    The Chinese navy and the German navy fired salutes and saluted each other in the Strait of Dover, which represented that this time the conflict between China and Germany in the UK was resolved peacefully, which made everyone in Germany breathe a sigh of relief.  Kaiser Wilhelm II was also very fortunate that the situation did not deteriorate. Otherwise, Germany would face an even more cruel situation.  Of course, William II also knew that China is not taking action against Germany now entirely because China has not yet digested the fruits of victory in the war.  When China has digested these fruits of victory and is ready for battle again, it will be time for the final decisive battle between China and Germany!  Of course, Germany will not sit still and wait for death. Germany will also try its best to increase its strength in order to completely defeat China in future wars and gain the world hegemony that Germany has always dreamed of!

    The only one who is dissatisfied is probably Crown Prince William.  Although he knows that China is very powerful, this time the conflict between China and Germany is resolved peacefully, which is a great thing for Germany!  But Crown Prince William, who has always disliked China, does not think so. He often declares to others in private that this time the conflict was resolved peacefully simply because Germany did not want the situation to escalate!  Otherwise, the cooperation of the German Navy and Air Force can completely keep the main force of China's Haji in the Strait of Dover and the North Sea.  Of course, the Germans are not fools. Except for some people who intend to flatter Crown Prince William, the rest of them completely sneered at Crown Prince William's statement!  Later, William II summoned Crown Prince William and scolded him with his eyes. Only then did Crown Prince William become more honest and stop making random remarks!

    Field Marshal Falkenhayn, the German Army Minister and Chief of the General Staff, also ordered the German Army in the UK to evacuate from the areas where it confronts the Chinese Army to reduce conflicts between the two sides and avoid another military conflict that would affect the situation between China and Germany.  relation!  Of course, the 2nd and 3rd German Army Corps in the UK will not fail to comply with this!  In fact, they also suffered considerable pressure when confronting the Chinese Army!  Once a war breaks out, the retreat will inevitably be cut off, and they will also be attacked by the Chinese Army's armored forces. This is also a very dangerous situation for the German Army's 2nd Army and 3rd Army.  If a war breaks out, they will most likely be defeated!

    The one who was most impressed was the German Navy!  When dozens of huge capital ships and four aircraft carriers of the Chinese Navy passed in front of them, these killing machines made of cold steel were enough to make every German naval officer feel shock and fear deep in their hearts.  !  Compared with the Chinese Navy, with its huge warships and those fighter planes that cover the sky, the German Navy is relatively weak!  Although the German Navy believes that if a war breaks out, they will fight to the death. In this case, even the Chinese will never get anything good.  However, it is undeniable that even if they can severely damage the main force of the Chinese Navy, they will definitely pay an unimaginable price and may even be annihilated!  By then, if the Chinese navy dispatched from the mainland rushes to Europe, the German coastline will be blocked again!

    After the German Navy Minister Marshal Tirpitz returned to Berlin, he submitted a long-term construction plan for the German Navy to Kaiser Wilhelm II. The plan had a total of two phases, each phase lasting five years!  If the first stage is completed, then the German Navy will have the strength to compete with the Chinese Navy!  Marshal Tirpitz pointed out in the plan that in the next five years, the German Navy will build more than ten aircraft carriers, and the size of the aircraft carrier-based aircraft force will be expanded to 600 to 800 aircraft. In addition, the German Navy's Army Air Force fighter jets will be  The number of torpedo attack aircraft and dive bombers must also be increased to 1,500. As for other types of warships, they should be built as little as possible and all resources should be used to build aircraft carriers!  Marshal Tirpitz believes that this is the only shortcut for the German Navy to catch up with the Chinese Navy.  If the first phase of the plan can be completed, then the German Navy may be able to base itself on its homeland and resist the attack of the Chinese Navy!  But to fight far away from home and defeat the Chinese Navy, this is somewhat unrealistic for the German Navy!  In addition, in the second phase of the plan, in the next five years, the German Navy will build aircraft carriers and fighter jets that surpass the Chinese Navy, so that the German Navy will have the strength to defeat the Chinese Navy!  However, Marshal Tirpitz was not optimistic about the second stage of the plan.  It's not that he has no confidence in the German Navy, but because China simply won't give Germany that long!  With China's strength, five years is enough time to digest the fruits of victory in this war!  By then, China will definitely launch a war against Germany, and the German navy will not have that long to develop!  Therefore, the German Navy can only strive to improve its strength as much as possible before the outbreak of war to increase the chance of winning in future decisive battles at sea!

    Of course, these plans of the German Navy require huge amounts of money to support them.  These huge sums of money are evenThis makes it difficult for the German government to afford it.  However, after some thought, Kaiser Wilhelm II agreed with the plan submitted by the Admiralty.  After all, without a strong navy, Germany will once again be at a disadvantage in future wars!  Once the European coastline is blocked, Germany's overseas communication lines will be cut off, and Germany's war potential will be greatly affected.  Germany will probably lose the war!  In addition, the navy is an offensive branch. If Germany wants to defeat China, it will be impossible without a strong navy!  Therefore, even though Germany has been tightening its belt in the past few years, Kaiser Wilhelm II still decided to build a powerful navy even if it means selling iron.

    In addition, the British government has also been under great pressure!  In order to end the war as soon as possible and focus on restoring the economy and developing military strength, the German government asked Britain to surrender to China. In this case, China would stop the war against Britain and start peace negotiations!  The member states of the Allied Powers can't wait to eat the cake of victory this time, but the British's procrastination and the Chinese's insistence force them to wait patiently, which makes all countries very dissatisfied!  The determination of the British government has also been shaken. Without the support of the Germans, they would not have the strength to confront China!  However, something happened next, which forced the British to lower their noble heads and formally declare their surrender to China, and the world war came to an end!

    At 9:15 a.m. on July 6, Beijing time, when the main force of the Chinese navy was heading towards the Strait of Dover, Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang met with a special person in the reception room. During this period, a major general from the Military Intelligence Bureau  The officer has been accompanying this person, which undoubtedly means that their identities are very important!

    "Lord Tang, let me introduce to you that this is Mr. Arthur Griffiths, the founder and leader of the Irish Sinn F¨¦in Party. Mr. Griffiths, this is Tang Shaoyi, the Imperial Minister of Foreign Affairs. Lord Tang, if  If Ireland wants to get help from the empire, it must first get the support of Mr. Tang!" said Major General Zhou Yuan, Director of the European Department of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

    "Master Tang, I am very happy to see you!" Arthur Griffith's face was full of smiles, and his eyes looking at Tang Shaoyi were full of hope and desire!

    "Mr. Griffith, please sit down and welcome to China!" Tang Shaoyi said with a smile!  Of course he already knew the identity of Arthur Griffith.  The Military Intelligence Agency sent him information on Arthur Griffiths and the Irish Sinn F¨¦in party three days ago!

    Irish Sinn F¨¦in, founded in 1905, is a political party organization established by the Irish Volunteer Army. The purpose of this political party is to overthrow British rule in Ireland by force and achieve Irish independence.  However, Britain is too powerful. Although the Irish have been fighting for independence, they have been brutally suppressed every time.  The British also showed no mercy when killing these rebels.  However, even the brutal suppression by the British did not make these Irish people surrender. They were still fighting against the British.  And now, with Britain's defeat in the World War, this gives the Irish an excellent opportunity!

    Of course, even a weakened Britain is not something the Irish can resist.  If Ireland wants to be independent, it must get external help!  And China has become the only choice for the Irish!  The Irish had also considered Germany before, but the Germans were now wearing the same pants as the British, and the Germans would definitely not help the Irish.  Therefore, China has become the last hope for the Irish!

    Of course, it is also very beneficial for China to support the Irish and establish an opponent beside the British when the British fall to Germany!  In addition, although the Irish are weak, if China can station troops in Ireland and deploy powerful land, sea and air forces, it can pose a direct threat to Britain. Neither the St. George's Strait nor the Irish Sea can stop the Chinese army!

    "Master Tang, the Irish have been resisting the brutal rule of the British in Ireland for hundreds of years. We hope to get rid of the enslavement of the British and become an independent country! China is the most powerful country in the world.  Ireland hopes that China will lend us a helping hand!" Arthur Griffith said sincerely!  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
