558 First International Assembly (II)

Compared with the situation in France, the development of the German Revolution in the German states was actually better. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThere may be a number of factors in this, including the fact that Germany itself is in a state of division and the social environment is worse than that of a united France; There are also reasons for the ability and charisma of the leader of the German Revolution, Mannes himself; Naturally, it is inseparable from the relationship between Datang and Datang in Germany, which has also smashed a lot of real money. In short, the 10 years of operation of the German Revolution in Germany and even in Austria have resulted in nearly 400,000 official party members and a large number of supporters in the whole region.

This also determined that the German National Revolution would definitely be more radical and bold than the French National Revolution in terms of its methods of action.

This is also what Datang needs. Even if Datang has now become the world's largest power, even if European countries are unwilling to admit it, no one dares to ignore Datang's national strength and influence. However, Europe is still the core area of this plane that affects the direction of historical development, and Datang does not have a reliable fulcrum in Europe. The relationship between Datang and Britain and Spain is not good, both have been at war, although France is slightly closer, but it is more of a fit of interests, after the outbreak of the Revolution, Datang is also very troubled in diplomacy with France. Datang needs a strong European ally to help it implement an international order dominated by Datang. The object chosen by Datang is Germany, which is still in disintegration.

Aside from Austria, the heir to the mantle and name of the Holy Roman Empire, the most powerful country in the Protestant region of Germany was Prussia, the source of the new empire. Other states, such as Mecklenburg, Saxony, Bavaria and other small states, have relatively limited strength.

Although facing two powerful enemies. Prussia and Austria. But the Tang Dynasty was also building a unified Germany. A heavy bet was placed - the entire German Corps, which was 10,000 people, was disbanded from the ad hoc corps and sent to German soil in pieces, where it was to be used as the main force of the German revolution.

Such an operation was actually more expensive than the expedition to Europe from the Far East, after all, in addition to the corps of 10,000 men, there were all kinds of weapons, equipment and materials they needed, because it was difficult for the German Revolution alone to raise war materials of this scale locally. Add to this the fact that the arrival in Germany in batches from different directions and by different means is also not to be underestimated.

But for Datang. It's all worth it. An internationalist, pro-Tang Germany, with a population of more than 10 million, good conditions for industrial development, and the geographical location of Europe, can use the existence of a German to completely drag Europe into the abyss, or it can use this fulcrum of internationalism to revolutionize the whole of Europe. Although the difficulty of the latter is definitely not low, it is still more promising.

At this First International Congress, Marnes did not come to Datang. Because the work in Germany is inextricably linked, he needs to preside over it. Moreover, Marnes has gradually become an idol in the hearts of thousands of German youth, and many of his discourses and speeches are sought after. Coming to Los Angeles was a member of the German Revolutionary **********.

Originally, Feng Tansen, the brigade commander of the German Corps, had been promoted to serve in the General Headquarters of the Special Corps of the Datang Ministry of Defense at this time, and he was also one of the few non-Asian faces in the Datang Ministry of Defense. Feng Tansen's Chinese is not particularly good, but he can communicate fluently, and he reported to Bai Nan: "...... Sixteen batches of war materials destined for Hamburg have been transported. It can meet the war consumption of about 20,000 people in three months, and if it goes well, the revolutionary army can seize the military supplies of the various states and arm the revolutionary masses to fight, which can also reduce our logistical pressure to a certain extent. ā€

Bai Nan nodded, most of the supplies were shipped directly from the east coast of the Tang Dynasty to Europe, and the officials in Hamburg and other ports were either absorbed by the German National Revolution or bought, which also made the German National Revolution actually have multiple arsenals without anyone noticing. Of course, this is still a bit risky, after all, the soldiers are not in place yet, if anyone raids this warehouse, they can raise tens of thousands of rifles and hundreds of artillery, not to mention ammunition and other supplies, and these weapons are all models used by the ad hoc corps, which are better than the weapons exported by Datang.

Fortunately, places such as Hamburg and Bremen have a certain independent status, and they are an excellent cover for the National Revolution, which is afraid to engage in such a kitten on Prussian soil.

Liu Tian said to Bai Nan again: "Although we have been formulating this plan to promote the German National Revolution to complete the reunification of Germany, is it really better to promote this matter now?" Maybe we can wait a few more years, wait for the war against France to start, maybe the chances are greater. In addition, in recent years, our foreign aid expenditure has been a bit too large, there is a lot of discussion in China, and the financial situation is also quite tight, this year we have fought two wars in a row, Vietnam is finished and Japan is finished, and now we have to push the German revolution in the second half of the year, and our mobile funds have been almost used. ā€

Bai Nan admitted: "On the issue of money, it is indeed more troublesome. Fortunately, except for the regular soldiers of the German Corps, we need to pay salaries, and the revolutionary masses in Germany are fighting for their ideals, and their demands for money will be very, very low. Moreover, Marnes had begun to follow the example of a revolutionary mentor a few years earlier, and began to pull sponsorship everywhere, and now the funds of the German National Revolution were actually quite large. When the war started, if the revolutionary army could seize a few noble territories and obtain some loot and wealth, it should go more smoothly. Our side will not give too much money to the German Revolution, after all, we are also in a tense situation. This year, the local population will exceed 15 million, and our investment in infrastructure construction, education and health and other welfare is also very huge, and the reform of the Tang Army itself is also a lot of money, so Marnes has to think of more ways to do it himself, and he himself sees it this way. ā€

Liu Tiandao: "It's just that the situation of the German National Revolution is still quite worrying. They are able to raise their own funds and launch an uprising and revolution on their own, but as they swell, they will definitely become more and more detached from the system of our First International, after all, the interests of Don and Germany will not be completely unified, and at that time we may have the doom of nothing.
