    Looking at the shameless smile on the face of German Prime Minister Holweger, Tang Shaoyi wanted to give this guy a slap in the face.  The Germans are so abominable. They are obviously taking China as their scapegoat!  The Germans not only want China's advanced weapons, but also want to keep China out of Europe. Not only do they want to monopolize Africa, but they also want a share of the pie in India, Australia and the Americas. They are not afraid of pushing themselves to death.  What?

    Taking a deep breath and suppressing the anger in his heart, Tang Shaoyi said: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, China cannot accept such conditions! If Germany wants to abandon its alliance, then there is nothing we can do! I believe that even without Germany  With the help of the Allied Powers, there is no way for the Allied Powers to take any advantage of China. China is no longer like the late Qing Dynasty!"

    Tang Shaoyi¡¯s toughness surprised Holweg. He couldn¡¯t help but secretly wonder if the conditions proposed were too excessive for China to accept.  However, don¡¯t the Chinese often say that if you ask for a high price, you will pay back the money?

    "If that's the case, then I can only express regret!" Prime Minister Holweg said coldly as the smile on his face disappeared.  However, neither of them had any intention of leaving.

    After rambling for more than half an hour, we finally came around to this topic.

    Tang Shaoyi said: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister. China's main military power is currently invested in the United States. It is impossible for us to attack Russia, India and Australia within three months. Russia is one of the world's powerful countries, even if it is old.  But it still has a very strong strength. A powerful army of millions. It is not that easy to deal with. India and Australia are also heavily guarded enemies of the British. The British have deployed more than two million troops in these two places (most of them  They are all armies composed of colonial indigenous people). If we want to launch an attack on these places, the Chinese Army must be ready. Therefore, launching an attack next spring is already our bottom line. After all, we still have to cross the Pacific Ocean  Fight America!¡±

    Prime Minister Holweg nodded. Although he is not a soldier, he does not understand military affairs.  China wants to cross the vast Pacific Ocean to attack the United States, which indeed contains most of China's national power.  Although China has the largest population in the world.  But their army has not mobilized much. If China wants to advance against Russia, India and Australia, China will have to mobilize more troops.

    "Okay! China's attacks on Russia, India and Australia can be slowed down. But it must not be later than April next year!" Prime Minister Holweg chose to give in. He was afraid that if he continued to persist, it would really cause China to  strong rebound.  In this case, the gains to Germany will outweigh the losses.  After all, Germany just hopes to use this as a threat to get as much benefit from China as possible.

    "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your understanding. In addition, regarding the issue of colonial distribution after the war, is it too early to discuss these now? It will not be too late to discuss these after we defeat the Allies!" Tang Shaoyi said.

    "No, no, no! Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, these are very important. Germany will continue to carry out the war only if they are confirmed first!" Prime Minister Hollweg shook his head continuously.  If it waits until the Allies are defeated, China will not have so many worries.  If it is not determined first, Germany will not be able to rest assured.

    "Okay! Your Excellency, Prime Minister. China has no ambitions in Europe. After defeating Russia, we will only capture Siberia. As for the European part of Russia, we will leave it to the Allies!" Tang Shaoyi said.  Note that he said leaving it to the Allies, not to Germany.  The Allies included not only Germany, but also Austria-Hungary.  Although the Austro-Hungarian Empire is Germany's core supporter, once it faces huge interests, it will definitely not watch Germany occupy such huge interests.

    Prime Minister Holweg did not see this clearly, so he nodded.  China has no ambitions for Europe, which makes him very happy.

    "Your Excellency Prime Minister, as for Africa, I think it should be jointly managed by China and the Allies. In addition, Egypt is an ally of China, and China has the responsibility to ensure Egypt's independence and national interests!" Tang Shaoyi said.  China now completely occupies the Suez Canal, and its naval power has expanded to the east coast of the Mediterranean. Germany wants to compete with China for this transportation artery, but China will not let it go so easily.

    "Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, several of Germany's colonies in Africa were taken away by Britain and France. Therefore, after defeating the Allies, the colonies of Britain and France in Africa should be used as compensation for Germany!" Prime Minister Holweg said.

    "Greedy guy. Germany only has a small colony in Africa, but it wants to swallow up the whole of Africa. Isn't its appetite too big?" Tang Shaoyi cursed in her heart.

    "Let's do this, sirYour Excellency.  With the exception of South Africa, the rest of Africa could be left to the Allies.  "Tang Shaoyi said. South Africa's gold mines and diamonds are very coveted by China.

    "No, Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs. South Africa is too important to belong entirely to China!" Prime Minister Holweg retorted.  The two sides argued fiercely for half an hour before finally reaching an agreement that Egypt could remain independent regarding African issues.  South Africa is co-administered by China and Germany.  As for the rest of Africa, it belongs to Germany.

    Next, regarding the issue of India and Australia, Tang Shaoyi sternly rejected Germany¡¯s proposal to co-administer India and Australia.  It is claimed that these two places are too far away from China and will pose a threat to China's national security. China will feel relieved only if they are in China's hands.  On this issue, Tang Shaoyi's attitude was very firm.  German Prime Minister Holweg had no choice but to put the issue on hold.  In the end, after Holweg asked Kaiser Wilhelm II for instructions, he still agreed that China would occupy India and Australia, but Germany had the right to carry out normal economic and trade activities in these two places. Germans in India and Australia could obtain Chinese rights.  Protect.

    As for the issue in the Americas, Germany has great interests in South America. However, after China supported Chile, Germany's interests in South America suffered a lot.  Therefore, when it comes to North American issues, Germany is no longer relenting and insists on sharing the same interests as China.  Tang Shaoyi also refused to agree on this issue.  However, after consulting the country for instructions, the Germans' request was finally agreed to.

    The reason why China agreed to Germany is very simple.  Although the Atlantic Ocean is much narrower than the Pacific Ocean, it is also not swimmable by humans.  Without a strong navy, Germany would never have had any chance of conquering the Americas.  When China repairs the Panama Canal and the main force of the Chinese navy eliminates the US Navy and finally the British Navy, the Chinese Navy will become the overlord of the world's oceans.  At that time, China can easily cut off the connection between Germany and the Americas.  The German Navy lost a large number of warships in this naval battle, and it was not so easy to replace them.  What's more, by then China will have a fleet of more than ten aircraft carriers, which will be enough to deal with all threats.

    China is also very reluctant to export cutting-edge weapons such as aircraft and tanks.  China has previously agreed to transfer technology for the H5 "Haitongqing" fighter jet to Germany.  However, it took three months for China to provide Germany with fifty H5 "Haitongqing" fighter jets.  Although the technology was transferred to Germany, the Germans would not be able to fully understand it within a month or two.  As for the H5 ¡®Hongyan¡¯ bomber, FH5 ¡®Falcon¡¯ dive bomber, T4 ¡®Wild Wolf¡¯ light tank, T5 ¡®Cheetah¡¯ medium tank, Z4 wheeled armored vehicle and so on.  The Germans want it, but China doesn't want to just give it to them for free.  After all, these weapons are the guarantee for the Chinese army to defeat the enemy. After being given to Germany, they will undoubtedly cultivate a powerful opponent for China.  Therefore, the two sides have been in a stalemate for a long time on this issue.

    Finally, China agreed to conditionally transfer these weapons to Germany.  For example, Germany must purchase one hundred H5 "Hongyan" bombers from China. After these bombers are delivered, China will transfer production technology to Germany, etc.  Other weapons also have the same conditions.  At the same time, China also delayed time and again, causing Germany to wait for a long time before obtaining these weapons and production technology.  At that time, Britain and France had already developed counter-weapons.  This made Germany's idea of ??using these new weapons to break through the defense lines of the British and French coalition forces ultimately come to nothing.

    The negotiations between Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi and German Prime Minister Holweger lasted for a full week.  During this period, because of the great differences, the negotiations were interrupted several times and the emperors of both parties were consulted for instructions.

    In fact, the reason why China is willing to make such a big concession is entirely to stabilize Germany and let Germany delay Britain, France and Russia, so that China can have enough time to deal with the United States and avoid a two-front war.  As for the price paid, after the war is won, you can completely turn your back on others.  Anyway, Germany first blackmailed China by not fulfilling the treaty. Of course, China does not have to keep its promise.

    As for Germany, they are not good birds either.  Germany wants to obtain various advanced weapons from China, as well as hold back Britain, France and Russia.  Kaiser Wilhelm II has asked the German General Staff to be more cautious in future operations and not to launch large-scale attacks against Britain, France and Russia unless necessary.  Kaiser Wilhelm II wanted to preserve Germany's strength on the one hand, and on the other hand he wanted China to fight head-on with the Allies so that Germany could take advantage of troubled waters!  (To be continued)
