"Damn Italy people, why did we choose them to be our allies in the first place?" Wilhelm II was furious in his office. Although he had decided to temporarily compromise with Allied Powers, Wilhelm II was still very unwilling to do so.

If Kingdom of Italy can stand up and express full support for the German Empire, perhaps Germany can continue to be tough. Maybe the situation will change.

Wilhelm II You don't need to think about it to know how big an impact Germany's compromise will have on the country this time. Even his prestige will be greatly affected by this. This made Wilhelm II very angry.

"Father Emperor, Italy people are always two-faced and always considering their own interests. It is simply impossible to get them to support us unconditionally. Let alone Once the war starts, it will also affect their own destiny. It is understandable that they will hesitate to move forward. "Oscar is very open-minded and is not angry because of the performance of Italy. Of course, this is because Oscar already knew this would be the result. He has always been on guard against the Italy people, so that even without the help of the Italy people, Germany can still win in the future war.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness are right. The Italy people have never thought about fulfilling their obligations as allies. Therefore, if a war breaks out in the future, we cannot have too much hope for the Italy people." Prime Minister Bernhardt von Bülow sighed.

"Your Majesty, although we compromised on the issue of Morocco, we can make up for it in other ways. In this way, it can be regarded as an explanation for the people in the country." Feng Kidron Wachth said.

Wilhelm II nodded, feeling a little better.

"Everyone, no matter what, this incident is a shame for the German Empire. We must remember this shame. In the future, we must defeat them and wash away this shame!" Wilhelm II looked fierce.

Wilhelm II hates Italy people for being ineffective and duplicitous at critical moments. But what he hates most is still Britain and France. In order to curb the rise of the German Empire, Britain and France has put a lot of effort into provoking German Empire again and again, causing German Empire to not only lose face, but also lose a lot of profits. This is naturally unacceptable to Wilhelm II.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" everyone replied.

They all know that there is only one way for the German Empire to rise. That is to defeat Britain and France through war in the future, dominate Europe, and then dominate the entire world. And for their own interests and to maintain the old world colonial system. Britain and French will, of course, spare no effort to contain German Empire. This is almost an irreconcilable contradiction. Therefore, there is no other option except going to war. In order to win, both sides did everything they could.

Second Moroccan Crisis, with the initiative of Germany giving in, the peace ended. The two parties are signing "Treaty of Fez", and Morocco has officially become France's Protectorate. Of course, France gave up part of French Congo as a price. It can be regarded as leaving a little face to Germany. Otherwise, Germany will lose face this time.

Even so, all social strata in Germany are also quite dissatisfied with this Germany compromise. Many elites even pointed out that Germany cannot just compromise and give in. In that case, Germany will lose more profits. Only a battle can ensure the interests of Germany as much as possible.

However, war is not a child's play and cannot be decided in one or two sentences. Once a war breaks out, there is no way out. If you win, that's great. Germany will soar to the sky and become the world's hegemon. But if defeated, the consequences would be equally disastrous. Therefore, no one dares to take this risk. No one wants to start a war before they are fully prepared.

This is not only true for Germany, but also for all member states of Allied Powers. Therefore, the international situation seems to be very tense. However, it seems that the war will not start at all for a while. Of course, it is not ruled out that emergencies may break out and lead to war.

Kingdom of Italy, Rome, in the palace. König Vittorio Emanuele III is talking to Prime Minister Giovanni Giolitti.

"Prime Minister, we rejected the request of the Germany people and did not show support for them. This may make the Germany people resentful. After all, we are allies with the Germany people. I am afraid it is not appropriate to offend them like this!" Vittorio Emanuele III was worried.

"His Majesty the King did not express support for Germany because of the interests of Kingdom of Italy. If a war breaks out between Germany and France because of the Morocco issue, the consequences will be very serious. Allied Powers and Allied Powers will go to war because of this. If we want to fulfill our covenant, we will also be involved in the war. This will be very detrimental to Kingdom of Italy." Giovanni Giolitti Prime Minister said.

Vittorio Emanuele III nodded. Like many Italy officials, he was not optimistic about Germany people. After all, the three powers of Britain, France, and Russia is not a vegetarian. Especially the Britain people, who have been the world hegemons for hundreds of years, did not do so for nothing. There are so many countries that have wanted to challenge British Empire, but they all ended in failure.

If Kingdom of Italy follows Germany to challenge Britain, it's okay if he wins, because they will get a lot of benefits. But if it fails, the consequences will be very serious.

"Prime Minister, if war breaks out, will the Germany people win?" Vittorio Emanuele III asked.

"Your Majesty, it's very difficult to say. Although the Germany people's military power is constantly developing. However, judging from the current situation, they are undoubtedly at a disadvantage." Giovanni Giolitti Prime Minister said.

Vittorio Emanuele III nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty, with this Morocco issue attracting the attention of Europe powers, our long-prepared plan can be implemented!" Giovanni Giolitti said.

Vittorio Emanuele III's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Now that you are ready, let's proceed! Recreating the glory of the great Roman Empire period will start from now on!" Vittorio Emanuele III said excitedly.
