710 fait accompli
The taste of power is indeed fascinating, and it always makes those who have tasted it addictive, even those who are already over the age of William II are not exempt from vulgarity. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
According to the results agreed between Qin Zhiyuan and William III, William II was to be sent to Lanfang, Qin Zhiyuan would definitely not be used to William II's problems, Qin Zhiyuan was not William II's father, and he did not educate William II to be a man.
Of course, compared to this unpleasant meeting, Wilhelm II should have some understanding of Qin Zhiyuan's toughness, if Wilhelm II is smart enough, Wilhelm II will be somewhat restrained, so Qin Zhiyuan will not mind giving Wilhelm II the treatment that matches his status.
If Kaiser Wilhelm II is still putting his way around, then I'm sorry, the present of Emperor Taisho is the future of Kaiser Wilhelm II.
It is obvious that Wilhelm II is not stupid, after hearing Qin Zhiyuan's words, Wilhelm II was silent at first, and only after half a sound did he say with a bitter face: "Paul, he is right, I am not the emperor now, call me Friedrich in the future." ”
Friedrich, this is a very common German name, I am afraid this is the first time that Wilhelm II has said this name so hard.
"Your Majesty—" Hindenburg tried to make an upright posture, although it was not standard, but it did not prevent Hindenburg's expression from being serious: "Whatever you are, in my heart, you will always be the Emperor of Germany, the greatest Emperor of Germany." ”
Hindenburg had a complicated relationship with Wilhelm II, and in 1908, Hindenburg, then commander of the Fourth Army, defeated an army under the command of the Kaiser in an exercise, which led Hindenburg to retire in 1911 believing that his promotion was hopeless.
The world war gave Hindenburg a chance to make a comeback, and in 1914, Hindenburg returned to the army, and since then he has been the chief of the German General Staff, the German field marshal, known as a "politician" and "military strategist".
Regardless of Hindenburg's personal relationship with Wilhelm II, it was under Wilhelm II that Hindenburg reached the pinnacle of his life. During Hindenburg's tenure as Chief of the General Staff of the German Army, Wilhelm II gave Hindenburg enough freedom and basically did not interfere in Hindenburg's work, which allowed Hindenburg to give full play to his talents and fight with the Anglo-French forces in the face of insufficient troops and materials.
So for Wilhelm II, Hindenburg was grateful, this was a standard traditional soldier, and the idea of "loyalty and patriotism" was so ingrained in Hindenburg's heart that Wilhelm III had to send Hindenburg and Wilhelm II to Lanfang together.
Hindenburg's life is also a legend, there is a boss who appreciates him, there is a companion who cooperates tacitly, and there is a platform for him to play to his heart's content, but unfortunately there is no luck, so it will fall to this point.
"Okay, the drama between your monarchs and ministers can be staged later, and now it's time to rest." Qin Zhiyuan didn't want to watch the two old men stage a big drama of sympathy for each other, and was ready to go back and continue to cultivate his vineyard.
"Your Majesty, when will we be on board?" Hindenburg had no intention of objecting, but simply asked a question.
"On the ship", which also means that Hindenburg and Wilhelm II will leave Germany for distant Lanfang, although objectively speaking, Lanfang is more suitable for retirement than Germany, but after all, it is difficult to leave the homeland, with the age of Hindenburg and Wilhelm II, it is estimated that there will be no chance to come back to Lanfang, so this is really a heavy topic.
"If there are no accidents, this afternoon or tomorrow morning." Qin Zhiyuan didn't want to dream a lot at night.
A fixed route has been opened between Lanfang and Germany, and there are passenger ships or cargo ships between Lanfang and Germany every day, and it is not difficult for Qin Zhiyuan to arrange for Wilhelm II and Hindenburg to leave Germany, or even at any time.
Of course, given Wilhelm II's status, it is not easy to find a cruise ship that matches Wilhelm II's identity, but given Wilhelm II's current situation, it is estimated that Wilhelm II has not had much to worry about.
"So fast—" Hindenburg's expression was also bitter.
It was only at this time that Hindenburg realized how desperate Wilhelm III was to send them away, Hindenburg also had a lifelong career as a horseman, dedicating all his body and mind to Germany, and now he was simply abandoned by his homeland, and the bitterness in Hindenburg's heart can be imagined.
"You should know the consequences of staying in Germany, and leaving as soon as possible is the best choice for you and for the whole of Germany." Qin Zhiyuan still couldn't bear it, so he asked Hindenburg to sit on the sofa and motioned for Mixia to serve tea.
Well, for a big man like Wilhelm II, Misha is still a little curious.
Of course, because of Wilhelm II's arrogance just now, Qin Zhiyuan didn't greet Wilhelm II at all, and he didn't even mean to be polite.
However, Hindenburg could not bear to see Wilhelm II embarrassed, and took the initiative to invite Wilhelm II to sit down, and still followed behind Wilhelm II politely.
Wilhelm II did not refuse Hindenburg, and it is estimated that Wilhelm II also knew in his heart at this time that if he put on an arrogant posture again, it is estimated that he will not be pleased, so it is better to be honest.
Wilhelm II was not stupid, he would bow his head when he should have bowed his head, otherwise he would not have chosen to flee to the Netherlands at the end of the world war, and if he followed the normal procedure, Wilhelm II should have chosen to live and die with the German Empire.
Not everyone has the courage to use extreme means to express their feelings, Wilhelm II obviously didn't, so after Hindenburg gave Wilhelm II enough steps, even if Qin Zhiyuan's attitude was still not good, Wilhelm II still chose to get off the donkey.
"It's not that we're greedy for power, it's just that we can't rest assured about the current Germany, so we want Germany to run the way we do, and we don't mean to target anyone, including the attack on Sanssouci last night, which is not our original intention." Hindenburg explained a few words anyway.
Hindenburg is right, Germany is the country of Wilhelm III, and at the same time the country of Wilhelm II and Hindenburg, although the behavior of Wilhelm II and Hindenburg has a bad impact on Germany to a certain extent, but it is not the original intention of Hindenburg and Wilhelm II, Wilhelm II and Hindenburg hope that Germany will run according to its own will until it gets out of the current predicament.
"Germany used to run the way you did, but what about the result? If now you decide everything in Germany, will Germany repeat the mistakes of the past? Will the German people still give you the trust they once had? Will Germany still be able to afford another toss-up? Qin Zhiyuan asked one question after another, and only asked Hindenburg sweating profusely.
In fact, before the world war, Hindenburg was still in a state of retirement, Hindenburg was able to become the chief of the German General Staff after Moltke stepped down in the world war, if the cause of the defeat in the world war is all blamed on Hindenburg, it is certainly unfair to Hindenburg, but if it is blamed on the head of Wilhelm II, it is extremely appropriate.
Hindenburg has no way to refute Qin Zhiyuan's words, even if Wilhelm II and Hindenburg succeed in "seizing power", Wilhelm II will be the emperor of Germany, and Hindenburg will continue to be the chief of the General Staff at most.
"But look at what Germany has become of now? Is there anything else Germany can get its hands on? Our GDP used to be the second largest in the world, how much is it now? I'm afraid I won't find Germany's name in the top 20, so I'm confident that if I give me time, I'll definitely bring Germany back to its rightful glory. "Wilhelm II was still confident.
Strictly speaking, Wilhelm II was right, it was under the rule of Wilhelm II that Germany made great progress, and had the strength to compete with England and France.
"It's useless to say that now, the international situation facing Germany is different from before, so the British and the French will not let Germany rise again, and they will not let you return to the throne, so recognize the reality." Qin Zhiyuan was not polite, and immediately ripped off the fig leaf of Wilhelm II.
"Don't think I don't know, now Marx is negotiating with the British, the British are not as tough as they show, Germany still has value for Britain, so Britain will not let Germany sink all the time, this is the opportunity we can take advantage of, as long as we show value, we will definitely be able to rebuild our glory." Kaiser Wilhelm II was not ignorant of the current state of affairs in Germany, and he was also well aware of the movements of the German government.
"Look at it, in front of me, the king of Lanfang, you can unscrupulously reveal the secret acts of the government, don't you know that Lanfang is also a member of the Allied Powers? Do you know what happens if this kind of thing reaches the ears of the French? How can you return to the position of king again? Qin Zhiyuan also ridiculed unscrupulously, regardless of Wilhelm II's iron-blue face.
"You won't, we're pretty sure." Hindenburg couldn't help but open his mouth to relieve Wilhelm II.
The relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and Wilhelm III is also well known in Germany, and after the world war, Lan Fang's behavior in Germany also caused an uproar, but under the suppression of the German government, all different voices disappeared silently, which is very telling.
If this is not enough to prove the friendship between Lanfang and Germany, then the Lanfang-flagged merchant ships that will arrive at German ports every day are a sign of the relationship between Lanfang and Germany, and the things unloaded on it are not fake.
"Yes, I won't, so I would like His Majesty the King to go to Lan Fong. No matter what you think, whether it is house arrest or recuperation, it is necessary, I also hope that you can calm down and stop tossing the already stormy Germany, the era that belongs to you has passed, what you have to do now is not to be willing to be lonely, but to accept this reality calmly. Qin Zhiyuan's tone was indeed calm.
But these words were extremely harsh in the ears of Wilhelm II and Hindenburg, and they were accepted calmly?
How can it be!
