My Italy
Chapter 691 The Second Munich Conference (Part 2)
There were not only serious meetings but also joyful gatherings in Newfenburg. Although the war has affected the quality of life of people in various countries, it cannot affect the lives of monarchs in various countries, not to mention that at such a summit gathering, Germany, as the host, must do a good job even if it grits its teeth.
At this moment in the garden, six monarchs were sitting together, drinking wine and chatting. On the side not far away from them, several chefs were busy preparing food for several monarchs. Two guards were watching them, and the seasonings used had been inspected.
After all, the six monarchs here are key figures in the alliance camp, and if anything happens, it will lead to chaos in the camp.
"Last time I went hunting in the deep forest, I met a brown bear, a brown bear weighing more than 400 kilograms. It was 80 feet away from me at the time. I saw it, and it also saw me. I originally raised my shotgun, but I was worried. I thought this brown bear would be my biggest prey, but after seeing the two cubs behind it, I couldn’t kill a mother bear, it would make me feel guilty.”
Ludwig III deserves to be called the atmosphere team, and he is very good at activating the atmosphere at the scene.
"Your Excellency is so kind. A brown bear with cubs is indeed not suitable for hunting. We toast to the kind King of Bavaria."
Speaking, Crown Prince Carl, as the youngest person present, raised his glass. Others followed his words and also raised their glasses. He said to Ludwig III. "Revere kindness."
"Revere kindness."
When everyone put down their wine glasses, Mahmoud (also the future last Sultan Muhammad VI in history), who was the younger brother of the Ottoman Sultan and was visiting in place of the Sultan, spoke. "Mercy is a virtue, but our enemies never give up on stirring up strife."
Mahmoud, who was originally pro-British, still had disputes with the Big Three. When the British detained two Ottoman battleships without explanation, the Sultan's younger brother was angered and immediately changed his pro-British attributes and became pro-German.
One more thing to mention here is that the founder of Al-Shabaab, who was also the former Minister of War, Hamed Riza, passed away due to illness five years ago. In this life, Hamed Riza was also extremely prosperous. He became the first Ottoman, captured Sultan Mohammed V in his hands, and used Al-Shabaab to rule Osman.
If gold shines, so does the original Big Three. It didn’t take long to stand out. After the death of its founder, Hamed Riza, the three formed the Ottoman Triumvirate and continued the rule of Al-Shabaab. In addition, because Mohammed V, who was supported by Al-Shabaab, was relatively stupid and was afraid that he would mess up the meeting, his younger brother Mahmoud was asked to participate in his place.
And this Mahmoud was quite capable, and he took the opportunity to talk about the plight of his country during the casual conversation. "According to the intelligence we have received, Britain and Russia are inciting Persians to join the war in Tehran, the capital of Persia. Although we are not afraid of these Persians, their intention to try to make our country face more serious situations has never changed."
Faced with the words of the Ottoman Sultan's younger brother, no one here understood. Isn't this just trying to seek more benefits for Osman? At this time, the most suitable candidate to get rid of Mahmoud's unrealistic ideas is Carlo.
Carlo also understood at this time, and saw him speaking. "Let's do this. You don't need to hold back the Egyptian campaign. Our country will shoulder the entire battle."
Carlo's words stunned Mahmoud for a moment.
According to the battle plan for the Egyptian campaign, Italy was the main force, while Egypt was to contain the Palestinians. This was something the Ottomans wanted for life and death. Although Osman was the sick man of the Near East, he still had strategic vision. He knew that Egypt's most important asset was the importance of the Suez Canal, and he had to participate in it life and death.
Everyone knows the intentions of the Ottomans. They want to get involved in Egypt and seek some benefits. However, considering the Ottomans' status in the Middle East, it is okay to give them some benefits to help them enter the Middle East. Of course, the most important point is that the Ottomans cannot go too far and do not want more benefits.
Carlo's words were obviously a warning, warning the Ottomans to know when enough is enough.
"We can overcome this difficulty. As long as the Egyptian campaign is over, we will have enough troops to deal with various situations."
Mahmoud could only use words to smooth things over at this time and ended the temptation.
As for the Sultan's younger brother, everyone let it go for the time being. At this time, Kaiser Wilhelm II drove Carlo and said. "Why didn't Sissi (Princess Louise's nickname) come here? I miss her very much, and my grandson Umberto."
Although William II already has many grandchildren, he misses his favorite daughter very much. Although his daughter is already the Crown Princess of Italy, missing his daughter who is married far away is a common problem for every father.
You must know that even Crown Prince William once said extremely that his father has always been very majestic and only smiled when he faced Sissi.
One can imagine how favored this little Princess Louis was in front of William II.
Facing William's inquiry, Carlo, who was someone else's father-in-law, could only answer. "Sissi is pregnant and it is not appropriate to travel now."
"Why didn't she tell me?"
"I only checked this three days before departure. For this reason, my son temporarily canceled his trip back to the army and stayed with Sissi for an extra week."
"congratulations'."
At this time, several other monarchs heard this and immediately said congratulations.
The fact is that it is a very happy thing for the royal family to have a new child. Not to mention that this is the product of the combination of the two major powers in the alliance, which makes people feel even more important.
Then the atmosphere at the scene became joyful. If the monarchs present concealed their identities, they would actually be similar to ordinary people. The wise and wise warriors all have the experience accumulated after dealing with a large number of various problems. Of course, there are also some with extraordinary talents, but none of the people present are like this.
While several monarchs were chatting and gathering over the past three days to increase their feelings, the military and political meeting here was almost done.
First, on the government's side, after several rounds of friendly negotiations, Italy and the Ottomans supported the Bulgarians with 100,000 tons of grain (82 kilograms). In terms of military supplies such as weapons and ammunition, Germany and Austria-Hungary provide support. Of course, this is not without cost. Bulgaria promised to send 150,000 troops to help the Ottoman offensive in the Middle East after the Greek campaign.
This was also decided after some discussions. Bulgaria did not want to join in the hellish Western Front battlefield, and Bulgaria did not want to go to the Eastern Front for the Russians.
Originally, it wanted to send troops to assist Italy in guarding Tunisia. How could such a good thing happen? Italy refused on the spot. The only option given to him directly was to help the Ottoman offensive in Asia.
As for the Ottoman side, Germany supported its weapons and ammunition. The resources it provides are divided between Germany, Italy and Austria. On the Austro-Hungarian side, Germany also promised to maintain its current military strength and work with Austria-Hungary to deal with the Russians.
Of course, Germany did this under conditions. Italy must focus on France after the Egyptian campaign and use French troops, which cannot be less than one million.
As for the conditions for Italy's agreement, there are two aspects. First, the Allied camp must ensure that Italy will annex Crete after victory in the war. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that Sudan belongs to Italy. In addition, Italy must take the first place in Egypt's interests.
Second, Austria-Hungary will send its remaining navy to assist Italy in its maritime missions. In addition, Austria-Hungary must also ensure the full operation of the naval factory.
In addition, several parties have also adopted cooperation in intelligence, logistics, communications and other aspects. To this end, each country will send people to coordinate closely in Munich.
Thus, the second Munich Conference came to an end.
During the three-day meeting, the Alliance camp coordinated the resources of various countries, laying a solid foundation for the camp to better respond to the war with the Allies.
