BXBX NOVEL Chapter 310: italian choice
The faces of von Kidren Wachter and Baron Leopold von Berchdor suddenly became very ugly. Although, before that, they also expected that in the face of the oppression of Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Kingdom of Italy might make such a choice. However, they did not expect that they would actually dare to do this in such a short period of time.
"Damn it, the Italians are crazy. They dare to reject the request of the empire. Could it be that they really want to be enemies of the empire?" Von Kidren Waschter thought angrily.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, is this the final decision of the Kingdom of Italy? For the sake of our allies for so many years, I advise your country to think about it carefully. Once such a decision is made, your country should know what it means. "Von Kidren Wachter said with a cold face.
"Of course, of course we know what this means. However, your two countries are pressing against the Kingdom of Italy, and there is nothing we can do about it." Antonio Salandra looked innocent, just like the Kingdom of Italy The reason for making such a choice is that the culprit is exactly the same as Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
"Well, since the Kingdom of Italy has already made its own choice. Then, it is useless for us to say more. I hope that the Kingdom of Italy will not regret today\'s choice in the future!" Von Kidren Wachter His eyes were cold. He knew that after today, this former ally would become their enemy and the target they wanted to defeat.
"Hmph! The Kingdom of Italy will definitely pay the price for today\'s choice." Baron Leopold von Berchidor looked angry. The betrayal of the Kingdom of Italy undoubtedly posed the most direct threat to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This also forced the Austro-Hungarian Empire to deploy its military forces on the southern front. Otherwise, once the Kingdom of Italy launches an attack, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will be in a dangerous situation of being attacked from both sides.
"The Kingdom of Italy will never regret it. Because we will be victors!" Antonio Salandra looked confident, as if they really had the chance to win.
The meeting broke up this time. Von Kidren Wascht and Baron Leopold von Berchdor did not waste any more time in Rome. They had to rush back to the country immediately and convey the news that the Kingdom of Italy planned to betray the Allies to the country. The report also allows the country to prepare early so as not to be caught off guard.
However, when von Kidren Wascht and Baron Leopold von Berchdor had just sent the news back to the country through secret channels, the Kingdom of Italy was already in Rome, and it was formally united with Britain and France. countries signed the treaty.
The treaty stipulated that the Kingdom of Italy abolished the "Triple Alliance Treaty" and joined the war on the side of the Allied Powers. Within a month of the signing of the treaty, the Kingdom of Italy declared war on Germany and Austria-Hungary, and sent the main force of its army to attack Austria-Hungary. Britain and France will also provide weapons and equipment and interest-free loans to the Kingdom of Italy within the city. Moreover, in the treaty, there are also clear provisions on the benefits that the Kingdom of Italy deserves after the war.
The Kingdom of Italy betrayed its promise, betrayed the treaty, and joined the Allied Powers to fight. This undoubtedly caused an uproar for the whole world. Originally, in this war, because of Germany\'s good performance, the Allies seemed to have an advantage in this war. However, the betrayal of the Kingdom of Italy will wipe out the advantages of the Allies, and even put them at a disadvantage. Such a sudden change undoubtedly made the outcome of this war even more confusing.
Of course, Britain, France and Russia were all greatly relieved. Germany\'s performance was so vigorous that they all worried whether they could defeat Germany in this battle. But now with the support of the Kingdom of Italy, their chances of winning have undoubtedly increased by several points.
As for Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, of course they were furious about this.
Kaiser Wilhelm II was in the office, cursing the Kingdom of Italy as a despicable and shameless villain. You know, Germany, Austria and Italy have been in an alliance for many years. Now, for their own benefit, they blatantly betrayed the German Empire. This kind of villainous behavior made William II very angry.
"Everyone, the Italians have betrayed us, signed a treaty with Britain and France, and will join the Allies to fight. This is undoubtedly very bad news for us. How should we respond to this?" William II asked. He was very worried that the Allies now had an advantage in the war. But after the Italians turned against the water, this made their advantage have been lost, and they were even at a disadvantage. William II didn\'t want to be a loser in this war. Once the German Empire lost the war, it would really be a complete defeat.
"Your Majesty, the Austro-Hungarian Empire must mobilize its troops in advance and deploy its troops in the south to guard against Italian attacks. If the Italians cross the Alps and invade the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the consequences will be very serious." Von Falken Hein said.
William II nodded: "But in this case, the strength of the Austro-Hungarian Empire on the Eastern Front will inevitably be weakened. It seems that we have to hurry up to help the Austro-Hungarian Empire and defeat Russia."
"Oscar, what do you think about this?" Kaiser Wilhelm II asked.
"Father, I don\'t think there is anything to worry about. Because the fighting power of the Italians is really terrible. Their joining the Allied Powers will not bring any benefits to the Allied Powers, but will become a drag on the Allied Powers. If the Kingdom of Italy joins the Allied Powers to fight, we may need to use 80 divisions to protect them. But if Italy joins the Allied Powers to fight, we only need to use 40 divisions to completely defeat them!" Qin Tianyi face with a confident smile.
Wilhelm II and the senior military and political officials of the German Empire were taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing. Although they might feel that what Qin Tian said was exaggerated, they were much less worried about the Kingdom of Italy.
