"Let other peoples divide the continent and the sea, and the time when we in Germany were content with blue skies is over, and we also demand territory under the sun."

As the fourth chancellor of the German Empire, Bernhard? Feng? Pilov's foreign policy was different from the cautious of Bismarck's time, and more often than not his foreign policy was risky and aggressive, in fact, it was in line with the character of His Majesty the Emperor, who was equally adventurous and radical compared to his father, who envied the large fleet and colonies that Britain possessed, as well as its international influence.

It is precisely because of this that the cautiousness of the Bismarck era was abandoned under the leadership of Wilhelm II, and the risky and aggressive foreign policy repeatedly challenged Britain's bottom line, and in the Boer War, Germany intervened to support the Boers, and even if it were not for its strength, he might even be involved in it, which can be said to be one of the fundamental reasons why Britain shifted its attention to Europe.

At the same time, Wilhelm II is talking about the "**** theory" in Europe, especially after the outbreak of the Sino-Russian War, in the face of the aggressive attack of the Chinese army and the rout of Russia, the biggest nightmare is the threat to Europe under the rise of the huge Chinese dragon. Wilhelm II also specially invited the painter Knacoffus to create an oil painting "All the peoples of the world, protect your most precious possessions" - also known as "**** picture" to Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, and ordered the engraving to be printed and widely distributed.

The clouds are thick, the city is burning, and the catastrophe is about to befall.

Who can stop the dragon?

Just like the picture shown in the "**** picture", the angel symbolizing the Germanic peoples holds a shining sword in his hand, leading Europe against the threat from the East.

And now, just two days ago, a huge German-Austrian army had crossed the border with Russia, but instead of helping Europe to stop the "****", they were helping Russia to suppress the revolution that had taken place in Russia, which had turned into a riot, like the French Revolution, and now only Germany could stop it.

Just like the appeal when the "**** map" was distributed, the current Wilhelm II is even more declared.

"It is Germany's duty and duty to defend and maintain order in Europe from being destroyed by riots!"

A carriage escorted by cavalry guards drove straight along Linden Strasse, which runs through the center of Berlin, to the Imperial Palace in the East End. The horse's breath flowed like a white mist in the cold air, the black, white, and red flag of the German Empire and the Prussian flag with a black eagle on a white background fluttered in the wind, and the metal decorations on the tops of military hats and spears glistened silver in the sun.

Perhaps, in the far East, as a means of transportation in the new century, the automobile has begun to replace the horse-drawn carriage, but in Europe, in this place that has guided the development of world civilization in modern times, the horse-drawn carriage is still the most important means of transportation in the new century, and even when reporters from various countries send back reports from the Sino-Russian front, many people do not know what a car is and what a truck is, let alone imagine how tens of thousands of trucks can guarantee the transportation of the army, at least in this regard, Europe has been left far behind by China.

Pedestrians on the side of the road watched the procession and whispered to each other.

"That's Your Excellency the Chief of Staff......"

"That's Count Schlieffen......"

The head of the military power of the German Empire, with a straight uniform, shot eagle-sharp eyes from the carriage window. He seemed to be bothered by something, and his face was as cold as a rock, and his expression was serious.

And two Orientals in military uniforms also stopped, staring at the fast carriage in front of them, their expressions a little solemn.

"That's Alfred? Feng? Count Schlieffen, cavalry general, chief of the General Staff of the German Army. ”

One of the young officers said to his companion.

It is normal that there will be Eastern officers in Berlin, according to the head of the instructor corps of the Northeast Army University, Colmar? Feng? Morality? Goltz's suggestion is that since a few years ago, the Northeast Army has begun to send the best young officers to Germany for training, and it can be said that it is Germany's military education that has cultivated the core backbone of the Northeast Army and even the modern Chinese army.

In the past 10 years, more than 38,600 officers have been trained in the military education system in Northeast China, and more than 5,000 of them have received military education in Germany for as little as six months or two to three years.

The reason is simple, in their military education career, the color of Germany always surrounds them, whether it is the army officer school, or the army university, or even in the army primary school, you can also see the figure of German instructors, and it is precisely for this reason that when they learned the news of Germany's intervention in the Russian Revolution, the feelings of hundreds of Chinese officers studying in Germany are the most complicated.

"It was Count Schlieffen's plan to interfere in the Russian Revolution!"

Another Chinese officer said with some distress, with a worried look on his brows, as if he was thinking about the uncertain direction of China and Germany in the future, and it was also a choice that he had to make, and the most difficult thing in life is often choice.

"Their interference in the Russian Revolution is not a cause for concern, but the question is whether they will take the opportunity to intervene in the war between us and Russia, knowing that our army has advanced to Novosibirsk! If all goes well, it will even be possible for us to cross the Urals, after all, now the Siberian corps is already on the verge of collapse...... "

Siberian Legion!

It was the last corps of the Russian Empire, they were collapsing, the revolution that took place in the rear cut off their supplies, and on their front, a huge army, was constantly attacking, and in order to avoid falling into the same miserable situation as the Far Eastern Corps, the Siberian Corps suddenly retreated half a month ago, all the way to Novosibirsk.

And in Europe, this retreat is undoubtedly a demonstration to the whole world of the fact that the Russian Empire has collapsed!

It was the early morning of November 7, 1902, although the cold was pressing, the winter haze in Berlin had a rare winter sunshine, the bright sunlight reflected into the palace through the glass window, it was originally a good weather for a trip, but at this time, because of the visit of Count Schlieffen, as the emperor Wilhelm II had to adjust his plans.

"The Russians have completely collapsed!"

In the face of His Majesty, Count Schlieffen, as Chief of Staff, told His Majesty a reality.

"Why? My general! ”

Wilhelm II looked at the Chief of Staff in astonishment, and just yesterday he was reporting that the army's offensive had gone smoothly beyond imagination, and that they had met with little resistance, that is, in Poland by some independents.

"Because of the Chinese!"

Count Schlieffen spat out the most fundamental reason.

"Now the question is no longer whether we can help Russia restore order, with the onset of winter, our offensive will inevitably stop, after all, we are not ready for war, at least not for war in the Russian winter!"

"Why can the Chinese? If I'm not mistaken, we have intelligence that their army seems to be brewing a new offensive! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is precisely for this reason that we are frightening, because we have to face the reality that even if we defeat the Russian insurgents after the arrival of tomorrow spring, we will have to face a situation - the fact that millions of Chinese troops have crossed the Ural Mountains!"

This was the most troublesome thing for Count Schlieffen, the chief of staff of the German army, as the chief of staff of the German Empire, he was full of confidence when drawing up a battle plan to intervene in the Russian Revolution, and for him, he preferred to turn the Russian land into a training ground.

However, since the reunification of China, his whole person has been in an unprecedented state of melancholy. Because he knew very well that in the future, hundreds of thousands of German troops would have to deal with not just a riotous army of mobs, but a large regular army.

"Your Majesty, Chinese now have more than three million troops in Siberia, and according to our intelligence, after the completion of reunification, China will be able to mobilize another 10 million or so troops, of course, they can even mobilize more troops if they want......"

Because there are a large number of German military instructors in China's military education system, and there are German military advisers around the governors inside and outside China, so Germany is very aware of China's stored power, 10 million is just a "low" number, but for Germany, it is undoubtedly an astronomical number.

"Millions of troops are like a flood in themselves, if they mobilize tens of millions of troops, then, Your Majesty, even if we have the best army in the world, will be overwhelmed by the flood, my Majesty!"

This is the most terrible place, maybe the German army is very good, but the numerical advantage is impossible to ignore, not to mention that all the intelligence shows that the Chinese army is also very good, and even compared with the German army, they also have advantages that are difficult for other countries to achieve, such as airships, machine guns, and even artillery, in short, they need to face a modern army that is not inferior to the European army.

That's why he felt apprehension, even anxiety, because he knew very well where the war would slide if that happened.

"My general, you are too pessimistic, if we can solve the riot of the Russian thugs next summer, then, when the time comes, the Russians can mobilize their forces to stop the Chinese, the Russians can mobilize millions of troops to stop the Chinese's attack, of course, we can also give them some help then, if necessary, we may be able to declare war on that person......"

As the emperor of Germany, Wilhelm II was even a little arrogant and arrogant, and in the treatment of the Chinese emperor, he did not even bother to use "emperor" to call each other, because for him, the emperor is also related to blood, and this is exactly what the Chinese emperor lacks, he is just an ordinary person. How ridiculous is it to become the emperor of the country with his army, like the Russian thugs, could they have overthrown the Romanovs and could have established a new dynasty?

Of course, this can't be!

Even in private, Wilhelm II secretly felt that fortunately the Qing was in Asia, not Europe, if it was Europe, he would definitely send German troops to help the Qing restore their rule like interfering with Russia, and then get a lot of money in return for the Qing State, of course, this idea is just so imaginative, even if he is arrogant, he knows very well that Germany is not capable of intervening in the affairs of the Qing State and preventing the destruction of the Qing State, because Britain will never agree to him meddling in the affairs of China.

"Your Majesty, the question now is, how long can the Russians hold out!"

Looking at His Majesty, Count Schlieffen said solemnly.

"What if the Siberian Legion had already failed before the summer? Now, the Chinese did not stop attacking because of winter, and if the Siberian Army failed, then it would undoubtedly be a disaster for Russia, not that there was no one to stop the Chinese from attacking Europe, but that no one could stop the all-round cooperation between the Chinese and the Russian rioters! ”

"Working with the thugs, he's crazy!"

As soon as Wilhelm II's words were finished, Count Schlieffen replied.

"No, they will definitely cooperate with the Russian rioters, we all know very well, even now, they have given a lot of support to those rioters, and now with our intervention in the Russian riots, will the Chinese cooperate with the rioters in all directions after defeating the Siberian Legion?" After all, for them, all they need is an object of negotiation, and this object can be both the Russian Empire and Soviet Russia! ”

Count Schlieffen may not be a politician, but as a soldier, he knows very well what China needs, what they need is a negotiating partner, and German intervention in Russia will undoubtedly lead to a situation.

"In order to stop our attack, it is very likely that the Russian insurgents will do whatever it takes, and they may even cede a lot of land in exchange for Chinese intervention, and when the time comes, the war in Russia will most likely turn into a war between China and Germany, Your Majesty!"

It turned into a war between China and Germany!

Count Schlieffen's warning made Wilhelm II slightly stunned, interfering in the Russian Revolution was based on the fear of revolution, especially based on historical experience, if the Russian Revolution could not be quelled, the revolution would also spread to Germany and the whole of Europe, and more importantly, for the sake of international reputation, the suppression of riots was hardly called a war compared to a real war,

But if the war turns into a war between China and Germany, will it be in Germany's interest for Germany to intervene? This was something that Wilhelm II had to consider.

"My general, do you have any suggestions?" (To be continued.) )
