    The main fleet of the Chinese Navy, a huge strike group composed of 34 battleships and four aircraft carriers, entered the English Channel and headed for the Strait of Dover. This immediately attracted the attention of Germany!  You know, at this moment the German Army is landing in the UK through the Strait of Dover, and all logistical supplies are being transported to the UK through the Strait of Dover!  If the Strait of Dover is cut off by the Chinese, then Germany's nearly one million troops in the UK will become a rootless tree. Once China wants to go to war with Germany, then those German troops will become a turtle in the urn!

    "Your Excellency Marshal, the situation is very bad. Except for a few small warships left to protect the logistics supply line, the Chinese have all entered the English Channel. It is expected that the Chinese will arrive at the Strait of Dover by noon tomorrow, and  It is possible to enter the North Sea! By then, our sea lanes with the United Kingdom will be cut off by the Chinese, which is very disadvantageous for us!" said Admiral Franz von Hipper, commander of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet.  .  After Admiral Reinhard Scheer was martyred in the Battle of the North Sea, Admiral Hipper became the commander of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet.  However, the German Navy's High Seas Fleet at that time was severely damaged and had completely become an existing fleet!  Fortunately, the British Navy also suffered great misfortune. The main force was wiped out by the Chinese Navy, and now it has been annexed by the German Navy!

    "So, what is the goal of the Chinese? If they attack us, can we win?" German Navy Minister Marshal Tirpitz said with a gloomy face.  The main force of the Chinese Navy entered the English Channel in a large scale, putting heavy pressure on the German Navy!

    "Your Excellency, Marshal, we currently do not have the strength to fight the Chinese! The Chinese have deployed 34 battleships, including 4 powerful 'Tang-class' battleships and 5 'Han-class' battleships, while ours has a total of only 13  There are only half of the Chinese battleships and 4 battlecruisers! Among them, there is only one 'Bavaria-class' battleship that can compete with the Chinese 'Tang-class' battleships! If we start a war, we will probably  Defeated!" Admiral Franz von Hipper said!

    "Your Excellency, Marshal, our chances of winning are indeed very small! The Chinese are coming this time, and we are probably no match for them! In terms of battleships alone, we are only half as powerful as the Chinese! What's more, the Chinese have four more powerful ships  These four aircraft carriers carry at least 300 aircraft, two-thirds of which are torpedo attack aircraft and dive bombers that can pose a fatal threat to warships. If the Chinese dispatch carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier,  We are likely to annihilate the entire army!" Admiral Benke also said.  He is the Chief of Staff of the High Seas Fleet!

    "Hell, how could this happen? What are the Chinese crazy about? If we add the British Navy, can we withstand the Chinese attack? As for the Chinese aircraft carriers, we can use naval aviation or even the air force to deal with them! In addition, we can use the naval aviation or even the air force to deal with them!  , We also have a lot of submarines in the North Sea! If we fight the Chinese hard, we may not necessarily fail in the end!" Marshal Bohr, the German Naval Chief of Staff, said with some annoyance!  This move of the Chinese Navy has indeed pushed the Germans into a corner. If they fight the Chinese Navy, the German Navy will probably be wiped out. If they avoid the war, Germany's reputation will be greatly affected!

    "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, although the British still have 19 naval battleships, these battleships are just ordinary 'dreadnought' battleships, and there is not a single super battleship. And among the Chinese battleships, half of them are super battleships.  Above! As for the fighter planes of the Naval Aviation and Air Force, due to the range problem, the airborne time of our fighters is not as good as that of the Chinese, and the performance of the fighter planes and the quality of the pilots are also worse. If a battle occurs, we may not be able to win!  In addition, even if we can fight with the Chinese, we will both suffer losses, or even die together! We can't defeat the Chinese! The Chinese also have a Pacific Fleet, and six more 'Hanxin-class' battleships are transporting treasure back to the country! Finally, according to  The news we have received is that the Chinese are still secretly building more powerful battleships, which are expected to be put into service by the end of the year. The Chinese's new aircraft carrier will also be put into service by the end of the year. The gap between us and the Chinese is too big. If we fight for consumption, we  They are no match for the Chinese!" General Franz von Hipper said with some frustration!

    The generals of the German navy were silent for a while.  Indeed, compared with China, the gap between the German Navy and China is getting wider and wider. It is not easy to defeat China!  They did not want to go to war with China before making preparations. However, the conflict between the armies of both sides in the UK has further intensified the conflict between the two sides. If not handled well, a war is very likely to break out.  The German Navy will be the first to be attacked by China.

    "Your Majesty is here!" At this time, the guard outside the conference room doorSinging loudly.  The generals in the conference room stood up with solemn expressions on their faces!

    Kaiser Wilhelm II walked into the conference room, followed by Crown Prince Wilhelm, Prime Minister Holweg, Army Minister and Army Chief of Staff Field Marshal Falkenhayn, and Foreign Minister Stresemann.  William II's face was as gloomy as if he could drip water. He already knew the news that the Chinese navy had entered the English Channel in large numbers and was approaching the Strait of Dover.

    "Have you contacted the Chinese? How did they reply?" William II asked directly after sitting down.

    "Your Majesty, the Chinese replied that they were conducting routine military exercises and did not intend to target any country!" said Navy Minister Marshal Tirpitz.  However, everyone here is not a fool. How could they not realize that the Chinese are obviously perfunctory?

    "Damn yellow-skinned monkey!" Crown Prince William cursed fiercely!

    "If a war breaks out, will the navy be able to withstand the Chinese attack?" William II looked at Marshal Tirpitz and asked word for word!  Although he was very clear about the strength of the German Navy, he still hoped to get an answer from Marshal Tirpitz!  Of course, this answer may make him very disappointed!

    "Your Majesty, the navy does not yet have the strength to fight a decisive battle with the Chinese! If possible, we should avoid a war with the Chinese!" Marshal Tirpitz said bravely!

    A trace of deep disappointment flashed in the eyes of Kaiser Wilhelm II. However, he could also understand that since the Battle of the North Sea, the development momentum of the German Navy was suddenly curbed. On the other hand, the Chinese Navy has been growing at a high speed.  Develop and become stronger and stronger!  Now, the gap between the two sides is getting wider and wider, which has directly caused Germany to be in an extremely disadvantageous position in this conflict!

    "Your Excellency, Chief of General Staff, is the Army confident of defeating the Chinese in Britain?" Kaiser Wilhelm II turned to Field Marshal Falkenhayn, Minister of War and Chief of Staff.

    "Your Majesty, if the navy cannot ensure the smooth flow of the coastline, the army has no possibility of defeating the Chinese!" Marshal Falkenhayn replied directly!  The combat power of the German Army is not stronger than that of the Chinese Army. To be precise, it is slightly worse.  If the logistics supply line cannot be guaranteed, then there will be no chance of winning!  Of course, considering that the Navy cannot guarantee the needs of the Army, Marshal Falkenhayn does not mind passing the responsibility to the Navy!

    ¡°Since military means cannot solve the problem, let¡¯s resolve the dispute through diplomatic means!¡± William II said.  There is no doubt that this is a great shame for Germany and even himself!  Since its unification, Germany has been striving to become a world power.  But now, Germany wants to bow to the Chinese, which makes him resist from the bottom of his heart!  However, being an emperor is not that easy. In addition to having extraordinary talents, you also need to know how to be forbearing.  But now, doesn't Germany just need to be patient and be a coward?

    "Father, we can't do this. If we shrink in front of the Chinese, what will other countries think of us?" Crown Prince William strongly objected!

    "Shut up, you have no place to speak here!" William II roared, like an angry lion, his eyes full of anger!

    Crown Prince William was stunned for a moment, then immediately shut up!  He knew that William II was really angry!  William II could not bear to bow to the Chinese this time.  The anger has been suppressed all the time. If he didn't know the situation, he would probably hit the muzzle of the gun himself!

    "Your Majesty, the government will immediately contact the Chinese to try to resolve this conflict through diplomatic means and try not to let the situation escalate! But what is our bottom line?" Prime Minister Holweg asked.

    "This conflict is just an accident! It's best for both of us to ignore it and just let it go!" Kaiser Wilhelm II hesitated and then said.  If he wants the Chinese to apologize and compensate, he knows that this is simply impossible!  And it is impossible for Germany to admit that the fault of this conflict lies with them.  Therefore, the best outcome of this conflict is to let it end!

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Holweg and Foreign Minister Stresemann have already understood what Wilhelm II meant!

    "As for the navy, be prepared for battle! Although we place our hope in peacefully resolving this conflict, we cannot relax because of this! If the Chinese are unwilling to give in, then we cannot be afraid of them!" William II  Said!

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" the German Navy generals replied one after another!  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
