingdom, the pound has lost its role as an international currency. Instead, China's Huayuan has become the internationally accepted currency because of the country's strength and strength.  However, Germany also believes that the Deutsche Mark should receive the same status.  However, most countries in the world regard the Chinese dollar as their most important foreign exchange reserves!

    After a fierce quarrel, China, Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire reluctantly reached an agreement!  Of the two billion war reparations paid by the Italian government, Austria-Hungary received 50%, China received 35%, and Germany received 15%!  In addition, the few remaining old battleships and some light cruisers and destroyers in the Italian Navy are all owned by the Austro-Hungarian Empire!  Both China and Germany look down upon the old warships of the Italian Navy.  But for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which had a weak navy, no matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat!

    That afternoon, China, Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire signed a peace treaty with Italian representatives!  The treaty stipulates that Italy unconditionally declares defeat and assumes all responsibility for this war!  Italy ceded Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Veneto to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Sicily, Sardinia and Taranto to China, and at the same time compensated China and the Allies for the war totaling two billion dollars.  indemnity!  The first installment of these war reparations will be one billion Chinese dollars, and the remaining one billion Chinese dollars will be paid within ten years.  In addition, the Kingdom of Italy will limit its armaments. The army will only retain 50,000 people. It is not allowed to possess heavy equipment, and it is not allowed to establish a navy or air force!  (To be continued.
