Chapter 120: Wilhelm II

readx;?? In 1883, the world political landscape changed dramatically, and the Huamei Kingdom entered the world political stage, of course, still standing in the camp of the great East Asian empires. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Please search! But the news couldn't have been better for the United States and Great Britain, as the formation of the Huamei Kingdom was partly a sign of China's withdrawal from its influence in North America.

1884 is coming, the whole world will usher in the new year, of course, for European countries they are very uncomfortable with the Chinese New Year holiday actually in February.

Of course, for Lin Hong, the biggest event of this year was the development of the empire's aviation industry, and one day in December 1883, the General Motors Company, a subsidiary of the Royal Consortium, had successfully tested the world's first aircraft, the "Wanhu". With the current flight performance of the "Wanhu," the aircraft units of the Air Force of the coming country are still far away, but it is gratifying to say that mankind has also gone to the sky for the first time in history.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Of course, the above content is a word count, and the biggest event in 1884 was the graduation ceremony of Friedrich Wilhelm Victor Albert von Hohenzollern, a member of the German imperial family, at Zhongdu University (i.e., Xijing University, Zhongdu is another name for Xijing).

And this Friedrich Wilhelm Victor Albert von Hohenzollern is the most famous Kaiser Wilhelm II in history. Wilhelm II was born in Berlin on 27 January 1859, the eldest grandson of Wilhelm I of the German Empire, the eldest son of Crown Prince Frederick III and Empress Victoria. Due to the breech birth that occurred at birth, Wilhelm II suffered from Elb's palsy, to the point that his left arm atrophied. Now Wilhelm II's left arm has almost recovered under the treatment and recuperation of traditional Chinese medicine, of course, as long as he does not do strenuous exercises such as push-ups or something, his left arm is the same as a normal person.

Unlike history, Wilhelm II came to China to study after the age of 18, which is the biggest difference, he was strictly disciplined by his mother, Princess Victoria Adelaide Mary Louis, his mother, an English princess, felt guilty about her son's physical defects, and constantly asked Wilhelm II to strengthen his exercise and receive various treatments (including electrotherapy, that is, sitting in an electric chair), which made his relationship with his mother very poor.

Lin Honglian II was also a poor person, so he privately instructed the cabinet to invite Wilhelm II to China for treatment and study (Wilhelm II's TCM treatment began when he was 13 years old, but the German royal family was looking for a TCM visiting group in Europe at that time, and the treatment was not continuous). Of course, the German royal family was very happy about this, and Wilhelm II's mother wanted to send Wilhelm II out so that her second son could succeed to the throne, and she could not ask for such an opportunity.

In 1884, Wilhelm II was 25 years old, in Zhongdu University, Wilhelm II studied law and national politics, until he was 18 years old, his mother, the English princess, had been instilling in him the concept of British supremacy, of course, everyone knew what a rebellious teenager was like, and when he began to live alone in the East, he knew what a strong country was, and his mother's empty words compared to the scene on the land of China is the best evidence, Young people always have great ideals and beliefs.

......

"Feng William, this is your graduation certificate and degree certificate, please keep it!" Wilhelm II was reminiscing about his past six years or so, and this soft voice pulled him back.

"Thank you, Headmaster!" In front of him was Rong Hong, the president of Zhongdu University (the first student in China in history), and it was this old man who gave him the belief in life during the six years he lived in China.

Kaiser Wilhelm II, who had just arrived in China, was as alien and fearful of China as anyone who left his homeland, even though he had servants and guards arranged by the German imperial family. It was this Chinese elder who was less than sixty but had been extremely vicissitudes of life who talked to him again and again and opened his heart. Here your classmates don't care what kind of identity you are, here you are just a student.

In China, Wilhelm II had a different life experience.

......

"William! After graduation, what are you going to do? Oh! By the way, you don't have to worry about work. "The one who is talking is William's roommate, the famous Yuan Shikai in Chinese history (Yuan Shikai was also born in 1859, the two are the same age, Yuan Shikai should have graduated two years ago, but his fiancée did not leave school after graduation but went to graduate school).

"Xiang Cheng, I'm going back to China in a few days. But tomorrow I will go to the palace to meet His Majesty the Emperor of China, how envy it! "Having lived in China for six years, Wilhelm II has become accustomed to the Chinese way of being called, that is, the character used to address each other.

"Cut! It's not like I haven't seen anything remarkable. By the way, after today, am I going to address your honorable German prince?! Yuan Shikai laughed with a grin.

"Hello, Your Royal Highness!" Xu Shichang, who was next to him, interjected with a smile, Xu Shichang was originally the emperor's attendant military attaché, and he will be sent to a local post after returning to the furnace to rebuild this time, in fact, studying in college is also his own choice, and the qualifications of being a military attache by the emperor's side are enough, but he feels that his knowledge is not enough.

“? It's better to do this, otherwise your words will cause a diplomatic dispute between Germany and China. William said with a serious face.

"I'll go to your diplomatic strife!" Yuan Shikai laughed and smashed William's punch.

"Hey! Don't do it! Beware of diplomatic strife! William said with a smile.

"Haha! Brothers, let's go! While he hasn't left school yet, go on! Yuan Shikai yelled and motioned for the other four people in the dormitory to go up together.

For a while, there were all kinds of ghost crying wolf howls from the boys' dormitory of Zhongdu University.

......

"I'm still used to living in the past few years!" Of course, Lin Hong knew the reason why William II in front of him was stunned, and anyone who saw a person in his seventies who was as young as his twenties would be surprised.

"Huh! It was very good, and the people and things around me gave me a lot of feelings. Wilhelm II replied honestly, if Wilhelm II was an admirer of Bismarck, then Lin Hong was Wilhelm II's idol. It took decades to lead the Chinese to become a great empire in the East that could compete with the British.

"You are the one who will become the Emperor of the German Empire in the future, young man! By the way, I have a gift for you, and I'll receive it when you're gone. It's an encouragement for you. Let's struggle! Sao year. Lin Hong said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Emperor, for your concern." William honestly returned, although he had studied Chinese Chinese characters for six years, he still did not quite understand what "Sao Nian" meant.

......

On 14 February, when Wilhelm II arrived at the port of Dagu, he saw a gift from the Emperor of China. Of course, the officials who were with Wilhelm II were the same as the embassy staff. Yes, a warship, the "Djinn" in the Royal Navy Task Force. The Royal Navy Task Force is a fleet that Lin Hong raised with his own money, anyway, they are all strange ships to send away a cabinet and the military department can't manage, the "Giant Spirit God" was launched in 1873 and is considered an old-fashioned battleship, but it can be used for a few years, the reason why it is called the Giant Spirit God is because of the huge size of this battleship, the standard displacement reaches 13100 tons, the full load displacement is 14705 tons, it is the largest battleship in the current empire, of course, this thing can join the task force fleet also has its wonders. With a cannon like a tiger and a speed like a turtle, the naval officer is a super-amplified version of the shore defense gunboat and the ultimate firepower platform, and it is nothing but powerful firepower. The maximum speed was only 12 knots (using an old-fashioned horizontal boiler), but the main gun was a six-seat single-caliber naval gun (at that time, this caliber naval gun was purchased from the British Armstrong Company for testing, and when it was given to Wilhelm II, the main gun had been replaced with a 40-diameter main gun that could be used in actual combat), and the front and rear were distributed in a triangular pattern.

Wilhelm II didn't know what to say anymore, he liked warships, but he didn't expect the Chinese emperor to give him a battleship, or a battleship of more than 10,000 tons, which is equivalent to giving him almost 900,000 pounds! The officials sent by Germany to pick up Wilhelm II no longer knew what to say, and asked Wilhelm vigorously if he had agreed to any bad conditions for China.

Wilhelm II is not a fool, he knows what the Chinese emperor meant by sending him this warship, he has been away from Germany for almost six years, after returning to China he has no foundation in Germany, China clearly told the Germans that Wilhelm II is covered by the Chinese, so that he will have a greater chance of becoming the emperor of the German Empire in the future.

On the afternoon of 14 February, Wilhelm II boarded an ocean cruise bound for Hamburg, followed by the battleship that had been renamed "Wilhelm the Great", as if to announce the arrival of Wilhelm the Great to Germany and Europe!
