Section 320 Zeppelin's death
Everyone watched as the Chinese were negotiating with the great powers while creating contradictions with Russia. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Westerners are not fools, they can also see that the Chinese are playing balance, they are profiteering, and they want to seize power while the powers are in war, but they have no way, this is not a conspiracy, this is a conspiracy, how can you understand it, you have no way at all.
Westerners know that if they can satisfy China's appetite, the Chinese will also die down, but if they can't be satisfied, the Chinese really can't say that they want to join the war, China occupies the absolute initiative, this advantage allows fools to play, then it can also play beautifully, because the Chinese's card is a bomb, how do you let others fight?
In response to this situation, a large number of colonial leaders who had developed the interests of the Great Powers in the East were deeply distressed, and they said that the infighting among the Westerners was a tragedy altogether, and began to call on their respective governments to stop the war and seek peace in the West, otherwise the Westerners would lose control of the world and would surrender the world to China or the United States.
These appealers, mainly colonial officials such as China and India, unfortunately see the greater good, or the narrower interest, in their home countries, and they believe that if they win the war, they can win everything, that everything lost in the war will be recovered from the opponent, that the victors share the fruits of victory, and that the losers bear the costs of the war.
It is right to say that they are far-sighted, and it is right to say that they are narrow-minded, because they see the ability to struggle, and if they are narrow-minded, they are limited to Europe, and they do not look at the world, and do not see that other places are quietly rising.
The most important thing is that the Anglo-French Entente bloc is becoming more and more optimistic at this time, and more and more that they will win the war, and the entry of the United States will give them sufficient fresh forces, even if it is a war of attrition, and they will win in the end.
Britain and France were as optimistic as they were at the beginning of the war.
However, the Germans do not think that they have lost, with the end of China's war against Japan, the scale of air transport has expanded exponentially, China's huge airships can be dispatched 10,000 to participate in the transportation, a large number of food, manpower and materials are transported to Europe, and the maximum monthly transportation capacity can reach 5 million tons.
Although the Americans joined, the Russians withdrew, and in the eyes of the Germans, the Americans were bluffing, and the combat ability of the American GIs was not as good as the Russian steam steamroller, and the combat quality of the American GIs was completely amateurish in the eyes of the Germans.
Therefore, with the support of sufficient supplies, mainly food and medicine, the Germans also became more and more confident of victory, but they also knew that it was impossible to achieve a quick victory, and it was impossible to end the war as soon as possible unless they could get up to 6 million Chinese troops to join.
So the Germans have been trying to reach a military alliance treaty with China, so that Chinese can immediately enter the war, and the conflict between China and Russia is a good opportunity for Germany to be very operable, and they keep lobbying Chinese that as long as China can defeat the Tsar's army, they can persuade Soviet Russia to be neutral and allow Chinese troops to pass through Russia.
As the Entente became more and more supportive of the Tsar, the Germans also began to support Soviet Russia, otherwise the Red Guards, who had no source of weapons at all, would not have been able to drag on for so long, even if they were brave in Tama.
But the efforts of the Germans have never been fruitful, the Chinese are willing to talk to them, one talk at a time, but never express their position, never make commitments, the Germans try to find a way to break through at the top, but after Yang Chao became president, he always used the excuse of busy official business and rarely met with German diplomats.
But today the Germans found an opportunity.
Qingdao railway station, has been under martial law, a large group of Germans and Chinese on the station are waiting, they are waiting for Yang Chao's special train, soon a train with the golden dragon logo, with the golden dragon flag into the railway station, a large number of German diplomats immediately adjusted their state, squeezed out a smile to the door, but they were disappointed that the train only pulled some presidential travel supplies, Yang Chao was not on the train.
At the same time, an airship slowly landed on the west side of Jiaozhou Bay, a wide street facing the sea.
Zeppelinstraße!
This street, named after Zeppelin, has no tall and ornate buildings on either side of the street, but all reinforced concrete buildings with less than six floors, which are mainly practical.
However, the status of this street in Qingdao is extremely prominent, and it is thought that the Zeppelin-Yang Chao airship company is here.
Not only that, but because the airship company is here, it has attracted a large number of world-class suppliers.
Many of them have gone from here to the world's best, such as ZF, such as Diesel, and even Krupp has set up a factory here to produce high-strength bolts.
It was not only a spare parts base, but also a technology center, and the appeal of Zeppelin allowed him to attract a large number of German technicians, who started out at the Zeppelin company, such as Plante and Rockefeller.
But these technical geniuses, there are also restless guys, they develop, design, and present their valuable ideas in the Zeppelin company, but they always have their own unique ideals, and some people don't want to build airships forever, like Maybach.
Driven by a large group of design geniuses and mechanical geniuses, it has become the technology center and entrepreneurship center of Shandong and even China, but there are still very few Chinese entrepreneurs, there are many Germans and Americans, and there are many Chinese people who participate in it, and many students who graduated from technical schools are recruited here as workers, but there are still few Chinese entrepreneurs with strong design ability, after all, in the field of cutting-edge mechanical technology, the Chinese have not yet appeared talented geniuses, but Yang Chao believes that sooner or later they will appear.
The airship was parked directly on the office building of the Zeppelin Company, behind which was a large and large factory, and on the left was a residential area with villas and dormitories.
Walking down the building, there were already men waiting, and immediately got into the black car and drove to Zeppelin's house.
The reason why Yang Chao hid from the world and openly said that he was taking a train, but quietly came here by an airship, was because Zeppelin died.
It was more than half a year later than the original history, but he still died, he was worried about the fate of Germany, and in recent years **** has suffered.
Zeppelin was a typical German Junker aristocrat, went to military school, served as a soldier, after the outbreak of the war, he was busy raising money in Qingdao all day, using his personal prestige to raise more than 200 million taels of funds for Germany, and he sold almost all of his shares in the airship company.
But after all, he was already an eighty-year-old man, and finally did not survive his eightieth birthday.
The close relationship between Yang Chao and Zeppelin is a secret known to the whole world, which makes the Germans feel that this is an opportunity, an opportunity to prompt Yang Chao to make a decision in favor of Germany.
But Yang Chao didn't want to connect his personal feelings with politics, so he didn't want to meet any German officials, so he came to Zeppelin's home without telling the truth. (To be continued.) )
