The German princess did not live in the harem of the Forbidden City, but in a house specially built for her in the Summer Palace, which had a full set of German furniture, and the German servants certainly did not have German eunuchs

That night, Guan Xuqing came to this room that he had never been to but had already been renovated, probably because the political marriage came too suddenly and there were too many surprises for him, so he didn't have time to take a closer look at his German wife and came to the study to continue studying the plan

The poor German princess was alone in the empty room on the first night of marrying the Qing Dynasty, although Guan Xuqing felt that it was unfair to the German princess to do so, but at this time he really didn't have any interest

The long night was squandered under Guan Xuqing's night battle......

Early the next morning, Guan Xuqing came to the Summer Palace to secretly meet with Wilhelm II after the morning court

"Your Majesty, were you too tired last night, why did you look listless?" William said with a chuckle

Guan Xuqing smiled awkwardly, noncommittal

"Your Majesty, please see," William mysteriously unfolded a map of the world again, and continued: "At this time, my Minister of Defense gave me a map to mark, red for France, blue for Russia, black for Germany, and yellow for your Qing Dynasty."

Guan Xuqing looked at this map filled with four colors for a long time and didn't find any clue, shook his head and said, "I don't understand what you mean."

"Your Majesty, we said yesterday that we would form a Sino-German combined fleet in the Far East, and our Germany will send six battleships and ten ironclad ships, and your Great Qing Kingdom also needs to send at least four battleships, four ironclad ships, and six cruisers, so that our naval strength in the Far East will surpass that of the British, and we can contain the British army," William said mysteriously

I have to admit that the strength of such a combined fleet is terrifying, and I am afraid that it can easily defeat any navy except Britain, but what good is it for Germany to contain the British ** team in the Far East?

"William, I don't know what your true intentions are? It seems that the British navy in the Far East does not have much benefit to Germany, is this just to help me in the Qing Dynasty? Guan Xuqing doesn't believe that pie will fall from the sky

"Of course not, before Your Majesty came to the Great Qing Dynasty, I had been hesitant to choose the Great Qing Dynasty or Russia as my staunch ally of Germany, but now I don't need to think too much about it, because I have chosen you, you look at the map, as long as we contain the British navy in the Far East, and then we can make a big move in Europe," William pointed to the map with his hand

"The four colors marked with color indicate the four countries I just mentioned, among which Germany is the strongest, and the Qing Dynasty is the weakest, Germany will face the problem of fighting on two fronts, but the same is true for Russia, but if the weakest Qing Dynasty firmly holds the weakest Russia in check, then Germany doesn't have enough free time to take advantage of? But ......"

Before William's words were finished, Guan Xuqing said directly: "There is a premise, that is, Germany must defeat France quickly."

"Hahaha, it's really easy to talk to Your Majesty, often you just need to point to it, Your Majesty is very smart, no wonder your country can thrive under your leadership, but please rest assured, Your Majesty, Germany has enough strength to defeat France quickly, so it is necessary to threaten and contain Britain all the time, so that Britain cannot reinforce France, even if by the time Britain comes to his senses, the war is over," William said slyly and confidently

The German official on the side accosted: "Yes, Your Majesty, in front of the French, Germany has every reason to be confident"

Guan Xuqing didn't expect that due to the continuous occurrence of the butterfly effect, the plan of the First World War was actually in the Summer Palace, which was incredible, but it made his blood boil

"I'll give you time," Guan Xuqing replied forcefully

"Okay" Wilhelm II nodded to Guan Xuqing, turned to look at Stephen and introduced: "He began to study how to deal with France as early as 1891 when he was the chief of the general staff, and we had a ...... in 1891" Stephen's face was a little unnatural, interrupting William: "Your Majesty"

"It doesn't matter, I believe our friends, you must know that in the Far East, the French also threaten the southern frontiers of His Majesty the Emperor" Although William said this, he still continued to introduce with some restraint: "Sixty divisions, sixty German divisions can completely defeat France Hmph-" William seemed to think of something, and said in a cold tone arrogantly: "Since my reign, my staff, those rulers of Europe, have taken my words as wind in their ears, and it won't take long to ......" looked at Stephen and nodded: "I already have a strong army, I want to prove to the world that Germany is the best in the world"

Guan Xuqing finally understood, it turned out that Germany's strength was far stronger than what everyone saw on the surface, and the German troops in Thailand may be at best a domestic honor guard, and the real combat troops have not met the world at all

At this time, Guan Xuqing really understood the horror and forbearance of the Germans, if it was after the rapid settlement of France, then Russia would become the beef between the two slices of bread between the Qing Dynasty and Germany

Guan Xu calmed down and said: "I believe that the German ** team has this ability, but once the war starts, all plans must be modified accordingly to face the current situation, in front of the god of war, no one can be 100% never say die to tell the truth, the geographical location of your country is really unfortunate, which is destined to make your country's war will be very difficult, unless ...... Unless the British Empire does not exist, or that channel does not exist"

Perhaps Guan Xuqing spoke of the sore spot of the Germans, and Wilhelm and his ministers silently agreed

So Guan Xuqing pulled the topic to the bait he had laid, hoping to get more industrial help from Germany, "Our industrial minister of the Qing Dynasty complained to me, saying that the industrial base of the Qing Dynasty is really too poor, and it is almost a century behind Germany, does Your Majesty have any good suggestions in this regard?" ”

"Industrial?" William looked at Guan Xuqing with some surprise, a mocking look appeared on his face, and he smiled apologetically and said: "It's not about your question but I suddenly remembered a topic, tempting to say that the hoe used by the farmer is also called industry, I despise this view, those can only be called the appendages of industry, Your Majesty, please understand, industry is always stimulated by war, without the needs of war, there will be no industrial development, if you think that your country's industrial degree is too low, It was the war stimulus to which they were not enough to satisfy the poor needs of the peasants, and could never satisfy the enormous appetites of industry."

Guan Xuqing was impressed by William, this is not a person with great ambition and talent, it seems that this German emperor is more shrewd than Guan Xuqing imagined Guan Xuqing nodded and said: "What Your Majesty said is, but no matter what, my country is actually still restricted, in order to solve the problems faced by industry, one is to learn more like Germany, and the other is to hope that our friendship can solve the land resource problem for our two countries."

"The Spaniards are no longer worthy of having overseas territories," Wilhelm II obviously understood the meaning of Guan Xuqing's last sentence very clearly, "I have also been thinking about this problem all these years, but to solve this problem, Germany will offend many countries before, I think France and Britain will be Germany's biggest enemies, because they occupy the most overseas territories, after listening to Your Majesty's advice, I think it will be a good choice to start with the weakest country haha, Germany has also learned a lot from you, such as the uneducated Russians, the increasingly backward Spain, Belgium, Poland, etc."

My God, Guan Xuqing scolded secretly, when will I let you fight those small countries first?? What's more, is Russia a small country? We still have to catch up with the Qing Dynasty, and God knows if the results of the First World War can be overturned
