Germany's initiative to compromise shocked the whole world, and at the same time everyone was able to understand it! After all, even Germany's main ally, Austria-Hungary, agreed to participate in the Beijing Peace Conference, so why should Germany insist on it? In this case, it is better to fight for your own interests as much as possible. However, the emperor did not go, and the crown prince went to Beijing instead, which is probably a kind of protest from Germany to China!
Germany compromised on its own initiative, and the rest of the countries were much easier! The Kingdom of Bulgaria also announced that it would participate in the Beijing Peace Conference, which would be attended by King Ferdinand I of the Kingdom of Bulgaria in person. Radoslavov will also personally participate in the peace talks. The Kingdom of Rome also announced that it would participate in the Beijing Peace Conference, but King Carol I of the Kingdom of Rome was too old to travel long distances, so he could only send his prime minister, the President of the Council of Ministers of the Kingdom of Romania, Titu. Liviu. Majorescu to attend this meeting!
The Ottoman Turkish government said that the Ottoman Empire would participate in the Beijing Peace Conference, and although the Ottoman Turkish Empire was 69 years old, in order to show the most respect for the Chinese Empire, Mohammed V would personally attend the Beijing Peace Conference. At the same time, the Ottoman Prime Minister Enver. Pasha and Foreign Secretary Taler. Pasha will lead a delegation to the Beijing Peace Conference, while another giant of the Turkish al-Shabaab party, Zemar. Pasha stayed in the country and controlled the overall situation!
The countries of the Allied countries have announced their participation in the Beijing Peace Conference, which means that there is no doubt that the peace talks will be held in Beijing! The Republic of Colombia and the Republic of Mexico, which are far away in the Americas, have also announced that they will participate in the Beijing Peace Conference, which means that the victorious countries of this world war have already expressed their positions! As for the defeated countries. They are not eligible. Just wait for the notification of the victorious country!
Germany's initiative to retreat. The Chinese side is very satisfied. But at the same time, this forbearance of the Germans also makes the Chinese side very vigilant! In the face of China's arrogance and unreasonableness, the Germans were able to compromise and retreat, which undoubtedly shows that the Germans have great intentions, otherwise, with the pride of the Germans. When encountering such a problem, I am afraid that I would have clamored for severing relations with China a long time ago, or even going to war directly, and I would not have sent the crown prince to participate in this peace conference at all! Of course, it is already an indisputable fact that China and Germany will engage in a fierce confrontation, even war, in the future! Both China and Germany understand this. It's just that, so far, neither side is ready for war!
"陛xià. All countries have agreed to come to Beijing to participate in the peace conference, then. We still need to determine the time for the peace conference, and then notify all countries, so that they can arrive in time! Imperial Prime Minister Wu Tingfang asked at the new imperial meeting! Although it took a lot of money to prepare the venue and receive people from all over the world, it was worth it in Wu Tingfang's view! The fact that all countries came to Beijing to attend the peace conference is undoubtedly a recognition of China's world hegemony!
"It's July, and it's the hottest time. In addition, it is estimated that it will take a month or more to travel to Beijing from all over the world! Well, the peace conference will be held three months later, on October 18. It also allows delegations from all over the world to come calmly! Wang Yuze said. Although Kaiser Wilhelm II would not come to attend the Beijing Peace Conference in person, Wang Yuze felt some regrets. However, he can also understand, after all, China has swept Germany's face this time, if Kaiser Wilhelm II will still come to participate in the peace conference, then his forbearance skills will be very terrifying!
"Yes, Your Majesty! Within three months, the government will make relevant preparations! Wu Tingfang said!
"The Cabinet, especially the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, should do a good job in receiving delegations from various countries. At the same time, we must also strengthen our precautions! These foreigners, they are here to attend the peace conference, or rather, to congratulate the empire! You can't give them any privileges, just treat them as ordinary people! Wang Yuze advised. He didn't want the empire to be subservient to the so-called 'foreign lords'.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Ng Dinh Fong and External Minister Tang Shaoyi both replied. Although they didn't know why Wang Yuze told him like this, they still decided to pay special attention to this part! At least among the senior officials of the Empire, those Westerners are still not taken seriously. The current empire, but the number one power in the world, can stop even in the face of those white people. If we want to stammer, it should be those Westerners who will stammer us!
"This peace conference is very important to enhance the international status and influence of the empire. At the same time, it is also an opportunity to show the strength of the empire! I hope that the military can show off the military muscles of the empire in front of the missions of various countries, so that they can feel the strength of the empire! Needless to say, Germany, even if they know the strength of the empire, it is estimated that they will still be our enemies in the end! But for other countries, it should still be very effective! Especially Austria-Hungary, if the empire wants to win over Austria-Hungary, it has to let Austria-Hungary know our strength! Wang Yuze said! This peace meeting is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate China's strong military strength, and it can also deter Western countries!
Marshal Cai Yun, Chief of the General Staff, Marshal Zhao Bowen, Minister of the Army, Marshal Zhang Cheng, Minister of the Navy, Admiral Long Feiyu, Commander of the Air Force, Marshal Jiang Xingguo, Minister of National Defense, and others discussed it, but they did not come up with any specific methods! After all, in their opinion, China's strength has been tested on the battlefield, and all countries know it. However, since Wang Yuze has this request, they have to come up with a solution!
"Your Majesty, can we draw on the British ship's parade and hold a military parade in Beijing, so that all countries can feel the strength of the empire?" Marshal Cai Yun, Chief of the General Staff, said! Back then, when Britain was still the world hegemon, didn't it often engage in ship parades? In order to show off the strength of Britain, especially the British Royal Navy. This also stimulated Kaiser Wilhelm II to start the German Navy to catch up and challenge the supremacy of the British Royal Navy!
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you!" Wang Yuze nodded, taking this opportunity to hold a grand military parade, which was already in his expectations. Since the military took the initiative, of course he would not refuse!
"Your Majesty, what about our navy?" Marshal Zhang Cheng, Minister of the Navy, asked. If a military parade is held in Beijing, the army and air force will mainly participate, and the navy will send marines to participate at most. Therefore, such an opportunity to be tabled, the Navy is also unwilling to miss!
"Isn't it easy for the Navy to show its strength? When will our 'Imperial-class' battleships and 'Gotsu-class' aircraft carriers be able to enter service ahead of schedule? When the time comes, wouldn't it be enough to let the 'Imperial-class' battleships and the 'Gotsu-class' aircraft carriers greet the missions of various countries? "Wang Yuze said with a smile!" The 'Imperial-class' battleships represent the pinnacle of battleships, but the world war is over before the 'Imperial-class' battleships are in service. With the continuous development of aircraft, the role of battleships in future naval battles will become smaller and smaller, and it is unknown whether the 'Reich-class' battleships can play a role in future operations against Germany! However, at this time, it would be best to use a 'Empire-class' battleship with a displacement of nearly 50,000 tons to show its strength! As for the 'Wuyue-class' aircraft carrier, it represents the main force of the Chinese Navy in the future. The four 'Emeishan-class' aircraft carriers of the Chinese Navy have become the brightest stars in this world war. As an improved version of the 'Emeishan-class' aircraft carrier, the 'Wuyue-class' aircraft carrier will inevitably make all countries be greatly shocked!
When Marshal Zhang Cheng, Minister of the Navy, heard Wang Yuze's words, his eyes lit up immediately, and he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the 'Imperial-class' battleship has begun its final commissioning, and it is completely capable of catching up with this peace meeting. As for the 'Wuyue-class' aircraft carrier, the first ship 'Taishan' and the second ship 'Hengshan' have also been completed and are being commissioned! We can show the strength of the Imperial Navy with 'Imperial-class' battleships and two 'Gogaku-class' aircraft carriers! ”
"Then decide so! The delegations from Europe first let them anchor in Singapore to rest, and then wait until the fleet sent by the Imperial Navy arrived, and then escort them to Beijing! Wang Yuze said. In the name of escort, in fact, this is a deterrent by force. Now that the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean have long been under China's absolute control, where is the danger? The dispatch of the most powerful battleships and aircraft carriers of the Chinese Navy is obviously to give all countries a disadvantage!
"Yes, Your Majesty! The Navy guarantees that it will give those foreign devils an unforgettable shock! Minister of the Navy Zhang Cheng said with a smile!
"So, that's all for today's meeting! Let's go our separate ways and prepare! Wang Yuze said.
After the Imperial Council, the Chinese Cabinet and the military immediately went into action, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will inform the countries of the timing of the Beijing Peace Conference and whether they need China to provide cruise ships and other arrangements to China.
Countries have responded to China and will attend this Beijing peace conference on time! However, almost no country asks the Chinese side for cruises, and they themselves will solve this problem! (To be continued......)
