"Your Majesty, based on the information in the possession of our intelligence officers in Europe, it can be inferred that the Germans are ready to expand outward. Their targets, not surprisingly, were Austria in the south and the Sudetenland in the Czech Republic. Since the second half of last year, the German media have been reporting on it. They claimed that Austria's Germany was one and that Germany should lend a helping hand to the Austrians at a time when they were suffering from an economic crisis. As for the Sudetenland, it focuses on the injustice suffered by the Germans there. Marshal Chen Xudong, director of the Imperial * Military Intelligence Bureau, said.

"Hmm. Now Germany has been rearmed. In terms of their military strength, even the French, who claim to be the first army power in Europe, are not necessarily their opponents. At this time, they do not expand outward, which is obviously unrealistic. Wu Haoxuan said.

The Germans would expand outward, which he had long since expected. The connivance of Britain, France, and other countries against Germany made Germany even more unscrupulous. What's more, in this time and space, there is also the support of the Chinese Empire for Germany.

"When the Germans took Austria and annexed the Czech Republic and Slovakia, they should start a war. When the time comes, will the empire need to declare war with them? Marshal Jiang Baili, Chief of the General Staff, asked.

"It was also very beneficial for us for the Germans to fight in Europe first. At that time, we will be able to defeat the Americans first, according to our predetermined plan. War Minister Marshal Shi Qingshan said.

"I reckon that the Germans, having completed this round of expansion, will go to war with Poland. In this way, it can be regarded as giving Britain and France an explanation. After all, Britain and France supported Germany because they were counting on them to go to war against Soviet Russia. After the settlement of Poland, the Germans bordered on Soviet Russia. However, the Führer was clearly not a man willing to be at the mercy of Britain and France. After the settlement of Poland, it is very likely that they will turn their guns and launch an attack on Western Europe. The French will certainly not be able to withstand their attack. When the time comes, it will be time for us to make a move on the British and French colonies. Wu Haoxuan said. All this is the trajectory of the original historical development. Although, now the world has been made by Wu Haoxuan, and the history he knows is completely different. However, this should be the best offensive plan for Germany, and the Germans should not change this.

"Your Majesty, then we are still as supportive of the Germans' expansion as we were last time." Yang Du said.

"Your Majesty, will the Germans be reassured of Soviet Russia? Will they sign a secret treaty with Soviet Russia? Marshal Jiang Baili, Chief of the General Staff, asked.

"Of course, it's very possible. Even, the Germans will do it. Only if Soviet Russia does not attack them behind their backs, they will be relieved to start a war against the countries of Western Europe. What's more, we still pose a great threat to Soviet Russia. The Russians are now also frantically expanding their armaments, and they do not mean to keep peace with the Germans and then find us in trouble. Therefore, we must not relax our vigilance against Soviet Russia in the slightest. Armies deployed on the Western Front must be in the highest state of combat readiness. Air defense radars, advanced fighter units, bomber units, and armored units must be prepared to meet the Russians. If the Russians dare to invade us, they must be beaten. Wu Haoxuan said.

"Your Majesty, do you want to simply destroy the Russians? With the strength of the empire, it is completely possible to destroy Soviet Russia. War Minister Marshal Shi Qingshan said.

"Don't underestimate Soviet Russia. Soviet Russia has now built a developed industry. They also have a population of nearly 140 million. With their war potential, it is entirely possible to mobilize tens of millions of troops. Therefore, if they were to be destroyed, the empire would pay a great price. In the next war, the main goal of the empire is to defeat the United States, and Soviet Russia can be put aside for the time being. In addition, there needs to be a buffer between us and the Germans. It is necessary to leave Soviet Russia for the time being. Or, when the Germans swept through Western Europe, they would also go to war against Soviet Russia. When the time comes, we will be able to let the Russians consume the strength of the Germans. Wu Haoxuan said.

Although, now the relations between Germany and the Chinese empire are very close. However, for the sake of national interests, even the closest friends will become enemies. Now, the Chinese Empire must be ready for this. Believe the Germans, too.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The military ministers of the empire nodded their heads one after another.

"Your Majesty, from this point of view, after the outbreak of war in the future, there will be three main operational directions of the empire, one is the Pacific direction. In the initial stage, this direction was mainly the responsibility of the Navy. The main operational intent will be to eliminate American power in the Pacific. Later, if possible, we will launch an attack on the continental United States, and the Army and Air Force will also join in, and strive to defeat the Americans in one fell swoop. The second direction is the direction of Soviet Russia. There, we will unite the Russian Empire, conduct defensive operations against Soviet Russia, defeat the Russian offensive and deplete their strength. Wait until the empire completes the operational command in other directions, and then launch a war of annihilation against Soviet Russia. The third direction is Oceania, South Asia and West Asia. It was mainly a colony of Britain and France, and the Empire was to take advantage of the war between Britain and France against Germany. If necessary, it was even necessary to seize the Suez Canal and control the main communication routes between the East and the West, so that the empire's influence could extend to the Mediterranean. Marshal Jiang Baili said.

Wu Haoxuan nodded, in the future war of the empire, the main combat directions are indeed these three. Of course, the three operational directions, the most difficult and the most important, are undoubtedly the first. To defeat the United States, it will undoubtedly be very difficult. The Pacific Ocean, as well as America's great industrial power, were obstacles to the Empire's defeat of the United States. Wu Haoxuan even planned not to carry out a landing operation against the United States. As long as the wisdom of the U.S. naval power in the Pacific is swept away, the U.S. is forced to surrender. If the United States is unwilling to surrender, it will teach them a lesson with the atomic bomb. Of course, that would have to wait until the Empire developed the atomic bomb. After more than ten years of research, the Reich has not yet come up with a real nuclear explosive device. However, the theoretical problems have all been solved. In the western Gobi, the empire has secretly built centrifuge factories that are operating at full capacity, producing weapons-grade uranium. In addition, in order to carry out a nuclear attack on the United States, it is necessary to have bases close to the United States. With the range and combat radius of the Imperial heavy bomber, even in Hawaii it will not work. Therefore, even if nuclear weapons are developed, it will not be so easy to throw them on the heads of the Americans. After all, it's impossible to throw it into the worthless Western Desert, right? If you want to throw it, you have to throw it in a big city like Washington or New York, and no matter how bad it is, it will be a naval base for the Americans.

At this time, Tang Shaoyi, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire, came belatedly.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry that the ministers are late this time. The Chancellor had just held a meeting with the German Ambassador, and the Germans invited His Majesty the Kaiser to visit Germany to consult on the establishment of an alliance between China and Germany. Tang Shaoyi said.

"Visiting Germany? Ally with them? The military ministers of the empire all talked about it.

"It seems that the Germans need the guarantee of the Reich. After all, in the last world war, we ended up cheating them. Wu Haoxuan said with a smile. In the last world war, the Reich fought back, and finally led to a quick defeat of Germany. In this regard, Wu Haoxuan has no psychological burden. After all, it's all in the national interest. However, the Germans were clearly already wary of the Reich.

"Your Majesty, the current international situation is very tense, Your Majesty can't leave the country." Prime Minister Yang Du was the first to object.

The other ministers of military affairs have expressed their opinions one after another. Without exception, they were all opposed to Emperor Wu Haoxuan's departure to Germany. The current Wu Haoxuan is not young, in case there is any accident, this will be a heavy blow to the empire.

"But if we don't sign an alliance with the Germans, the Germans won't be comfortable going to war. Then, the empire's long-term plan will be aborted. Wu Haoxuan said.

"Your Majesty, even if you want to sign an alliance with the Germans, you don't need Your Majesty to go personally." The Minister of the Navy, Marshal Sa Zhenbing, also said.

"Father, I'll go to Germany." Crown Prince Wu Pengfei took the initiative to say.

"You're going?" Wu Haoxuan frowned. The Führer and Mussolini are not fuel-efficient lamps! Although the crown prince Wu Pengfei has good ability, can he compete with those two old foxes?

"Your Majesty, let the prince go. Anyway, this time, we are all going to sign an alliance with the Germans. As long as one more competent diplomat is accompanied, there should be no problem. Prime Minister Yang Du said.

"Your Majesty, you can ask the Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lord Gu Shaochuan, to accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. When they come back from Germany this time, they can also let Lord Gu Shaochuan take over as ministers. Tang Shaoyi also said. As he got older, he gradually felt powerless.

Wu Haoxuan hesitated, but finally nodded. The young eagle must go through the wind and rain before it can grow.

"Okay, the crown prince and Lord Gu Shaochuan will go to Germany." Wu Haoxuan said.

Many of the ministers of the empire are not young. The ensuing war was very important for the Empire. Once the war starts, he is really afraid that these ministers will not be able to support it.

The Germans welcomed the visit of the crown prince of the Chinese Empire to Germany. For them, whether Wu Haoxuan went to Germany in person, or the crown prince Wu Pengfei went to Germany, it was the same. (To be continued.) )
