My Italy

Although Bismarck's resignation caused a sensation, it still could not stop the peace talks in London from proceeding. Although Bismarck has a huge reputation in the world, all countries are realistic. In addition to the private sector, governments of all countries have set their sights on the new German Prime Minister. Of course, the London peace talks, which are related to the situation in the Balkans, are also focused on.

As one of the famous palaces in London, Kensington Palace was also where Queen Victoria originally lived. However, the Queen no longer lives here and has moved to Buckingham Palace.

In this peace negotiation, the United Kingdom offered Kensington Palace as the venue for the negotiations, which also shows the sincerity of the British.

As representatives from various countries arrived in London one after another, negotiations were finally about to begin.

But before starting, the victorious countries represented by Italy have a problem that needs to be solved, and that is how each country divides the results of the war.

Yes, it is necessary to divide the results of the war.

This extra step was caused by the sudden emergence of Serbia and Greece into the war.

There is no need to talk about this issue at this time. The main thing is to coordinate the requirements of various countries before negotiating with the Ottoman delegation. After all, the conditions of various countries are very likely to overlap. If they are not discussed in advance, it will not be allowed to the Ottoman delegation. Are you kidding me?

So before the formal peace talks, a negotiation excluding the Ottoman Empire began first.

Located in the conference room of Kensington Palace, delegations from various countries are sitting together. Due to the large number of countries, only the chief and deputy heads of delegations can sit at the table. No one else can enter except for a secretary each to take notes. The conference room. Sitting beside the conference room were envoys from various powers, who were responsible for listening and witnessing the entire peace talks process.

After announcing the start of negotiations, Bacona, the Italian Foreign Minister, spoke out about Italy's demands.

"Our country's request is that the Ottoman Empire must annex the Libyan region of North Africa and the entire Albania region. In addition, Crete must be independent, and our country needs to supervise the Southern Twelve Islands represented by Rhodes Island."

The conditions put forward by all parties in this war are also in order. As the largest contributor to this war and the strongest party, Italy ranks first, and no one dares to express dissatisfaction. However, although no one was dissatisfied with Italy's ranking, there was immediate opposition to Bacona's words.

"Our country firmly opposes your request for the independence of Crete, because this has always been Greek territory."

It was the Foreign Minister of the Greek delegation, Mavros, who spoke out against this. The middle-aged man sitting diagonally across the long table said in an extremely angry tone. "As we all know, the local residents of Crete are all Greeks, so what is Italy's intention in making it independent?"

What Mavros said was justified, and what he said was a fact known to all countries. It's just that many things can't be obtained by showing facts and evidence. Bacona looked at the other party and said.

"So according to your opinion, Latin America should be under Spanish rule? Brazil should also be under Portugal?"

Faced with Bakona's pretentious words, Mavros was so angry that he trembled all over and blurted out. "You are just being ridiculous. Latin America has been independent for many years, and not all of them are descendants of Spain and Portugal. Their respective cultures and languages ​​are also different."

The words of the Greek Foreign Minister made Bacona smile. "Latin America has been independent for less than a hundred years, so the language and culture are different. So, how long has Crete been separated from your country, and why do you think Crete should belong to your country? And Crete We already have an autonomous government and have declared a declaration of independence. Why do you think so arrogantly that you want the Cretans to want to merge with you? Have you ever asked the locals for their opinions?”

Obviously, it is impossible for Italy to let Crete belong to Greece and directly remove the topic of Cretan autonomy.

Mavros spoke directly to the Italian Foreign Minister in front of him who refused to admit his guilt. "That autonomous government is just a puppet that you support and does not represent the local people of Crete at all."

Faced with accusations from the Greek foreign minister, others knew bad. Because in this case, such accusations require evidence. Sure enough, Bacona's face darkened, and he looked at the other party coldly.

"Since you say that we have manipulated the autonomous government of Crete, please provide evidence. If you cannot provide evidence, then our country has reason to suspect that your country is conducting diplomatic slander against our country, and the consequences will need to be expensive. The country is responsible for it.”

This sentence immediately made the conference room feel extremely quiet. At this time, representatives from other countries opened their eyes wide and looked at the reaction of the Greek delegation. Even the Serbian delegation, its ally, is unwilling to speak at this time, because it will offend the currently powerful Italians and be very detrimental to its subsequent negotiations.

As for the negotiators from other countries, they looked like they were watching a good show, and they wanted the Greeks to lose face.

As for Mavros, the client, he has been forced into a corner. No matter whether he can provide evidence or not, the other party has already elevated this to the level of country-to-country diplomacy, and his current evidence is simply insufficient. But then again, with sufficient evidence, can Greece take back Crete from Italy?

But at this time a voice helped him relieve his embarrassment.

"Minister of Foreign Affairs of Greece, this is just an unintentional mistake. There is no need for Your Excellency Bacona to get too hung up on this."

The person who spoke was the new British Foreign Secretary Sir Wilson, who directly said that this was an unintentional remark made by the Greek Foreign Minister. The bystander was not supposed to come forward, but the Greek was so useless that he had to be made to speak. Facing the attitude of the British, Italy must give enough face.

"Since it was an unintentional mistake, Mr. Mavros had better think carefully next time."

Dropping this sentence also means letting this matter go.

After beating the first-placed Greeks, no one objected to Italy's submission. Since no one objects, this also means that all countries acquiesce to Italy's conditions.

Next it was the Bulgarians' turn. Because in this war, Bulgaria's contribution was second only to Italy, so they must be the second to propose conditions. Of course, Italy also contributed a lot.

Bulgarian Foreign Minister Popkov stood up and spoke slowly. "Our demand is simple. The Ottoman Empire must hand over Macedonia to our country as compensation."
