During the peace talks during the second Moroccan crisis, French representatives expressed strong protest against Germany's excessive actions, and had reason to suspect that the Italian army's preparations were approved by the Germans, although there is currently no evidence from Paris.

There are too many powerful countries involved in Europe, and various trends require detailed analysis. Even if Sheffield gives a rough analysis of the situation, Anne will have to make adjustments at any time through her own understanding.

"Member Philip, I wonder if the British help will curb the ambitions of the Germans?" In the villa where she lives, Anne, wearing a long skirt, belatedly arrived to meet the congressman whom she met through her mother.

noodle.

"Our communication with the British emphasized the balance of power in the Mediterranean, and also talked about the Italians, who are also allies. They seem to be ready to take chestnuts from the fire for the Germans recently. The British take this situation very seriously, but due to the strength of the Italian navy,

The British are unwilling to completely offend the Italians, which is a very frustrating thing." Philip pondered for a moment, obviously dissatisfied with the tendency of the British to show aloofness at critical moments.

"The cunning British have always been like this. Many people have said that the relationship between France and Russia among the Allied Powers is the basis for maintaining the security of France." Anne sighed quietly, but did not tell the congressmen in front of her that among the so-called many people, the most

The one who doesn't believe the British is her husband.

"That's right, ma'am, the British just promised to negotiate with the Germans about the Moroccan issue. As for Italy's current movements, they probably can't be counted on." Congressman Philip was a little silent. Regarding the fact that he was in the same camp as the British,

It's a bit unbearable to have to endure the distance felt by the British.

The interests of many countries are in conflict with each other. For example, the British are mainly worried about the imbalance of power in Europe caused by Germany. The current purpose of the Russian Empire is relatively simple, which is to weaken the Ottoman Empire as much as possible. However, problems will arise after the weakening. Although the Germans

It has little interest in the Balkans, but the Austro-Hungarian Empire is keen on expanding the Balkans, especially the Hungarian part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Military alliances involving multiple countries are often unable to coordinate.

It is not only possible to talk to yourself but not do anything, it is also very common.

"Dear Congressman, I just feel that if the land that should be ruled by the French is swallowed up by a country like Italy, the humiliation it will bring seems to be greater than what happened in Morocco." Anne said lightly, "Why do the Italians have the right to do so?

?If we can do it without compromising the Germans, why compromise with the Italians?"

This is also the latest trend of public opinion in France. Many major newspapers have unanimously said that they should be wary of Italian military adventures.

After the fermentation of public opinion in recent months, along with the spread of Italian jokes, France, at least the citizens of Paris, have a condescending contempt for Italy. With this kind of heart, if the Moroccan crisis eventually evolves into, the Italians

Taking advantage of the exchange of interests between Germany and France, the military adventure successfully won the biggest piece of the cake, which will make many Paris citizens feel like they have been fooled.

"Mr. Congressman, suddenly joining the war, even in the face of Italy, may arouse criticism from some citizens. In fact, we can wait and see first. If Italy simply gets rid of the Ottoman army, maybe the government will recognize the Italians.

interests, but I think Italy is likely to fall into a quagmire. If the Ottoman enclave is captured, the Italians cannot solve the problem within half a year. What's wrong with us picking peaches?"

When Germany and France were exchanging interests over the Moroccan crisis, British Foreign Secretary Gray in London told the German ambassador: If the emperor was prepared to send troops to Morocco as advocated by domestic newspapers, it would be tantamount to starting a war with Britain and France at the same time.

The news was immediately transmitted back to Berlin and the German Royal Palace via radio. Bülow, who had resigned as Prime Minister, came here angrily and asked to be summoned. After finally waiting for Wilhelm II to come out, he couldn't help but said, "We did it in North Africa."

The earth-shattering noise attracted the attention of the whole world. Just because the French promised to give us the miasma-filled and dangerous tropical rain forests, we will accept the status quo? This is simply a ridiculous business!"

Although he is a former prime minister, the recent exchange of interests between France and Germany is no secret to Billot. France wants Germany to recognize France's status in Morocco and cede part of the territory in northern Cameroon to France; France wants the French Equator

The central and southern French Congo and adjacent areas under African jurisdiction were transferred to Germany as compensation.

In Bülow's view, the tropical rain forests in Central Africa have almost no value, and the livable conditions are far inferior to those in North Africa. For this reason, Bülow and some Prussian Junkers are firmly opposed to this.

"But the British have a tough attitude. Although the bastards of these island countries are so annoying, we must admit that the British navy is stronger than ours. When it comes to colonial issues, this is an advantage." William II listened calmly.

After the Prime Minister finished speaking, he did not have the irritable and arrogant image in the British newspapers at all, but analyzed the matter very calmly.

"Actually, this is also an opportunity. The fear that the Italians have always shown towards France in the alliance treaty is a real hidden danger of change. Your Majesty, I know that the French are intimidating the Italians not to take military risks, but judging from the current situation

, the Italians have long been unable to tolerate the Ottoman enclave, and they must be hoping to create a fait accompli while the French are confronting us. Why can't we take advantage of this in turn?"

Although he is no longer Prime Minister, Bülow did not hide his thoughts in front of William II. In his opinion, Germany should at least give Italy a non-obvious level of support so that the Italians can act boldly with confidence.

As for the public opinion within France, Bilot also understood through some channels that many French people have discovered the Italians' move to pick peaches. In this way, if he is still the prime minister, he can intensify the relationship between Italy and France.

In this way, Italy will be more at peace with the Allies, which will be beneficial to the entire German grand strategy.

You must know that the earliest reason why Italy joined the Triple Alliance was that Italy wanted to control Tunisia. Italy had serious conflicts in its colonial territories, but Italy had a reservation clause in the alliance treaty, and Italy attached a reservation condition: If

If Britain attacks Germany or Austria-Hungary, Italy will not be obligated to assist its allies.

This is a hidden danger in the alliance. Although this was not discovered by Bülow himself, people of this era would not have thought that there was such an operation as Italy's jump-back. Of course, they were senior German fan slave owners. Through friendly relations with German companies, they made

The former Prime Minister knew this.

After hearing Biro's words, William II fell into deep thought and asked, "But what the Italians want to capture is the enclave of the Ottoman Empire. The relationship between the Ottoman Empire and us is also very good. The relationship between the Ottoman Empire and Italy

War, if we show a very clear inclination, seems to damage relations between countries."

The German-Austrian Alliance was surrounded by the French-Russian Alliance, and fighting on two fronts has always been an issue that Germany must consider. The friendly relationship between the Ottoman Empire and Germany can reduce the pressure on the Eastern Front.

"No, Your Majesty. If the Ottoman Empire wants to get closer to the Allies, it also needs to ask the Russian Empire whether it will agree. In recent years, the Russian Empire has penetrated the Balkans very hard. Even if the enclave went to war with the Italians, facing the Russian Empire

Threat, the Ottoman Empire could not get close to the Allies."

William II was shaken, but this was an opportunity to find opportunities. It would not be a bad thing if Italy could be used to test the French's bottom line. If the two countries really started to fight, let alone whether Germany would participate in the war, at least it could be seen.

What is the level of the French army that makes Italy and France at odds with each other?

Under the contact of Madame Anne, who was a friend of many politicians, the idea of ​​​​waiting and waiting has become very popular in French politics. And the German side has appeared, hoping to use the Italians to try out the French idea.

All countries are considering their own interests. In this case, the appeals of the Ottoman ambassadors to European countries are destined to be in vain. Only the Black Gold Company did its best to help the Ottoman Empire transport soldiers. Before the Italians officially started the war, the Ottoman garrison had reached

With 30,000 soldiers, we are still short on weapons, but we are slightly stronger than at the beginning.

In the Ottoman capital, countless patriots shouted and defended the imperial territory from the prying eyes of Italians.

In the early morning, under the cover of naval gunfire, the Italian soldiers' attack began. After regular artillery preparations, Italy began a full-scale assault. There were no Ottoman soldiers in the position that seemed to be blown up by artillery fire.

Before the Italians prepared to launch a surprise attack, the Ottoman soldiers were already prepared to avoid the naval gunfire.

One thousand and five hundred Italian soldiers successfully occupied the port. The news was then sent back to Rome, and then quickly spread throughout Europe. In Sicily, countless workers were working at the docks, watching the soldiers who were ready to go embarking on the warships. Victory

The news has spread from across the sea, causing the whole of Italy to fall into an uproar.

The initial victory gave the Italians, who had never won a huge victory on the battlefield, the illusion that they could do it this time.

In just a few days, Black Gold Company transported 20,000 Ottoman soldiers from other parts of the Ottoman Empire, which reflected its professionalism in the field of international transportation. There are now nearly 30,000 Ottoman soldiers in the entire Libyan region in later generations.
