Is Germany really unaware of China's needs? Wrong! The Germans knew very well what Huaxia wanted! But Wilhelm II and the German government did not want to give! In their opinion, they have passed the most dangerous period, and even the sea with the largest gap has gradually turned to advantage, the Russian Navy has been completely annihilated, the French Navy has only 3 super dreadnoughts left, and then there is the British Grand Fleet, and this fleet needs to deal with a full 33 capital ships of various kinds, of which 32 are super dreadnoughts! The Entente's maritime power was already inferior to that of the Allies, and when it reached such an extent, what else could the Entente have to jump on? As for the Army? The Germans are even more confident! Nearly 1.5 million German elites will be able to switch to the Western Front next year, and there are still a considerable number of Austro-Hungarian and Turkish troops, what are the Germans afraid of? The Germans were quite confident that the fighting would end before June.

"In the spring of next year, the Imperial Army will be able to force the French out of the battlefield with only two major offensives, the first of which will drive them out of our borders...... And the second time we will be able to parade under the Arc de Triomphe! We have hoarded a large amount of various scarce resources such as non-ferrous metals, petroleum, and rubber, and as early as the beginning of the war, we considered that Huaxia might use this to blackmail us, so our purchases are far greater than our consumption. As for the food problem, the grain we get from Russia is enough to consume for two years. After more than 2 years of fighting for the Empire, it's time to reap the rewards. There is no need to let Huaxia get a piece of the pie at all. When Wilhelm II asked Moltke the Younger whether he would be able to win the war without supplies from China, the German chief of the General Staff replied with great confidence. …。

"In that case, we are going to let the Easterners know the cost of calculating the German Empire! We won this war with their supplies, and Europe, North Africa and the Middle East will all be ours! Will the German Empire be the greatest being in the world, and China? Just let him continue to nest in the Far East. Our goals cannot be limited to this. The High Seas Fleet must live up to its name! India and Malaya will also be our target, and what the British did not do, let Germany do it! China cannot expand its sphere of influence to the Strait of Malacca, and it is even more impossible to control Russia. Wilhelm II said confidently.

"But what if Huaxia decides to pick it up herself? Now those guys in St. Petersburg are not capable of resisting the attack of the Chinese Army! There's still a winter time to go. Huaxia is fully capable of preparing for war, and as far as I know, after ten years of hard work, Huaxia's transportation and supply facilities in Siberia are already very perfect. And they can also strike from the direction of Xinjiang. Hindenburg on the side asked with some concern.

"It doesn't matter, the Russian winter will be the best barrier, and the Huaxia Republic will not be able to launch an offensive until March next year at the earliest, and by May, the European battlefield may have ended! We will receive a lot of loot from the French and the British. If Huaxia makes some irrational decision. Then we will turn around and return to Eastern Europe, by which time China should have penetrated deep into the Russian border, and we will give it a head-on blow! Let Huaxia know the iron fist of the German Empire! Wilhelm II replied nonchalantly..........

"There are no eternal friends in this world, only eternal interests, and we can't let Huaxia go too far. Russia must maintain a certain strength in order to contain China in the north! If Russia is really dismembered, then the result will be that China will concentrate its forces into South Asia and even the Middle East, and by that time there will be an inevitable conflict between our two sides! So, in order to nip the threat in the bud. We must fight them when China is in its infancy! Don't be frightened by the other side, the Republic of China has not fought for ten years, and its navy is still strong, but the army is definitely not as good as those of us who have experienced the test of war. And Russia's inflection and poor road conditions will be our greatest reliance, regardless of China. Moltke chimed in. …。

The Germans had a very good calculation, and if it were not for the point where they could not retreat, Germany would not want to fall out with China. This is not to say anything about historical friendship, but the combat effectiveness of China itself made the Germans feel jealous, especially the strong navy, which taught the U.S. Navy to be a new man in Saipan's dragon and martial arts in New Mexico, and then in the decisive battle in the Mediterranean, Lin Yongsheng's tactical talent showed so that the Allied fleet won a huge victory under a disadvantaged situation. Thomas is not an unlucky kid like Betty, but he beat Hippert in the North Sea! As a result, when it came to the Mediterranean, it knelt decisively, and coupled with the speed of expansion of the Chinese Navy, the German Admiralty thought that it was extremely irrational to engage the Chinese Navy in the area east of the Middle East.........

On land, if China succeeds in incorporating North Asia into its own half day and dismembering Central Asia at the same time. So what is left of Russia? The Baltic coast, Ukraine, and even Belarus have become trophies of war for the Allies. Russia lost more than half of its industry and population...... In the case of the loss of the Far East, it will really become a third-rate country! And if a too weak Russia can't contain China, then Germany needs to protect this little brother! The German Army will continue to be pinned down on the Eastern Front to guard against a possible conflict with Huaxia, China's biggest advantage is its population advantage, so don't doubt whether Huaxia can occupy this area and confront such a Tyrannosaurus Rex-level existence, even if Germany becomes an elephant, Alexander!

And the Germans also understand very well that the Atlantic Ocean is too small! So much so that it is not possible to give Germany a sense of security at all, and in the face of the vast Pacific Ocean, the United States and China will not have any thoughts about each other now, but the United States will definitely be wary of Germany on the other side of the Atlantic. Nor would the British allow Germany to dominate Europe. The British had too many colonies, and it was unlikely that they would completely dismantle the colonial empire through a major war. Both Canada and Australia could provide Britain with enough personnel and a certain amount of industry. Therefore, if the Far East is not stable, Germany will still have to fight on two fronts, and this time the opponent will be even more terrible! …。

Therefore, after some weighing, the idea of the Germans was to take advantage of the strongest time of the German Army this time to solve the problem of the European continent once and for all, and build a defense against China in the east, and this defense against the Chinese is Russia! The essence of Russia is in Europe, in the face of Germany, the most important part of Russia is in front of the German bayonets, and in the face of China, the super depth will make up for the gap between military strength and national strength, and when necessary, with the support of the German Army, let China know the difficulties and retreat, this is the most fundamental idea of Wilhelm II. So he decided if China attacked Russia. After stabilizing or resolving the issue on the Western Front, we can consider supporting the new Russian government within a certain limit!

"All we need to do now is stall for time, as long as we can solve the problems of Europe, then everything that remains is not a problem, we must keep China silent until the middle of 1917!" Wilhelm II repeatedly emphasized this in a telegram to the ambassador to China. However, Wilhelm II wanted to do this, but would Huaxia arrange the schedule according to his ideas? Apparently impossible! Although winter is not suitable for combat, and Huaxia will not take military action, other actions have already begun! …。

"Your contribution will be remembered by the Kingdom of Italy, and you will always be the most honored guest of our country and our navy, and if you go back to see your teacher, please greet him on my behalf, and ask you to pass on these things to him, which are the models of all the warships that China ordered from our country and the battleship Longxiang from China. Our friendship will not be severed by this. Tycho said as he shook Lin Yongsheng's hand. …。

On December 5, 1916, Lin Yongsheng received an order to return to China, and with him returned to China almost all the officers and men of the Navy who accompanied the Longxiang. Although the Italians have accepted this battleship for a long time, it is still worse after all, and more importantly, the departure of Lin Yongsheng, the architect of tactics in the decisive battle in the Mediterranean, has deprived the Allied Mediterranean Fleet of a command that can calm the whole field, Tycho and Vice Admiral Spee respect Lin Yongsheng's opinion, but it does not mean that they will fully cooperate with each other. The Italian navy is generally slightly stronger in the total...... Austria-Hungary and Turkey are Germany's lead, and it is not a fun thing to have two cores in one group. What's more, even Lieutenant General Spee, who is in the battle formation, does not think that his level can be compared to Lin Yongsheng, a Chinese veteran. However, because there was no strong enemy in the Mediterranean at this time, these contradictions were not prominent, and no matter how bad they were, the French fleet could not come up with any tricks. A typical leash dog can win!. …。

Lin Yongsheng's departure is just the beginning. Soon. The Germans found that the types and quantities of materials they obtained from China had declined markedly, especially grain, oil, rubber, copper, and other strategic resources. The German government did not say anything about this. Wilhelm II knew very well that it was useless to say anything at this time, unless Germany confessed to giving up its support for the Russian Provisional Government and watched as China dismembered the other side.

The actions of the German government also caused discontent within the Central Powers. Germany wanted to dominate the world, but Austria-Hungary and Italy were still very realistic, the former just wanted to expand their territory, keep their vested interests, and at the same time bring the Balkans under their control, while the latter accepted part of the Balkan Peninsula and North Africa, which belonged to the Entente. There was no conflict of interest between them and Huaxia, so they were very dissatisfied with the behavior of the Germans. Think that Wilhelm II's ambitions are too great!
