Chapter 299: German Ambitions
Britain, the world's boss, suddenly became in turmoil, and the people in the country rioted, and the reason was only because some nobles could not buy cigarettes, and the dispute with the people caused by it. This is a war brought about by cigarettes. This made Britain, which was already in an extremely embarrassing position, even more embarrassed.
As the world's boss, Britain, not only did not have any ability to adjust in this Korean War, but also made a series of oolong incidents. At first, I was frightened by the naval and army units of the Chinese Empire before, but this time I stood at the door of people's houses, but I didn't dare to come forward to speak.
The surname Suo started from the side of Yueben, but what no one expected was that Yueben's side was extremely arrogant, and it was okay to stop the war, but it was necessary to let all the more than 800,000 troops who remained in Korea withdraw safely, and the Chinese Empire would compensate Yueben.
After learning of his request, the British were eager to grab a brick and knock it on his head. What era is this, and you are still thinking about that bit of claims? What even the boss British can't do, do you think you can do it with just a little book?
The British had to stop their mediation this time for various reasons, and no one expected that the Chinese National Defense Bureau would approach Pyongyang at a speed like a turtle, and then completely defeat the more than 400,000 troops of the Chinese army in just six days at a speed. This time, they finally couldn't sit still, and they had no doubt that it was the result of a mistake on the part of the commander.
More than 400,000 troops, even if the commander is a pig, can last for ten days and a half months, right? What's more, everyone also knows a little about Yoshimura Nakashi, and this person is not without a little real material. Rao is like this, and the more than 400,000 troops of the Yue army only lasted six days, to be precise, it should be three days. There were still three days on the run, delaying the continuation of the march of a part of the Chinese defense forces.
And now the result is that I want to compromise, as long as I can let the remaining 400,000 troops in Busan return home safely. You must know that in the past, in order to fight to the death with Russia, Ben had already transported all the available forces in the country to Korea, and at this time, all the troops in the country were no more than 200,000 at most, and they were all garrison troops, and in terms of combat effectiveness, they were not as good as those troops that were wiped out in Pyongyang before.
If, at this time, any country sends an army to attack the homeland, although there is some hope that the country can win, what will happen after the victory? The whole book will be in ruins, the long coastline, more than 200,000 troops, even if they break their legs, they can't keep up with the speed of other people's attacks, and just pick a random place to land, it is enough to give Yue himself a headache.
After the defeat in the Battle of Pyongyang, Yue Ben seemed to see their terrible fate in the future, so he desperately traveled between Britain, the United States, France, Germany and other countries, hoping that these countries could discuss with Wang Lin through their own channels, even if they let Yue himself lose some money, after all, compared with domestic stability, these are worth paying.
In a situation where there is no army to maintain the country, I dare not imagine what it will be like, with theft in the country, the smell of riots everywhere, and those with bad intentions. No matter how much they lobbied, the British and French naturally hoped that the war would be stopped as soon as possible, so as not to endanger themselves. The Americans, with a posture of no time to pay attention, were busy on the Mexican battlefield with themselves, pimping with the Mexicans all day, talking for two days today, and fighting for one day tomorrow.
The Germans have always been friendly with the Chinese, and when they went to German soil, the Germans closely monitored them, and when Ambassador Yu asked to see the Kaiser, although the Kaiser agreed to the request to meet, he obviously refused his request for mediation. The Germans at this time, would they like to see a breath of tranquility in the Far East? The more chaotic the better, which just gave the Germans the opportunity to build momentum.
The Germans, who had long been not satisfied with the status quo, had already sharpened their knives and made preparations, and even the German Ministry of Defense had begun to secretly develop plans for future offensives. Do you think the Germans would do such a thing to let a war maniac stop the war, and it was a war to the detriment of themselves and others? The answer is clearly no.
"Your Majesty! The German ambassador asks to see! ”
Yang Zhiping pushed open the door of Wang Lin's office and said in a low voice. At this time, Wang Lin was busy looking at the world map, looking at every inch of this world, and planning a grand blueprint for the future plan.
"Let him in!"
Wang Lin thought about it, but agreed to meet the German ambassador. After all, I have been preparing for such a long time, and although I am still a little reluctant now, it is not impossible to fight. Recruits need to be tempered by war, and no one will become a qualified soldier without going through war, and the Wehrmacht recruit unit has been training for about a year, and according to past practice, although they cannot fight hard and bad battles, some other wars are still possible.
What's more, the troops always need war, and without war, even if they are given another ten years, they may not succeed. Wang Lin had already roughly guessed the meaning of the Germans' request for a meeting, which was nothing more than a certain discussion with Wang Lin on the world pattern. None of this is true, not only are the Germans not very satisfied with the current world situation, but even Wang Lin is also very dissatisfied. We won't talk about it if we didn't have the ability before, but now that we have this ability, we have to come forward and fight for it no matter what, right?
The German ambassador Wipno swore frankly into the Chinese Imperial Palace, followed by the two guards, and walked forward step by step in fear. Although this palace is not large, there are not many soldiers guarding it, at least compared to the dynasties before them, the Qing Dynasty is much less. But these soldiers in this made Vipno feel indescribable.
This is a real soldier, and everyone has an indescribable feeling, a trembling murderous aura. At the foot of the city walls there are artillery positions with all kinds of artillery, heavy artillery, howitzers, and more. The weapons in the hands of their soldiers were weapons that Vipno had never seen before. There are countless fire dragons on the city wall, and there will be a fire dragon every ten meters.
With such a combination of firepower, who can enter here? Vipno looked at this palace with only more than 600 people stationed, if there was enough ammunition, relying on strong defenses and their excellent combat skills, even if there were 10,000 people, they would not want to get a step close to the city wall. What broke Vipno's heart even more was that there were more than 20 tanks in the palace, which he had never seen before, and there were several vehicles with high barrels on them, aimed straight at the sky, Vipno was very curious, what were these weapons for?
Before he knew it, Vipno had entered Wang Lin's office, which was the first time he had entered the palace and the first time he had entered Wang Lin's office. I had seen Wang Lin at the founding ceremony before, but then I was dizzy by this young emperor, and now this is the second time I have seen Wang Lin.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, on behalf of His Majesty the Kaiser of the German Empire and tens of millions of German nationals, I greet you!"
Seeing this young and terrifying Chinese emperor, Vipno was a little speechless for a while, not knowing what to say? Too young, how can a founding emperor of a powerful empire be so young? Two years ago, when Wei Puno saw Wang Lin from afar, although he sighed fiercely for Wang Lin's appearance, he was not so shocked, after all, it was a long distance, and it was not impossible to see the wrong surname. But now that he watched it so closely, Vipno was indeed deeply shocked by Wang Lin's appearance.
Wei Puno really can't imagine, how did Wang Lin do it?
"Hehe, Ambassador Vipno, please say hello to His Majesty the Emperor of your country on my behalf." Wang Lin replied politely. National events are not child's play, and they cannot be explained clearly with a single word, especially this kind of international affairs, which cannot be rushed in a hurry, and of course, they don't care about being a few minutes late.
"Your Majesty, you are so polite. His Majesty the Emperor of our country has been saying that he wants to come to your country to thank you well, but unfortunately there have been many domestic things recently, and the surrounding environment is not very harmonious, so this matter has been delayed. Wipno cautiously explained.
When dealing with other ministers, although Vipno could rely on his own position and talk to them more or less casually about some issues, when facing Wang Lin, the supreme leader of the Chinese Empire, even if Vipno knew that Wang Lin would definitely agree to his request, he had to deal with it carefully. After all, this is a national event, or rather, there is an obvious gap in status between the two, they are not people of the same level at all, and there is an invisible pressure on Wang Lin's body, which overwhelms Vipno.
"Ambassador Wipno, I'm sure you have been in China for so long, you must have a certain understanding of my personality, right? I'm a straight-tempered person, and I don't like to procrastinate. Here, please allow me to apologize to you, if there is anything wrong, please bear with me. Suddenly, Wang Lin changed his previous posture and made an apologetic gesture, making Vipno feel as if he was in a cloud and couldn't find his place.
I have to say that Wang Lin's hand did make Vipno a little panicked. But can a person who can be the ambassador to China be a fool? After sorting out his thoughts a little, he summarized his previous understanding of Wang Lin, and even if he understood what Wang Lin meant. However, Wipno also faintly had a good impression of Wang Lin in his heart. This emperor turned out to be very polite, not as irritable as the outside world said.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, that's right, I think Your Majesty the Emperor is also quite clear about the current pattern of the world. Any better cakes in the world have been eaten by Britain, France and other countries, and what is left for us is either crooked melons and cracked dates, or there is no oil and water. Of course, at present our situation in the German Empire and the Chinese Empire is very similar, and our two empires are also in the same situation. Therefore, our Emperor of the German Empire, I want to see if you are willing to eat the cake of Britain and France together with the German Empire. Wipno said with some trepidation.
He is not afraid of failure, and no German will be afraid of failure, and the facts of history are a good proof of this. But what worries him is that if Wang Lin explicitly rejects him, what should he do? Now Germany is ready, just waiting for a response from the Far East, and if they can, the Germans can immediately start a war.
But if Wang Lin explicitly rejects Germany, then how should Germany do it? Germany needs an ally, Benz? What kind of joke is this, at the moment he is in conflict with the Chinese Empire, a good friend of the Germans, and compared with the two, even a fool would choose the Chinese Empire and abandon the Ich.
Russia? Forget it, Tsarist Russia has a very delicate relationship with Britain, and it is impossible for them to stand with Germany. Austria-Hungary could, but they had some problems with their combat effectiveness, and they were also in Europe, which was not conducive to attacking the British and French colonies in the Far East or elsewhere. United States? Farewell, the Americans are in the same vein as the British, and they are currently trapped in the Mexican battlefield, and have no chance of participating in wars elsewhere.
Wei Puno, who was very worried in his heart, carefully observed the expression on Wang Lin's face, hoping to get the answer he wanted through Wang Lin's expression. Unfortunately, the results were always disappointing, and the young emperor, with the same expression on his face, did not change at all, but turned around and continued to look at the world map behind him. To Vipno's dismay, their map had other colors on it, and these countless colors were mixed together, so that people could see at a glance which one was and could quickly find the place.
Wang Lin turned around and looked carefully at the map in front of him, Wang Lin had often been obsessed with this map before, seriously thinking about the future world pattern, and where should the progress of the war go? Or is it the division of battlefield areas? But it can be said very bluntly that Wang Lin did not want to form an alliance with Germany, because once an alliance was formed, it would not only mean that the Chinese Empire would share half of Germany's war pressure. At the same time, they also have to shoulder half of the responsibility for the war.
If Germany is about to be defeated, then the Chinese Empire, as an ally, must spare no effort to save Germany, once Germany is defeated, then the military power of the whole world will be concentrated in the Chinese Empire, which is the last thing Wang Lin wants to see. It's war, it's not aligned, but at the same time you need to find a strong friend to share some of the pressure. In case of defeat in the future, the Chinese Empire can quickly leave the battlefield and disassociate all relations with it.
Looking at this huge map, Wang Lin was a little speechless in his heart for a while. How can there be so few countries in the big world? Not to mention Africa, they are all countries waiting to be saved, only Germany is okay on the European side, Britain and France are at most second-rate countries, and if Austria-Hungary is a third-rate empire, then Italy is definitely enough to publish a fourth-rate country, or a non-streamed country.
Although Wang Lin of the United States wants to pull him into the water fiercely, but the other party is far away on the other side of the ocean, is there any relatively powerful country there, once the war starts, there seems to be no other way than to continue to aid Mexico and let them continue to consume the strength of the United States. As for those countries in South America, it's okay to play football, to fight? Forget it. It's not that Wang Lin looks down on people, the Wehrmacht troops of two armies are enough to wipe out any South American country, and the troops of five armies are enough to take care of the entire South America.
"Go back and tell the Kaiser that I'm sorry about the alliance, I can't agree. However, I will continue to carry out the agreement a year ago, and in addition to continuing to increase arms sales to Germany, we will also make corresponding adjustments in terms of prices, and do our best to help Germany. At the same time, our country will also attract at least 500,000 Tsarist Russian troops in the Far East to ease your pressure in Europe. There is only so much we can do, of course, if there is any need for German friends in the future, you can unceremoniously mention it to me, within the ability, I will definitely help if I can. ”
Wang Lin's words clearly told Vipno that an alliance was impossible, but the Chinese Empire also needed Germany to start a little war in Europe, and as a corresponding countermeasure, the Chinese Empire would also attract some Tsarist Russian troops in the Far East. Napoleon was like this, although it was not particularly obvious during the First World War, but there were some signs, but in the Second World War, the situation was even more obvious.
If Germany had not attacked the Soviet Union during World War II, then the German side would have won, and then there would have been a suitable opportunity to end the war, so that the Americans would not have a chance to intervene. Even if you want to intervene, the world war is over, and rashly starting the war again will certainly arouse the disgust of the people of the world.
After receiving Wang Lin's response, Vipno showed some loss, but as expected, although it was only lost, it was not to the point of disappointment. At least Wang Lin told him very clearly that the Chinese Empire would not be an enemy of Germany. To tell the truth, the Germans were still sure of fighting Britain and France with the strength of one person, but with all the strength of Britain, France and Germany against the Chinese Empire, the Germans still did not have the slightest certainty of victory!
