"Oh God! How could the British be like this? That's a fortune worth 200 million pounds, 4 billion Reichsmarks! It was actually taken away by the Chinese! Kaiser Wilhelm II said with red eyes! Now he is about to be driven crazy by Germany's bad economy, but the Chinese can easily obtain such a large amount of wealth, which makes him deeply envious and jealous from the bottom of his heart!

"Your Majesty, what should we do now? It is said that now the Chinese are already transporting this wealth from Birmingham to Liverpool! And the Chinese's advanced battleship 'Hanshin-class' has been moored in Liverpool! If we wait until this wealth is sent to the warship, then we will not have any chance! Marshal Falkenhayn asked!

"Father Emperor, we should immediately note the Chinese and let them hand over these riches to us!" The British have surrendered to us, then, this wealth should belong to Germany! Even if not completely, a large part of it should be ours! You can't let the Chinese just swallow it alone! "Crown Prince William jumped up and down! The wealth of four billion marks, even if Germany only gets half of it, is very impressive, how many elite armored forces can be formed, how many advanced aircraft carriers can be built!

"The Chinese will not hand over this wealth so lightly! Come, Prime Minister, Foreign Secretary, and Minister of the Navy, I have important matters to discuss with them! Kaiser Wilhelm II said. He knew that it was almost impossible to get the Chinese to spit out the fat that they had eaten in their mouths. If it were Germany, it wouldn't have done so! However, if Wilhelm II was to give up like this, then he would be very unwilling! The wealth of 200 million pounds falling into the hands of the Chinese will undoubtedly further widen the gap between Germany and China! This will make Germany's road to world dominance even more difficult!

The palace guards immediately went to the Prime Minister, the Foreign Secretary, and the Minister of the Admiralty. Kaiser Wilhelm II was trying to figure out how to make Germany occupy enough interests this time!

"Field Marshal Falkenhayne, will we be able to defeat China if we break out in England?" Kaiser Wilhelm II asked!

Falkenhayn was shocked, if Wilhelm II wanted to use war means, then it would not be so easy for Germany to win, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I don't want to use war methods for the time being!" At present, we have only more than 600,000 troops deployed in Britain, and the 3rd Army Corps is still landing, but because of insufficient transportation capacity, the speed of landing is not guaranteed! The Chinese already have two army groups and thirty infantry divisions in Britain, and the total strength has reached almost one million! If we go to war, our chances of winning are slim! "Marshal Falkenhayn has said very tactfully, judging by the comparison of the military strength of the two sides in Britain now, Germany has no chance of winning, but almost no chance of winning!

"Your Excellency, the British should be on our side! Although the combat effectiveness of the British Army is a little worse, they have almost two million troops, which can also make a great difference! Even if it is not comparable to the elite troops of the Chinese, compared with those ordinary infantry divisions, there should not be much gap! "Crown Prince Wilhelm disagreed with Marshal Falkenhayne's statement.

"Your Royal Highness, don't forget that the Chinese navy is in absolute superiority! If they wished, they could immediately block the English Channel, the Strait of Dover, and the North Sea, and then we would lose contact with the British. Without supplies, we're no match for them! Marshal Falkenhayn said. If the German Army still has the strength to compete with the Chinese Army, then the German Navy and the Chinese Navy are not at the same level at all!

Crown Prince William suddenly had nothing to say, modern army operations, logistics support is very important! If the logistics supply line is cut off by the Chinese Navy, then the German Army, no matter how strong it is, will not be an opponent of the Chinese!

German Chancellor Holwig, Foreign Minister Stresemann, and Admiralty Tirpitz quickly arrived at the palace. Although they were having lunch when they received the notice, they all put down their knives and forks and rushed to the palace as soon as possible.

After arriving at Gonglu Palace, on the way to Kaiser Wilhelm II's study, someone had already told them the specific situation! Several people are full of envy, jealousy and hatred for China to obtain a wealth worth 200 million pounds in Britain! They are also desperate to get a piece of the Chinese, but they are also very aware of how difficult it is!

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's hard for us to get the Chinese to comply! This war was originally a plunder, and what the Chinese had already grabbed was absolutely impossible to hand over! Unless our force can be stronger than the Chinese, however, now it seems a little unlikely! Prime Minister Holwig said with some frustration! In the final analysis, this qiē needs to be guaranteed by strength, if Germany's strength can crush China, it can directly demand that China hand over all this wealth, otherwise there will be a war against China! However, Germany's current national policy is to avoid conflict with China as much as possible, and to delay the possibility of war between the two sides as much as possible! Therefore, it is very difficult, almost certain, that Germany wants to acquire these riches, and there is no possibility of it!

"Your Majesty, there is no way to deal with this matter by diplomatic means! The Chinese will not compromise! Foreign Minister Stresemann said directly! Obviously, the fat that has been eaten by the Chinese in their mouths has no possibility of spitting it out at all!

"Are we just watching the Chinese swallow this wealth for themselves?" Crown Prince William's face was bruised, and he was a little out of shape!

"Your Royal Highness, to be exact, we don't have any way! The Chinese' 'Hanshin-class' battleships are already moored in Liverpool, and as long as these treasures are loaded onto ships, they will be able to transport them back home! The 'Hanshin-class' battleship is a very powerful battleship developed by the Chinese, and its comprehensive combat power is not much worse than our 'Bavaria-class' battleship, especially the speed, which is very likely to be above 26 knots! At the beginning, the Chinese declared that the 'Hanshin-class' was a battlecruiser, not a battleship, which confused all countries in the world! This type of battleship has the speed of a battlecruiser and the firepower and armor of a battleship. The Imperial Navy currently has no way to leave the Chinese' 'Han Shin class' behind! "said the Minister of the Navy, Marshal Tirpitz.

"What about submarines or airplanes?" Marshal Falkenhayn asked!

Marshal Tirpitz shook his head, and then said: "Most of our submarines are deployed in the North Sea, and there are almost no more in the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea. If you send submarines now, you won't be able to catch up! In addition, the Chinese's 'Hanshin-class' battleships are very strong and have very good lightning resistance, as long as they are not besieged by submarines, it is very difficult to sink such a battleship! With the high-speed performance of this battleship, the submarine can be thrown off lightly! As for aircraft, the Navy has only about a hundred torpedo attack aircraft and dive bombers that can threaten the Chinese warships, but, subject to range problems, we cannot attack them! In addition, the Chinese have absolute air supremacy, and the fighters on their four aircraft carriers are enough to ensure that the entire British sky is under their control! Even if you send a plane to the UK now, it's too late! What's more, a fierce military conflict with the Chinese is now very unfavorable to us! ”

Kaiser Wilhelm II was indeed unwilling, but he had no choice but to accept the result. It is true that Germany now does not have the strength to defeat China, and if it starts a war now, it will be very disadvantageous to Germany!

Crown Prince William also calmed down, but the resentment in his heart did not decrease, but increased a lot. He has looked down on China and hates China from the bottom of his bones! In addition, Germany has suffered losses at the hands of the Chinese several times, and he hates China even more!

"Well, let the ambassador to China contact the Chinese and find a way to let them share a little of the benefits." After all, if you eat alone, it will cause public anger! If necessary, we can take a little military pressure. However, the premise must be mastered well, and we must not misfire and trigger a military conflict or even a war between our two sides! Kaiser Wilhelm II said!

"Yes. 陛xià! Foreign Secretary Stresemann nodded, and that was the only way to do it now.

At 8 p.m. Beijing time on July 2nd, the German Ambassador to China, August. Feng. Although Ambassador Klinder was very speechless and even a little angry at the order issued by the German Foreign Ministry, there was no other way but to honestly obey and go to Tang Shaoyi's mansion!

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, Germany expresses its grave concern over the Squadron's snatching of the wealth of the British Crown in Birmingham! Now that Britain has surrendered to Germany, the war can come to an end! Then all the wealth of Britain should belong to Germany, of course, we are allies, and China also has a share in this wealth! Therefore, the German government wants our two countries to be able to equalize these riches! "August. Feng. Clinder said with a stern face!

"Huh? Your Excellency, where did you hear this from? How come I didn't know at all? So far, the Imperial Government has not received any information about it, but the military's operation in Birmingham is just a routine combat operation, and it does not involve the wealth of the British royal family. Tang Shaoyi replied!
