My Italian

Chapter 421: Munich talks (middle)

The hustle and bustle of the party has disappeared after a night of precipitation, and a new day is coming. The three monarchs (prince princes) are also reunited, but there are more important things to talk about.

"Everyone, we are gathered here. In addition to sharing our friendship, I also want to talk about the cooperation between our three countries."

As the host, William II has always made an opening statement.

Before William could continue, Carlo agreed. "That's right, William. Our three countries occupy a vast area of ​​central and southern Europe. As long as our three countries are united, they can make a louder voice in the world. All countries must listen to our opinions carefully. Therefore, we can completely In terms of diplomacy and people's livelihood, reach a cooperation that satisfies all three parties."

Hearing what Carlo agreed with very much, William looked at him and said. "Carol, do you have any good advice?"

"Yes, I have a little opinion."

Carlo waved his hand to the attendants waiting on the side. "Bring me a map of Europe."

After the attendant brought the map over, Carlo pointed to the spread map and said. "For the alliance of our three countries, I believe that both of us can feel the benefits. Both our country and the west of Germany border France. We, Germany and Italy, can put pressure on France on both land and sea, and France must also consider us. The navy and army of the two countries will have great pressure on their national defense, which will help these Gauls who may be hot-headed to be sober.

To the east of your two countries is the polar bear Russia. Although Russia has calmed down these years, this bear is very restless, especially after the French bank helped it sort out its finances, this bear has a new interest in the two of you. threaten. As for the threatening Russia, we cannot relax our vigilance, so it is very important to fight the enemy together. "

Speaking of this, Carlo looked at Ferdinand for justice. "Ferdinand, we in Italy don't have much interest in the Balkans anymore. Apart from ensuring our territory in the Balkans, we can't take care of other things. So in the Balkans, we should be collaborators, not competitors."

Facing Carlo's sudden move, Archduke Ferdinand was a bit wrong and caught off guard. "Carol, is there some misunderstanding?"

"Nothing, I just reiterate my country's position on the Balkans. Believe it or not, our country has no time or energy to pay attention to the Balkans. The problems in the Far East are already a headache for our country. We don't want to disperse our limited energy. What will this lead to? Can't do it."

Carlo's words made Ferdinand not know how to answer, so he had no choice but to speak. "Carlo, our country does not regard your country as a competitor."

"Well, even if this matter is over, Carlo's words are probably caused by many troubles recently."

The Kaiser, who came out to smooth things over, comforted Carlo.

"Thanks, I'm much better now."

Replying to William II is a tacit consent to the other party's statement. "As I said just now, our three countries are highly complementary in diplomacy. Of course, in addition to diplomacy, in fact, in military affairs, people's livelihood, intelligence and other aspects, they are also very complementary."

Having said that, Carlo gave an example. "As far as the navies of our three countries are concerned, in terms of artillery technology, the two Krupp and Skoda are world-renowned artillery factories, but there is a gap in this respect in our country. In terms of ship power research, my country's That's where it's pretty good. Of course there's a lot of cases where each of these countries has some advantages."

Speaking of this, Carlotu saw it poorly. "Now with the development of the times, weapon research and development is becoming more and more expensive, so I think it is no longer possible to concentrate on research and development alone. I think that only by joining forces can we be strong. Everyone comes up with their own technology. Let's progress."

Facing Carlo's words, Kaiser Wilhelm's eyes lit up. What he said was so right. For Germany, which was about to build a large-scale warship, such a combination of technologies was really too appetizing to him.

"Carlo is right, we really need unity."

However, although William II praised the plan, some people still have doubts. "However, this kind of joint research also has a problem, that is, what to do if there are differences in research directions, and how to allocate resources if the research focuses are different, and how to share the investment funds among countries."

It was Archduke Ferdinand who said this, and it was obvious that he also saw the difficulty in this regard. Because it involves the amount of money, or their own needs.

"I also know the issues that Archduke Ferdinand is considering. Before this, our country and Germany conducted a pilot project, and it feels good, so I will share it."

Carlo then informed him of the joint research and development of technologies that both Germany and Italy could reach an agreement on. The results are shared and the funds are shared equally.

"Well, then my problem is gone."

Although Crown Prince Ferdinand is fine, Carlo still has problems. "As for the benefits of joint research, I believe everyone can see it. Here I have a point of view, that is, it is best to talk about differences first, and talk more. If there is really no agreement, then decide to separate research and development."

Carlo's words were alluding, and it was true that he was talking about you, Serena Williams.

Originally, this joint research was considered to be very beneficial to everyone. It was fine at first, but something went wrong after a while. In the past year, there have been a lot of differences between the two parties. These differences are related to the technical research that the German side has the first-mover advantage, which makes the Italian side a little tired~lightnovelpub.net~ And Carlo’s words made Germany Huang's face is a bit unnatural, it is obvious that this person is definitely an insider.

"There may be some misunderstanding in this. You also know that in terms of technology research, most of our companies are doing it."

Facing William's feeble excuse, Carlo shook his head. "It's simple. If there are several disagreements, then kick it out and replace it with another one. If the joint research cannot be combined, then it will go its own way. This will affect the relationship between the alliances and is very detrimental to unity."

Well, what Carlo said is clear enough, if you hug someone who comes in to take advantage, just kick him out. This kind of enterprise that does not consider the overall situation, let it go, this kind of visionless idiot is better off going bankrupt.

And Carlo's rare heavy words made William think more. "This issue really needs attention. I assure you, our country will try to avoid this situation, and it will not be higher than the initial number."

Well, this promise is very sincere, it depends on who becomes the chicken in the hands of William II.
