Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Crown Prince William shrank his neck, quickly lowered his head, and said no more.  However, a trace of deep resentment flashed in his eyes, not towards Kaiser Wilhelm II, but towards China!  Every time when the issue of China was discussed, as long as he expressed his opinions, he would be scolded by William II. This made him very dissatisfied, and his resentment towards China grew more and more!

    "Everyone, what do you think we should do now? Should we continue to fulfill our covenant with the Chinese and continue the war?" William II asked the German ministers after stopping Crown Prince William.  Germany now seems to be at a crossroads. No matter which choice is made, it cannot be said to be absolutely beneficial to Germany.

    "Your Majesty, the British and French have proposed to stop the war with us, and then the entire Western world will unite to deal with China! As long as we withdraw from France, Belgium and Russia, both parties can sign an armistice treaty. As for our occupied overseas colonies,  They can also be returned to us! People in Britain and France believe that China is their biggest enemy and also our enemy. The Eastern world wants to rise again and dominate the world. This is for us in the Western world and white people.  A huge disaster!" Prime Minister Hollweger said!

    "Hmph! What did those Anglo-Saxons and Gauls do in the first place? If they had opened their markets to us earlier, there would not have been a war! Now that we can't win, we want peace talks. How can it be so cheap?  Something!" Kaiser Wilhelm II said very displeasedly.  In the final analysis, this war is a war for the market. After Germany's reunification, its industrial strength developed rapidly. However, Germany's domestic market was small, and its overseas markets were under the control of old colonial countries such as Britain and France. In order to compete for more markets,  Germany can only use force!

    "Your Majesty, the territories of France, Belgium and Russia that Germany currently occupies were captured by the imperial soldiers who spent countless lives and blood. We must not just return them to them! Now the Allies can no longer hold on. No matter how hard we work,  If we use our strength, we may be able to defeat them!" said General Falkenhayn, Chief of the German General Staff.  Now northern and northeastern France, Belgium, and most of the western and southwestern Russia are under the control of Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. If these territories are returned to France, Belgium, and Russia, then all the efforts that Germany has put in before will be lost.  It¡¯s all in vain!  This is unacceptable to Germany!

    "Your Majesty, we must carefully consider this! Even if we make peace with the Allies, can we defeat the Chinese together? The Chinese now have the world's largest navy, and they can completely blockade the entire Europe.  In addition, with China's population resources, they can easily arm more than 20 million elite troops. These elite troops are enough to withstand the attacks of the entire Western world! As long as the Chinese can blockade us in Europe, we will gradually decline.  Let alone defeat the Chinese!" Navy Minister Marshal Tirpitz also refused to make peace with the Allies.

    Kaiser Wilhelm II began to think deeply. Indeed, if he turns to the Allies, Germany will give up all the benefits it has gained and will have to fight the powerful China.  Of course, if it can defeat China, Germany will definitely be able to share a lot of benefits in the future.  But what if the Chinese cannot be defeated?  Then Germany's losses will be even more severe!

    ¡°Prime Minister Holweg, what¡¯s your opinion?¡± Kaiser Wilhelm II asked.

    ¡°Your Majesty, if the Chinese can abide by the agreement they made with us and hand over all of Europe to us, then we can definitely continue the war.

    As long as we can gain the whole of Europe, we will have the strength to continue to confront China!  Prime Minister Hollweg said. After all, Europe is now the core of the world. Although many places have been scorched by war, as long as they recover, they can still gain industrial strength that is no worse than China. This will be the difference between Germany and China.  Capital for world hegemony!

    "But, will the Chinese still abide by the original agreement?" Kaiser Wilhelm II asked with some uncertainty.  After all, Germany used an armistice to force China to sign the original agreement. If the Chinese were unwilling to fulfill these agreements after the war, Germany would suffer heavy losses!

    "Your Majesty, we can only hope that the Chinese will abide by these agreements! After all, after the war, even if the Chinese win the war, their own strength will definitely be severely depleted. By then, China will not  We will engage in a large-scale war with Germany. And this is Germany¡¯s opportunity! To say the least, even if Germany lacks the strength to compete with China for world hegemony, we will at least be able to protect ourselves!" Tirpitz  The marshal suggested.  This is also a fact. Now China's development has surpassed Germany! In particular, China has snatched a large number of colonies from Britain and France, and has the resources of these colonies.With the support of sources, China's development will inevitably become faster and faster.  This will pose a huge threat to Germany.  If it can protect itself, it will be very good for Germany!

    Kaiser Wilhelm II frowned, he knew what Marshal Tirpitz meant.  If the war continues, even if it wins, Germany will probably not have enough strength to compete with China for world hegemony.  But if peace is made with the Allied Powers, the entire Western world will not be absolutely sure of victory, and Germany will suffer even more losses by then.  Since both of these choices are detrimental to Germany, Germany can only choose the one with relatively less harm!  If Germany can acquire all of Europe, it will still have the strength to compete with China for world hegemony.  Even if it only gains most of Europe, Germany will have the power to protect itself!  This is the most beneficial choice for Germany!

    "Well, if that's the case, then reply to the Chinese. The covenant is sacred and we will continue to fulfill our obligations under the covenant! However, find a way to get more benefits, various strategic materials and advanced equipment from the Chinese  The technology and drawings. Especially the design drawings of the Chinese aircraft carrier, we must find a way to get it!" William II said.  Germany and China have already acquired bomber technology and have begun to actively imitate it. As long as they can get the blueprints of aircraft carriers, they can form combat effectiveness.  This is very beneficial to Germany, and it will have greater capital when it confronts China in the future!

    "Yes, Your Majesty, the government will contact the Chinese side!" Prime Minister Holweg said.  However, he knows that with the current international situation, it is no longer so easy for Germany to blackmail China!

    "As for the army and navy, the army must prepare to launch large-scale operations to defeat the British and French coalition forces and bring the entire France under our rule! The navy must also start taking active actions and prepare to challenge the United Kingdom! As long as we can occupy more of Europe,  Only in the future will we have enough capital to confront the Chinese!" William II said.  France's industrial strength is also considered strong in Europe. If it can annex France, Germany's strength will undoubtedly reach a higher level. As for Britain, because it is across the strait, it may not be easy for Germany to swallow Britain. Even if the British navy  The same thing happens when you are hit hard!

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" Both the German Chief of General Staff, General Falkenhayn, and the Minister of the Navy, Marshal Tirpitz, replied!  Since the second half of last year, the German Army has begun to shift to defense to avoid a large-scale decisive battle with the British and French coalition forces.  In addition, strategic materials and weapons and equipment obtained from China have been stored in reserve. After half a year of rest, the German Army has the strength to launch a large-scale counterattack against the British and French coalition forces!  As long as spring comes, the German army will be able to launch an attack and even completely defeat the British and French forces.  As for the German Navy, although there are not many remaining battleships, it once again has the strength to challenge the British. Even if it cannot break through the British Navy's blockade of Germany, it can still cause some trouble to the British!

    After Kaiser Wilhelm II made his choice, Germany immediately took action.  It is still winter, but it does not hinder the operation of Germany's war machine.  Take advantage of the cold winter to prepare yourself. When spring comes, it will be time for the German army to launch a ground-breaking attack on the enemy!

    Madero, the capital of Spain, as a neutral country in this world war, Spain was not affected by the war, which caused many European wealthy people to go to Spain to escape the war.  This also accelerated the development of Spain to a certain extent.

    The Chinese Embassy in Spain welcomed a special guest today.  A Ford car drove through the gate from outside the embassy and did not stop until it reached the garage. Then two white men wearing suits and top hats accompanied by embassy staff entered the embassy. Chinese Ambassador to Spain Hu Weide  Stand at the door to greet you personally.

    "Welcome, Your Excellency Ambassador!" Ambassador Hu Weide said with a smile!

    "Thank you very much for meeting you, Ambassador!" A middle-aged white man said with a smile on his face.  His identity is Alex, the U.S. Ambassador to Spain.

    This time, it was under the orders of the US government that we came to contact the Chinese side.  At this point in the war, the United States has no hope of victory and may be destroyed at any time.  At this time, suing for peace with China has become the only option for the US government!
