Located at the junction of the kingdoms of Württemberg and Bavaria, which belonged to the German Empire, on the verge of the Kohel River, a tributary of the Rhine, there is a very inconspicuous town called Swabia, which can be found throughout the prosperous western part of the German Empire, and no one will notice their existence. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info@,.. However, in the General Staff of the German Empire, Swabian was a small city with a big name. Because back in 1782, Duke Karl II of Württemberg. Eugen set up a secret weapons test site, the Eplat test site, just south of the city of Swabia. After the unification of the German Empire, it became a military center of the Imperial Army. Large swathes of the surrounding land have been fenced off as military exclusion zones.

December 28, 1899, was less than four days before the century. There is not the slightest festive atmosphere around this German Army weapons experimental base, and it even seems a little weird. The number of guards around the base has increased at least threefold. In addition to the original fixed sentry, a number of patrols led by German black wolfdogs were added, and on the road from Swabia to the Eplatte test base, there were five steps and one post, and ten steps and one sentry, all of which were Imperial gendarmes wearing long coats and black steel helmets.

Four Mercedes-Benz cars powered by 48-horsepower engines with six cylinders sped over the highway guarded by the gendarmerie. Because of the butterfly effect of Zhu Jishi - his outstanding contributions in the fields of chemistry, biology, and medicine, as well as the establishment of the Jason Central Laboratory and the Daming Royal Laboratory - the scientific, technological and industrial development of this time and space is more than 20 years ahead of the original history! Although the 20th century is still a few days away, there are automobiles, airplanes, airships, submarines, and large warships that are 30,000 tons and 40,000 tons and are powered by heavy oil boilers and turbine steam engines. It's all already there.

The German Empire, which combined the essence of British and German industrial technology. In the field of cutting-edge technology, especially cutting-edge military technology. It is the Great Chinese Empire that is better than the world domination and stands at the highest peak of the world -- at least the German Emperor Wilhelm II himself who sat in one of the Mercedes cars thought so.

However, the German Empire, which possessed advanced technology, was in a state of being crushed by the Great Chinese Empire, which dominated the world, in many fields such as population, land, resources, industrial scale, and economic aggregate -- according to the words of the iron-blooded prime minister in his twilight years who was ousted by Wilhelm II 10 years ago: This is a confrontation between half of Europe and half of the world, and the Chinese Empire has two or 30 times more land than us, six times the population, five times the industrial scale, and twice as much naval tonnage as us...... There is no chance of winning a full-scale confrontation with such a superpower, and it will only destroy the hard-won empire!

But what if the German Reich could unite Europe first? It's quite possible! The situation in Europe is no longer as chaotic as it was a few decades ago, and it has changed from a cluster of small countries to a juxtaposition of several large consortia of states. The most powerful was of course the German-English and Scottish-Polish republicans; followed by the Eastern Roman Empire, which turned the Mediterranean Sea into an inland lake; again, the Slavic Socialist Union Republics, which emerged after the Russian Civil War; In fourth place was the United Austrian-Hungarian Empire; In fifth place is the Swedish-Norwegian-Finnish Monarchy Union. Outside the five major European powers, only a few small countries remained: the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, and Denmark.

And not all of the five major European powers are physically strong. The Swedish-Norwegian-Finnish Kingdom of Sweden, which occupies the north, is a big wall, and Rome follows Rome when it is strong, and Germany when it is strong. The Slavic Socialist Republic, which occupies the east, is a loyal ally of Germany, and Western Siberia in the east of the country is still under the rule of the Chinese-backed Romanov dynasty and is a sworn enemy of the Slavic Narodnaya Narodnaya Narodnamen. As long as the Slavic Narodnaya Volyaya did not destroy the Kingdom of Siberia for a single day, their main focus could only be placed on the east, which became the eastern barrier of the German Empire. As for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it has been in continuous weakening for the past 20 years, with the Slavs fighting for independence internally, and the three major empires of Germany, Slav and Rome on the outside, not surviving. The rise of the German Empire could not be stopped at all.

The only obstacle to Germany's hegemony in Europe was the decaying Roman Empire. Oh. Or to be more precise, just the Roman Eastern Empire. Because Mathilde I, the ruler of the Western Roman Empire, had returned to God 12 hours earlier!

"My marshal, the Roman Empire has lost more than half of its strength, and I think it's time to smash it!" Wilhelm II turned his head and looked at the Chief of the Imperial General Staff beside him, Alfred Brown. Feng. Field Marshal Schlieffen.

"Your Majesty, my opinion is that we should support Napoleon IV in putting pressure on his cousin." Alfred. Feng. Schlieffen lifted the frame of his glasses and whispered, "In exchange, Napoleon IV should divide the Austro-Hungarian Empire with us and the Slavic Union." ”

"Why is that? Couldn't the Roman Empire, an empty shell empire, be smashed directly? ”

"Your Majesty, bread should be eaten in one bite, and chewing slowly will help digestion." Field Marshal Schlieffen smiled and explained, "If we rashly make a big war with Napoleon IV...... It is true that we can win, but the biggest winner is not us! Moreover, it is difficult for us to get enough benefits. ”

"That's right, Juan will be the biggest winner!" Wilhelm II nodded, "Once the Eastern Roman Empire is defeated by us, Juan's Kingdom of Mexico will be the only leader that the Western Roman Empire can rely on, and he will become the master of all of Latin America at that time!" But...... Latin America cannot be confronted by any means with Europe! ”

"What if you add Donghua, Beihua and the whole of Greater China?"

"Greater China? Wasn't their Emperor Xuanwu worried that Juan would become the Great of the Americas? Wilhelm II shook his head.

"This is not a difficult problem to solve, Your Majesty, don't forget that the Emperor of China is still alive, and he must have a way to reconcile the contradictions between his two sons.

In fact, there was little unifying power between the Eastern Chinese and Roman Western Empires. The Roman Western Empire did not need Donghua's agricultural products, and it was also necessary to provide enough cheap and high-quality light industrial products to Donghua. On top of that, the Western Roman Empire was a predominantly white empire, while Donghua was a yellow country, and once the Eastern and Western Roman Empires merged, the dominance of the Yellow people in Donghua would be challenged.

Moreover, the current king of Donghua, Zhu Bangyu, does not have the right to inherit the Mexican throne, because his identity cannot be recognized by the Catholic Church. In addition, Juan of Mexico, who married Maria of the Bonaparte family 10 years ago. Letizia also gave birth to her son, Juan II, who is the heir to the throne of the future Kingdom of Mexico......"

The special relationship between Mexico and Donghua is the focus of all international political experts in this time and space, and it has been studied to the point of transparency. Naturally, a figure like Schlieffen is an expert on the Donghua-Mexico issue.

He continued to say: "Mexico and Donghua can fight side by side, but it is impossible to merge into one country, so the Ming Empire will still support Juan to become the ruler of Western Rome." ”

"So we can only support Napoleon IV?" Wilhelm II was a little reluctant, and although he was good friends with Napoleon IV in his youth, personal friendship was never a substitute for national interests.

"Our support is not conditional, we want to take Austria, Bohemia and Moravia."

"But Napoleon IV was also able to take Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Mendinegro, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina...... In this partition, the Roman Empire did not suffer! ”

"Yes, if you look at the map, the Roman Empire does not suffer. But the acquisition of those lands and populations did not contribute to the strength of the Roman Empire, but rather dispersed the already modest power of the Roman Empire. After the fall of Austria-Hungary, the Roman Empire was to defend both us and the Slavs in the Balkans. This will certainly weaken the defenses of France, the core of the Roman Eastern Empire, and facilitate our surprise attack on it! ”

"The plan for a surprise attack is already there?" Wilhelm II asked with interest. Solving the Roman Eastern Empire with a quick surprise attack was a principle that was set as early as 10 years. But principle is one thing, planning and implementation are another. As early as the reign of Napoleon III, the French and Roman Empires spent huge sums of money to build Jérôme. The Peel Line, which stretches nearly 700 kilometers from the Swiss and French borders to the sea. And for decades, the reinforcement and expansion of this line has never stopped. According to the information available to the Germans, about 14,000 permanent fortifications of various purposes were built along the entire defensive line, with a density of 20 fortifications per kilometer of frontage. The roof and walls of the strongest reinforced concrete fortifications were up to 3.5 meters thick, and the armor of the armored towers was 300 mm thick, both of which were resistant to direct hits from two 420-mm mortar guns. Wires and trenches are densely packed, and the total length can circle the earth several times! And in all the important areas, powerful electrified wires are installed!

"Yes, Your Majesty, we already have a plan for a raid!" Field Marshal Schlieffen smiled and nodded, "The raid plan is based on an unprecedented and powerful weapon, the armored fighting vehicle, and its appearance will completely render the fortifications of trenches and wires completely useless overnight!" "To be continued. )
