At 11 o'clock in the morning on June 24, 1913, just after British Prime Minister Asquith announced Britain's surrender to Germany, German Prime Minister Holwig also delivered a speech on behalf of the German government, officially announcing to the major media and ambassadors to Germany that Germany accepted Britain's surrender. And, two years after the start of the World War, it officially ended!
"Ladies and gentlemen, the German Government is very appreciative of the decision of the British Government. This is very beneficial for the UK and the rest of the world! In this cruel war, countless people from all countries involved in the war have died in the war, a large number of houses and buildings have been in ruins in the war, a large number of farmland has been destroyed, and the economies of various countries have also been severely damaged! Now, it's time for the Great War to end! His Majesty the Kaiser was merciful and decided to accept the surrender of Britain! Well, this also means that this time the world war is over! The German Army will land in Britain in the next two days to carry out a military occupation of Britain to ensure the social stability of Britain and the interests of the victorious powers! At the same time, in order to ensure the stability of Britain, the German government also hopes that other countries will not land in Britain, so as not to cause bloodshed and cause more casualties! German Chancellor Holwig smiled and spoke eloquently in front of ambassadors and the media.
Britain's sudden surrender to Germany, and Germany accepted Britain's surrender at the first time, and even sent troops to land in Britain, which is a big event for the whole world. Almost all countries did not expect that Britain would succumb in such a short time. Originally, the rest of the world thought that there would be another fierce war in the British Isles. But. The British, who have always been proud, actually relented. Other than that. Britain surrendered to Germany alone. Germany also announced that it would send troops to Britain to maintain Britain's social stability, which undoubtedly shows that there must have been some agreement between Germany and Britain. Moreover, Chancellor Holwig declared that the German government did not want other countries to land in the UK, even a fool could guess, which was clearly guarding against China. It seems that the world war is over though. But the contradictions between the two great powers, China and Germany, have also begun to intensify!
Journalists in the media praised the end of the war as a boon to the whole world, but the ambassadors looked at Prime Minister Holwig with amusement. Many countries are aware of the turf grabbing between China and Germany on the Eastern European Plain. Germany does not seem to have robbed China, and Moscow has fallen into Chinese hands. Now, will the land grabs between China and Germany be staged in the UK? And who will be the winner this time? At least, Germany seems to have taken the lead in this operation!
Among the people present, in addition to the most concerned German Chancellor Holwig, it is probably the Chinese Ambassador to Germany Liang Cheng who attracts everyone's attention the most! Almost everyone wants to know. What will be China's reaction to the surrender of Britain to Germany?
"Ambassador Liang. I'm a reporter for the Frankfurter Post, and I would like to ask you, what is China's view of Britain's surrender? Will China send troops to land in the UK? A female reporter with blond hair asked Ambassador Liang Cheng. Many other reporters also stretched out their ears to hear what Ambassador Liang Cheng had to say. With the progress of the war and the collapse of several major powers of the Entente, China has become the world's number one power, and China's attitude will have a very great impact on the progress of the war.
"Miss Reporter, the surrender of Britain to Germany does not seem to be a matter of concern to China! The war between Britain and Germany, perhaps, can be over! However, Britain has not surrendered to China so far, which means that the war between China and Britain will continue until the British surrender to us and pay the price for this war! Chinese Ambassador to Germany Liang Cheng said with a smile. Although he was very amiable, the words he said were undoubtedly full of gunpowder.
"Wow!" The media reporters surrounding Ambassador Liang Cheng and the ambassadors of other countries who were concerned about Ambassador Liang Cheng immediately exclaimed in surprise when they heard Ambassador Liang Cheng's answer. It seems that the Chinese side will not recognize the agreement between Britain and Germany at all! So, will the war continue?
"Your Excellency, will China send troops to land in Britain? In the event of resistance from the British, will the squadron go on a killing spree in Britain? Immediately other reporters asked.
"I'm sorry, this is an imperial military secret, I have nothing to say!" After speaking, Ambassador Liang Cheng returned to the embassy under the escort of the embassy personnel. He knew, and the country might already know what was happening. However, he still has to send his views back home, and the emperor of the communist empire and the top government officials will refer to them when making decisions!
Although Ambassador Liang Cheng left, the atmosphere of the whole venue was completely detonated! China's refusal to recognize that Britain's surrender to Germany meant the end of the war was too much of a concern. Everyone even began to speculate that if China insisted on launching an attack on Britain, would the squadron that landed in Britain have a fierce conflict or even a war with the German team, and will it directly detonate a major war between China and Germany?
German Prime Minister Holwig also knew Ambassador Liang Cheng's answer, although the German government had already guessed that China would not compromise so lightly, but the fierce attitude of the Chinese side still exceeded the German side's expectations! Therefore, Chancellor Holwig immediately left the venue and went to the Palace of Gonlu in Berlin to inform Kaiser Wilhelm II of the situation and make a decision on how to deal with the problem!
"Your Majesty, it seems that the Chinese will not compromise, and their troops that are marching towards Britain are likely to launch a landing operation against Britain as scheduled! What should we do then? Chancellor Holwig said with some concern. Germany was already beginning to lay out for the post-war period. However, there is no doubt that Germany has little chance of winning in the event of a conflict or even a war with Germany. Neither the army nor the navy could defeat the Chinese, and in the two years of war, the wealth accumulated by Germany over the years was almost consumed. Compared to Germany, China's situation is undoubtedly much better. Germany's only advantage is probably to fight at home, and the supply of the army is much better than that of China. But even then, Germany had to do its best to avoid a war with China during this period!
"Marshal Falkenhayne, if we have a war with the Chinese in England, is the Imperial Army sure of defeating the Chinese?" Kaiser Wilhelm II asked.
"Your Majesty, the troops that the Chinese will land in Germany this time are mainly their 2nd Army and 8th Army, plus some infantry divisions. These two group armies, both elite units of the Chinese, fought many major battles in North America and achieved great results. If we want to defeat the Chinese in Britain, we need to commit at least half a million troops. In addition, it is necessary to ensure the smooth flow of supply lines. If the supply lines are cut off by the Chinese, then there will be nothing we can do! Marshal Falkenhayn said.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Navy is not yet able to gain sea supremacy in the North Sea. Even if the British Navy joins us, it will be the same! Forty battleships of the Chinese, as well as four aircraft carriers, were enough to crush the Imperial Navy to smithereens! The Minister of the Navy, Field Marshal Tirpitz, said with some frustration. The gap between the German Navy and the Chinese Navy is too great to be able to catch up in a short time!
"Can we just watch the Chinese land in Britain? In this case, will the British still believe us? Wilhelm II yelled with some anger. His anger was not only dissatisfied with the aggressiveness of the Chinese, but also resentful of the weakness of Germany's strength!
"Your Majesty, at this time, we must avoid conflicts with the Chinese as much as possible. The Empire now occupies France and Belgium, as well as the Eastern European Plain, and will need time to digest and integrate these resources. If Britain can be co-opted, coupled with Britain's industrial strength, the gap between the empire and China in the future will not be too large. That's the Empire's chance. Now, the empire needs enough time to recuperate! Prime Minister Holwig said.
Germany needs time to digest the fruits of victory, and China needs time too. After all, China has gained much more from this war than Germany. Almost all of Asia and half of North America have become the sphere of Chinese domination, and the squadron is also advancing in Africa, wantonly grabbing the African colonies of Britain and France. Although Germany also began to act, given that the main German forces were trapped in Europe, there were too few troops in Africa to grab China at all. China has acquired so much land, and it will also take time to digest it, and this is Germany's opportunity.
"Your Majesty, it is not impossible to prevent the Chinese from landing in Britain! Our 2nd Corps is ready to land in England as soon as tomorrow. As long as our troops land in Britain and occupy British cities, the Chinese should not dare to blatantly attack these cities we have occupied, right? Especially in the south of Britain, it is undoubtedly the primary target of the Chinese landing operations, as long as we occupy these important cities in advance and send a large number of troops to Britain, as long as the Chinese do not want to start a war with us at this time, they will not attack these cities we have already occupied! With the cooperation of the British, we only need a small number of troops to achieve the goal of occupying LinkedIn! "Marshal Falkenhayn built yƬ road!
"Well, just do it, no matter what, to stop the Chinese from occupying LinkedIn!" Wilhelm II said! (To be continued......)
