The fleet of the Qing Dynasty slowly docked at the port of Dagu in Tianjin, and Guan Xuqing, still wearing the bright yellow military uniform, stepped off the warship in high spirits, and got on the train back to Beijing under the strict protection of the local army

Although the triad alliance between China, Germany, and Russia, which Britain, France, and Japan feared, was not reached, the relations between China and Germany have become closer, and it can even be said that China and Germany have been firmly tied together

In order to meet the massive orders of the Qing Dynasty, Germany has more than doubled its factories and purchased a large amount of raw materials

Therefore, Wilhelm II was very nervous about Guan Xuqing's farewell this time, thinking that it was because of Russia's opposition and the failure to reach a three-** alliance that made the young Chinese emperor return to the Forbidden City ahead of schedule

When Guan Xuqing had not yet stepped into the palace gate, he had already received the news that the German ambassador to Beijing had handed over a sign asking to see him, the corners of Guan Xuqing's mouth rose slightly, and he said to Wang Feng beside him with a smile: "You have been in Germany for three years, do you know the customs and habits of the Germans?" ”

Wang Feng scratched his head, smiled embarrassedly and said: "Back to the emperor, you know, I went to Germany for three years as a rough man, and I can't even speak a word of German, don't talk about any customs and habits, anyway, those yellow-haired foreigners look similar, they look like cats with green eyes, and they chirp crookedly, and they all say it crookedly, and they don't know it."

"Hahaha, you don't even speak German, how did you lead the special forces to win the first place in the competition?" Guan Xuqing asked suspiciously

"The emperor doesn't know, we communicate with the German special forces with gestures, and we all learned it in school, and we have a translator from the Qing Dynasty," Wang Feng said proudly

Guan Xuqing nodded with a smile, and suddenly asked: "You are a straight intestine, very similar to the Germans, there is a thing to say, everything is on your face, I like you to see this very much, let's not say goodbye, the Germans are in a hurry, I haven't entered the palace yet, the signs they want to see have been handed to me."

"Huh? The emperor can leave whenever he wants, and he still needs their consent? It's the other way around," Wang Feng shouted loudly

Guan Xuqing looked at Wang Feng and shook his head, waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about the Germans, I will stay in Beijing for a day today, and have a meal with me in the evening, and I will send an edict early tomorrow morning, telling the whole ** team that you will select special forces members, and those who are selected will leave the original unit immediately and belong to your control."

"Emperor Xie still wants to go to Liu Junmen's troops to pick, we have feelings for the old troops, and there are several of my former subordinates who are very suitable."

"It's up to you, in short, what I want is a warrior who can pull teeth out of the tiger's mouth, how many people do you need for your special forces?" Guan Xuqing asked

Wang Feng thought for a while and then replied: "200 people are enough, and it's not easy to get more."

Guan Xuqing nodded and said, "Well, little by little, let's select a few good conditions from the team members to be promoted, and then slowly expand in the future, and I will find a natural training base for you."

Wang Feng's eyes widened and asked, "Where?" ”

"In the woods of Burma," Guan Xuqing replied

Wang Feng suddenly laughed excitedly, "Hahaha, great, the emperor is just right for wilderness survival training, you can't find such a good training place in Germany, but there are too many poisonous insects there, and the minister is not very familiar with this thing, I'm afraid ......"

Guan Xuqing thought that Wang Feng was puzzled and asked himself why he said that it was a natural training base, but he didn't expect to be broken by him, it seems that this kid has really learned some real talents in Germany, and returned: "You can rest assured of this, I asked Feng Zicai to find a few local Burmese people to be your guides, and assign you a imperial doctor to accompany the army."

Wang Feng couldn't say a word excitedly, knelt down in front of Guan Xuqing with a "plop", and slammed his head on the ground: "Thank you to the emperor, the minister must train a special forces of the Qing Dynasty, and it will not be much worse than the German one."

"It must be stronger than the German one," Guan Xuqing said firmly

Wang Feng raised his head in horror, and when he saw the majestic and cold eyes, he felt as if there was an invisible sense of oppression, and he was out of breath, and hurriedly replied: "Chirp must be stronger than the German one."

After spending more than one hour on the train, Guan Xuqing finally returned to the Forbidden City, which had been absent for more than two months, and before entering the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, Wang Shang followed in and said: "Your Majesty, the German minister has handed over the sign again."

Guan Xuqing smiled and said, "Hehe, let him go to the Qianqing Palace and wait for me to come over to see him in a while."

"Chirp"

Guan Xuqing stretched his waist on the kang head, closed his eyes, on the one hand, he was indeed tired, and on the other hand, it was also an extremely beneficial thing for the Qing Dynasty to make the Germans anxious

Don't think that the Qing Dynasty is still the lamb that was slaughtered 20 years ago, and now the emperor of the Qing Dynasty is the same identity as the emperor of Germany, not to mention, I am still the largest customer of Germany, don't look at the development of German industry, a prosperous scene, but once you lose the customer of the Qing Dynasty, you will immediately set your industry back 5 years

Therefore, through Russia's exclusion of the Qing Dynasty this time, Guan Xuqing was not dissatisfied with Russia, but showed the Germans their faces, which made the Germans unable to touch the north, and they were eager to understand the inner thoughts of the Chinese emperor

And Guan Xuqing knows best in his heart that of course the Russians will not agree to sign any more military alliances with him, but the unfirm position shown by Germany is the biggest reason for Guan Xuqing's annoyance

The relationship between Germany and France, like the relationship between the Qing Dynasty and Britain, had become a situation of fire and water, and it was impossible to reconcile, so Germany was eager to enter into a military alliance with Russia, which bordered the east, so that it could devote more energy to the western front against France

Because Britain and France wore a pair of trousers, and because Russia bordered China, Germany would think of drawing China into this military alliance, after all, the military strength displayed by China in the previous wars with Britain and France should not be underestimated, and the most important thing is that China, Britain and France are also on the same footing, but the Triple Alliance, which was thought to be possible, collapsed because of Russia's fierce opposition, and Russia and China were dissatisfied with themselves

Wilhelm II did not want to offend either Russia nor China, so he swayed left and right in Berlin and did not take a firm position

In this way, Guan Xuqing left Germany ahead of schedule, and after Wilhelm II knew about it, he immediately asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to inform the minister in China, meet Guan Xuqing to understand the situation of the trip to Germany, and tactfully ask for his opinion on the Triple Alliance

How can any of this escape the eyes of a man from the twenty-first century? It's just that Guan Xuqing still wants to put the Germans aside and let them live a few days of fear, so that they can think about what it means to them to lose such a friend as Daqing

If Germany really wants to choose between China and Russia, Guan Xuqing is willing to bet that Germany will definitely choose the Qing Dynasty from ancient times to the present, and its foreign policy has been to make friends from afar and attack closely

Germany shares a border with Russia, and no amount of alliance agreement will end up being a waste of paper, because you can't just sign an alliance agreement without putting defenses on the border between the two countries?

Thinking about it, Guan Xuqing had already fallen asleep......
