    In today¡¯s world, Britain is still the only one, especially the navy. The British navy is the strongest in the world. Even if all the countries behind it are added together, they are probably no match for the British navy.  Britain has vast colonies, which requires a powerful navy to maintain its maritime supremacy. There is no doubt that after defeating the Spanish Armada, Britain has established maritime supremacy, and in 1805 at Trafalgar  After Erga's naval battle defeated the French navy, Britain's maritime supremacy was further consolidated. No country in the world could challenge Britain's maritime supremacy.

    In Europe now, Germany has begun to develop rapidly. After defeating France and unifying Germany, because of the five billion francs indemnity from Germany and the ceded iron ore in Lorraine and Alsace, it was simply for Germany.  The development has been given two wings.  Now, German industrial products flooded Europe and launched attacks on the world and Britain.  However, Britain occupies vast colonies and can use these colonies to dump products, making it difficult for Germany to defeat Britain.  As a rising star, Germany was far from being able to compare with Britain in the colonies, which made everyone in Germany dissatisfied.  There are growing calls to use the German sword to carve out more land for Germany.  William II increased investment in the navy precisely to catch up with the British navy and hope to challenge Britain's maritime hegemony.  However, it is very difficult for Germany to challenge Britain's maritime hegemony on its own.  At this time, China's rapid rise is nothing more than news to Germany.  Britain has the most important colonies in Asia, and these are all within China's attack range. If China and Germany form an alliance and China launches an attack on these British colonies, the colonial system that Britain has worked so hard to maintain will inevitably collapse.  At that time, Britain is bound to decline, and Germany can take the opportunity to replace it.

    However, Wang Yuze is not a fool. The current alliance with Germany will undoubtedly make China a target of the UK and will divert most of the UK's energy to the Far East. This is extremely detrimental to China now.  In addition, the traditional enemies of China and Japan have not yet been eliminated, and there is no energy to turn to other places for the time being.  In addition, China plans to occupy Hawaii, the Philippines, Guam and the Mariana Islands within the next three years, which will require a lot of energy from China.  It is obviously unwise to offend Britain at this time.  Therefore, Wang Yuze can only apologize for Prince Heinrich's proposal of alliance. China will not take chestnuts from the fire for Germany.

    During the rise of Western Sichuan and even China, Germany provided a lot of help, which Wang Yuze has always kept in mind.  In addition, if China wants to develop and establish its status as a great power, it must break the existing colonial system, and during this period, it must rely on France.  It can be said that it is inevitable for China and Germany to come together.  However, when China is unable to deal with the British threat, China will not agree to form an alliance with Germany.

    "His Royal Highness Prince Heinrich, I hope you can understand China's difficulties. Even without the constraints of the alliance, China and Germany are natural allies because our interests are consistent. Germany has developed, and China is also entering a rapid  In the process of development, both the 50 million people in Germany and the 400 million people in China need a broader living space. At this point, our goals are the same. And now, what we need to do is to wait patiently and work hard to strengthen our  With our strength, we will defeat our opponents in one fell swoop, win the final victory, and get what we want!" Wang Yuze said with a smile.

    "Your Excellency, Marshal, you are absolutely right. The interests of our two countries are the same. I believe that we will eventually become allies!" Prince Heinrich also smiled.

    "His Royal Highness has come all the way. After my enthronement ceremony, I hope that His Highness can stay in China for a while. I think we will definitely become friends!" Wang Yuze said.  ,

    "I am very honored. This time, I hope to visit your country's navy, and I hope your Excellency, the Marshal, can agree!" Prince Heinrich said.  The current German navy is not necessarily weaker than the Chinese navy.  However, they have no actual combat experience, and the Chinese Navy is the only powerful navy that has actual combat experience after entering the steam era and has defeated its opponents. In terms of combat experience, the German Navy can learn a lot.  This time Heinrich went to China, accompanied by many naval officers, and he himself was also a German naval vice admiral.

    "No problem at all, I will say hello to the navy. We will never hold back when it comes to treating friends!" Wang Yuze said immediately.  Of course, this is just talk, and the Chinese navy's secret weapon for victory will certainly not be exposed.  For example, the fire control system and the newly built battleships, etc., are all part of the Chinese Navy.Even if the country's weapons have a good relationship with Germany, they will not be exposed casually.  There are no permanent friends between countries, only eternal interests.  China and Germany are now on good terms because they have a common enemy. Once they defeat their opponents, it will probably be time for China and Germany to show off.

    "Then thank you, Marshal!" Prince Heinrich said with a smile.

    September 18th is a crisp autumn day. The originally hot weather has dropped a lot due to two consecutive days of rainfall, and the weather is very cool.  Today, Beijing is in a state of joy. All the citizens of Beijing and people from all over the country have gathered towards the Temple of Heaven. Today, they will witness the emperor¡¯s enthronement and the founding of the empire.

    People all put on new clothes that they usually wear during the New Year. Although most people still have a smile on their faces, this cannot hide everyone's excited mood.  The decadent and backward Manchu Qing Dynasty was overthrown. From today on, China will open a new chapter.

    At 8 o'clock in the morning, a neat team set off from Xinhua Palace. The leader was the elite cavalry of the Imperial Guard adapted from the instructors. They were all wearing dark green uniforms and looked high-spirited.  Behind them were the civil and military ministers of the empire, cabinet members, governors and deputy governors of each province, the military general staff headquarters, the army and navy ministry, and the chief officers of the following military regions and divisions, all riding on tall horses.  However, their clothes were all replaced by dark court clothes. This kind of court clothes was originally modified from Hanfu, and the color was the same as that of the Han Dynasty, which was black.  They also wear crowns on their heads. Civil servants mostly wear high mountain crowns and Jinxian crowns. Cabinet members wear the former, other officials wear the latter, and military attach¨¦s all wear military crowns.  Behind the civil and military ministers were Wang Yuze and Yiqian harem chariots.  Wangyoucao was currently wearing a sky-high crown and a bright yellow dragon robe. He really looked a bit like an emperor, but if he had to choose, he would prefer to wear a military uniform.  However, the use of Hanfu as a dress for sacrifices and celebrations has been issued as an order. As an emperor, of course he must first follow it.  Behind Wang Yuze's carriage were the carriages of the concubines of the harem. In order, the queen's carriage came first, and then the concubine's carriage.

    Xinhua Palace is not far from the Temple of Heaven, only four kilometers away. Both sides of the pre-planned road were already crowded with people watching the ceremony.

    "Long live the emperor, long live the empire!" When Wang Yuze's carriage passed by, fanatical cheers rang out. The people gave enough praise to this young emperor who defeated the Manchu Qing Dynasty, defeated the Oriental island country, and created a new era.  Adored.  Wang Yuze was very excited when he heard people's cheers.  Isn't this what he and his father have worked hard for for so many years?  However, Wang Xiao can no longer see this day, and he still needs to continue working hard to usher in a more glorious tomorrow for the empire.

    The excited Wang Yuze opened the window of the carriage and waved to the people, which aroused even more cheers from the people.  However, Wang Wei later deprived Wang Yuze of this power on the grounds of safety.  Although the Manchu violence has been eliminated invisible, China has many enemies, especially the East Asian island countries, which hate China to death. If they take the opportunity to send people to assassinate, it will be troublesome.  Wang Yuze is still young, and his children are still young. If anything happens to him, the empire's path to rejuvenation will be severely interrupted.

    In fact, in order to ensure safety during the celebration, the Ministry of Interior, the Military Intelligence Bureau and the garrison have been very alert.  Soldiers in military uniforms were guarding both sides of the road along the way, and snipers were even placed at some commanding heights along the way.  A large number of personnel from the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Ministry of Interior are also wearing translators and are among the crowd. If there is an emergency, they can deal with it immediately.

    The faces of the civil and military ministers are also full of smiles. The empire was founded. More than 90% of the current civil and military ministers are from western Sichuan. Now that the empire is established, they are very excited. Wang Yuze's enthronement ceremony  After that, it¡¯s time to reward them.  Isn¡¯t this what we have been sacrificing our lives and blood for so many years?

    The motorcade did not move very fast. It took a full hour to cover the short four-kilometer journey, and it arrived at the Temple of Heaven at nine o'clock in the morning.  The place has already been prepared. Representatives from all walks of life and envoys from various countries who are watching the ceremony have all arrived on the viewing platform.  After Wang Yuze worships the heaven, he can declare himself emperor and the empire is established.  Everyone has been waiting for this day for a long time.
