Chapter 42 is a big talk
When the night slowly opened, the feast of the manor slowly entered the **, the open-air venue was filled with all kinds of food and wine, and the laughter was accompanied by the blonde beauties dancing in the crowd.
Almost all of Berlin's high society gathered here, and celebrities of all kinds mingled through the crowd to talk to each other, toast each other, sing and laugh, and the scene was even more lively.
A large group of people gathered in one corner of the venue, and they surrounded a large circle, listening carefully to the speech of a tall, handsome but yellow-skinned young Chinese with black hair and yellow skin in the middle of the circle, and this young man was of course Li Yi.
Li Yi has encountered too many cattle in this era today, Billo, Moltke Jr., Schlieffen, Ludendorff, Hindenburg, etc., Li Yi also went from being shocked and restrained at the beginning to slowly adapting and boasting, these cattle people have nothing, they also have two eyes and a nose, Li Yi has the cheating weapon of "golden finger", and now it is not Li Yi who worships them, but they worship Li Yi.
"Lee! What kind of country do you think our German Empire was? Birlo asked.
"Germany is a young, dynamic and ambitious country!" Li Yi said affirmatively.
"Why do you say we're ambitious? We are a peace-loving country, and you see that our German Empire does not have a single overseas colony, does this not mean that we are a peace-loving country that is friendly and harmonious with other countries? A dark-haired man in his thirties asked rhetorically.
Li Yi turned his head to look, and the person who spoke was a Germanic man with long black hair, he was more than 1.7 meters tall, which was considered a medium stature in Germany, with a Chinese face with shining eyes, and although there was a pair of mustaches on the corners of his mouth, he had no sense of laughter and a serious demeanor.
Li Yi looked at it with a smile, and secretly said in his heart that it is not that you Germany do not want to invade others and let yourself have overseas colonies, but that you are too young, and with the two mountains of Britain and France pressing on you, how can you get colonies?
"Mr. Helmut Johannes Ludwig von Moltke is a great name, and you and your uncle are great men!" Li Yi recognized his identity at a glance, little Moltke he had an uncle named Old Moltke, and their names were exactly the same.
was praised by Li Yi so much, and a proud smile also appeared on Moltke's serious face.
"I say that the German Empire is an ambitious country for no other reason than because you are young." Li Yi's attitude gradually became serious: "Germany is a great country, but you are facing many difficulties, if you want to open up space for development, you must maintain an ambitious ambition." ”
The topic slowly entered the result that Li Yi wanted, Li Yi came this time to provoke the ambitions of this group of young officers and politicians, because the future of Germany belongs to them, and Li Yi's development needs the cooperation of German ambitions, and Li Yi wants to instill these ambitions in them decades in advance.
"Let's start with the geography of your Germany, you are located in the interior of Europe, and there is only one port to the sea, if such a geographical location is not friendly with the surrounding countries, you will be in great trouble."
"From the perspective of the international environment, your country is not a very good country with France, Tsarist Russia, and Austria-Hungary, and they are precisely on the east and west lines of your country. And the sea is also firmly controlled by the British Empire, and you tell me what kind of country your country will become if you have no ambition, and what kind of country will become in many years, I don't think I need to say this, you imperial elites all know it in their hearts. ”
The surrounding crowd heard Li Yi point out the situation facing the country so bluntly, and they all fell silent, all carefully digesting Li Yi's remarks.
"Military! We want to develop the military, as long as we have a strong military force, then there is everything! It took a long time for Schlieffen to shout. Schlieffen's voice was loud, attracting everyone around him.
"That's right! Schlieffen is right, as long as we have a strong military, then we have everything! Everyone joined in, but not everyone agreed, and one of them, an old man in his fifties, looked at the group of scrappy young people with concern.
"Have you ever thought about how to develop your military? A strong military is not something that can be achieved by talking about it. Li Yi asked rhetorically.
"We will advise His Majesty the Emperor to let His Majesty the great German Wilhelm attach importance to the development of the military, and we will also dedicate this life to the army!" Schlieffen clenched his fists and said excitedly.
"A strong army must be developed, but it is not advisable to blindly expand the army with only one blood, and the consequences of this are terrible, causing irreversible damage to the whole society and making the people's lives even more difficult!" Li Yi said.
"Good boy!" The old man with a worried face just now squeezed through the crowd.
"Hello, Lord Count Waldsee!" The people around him obviously knew the old man and greeted him warmly.
Li Yi finally knew who this old man was, Count Alfred Graff von Wadsey, a close confidant of Wilhelm, two years after Wilhelm II ascended the throne, he would become the chief of staff of the German army, but he was a typical combination of conservatives and radicals, he was conservative in his thinking, rejecting the application of new technologies such as machine guns, telephones, airships and internal combustion engines in the army, his war ideas were very radical and he was a fanatical initiator of war. In the years when he was chief of staff, the German ** team can actually be said to be a few years of delay.
"Young man, tell me what you think!" Wadsey looked at Li Yi and said with a smile.
When Li Yi saw Wadsey coming, he temporarily changed the prepared speech, and he wanted to make the Earl realize the necessity of using advanced technology in the army.
"Dear Count Wahid, it's a pleasure to meet you!" After Li Yi bent down to salute, he said: "I think the construction of the army must change with the progress of the times, and cannot stick to the rules, I heard that there is a very powerful firearm in the United States, it is a terrible repeating gun, and the firepower of one gun is comparable to the firepower coverage of hundreds of our guns, so we must pay attention to this problem in army building, and it is necessary to equip ourselves with more advanced weapons." ”
"In addition, with the development of communication equipment, the army must pay attention to the application of telephone communication, so that it can understand the situation of the army and issue orders in a timely manner.
