Proposals to garrison troops in Datang began to appear in some European countries, which immediately attracted the attention of Datang. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Datang is also a model, and no official opinion has been expressed on it. At the presidential palace, Paiknam summoned Foreign Minister Chu Bai and Defense Minister Seo Do-yun to learn the ins and outs of the incident.

Chu Bai first said: "According to what we know, there is an official background behind the public opinion in Germany and Poland and other countries, and without official acquiescence, it is unlikely that this kind of topic will appear in the public opinion of these countries." Germany sent us an informal note yesterday saying that it would not renew the terms of the alliance and that it would be able to learn about its independent defence policy and respect for Germany's national sovereignty. ”

Bai Nan nodded, his expression was somewhat stiff, and said, "This is because the wings are stiff, and I feel confident enough to say no to us." ”

Xu Daorun made a little explanation at this time, he said: "We have been continuously increasing the deployment of troops in the European theater since 01 year, in fact, all theaters are strengthening, and Europe is not isolated. But when Germany saw that its army had grown from a few thousand to tens of thousands, it was inevitable that there would be some drumming in its heart. Moreover, Germany is not facing major defense pressure now, and among the surrounding countries, the Netherlands and Belgium are not to be feared, Austria has completely declined, Poland is not in the climate, and although France and Italy are strong, Germany's diplomatic methods are very flexible and they get along well. As for the British, they have also lost the ability to attack Germany across the sea, and the British are not going to do this. Therefore, the Germans felt more and more that we were strengthening our forces in order to strengthen our control over Germany, which they were not willing to accept. ”

Chu Bai added: "Poland followed this incident, and Germany also played a trick in it. Taking advantage of the time of industrialization, Germany has cooperated with Polish industries, and has actually tied Poland to its own chariot, many Polish industries are part of Germany's industrial chain, coupled with the friendship cultivated by the two countries during the war, so they like to speak with one voice more and more. Poland is not as developed as Germany, but it is not bad. After all, we turned her into a continental power. Poland did not have a good relationship with Tsarist Russia in the east, and there was pressure on defense, but the Poles also became a little proud, they thought that they could buy better equipment from us than the Russians, and they had 'defeated' the Russians back then, and with the help of Germany, the Russians would not be particularly threatening. ”

Bai Nan pinched his chin and groaned: "Poland is a little unexpected to follow Germany this time. Germany's geographical location is not afraid of anyone, and Poland has a Russia by its side, and it actually wants our Tang army to withdraw from Poland, which is tantamount to self-defeating martial arts. Although, the possibility of Russia attacking Poland is really small, even if we are no longer in Poland, we are still in Estonia and Latvia, and it is still easy to intervene. ”

Xu Daorun said dissatisfiedly: "This is the most annoying thing, these countries are taking advantage of our momentum to fake the tiger, but they don't want to pay anything, and there is not much we can do." ”

Datang does have a card in its hand, against Germany and Poland, Datang can use a variety of means such as trade sanctions, arms trade sanctions, political sanctions, etc., but once this means is used, there will be a serious regression in bilateral relations, Datang itself will lose economic and political interests, and arouse public opinion in Germany and Poland to oppose Datang even more.

Some people may say that Datang is already the world hegemon, so why bother with the opinions of second- and third-rate countries like Germany and Poland. If you want to garrison troops, you can garrison them, just don't leave, Germany and Poland can still maintain their presence here unless they use serious means. However, the significance of the garrison was seriously reduced in this case, and it was in a hostile environment, and it could not play the role of the real Datang preset, which brought more trouble.

First of all, the Tang Dynasty's garrison in Europe is indeed to enhance the sense of existence of the Tang Dynasty and exert more influence on European affairs. Germany's intention to boycott the garrison of the Tang Dynasty is actually a manifestation of its pursuit of stronger national status and strength. Datang did not want to retreat, Germany did not renew the contract, and the legal status of the Tang Army in Germany was questioned. There may be friction between the two sides, such as Germany will cut off power to Datang's military base and refuse to provide supplies. Datang can be solved by sanctions or the use of force, the opportunity to use force is relatively small, and the sanctions are relatively large. After all, the suspension of many cooperation with Germany and the cessation of exports of technology and advanced weapons to Germany could seriously reduce Germany's competitiveness. The Germans did not want to bear this consequence. But in the same way, Datang has invested in a lot of industries in Germany, and once sanctions occur, Datang's interests will also be damaged, although it is nothing in terms of scale and proportion, but in fact, Datang may lose no less than Germany.

Bai Nan was also somewhat hesitant about this matter, this matter was not something that Datang had done wrong at all. European countries are still fundamentally ambitious, even if most of them agree with the status of Datang, but once they have the opportunity, they still want to climb up, even if it is Germany, which should be regarded as an ally of Datang. There are only interests between countries, and the so-called friendship is also built on common interests. At a time when Germany was independent and survival was difficult, Datang was Germany's benefactor and brother; When Germany pursued higher goals, Datang became a stumbling block for Germany.

Germany is not willing to always be subordinate, and even if cooperation continues, Germany wants to be more equal, and it has a bigger plan in mind.

In the end, Bai Nan still solicited opinions from the party, and the attitude of the party on this issue was relatively divided, but most believed that the withdrawal from Germany was not a big deal, because Datang could control the basic territory of the Netherlands and Belgium. These two countries did not exert much effort on their own army building, and basically completely counted on the Tang Army, so they would not be fooled by Germany and invite the Tang Army away.

Datang also carried out some implicit punishment measures against Germany, such as the intensification of commercial competition and the transfer of some technologies. Germany eventually affected the renewal of the stationing rights of several countries, including Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and Datang finally deployed European garrisons in the Netherlands, Belgium, Estonia, Latvia, and Dalmatia.

However, this concession by Datang triggered a series of fissions over a long period of time, which eventually reshaped the pattern of Europe. (To be continued.) )
