China, in the First World War, will inevitably be in a position to make money, and even in a sense, if the First World War lasts longer and is more intense, it is a good thing for China. As far as Yang Yuanzhao knows, World War I and World War II have a rather unique lease, not to mention World War I, the defeat of a great power, Russia, the rise of a new form of political country, the Soviet Union, dragged down Britain and France, Germany as a defeated country Needless to say, the United States took the opportunity to rise, which is equivalent to saying that the political situation of the whole world has changed, let alone World War II, which changed the whole world on a larger scale.

In World War I, Germany was the weakest, not only independently against two fronts, but also a teammate who was a cheating father, who did little to help, and pulled his back legs.

Even if Germany is a laggard and has a strong industrial capacity, it is still a huge weakness under the congenital deficiency, and if Germany is fully prepared, like Britain, and has overseas support, Germany will be better.

Supporting Germany is not for the sake of betraying the country, Germany is also one of the great powers with special privileges in China, but the innate relationship between the northwest and Germany is only to allow China to have better international relations and background, which seems acceptable.

At this time, the Far East has become the focus of the world's attention, I thought that the northwest was vulnerable, and the Russian president drove straight into the battle, but was beaten into a flower by the northwest, Britain, France and Japan, have proposed to Russia to send military observers to observe the war, this one was rejected by Russia without hesitation, not to mention the contradiction with Japan, Britain and France are not good people, when is the big Russia. Like weak countries, they need to be militarily watched.

Since they could not get Russia's consent, Britain and France began to turn to pressure China, but unfortunately, they did not have formal diplomatic relations with the northwest. Whether it is Beiyang or the revolutionary party, there is no channel for some of the demands put forward

Even the British and French ministers met with some middle-level people in the northwest by a certain method, and they all pretended to talk about him. It is not a close relationship in itself, there are few places in the northwest that are threatened by foreign countries, and the Chinese, the kung fu of playing tai chi, is always strong. Of course, it was a clean push.

For this war, to be honest, Germany is also quite curious, the great powers all believe that the northwest is an emerging power under German control, and it is the product of some kind of conspiracy that Germany is preparing against China, but Germany knows very well that the northwest should be related to Harpy. After cooperating with Harpy, Harpy's family background includes all the experiences. It can be said that in addition to some layouts in the Far East and the United States, which Germany does not know, even the belonging of Germany and the United States itself, Germany already knows.

Harpy is just on the surface. Who is behind him, Germany is also a little confused. Northwest, but did the Northwest have such a great capacity back then? Even now, it is unlikely that the Northwest will have a strong power in the eyes of Germany, so that behind the Northwest, there is an unknown force at work.

Germany is an emerging country, although it has colonies in the world, but not many, because of the British clamp, in a certain way, Germany's development has entered a certain stage of stagnation, want to try to break this balance, from the beginning of the 20th century, the Anglo-German contradiction, has become the mainstream of the Western world, Britain and Germany set off the arms race and ship-building movement, has gradually reached the *, everyone knows, such confrontation and military increase can not continue, the two sides will inevitably have a war, I don't know when it broke out, but it won't be too long, during the Russo-Japanese War, Germany actively observed, and now, the Far East has broken out again, although it is between the northwest and Russia, Germany is different from other countries, and looks down on the northwest of the Northwest, with the help of Harpy, he understands some of the situation in the northwest, and it is natural that he wants to pay attention to this qiē.

German Minister Murmo and military attaché, at this time has quietly left Beijing, from Baotou began to rise, the German minister to Baotou, very curious, what is here in Baotou, will have such a strong combat effectiveness, Napoleon once said, China is a sleeping lion, once wake up, will shock the whole world, but that is too long ago said, the decay of the Qing Dynasty, several foreign war failures, let everyone look down on China, now China has once again changed the world.

The same road, from Shijiazhuang to Taiyuan, and then to Baotou, Shijiazhuang Road Taiyuan, is quite general, this is the original railway line after all, although after Shanxi is incorporated into the northwest, these railways are improved, but because the time is too short to take effect, at most, just the original Zhengtai Road and the newly built Baotai Railway connected, Zhengtai subcontracted too, only used to do a simple change, do not need to leave the railway station.

After the change of trains, the speed of the train has increased significantly, Minister Mu Mo is a person who understands, he understands very well, in order to bear such a fast speed, a certain distance dù, there is no heavy track is simply impossible, even the head of this train, is not an ordinary locomotive, otherwise the train will never be able to run so fast, the whole world locomotive transactions, are all inquiry, China imported, only a handful, and such a speed, up to a speed of more than 80 kilometers, neat locomotive, even in Germany, are very rare, China has it, He is very sure that no one in the whole world will support China, so there is only one reason, the northwest has a very strong force behind it, and even produces it itself.

Mu Mo's idea came out, and he was also waited for by his crazy idea, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that there was only such an explanation, otherwise, it would be impossible to say why Baotou would have such a powerful train head.

Baotou is finally in front, Mu Mo suddenly has a feeling, as in Germany, neat cement road, both sides are sitting on a complete plan, on the road, there are a large number of cars, cars are also recently developed, very useful tools for the military, I didn't expect that Baotou has been used so much, this is also produced, then the power of the whole Baotou, in the heart of the minister, from the original point, and sharply up a level.

"The German minister is here!" Yang Yuanzhao was stunned for a moment, this is the first minister to come to the northwest, Yang Yuanzhao understands very well, the meaning of the German minister, obviously, Germany expects to change, Germany's industrial level and GDP have surpassed Britain, and has successfully become the largest country in Europe, such an identity is not in line with the current status of Germany, Germany is firmly suppressed by the British, navy, control zhì range, sphere of influence, this is a short board, if the world does not change, Germany is on a certain level, Almost never turn over.

But now, China has appeared, not only in terms of export products and the Chinese market, it has dealt a heavy blow to Britain, but also started a war with Russia, which is also a potential opponent of Germany, Russia and France show two sides, sandwiching Germany, can weaken Russia, of course, it is the best choice for Germany, which is also the fundamental reason why Mummer came.

Yang Yuanzhao was also willing to meet with Mu Mo, from a certain point of view, to support Germany, to make the First World War fight longer, to weaken the world powers, so that China can get enough time for development, and to obtain huge benefits, is his established purpose, from the beginning of entering the northwest, he planned the big war in 1914.

Yang Yuanzhao still saw Mu Mo, seeing that Yang Yuanzhao was so young, Mu Mo was slightly taken aback, and said rationally: "Congratulations, young sir, you defeated Russia and put Russia in a dilemma." ”

"My victory over Russia is a military victory, but also a victory of ideas, and as long as Russia cannot break through this idea, he will never be able to move forward." Yang Yuanzhao's face was normal, as if he was talking about trivial matters.

Bordo, the military attache stationed in China, looked at Yang Yuanzhao with some surprise, he didn't know where Yang Yuanzhao's self-confidence came from, Yang Yuanzhao smiled slightly, and didn't explain too much, some things, seeing is believing, there is no need to say too much at this time, and continued: "I understand the current situation of Germany very well, and I am willing to become a friend of Germany, I don't know if Germany is willing to make this friend with me." ”

"We in Germany are willing to make friends with a Qiē, willing to make friends, hasn't the Northwest always been a friend of Germany?"

Yang Yuanzhao smiled slightly, he heard a certain sense of alienation in Mu Mo's words, too, Germany is a powerful country in the whole of Europe, Baotou, at best, is only a local power in China, in the absence of enough strength as a backing, such a statement, in a sense, is just a joke, he didn't say much, just said: "Your Excellency Bordo should be a professional soldier, I believe, let Germany send an expert group composed of professional soldiers to observe the front line of the trading city, We're sure to get the results we both want! ”

Mu Mo was overjoyed in his heart, this was also the purpose of his coming to Baotou, and turned to Bordo and said, "Are you willing?" ”

"Your Excellency, I do!" Of course the military attache is willing, he came with the minister, there is an officer corps, a total of 7 people, the purpose of their coming to Baotou, on the one hand, is to find out what is going on in Baotou, on the other hand, but also to take a closer look at Baotou, to see the strength of the Russian * team, know themselves and know the enemy, in order to be able to win a hundred battles.

"Your Excellency the Minister, I believe that there are many places in Baotou that can be visited by the Minister."

"No, I'll go back to Beijing for the time being, I'm out of Beijing secretly, I've been away for a long time, that's not good, I'll expect a good result."

The military attache and the minister, on the Baotou side, separated, one side took the train back to Beijing, and the other side, went to the front line of the trading city, followed by him, there were 12 Baotou officer corps, and 7 German * officers, they will be with the staff of Baotou, plus more than 250 escort soldiers, take the train, to the trading city.
