As time flies, the first decade of the 20th century quickly became a dusty historical era. In this rapid passing time, many things happened that surprised or delighted Qingying.

In March 1911, Qingying's second child came to this world in the spring when grass was growing and beetles were flying. Nicholas II's tragic character of giving birth to four daughters did not appear on him. The little bean ding, who was dozens of times smaller than Qingying, officially announced the arrival of the eldest grandson of the Hohenzollern to the 65 million subjects of the empire. When he saw the expected organ of the baby in the cradle, William could not suppress his inner joy and bounced it back and forth in an extremely heavy taste, as if showing off his family's great achievements. However, the joy of joy was that the new crown prince obviously did not give his grandfather any face. A light yellow liquid sprayed out of the little bean ding without warning, spurting William, who was caught off guard.

A few months later, the situation in Europe showed an unexpected calm that Qing and Ying had. Faced with the wave of anti-Sultan and anti-French protests in the Moroccan region, the French did not send troops to the major cities in Morocco to conduct military control like in history, but chose a very low-key diplomatic mediation method. Regarding this situation, Qing and Ying understood after a brief surprise: because Russia in this plane suffered more serious losses in the Far East War, its army was

The combat power is not as good as that of the same period in history. When the Russian giants are relatively weak, the French, whose national strength is far inferior to that of Germany, obviously dare not face the German soldiers alone! Seeing the cautious shrinking appearance of French diplomats on the world stage, William couldn't help but strengthen his determination to start a war as soon as possible; if France and Russia recover, Germany must act according to the other party's eyes. How can he maintain this transcendent position in Europe?

At the end of 1911, Qingying went to Rome, the capital of Italy, and had a half-month negotiation and exchange with the most famous fence-skinned country in Europe. Although Qingying was unwilling to visit this country, since the Italian Royal Navy was the most critical force in determining the direction of the Mediterranean situation, turning to the Allies would cause unimaginable catastrophic consequences. Qingying could only force himself to suppress his strong contempt for the Italians' poor performance in the war, and to slander these guys with the most impeccable aristocratic etiquette.

At this time, Italy still adhered to the historical standard fence-branding nature: while they pleased each other between the Allies and the Allies, they also used their own position as a threat to constantly raise their interests. When facing the British, Italy greeted them with a smile from beginning to end, but their words implied that the British needed to export coal to them at a low price, and put pressure on France to give up their colonial occupation of Tunisia. In the days when welcoming the Qing Dynasty, there was no shortage of sumptuous Italian food and beautiful bed-warming girls; however, the Italian Prime Minister privately offered a new price to the Qing Dynasty, not only to expand their power to the Balkans, but also to incorporate Ottoman Libya into their colony!

Faced with the actions of the Italians, Qingying couldn't help but feel angry. The country's two-faced and three-killed goods are very resident, and its temperament is extremely attractive but has an unbearable and rotten teeth. It has far exceeded the scope that Qingying can tolerate. If he continues to compromise and entangle with this rogue gangster in this endless compromise, God knows what price they will pay in the end? The simple carrot temptation will only increase their greed in front of this group of extremely greedy Italians. They must use a big stick to make them feel fear from the heart, making them dare not be enemies with the German-led allies.

Under the secret suggestion of Qingying, the Ottoman Navy's dreadin, who had just been in service for half a year, sailed out of the Marmara Sea with four destroyers, headed to the Tripoli military port in North Africa under the control of the empire for "inspection" and conducted practical exercises on the high seas. The Turkish sailors who were trained by German officers for half a year had already achieved considerable tactical standards, and they were remarkable in both long-distance artillery fire shooting and long-term pursuit and follow-up. This situation was discovered by Italian spies in Libya. Then it was quickly sent to the desk of the Italian Navy Minister. Seeing that the Turks actually drove the dreadnought he bought from the Germans to the Tripoli base, the Italian military was shocked to discover that this European sick man who had been declining for more than a hundred years had a world-class imperial immortal soldier in his hands!

Although Italy also started construction of a dreadnought named Dante when it ordered the Ottoman Sea, its tonnage, firepower and speed were above it; however, due to Italy's relatively weak industrial base and the lazy nature of naval shipbuilders, the construction speed of this ship was much lower than that of other powerful powers. To this day, it will take a year for this dreadnought to be completed, and it is far from the reach of combat power. Faced with 8 305mm naval guns, the speed reached 21 knots.

All the Italian active ships will be vulnerable in front of it, and even escaping has become a luxury. Although the whole family of the Italian Navy will definitely be able to kill the Ottoman, the Turks can never face the Italian fleet, but use their speed and fire control advantages to play the tow tactics. In this way, the Ottoman Navy's dreadnought is almost unbeaten, while the Italian Navy faces the huge risk of the warship being sunk!

Just when the Red Star and Moon Flag was showing off its power in the central Mediterranean for the first time in decades, Austro-Hungary also began to hold a deterrent exercise against Italy. 15,000 elite legions composed of Germans and Hungarians conducted large-scale mountain offensive exercises. The Austro-Hungarian army, which was advancing like a tide, made the German generals who came to watch the battle nod and praised it. When Italy learned about this situation, its confidence in its defense in the Alps began to lose confidence. In the eyes of those other than Qingying, it had 520.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire, with a population of 00,000 and the mechanical arms industry surpassed France and Russia, is undoubtedly one of the five European giants. Considering the combat effectiveness of the Italian army being beaten by local natives in Ethiopia, the majestic and steep Alpine natural dangers could not make Italy feel safe. At the same time, the Austro-Hungarian Navy also began their routine cruise; the spectacular scene of two brand new Radez-class dreadnoughts sailing on the sea at a maximum speed of 20.5 knots also made the Italian Navy, whose shipbuilding speed was tragic, tense.

After a series of threats of force, the attitude of the Italians immediately changed greatly; not only did the warm-up girls' services become more appropriate and comprehensive, but the Italian military and political officials who came to meet with Qingying also no longer had the previous perfunctory expression of smiling but not smiling. The Italians have realized that if they really angered Berlin, Germany and Austria could completely remove Italy in the blink of an eye; even if Britain and France could pull Italy at sea, they could only be ravaged by the German and Austrian troops on land! Seeing this situation, Qingying couldn't help but feel angry; in this jungle era where the truth only exists within the range of cannons, it turns out that only the iron fist wrapped in steel armor is the most effective tool for dialogue with these rogue robbers.

After showing off the big stick in his hand, Qingying continued to discuss with the Italians with a kind and gentle attitude. After all, his purpose was not to adopt a conquest strategy against Italy, but to hit this disobedient little brother so that he could do what he should do in the camp of the Allies. In order to appease the hurtful hearts of the Italians under the pressure of the big stick, Qingying also showed the Italians Berlin side.

Attitude: Germany will support Italy's legitimate demands on the disputed territory of Italy and Austria, and persuade Vienna to accept capital from Italian consortiums into the Balkans to share the cake. On the Libya issue, since Germany must rely on the Ottomans to block the Bosphorus, thus making Russia an isolated world island, Qing and Ying only support Rome to carry out economic infiltration and financial control of this region, and delayed Italy's sovereignty over this region in a mixed manner.

In this way, with the mediation of Qing and Ying, the war that broke out between Italy and the Ottoman in 1912 was avoided. In fact, Qing Ying's visit was very similar to Bismarck's skills back then; both of which were through the temptation and threat of the two ends of the rat, so that the conflicts could be calmed down and delayed the originally imminent intensification. However, unlike Bismarck's decades of diplomatic mediation, which delayed the outbreak of extremely sharp conflicts of interests, the Qing and Ying only had to hold Italy for a few years and let the allies in the Mediterranean.

The strength of the region is enough to avoid the tragedy of cannibalism before the outbreak of World War I. When the war ends and Germany establishes its absolute dominance in Europe, who should care about the grievances between Italy and the Ottomans? By then, Germany no longer needs the Ottomans to encircle the extremely weak Russia or the Soviet Union. The East may become a vassal of Germany after its reinstatement. Italy has no capital to bargain with Germany, which dominates Europe. Berlin can completely give it a six-character mantra that loves to play and not play. How much does Italy and Turkey want to fight, then there is no relationship with Germany!
