Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After the Beijing Peace Conference, delegations from various countries returned home one after another!  After all, the delegations sent by various countries to Beijing are basically the prime ministers or Prime Ministers of the cabinet, and the participants include the foreign minister and other important ministers, and even the emperor or crown prince of the empire!  These important people obviously cannot leave their country for a long time!  Therefore, after reaching a peace treaty with the main member states of the Allied Powers, important figures from each country left China one after another and returned to their respective countries!  As for the follow-up details, it is the responsibility of each country¡¯s ambassador to China!

    The German delegation was the first to leave China.  Although Germany has benefited from this war, it is second only to China!  However, this doesn't seem to satisfy them!  More importantly, the contradiction between Germany and China has further intensified during this peace conference!  The two sides were once at war with each other and almost started a war!  If Germany had not chosen to compromise at the critical moment, perhaps the war would have broken out!  Of course, this kind of compromise made Germany very dissatisfied. They felt that their face had been greatly damaged, especially China's threat of war against Germany, which made everyone in Germany expressed anger.  If Germany hadn't known that the current strength gap between the two sides was quite large, the two sides might have already entered a state of hostility.  And the relationship between the two began to deteriorate, which was inevitable!

    Of course, China¡¯s foreign strategy has also begun to change!  Although the conflicts between China and Germany have become more and more serious before, they can still be regarded as allies after all!  However, this time, as the Allies have fallen, China and Germany no longer have a common enemy, and for the sake of their own interests, the differences between the two sides will become bigger and bigger!  Therefore, from now on, for the sake of the empire, China must begin to comprehensively suppress Germany!  This will safeguard China's leading position and ensure China's interests!

    What is alarming is that when the German delegation left, the delegation of the Ottoman Turkish Empire also left with the German delegation.  Although the Ottoman Turkish Empire gained the entire Caucasus territory in this war, it also received a lot of war compensation!  However, neither Sultan Mohammed V of the Ottoman Turkish Empire nor Prime Minister Enver Pasha were satisfied!  During the peace conference, representatives of the Ottoman Turkish Empire proposed to China to take back the island of Cyprus and Iraq and other Middle East regions occupied by China!  However, this was rejected by China!  The island of Cyprus has an important geographical location, guarding the entire eastern Mediterranean region, and China will certainly not let it go!  As for Iraq, it has now become an important oil-producing area for China. It is even more impossible to return it to the Ottoman Turkish Empire!  Therefore, this made the Ottoman Turkish Empire believe that they were bullied by China and were very dissatisfied with China's actions.  It¡¯s just that due to China¡¯s powerful military deterrence, I dare not show it easily!  When the Germans learned of this situation and showed some kindness, the Ottoman Turkish Empire naturally colluded with the Germans!  After all, Germany originally had a very good relationship with the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Now the two sides have a common enemy, which further promotes their alliance!

    In addition to the Ottoman Turkish Empire, Germany also attracted the attention of the Kingdom of Romania.  Although the Kingdom of Romania is weak, it is an important oil producer among European countries!  The Kingdom of Romania's oil resources make Germany salivate. Last year, the Kingdom of Romania's oil production reached millions of tons!  In large oil fields such as Plosht Oilfield, if investment in equipment is increased, the output can be further increased.  As Germany's demand for oil increases, but the world's major oil fields are in the hands of China, the only places where Germany can obtain oil are the Kingdom of Romania and the Baku oil fields that have just fallen to the Ottoman Turkish Empire!  This made Germany desperately try to win over the Kingdom of Romania and the Ottoman Empire.

    The Austro-Hungarian Empire¡¯s delegation finally left China. During this period, the Austro-Hungarian Empire¡¯s Crown Prince Archduke Ferdinand and Prime Minister Mario Weber negotiated with China many times on behalf of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The two sides reached a series of economic and military agreements.  cooperation agreement!  Two of them are particularly eye-catching, that is, China will sell 300 T5 'Cheetah' medium tanks, 700 T4 'Wolf' light tanks and 500 Z4 wheeled armored vehicles to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and send instructors  , Assist the Austro-Hungarian Empire to form three to four armored brigades according to Chinese standards to enhance the military strength of the Austro-Hungarian Empire!  In addition, China will also provide refined oil products to the Austro-Hungarian Empire at low prices to ensure the Austro-Hungarian Empire¡¯s demand for oil!  And this will undoubtedly further strengthen the relationship between China and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and also pose a greater threat to Germany!

    After the peace conference, the empire's work began to return to normal!  Troops dispatched overseas also began to return to the country one after another.  In particular, the main force of the Imperial Navy has also begun to withdraw into the country in a planned manner!  However, those troops who are still in the defeated country will have to wait until they are about toThey will not be evacuated until a batch of war reparations is paid.

    On November 5, Wang Yuze once again held a meeting. The attendees of the meeting were mainly military giants. From the cabinet, only Prime Minister Wu Tingfang, Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi and the newly appointed Colonial Secretary Xu Shichang participated!  The main issue to be resolved in this meeting is the empire's future military deployment in the Pacific!  The Empire's Military Intelligence Agency has received news that the German Navy is gathering a large number of transport ships and some warships to form an ocean-going fleet, and the destination of this fleet is none other than the German colonies in the Pacific!  The Military Intelligence Agency has judged that Germany will build a large number of fortifications, ports and airports in its colonies in the Pacific, which will undoubtedly pose a huge threat to China!

    "Your Majesty, it seems that the Germans are eager to fight us! Otherwise, they would not be so anxious to build fortifications on the Pacific islands!" said Marshal Cai Yun, Chief of General Staff!

    "Your Majesty, how about we directly dispatch a fleet to intercept this German fleet? Although our main fleet is still in the Atlantic Ocean, with the strength of the Pacific Fleet, intercepting this German fleet is not a problem!" Navy Minister Zhang Cheng  Said!

    "Forget it, if we intercept the German fleet now, we might directly trigger a war! The world war finally ended. Both the soldiers and the people are very tired. We need some time to recuperate!" Wang Yuze shook his head.  He shook his head!

    "Your Majesty, during the peace conference, I asked German Prime Minister Holweg that the empire was willing to exchange African colonies for those in the Pacific. However, this was rejected by German Prime Minister Holweg!  It can be seen that Germany attaches great importance to these colonies in the Pacific!" Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang said!

    "Although the German islands in the Pacific are not large in area, they are very widely distributed! And many of them can be built with airports and docks. If the Germans deploy combat aircraft, warships and submarines on these islands  If so, it will undoubtedly pose a great threat to us!" said Marshal Cai Yun, Chief of General Staff!

    Germany¡¯s colonies in the Pacific, before the war, mainly included Samoa and German Guinea!  It is located in the middle of the Polynesian Islands in the South Pacific, so it has always been known as the "Heart of Polynesia".  It consists of 12 islands, large and small, with a total area of ??3144 square kilometers.  There are two large main islands: one is Savai Island, covering an area of ??1,820 square kilometers; the other is Ubulu Island, covering an area of ??1,113 square kilometers.  It mainly consists of the Kaiser Wilhelm Territory in the northern half of New Guinea and the Bismarck Islands; the Bismarck Islands also include New Pomerania, now known as New Britain, and New Fort McClan, now known as New Ireland.  In addition to Samoa, the other German-owned islands in the Pacific were also administered by German New Guinea.  Such as the German Solomon Islands, the Caroline Islands, Palau, the Mariana Islands (excluding Guam, Guam is a Chinese colony), the Marshall Islands and Nauru.

    At this peace conference, Germany acquired New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Wallis and Futuna Islands that were originally owned by France.  As well as the Pitcairn Islands, Gilbert Islands and Tonga, which were originally British, this further expanded Germany's colonies in the Pacific!  Although most of these colonies are uninhabited places, they are indeed a rare foothold for Germany!  Germany can play a huge role in this!

    "Your Majesty, the General Staff believes that it is necessary for us to deploy enough powerful troops around these German colonies, especially the air force and navy. Among them, the air force is mainly based on long-range bombers and combat, and the navy is based on anti-submarine capabilities.  Mainly small battleships with powerful capabilities. Ensure that the military forces deployed by Germany in these colonies will not pose a threat to the empire!" said Marshal Cai Yun, Chief of the General Staff!

    Wang Yuze nodded. Germany¡¯s colonies in the Pacific are located exactly in the middle from China to Australia, and from China to North and South America!  This is also the area where Chinese warships and merchant ships mainly pass.  If Germany deploys aircraft and submarines in these areas, it will undoubtedly pose a great threat to China once war breaks out!

    "The General Staff and the three departments of the army, navy and air force are responsible for the specific plan. I have only one request, and that is that once a war breaks out, the imperial army can remove the military forces deployed by the Germans here as quickly as possible!" Imperial Emperor Wang Yuze  Said seriously!  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
