825 Opportunity

Uncertainty and entering a state of war are two different things, and although there have long been contradictions between the British and the French, there is a tacit understanding between the two countries between the two imperialists, and a catalyst is needed to break this restraint between them.

The naval conference in Coconut City in March not only determined the size of the navy that countries could "legally" own, but also reached a series of agreements that were generally successful, but there were also some plans that did not go through, including aid to Germany.

The aid plan for Germany was proposed by the British, and the Americans mediated in an effort to obtain the consent of France and Lanfang, but Lanfang did not care, and the French were firmly opposed to this plan, because Lanfang and France were still maintaining an alliance at that time, so this plan was not adopted.

After the breakdown of the alliance between France and Lanfang, the aid plan to Germany finally lost its greatest resistance, and in mid-December, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Lanfang reached a preliminary intention to jointly provide assistance to Germany.

The original intention of the British was to curb the rise of the French, and American capital was the way to invest, and the reason why Lan Fang agreed to aid Germany was that Qin Zhiyuan and William III's personal relationship was on the one hand, and Lan Fang's domestic German descendants promoted this matter was also an important reason.

After the end of the World War, Lanfang carried out the overall relocation of Germany "plunder", the factories, technicians, drawings, etc. in Germany were almost the same pot by the Lanfang people, those machines are good to say, many German technicians arrived in Lanfang, inspired by Lanfang's very inclusive cultural atmosphere, and under the temptation of Lanfang's blue sky and blue sea, they gladly joined Lanfang's nationality and became a part of Lanfang.

These people are all high-tech talents, most of their identities are professional soldiers, senior engineers, university professors, research institute researchers, etc., at least skilled workers, these people have a relatively high social status in Lanfang, so their influence should not be underestimated.

Today, there are many Germans in Lanfang's country who are in high positions and have a certain influence on the Lanfang government, including soldiers like Rommel, research institute directors like Brown, and senior officials of the Ministry of Education like Alice.

Brown and Alice were originally the elder brothers and sisters of the Long brothers, and after being treated unfairly in Germany, Brown and Alice came to Lanfang, and it didn't take long for them to directly join Lanfang's nationality.

Brown is a pure researcher with a high degree of attainment in applied physics and is now the deputy director of the Coconut City Institute of Applied Physics, while Alice is focused on education and is now the director of the women's education department of the Lanfang Ministry of Education.

For Blund and Alice, Germany is their homeland and they are naturally inclined, so during the naval meeting, Alice ran around various departments in Lanfang, trying to lobby senior government officials to agree to aid Germany.

These lobbies finally took effect after the breakdown of the alliance between France and Lanfang.

The aid plan proposed by Britain to Germany covers a wide range of areas, from food aid to economic aid, of which Lan Fang is responsible for most of the food aid, which is not a problem for Lan Fang, even if there is no aid plan, Lan Fang is also providing various living materials to Germany. On the economic side, the Americans provide interest-free or low-interest loans to Germany, although these loans are nominally interest-free or low-interest, but they are all conditional, and it is not easy to get them, and Americans are not philanthropists. The British use their unique shipping capabilities to provide security, and in this regard, although Lan Fang also has good capabilities, it is still dwarfed by the British.

At the end of December, the day after Christmas, the first batch of supplies prepared by Lan Fang was loaded on a ship in Coconut City and sent to Germany by a British cargo ship.

Seeing the six fully loaded 10,000-ton freighters sailing out of the port of Coconut City, William III hugged Qin Zhiyuan tightly, and tears appeared in the corners of his eyes: "Thank you, thank you very much—thank you—"

Wilhelm III is indeed excited, this is not the first time Lan Fang has assisted Germany, but it is Lan Fang's first time to aid Germany openly, and it is indeed of great significance.

"You're welcome, it's right for us to help each other, as if I'm paying interest." Qin Zhiyuan was unexpected, and responded to William III's true feelings with a smile.

Indeed, if the things that Lanfang moved from Germany were discounted, the return to the Germans now could really only be regarded as interest. The value of those technologies and machines and personnel is secondary, and the key is that this intention is a debt of human affection.

"That's right, it's right for us to help each other." William III inadvertently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and he tacitly agreed with Qin Zhiyuan.

After contacting the alliance with France, William III immediately found Qin Zhiyuan and wanted to secretly form an alliance with Lan Fang. If according to Wilhelm III's real thoughts, Wilhelm III would like to let the whole world know that the relationship between Germany and Lanfang is far closer than that between France and Lanfang, but at the same time, William III is still sensible, and if it is announced in a high-profile manner during this time period, it will undoubtedly become the target of public criticism.

After the world war, "alliance" became a very sensitive word, and all countries kept it secret, even for "secret alliances", all countries were very cautious. To a certain extent, the "alliance" represents the formation of a military bloc, and the expansion of power will cause some people to have nothing to fear, which will then trigger a chain reaction of other countries, and the development is the situation before the world war, so the world is now very vigilant about the "alliance", which is also the real reason why Britain and the United States are trying their best to break up the alliance between Lanfang and France.

Regarding William III's suggestion, Qin Zhiyuan bluntly rejected it.

It's not that the relationship between Germany and Lanfang is not good enough to form an alliance, but because since there is a lesson from the past, then why repeat the mistakes of the past, the word "friend" can be used between countries, if there is really feelings, even if it is not aligned, it is a brother, if there is no feeling, even if it is written down in black and white, it is a piece of waste paper.

William III accepted Qin Zhiyuan's explanation because William III trusted Qin Zhiyuan.

"I'm going back in a few days, and it's always bad to be away for too long." On the way to the palace, William III was not in a good mood.

As a king, it is impossible for William III to leave his country for a long time, although Prince Marx is capable, he cannot exercise the king's rights at will, William III came to Lanfang this time to visit relatives and friends, and the next time he went to Lanfang, he did not know that it would be the year of the monkey.

To be honest, both William III and Queen Cecilia felt nostalgic for everything about Lanfang, and it was this "nostalgia" that prompted William III to return to Germany and build Germany into a nostalgic country.

"It's time to go back, now that you have this agreement, your life should be better, and the dawn of a resurgence is just around the corner, be optimistic." Qin Zhiyuan was not sad, because the Flight Power Research Institute had a new product: "Wait for a while, maybe come to Lanfang again, you don't have to take a boat." ”

Just last month, Qin Zhiyuan's trust in Long Chengxuan finally paid off, and Long Chengxuan researched a new material that made the new aircraft engine designed by Long Chengyuan a reality. The Air Force has built a prototype with a flight distance of 5,000 kilometers, although it is still not enough to fly directly from Lanfang to Europe, but because of the existence of relay stations such as Corsica and Moon Bay, it only needs to refuel twice on the way, and it can travel between Germany and Lanfang at a much faster speed than taking a ship.

It has been calculated that if you use an airplane throughout the whole process, you can reach Lanfang from Germany in about three days at the earliest, and if you want to take a ship, even if it is the fastest warship now, it will take a month and a half.

"Really? That's great. William III was immediately overjoyed, but then his expression twisted.

Of course, Qin Zhiyuan knew what William III meant, and casually made a promise: "Don't worry, when your aircraft factory is completed, I will send you a few engineers over." ”

Building an aircraft factory is not a difficult task for a country, especially for a country with a deep industrial heritage like Germany. But also for Germany, because of the defeat in the world war, Germany was forbidden to develop the aviation industry, so wanting to build an aircraft factory is tantamount to a dream.

Even if the British wanted Germany to contain France, they did not want Germany to have the ability to attack Britain directly.

There is such a thing as a transport plane, which only needs a slight modification to become a bomber, and Germany is not far from the UK, and if the Germans have high-performance bombers, it will be a nightmare for the British.

"Wait, the British can't always keep an eye on us, there will always be a chance." Wilhelm III understood the situation in Germany and was not much dismayed.

"Don't worry, if possible, I'll try to create opportunities for you." Qin Zhiyuan gave a promise.

"Are you ready?" William III felt incredulous.

"No, no, no, I don't plan to go to war directly with Britain, at least it's not the right time yet, we need an opportunity-" Qin Zhiyuan couldn't tell William III all his plans, that would make William III itch.

However, Qin Zhiyuan can say this, and he has already shown his tendencies, which has already satisfied William III.

"It's exciting, what kind of storm will we set off in the world if your Lanfang and my Germany form an alliance!" William III is looking forward to the future.

"Don't think so far ahead, do your current job first." Qin Zhiyuan is still pragmatic, the more promising the prospect, the more vigilant and patient he should be.

Back at the palace, as soon as Qin Zhiyuan got out of the car, he saw Girardin waiting in front of the Black Swan Castle.

"What's wrong?" Qin Zhiyuan still paid due attention to this big girl who had just gotten a new toy.

"I'm going to kill that damn high!" Girardin speaks astonishingly.
