    Should it sell fighter jets to Germany?  Emperor Wang Yuze was hesitant! After all, it is not easy for China to gain its current advantage. If it had not started laying out the plan more than ten years ago and continued to invest huge sums of money in this, the Chinese Air Force would not have had the advantage.  current achievements.  Wang Yuze was always unwilling to sell it to the Germans and let Germany share China's achievements.  But what if you say no?  This will undoubtedly cause another rift in the relationship between China and Germany, and will also have a great impact on the ongoing world war.  It will take at least two years for China to defeat the United States, and it will take at least two more years for China to stabilize Germany.

    This request from Germany put Wang Yuze in a bit of a dilemma, so that night he summoned Cabinet Prime Minister Wu Tingfang, Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi, Chief of General Staff Cai Yun, Navy Minister Zhang Cheng, Defense Minister Jiang Xingguo, and Air Force Commander Long Feiyu.  Will.

    "What do you think of the Germans' request to us? Do we want to sell FB'Haitongqing, fighter jets to the Germans?" Wang Yuze asked.  Although he has been the emperor for seventeen years and has a decisive position in the entire empire, Wang Yuze is still used to listening to everyone's opinions on major matters and will not act arbitrarily.  Although the feeling of controlling the whole world is very good, Wang Yuze has always reminded himself that he is not a saint and has many shortcomings. He does not want his arbitrary behavior to have any adverse impact on the empire.

    "Your Majesty, FB'Haitongqing, the fighter jet is a fighter jet that we spent a lot of time and money to develop. It is the main model of the Imperial Air Force now. If sold to the Germans, with Germany's industrial strength, in a very short time,  It can be copied within a short period of time. This will undoubtedly have a great impact on the security of the empire. After all, although we are allies now, once we defeat the Allies, we will quickly go into confrontation, or even fight with each other. Therefore,  We have to be on guard against Germany!" said Cai Yun, Chief of General Staff.  The Air Force has shown its powerful combat capabilities on the battlefield. This is not just fighter jets, but also bombers, transport aircraft, etc.  In future wars, the air force will definitely play an increasingly important role.  As an imperial soldier, of course you have to think about the interests of the empire.  Of course such a weapon must be in the hands of the empire!

    Wang Yuze nodded. It was precisely because of his understanding of future generations that he spared no effort to support the development of the Air Force.  China still lags behind the Western powers in terms of industrial strength. If it wants to defeat the Western powers, it must start from other aspects and shorten the gap with the Western powers by taking shortcuts.  The scientific and technological achievements achieved in the development of China's aviation industry have also greatly improved China's industrialization level.  Coupled with the use of aircraft on the battlefield, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army has once again reached a higher level.  And if fighter jets are exported to Germany, this will undoubtedly greatly weaken China's combat power to a relative extent.

    "Your Majesty, I agree with the Chief of Staff. In the current European battlefield, the Germans still have a certain advantage. Although Britain and France are trying to find ways to regain the initiative on the battlefield, they may not be able to achieve it in a short time. If  We exported fighter jets to Germany, which will undoubtedly strengthen the strength of the German army again. It will break the balance between Britain, France and Germany. This is very detrimental to us who want to use Britain and France to consume Germany's national power!" Minister of Defense  Jiang Xingguo also said.  Using Britain and France to consume Germany's strength was actually using this war to consume the strength of the entire Western world, so that China could seize world hegemony after the war.

    This is the main purpose of China's active promotion of this war.  If Germany quickly wins the war with China's help, this will not be in China's interests, and it will also create a powerful enemy for China.  Once Germany rules Europe, it will be very difficult to defeat Germany with China's current strength!

    This view of National Defense Minister Jiang Xingguo undoubtedly touched everyone's heart, and everyone including the Emperor Wang Yuze nodded.  What China wants is not just to win this war, but to gain world hegemony.  Therefore, not only the Allies are China's enemies, but Germany is also China's potential enemy!

    "Your Majesty, if we refuse to sell fighter planes to Germany, will the relationship between us and Germany become even worse? Although the world war has begun, several powerful countries in Europe have suffered heavy losses. But if they feel  If we are threatened, is it possible to stop the war and deal with us unanimously? Or should we defeat us first and then compete for world hegemony?" said Prime Minister Wu Tingfang.

    Everyone¡¯s expressions changed drastically. Although this possibility was very small, no one dared to say that such a possibility would not happen.  After all, the fight was bloody, but they were all white.  I believe that no matter which country it is, they don¡¯t want yellow people to appear againRise up and become the world hegemon.  Although the Allied Powers and the Entente Powers have become life-or-death enemies, to put it bluntly, they are just conflicts of interest.  If Britain and France could make concessions, they might be able to exchange for peace in Europe.  National interests are the most important. There will be no permanent friends or permanent enemies between countries. One moment they were enemies, but the next moment they may come together because of common interests.

    "Your Majesty, I also think that we should ease our relations with Germany. As long as Germany thinks that they have the ability to defeat Britain and France and gain dominance in Europe, they will not compromise with Britain and France. Although this is a bit risky,  But if they win, they will undoubtedly get more. Therefore, we cannot let the Germans become more wary of us. Now that the Chinese Air Force's fighter jets have shown strong combat power, this has undoubtedly made the Germans feel threatened.  . If we reject their request, once the Germans think that even if they defeat the Allied Powers, they will not be able to defeat us in the end, maybe they will change their minds. You know, Kaiser Wilhelm II is also a white supremacist.  . The reason why Germany unites with us is just for common interests. At least, before comprehensively defeating the United States, we cannot let Germany fall to the West, but let them shed more blood. Once we defeat the United States,  There is no need to worry about fighting on two fronts. And European countries have also been severely damaged in the war. By then we will have much more room for maneuver!" said Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi.

    Wang Yuze nodded. He had to admit that Tang Shaoyi's words were very reasonable.  Although the possibility of reconciliation between the Allies and the Entente is very small, once a powerful enemy appears, it is entirely possible for them to reconcile under external threats.  If that happens, it will be a disaster for China.  China will never allow this to happen, at least not until it defeats the United States.  Otherwise, once it falls into a two-front war and becomes an enemy of the entire Western world, China will be in dire straits!

    "General Long, what's your opinion?" Wang Yuze asked.  Long Feiyu is the commander of the Air Force, and he obviously has his own opinions in this regard.  Because the Air Force was established too soon and its scale was too small, no dedicated Air Force Department was established.  However, as the Air Force continues to grow and develop, and its role in the war becomes more and more important, the Ministry of the Air Force will eventually be established.

    "Your Majesty, since you have explained many reasons, it seems that we cannot refuse the German request. However, your Majesty and your Excellencies do not need to worry too much. The Air Force does not just have fighter planes.  , pilots and ground crews are also needed. These cannot be completed overnight. The Imperial Air Force has developed, and both the number of equipped fighters and the training of personnel have far exceeded those of Western countries. Germany wants  It is not easy to catch up with us. Even during the war, many problems will be easier to solve. But at least in the next two or three years, the Germans will not want to catch up with us." Air Force Commander Long Feiyu  said.

    Wang Yuze and others couldn't help but see that the air force's technical content was higher than that of the army and navy.

    Army soldiers can go to the battlefield after three months of recruit training, but training a pilot cannot take more than one or two years.  Especially fighter aircraft with better performance also need excellent pilots.  In addition, some air combat tactics also take a certain amount of time to accumulate.  These are China's advantages and cannot be caught up by Germany in a short time.

    "Your Majesty, another reason is that the industrial strength of Germany and Western powers is too strong. The main technology of fighter planes is actually aero engines. With Western internal combustion engine technology, it is not too difficult to come up with professional aero engines. After  The speculation of our professionals is that if Germany had not obtained technology from us, with their own strength, they would have been able to come up with a fighter that could rival the FB'Haitongqing in as little as three months. After all, in many technologies  In terms of technology, the gap between us and Germany is not big, or even just a layer of separation. The appearance of our fighter planes has allowed the Germans to find their way. Instead of this, we might as well be more generous and export fighter planes to the Germans.  Forget it!" General Long Feiyu continued.

    Wang Yuze nodded, feeling a little heavy, but he had already made a decision in his heart. It seemed that selling fighter jets to Germany was inevitable!
