Chapter 599: The First Shot of Accidents

The seemingly schizophrenic practice of waging war while shouting for world peace is still very new and incomprehensible to the people of the second plane in the early 20th century. Of course, they do not know that this is the future of the world, and the means that the US imperialism, which has inherited the essence of European civilization, has always been good at.

In today's world, countries can openly invade under the guise of protecting their colonies, either claiming to protect their own merchants or simply protecting missionaries.

All in all, in terms of the degree of shamelessness, there is not much difference between the current powers and the US imperialism a hundred years later. However, compared to the ability to pull a fig leaf on the face of the paste, it is obvious that the powers of the second plane are still too young, too simple Tucson break!

The threshold for the peoples of all countries, or the upper echelons of the aristocracy of all countries, to bear the pretext of war is so high that the great head of state in the Far East, who has crossed over in the 21 st century, has released a series of trump cards that have been tempered over the past century, and all of them have been in vain.

Even the older generation of politicians and diplomats of the present generation are secretly a little incomprehensible, we are so powerful and real, we can justifiably demand a status and interests commensurate with this, as for so secretive?

Of course, Yang Hao couldn't admit that he was a mistake in judgment, and told them righteously: "Our China is a country with ancient history and civilization, and it is a country of etiquette. If you have the strength to go on a rampage and bully people, won't that become imperialism? ”

But the problem is that at the beginning of the 20th century, most countries looked like. Imperialism is actually not a bad thing.

That's why there's a generation gap. That's not something that can be eliminated in three or five years.

His Excellency Yang Dingshi, the head of state, spent more than ten years. Probably reluctantly pinching the two ideas together, gathering the wisdom of a generation of talents, combined with the research results of the 21st century, it is not easy to sort out a set of outlines of a cultural system that integrates the essence of thousands of years of scholarship along the vein of Chinese civilization, eliminate the extreme degenerate and biased ideas that have deviated since the Song Dynasty, revive the cultural core with the spirit of the Han Dynasty and the pioneering spirit, and forge a new and powerful nation.

It will be a long, ambitious undertaking that will take several generations or more to complete.

His Excellency Yang Hao, the special envoy of Yang Hao "Yang Ziyan", who does not live in the second plane. After coming again, it is inevitable that there will be some out-of-place feelings.

But fortunately, he does not need to care about the general direction, and basically with China's current strength, it can fully meet his various actions that he "does casually" and can afford the consequences.

What a lot of trust this is, but it makes him a little unable to let go.

Now, for example, the European powers are finally gearing up to stage an all-out military campaign, and the Chinese fleet is ready to cross the Atlantic again and join the Moroccan tearing war into the war. According to Sa Zhenbing's idea, we don't need so much nonsense, just rush over and pull the bias frame.

Yang Hao felt it. Isn't this a little too red? We are a big country, and we still have to talk about civilized etiquette. At the very least, you must give the other party a "don't say it unpredictably", and then you can feel at ease when you start.

Although Sa Zhenbing disagreed, he did not object. Anyway, no matter how much you toss, you can't get out of the scope of China's profits, so let him go.

Therefore, in accordance with the strategy of the special envoy His Excellency Yang Ziyan, the Chinese diplomatic department openly declared its "grave concern" and then sailed for Morocco in a majestic manner. Along the way, the fleet opened its posture of being ready to meet at any time, and the cannons were all displayed, frightening the ships of various countries along the way, and all kinds of gossip were in the dust.

The already cloudy situation, which was so mixed with China, accelerated in the direction of lightning and thunder, and the Germans were so energetic that they almost burst into tears. God is pitiful, I have struggled alone for so many years, and I can't help anyone, or a strong friend. Although there is no public covenant, this act of sending charcoal in the snow is even more iron than the iron buddy!

Speaking of which, the Germans are also quite hard. I won't mention the long history of division before, and it's all tears when I talk about it. It was finally reunified, and the Franco-Prussian War also won the powerful French Army, laying the foundation for Germany's strength. After 30 years of rapid development, it finally has the strength of the top three in the Western world today.

However, this did not change the situation that Germany had become a public enemy of Europe, and Britain, France, Russia and other countries unswervingly implemented the strategy of vigilance against Germany and even encirclement, and Wilhelm II was as ambitious as he was in the predicament. Every step forward that Germany has to pay several times more than others.

It's unfair, but that's the reality.

In fact, the Germans still did not know the future China, in the years of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, China owed the world a huge debt, which almost never paid off. In those years, any small Western country, such as Belgium, dared to come up and bully and bite it. A weak chicken like Italy, who has no intention of fighting, can't even do it to the indigenous people of Africa, and can still come to make a colony.

There is no country or nation in the world that has suffered such a painful disaster like China.

Because of this, the Chinese are finally forced to let go of all illusions, do not hesitate to shed blood and sacrifice, no matter how great the difficulties they face, after all, after paying a huge price, they will be reborn from the ashes, independent and self-reliant!

Such a magnificent revolutionary cause, which is rare in human history, is beyond anyone's imagination. Most Chinese in the 21st century have begun to forget the difficulties of the early revolution, regardless of how difficult and difficult it was for their ancestors to struggle out of the abyss of despair in the face of a dark reality. They enjoy the peace and happiness obtained by the blood and sacrifice of their predecessors, drink foreign brand drinks, unashamedly tap on the keyboard to despise the lace news and gossip of the revolutionary ancestors, think they are wise and wise, and publish books in a grand manner, which is simply unreasonable.

Naturally, the Germans today could not imagine that there was anyone worse than them, at least in Japan now, it seems tragic enough. However, because they did not realize their great dream of "breaking away from Asia and joining Europe," the Japanese did not win successive wars. It was also split into two parts. Reduced to slavery and prostitution to the nations. It didn't come into Germany's field of vision at all.

In such a horizontal comparison, the Germans feel that they are the most miserable and lonely, and the so-called Austro-Hungarian allies are unreliable.

So, even if the Chinese visiting fleet did not fire a single shot, it did not even move in place. Germans feel that they are full of spirit and fighting spirit!

Because the British intervened, the Germans, who had planned to grit their teeth and compromise, suddenly hardened. In particular, the German Junker aristocracy shouted: "If it's not fair, go to war!" ”

Later historical records often portray Kaiser Wilhelm II as an arrogant, bloodthirsty war maniac. It was as if the catastrophe of the whole of Europe was caused by his obstinacy. It's like Hitler, who was later demonized, and calling them is politically correct, who dares to say good things for them. Must be an accomplice of ill intentions, the Nazis. Knave!

Yang Hao had no concept of Hitler, and was even more opposed to genocide, at least this article could not be washed away by Hitler and his followers. But as for Wilhelm II, from his own observations, this man was by no means the type to ignore when his head was hot.

In judging the situation facing Germany, Wilhelm II's mind was always happy. His approach to seeking colonies abroad was no different from that of the great powers of his time. As mentioned earlier, it was a common practice in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to grab territory and look for colonies and dumping grounds for industrial products. It can't be said that you Spain, the Netherlands, England, France, and Italy made your fortunes relatively early, and basically divided up the colonies of the world, and then you don't allow later generations to do the same, there is no reason for this.

Germany was congenitally weak geographically, the sea and land were surrounded, and there was no room for the nearby colonies.

Nowadays, the growth rate of German industry is too fast, and the Chinese side has maliciously made it bad, and has secretly helped it to increase its weight for more than ten years, and there is no huge market in the Far East to digest. It can be said that the crisis facing Germany is much more serious than in another time and space. They really have no other way out than to start a war and seek a new breakthrough.

Wilhelm II had to think about the future of the whole country, but he would not go to war at the slightest possibility of negotiating with the Great Powers, so until now his own policy line has been relatively moderate.

It's just that the Junker aristocracy doesn't think so much, these guys are well fed and clothed, they don't care about the suffering of the people, and they don't care about the casualties of the war - they are ordinary people, and they have nothing to do with them. In their bones, the thinking of the Junker aristocracy is still in the era of the principality a few decades ago, and if you lose a war, it is a big deal to pay for it, and the nobility is still a nobleman and will never change.

That is to say, these people are already behind the times, and they have not yet seen clearly that both the growing specter of Marxism and the socialist-revolutionary revolution in Far East China will finally overthrow the aristocracy of this world and achieve democratic-sovereign peace.

The indifference of the Junker aristocracy also included impatience with the moderate policies of Wilhelm II. They can't wait for Britain and France to make concessions, now that they have seen the benefits and are in their hands, whoever dares to grab them, Lao Tzu will beat him back!

When Morocco's phosphate rock and corresponding mineral resources were led by China, Germany seemed to see hope and refused to let go.

If the British don't intervene, maybe Germany may also negotiate with France to exchange colonies or something.

But both China and Britain intervened, and the contradictions were pushed out of control. The blatant occupation of the Moroccan capital by the French infantry was rendered as a merciless trampling of the face of the Germans! For the sake of dignity, for the sake of profit, and in order to vent their energy that has been useless for many years, the Junker nobles resolutely joined forces to resist the pressure of Wilhelm II and issue a rather radical and fierce declaration of resistance!

On September 19, 1909, German warships sailed into the Moroccan port of Agadir on the Atlantic coast, formally declaring their determination not to back down. The French were taken aback, and for a moment they were a little undecided. The British jumped out and declared that the German navy had ports on the Atlantic coast and would seriously threaten its security, and they firmly opposed it and supported France in not giving in and that Morocco must be in control.

At the critical moment, a detachment of the Chinese Navy's visiting fleet, headed by the "Tianjin," arrived at full speed and expressed its support for Germany with practical actions.

Yang Hao, as a special envoy and commander of this fleet led by only a few warships, openly stated to the countries in clear code: "China has no intention of interfering in the disputes between European countries, but we must protect our interests in Morocco." No matter what the conflict is, it must not harm China's legitimate rights and interests. Once we find that countries cannot control their movements, we will not rule out using other means to protect our business people. ”

Look, how familiar that sounds like!

On the Internet in the 21st century, any person who has been in a mixed military and political forum for a long time can say a large set of similar tunes.

Didn't the great powers use such rhetoric to openly turn China's inland rivers and seas into free passages for them to come and go at will? Under the pretext of protecting the businessmen and people, they openly intervened in the internal disputes of the Chinese, and even bombarded the revolutionary army, blocked liberation, prevented the recovery of concessions, and sabotaged and cracked down on the reactionaries to do all their bad deeds.

Today, Yang Hao is just learning from the same thing, a tooth for a tooth!

A mere "Tianjin" heavy cruiser drove in, but it did not seem to be enough to pose much of a threat to the battleships of Britain, France, and other countries. But she represents the dignity of China, and whoever dares to do it, the visiting fleet behind will immediately kill her. Even the Royal Navy of the British Empire has to weigh whether it can fight to the death, whether it can win in the end, and how serious the consequences are.

The French were still relatively brave in this era. During the four years of World War I, even if they suffered one-tenth of the total population, their troops were uncompromising on offense. This is a world of difference from the French army in World War II.

In addition, because of China's brazen attack on Russia to regain the Far East, Russia was more radical than ever before, and more desperately needed the support of its allies. As a result, the treaty originally signed by the three countries was quickly promoted to the status of a military alliance among the three countries.

Now, at last, the time has come for the Triple Entente to come into play.

Russia first stated that they would spare no effort to fight the Chinese invaders in the Far East and recapture the territory of the Far East at all costs, so as to contain China's military power.

That's good news!

The French believed that China was bluffing and Britain was behind the scenes, so when China made a red fruit threat, the French did not back down because of this, and they still gritted their teeth firmly.

The Germans were unable to ride the tiger, and at this time it was obviously impossible to compromise, and then thinking of the rare opportunity to strike at France, the Junker nobles could no longer hold back the enthusiasm in their hearts, and finally, a force of the German army was sent to the African continent through the Austro-Hungarian Empire through the Mediterranean.

The French went-for-tat and sent troops to intercept them, and the two armies didn't know whose responsibility it was, so they inexplicably misfired and fought! (To be continued.) )
