Boston, the capital of the Grand Duchy of Germania! Prince Heinrich, Grand Duke of the Germanic Grand Duchy and younger brother of Kaiser Wilhelm II, woke up early in the morning of October 18 local time and received an urgent report from the border troops!
"Your Highness, the troops of the Chinese were found on the northern border, and the number was about one standard infantry division. They seem to have the intention of crossing the St. Lawrence River and entering the territory of the Duchy! In addition, in the territory of the Federal United States in the western part of the principality, there is also a Chinese infantry division marching eastward, and it is expected that by noon, they will reach the border! According to the intelligence sent back by our people in the Federal United States, the Chinese also sent armored troops to the east! The air defense forces also reported that more than a dozen Chinese planes broke into our airspace! I don't know what the intention is! "Prince Heinrich's adjutant reported to him!
"What the hell is going on? Are the Chinese going to attack us? Prince Heinrich asked, somewhat inexplicably. How can you wake up and the whole world will be different? Aren't China and Germany allies, how can they all change in the blink of an eye?
"Your Highness, the actions of the Chinese did not pay attention to us at all. This is obviously what they premeditated! The adjutant guessed!
"Report this to the country immediately! Request domestic instructions! Prince Heinrich ordered!
"Yes, Your Highness! But if the Chinese really attack us, what should we do? Should you order the troops to be ready for battle? The adjutant hesitated, but still asked the question!
"Forget it! Just our 30,000 troops who are not even fully armed. Can you withstand the Chinese armed to the teeth? All units gave orders forbidden to leave the barracks! If the Chinese call in. No conflict with the Chinese is allowed, waiting for the next order! Prince Heinrich ordered! Although the Grand Duchy of Germany can recruit 30,000 troops, these people have just completed recruitment, and the training and the like have not yet begun, and the weapons and equipment have not yet been equipped! In such a situation, if they go to fight the squadron, it is completely to let them die! Prince Heinrich was originally a good man, and he couldn't be ruthless like this!
"Okay. Your Highness! The adjutant nodded, walked away quickly, and went to send a telegram to the country! Although the Grand Duchy of Germany was an independent state de jure sensei, in practice the country was still under the control of Germany, both the government and the military. There were a large number of officials and officers from Germany in control, and Prince Heinrich did not have much power. Germany also attached great importance to the Grand Duchy of Germania, and intended to use it as a bridgehead for Germany to radiate to the whole of America. It's just that when the war had just ended, Germany was still in chaos, and there was not much energy to pay attention to the Grand Duchy of Germania for the time being!
Look at the back of the departing adjutant. Prince Heinrich's face gradually became gloomy! He is the younger brother of Kaiser Wilhelm II, and it can be said that from birth, he was destined to live a lifetime. However, it also made it necessary for him to keep a low profile for the rest of his life, at least not to convince Kaiser Wilhelm II that he would pose a threat to the throne. Otherwise. He would be in great danger, and even very likely to die! Right now. The Grand Duchy of Germany was founded, and he was finally able to leave Germany and live a free life. But I did not expect that now the Grand Duchy of Germany is actually threatened by force by the Chinese. If the Grand Duchy of Germany is really occupied by the Chinese, it is not what he wants to see!
"Could it be that during the ongoing peace conference in Beijing, the talks between Germany and China have collapsed?" Prince Heinrich secretly guessed! In his opinion, this is probably the only reason why China and Germany will fight each other!
At this time, in Berlin, Germany, Kaiser Wilhelm II and a group of important ministers from the German side did not even have time to eat lunch, and they were being overwhelmed by the current situation. From the morning, the German Navy discovered that the main fleet of the Chinese Navy was leaving various ports and moving in the direction of the Strait of Dover, which attracted the attention of the German Navy, and the German Minister of the Navy, Field Marshal Tirpitz, also knew the news at the first time, and rushed to Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam in time to report to Kaiser Wilhelm II!
Soon, Field Marshal Falkenhayn, Minister of War and Chief of the General Staff of Germany, also arrived and reported to Kaiser Wilhelm II that the Chinese Army in Russia had begun to move frequently, and the quartermasters were already distributing ammunition, and there seemed to be signs of an offensive! At the same time, the planes of the Chinese Air Force also frequently entered the control area of the German Army and chased after the Luftwaffe planes, but fortunately, both sides were more restrained and did not fire! But this is enough to attract the attention of the German side, if you are not careful, it is very likely to cause a misfire!
"What the hell is going on? What kind of madness are the Chinese, why would they suddenly take military action against us? "Kaiser Wilhelm II roars in anger! China's army, navy, and air force have all begun to move, which is a great challenge for Germany!
"Your Majesty, we made a request at the Beijing Peace Conference to share the war reparations that China has obtained in the United States! Austria-Hungary also echoed this demand, but this demand was strongly opposed by the Chinese. As a result, the Chinese forcefully terminated the negotiations. And the military action taken by the Chinese now may be that the Chinese are expressing their anger and a threat to us! "Said Field Marshal Falkenhayn, Minister of the German Army and Chief of the General Staff! After the incident, he quickly contacted the Chinese delegation to the Beijing Peace Conference, and then got relevant news!
"Damn, how can this be?" Wilhelm II felt only a slight headache. Why is this peace meeting so unsmooth? At first, Germany wanted to hold a peace conference in Berlin, but it was strongly opposed by the Chinese. Now, the peace conference is being held in China, but because of the differences and contradictions between the two sides, this time the peace conference has been overshadowed, and now there is a possibility of a big war!
"Your Majesty, the Chinese Navy is currently marching towards the Strait of Dover, and it is expected that by tomorrow afternoon, they will enter the North Sea! In addition, according to the latest news we have received, the most powerful battleships built by the Chinese, the 'Imperial-class' battleships and the latest 'Wuyue-class' aircraft carriers, are now also heading to Europe, and they are expected to join the Chinese Navy in Europe in three weeks! When the time comes, we will be under even more pressure! Marshal Tirpitz said!
Kaiser Wilhelm II's brows were already tightly wrinkled, he knew the strength of the German Navy, even after annexing the British Navy, it would not have the strength to confront the Chinese Navy, not to mention the Chinese Navy's 'Reich-class' battleships and 'Wuyue-class' aircraft carriers were also coming! Not to mention anything else, the main guns of the two 'Reich-class' battleships with a caliber of 406 mm were able to wipe out all the existing capital ships of the German Navy! He was sure that if war broke out between the two sides, the German navy would probably have to stay in the harbor as a surviving force! In addition, the Chinese still have so many carrier-based aircraft, I am afraid that even if the German Navy stays in the port, it is not necessarily safe!
"What do you think we should do now?" Kaiser Wilhelm II asked. He was also aware of the German delegation's request to China to share the war reparations paid by the United States. However, he did not expect the reaction of the Chinese side to be so violent! If he had known this would be the case, perhaps he would not have agreed. Germany is very passive now!
"Your Majesty, it seems that the Chinese are iron-hearted and unwilling to share the reparations paid by the United States with us, and we do not have enough strength to confront the Chinese now!" Therefore, I think we should abandon this unrealistic idea! "Secretary of the Navy Tirpitz first built YƬ Road!
"Yes, Your Majesty! If war breaks out between us and the Chinese now because of this, it will be very disadvantageous! Although the war reparations extorted by the Chinese from the United States are very tempting, we do not yet have the strength to obtain these reparations! Field Marshal Falkenhayn also chimed in! It's not wrong to be greedy, but if you're greedy and don't have the corresponding strength, you're killing yourself!
At this time, an officer hurriedly walked as far as he could, and said to Kaiser Wilhelm II: "Your Majesty, Prince Heinrich of the Grand Duchy of Germany has called, the border area of the Grand Duchy of Germany has found a squadron, and they have signs of marching towards the Grand Duchy of Germany!" ā
"Damn the yellow-skinned monkeys, are they really going to war?" Wilhelm II roared angrily!
Field Marshal Tirpitz and Field Marshal Falkenhayn were also silent for a while, and they knew very well that whether there would be a war between China and Germany depended on whether Germany would compromise with China and stop making unrealistic demands. Otherwise, the Chinese will most likely go to war! China's current military action is to prove to Germany once again that China is ready for battle, and to force Germany to make a choice!
After a while, Wilhelm II seemed to have finished venting his anger in his heart, and the whole person calmed down.
"I know that now is not the best time for us to go to war against China! Send a telegram to the delegation in Beijing and ask them to find a way to reach an understanding with the Chinese! Also, let Friedrich come back! "Wilhelm II made the final decision! Since there can be no war with China, then Germany has only compromise! In this conflict between China and Germany, China has won again!
