"Your Majesty, we have supported him too much, and this time the British are dissatisfied." Little Moltke looked at the back of Hu Xiaoyan who was walking away and said softly.

"Haven't you seen it yet?" Wilhelm II picked up an English version of The Rise of the Great Powers.

"He grew up in England and was educated in England! He's an Englishman through and through! ”

Moltke looked at the book in disbeseef. That book and the supremacy of science were all translated by him.

"The British look down on others from the bottom of their bones, they advocate attack! And the East gave him the characteristics of forbearance and letting go of the aristocratic figure to learn. I don't think he's like a Qing guy, but more like a Japanese. Wilhelm II shook his head.

"The British must have been deceived by him." This William II had no doubts, "because the Japanese are the dogs of the British." So both the British and the Russians were his enemies. This point is clearly and clearly written in the book. It's just a pity that the arrogant British must not see this. Even if they can see it, they will selectively not see it. ”

"Your Majesty, you mean that the British will also support Lee? Why is that? Moltke was puzzled. Moltke Jr. was an excellent general, but he was definitely not a qualified staff officer.

"The Japanese should never have defeated the Russian fleet. The Japanese army was already good enough, and as a result their navy defeated the Russians again. ”

"So the Japanese are no longer very obedient. The British needed the Qing people to restrain the Japanese, lest the dogs bite their masters' fingers. Little Moltke suddenly realized.

And Cha Cha Lee is a British Chinese who grew up in the UK. This is simply a gift from God to the UK. "Wilhelm II opened the book, and on the first page of the book was written a sentence: science and technology are the primary productive forces.

"But why did Lee study German again?" Moltke was a little curious about this.

"That's why I said he looked a little bit Japanese. Unscrupulous for the sake of the end! Wilhelm II smiled slightly, "Did the British really help them?" No! The British will not do such a thing that is not beneficial! ”

"But we will!" Little Moltke suddenly realized. Because England was the enemy of Germany.

"We hope that there will be a helper in the East who can contain Russia and Britain, and that the Qing will have an opportunity to join the great powers. This is an opportunity that no country will give, only we in Germany can give. Wilhelm II watched the rise of the great powers in his hands, "and he saw it better than anyone else, because he was the author of the book." So I am willing to fulfill him, even if he will become a formidable opponent for us in the future. But that was decades or even a hundred years later. ”

"So we don't need to worry about the unknowns of the future. And he will definitely be a strong helper for us. Moltke went on to say that his train of thought was opened.

You can't blame Wilhelm II and Moltke for thinking so, it's really that there are too many gray animals in the old Maozi. As long as the tsar wants, he can always call up 10 million, 20 million or even more than 50 million cheap cannon fodder! Any single country would not be able to resist this gray flow of people. Even with the power of Europe as a whole, it is not enough. This is one of the reasons why Russia is called the gendarme of Europe. The world's science and technology have not yet developed such a weapon of mass destruction as missiles, let alone a deterrent weapon such as a nuclear warhead. More than 50 million grey animals are enough to upend any country.

If there is one country in this world that can withstand Russia, then there is no doubt that only the Manchus can do it. Only the Manchus were able to find more than 20 million cannon fodder at any time like Russia.

Population is the most important strength after technology.

Hu Xiaoyan didn't know that Wilhelm II had high expectations for him at this time, he just felt a little sorry for Angel. Since Hu Xiaoyan landed on the British Peninsula, the two have basically not had much time to be alone, even this wedding trip is a cover for Hu Xiaoyan's layout. Every time he can't play happily, Hu Xiaoyan holds a bunch of local business information to conduct research every night. Every day, it's either in the factory or in the car.

"I'm sorry." Hu Xiaoyan met Angel who was drinking tea in the garden, accompanied by Moltke's wife. Madame smiled knowingly and walked away.

Angel's beautiful eyebrows were raised, revealing a questioning expression.

Hu Xiaoyan walked over with a wry smile, hugged Angel tightly, and leaned over his head to stick to Angel's cheek.

Angel didn't say anything, she closed her eyes, and just hugged Hu Xiaoyan's head with both hands. The two of them enjoyed this rare sunshine.

Angel studied education with Mike. Although she didn't quite understand what Hu Xiaoyan was going to do, she never craved Hu Xiaoyan's favor until she couldn't help her, they were childhood sweethearts who knew each other, and this moment of tranquility was already enough to cherish memories in her heart.

Wilhelm II returned to the palace the same day, leaving Moltke and a group of staff officers to help Hu Xiaoyan formulate and refine his expansion plan.

The agreement between the two was divided into two parts: one was economic, and Germany would organize a group of businessmen to visit Anhui and eventually open related companies. Lay the foundation for Hu Xiaoyan's light industry and commerce, and at the same time create profits for Germany. The second is the military aspect, Germany will send 100 active officers, the chief officer is a major, the deputy is a captain, and the other officer groups who are also lieutenants will help Hu Xiaoyan train the army and open a military school. Don't think that just one major in the officer corps is too low. You must know that every German non-commissioned officer, every time he gets to other countries, his military rank can be promoted by at least one level. Even the famous Rommel was only a company commander when he debuted, and by the beginning of World War II, he was only a tank battalion commander. He rose through the ranks at the beginning of World War II.

In addition to this, there is support in education, as in the UK. The UK accepts 200 university students from Hu Xiaoyan every year to study at a UK university. Because Hu Xiaoyan is an individual, not a representative of the Qing State. Therefore, the fee for these two hundred people is to be paid by Hu Xiaoyan.

Germany has promised to accept no more than 500 students a year to study at German universities, of which at least 300 will enter German universities to study physics and chemistry, and at least 50 will become assistants to German experts. This is what Moltke promised and wrote into the agreement. Among them, the German ** school also promised to accept 100 non-commissioned officers and students every year. They will receive exactly the same treatment as the German cadets.

There are 40 more agreements than the British side, each with specific sub-items under it. Every small item is even down to every penny of subsidy for each student or non-commissioned officer student.

From here, Hu Xiaoyan finally understood why Li Hongzhang finally chose Germany as his largest arms supplier and instructor exporter after visiting Germany.

Germany was truly the first Western country in the world to treat the Manchus as an equal country! Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty was still a delicious steak in the eyes of Germany.

The German side of this agreement is definitely invested in hundreds of millions of marks, and Hu Xiaoyan pays a maximum of 5 million pounds. Although Germany ultimately made more than 100 million marks in profit from Anhui. But this equal and rigorous attitude deeply shocked Hu Xiaoyan.

The equal attitude of the Germans not only moved Li Hongzhang, but also Hu Xiaoyan. When he saw this agreement, he took a deep breath! In the past, he regarded Wilhelm II as just an ambitious secondary second. At this moment, if anyone says that Wilhelm II is a military idiot, he will definitely hammer this man to death. This agreement and its impact are simply not something that ordinary people can think of.

Wilhelm II's vision is not at all within ten or twenty years. He, like Taizu, saw the general trend a hundred years later. It's just a pity that he was born at the wrong time! His allies were also very weak. Even if Austria-Hungary can't stop a wave of Russian offensives, as long as Austria-Hungary can delay Russia's time for even a real battle. Wilhelm II was also enough to destroy both England and France. In the same way, he also overestimated Moltke's staff skills, even if Moltke Jr. had half the decision of the old Moltke, Germany would never be defeated so quickly.

Wilhelm II, the long-sighted German emperor, could only end up being a tragedy. His ambition was only failed because he was entrusted to a non-human being.

Each of the 49 agreements was beneficial to Hu Xiaoyan, but it also tied Hu Xiaoyan to the German chariot, whether it was light industry or heavy industry, whether it was people's livelihood or military. Germany will eventually become Hu Xiaoyan's most stable and reliable ally.

This is also what Hu Xiaoyan is looking forward to. Britain essentially lost the opportunity to preserve the honor of the empire on which the sun never sets, even before the First World War. Turning to the world encyclopedia, we can see that after 1900, several studies that influenced the general trend of the world, except for the dreadnought, there is not a single technology in the United Kingdom. Among them, Germany and the United States have the most technologies. Germany and the United States are the countries with the greatest scientific and technological potential in the world. That is why Germany was able to challenge the whole world twice with its small territory and insufficient population. That's why the United States became the boss of the whole world after World War II.

In fact, in the villa of Moltke Jr. in 1899, Hu Xiaoyan has seen it clearly. Germany needs Hu Xiaoyan, and Hu Xiaoyan needs Germany even more. China wants to catch up with Europe and the United States. Germany was his only ally and his only hope. Only Germany will do its best to help him. He is the only one who will do his best to help Germany reach the top. It's a mutually beneficial deal.

It's just that the only thing that Wilhelm II didn't expect was that Hu Xiaoyan knew the general trend of history from the beginning! Germany could not have succeeded. Because the United States is the most powerful industrial power in the world! Even if Germany can agree to Europe, even if Hu Xiaoyan drags Russia down. Once American industry is in full swing, a steady stream of weapons and warships will overwhelm Germany like a flood. In a world without missiles and nuclear warheads, no one and no country can stop the torrent of steel from the United States.
