    "Of course, Your Majesty the Kaiser! Our two countries have the same interests, and of course we can share technology in terms of technology. However, our country's latest class of warships took the efforts of many of our country's outstanding warship designers.  Therefore, if Germany can transfer Germany's latest military technology to our country, our country is willing to transfer the design drawings of this new class of battleship to Germany for free!" Wang Yuze said with a smile.  There is no such thing as a free lunch, even when facing allies.  Germany wants the design drawings of the "White Qi" class battlecruiser. It's not that simple. It just needs to be exchanged for something good.

    Kaiser Wilhelm II¡¯s eyes flashed, and he was not surprised that China would make an exchange request.  However, he was a little surprised that China actually wanted the latest gun technology just developed by Germany.  The weapons equipped by the German army have always been among the best in the world.  If nothing else, take the navy's main gun as an example. The German Navy's 'Nassau-class' battleship was designed to imitate China's 'China-class' battleship. The caliber of the main gun is only 280 mm, but the power of its main gun is  It is no less powerful than the British Navy's 305mm main gun.  Among them, the new type of ** played a big role.

    With the efforts of German engineers, in 1863 by J?  The TNT** invented by Wilbrand can already be used in actual combat.  The chemical composition of TNT is trinitrotoluene, which is a very powerful and quite safe drug. It generally will not burn or explode even if it is penetrated by a bullet. It can completely replace picric acid.  Therefore, China also hopes to obtain this advanced technology to improve the power of Chinese weapons and be fully prepared for the next war.

    "Your Majesty, Emperor of China, can you change the conditions? The development of new weapons has not actually been completed." Kaiser Wilhelm II said.

    "Haha! His Majesty, the Kaiser, exchanged new weapons for the blueprints of our new warships. I can guarantee that it is definitely worth it. Germany's main enemy is the United Kingdom. And our country's warships of this level are mainly aimed at the United Kingdom.  Britain's strength mainly relies on its huge overseas colonies. Without the blood transfusions from its overseas colonies, Britain would not have been able to last long in the war. Our country's latest battleship is named 'battlecruiser'. This is a  This kind of battleship has powerful firepower and extremely high speed. It is perfect for dealing with Britain and blocking Britain's overseas trade channels. Once the war breaks out, as long as the German Navy equips five to six such battlecruisers  , enough to paralyze Britain's overseas trade channels!" Wang Yuze said with a smile.  Britain was Germany's close enemy, and he knew that Kaiser Wilhelm II would definitely be tempted.  If it does not defeat Britain, Germany will always be trapped in the European continent and unable to participate in global competition.  However, it is not that easy to defeat Britain.  Even though Kaiser Wilhelm II looked down upon the combat power of the British Army, Britain, which was able to obtain huge amounts of manpower and material support from its vast colonies, had undoubtedly a much stronger war potential than Germany.  If the war develops into a protracted war, it will not be so easy for Germany to win.

    Countless thoughts were changing in the mind of Kaiser Wilhelm II, and he quickly analyzed the pros and cons.  If Germany wants to defeat Britain and weaken Britain's war potential as much as possible, this is undoubtedly the most important step.

    "However, although this kind of battleship of your country has strong firepower and speed, it sacrifices its protective performance. Once it encounters the opponent's battleship, it is impossible to win!" Kaiser Wilhelm II said.

    "Your Majesty, battlecruisers have never been used to engage in decisive battles with local battleships. They are only used to break diplomatic relations. The decisive battle between battleships is naturally completed between battleships. Battlecruisers only need to rely on high-power  Speed, get rid of the battleships, and then destroy the empire's communication lines!" Wang Yuze explained.

    Kaiser Wilhelm II nodded, and then said: "Okay, I agree in principle with this exchange, but I need to discuss it with the domestic ministers before I can give you an accurate answer!"

    "Of course, I hope we can have a happy cooperation!" Wang Yuze smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand.  Being able to obtain the latest TNT** production technology from Germany, this trip to Europe is considered a worthwhile trip.

    "His Majesty the Kaiser and His Majesty the Emperor of China, you two seemed to be having a very happy chat!" A middle-aged man in his forties came over with a smile on his face. He was none other than the Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Feidi.  Archduke Nan, Emperor of Austro-Hungary, Franz?  Joseph I¡¯s brother Karl?  Son of Archduke Ludwig.  After the Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince Rudolf committed suicide due to mental illness two years ago, he became the first heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.  However, Archduke Ferdinand in history was not very lucky. Not only did he lose his life in Sarajevo, but he also became the trigger of the First World War, which made the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the boss of the empire, unable to survive.The country fell apart after the war and will never be as strong as before.  However, history has changed now, and I don't know what will happen to the crown prince this time.

    Wang Yuze could see that Archduke Ferdinand also had considerable ambitions.  If he controls the Austro-Hungarian Empire, this may not be a good thing for Germany.  Although Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire both belonged to the German states in the Middle Ages, in order to compete for the leadership of Germany, the original Kingdom of Prussia and the Kingdom of Austria fought a lot.  Even though the two countries have now become allies, there are still many conflicts between the two countries.  If the Allies win this war, Germany will undoubtedly become the superpower that controls Europe.  But if another big country competes with Germany for leadership in Europe, it will undoubtedly be very beneficial to China.  China can fully support the Austro-Hungarian Empire and compete with Germany, and then use this to hold Germany back and calmly carve up the entire world.

    "His Royal Highness, I am very happy to see you! We were just talking about the latest warships equipped by our navy!" Wang Yuze said with a smile.

    "The latest battleship? Is it the huge battleship that His Majesty the Emperor brought to England in just twenty days from distant China?" Archduke Ferdinand, Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, said with shining eyes.  Although the coastline of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is relatively narrow, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is also actively developing its navy in an attempt to become the hegemon of the Mediterranean.  However, in this small pond in the Mediterranean, there are too many powerful enemies. The British Mediterranean Fleet, the French Navy's Mediterranean Fleet, and the Italian Navy are all more powerful enemies than the Austro-Hungarian Empire's navy.  Now, after China took the lead in building new battleships, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was not willing to lag behind.  In the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they were already discussing plans to build a powerful first-class battleship.  It is said that the Austrian Emperor Franz will be the leader?  The new battleship was named after Joseph I's favorite motto, 'United Forces'.  However, the battleship construction technology of the Austro-Hungarian Empire still lags far behind that of the United Kingdom, Germany, and China, and even cannot compare with countries like the United States and Italy.

    "Of course, but this battleship is not a battleship, but a battlecruiser. Its main function is to rely on high speed to break diplomatic relations with the empire. Although in a decisive battle with a battleship, it will be compared due to insufficient protection.  It is a disadvantage, but it is very useful against some powerful countries that rely heavily on sea lines of communication." Wang Yuze said.

    Archduke Ferdinand, Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, nodded, and he instantly understood the role of this battlecruiser of the Chinese Navy.  However, the Austro-Hungarian Empire has not yet used such battleships.  It is Germany's task to deal with Britain.  The main enemies of the Austro-Hungarian Empire were Russia and the Slavs on the Balkan Peninsula.  Or, when Germany attacks France, Austria-Hungary can send troops to assist.  This was the main task of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in this war.

    Not long after, King Vittorio of Italy?  Emanuele III also joined in their conversation.  However, Wang Yuze really didn't have a good impression of this capricious Italian king.  In the two world wars in history, Italy was a complete liability.  It betrayed Germany in the First World War, and completely dragged it down in the Second World War.  Wang Yuze does not want China to form an alliance with such a country.

    A few minutes later, Wang Yuze left with an excuse.

    "His Majesty the Kaiser, how are the Chinese thinking? Are they willing to join our alliance?" After Wang Yuze left, King Vittorio of Italy?  Emanuele III asked impatiently.  From Italy's perspective, if China is willing to join the Allies, their chances of winning will be much greater.

    Kaiser Wilhelm II shook his head: "His Majesty the Emperor of China is willing to carry out multiple cooperation with us, but he does not agree to join the Allies!"

    King Vittorio of Italy?  A glimmer of hope flashed in Emanuele III's eyes. In his opinion, it would be difficult for the three of them to form an alliance alone to defeat the two established powers, Britain and France.  Although Italy and France are enmity over Tunisia, it would be unwise to get involved in a war knowing that they are no match for their enemies.  Vittorio?  Emanuele III felt that it seemed that it was time to reconsider the position of the Kingdom of Italy in the next war that might break out!  (To be continued.
