In fact, when Basra boarded the ship, the Kaiser's envoy did not admit that he had come to the northwest for something, but only said that he was shouldering a special mission, because he carried a letter of introduction from the German Foreign Office, and since the German Foreign Office was on a business trip to the northwest, he paid a lot of money, and of course he brought it with him.

It just so happens that this one, which belongs to the navy, shoulders the heavy responsibility of training seafarers, and the captain is very concerned about this German diplomat, and does more exchanges on weekdays, when the ship crosses the Strait of Malacca and enters the South China Sea, perhaps because of the relationship between safety, the envoy took the initiative to inform the captain of the purpose of the visit, especially mentioning the Entente and the United States, aiming at certain actions in the northwest, so that the northwest can be more vigilant.

On the premise of not being sure whether this kind of news is true or false, the captain did not dare to slack off, but fortunately, there was a high-power radio on board, which was just able to contact the radio station set up by the Intelligence Bureau in Guangzhou, and then the news passed to Yang Yuanzhao after several turns. At this time, Yang Yuanzhao has basically confirmed that this piece of information is true.

After all, many of them already have signs, such as mobilizing foreign personnel, such as restricting products in the northwest, but why was this information told by the Germans, and they did not take the fastest way, but used manpower, Yang Yuanzhao more or less understood what the Germans were here for, and the Germans knew the actions of some Entente countries and the United States, which was certain, and did not choose the way of direct telegram. Instead, the envoy was sent to arrive in person, and the implication was already quite obvious. The Germans hoped to take advantage of this opportunity to form an alliance with the Northwest. Draw the Northwest into the camp of the Confederates.

There is no eternal covenant between countries, but there is an eternal fate, and there is already a war between the two blocs, even if Germany, which is in full swing in Europe, presses Britain, France and Russia, but in fact, Wilhelm II knows very well that this is just an initial tactical victory. If you want to turn a tactical victory into a strategic victory, it will take time, and taking Paris is the first step, if you can take Paris, and consolidate what you have gained, with the support of materials in the northwest, Germany may gain a certain advantage, but the Americans will enter the war. Sweep away this advantage.

As the world's second largest industrial power, the only thing Germany has to compete with is the United States, but there is a huge difference between Germany and the United States. The difference of almost double makes Germany understand that the United States is strong, and the more it understands. The more we know, the closer the Americans are to enter the war.

Within the United States. The Americans' unbridled conscription is becoming more and more assertive in international affairs. All prove this point, when the hostility between the two sides reaches a certain level, there is no suddenness between countries, unless it is like the northwest, constantly hiding things, so that there may be suddenness, between mature powers, any action can not be concealed, I am afraid the only uncertain thing is the time of sending troops.

According to the available information, as well as the attitude shown by the Kaiser's envoy, Yang Yuanzhao determined what the German envoy was doing, it seems that he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to let the Northwest go to the Allies' warships, if the United States is the last straw for Britain, a move that is enough to turn the situation around, the Northwest is also Germany's secret weapon, and in many respects it has been helped by the Northwest, and Germany also wants to make the Northwest go further, join the camp of the Allies, and increase more chances of victory for the Allies.

Like the United States, the position of China in the northwest is basically difficult to be directly attacked, maybe there is a Russia behind China, but the United States is separated from Europe by a vast Atlantic, even if Wilhelm II has ambitions, he cannot set foot in the United States before controlling the whole of Europe, or even digesting and absorbing, in this way, the United States is directly invincible, as long as it sends soldiers and troops to attack, the huge industrial total, so that the United States can easily do this.

It's been a few months since the start of the war, except for Germany's killing in all directions, the other allies, Austria-Hungary is extremely chaotic, even Russia can't resist it, not to mention Turkey and Italy, maybe in the Mediterranean, it can still rely on the navy to resist the French fleet, and the rest of the contribution to the Entente is basically zero, you know, France, which was pressed and beaten by Germany, sent a division casually, and killed several armies of Italy in the south, and the title of soft dough was crowned on the head of Italy, which made the Kaiser very helpless.

Looking at the world, the only one who can help Germany in battle, and has a status similar to that of the United States, is only the Northwest, and the Kaiser understands the strength of the Northwest, at least kill the Far East part of Russia, and even fight Russia on both sides with Germany, it can be done, as long as Germany can completely dismember Russia, or beat Russia to the point of immobility, and join China on the European continent, in this way, the two countries and the other forces of the Allies will combine and burst out of power, It is enough to neutralize the threat of the United States entering the battlefield, and then the Allies will have a chance to win.

Understanding is understanding, but the current Northwest is already a place with rules, even if Yang Yuanzhao's influence is very great, this kind of question that involves the national fortunes, and even whether the Northwest can develop better in the future, he thought about it for a long time, and decided to let everyone deal with it together.

A few days after the last high-level plenary meeting, the high-level leaders were once again entangled together, and the discussion was the issue of the German envoy this time, Yang Yuanzhao briefly introduced the causes and consequences of the Kaiser's envoy's coming, and also mentioned the news he informed, and made an inference about the purpose of the envoy.

Similar proposals, Germany has been mentioned more than once, but this time is different, Germany is out of a state of extreme eagerness, or in the northwest by the Entente state of plotting, the bloody facts, seems to prove that the white people are vigilant against the yellow race, under the premise that the two sides have started a war, they can actually put down their hatred of each other, through the neutral country to pass the word, jointly deal with China, this kind of high mentality is terrible, what else does China do, this kind of thinking spread among the high-level, It almost resonated with a huge vibe.

Yang Yuanzhao only sold the expressions and mentality of the high-level people, and then reported the research results of the intelligence department, and after a few days of hard work, through the efforts of the intelligence department, the tide of resignation and the problem of imported goods, basically have been determined, the United States, once again announced the list of 172 kinds of goods, even if it was prepared for a long time, it also made certain adjustments in a hurry, but the actual loss is the actual loss, from the export-oriented export economy, to the internal demand, which brings about a problem is the reduction of income.

I have been mentally prepared before, but when this kind of problem really falls on the head, many high-level people in the northwest still can't accept it, Yang Yuanzhao has been mentioning the world jungle in the high-level in the northwest, the jungle of the jungle, the weak eat the strong, and its own capitalism is just a skin, in fact, it is a naked fist and strength, if you are weak, he will be strong, the strong will eat all, and the weak will suffer.

Many high-level leaders in the northwest feel disapproving, but now, the real example is in front of them, Germany and the United States, aren't they the first industrial powers, but the market is not as big as the UK, is the thing not as advanced as the UK, of course not, the British beat down the market with their fists, and it is difficult for others to enter rashly, which is the fundamental reason.

Now, the great powers have even torn their skins and worked together to deal with the northwest, which directly affected the development and income of the northwest, which made the high-level a little angry, and Yang Yuanzhao put forward Germany's request straight to the point in the high-level talks, which was different from the previous one-sided refusal, and now a considerable part of them agreed that China would join the camp of the Allies and fight against the Allies together with the Allies.

Looking at the almost one-sided change, Yang Yuanzhao was surprised at the same time, he couldn't help but smile, Yang Yuanzhao, who came to this era from later generations and was familiar with history, knew very well that the First World War was defeated by the Allies, if he crossed in 1914, he would definitely not have any hesitation, follow Beiyang together, join the camp of the Entente, even if he is not taken seriously by the powers, but he can't give the powers an excuse, otherwise it will be a catastrophe for China.

The 1919 movement that broke out in history because of the Paris Peace Conference, isn't the reason for the loss of power and humiliation of the country, but if Beiyang had chosen the wrong position at that time and stood in the camp of the allies, I'm sorry, Japan will do it directly, and Britain, France, and the United States will also add fuel to the fire, not to mention the dismemberment of China, at least it is okay for China to lose most of its resistance ability, let alone the golden decade, I am afraid that during World War II, China will be weaker, and even Japan will occupy a large area of territory in advance, such as the Northeast.

But now, China is no longer dispensable, even if it is Japan, an Asian power, the proportion of the world's industrial field is only 1%, China, it is less than one percent, basically there is no industry, any choice made by China at that time, has no impact on the world situation, just like a dispensable filler, but now, the northwest has changed from a butterfly, into a hurricane, his support for Germany, directly affected the course of the European war, and even he is such a countryIn the future, there may be more than 6 million professional troops, hundreds of thousands, or even tens of thousands of tons of navy, and there are thousands of air forces, or even more air forces, the northwest unknowingly, already has a strong force, can join the world situation, and even the battle between the two blocs, play an immeasurable role, how to choose, very important.
