    "Oh God! How could the British do this? That's wealth worth 200 million pounds and 4 billion Reichsmarks! It was actually taken away by the Chinese!" Kaiser Wilhelm II said with red eyes!  Now he is almost driven crazy by Germany's poor economy, but the Chinese can easily obtain such a large amount of wealth, which makes him feel deep envy and jealousy from the bottom of his heart!

    "Your Majesty, what should we do now? It is said that the Chinese are already transporting this wealth from Birmingham to Liverpool! And the Chinese advanced battleship 'Hanxin-class' is already berthed in Liverpool! If we wait until this wealth is sent to the warship  If so, then we won't have any chance!" Marshal Falkenhayn asked!

    "Father, we should immediately notify the Chinese and ask them to hand over this wealth to us! The British have surrendered to us, so these wealth should belong to Germany! Even if they cannot fully possess it, a large part of it should  It's ours! We can't let the Chinese just monopolize it!" Crown Prince William jumped up and down!  Even if Germany only gets half of the wealth of four billion marks, it is still very impressive. How many elite armored forces can be formed and how many advanced aircraft carriers can be built!

    "The Chinese will not hand over this wealth so easily! Come here, please prime minister, foreign minister and navy minister, I have important matters to discuss with them!" Kaiser Wilhelm II said.  He knew that it was almost impossible to get the Chinese to spit out the fat they had eaten.  If it were Germany, they would definitely not do this!  However, if William II was to give up like this, then he would be very unwilling!  The wealth of 200 million pounds falling into the hands of the Chinese will undoubtedly further widen the gap between Germany and China!  This will make Germany's path to world hegemony even more difficult!

    The palace guards immediately went to fetch the Prime Minister, the Foreign Secretary and the Navy Minister.  And Kaiser Wilhelm II was thinking of ways to allow Germany to gain enough benefits this time!

    "Marshal Falkenhayn, if a war breaks out between us and China in the UK, can we defeat them?" Kaiser Wilhelm II asked!

    Falkenhayn was shocked. If William II wanted to use war, it would not be easy for Germany to win. He quickly said: "Your Majesty, I suggest not to use war for the time being! Now, we  There are only more than 600,000 troops deployed in the UK. The 3rd Army is still continuing to land, but due to insufficient transportation capacity, the speed of landing cannot be guaranteed! The Chinese already have two armies and thirty infantry divisions in the UK.  The total strength has reached almost one million! If a war breaks out, our chances of winning are very small!" Marshal Falkenhayn said it very euphemistically. Judging from the comparison of the current military strength of the two sides in the UK, Germany's chances of winning are not very small.  , but there is almost no chance of winning!

    "Your Excellency, Marshal, the British should be on our side! Although the British Army's combat effectiveness is a little worse, they have almost two million troops and can still have a great effect! Even if they are not as good as the Chinese elite troops  , but compared with those ordinary infantry divisions, there shouldn't be a big gap!" Crown Prince William somewhat disagreed with Marshal Falkenhayn's statement.

    "Your Royal Highness, don't forget that the Chinese navy is at an absolute advantage! If they are willing, they can immediately blockade the English Channel, the Strait of Dover and the North Sea. By then we will lose contact with the United Kingdom. Without supplies, we  Even more so, they are no match for them!" Marshal Falkenhayn said.  If the German Army still has the strength to compete with the Chinese Army, then compared with the Chinese Navy, the German Navy is not at the same level at all!

    Crown Prince William was speechless. In modern military operations, logistical support is very important!  If the logistics supply line is cut off by the Chinese navy, no matter how powerful the German army is, it will not be a match for the Chinese!

    German Prime Minister Holweg, Foreign Minister Stresemann, and Navy Minister Tirpitz quickly rushed to Gonlu Palace.  Although they were having lunch when they received the notice, they all put down their knives and forks in unison and rushed to the palace as soon as possible.

    After arriving at Konlu Palace, on the way to the study of Kaiser Wilhelm II, someone had already told them the specific situation!  Several people are filled with envy, jealousy and hatred for China's acquisition of wealth worth 200 million pounds in the UK!  They are also eager to get a piece of the pie from the Chinese, but they are also very aware of how difficult it is!

    "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to make the Chinese submit! This war is inherently a robbery. It is absolutely impossible for the Chinese to hand over what they have already grabbed! Unless our force can be stronger than the Chinese,  However, now it seems that this is somewhat unlikely!¡± Prime Minister Hollweger said.Some people said in frustration!  In the final analysis, all this needs to be guaranteed by strength. If Germany's strength can crush China, it can directly ask China to hand over all its wealth, otherwise it will start a war with China!  However, Germany's current national policy is to try to avoid conflicts with China and delay the possibility of war between the two sides as much as possible!  Therefore, it is very difficult for Germany to obtain this wealth, and it is almost certain that it is impossible!

    "Your Majesty, there is no way to deal with this matter through diplomacy! The Chinese will not compromise!" Foreign Minister Stresemann said directly!  Obviously, there is no possibility of spitting out the fat meat that has been eaten by the Chinese!

    ¡°Are we just going to watch the Chinese swallow up all this wealth?¡± Crown Prince William had blue veins on his face and was a little out of his mind!

    "Your Majesty the Crown Prince, to be precise, we have no choice! The Chinese 'Hanxin-class' battleship has been docked in Liverpool. As long as these treasures are loaded on the ship, they can be transported back to the country! The 'Hanxin-class' battleship is  A very powerful battleship developed by the Chinese. Its overall combat power is not much worse than our 'Bavaria-class' battleship, especially the speed, which is very likely to be more than 26 knots! At the beginning, the Chinese claimed that the 'Hanxin-class' was a battleship  Cruisers, not battleships, have confused all countries around the world! This battleship fully possesses the speed of a battlecruiser and the firepower and armor of a battleship. The Imperial Navy currently has no way to retain the Chinese'Hanxin-class'  Come down!" said the Navy Minister, Marshal Tirpitz.

    "How about using a submarine or a plane?" Marshal Falkenhayn asked!

    Marshal Tirpitz shook his head, and then said: "Most of our submarines are deployed in the North Sea, and there are almost none in the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea. If we dispatch submarines now, we will not be able to catch up! In addition, the Chinese's Han Xin class  'The battleship is very strong and has very good lightning resistance. As long as it is not besieged by a submarine, it is very difficult to sink such a battleship! With the high-speed performance of this battleship, the submarine can be easily thrown away! As for  Aircraft, the Navy only has about a hundred torpedo attack aircraft and dive bombers that can threaten the Chinese warships. However, due to range issues, we cannot attack them! In addition, the Chinese have absolute air superiority, with their four  The fighter jets carried on the aircraft carrier are enough to ensure that the entire sky over the UK is under their control! Even if we send planes to the UK now, it is too late! What's more, a fierce military conflict with the Chinese now will be very detrimental to us.  !¡±

    Kaiser Wilhelm II was indeed unwilling, but he had no choice but to accept the result.  Today's Germany does not have the strength to defeat China. If a war starts now, it will be very detrimental to Germany!

    Crown Prince William also calmed down, but the resentment in his heart did not decrease, but increased a lot.  He despises China and hates China from the bottom of his heart!  In addition, Germany has suffered losses at the hands of the Chinese several times, and he hates China even more!

    "Let's let the ambassador to China contact the Chinese and find a way to let them share some benefits. After all, if you eat alone, it will cause public outrage! If necessary, we can use a little military pressure. However, the prerequisite must be grasped  You must not let the gun go off, causing a military conflict or even war between the two of us!" said Kaiser Wilhelm II!

    "Yes. Your Majesty!" Foreign Minister Stresemann nodded. This is the only method he can use now.

    At 8 pm on July 2, Beijing time, German Ambassador to China August von Klind visited Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi overnight. Although Ambassador Klind was very speechless about the order issued by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he even  A little angry, but there was no other way, so I had to obey obediently and head to Tang Shaoyi's mansion!

    "Your Excellency, Foreign Minister, Germany is seriously concerned about the Chinese army robbing the British royal family's wealth in Birmingham! Now that Britain has surrendered to Germany, the war can come to an end! Then, all the wealth of Britain should belong to  Germany, of course, we are allies, and China also shares in this wealth! Therefore, the German government hopes that our two countries can square these wealth!" August von Klind said with a serious face!

    "Ah? Your Excellency Ambassador, where did you hear this news? Why didn't I know it at all? So far, the imperial government has not received relevant information. However, the military's operation in Birmingham is just an incident.  It's just a combat operation, and it doesn't involve the wealth of the British royal family!" Tang Shaoyi replied!  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
