BXBX NOVEL Chapter 660: Question the Emperor (ask for a monthly ticket)
"That\'s right, Your Highness. If that\'s the case, then it\'s understandable. After all, France can linger on after agreeing to the terms of the Germans. If Germany declines one day, they still have a day to recover their land. But if they are If the Germans perish, the consequences will be even more serious," said Baron Leopold von Berchdold, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
"However, the damned Germans actually signed a peace treaty with the French behind our backs. Among the benefits handed over by the French, there should be a share of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. But now, the Germans are all alone Yes! They are too greedy and shameless. The original covenant stipulated that no country can make peace with the enemy alone. Now, the Germans have broken their promise!" Crown Prince Karl said through gritted teeth.
After learning that Germany had actually obtained so many benefits from France, he suddenly became unbalanced. Although, the Austro-Hungarian Empire did not exert any strength in the battle against France. However, Crown Prince Karl still stubbornly believed that among those spoils of war, there should be a share of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Germany\'s separate peace talks with France apart from the Austro-Hungarian Empire is a betrayal of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Baron Berchdold was a little worried when he heard what Crown Prince Karl said. If you follow Crown Prince Karl\'s point of view, this will definitely greatly affect the relationship between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Germany. Now Germany is too powerful. Even if the Austro-Hungarian Empire was twice as powerful, it is estimated that it would not be Germany\'s opponent.
Of course, Germany was a bit ugly in its negotiations with the Allied Powers. But who made the Austro-Hungarian Empire too weak to fight back against Germany\'s suppression?
"Your Highness, Your Majesty has told you not to offend the Germans, but to repair the relationship with the Germans as much as possible. That way, it will be in the best interest of the empire." Baron Berchdold reminded.
"I know! What to do, I have my own measure. However, the interests of the empire cannot be damaged." Crown Prince Karl said stubbornly.
Baron Berchdold saw this, so he had no choice but to say nothing more.
After Crown Prince Karl went to rest, Baron Berchdold exchanged views with Ambassador Jügenbrugger on the matter.
"Your Excellency the Baron, I am worried that His Highness the Crown Prince will offend the Germans. I am in Berlin and have learned more about the situation. The German political and military circles now look down on the Empire, thinking that the Empire did not contribute much in the war. On the contrary, it has dragged down Germany. It is precisely because of this that Germans are increasingly despising the empire. If the empire wants to obtain more benefits in the negotiations, it may be very difficult." Jiugenbrugger said with some concern.
"I know. However, His Highness the Crown Prince is too paranoid. I hope he will be able to measure himself this time!" Baron Berchdold sighed. He also believes that Crown Prince Karl is not the most suitable candidate for the crown prince, but who caused the crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to have problems one after another, is there really no more suitable candidate?
The crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire seemed to be cursed, and had problems one after another. The first Crown Prince was the son of Franz Joseph I. As a result, he committed suicide. The later crown prince was the nephew of Franz Joseph I, who was assassinated again. The current crown prince is considered to be the grandnephew of Franz Joseph I. But character and ability, it seems that there is not enough to be the important task of the crown prince. However, now they have no extra time to re-select an heir. The health of Franz Joseph I is no longer allowed.
That night, German Emperor Qin Tian held a banquet in the palace to welcome the Austro-Hungarian delegation from afar. At the banquet, Qin Tian talked about the friendship between Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and hoped that the alliance between the two countries could be maintained forever.
The banquet can be described as a feast for the host and guests, and the communication between the two parties was very pleasant.
However, after three rounds of wine and five dishes, Crown Prince Karl proposed to visit the garden of the palace.
Crown Prince Karl\'s request made Qin Tian a little surprised, but he still agreed to his request with a smile. And, personally accompany.
Qin Tian has also dealt with Crown Prince Karl before, so he knows that this person has a paranoid personality. The so-called visit to the palace garden is just an excuse. In fact, there must be something to talk to him about.
Qin Tian also wants to know what Crown Prince Karl wants to do. Only after knowing the requirements of the other party can we come up with a solution.
"Your Majesty, congratulations on your country\'s victory in the war. Although the war is not over yet, I believe that there is no doubt about your country\'s final victory!" Crown Prince Karl said.
"Yes, I think so too. However, Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are allies, and both are countries established by the Germans. The victory of the German Empire is also the victory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire." Qin Tian said.
"It would be great if His Majesty could think this way. However, what the German Empire has done recently did not take into account the interests of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which made the Austro-Hungarian Empire very chilling." Crown Prince Karl continued.
"Your Highness, what happened?" Qin Tian began to play dumb.
"I heard that your country has completed the negotiations with France and signed a peace treaty. However, the original covenant stipulated that no country should negotiate peace with the enemy alone." Crown Prince Karl stared closely at Qin Tian.
Qin Tian smiled, and then said: "Yes, there is such a stipulation in the alliance treaty. However, although the Austro-Hungarian Empire declared war on France, it did not send troops to attack France. So, France is nothing more than you nominal enemy."
