Chapter 17: Two Foxes
This is the manor house prepared for the new governor of Irian Island, the brother of William III. The small but exquisite estate is located on a cliff on the coast of Irian Island, where the lush forests provide shade from the blazing sun and the sea breeze makes it look pure and natural.
It was an English property, and since the Germans occupied the island, they had driven out all the British and occupied all their property. This exquisite manor house belonged to such a domestic country and became the residence of William III before the castle was built.
On the cliff, there were two figures, Tang Yunyang and William III, except for some guards beside them, there were no more personnel, obviously they were talking about something extremely important.
"Your Majesty, please don't worry, the number of planes on Irian Island has now reached the level of 500, even if Britain and France have any plans to disadvantage you, the strength of the garrison on the island can hold out until we arrive, please rest assured!"
Tang Yunyang tried his best to appease William III, who had officially ascended the throne on Irian Island, and the enthronement ceremony was 15 days long from the beginning of preparations to his official accession to the throne.
Now the time has entered the middle of April 1918, and the Kaiser family stationed on Irian Island is a little melancholy in the waters around the South Seas.
In the face of Tang Yunyang's constant comfort, William III still found it difficult to show his sorrow.
"Monsieur Earl, I am not the cause? One? Root? Read? How worried I am for my people! ”
Tang Yunyang followed William III's side, and he had been listening to his endless complaints for the past two days.
"Your Majesty, we have an old saying in China, if you haven't eaten salt, you don't know salt! I think that the people of Germany, now that they support their so-called democratically elected government, they must suffer something, otherwise how can they recall the days of glory and glory! ”
"Do they have to accept those hateful British and French ** teams? My poor Germany, I hope that one day I will be able to save them! ”
The information that Wilhelm III is now revealing to Tang Yunyang is nothing more than thinking about when he can return to Europe and when he can return to Germany, obviously he does not intend to die on Irian Island for the rest of his life.
It's not that it's impossible, it's that it can't be done now, at least for now, if the years of the Second World War don't change, then at least he will have to stay on the island for 20 years. Of course, the world has become somewhat unpredictable because of new types of aircraft and new situations of land and naval warfare.
"It won't be long, Your Majesty, and I think it's going to take a strong army and a larger population anyway. Therefore, I will try to get more people from Germany itself. In addition to this, I would like to have your army come back to my army and train you more officers through the test of war, in addition to the army made up of natives. Otherwise, I'm afraid that when the time comes, you won't have more strength because of the lack of officers and troops! ”
There was a smile on William III's fox-like face, and although he was not a very good soldier and tended to be a little stubborn, a politician who grew up in the court did not need much to learn.
"Why, my dear sir, it seems that you have a better arrangement for these things, and we may all look into them, or we may come up with a better plan."
The two looked at each other and smiled, both of them already understood what kind of character each other was.
"Yes, Your Majesty, as a population, I think some of your undertakings here are very profitable, such as oil, such as seafood, such as forest resources, and resort sites. Therefore, this should not be separated from Germany, this is a reservation left for you by the current German government, so that the German population will arrive here for other reasons such as job opportunities.
In addition, I can train and arm your army for you, of course, it doesn't have to be too strong for the time being, as long as you maintain a considerable amount of air power in the vicinity. As for the rest of the army, it is mainly focused on training non-commissioned officers and officers, so that you can quickly have your own army if you need it one day.
Besides, I am afraid that I will have to consult with you about something more distant in, namely, if one day I can help you to return to Germany, what will we receive from me, Your Majesty, with my men? ”
Tang Yunyang's words gave hope to Wilhelm III, and although the young man in front of him, who was about to become the future leader of China, always expressed respect and willingness to help him restore the German royal power, he was obviously not the kind of person who only volunteered, he was a guy who needed benefits.
"No problem, my sir, if Germany can restore the royal power, I can appoint you governor of the Truk Islands, and make this your eternal domain!"
Tang Yunyang smiled slightly: "It's almost, but it's still a little bit less." In order to express my sincerity, Your Majesty, I will say it directly. If my country and I can support you in regaining German power, then the Truk Islands and Irian Island may be incorporated into our Chinese territory, of course, depending on your gifts, you know that as Chinese, they don't like to occupy other countries' land all the time! ”
William III glanced at Tang Yunyang, and the other party's intentions were clear in his eyes. If China has Truk and Irian Islands, then almost half of the vast North Pacific Ocean can be included in China's sphere of influence.
Although this will make China the world's number one power, will the wet and hot South Seas be comparable to Germany's relative to the fallen Wilhelm III? In addition, if he does not agree now, will the other party let the nearby Australian army take advantage of the war to destroy him?
"My honorable sir, this is your permanent domain, and I will not interfere with whomever you wish to keep it or for yourself. Of course, if this is the case, you will have to provide the armament of the army that I will need to return to Germany in the future! ”
"Of course, there is no problem at all, you know that I am the number one arms dealer in the world, and any weapons and equipment are not too difficult for me!"
This is what politicians do every day to see what they can trade and what benefits they can get, so these people who are between businessmen and conspirators are definitely not noble people.
During this period of time in mid-April, Tang Yunyang and Wilhelm III signed the famous "Irian Secret Agreement", the main purpose of which was that China would use all feasible means, including force, to facilitate the return of the German imperial family to Germany. Germany will pay in return for the islands and Irian islands in the Pacific.
Although the agreement was signed at a time when the German imperial family was in an unfavorable environment, the agreement had a slight taste of taking advantage of others, but if he could return to Germany and continue to play the role of his emperor, Wilhelm III had nothing to complain about.
So, could Wilhelm III return to Germany? This will be as much a question as whether the Russian imperial family will be able to return to Russia. The future of Germany would be in Hitler's hands, and the Bohemian corporal was still in the hospital treating his injured eye from poison gas.
So how did he develop in Germany? Without him, would the Second World War have been fought? Without him, would the Jews have fled Germany and eventually formed Israel in the Middle East, and would the Soviet Union have become the number one power in World War II. What worries him especially is that without Manstein, there are still people under him who can remember the "Manstein" plan.
These are all problems that must be solved one by one in the future.

Anyway, because of the interests of the future, the two foxes have stood together, and they have done something that will have an impact on the future.
After completing the "Irian Island Secret Agreement", Tang Yunyang was ready to get up and return to China, and he had to go about his own business. After all, whether or not it can help the royal families of Russia and Germany to restore their countries in the future depends entirely on whether China has enough strength to support them in the future.
By the time Tang Yunyang turned back to China, the whole of Europe was in chaos because of what had happened in Germany. The Allies forced Germany to surrender, and a large number of physically and mentally wounded German soldiers returned to their homeland, leading to a large number of violent incidents. Even the leftist forces who attended the funeral of the leader assassinated by right-wingers had a violent fight.
Prime Minister Max? Feng? Baden handed over power to SPD Chairman Friedrich? Albert. However, Baden's actions did not satisfy the masses.
Thus, the next day a revolutionary government called the People's Assembly was formed, consisting of three representatives of the SPD and three representatives of the Independent Social Democratic Party, composed of Albert and Hugo? Haas leads. Although the new government was recognized by the Workers' and Soldiers' Council in Berlin, it was Rosa? Luxembourg vs. Karl? The Spartak League, led by Liebknecht, was opposed.
From August 1918 to December 1918, Germany was effectively ruled by the People's Deputies. During these three months, the new government was surprisingly active, issuing a large number of decrees.
Its activities are mostly limited to a few areas, including the eight-hour working day, domestic labour reform, agricultural labour reform, civil servants' union rights, local social welfare, national health insurance, the return of refurbished workers, the fight against forced demobilization and the appeal system, the regulation of salary agreements, and the introduction of universal suffrage for all classes of persons over 20 years of age at the local and national levels.
In Germany at this time, there was a lot of farce after the Xinhai Revolution in China. As far as Tang Yunyang is concerned, he just thinks that Europe is not lively enough, but now is not the time to play the game there!
