Is Germany really ignorant of the needs of China? 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 strength is already inferior to that of the Allies, and when it reaches this level, what else can 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 Reichs will be able to force the French out of the battlefield with only two major offensives, the first one we can drive the other side out of our borders, and the second one we can 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!

"That being the case. We're going to let those Orientals know how to calculate the cost of 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 existence 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 extend the scope of its power 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 is still a winter to go, and Huaxia can fully complete the preparations for war, and as far as I know, Huaxia has worked hard for ten years. Transportation and supply facilities in Siberia are already well developed, and they can also attack from the direction of Xinjiang. Hindenburg on the side asked with some concern.

"It doesn't matter, winter in Russia will be the best barrier. The Republic of China 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 any irrational decisions, then we will turn around and go back to Eastern Europe. By that time, China should have penetrated deep into the Russian border. We're going to give it a head-on blow! Let Huaxia know the iron fist of the Empire of Moral Will! Wilhelm II replied nonchalantly.

"There are no eternal friends in this world, only eternal interests, we can't let China 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 efforts on South Asia and even the Middle East, and at that time, a conflict between our two sides will be inevitable! 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. His navy is still strong, but the army is certainly not as good as our battle-tested warriors. And Russia's inflection and poor road conditions will be our greatest reliance, regardless of China. Moltke chimed in.

The Germans' calculations are very good, if it is not to the extent that they can't retreat, Germany is not willing to fall out with China, this is not to say anything about historical friendship, but Huaxia's own combat effectiveness makes the Germans feel jealous, especially the strong navy, in Saipan dragon force beat New Mexico to teach the US Navy to be a new man, and then in the decisive battle in the Mediterranean, Lin Yongsheng showed a tactical talent so that the Allied fleet won a huge victory in a disadvantaged situation, Thomas is not an unlucky child like Betty, They have beaten Hipper 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 considered it 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, then what will Russia have left? The Baltic coast, Ukraine, and even Belarus have become trophies of war for the Allies. Russia has lost more than half of its industry and population, and if it loses 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 to completely dismantle the colonial empire through a major war, and both Canada and Australia could provide Britain with enough personnel and a certain amount of industry. Therefore, if the Far East cannot be stabilized, 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. Therefore, he decided that if China attacked Russia, after stabilizing or solving the problem on the Western Front, he could 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 was generally slightly stronger, while Austria-Hungary and Turkey were the only ones in Germany, so it was no fun 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 had obtained from China had declined significantly, 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 Allies, Germany wanted to dominate the world, but Austria-Hungary and Italy were still very realistic, the former only 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 belonging 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!
