The Chinese navy and the German navy fired a gun salute in the Strait of Dover and saluted each other, representing a peaceful resolution of the conflict between China and Germany in Britain, which made the Germans breathe a sigh of relief. Kaiser Wilhelm II was also very glad that the situation did not deteriorate, otherwise Germany would have faced an even more brutal situation. Of course, Wilhelm II also knew that China did not act against Germany now only because China had not yet digested the fruits of victory in the war. When China digests the fruits of these victories and re-prepares for battle, it will be time for the final decisive battle between China and Germany! Of course, Germany will not sit still, and Germany will try its best to increase its strength in order to completely defeat China in the future war and obtain the world hegemony that Germany has always dreamed of!

The only dissatisfied, probably Crown Prince William. Although he knew that China was very strong, it was a great thing for Germany that the conflict between China and Germany was resolved peacefully this time! But Crown Prince Wilhelm, who had always been unaccustomed to China, did not think so, and he often declared to others in private that the peaceful resolution of the conflict this time was simply because Germany did not want the situation to expand! Otherwise, the German Navy and Air Force, in cooperation, could have left the main forces of the Chinese Haji in the Strait of Dover and the North Sea. Of course, the Germans are not stupid, except for some people who are interested in flattering Crown Prince Wilhelm, the rest of the people are completely scoffing at Crown Prince Wilhelm's statement! Later, it was Wilhelm II who summoned Crown Prince William and reprimanded him in his eyes, which made Crown Prince William honest. No more scribbling!

Field Marshal Falkenhayn, Minister of War and Chief of the General Staff of Germany, also ordered the German Army in Britain. Evacuate the place where the Chinese Army is confronted. Reduce the conflict between the two sides and avoid another military conflict, which will affect the relations between China and Germany! For this, the 2nd and 3rd corps of the German Army in the UK, of course, will not fail to comply! In fact, when confronting the Chinese Army, they were also under considerable pressure! In the event of a war, the back road will inevitably be cut off, and they will have to suffer from the onslaught of the armored forces of the Chinese army. This was also a very dangerous situation for the 2nd and 3rd Corps of the German Army. If there is a war, they will most likely be defeated!

The one who was most touched by it belonged to the German Navy! When dozens of huge capital ships and four aircraft carriers of the Chinese Navy passed in front of them, these killing planes made of cold steel were enough to make every German Navy officer and sail to the shock and fear from the bottom of their hearts! Compared with the Chinese Navy, the huge warships and those fighters that cover the sky and the sun, the German Navy is relatively weak! Although, the German Navy believed. If war breaks out, they will fight to the death. In this case, even the Chinese will definitely not be able to please anything. However, it is undeniable that even if they can inflict heavy damage on the main forces of the Chinese Navy, they will definitely pay an unimaginable price, and even be annihilated! At that time, if the navy dispatched by the Chinese from the mainland rushes to Europe, then the German coastline will be blocked again!

After returning to Berlin, Field Marshal Tirpitz, the Minister of the German Navy, submitted to Kaiser Wilhelm II a long-term plan for the construction of the German Navy, which was planned in two phases of five years each! If the first stage is completed, then the German Navy will have the strength to compete with the Chinese Navy! Field Marshal Tirpitz pointed out in his plan that in the next five years, the German Navy will build more than 10 aircraft carriers, and the size of the aircraft carrier aircraft force will be expanded to 600 to 800, in addition, the number of fighters, torpedo attack planes, and dive bombers of the German Navy's army aviation will also be increased to 1,500. Field Marshal Tirpitz believed that this was the only shortcut for the German Navy to catch up with and surpass the Chinese Navy. If the first phase of the plan can be completed, then the German Navy may be able to stand on its own soil and withstand the attack of the Chinese Navy! And to fight far from the homeland and defeat the Chinese Navy, this is somewhat unrealistic for the German Navy! In addition, the second phase of the plan, in the next five years, the German Navy will build aircraft carriers and fighters that surpass the Chinese Navy, so that the German Navy has the strength to defeat the Chinese Navy! However, Marshal Tirpitz was not optimistic about the plan for the second stage. It's not that he doesn't have confidence in the German Navy, but because China simply won't give Germany that much time! With China's strength, five years is enough time to digest the fruits of victory in this war! At that time, China will definitely start a war against Germany, and the German Navy will not have such a long time to develop at all! Therefore, the German Navy can only strive to improve its strength as much as possible before the outbreak of war, so as to increase the chances of victory in future decisive battles at sea!

Of course, these plans of the German Navy were supported by huge sums of money. These huge sums of money have even made it a little difficult for the German government to afford. However, Kaiser Wilhelm II, after thinking about it for a while, agreed with the plan submitted by the Admiralty. After all, without a strong navy, Germany would once again be at a disadvantage in the future war! If the European coastline is blocked, Germany's overseas lines of communication will be cut off, and Germany's war potential will be greatly affected. Germany may well lose the war! In addition, the navy is an offensive branch of the army, and if Germany wants to defeat China, it will be impossible without a strong navy! Therefore, even if it will make Germany tighten its belts in the past few years, Kaiser Wilhelm II still decided to build a strong navy, even if it is to smash the pot and sell iron!

In addition to this, the British government is also under a lot of pressure! In order to end the war as soon as possible and focus on restoring the economy and developing the military, the German government demanded that Britain surrender to China, so that China would stop the war against Britain and start peace negotiations! The member states of the Allied countries can't wait to eat the victory cake this time, but the British procrastination and the insistence of the Chinese make them have to wait patiently, which makes all countries very dissatisfied! The British government's determination was also somewhat shaken, and without the support of the Germans, they would not have the strength to confront China! However, an incident that happened next made the British have to bow their noble heads and officially announce their surrender to China, and the world war has only come to an end!

At 9:15 a.m. on July 6, Beijing time, when the main force of the Chinese Navy was heading towards the Strait of Dover, Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang met with a special person in the reception room.

"Don, let me introduce you to the founder and leader of the Sinn Féin Party in Ireland. Mr. Griffith. Mr. Griffith, this is the Imperial Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi Tang, if Ireland wants to get the help of the Empire, it must first need the support of the Empire! Major General Zhou Yuan, director of the European Department of the Military Intelligence Agency, said.

"Lord Tang, I'm very happy to see you!" Arthur. Griffith's face was full of smiles, and his eyes looking at Tang Shaoyi were full of hope and desire!

"Mr. Griffith, please be seated and welcome to China!" Tang Shaoyi said with a smile! Arthur. Griffith's identity, of course, he knew it for a long time. The CIA put Arthur three days ago. Griffith's materials and the Sinn Féin Party in Ireland were sent to him!

Sinn Féin in Ireland, founded in 1905, is a political party organization established by the Irish Volunteers, and the purpose of this political party is to overthrow British rule in Ireland by force and achieve Irish independence. It's just that Britain is too powerful, and although the Irish have been fighting for independence, they have been brutally suppressed every time. The British were also ruthless in killing these rebels. However, even the brutal repression of the British did not bring these Irish to their knees, and they continued to fight the British. And now, with Britain defeated in the World War, this gives the Irish a great chance!

Of course, even the weakened Britain was not something that the Irish could contend with. If Ireland wants to stand on its own, it has to get outside help! And China has become the only choice for the Irish! Before, the Irish also considered Germany, however, the Germans now wore the same pants as the British, and the Germans would certainly not help the Irish. Therefore, China has become the last hope of the Irish!

Of course, for China, it is also extremely beneficial for China to support the Irish and set up an opponent by the side of the British when Britain is turning to Germany! In addition, although the strength of the Irish is weak, if China can station troops in Ireland and deploy a strong army, navy and air force, it will be able to pose a direct threat to the United Kingdom, and the St. George's Channel and the Irish Sea will not be able to stop the squadron!

"Lord Tang, the Irish have been rebelling against the brutal rule of the British in Ireland for hundreds of years, and we hope to be able to get rid of the enslavement of the British and become an independent country! China is the most powerful country in the world, and Ireland hopes that China will lend a helping hand to us! "Arthur. Griffith said sincerely! (To be continued......)
