    "My friend, thank you for your comfort. However, can you tell me the real purpose of your coming today? I think there is no need to go around in circles between us!" Marshal Tirpitz asked.  He knew that #ÚâShichang's visit to him today was definitely not just to comfort him.  Although the personal friendship between him and #ÚâShichang is pretty good, everything at this time is definitely not that simple.

    "Okay! Alfred, I want to know Germany's position after the defeat of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet! What will Germany do next? Will it continue to fight?" Deng Shichang asked.  # Quan Shichang, as the president of the Chinese Naval University and the former commander of the Home Fleet, is also very clear about the great impact it will have on China if Germany decides to withdraw from the war.  Last night, he had received a telegram from the Navy Ministry. Admiral Zhang Cheng, the Minister of the Navy, asked him to find out as much as possible the German government's next position and whether the war would continue.  At the same time, he also hopes that he can influence Admiral Tirpitz and make Germany firmer in its determination to fight as much as possible.

    Marshal Tirpitz was silent. He didn't know how to answer this question at all.  Everyone in Germany had great confidence in the German Navy's High Seas Fleet. However, the final result was a disastrous defeat, which dealt a huge blow to Kaiser Wilhelm II, the German military and the German government.  There is no doubt that Germany's confidence has been shaken.  Although no one has proposed withdrawing from the war yet.  But this is almost certain.  The German Army has been locked in a confrontation with the British and French forces on the Western Front and lacks the ability to continue to break through.  The navy, which had high hopes, also failed.  Under such circumstances, one can only imagine what choice Germany will make.

    "My friend, did the Chinese government ask you to come? I know your character very well." Marshal Tirpitz said.

    "Alfred, our government is indeed very concerned about this. His Majesty the Emperor of our country also attaches great importance to this. You should know that this is related to our country's overall strategy for the future!" Deng Shichang said directly.

    "Thank you for your candor. However, I don't know what His Majesty the Emperor is thinking now. But I know very well that the defeat of the High Seas Fleet dealt a huge blow to His Majesty the Emperor. In addition, the Army has basically no hope of winning. Add  The sea lanes to Shanghai are blocked, and now Germany's war potential has been greatly affected. It will be of no benefit to Germany to continue fighting. If the Allies are willing to make concessions, His Majesty the Emperor and the government may really make the decision to withdraw from the war.  It¡¯s a decision!¡± Marshal Tirpitz said.  One of the important reasons why he said this to Deng Shichang was that he did not want the war to end like this.  Although the main force of the High Seas Fleet has been eliminated, the German Navy still has a certain combat capability.  At least the German navy's submarine force had been dealing a huge blow to Britain.  If China is willing to increase its support for Germany and make greater concessions, perhaps Germany will be willing to continue the war.  The German Navy may also have a chance to avenge its shame.  Marshal Tirpitz has always regarded defeating the British Navy as his inevitable goal, and he is really unwilling to give up halfway!

    "His Majesty Alfred, our Emperor, and the government hope that Germany can continue to fight and that we can work together to break the old world system and build a new world system led by us. This has always been our goal! Now!  "Although there have been some setbacks, I believe that with our efforts, we will be able to win in the end!" Deng Shichang said.

    The alliance between Germany and China was officially intended to defeat the Western powers and re-divide the world.  It's just that both Germany and China hope to occupy leadership in the future world.  Now, it seems that Germany's ambitions will be shattered with the disastrous defeat of the Navy's High Seas Fleet.  no doubt

    This is definitely not what China wants to see.  Although, to a large extent, China hopes that Germany can hold back Britain, France and Russia for China, so that China can calmly deal with the United States, its great enemy.  If Germany withdraws, all the pressure from the Allied Powers will fall on China.

    "My friend, this is what I said. However, Germany's current national strength is no longer enough to continue this war. The people's lives are already very difficult, and we need to consider more. Perhaps, from the beginning  It was a mistake to start this war!" Marshal Tirpitz looked pitiful.

    ¡°This bastard old guy is still pretending to be stupid until now!¡± Deng Shichang cursed in his heart.  He knew very well that Tirpitz said these words entirely to strive for greater interests for Germany.  But now, it can be said that China needs something from Germany, so it can only take advantage of it and let the Germans kill it severely.

    "Alfred, I think we must first clarify the relationship between His Majesty the Kaiser and the German government and the German military.Only in the field.  If Germany is willing to continue the dispute, China will not sit back and watch Germany get into trouble.  We can discuss the specific situation in detail at that time.  His Excellency Tang Shaoyi, the Imperial Minister of Foreign Affairs, is already preparing to go to Berlin. He will arrive in the Persian Gulf on a naval warship and then come to Berlin via the Baghdad Railway.  If Germany is determined to continue fighting, we can fight side by side until we achieve final victory.  Of course, if Germany becomes timid, there is nothing China can do about it.  But we will never compromise and we will continue to fight!  Marshal Deng Shichang said.

    Marshal Tirpitz nodded. China¡¯s reaction was as he expected.  However, this kind of national event cannot be decided.  Therefore, he could not make any promises to Deng Shichang, and could only reply to #ÚâShichang that he would convey China's opinions to Kaiser Wilhelm II.  The specific decision will be made after discussions between Kaiser Wilhelm II and the government and the military.  However, Marshal Tirpitz himself was very happy to continue the war.

    Unlike Germany¡¯s pessimism, the Allies had already begun to celebrate victory.  The United Kingdom, the United States, France and Russia, the major Allied countries, all regarded the British Navy and the United States Allied Forces to defeat the German Navy's High Seas Fleet as a great victory of great significance.  Some optimistic people regard this victory as a turning point in the world war, claiming that from this moment on, the initiative in the world war has been transferred to the hands of the Allied Powers.  Although, on the European battlefield, the German army still occupies a certain advantage.  The Chinese army also has an absolute advantage in the Mexican battlefield.  But they believe these advantages will soon be lost.  The Allies will defeat the Central Powers and the evil China, completely win this world war, and return the entire world to its previous development trajectory.

    On the morning of June 1, the major media outlets of the Allied Powers widely published news of the victory of the British Navy and the United States Navy that severely damaged the German Navy's High Seas Fleet and annihilated the main force of the High Seas Fleet.  This made the people of the Allied Powers, who had been nervous and uneasy since the beginning of the war, completely boiling.  Since the start of the war, the news they have heard most is the tragic defeat on the front line, how many troops were lost, which cities were occupied by the Germans or Chinese, etc.  And now, they finally waited for the news of victory.

    In the major cities of the Allied Powers, victory parades also broke out to celebrate victory, as if victory was already within reach.  Similarly, governments of various countries have also gained the love of the people at this moment, and their support has skyrocketed.  This is undoubtedly the most important affirmation for the governments of these so-called democratic countries.  With strong popular support, this means they can continue to be leaders of the country.  After enjoying the wonderful taste of power, no one is willing to give up the power in their hands.

    At 9 a.m. on June 1, Washington time, Theodore.  Roosevelt returned to his office after attending a speech to the public.  Because of the time zone, by the time the British Navy and the U.S. Navy joined forces to defeat the German Navy, it was already 7 pm in Washington.  Although senior cabinet officials of the U.S. government received the relevant news immediately, ordinary people only found out about it through radio and newspapers the next day.  Of course, this did not prevent the American people from venting their excitement. Many people were holding a victory parade in front of the White House.  Before, many of them came to the White House to pay homage to Theodore.  President Roosevelt protested against the disastrous defeat of the U.S. Army on the front in central Mexico.

    Theodore.  When Roosevelt returned to his office, Vice President Woodrow.  Wilson was already waiting for him.  Although, Theodore.  Roosevelt was the president of the United States, but Woodrow.  Wilson was an agent promoted by the Democratic Party, and many officials in the U.S. government cabinet were also members of the Democratic Party.  Therefore, Theodore.  Roosevelt always respected Woodrow.  Wilson, if there is any big issue, he is willing to work with Woodrow.  Wilson discussed.  He knows that the United States can no longer fight among itself and needs to unite to defeat powerful enemies.

    "Your Excellency, it seems that the people's enthusiasm has been aroused, and everyone has emerged from the shadow of failure!" Woodrow.  Wilson said.

    "Yes, I completely agree with you.

    However, we must not forget that our enemy is still very powerful.  Your Excellency, Vice President, I came to see you today because I want to discuss something with you.  If successful, this may allow us to defeat powerful enemies earlier!  "Theodore Roosevelt said. In fact, he already had this idea after learning that the British and American navies had united to defeat the command of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet. However, he first needed the support of Woodrow Wilson!
