My Italian

Carlo, who had just returned to Rome from Marino, had not had time to rest when he received news that Prime Minister Depretis was visiting.

"I would like to ask your Excellency the Prime Minister."

Although Carlo doesn't know what the Prime Minister's visit is about, he still believes that there must be some reason for the Prime Minister to come to see him in his busy schedule.

Sure enough, as soon as Prime Minister Depretis saw Carlo, he opened his mouth worriedly and said a surprising news.

"Your Majesty, do you know the Three Emperors Alliance?"

"certainly."

How could Carlo not know about the Three Emperors Alliance, a diplomatic alliance that affects the European continent.

In September 1872, Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I and Prime Minister Count Andrássy Gula, Russian Emperor Alexander II and Prime Minister A.M. Gorchakov visited Berlin, and German Emperor Wilhelm I and Prime Minister Bismarck The alliance signed by the meeting is too famous. This alliance was initially decided by the three countries to maintain the status quo in Europe and coordinately resolve disputes in Southeast Europe (mainly the disputes between Austria and Russia in the Balkans). The treaty stipulated a period of five years, but after it expired, there was no further news.

Could it be that it's out of state again?

Carlo was right, something happened again.

The Prime Minister continued to speak. "We heard news that the three countries may have signed an alliance treaty again."

This news surprised Carlo. Although the Three Emperors Alliance did renew the contract in history, Carlo didn't know when it was signed. How could it be so unfortunate that it was signed at this time?

Yes, the signing of the Three Emperors Alliance has a great impact on Italy. First of all, Austria has lifted or temporarily lifted the conflict with Russia, and can focus its energy in one direction. Although the Austrians are currently focusing on the Balkans, this is still a problem for Italy. Not good news. Because Italy wants to get involved, it becomes more difficult.

Of course, this news has both negative and positive sides for Italy. First of all, the eyes of the French will not be on Italy, because as long as a normal person knows that the Three Emperors Alliance is very unfavorable to France, the alliance of the three major powers in the central and eastern parts of Europe is also shocking.

Although I don't know if the alliance content is aimed at France, this feeling of being isolated is very bad.

Thinking of this, Carlo had an idea. "So what does the Prime Minister mean?"

Although Carlo only spoke half of what he said, he immediately guessed what Depretis was thinking.

"That won't work. If it is discovered that it was disclosed by my country, then the relationship with the three countries will be very difficult."

In fact, De Pretis mainly wanted to talk about Germany, because this alliance is most beneficial to Germany. Italy has always wanted to form an alliance with Germany, but the Germans don't pay attention to Italy, which makes Italy's idea of ​​unrequited love.

As for the other two countries, it is well known that Italy and Austria do not deal with each other. As for Russia, if the distance is too far and the two have little contact, it will be offended if you offend. Could he still cross Austria to attack Italy. Even if it does come, the first to jump will be Britain and France.

You must know that in order to prevent it from entering the Mediterranean Sea, Britain and France did not hesitate to fight against it, and they all rushed to Italy, so what are you waiting for? So Italy doesn't need to care too much about Russia.

In order to prevent Carlo from continuing to think wildly, Prime Minister Depretis directly stated his intentions. "Your Majesty, I am here this time mainly to let Your Majesty visit Berlin."

That's right, that's what Depretis came for.

And after Carlo heard the Prime Minister's words, he made sure to ask a general question. "Visit Berlin?"

"That's right, Your Majesty."

What is the purpose of visiting Berlin?

The Prime Minister's words gave Carlo a question mark on his face.

Seeing the somewhat bewildered king, Depretis opened his mouth to explain. "There is no need to rush this visit to Berlin. In terms of time, I plan to leave again next year."

Carlo quite understands what DePretis said. In later generations, preparations for state leaders' visits to foreign countries are basically made three months or half a year in advance, which is still in the case of convenient transportation. In this era, the decision to visit foreign countries in the second half of the year is basically more than half a year. Therefore, Carlo, who has never visited the outside world, is unfamiliar with it.

Even so, Carlo still couldn't understand the purpose of his visit to Germany. Since he didn't understand, he had to ask patiently, so he asked directly. "Prime Minister, why did you suddenly decide to visit Germany?"

"Suddenly?"

"suddenly!"

Looking at the curious young king, Depretis decided to give some hints. "Your Majesty, visiting Germany has a great connection with the possible Three Emperors Alliance. As for the connection, it is up to Your Majesty to understand."

The Prime Minister's words made Carlo fall into contemplation. What is the relationship between the two?

Looking at the brooding young king, Depretis quietly exited the room. Just as he came, without taking away a cloud.

So in a huge room, only Carlo was thinking quietly.

The hands of the clock are spinning round and round, and the light has begun to dim. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com The boy who was sitting still like a wooden sculpture suddenly moved.

"Hahaha, I thought about it."

Unbridled laughter sounded in the room, and the boy was full of joy as if he had obtained some treasure.

"Hey, I actually sat for so long."

Only then did Carlo notice the change in the sky, and only then did he mutter to himself. "I didn't expect Wander to be so useful."

That's right, for the visit to Germany proposed by DePretis, Carlo has already guessed it closely.

If I guessed correctly, the newspapers will be reporting heavily on the visit to Germany by myself and the Prime Minister. And it will attract the attention of France. If France knows the news of the Three Emperors' re-alliance, it will definitely find a way to improve the relationship between the two countries.

Of course, if you don't know, then Italy is not at a loss, and it is not bad to have closer relations with Germany.

Of course, in any case, the French will pay close attention to this.

But as far as he knows, the French have a pretty good relationship with Russia, so he might learn something from it.

If this is the case, it will be wonderful. France will definitely win over Russia and try to change its diplomatic disadvantage.

Of course, for Italy, this is not a loss at all. If Russia and France are flirting with each other, then Italy also has the opportunity to get involved in the Three Emperors Alliance.

Carlo's analysis is a combination of past life memory and current intelligence. Although he did not know when the Three Emperors Alliance was disbanded, it must not be too far away. Moreover, with the disputes between Russia and the Austrians in the Balkans, Germany could not suppress it for long.

Carlo couldn't help being excited when he thought that Italy had the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Of course, this requires patience, and Carlo intends to tease the little maid to vent his joy.
