Compared with Qitad, Wobasi is much slower here.

As a country that once lost to Trucheners and is an old empire, the Austrians' mood is complicated.

Prince Leopold was obviously not interested in these matters, and the burden of negotiations fell on Konitz, who was in his sixties.

However, Konitz has served as Prime Minister of Austria thirty years ago and was able to make great contributions to the position of the old empire on the eve of the Industrial Revolution.

This time he brought a capable ten-person team, with one or two people in each aspect. What he was going to talk about, what was the bottom line, what was the information he had, what was the setback, what was the phased goal, etc., were all extremely detailed, even more detailed than the Truqins.

When encountering such an opponent, it is impossible to end the negotiation as soon as possible.

On this day, Qitad found Wobasi.

"How is it?"

"Not ideal, they seem to be here to negotiate, but to find out our details. Now, there is no need to attack the Ottoman at all, but to ensure that we will not attack them by attacking the Ottomans."

"So they wanted to find out the deployment of our troops in Western Ukraine near Austria?"

“Yes”

"After talking for so many days, I finally gained something"

"Yes, now I remember that they are nominally very worried about our country, but Wang Gu said that he is "

"Oh?"

"Your Majesty, I was also a little surprised at that time. How could they be so calm when faced with such a great temptation? If it were me, they would have entered the formal negotiations as soon as they came out, but they kept making trouble for the snare."

"After the meeting, I immediately learned about the latest situation in the German Greater German region from Dengze. A few years ago, they divided up Poland, Prussia obtained territory west of the Vistula River, and officially obtained Silesia. After more than ten years, their strength was completely restored"

"In addition, the last time I was defeated by our country, Frederick learned from his mistakes and immediately implemented reforms in China after returning. There are two main points: the complete abolishment of the serfdom, and the second is the construction of a large number of schools so that all the children of ordinary people can enter the school."

"This is unique in Europe. Five years later, Prussia's strength has reached another level"

"For the Austrians, especially the Habsburgs, they were not worried about Frederick becoming bigger, nor were they worried that he could succeed the Holy Roman Emperor, but were worried that he would break the separatist rule of the electorate in the German region and prepare to establish a new empire."

"So, for the Austrians, Prussia is their biggest enemy. Now Prussia has restored about 100,000 permanent troops. If the Austrians launch southward and are attacked by the Prussians behind them, it will be troublesome"

"What they mean is to let our army station a large army near Lviv that was enough to deter the Prussians, so that they could feel at ease to move south?"

"Most of all, and in the negotiations over the past few days, Konitz repeatedly showed financial inadequacies and could not supply the army"

"Now half of Austria's army is supported by the state's finances, half of which are controlled by the lords, and half are directly obeying the Grand Duke of Austria"

"The other half is recruited temporarily. If the plan to attack the Ottoman is determined, they need to start recruiting a large number of people. According to their statement, it will take at least a year."

Hearing this, Qitad scolded: "I really overestimated them! Isn't it their greatest dream to regain the European part occupied by the Islamists? Is it our begging them to recover?!"

"No, Your Majesty, you can see that in the face of such a great action, both Leopold and Konitz were very excited. They were willing to participate in this matter, but they were just looking forward to it."

"Well, so they want to borrow money?"

"Yes, they are ready to use the new army, and they have calculated the calculations. At least one hundred thousand troops are needed to attack the European part of the Ottomans. They cannot be the existing army, they must be all new troops."

"According to their financial resources, we can only add a new army of 50,000 people. I have also explored their words. Each recruit needs at least one hundred Truqin silver coins a year, and 50,000 people will be five million silver coins."

"Do they mean to borrow money from us, then take down the European part of the Ottoman and return it to us from the trophy?"

"Yes, although Konitz didn't say it clearly, it probably means that's it"

....

A few days later, Qitade hosted a banquet to entertain Konitz.

On the table, Qitad said, "I heard that your country is still doubting this matter?"

Konitz said: "There is a big deal and it must be measured in full."

"Can you express your concerns directly in front of me?"

"This..."

"Okay, I like to be straightforward and don't like to talk nonsense, just say it straight, you mainly care about two forces"

"One is Frederick's Prussia, who is the main guarantee of the British sovereignty over Hannover, so he tied up the British"

"The second is the French. They have long coveted the territory of Southern Germany for a long time. The country is now close to our country. However, in the war, the Spanish, who were the Bourbon family, would definitely intervene, because our country defeated Spain not long ago"

"After our country took Sardinia, it separated Sicily, which was controlled by the Spaniards from its homeland. Therefore, if France intervened, the Spaniards would definitely intervene"

"In the face of this possible situation, you hesitate, are you? You have no confidence to face the four major forces of Prussia, Ottoman, France and Spain at the same time"

"This..."

"If this is true, I decided to bring France in and promise him the vassal state of Baden and the Duchy of Württemberg next to France, so that they would not participate in this war. What do you think? For you, although you lost the vassal states and principalities of the Holy Roman Empire, you have obtained a large area of ​​land on the Balkan Peninsula"

"It's still a good deal"

"No!"

Konitz immediately changed his face.

After a while, he said, "Dear Your Majesty, all these you said may happen, but we will not know that the French want to enter the Principality of Württemberg, and this thing will most likely not happen"

"Then I will ask Louis XVI to send the navy into the Adriatic Sea and attack the Ottoman Albania!"

"Your Majesty!", Konitz was suffering inside. He obviously understood the strength of the French. Once the French intervened, it would be a problem to obtain how much land in the Balkans.

"We need a lot of money to prepare for the new army. We now have 50,000 new army, 50,000 lords who can be mobilized at any time, but that's not enough. You're right. What we worry most is Frederick, who is a military genius. Facing him, 50,000 people is far from enough..."

"Not afraid, if we finally reach a covenant, I will set up a mobile army in Lviv, which is enough to deter Frederick. Such a clause is what we should negotiate, not anything else"

"I understand, then I'll tell the truth, we need at least five million Ducat loans"

"No problem", Qitad took out an envelope from his body and pulled out a colorful piece of paper from it.

"This is a promissory note that my country has agreed with Amsterdam Bank every three years. It can be used or not. To be honest, I haven't used it in recent years. The amount of the amount, who to pay, and the payment time will be filled in by myself."

"If you agree to sign the covenant, I will immediately fill in your name on it. By the way, I know that Amsterdam Bank seems to have branches in Vienna, which is very convenient."

"What should I use to return it?"

"This is your and my business, it has nothing to do with Amsterdam Bank, and it is naturally the content of the negotiation. These details are what you, those of you who are specifically involved in the negotiation, need to pay attention to, quarrel, not others"

"Also, since you can handle the French, we will do Prussia. After the signing of the alliance, keep it confidential for a period of time, and wait until the official attack on the Ottomans and achieve certain results will be made public."

"You might as well tell me my thoughts together. After the war begins, your army will directly attack Serbia from Hungary and then advance along the Danube. The Persians will take on the task of attacking the Asia Minor Peninsula, and we will directly attack Istanbul!"

"I believe His Highness Wobasi has told you that for the European part, I only need East Thrace, and the rest of the places are yours. You do not need to control these places through the forms of various vassal states, borough states, priest states, and elected states, and just include them directly into the Habsburg family."

"That Istanbul?"

"You have obtained so much land. Do you really want to restore the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire? It is impossible. I must obtain land on Istanbul and its sides. This is the bottom line. In fact, with the ability of our army, it is not too difficult to obtain land on the entire Black Sea coast"

"I was in a good mood, so I made such a decision, ahem..."

Konitz quickly said, "I understand, I will immediately discuss in detail with His Highness Wobasi and His Excellency Yesmu"

....

A month later, the three parties reached a covenant in Yalta, with the main content:

First, the Three Kingdoms form a military alliance, effective from now on.

Second, a year later, the three sides attacked the Ottoman Empire at the same time, and the Austrian attacked downstream along the Danube River; the Persians attacked the Asia Minor Peninsula from Lake Van and Baghdad; the Truchens directly attacked Istanbul.

Third, in order to support the Austrians to prepare military strength, the Truchens provided them with a promissory note of Dukat's Amsterdam bank, which will be repaid within two years after the war ended, without interest.

Fourth, the alliance must be kept confidential after signing. If any party leaks the secret, it will be considered as betrayal of the alliance, and the other two companies will jointly deal with the leaker.

Fifth, in order to cover up the eyes, the Persian army first tentatively invaded the Baghdad area, but the speed of advancement should not be too fast.

Sixth, afterwards, Austria will obtain all Balkan territories except Eastern Thrace; Persia will obtain all Ottoman Asian territories except the provinces along the Ottoman Strait, Jerusalem, and Cyprus.

Seventh, Truchen won the East Thrace on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, Istanbul, Izmit, Yalova, Bursa, Baleksir, Canakkale, Crete, and Cyprus.
