My Italy

The hustle and bustle of the party has disappeared after a night of precipitation, and a new day has arrived. The three monarchs (princes) also gathered together again, but they had already discussed more important things.

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

As the host, William II always made an opening remarks.

Before William could continue, Carlo said in agreement. "That's right, William. Our three countries occupy a vast area of ​​Central and Southern Europe. As long as our three countries unite as one, we can make a louder voice in the world. All countries must listen to our opinions carefully. Therefore, we can definitely improve our military, In terms of diplomacy and people’s livelihood, we have reached cooperation that satisfies all three parties.”

After hearing what Carlo agreed with, William looked at him and said. "Carlo, do you have any good opinions?"

"Yes, I have a little opinion."

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

After the attendant brought the map, Carlo pointed at the spread map. "For the alliance between our three countries, I believe both of us can feel the benefits. Our country and the west of Germany are both bordered by France. We, Germany and Italy, can put pressure on France on land and sea, and France must consider us at the same time. The defense pressure on the navies and armies of the two countries will be very high, which will help these Gauls, who may have feverish minds, to stay awake.

To the east of your two countries is the polar bear Russia. Although Russia has calmed down in recent years, this bear is very restless, especially after the Bank of France helped it sort out its finances. This bear has another interest in the two of you. threaten. As for the threatening Russia, we cannot relax our vigilance, so it is very important to jointly confront the enemy. "

Speaking of this, Carlo looked at Grand Justice Ferdinand. "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."

Faced with Carlo's sudden move, Archduke Ferdinand was a bit unprepared. "Carlo, is there any misunderstanding?"

"Nothing, I just reiterated our country's position in the Balkans. Whether you believe it or not, our country has no time or energy to pay attention to the Balkans. The problems in the Far East are enough to cause our country a headache. We don't want to distract our limited energy. What will happen if this happens? Nothing can be done.”

Carlo's words made Ferdinand not know how to answer, so he had to say. "Carlo, our country does not regard your country as a competitor."

"Well, even if this matter is over, Carlo said this probably because he has been troubled by many things recently."

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

"Thank you, I'm feeling much better."

Replying to William II is regarded as acquiescing 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, they are also highly complementary in other aspects such as military, people's livelihood, and intelligence."

Speaking of which, Carlo gave an example. "As far as the navies of our three countries are concerned, in terms of artillery technology, both Krupp and Skoda are world-renowned artillery factories, but our country has a gap in this aspect. In terms of ship power research, our country This aspect is relatively outstanding. Of course, there are countless cases where each of these countries has some advantages."

Speaking of this, Carlo Tu had a rough idea. "And 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 focus on research and development alone. I think only unity can make us strong. Everyone brings out their own technology, and only innovation can Let's make progress."

Facing Carlo's words, Kaiser Wilhelm's eyes flashed. This was so right. For Germany, which was about to build warships on a large scale, such a technological combination was really to his liking.

"Carlo is right, we really need to unite."

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

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

"I also know the issues that Archduke Ferdinand is considering. Before this, our country and Germany conducted a pilot project and it felt pretty good, so I would like to share it too."

Carlo then informed him of the joint research and development of technologies that both Germany and Italy could agree on. The results would be shared and the funds would be equally shared.

"That's it, then my problem is gone."

Although Crown Prince Ferdinand has no problem, Carlo still has problems. "I believe everyone can see the benefits of joint research. I have a point of view here, that is, it is best to talk about differences first, talk more, and then decide to separate research and development if we really can't reach an agreement."

Carlo's words were alluding to something, and yes, he was referring to you, Xiao Weiwei.

Originally, this joint research was 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 all related to technical research where Germany has a first-mover advantage, which makes the Italian side a little tired.

Carlo's words made the Kaiser's face look a little unnatural. It was obvious that this person was definitely an insider.

"There may be some misunderstanding in this. You also know that in terms of technological research, most of them are carried out by enterprises in our country."

Facing William's feeble defense, Carlo shook his head. "This is simple. If disagreements continue to occur several times, kick them out and bring in another one. If the joint research cannot be united, then it will be done independently. This will affect the relationship between alliances and is very detrimental to unity."

Well, Carlo's words are clear enough. If you come in and take advantage, just kick him out. This kind of company that doesn't think about the overall situation, let it go. It's better for this kind of fool with no vision to go bankrupt.

And Carlo's rare harsh words made William think even more. "This issue does need attention. I assure you that we will try our best to avoid this situation and the number will not be higher than the initial number."

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