The Chinese Empire continued to expand in South Asia, adding five new vassal states. Although these are small countries, they still attract the attention of the rest of the world, some are wary, some are envious, and even more jealous. The Chinese Empire was the biggest winner of this large-scale uprising in India.

When Comrade Stalin in Soviet Russia learned of this final result, he smashed his beloved pipe. They painstakingly supported the Indian Bolshevik Party in launching an uprising, but in the end they made wedding dresses for the Chinese, which were taken advantage of by the Chinese Empire. On the contrary, the Indian Red Army, led by the Bolshevik Party of India, has become the target of the British's repression, and its situation is getting worse and worse. As for the rebels who were close to China, the British seemed to ignore their existence. It is clear that the British are deliberately targeting the Indian Red Army, in other words, against Soviet Russia. This naturally made the top brass of Soviet Russia very dissatisfied with this.

The Third German Reich, which was rapidly expanding its armaments, was also dissatisfied with the expansion of the Chinese Empire. The Führer believed that the Chinese Empire was able to expand without much effort only because Germany had pinned down the British in Europe. Otherwise, how could the British easily agree to the unreasonable demands of the Chinese Empire and be forced by them?

On January 2, 4636 A.D., just after New Year's Day, the Führer convened a meeting at the Führer's capital, which was attended by the top leaders of the National Socialist Workers' Party and the German* military.

"Gentlemen, Germany now has the strength to expand outward. We have received a lot of supplies from the Chinese, and our army and air force have made great progress. This makes us no longer have to fear countries such as Britain and France. Therefore, Germany can no longer remain silent, cannot watch the expansion of other countries, and we can only be trapped at home. The Führer said.

The Chinese Empire continued to expand its territory, which made the Führer very jealous. In his opinion, this is very unfair.

"Your Excellency, the German Army* has completed the relevant preparations. We now have thousands of the latest tanks. The Leopard tank, developed in cooperation with the Chinese, is fully capable of crushing the tanks of other European countries. However, if war breaks out now, our chances of victory are still not good. After all, our resources are very constrained. Once the war starts, our access to resources will be completely cut off. Field Marshal Blomburg, commander-in-chief of the German armed forces, said with some concern.

The Führer nodded, he had participated in the First World War, and naturally knew that this was the most important point of restraining Germany. Germany's own resources are poor, especially oil, and it is desperately lacking. If the British blockade Germany once the war broke out, then Germany would not want to get another drop of oil. At that time, even if Germany has advanced weapons and equipment, but without oil, it will not be able to start, and it can only become a pile of scrap metal.

"Your Excellency, we can store large quantities of all kinds of materials before the outbreak of war, such as oil, rubber, all kinds of non-ferrous metals, steel, aluminum, copper, and so on. In this way, we will be able to hold out even after being blockaded by the enemy. And, with our strong military strength, we can quickly defeat our opponents. As long as we can defeat the enemy quickly, then the crisis we are facing can be resolved. Goering said. His air force is equipped with a large number of Me109 fighters, that is, the German version of the F9 fighter, as well as quite a few dive bombers and H8 bombers. In terms of quantity, although it cannot be compared with Britain and France and other powers, but in terms of quality, it is more than a step ahead. This gives him the confidence to seize air supremacy in future wars.

"It's true, we have to accumulate a lot of supplies before the war starts. Otherwise, it's hard for us to stick to it. Foreign Minister Ribbentrop also said.

"So, get in touch with our Chinese friends and get as much supplies as you can from them. Our friends are not lacking in these areas. The Führer said. Compared with Germany, which lacked all kinds of materials, the Chinese Empire can be regarded as a real vast land, and there is no shortage of all kinds of materials, and it can expand its armaments and wars arbitrarily. This made the Führer very envious and jealous. In his opinion, if Germany had such good conditions, they might have conquered the whole world long ago.

"Yes, Your Excellency. Our Chinese friends have gained a lot in the past year, and they should not refuse to let them support us with some supplies. Ribbentrop said with a smile.

"Gentlemen, the international situation has become more and more tense. Britain and France did not interfere with our rise entirely because they wanted us to attack to the east and deal with Soviet Russia on their behalf. But they can't keep us expanding indefinitely. Therefore, we must be prepared for the possibility of war at any time. Only in this way will we be able to win the war. Last time, Germany suffered a crushing defeat in the war, and we paid a huge price. This time, if we fail again, we will lose all the way and there will be no hope of rising. The Führer said.

"Please rest assured, the German* army will definitely win victory for the country as much as possible." Marshal Blomburg said.

"The Air Force will ensure victory on the battlefield of the future." Goering patted his chest and reassured.

Only Admiral Raeder, the commander of the Navy, had a somewhat ugly face. The strength of the German navy was heavily damaged in the last war, and now Germany is focusing on the construction of the army and air force, and the rest of the navy has not been rebuilt at all, except for the submarine force, which makes the German navy the weakest of the three German armed forces.

"Führer, once war breaks out, the German Navy will strangle the British sea transport lines as much as possible, and this is the only thing we can do." Admiral Raeder said.

The Führer nodded: "General Raeder, although our naval strength is not strong. However, our friends have the most powerful navy in the world. Once the war began, the British navy was handed over to them to deal with. What's more, our friends have always had deep ambitions for the British colonies. They would definitely have launched an invasion of the British colony. At that time, the British will inevitably have a big battle with the Chinese navy in order to keep those colonies. ”

"Your Excellency, there is a very important question before us. Although, we have a very close relationship with the Chinese Empire. However, there is no covenant between us and the Chinese Empire. Although the covenant is not enough to form a real binding, it is better to have something than nothing. I think it's time for us to sign an alliance with the Chinese. Foreign Minister Ribbentrop said.

"Yes, Your Excellency, I fully agree with that. Before the last world war, we had a very close relationship with the Chinese. However, they sold us out in the end. This time, we have to prevent it from happening again. Heinrich also said.

"I know that the Chinese are not credible. Between us and the Chinese, we are just using each other. However, the Chinese are now very strong, and we still need to count on them. Only when our own strength is truly strong is that that the most important thing is that. Therefore, in the future, we must expand our armaments as soon as possible so that Germany's military strength can be raised to a higher level. In that case, none of us need to be afraid. The Führer said. Because he himself is a perfidious man. So, of course, he won't trust anyone else.

"However, an alliance with the Chinese is also very necessary. His Excellency Mussolini is also interested in forming an alliance with us. In this way, the three of us can form an alliance to deal with those traditional powers. Your Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs, extend an invitation to the Chinese to invite their Emperor His Majesty to Berlin, with whom I need to speak at length. The Führer said.

"Yes, Your Excellency. However, the Chinese emperor is not young now. Moreover, the emperors of the Chinese have never wanted to visit foreign countries, and the likelihood that they will accept our invitation is very small. Ribbentrop was in a quandary. Now China is the world's largest power. If the Chinese Empire does not give them face, they really have nothing to do with the Chinese Empire.

"I know that even if the Chinese emperor doesn't come, they should at least send heavyweights to Germany. For example, their Royal Highness the Crown Prince. As long as the Chinese are willing to ally with us, then we will be able to start the next round of expansion with more confidence. For example, Austria in the south and the Sudetenland in the Czech Republic. The Führer said with a smile.

At a time when the Chinese Empire was expanding greatly, the Germans could not sit still. Their target was Austria in the south. Austria was once a state in the German Confederation, but was defeated and excluded in the battle with Prussia for the leadership of Germany. The once mighty Austro-Hungarian Empire had collapsed, and now Germany could bring the country back under German rule. The Sudetenland was also German. Now, the situation of those Germans is not good. How could the Führer, who had always regarded himself as the savior of the Germans, not care about the Germans?

"Yes, Your Excellency." Ribbentrop nodded.

Immediately, on behalf of Germany, the German ambassador to China formally extended an invitation to the Chinese Empire, inviting the Chinese Emperor to Berlin to discuss the alliance between China and Germany. Italian leader Benito Mussolini was also invited. (To be continued.) )
