Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    There is no doubt that it is most beneficial for China to stabilize Germany and allow Germany to continue the war.  However, the Germans are not fools. Once Germany feels that it is more advantageous to withdraw from the war now, the Germans will probably make peace with the Allies for their own interests.  To this end, China must let the Germans see the benefits of continuing the war.  This also means that China must pay a certain price.  Although this is a bit hard to accept, it has to be done for the sake of longer-term interests.  Otherwise, China will suffer even more losses!

    "Then, we need to send people to contact the German side now. I think the news of the failure of the High Seas Fleet cannot be hidden from anyone at all. It is still early morning on the German side. After dawn, there will definitely be chaos on the German side.  Yes. We need to help Kaiser Wilhelm II and the German government strengthen their determination to continue fighting!" Wang Yuze said.

    "Your Majesty, why don't you go to Germany!" Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi said.  To strengthen Germany's determination to fight, China will definitely need to send heavyweight ministers to come forward.  Cabinet Prime Minister Wu Tingfang is a good candidate, but Wu Tingfang is older now. Although he is still in good spirits at the age of seventy, the government has a lot to do, and he really can't get away.  In this case, Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi becomes the best candidate.

    "Okay! Mr. Tang, you will go to Germany as the empire's plenipotentiary envoy. Contact Kaiser Wilhelm II and the German government. If necessary, the empire can pay a certain price, as long as Germany can continue the war!" Wang Yuze  said.

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi nodded. He also knew that this mission was quite arduous. If it could not be completed, it would put the empire into a great crisis.

    "Your Majesty, President of Naval University #Marshal Shichang is currently in Germany. We can let Marshal Deng Shichang make contact with the German Navy. Although the German Navy's High Seas Fleet was defeated, the German Navy still has the support of the German government and Kaiser Wilhelm II.  It has great influence. If they can be allowed to continue fighting, they may be able to influence William II!" said Navy Minister Zhang Cheng.  When there were signs of a decisive battle between the British and German navies, China dispatched a naval observation team to Germany to prepare to observe this decisive battle at sea.  After all, this is most likely the largest battleship showdown in human history.  Although the development direction of the Chinese Navy has been focused on aircraft carriers, large-scale duels between battleships will still provide great reference for the Chinese Navy.  What's more, this is also a good opportunity to learn about the German Navy and the British Navy.  If China wants to become the world's hegemon, both the British Navy and the German Navy will be China's enemies.  The President of Naval University and Navy Marshal Deng Shichang is the leader of this observation group!

    "Yes. Marshal #阝 also studied in Germany and has a close relationship with the generals of the German Navy!" Wang Yuze nodded and then said: "In addition, contact the ambassador to Germany and let him get a feel for the German side.  specific situation!"

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" said Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi.

    "Everyone, from now on, the empire will face a great crisis. The empire's army, navy and air force will be further mobilized. Stabilizing the Germans is just to buy us time. If we really want to win this war,  We still need to rely on our own strength. I hope that in the next war, the imperial army can perform better and win this war for the empire!" Wang Yuze said in a deep voice.  Now, China must race against time and prepare for Germany to withdraw from the war alone.  Otherwise, China will face a more severe situation.

    This is very detrimental to China, which is striving to gain world hegemony.

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" everyone replied loudly.  As the top leaders of the empire, they all know how long China has been preparing for this war.  It has been almost a year since the war broke out.  China has now fully entered a state of war, and has been victorious on the battlefield. It seems that it is not very far away from China's complete victory.  But now there are such variables, which have seriously endangered China's future strategy.  Therefore, now China needs to unleash more powerful war power.  And this requires the unity of the imperial government and the military.

    Next, the imperial government began to actively intervene in industrial production and transferred all war-related factories to the wartime system.  In addition, a large number of metallurgical, chemical and mechanical factories will also be established to further expand the empire's war potential.  In terms of the military, first the Army began a new round of mobilization.  A large number of young people of school age were notified and went to the military camp to receive recruit training.  This time, the Imperial Army will once again arm a hundred infantry divisions.  If necessary, alsoMore troops will be raised.  The empire has sufficient human resources. In terms of the army, especially the infantry, it can arm an army that makes the whole world fearful.  Various arsenals of the Army have also begun to work overtime to produce weapons and ammunition, especially heavy weapons such as tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery, which have been given top priority.  In terms of the navy, the battleships, aircraft carriers, heavy cruisers, and other battleships being built by the empire have accelerated.  Many small warships and military transport ships are produced by private shipyards to speed up construction.  As for the Air Force, new fighter jets and bombers have also begun intensive test flights and will be finalized and produced as soon as possible.

    At the same time, the Imperial Army also began to actively prepare for a new round of offensive on the Mexican battlefield to completely drive the US military out of Mexico and even invade the United States in one fell swoop.  In addition, other units of the Army have also begun to increase troops to Siberia, Central Asia, South Asia, Australia and Egypt.  In terms of the Navy, in addition to the main force still hunting the light warships and submarines of the US Navy's West Coast Fleet in the Eastern Pacific, the main force of the Indian Ocean Fleet has also begun to further squeeze the living space of the small fleets left by the US Navy in India and Australia.  Everything is for China to take the initiative in the war.

    It was the early morning of June 1, 1912, Berlin time. Although this morning was no different from usual, there seemed to be an uneasiness flowing in the air.  Although Kaiser Wilhelm II requested that the news of the tragic defeat of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet be kept secret, how could it be possible to keep such a big matter completely secret?  Especially in the military ports in western Germany, some battleships that were damaged in the early stages of the decisive battle have returned to the military ports. The hulls full of bullet marks and white-burned have aroused the exclamations of local residents.

    In addition, some Allied agents lurking in Germany began to spread the news that the German Navy's High Seas Fleet had been wiped out, causing people to panic.  Although most Germans do not believe this, they have strong confidence in the German High Seas Fleet and believe that the German Navy will definitely achieve a brilliant victory for Germany.  However, as the German government remained silent on the matter, the confidence of the German people began to gradually decline. Slowly, many people began to doubt whether the Imperial Navy's High Seas Fleet had really suffered a disastrous defeat.

    At 9 a.m., a car flying the Chinese flag and the logo of the Chinese Embassy in Germany drove to the German Admiralty.  At the door, the driver showed his ID to the guard and waited for less than two minutes before being allowed in.  When the car drove into the German Admiralty, Marshal Tirpitz, the German Minister of the Navy, was already waiting on the steps in front of the building.  However, Admiral Tirpitz now looks so tired.

    The car was stable. A naval officer got out of the passenger seat and opened the rear door.  An old man with an old face but sharp eyes stepped out of the car. He was none other than the President of the Chinese Naval University, Naval Marshal Deng Shichang.

    "Welcome, my friend!" Marshal Tirpitz saw Marshal Deng Shichang and took the initiative to greet him.  When #阝Shichang and other officers of the Chinese Navy were studying in Germany, they already knew each other and had a good relationship.

    "My friend, are you okay?" After the two hugged each other, Marshal Deng Shichang asked directly.

    Marshal Tirpitz's eyes suddenly dimmed: "My friend, I am fine. However, Germany is very bad now. The German Navy is very bad now!"

    There was deep pessimism in Tirpitz's words.  The main force of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet was annihilated, which was a very big blow to him.

    After the two came to Marshal Tirpitz's office, Tirpitz looked even more decadent.  After receiving the news of the defeat of the High Seas Fleet, he was unable to sleep all night last night, so that his mental state was now very bad.

    "Alfred, after hearing the news of the High Seas Fleet battle report, I was also shocked. However, I think the High Seas Fleet is very heroic. If the British and Americans had not joined forces and used despicable tactics, maybe the High Seas Fleet  The fleet has won the victory!" Deng Shichang said.

    "Yes. However, there is no despicable or not despicable war, only winners and losers. And now, Germany is the loser! The powerful naval fleet that Germany spent decades building, in one day,  It was ruined. At the same time, Germany's determination was also ruined!" Marshal Tirpitz's face was full of loneliness.  He was called the father of Germany's navy, and now, with the High Seas Fleet defeated, it was as if his children had been killed.
