When she learned that the great Marshal Moltke had succeeded in capturing Chalon, which the cowardly Poles had been unable to capture last time, De Joyline organized a large-scale celebration of the German diaspora in Jiangning, which was held at the German Embassy.

De Jonglin is really too patriotic, of course, this is mainly because he is providing services to his homeland, if his homeland does not need his services, and the French are willing to let him help with financing and ordering, De Celin can also be a pacifist, or an internationalist.

The capture of Chalons can be seen as a partial victory at the Second Battle of the Marne, but it was important because it meant that the direct link between the Lorraine Line and Paris was broken.

At the celebration reception, De Xuanlin was the guest of honor of the German ambassador, and his status is now higher than that of the managers of German giants such as Krupp in China.

De Xuanlin had a good conversation with the ambassador, but he hoped to get more information, and he was most worried about whether China would enter the war.

On the issue of China's entry into the war, De Xuanlin turned to a pacifist mentality, and he did not want China to enter the war. Because once China enters the war, it means that his business of exploiting China's productive forces and grabbing high war profits may be affected. Because once China enters the war, China's arsenals are likely to cut off supplies to him. After those government-run arsenals stopped supplying, the private supply channels that De Xuanlin had set up at present could not meet their orders in a short time.

On the other hand, although Germany currently has the advantage in the war, once China enters the war, the war is likely to end soon, which is not conducive to his plan to make a fortune.

According to the ambassador's judgment, the possibility of China entering the war is becoming less and less, because Britain still has no intention of entering the war, and if Britain does not enter the war, Germany will not be able to take advantage of the Sino-German alliance to draw China into the war, and this short-term alliance will expire in three days. After the expiration date, even if Britain entered the war, China would have no reason to enter the war. In this civilized era, despite the uncivilized deeds of all countries, the basic face is still needed. Therefore, there is no such thing as a sudden entry into the war without any reason. This kind of thing is rare in Europe when Japan sneaks up.

The ambassador's judgment that China might not join the war was well-founded, because so far Germany had been very active in trying to extend the Sino-German alliance, but China was not enthusiastic about it, and made it clear that the alliance could not be extended.

Unless all the British cabinets and parliaments have a nervous breakdown during these three days, Britain will never attack Germany, and even if it does, it will do so three days later, so as not to give China a reason to get involved in the war. China's attitude of not wanting to extend the Sino-German alliance is that the ambassador believes that China may no longer be willing to get involved in the war, because judging from the course of the war, even if China enters the war, it will be a protracted war and a war of attrition, and even China is unwilling to fight this kind of war.

China's attitude was very frustrating to the German ambassador, because the Sino-German alliance was now the greatest guarantee against the direct military support of the British to France, and China's refusal to extend the alliance was tantamount to giving up the protection of Germany.

However, the slightly drunk ambassador was full of confidence, believing that Germany had the ability to continue the war in the case of Britain's direct participation in the war, and to achieve the final victory, the ambassador's confidence was that the British army was weak, and even if it participated in the war, it would be difficult to mobilize more than a million troops, and a small force of elite British troops would be of limited help to France.

The ambassador's judgment reassured De Xuanlin that this meant that the war could only expand, not end in the short term. As long as China does not enter the war, even if Britain does, it will only expand the scale of the war and prolong the war, not end the war. Then De Xuanlin's fortune plan will not be affected.

In fact, it is not only businessmen like De Xuanlin who have made war money who are concerned about the question of whether China will enter the war, but the whole world is concerned. Because whether China enters the war or not is decisive. As long as China enters the war, then Germany will win. If China does not enter the war, in fact, it is generally believed that the German power will not have a good chance of winning. Because everyone did not believe that Germany could compete with Britain and France. If Britain and France were united, they would have an overwhelming advantage over Germany in terms of manpower and material resources.

Like the Germans, the Chinese crown prince was very concerned about this issue.

During this time, he was extremely anxious, especially as the time for the Sino-German alliance approached, which made him even more anxious.

The crown prince longs for a war, not because he is belligerent, but because he can no longer tolerate a soft struggle with Britain in the world. As long as Britain is defeated, China will become the world hegemon.

This hegemon is the hegemon under the Chinese world view, which is not the same as the world hegemony established by Britain and the United States, and Chinese politicians are more likely to quote the concept of hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, that is, to establish the concept of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period similar to that of Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Wen of Jin. Through the situation of the alliance of princes, the status of China above other countries was confirmed, and it was responsible for handling, mediating and arbitrating disputes among nations.

Based on this theory, China has established this hegemonic system in many regions, but mainly in the East, and in areas under Chinese influence, as well as China's vassals. China's vassal states, naturally, obey China's opinion, they have no tariffs with China, their monarch canonizes through China, and diplomacy is managed by China, but internal affairs are funded. Among the Eastern countries, Japan is not a vassal state of China, and China does not act as an agent for Japan's diplomacy, but all factions in Japan accept China's arbitration, and the peace between the shogunate and the alliance of the northeastern and southwestern feudal domains is protected and constrained by China. The areas under Chinese influence are mainly overseas corporate territories, the Indian region controlled by African companies, Australia and New Guinea controlled by Australian companies, the Amazon River to La Plata region controlled by American companies, and the Ethiopian plateau and Somalia controlled by European companies, as well as some Mediterranean bases. The territories run by these Chinese companies are governed in the Chinese way and are subject to China's foreign and economic policies.

But there are some independent countries that are beginning to think about this system closer, the United States South split off the Union countries, in recent years with China signed a series of economic, military and political treaties, with China and the sphere of influence ruled by China, canceled all tariffs, militarily sold the Miami area to China to establish a base, so that China's military power finally directly into the Atlantic, politically, signed a series of agreements with China on Indians, promising not to expel Indians to Chinese territory, Establishment of Indian areas in the country. Miami is surrounded by Everglades terrain, and the southern tip of the entire Florida Peninsula where Miami is located is an Indian settlement. It is the territory of the Seminoles, the five major Indian tribes in the south, and after the United States seized Florida, it established a slave plantation here, invaded the land of the Seminoles, and launched several Seminole wars. However, it did not have much success, and only a small number of soldiers remained to run the plantation, and the area was still inhabited by the Indians. Historically, only a handful of families settled in Miami until the late 1890s.

After reaching an Indian resettlement agreement with China, there was no longer any possibility of continuing the genocide of the Indians, and in order to obtain China's protection against the Northern Union, the Confederates preferred to abandon the Indian areas around Miami. They were very dissatisfied with the Indians here, and in addition to their desire to plunder the lands of the Indians, they were also very dissatisfied with the Indians for destroying their slave plantations. The Seminole Indians were very strange in that they did not have a strong sense of race, and they took in a large number of slaves from the inner people who had escaped from the plantations, resulting in the formation of a group such as the Hesseminoleans. The fact that the Seminoles continued to accept fugitive slaves was the cause of the Alliance's resentment against them. Two wars were fought in succession, and the second war spread throughout the Miami area, leaving the local population almost extinct.

After the Civil War, it was difficult for the Confederates to control the Indians in the Miami Swamps, so when China offered to lease the base on the Atlantic coast, they simply sold it to China, and China managed it, plus the agreement signed with China to bind the Indians, and the destruction of American plantations by the Seminoles would gradually disappear.

However, with the exception of the United States, most countries with Western culture do not accept the Chinese system. They were unwilling to submit to China and join the suzerainty system, nor were they willing to form an alliance with China in exchange for Chinese protection by ceding part of their interests.

The crown prince believes that the biggest obstacle is that there is an opponent like Britain that has always dared to confront China head-on, and has always developed well, and has a strong voice in the economic, political, and cultural aspects.

In addition, the crown prince has an extremely unfavorable attitude towards the British, and he has a more fierce confrontation with the British than his father, and has failed once.

He was in charge of the Americas, and although it was a trial, he was at the age of great ambition. The Americas were directly taken under the control of the Zhu family, and then the state and county rule were established. Then, based on the Americas, he began to compete with other countries in the Americas. Unfortunately, however, the strong expansion was thwarted by the Anglo-American alliance formed by the British, and Spain was drawn into a war with the crown prince.

That battle has always been seen as evidence of the crown prince's incompetence. Because of that war, the whole country was dragged into a world war, and although it was won at a heavy price, many political forces believed that the benefits that could be obtained by surrendering the soldiers without a fight without a war were not needed to be used by means of war, and the crown prince was forced to run a war, which was a failure.

So before the war ended, the crown prince was transferred back from the Americas, and then sent to Assam by the emperor, although the crown prince was given the regent titles of two kings, Manipur and Assam, but that time was the most difficult time in the crown prince's life, trembling and full of a sense of crisis.
