    The news that the US-UK combined fleet suffered a disastrous defeat in the Battle of the Bahamas! In just one or two days, it caused a sensation all over the world. Both countries at war and neutral countries were all concerned about this.  Very concerned.  In particular, those member states of the Allied Powers felt a great threat. After the defeat of the combined fleet of the US and British navies, anyone with a discerning eye knew that the United States would not be able to hold on for long.  By then, the entire Allied Powers will be close to defeat!

    However, at the same time, there was also a saying in newspapers published by many European media that the Battle of the Bahamas represented the end of Western dominance of the entire world, and the re-emergence of the East was inevitable.  This statement is very marketable and has attracted the attention of many Westerners.

    Hundreds of years ago, the center of the world was the East, and the West at that time was called a foreigner.  Finally, with the help of the development of the Industrial Revolution, the Western world quickly surpassed the East and began to invade and enslave the East.  But now, the East is once again on the rise, which is unacceptable to many white supremacist racists!

    For a time, various demonstrations broke out in major powers in the Western world such as Britain, France, Russia, Germany, Austria-Hungary and the United States.  Many people participating in the march asked the government to stop the war, and then the entire Western world united to deal with the rise of the East to safeguard the interests of the Western world and white people!  However, although this view has not yet become mainstream, if left unchecked, it will definitely become more popular!  At the same time, diplomats from the Allied Powers also began to lobby within the Allies, hoping that the Allied Powers and the Central Powers could reach an understanding, end the war as soon as possible, and jointly deal with the threat from the East.

    As the leader of the Allied Powers, Germany is also China's main ally in Europe. Even though the alliance between the two sides has become increasingly unstable, Germany continues to carry out the war, which is also very beneficial to China.  If it can be delayed until China solves the United States, no matter what choice Germany makes, China will be able to deal with it calmly!

    Liang Cheng, Chinese Ambassador to Germany, met with German Prime Minister Theo Baden.  Feng.  Bateman.  Holweg conveyed to him the requirements of the Chinese emperor and government. Now the war between China and the Allied Powers against the Allies has entered the most critical moment. If Germany gives up, all previous achievements will undoubtedly be wasted.  Compared with China, Germany suffered huge losses in this war, but did not gain much.  If Germany and the Allied Powers shake hands and make peace at this time, Germany's previous efforts will be in vain!

    German Prime Minister Holweg immediately told Liang Cheng, the Chinese Ambassador to Germany, that Germany would firmly continue to fulfill its obligations as an ally. According to the agreement signed by both parties, Germany would not make peace with the Allies alone.  The Allies are the enemies of Germany and China, and China and Germany will do their best to defeat the Allies!  But I don¡¯t know how credible Prime Minister Holweg¡¯s words are!  The supreme power of Germany is still under the control of William II. Prime Minister Holweg is just an obedient doll in the hands of William II!  The main reason why Wilhelm II made Holweger the German Prime Minister was because Holweger was more obedient!

    On the evening of January 12, at the Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam, Kaiser Wilhelm II also held an emergency meeting to discuss Germany¡¯s current situation.  What Germany should do next is very important.  The Chinese navy successfully won the naval battle in the Bahamas, which shocked Germany.  However, this can certainly deal a heavy blow to the Allies, allowing China and the Allies to defeat the Allies as soon as possible.  But at the same time, it also posed a huge threat to Germany.  The strength of the Chinese Navy has become the well-deserved number one in the world. In addition, the strength of the Chinese Army is not inferior to that of the German Army, and the strength of the Chinese Air Force far exceeds that of the German Air Force.  In comparison, from the perspective of military strength, Germany is no longer comparable to China.  As for industrial strength, from the current point of view, Germany and China are about the same.  However, China itself has an extremely large land area, and now it occupies India and Australia. This makes China have a lot of resources, and unlike Germany, it needs to import everything from abroad.  The most important thing is that once China defeats the United States, it will definitely plunder a large amount of wealth and industrial equipment from the United States.  The industrial strength of the United States ranks first in the world. Their industrial equipment and wealth are also coveted by Germany. If the Chinese vacate the United States, China's industrial strength will experience an explosive growth, and it will definitely be far away by then.  More than Germany's.  It is delusional for Germany to compete with China for world hegemony!

    In the study of Kaiser Wilhelm II, the fireplace was burning brightly and the study was very warm.  But the atmosphere seemed very depressing.  Kaiser Wilhelm II's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip from his face.  Compared with the Chinese navy's easy victory in the naval battle in the Bahamas, William II probably hoped that China would suffer a disastrous defeat in this naval battle.However, the Chinese Navy seems to have once again given the world a big surprise this time, wiping out the combined fleet of the US and British navies with minimal losses.  When he thought of the German navy's disastrous defeat in the North Sea Battle, Kaiser Wilhelm II became very jealous of China!

    "Marshal Tirpitz, the Chinese have used a new weapon in the Bahamas. Is it possible for us to build the same weapon?" Kaiser Wilhelm II looked at the Minister of the Navy, Marshal Tirpitz!

    "Your Majesty, through a German engineer who is still working in China, we have obtained some information about this weapon of the Chinese! The Chinese call this new type of warship an aircraft carrier, which is a type of aircraft carrier that is specially used to take off and land aircraft on the sea.  warships. In the Battle of the Bahamas, the Chinese Navy relied on four such aircraft carriers and dispatched more than 300 aircraft to sink or severely damage the battleships of the US-UK combined fleet!" said Navy Minister Tirpitz!  .  In the process of China's rise, it has received a lot of help from Germany.  At the beginning, China hired a lot of scientists and engineers from Germany.  After the war broke out, most of the German scientists and engineers returned to Germany, but some of them still stayed in China and became Chinese nationals.

    The German intelligence agency has contacts with some of them, so it can obtain some Chinese intelligence from them!

    "Although this is just a warship for fighter planes to take off and land at sea, without design drawings, if Germany wants to build it successfully, it will take at least two to three years!" Marshal Tirpitz said.  Although the principle of an aircraft carrier seems simple, there are still many problems that need to be overcome during construction.  China also spent a lot of effort to overcome these difficulties and built the 'Kunlun' aircraft carrier as an experimental aircraft carrier for the Chinese Navy. Then it designed the 'Emeishan class' based on the 'Kunlun' aircraft carrier.  Aircraft carrier!

    "Is it that difficult?" William II frowned.  In his opinion, fighter planes take off from airports on land, and now they just move the airport to the sea. With Germany's industrial strength, can't they still be developed?

    "Your Majesty, if we can obtain the construction drawings of the aircraft carrier from the Chinese, we may be able to save a lot of time. But if we have to explore it ourselves, it will take at least two years!" Marshal Tirpitz  Said!

    "Father, we immediately contact the Chinese and ask them to give us the blueprints of the aircraft carrier! Just like when we asked them to give us the blueprints of the aircraft, they will definitely not dare not give it to us. Otherwise, we will fight with the Allied Powers  Unite to deal with them!" Crown Prince William immediately said!  He is also full of jealousy for the Chinese Navy's naval victory this time, and he is very coveted for China's endless advanced weapons.  In his view, Germany helped China before its rise, so China should be grateful now. China should give Germany whatever it wants!  To say otherwise would be ungrateful!

    "Friedrich, shut up!" Kaiser Wilhelm II roared angrily.  Crown Prince William immediately shut up!

    "Your Royal Highness, the Chinese may not accept our coercion now! They have already won the naval battle in the Bahamas, and it may only take a few months to defeat the United States! By then, China's millions of army and navy troops in North America will  We have already freed up our hands, even if we join forces with the Allied Powers, there is no guarantee that we can defeat China!" said General Falkenhayn, the German Chief of Staff.  Because the German army's recent performance has been poor, his military rank has always been general, not marshal.  Moreover, there have been recent rumors that Kaiser Wilhelm II intends to let Hindenburg succeed him as the German Chief of Staff, which makes General Falkenhayn very worried!

    Crown Prince William¡¯s face suddenly turned livid. In his opinion, China has undoubtedly strengthened its wings and can no longer be coerced by Germany.  Germany, on the other hand, is breeding tigers!

    "Your Majesty, the Chinese Ambassador to Germany met with me today. He conveyed the wishes of the Chinese emperor and government, hoping that we can continue the war!" German Prime Minister Hollweger also said!

    "No, we should warn the Chinese that unless they are willing to hand over the aircraft carrier drawings to us, we will stop the war with the Allies!" Crown Prince William jumped out again!

    "Friedrich, if you don't shut up, get out of here!" Kaiser Wilhelm II roared angrily!
