My Italy

Unexpectedly, facing Bismarck's lion, Carlo didn't hesitate at all and agreed immediately. But if you want to eat Carlo's food, you can't do it without paying the price. Carlo then reported several technologies that needed to be exchanged, which made Bismarck speechless.

"We only need to participate in your country's tungsten alloy tool experiments and be able to share technology. In addition, our country can join in Krupp's armor steel research and development, and your country's dye technology. Our country can hand over the alternating current technology."

The technologies Carlo spoke about are all technologies that Germany is proud of. The tungsten alloy cutting tools under development are the incubators of German precision machines, and Krupp's steel technology is also very good. As for dye technology, this is Germany’s flagship product exported, and its derived chemical technology has kept Germany at the forefront of the chemical industry.

Bismarck's face became ugly as he listened to the techniques Carlo mentioned. It is obvious that Bismarck cannot come up with these technologies, which are related to the jobs of millions of German people in these industries.

"I'm sorry, we can't provide these technologies because they are the wealth of private companies, and we can't do anything to take away other people's wealth."

Facing the iron-blooded prime minister's words, Carlo smiled slightly. "Our country's alternating current technology is also the wealth of Westinghouse Electric Company, and our country cannot do anything to seize other people's wealth. So I think it is better to start cooperation with military technology first."

Now Prime Minister Bismarck could no longer talk about alternating current technology, but could only turn back to the military technology Carlo talked about. To be fair, Italy currently does not have much military technology at its disposal, and its warship technology is already considered its fist.

Of course, it should also be noted that, except for Prime Minister Bismarck and a few others, the other German representatives showed expressions of interest. This can also be said that the current desire for the sea in Germany has begun to arise. Even if Bismarck continued to be prime minister, he could not suppress the pursuit of overseas interests by all classes in the country.

In particular, the growing bourgeoisie has an abnormal desire for the market. At this time, Germany was a bit like the Chinese dynasty of later generations, but in this era, tariffs in various countries were relatively high, leaving a lack of a sufficient market for German products.

If Germany alone owns the Indian or Qing markets, then it is not urgent at all, but it is not impossible.

Then this requires the German government to find a market for it, and Bismarck, a politician who focuses on the local area and does not pay attention to overseas development, is destined not to be accommodated by the bourgeoisie.

This is why William II can arouse cheers from the people as long as he holds high the banner of overseas expansion. For example, Germany also needs land under the sun. If it is clear that it needs new markets, why shouldn't the bourgeoisie cheer?

"We can use artillery, rifles and other army weapons and equipment as well as communication and command technology in exchange."

When he said this, Bismarck had not yet reacted.

Carlo didn't give him a chance to react and immediately answered. "Okay, let's do it like this."

At this time, the deputy poked the Prime Minister with his finger and said softly. "Last time, the Italians came to purchase a batch of army equipment and technology. At present, Krupp's artillery technology is only the most advanced batch."

Confronted by his deputy's words, Bismarck knew he had been teased by the young Italian king. But it doesn’t matter. There is still a long way to go. He wants to see how the Italians amend Article 4.

"It's getting late, so let's continue talking tomorrow!"

Unexpectedly, Carlo took out the avoidance card of fighting another day and stopped taking the move.

This made Bismarck, who had been brewing some rhetoric, have no choice but to hold back his words.

"Okay, let's continue talking tomorrow. We hope King Carlo will continue to appear at the negotiating table."

After secretly mocking the other party, Bismarck took the German delegation and left. As for Kaiser Wilhelm, after quietly giving Carlo a thumbs up, he also left.

When the Italian delegation was left in the conference room, Carlo spoke to them.

"Okay, everyone is tired today, let's go back."

Carlo and his party immediately walked out of the Prime Minister's Office.

In the Prime Minister's Office, as Prime Minister Bismarck, he had calmed down at this time. Although he was slightly at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the young boy Carlo, he never expected that the young Italian king would end up in person without regard for his face, and was caught off guard.

But it doesn't matter, he has been hit by strong winds and waves, and he can still be hit by Italy's small tricks. It was not considered before, but now that it is considered, the subsequent negotiations will be different.

And he also saw that the Italians would definitely make changes to Article 4, but it would not be easy to do so. Because he has only one purpose in wooing Italy, that is, he needs Italians to keep an eye on southern France and must get rid of Italy's unrealistic illusions.

So he will not let go of the upcoming negotiations. I hope the Italians won’t cry too ugly when the time comes.

Prime Minister Bismarck was already high-spirited when thinking about tomorrow's negotiations. As for Carlo, they were still riding a carriage on their way back to the cave.

Looking out the window at the charming scenery of Berlin, Carlo suddenly said. "Next we need to change our strategy and activate our backup plan."

Thinking of today's war of words with Prime Minister Bismarck, Bacona felt ashamed of his performance, because the few highlights of this negotiation were basically reached by the king.

"Okay then, I will go to the embassy in person to send a coded message and immediately activate the backup plan."

"Be careful, don't let anyone know about this plan."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After the two had a brief conversation, Bacona immediately changed to another very ordinary carriage. When passing by a street intersection, he took the opportunity to blend into the army of carriages on the street.

As for Carlo, he led the delegation all the way back to the cave.

A new day, a new beginning.

So a new round of negotiations began again.

Baccona was still sitting opposite Bismarck, but this time members of the two delegations frequently looked at Carlo, who was sitting beside him. Such frequent gazes made even Kaiser Wilhelm next to him feel a little uncomfortable.

Faced with such attention, Carlo was as steady as a mountain with roots under his feet.

"Next, let's get on with the negotiations."

After speaking first, Bismarck continued. "As for the draft you proposed, we think it is very inappropriate and goes against the consensus between the two parties a few years ago. Therefore, our country is not willing to see the terms develop in an uncontrollable direction."

"Prime Minister Bismarck, this is not uncontrollable. This is just a way that our country hopes to strengthen the relationship between the two countries."

Facing Bismarck's words, as the Italian negotiator, Bacona certainly needed to fight hard.

However, his words did not impress Prime Minister Bismarck, who shook his head one after another.

Then Prime Minister Bismarck asked several questions one after another, and Bacona answered them one by one. Although it seems that the two sides are having a question and answer session, everyone can see that the Italian side has always been at a disadvantage and has no power to fight back after being suppressed by the German side.

But no matter how disadvantaged the Italian negotiating delegation was this time, Carlo remained motionless. Such a move made Bismarck couldn't help but cast a doubtful look.

But since Carlo does not leave, everyone can see that there is not much that Italy can hold on to in this negotiation. In the end, the negotiation result still adopted the original Article 4; when a major power that is not a signatory to this treaty threatens the national security of one of the contracting states and that contracting state is forced to go to war with it, the other contracting states are obliged to remain neutral towards the allies. Well reserves the right to enter the fray when appropriate.

Faced with such a result, the Italian side had no choice but to accept it. It's just that the victorious Prime Minister Bismarck didn't notice. When Carlo saw this situation, he slightly raised the corner of his mouth.

It doesn't matter, we have another one next.
