Chapter 622: No Fight! Don't fight!
In September 1895, the world was shocked by a piece of news!
Kaiser Wilhelm II was placed under house arrest by Empress Frederick!
Yes, this is a palace coup, which can be said to be very bizarre, the mother dealt with her son, and this ......
"Huh?" When Li Mengyang heard the news, who was the first thing he thought of?
That's right, Empress Dowager Cixi!
Wuxu changed the law, Cixi put Guangxu under house arrest!
And now, the same one is coming in Germany, but ...... Then Wilhelm II was the own son of Empress Frederick!
Cixi's side, at least not pro, Guangxu is the son of Prince Qiye, and the son of Cixi's sister, not her.
I have to say, a little confused, but soon, more interesting news came.
Caprivi Shimono!
"I, the German Empire, now declare an armistice against the Entente! From now on, we hope to start negotiations! ......" said this by Bismarck, who had been ousted from power before!
Moreover, it is still an edict to the whole world!
This is to tell the whole world again, our German Empire has surrendered, you all come, let's talk about a verdict!
Although Bismarck did not directly say that Germany had surrendered, this is what he meant anyway, but if he directly shouted surrender, the momentum was a bit weak.
That's definitely what it means, that's what I said, don't fight, don't fight, we're convinced!
Well, people in Germany still want something else, talk about conditions, do deals or something.
Yes, they have some leverage right now, but not ......
No matter how you look at it, this is also a unilateral truce!
How will the coalition respond?
"In view of the friendly behavior of the German Reich, we have now decided to negotiate, but until then. Let's hope the German army will lay down its arms! "Old Roberts also made a statement here, and the meaning is simple...... Surrender first, even if it's symbolic!
To be honest, it's really weird, generally wars are not like this, but now ...... No matter. And, ah, everyone has their own reasoning.
The German side is hard-mouthed, we did not surrender, we only temporarily ceasefired.
And on the coalition side, we didn't say that you surrendered, but don't hurt anyone.
Everyone has a leeway, it's not bad, so. So what about it...... Let's talk!
Anyway, as long as everyone doesn't fight, it's easy to say, but ......
So how did Wilhelm II get it done? Why is he so stupid and under house arrest?
Li Mengyang really wants to figure it out, because this is different from his original plan, he still wants to make this big war fight for a while!
That's right, the longer you fight, the more time our Pacific Empire will have, development. Outcome...... Hey~ The day is not as good as the people, but it still hasn't been delayed for too long.
But. The coalition forces over there are going to talk, but Li Mengyang is here......
"Oh! My dear majesty, you are still so young. ”
"Hahaha, hello, it's too much of a compliment."
Li Mengyang was not idle, because Grand Duke Maximiliano of the Austro-Hungarian Empire came!
What's going on here?
Let's do it. Let's start with the German side......
When Xiao Mao Qi found Bismarck, and then told the whole situation, he didn't need to introduce more, Bismarck immediately understood, so what should he do now?
If it's late. Then Germany may well be doomed!
You must know that in the previous Battle of the Somme, the enemy Pacific Empire defeated the German mechanized forces with only infantry, which is simply unimaginable.
Maybe it's his own weapon that was held by the Pacific Empire, that is, a tank or something.
However, there is one fact that cannot be ignored, and that is that if this situation continues, the German Empire may well be doomed!
How could Bismarck, who had been a diplomat all his life, not see this?
The speed of the war must be getting faster and faster, and it may seem like a small thing now, but it can quickly become a big area, and this kind of thing is common.
So, if you want to surrender, you have to be fast, this is a must, and you really have to say surrender.
Then you have to find someone to be the mediator, this person...... Obviously, the whole world is in, so there is a connection, it is Empress Frederick!
It should be said that this queen can be a mediator, after all, she is British, and she is also a woman, the mother of Wilhelm II!
It's her, it's her!
The point is, Empress Frederick has a chance to get her son Wilhelm II!
So, everyone came up with a similar plan, and it didn't take long for it to begin!
After all, Bismarck is an old minister, and he has a good relationship with Empress Frederick, and the two are still very familiar, so, of course, Bismarck will be the lobbyist, and this Empress Frederick ...... Soon agreed!
The reason is very simple......
"I can't watch my son fight his mother!"
That's right, she said it very well, her relationship is so awkward.
So...... The German Empire's version of the Yingtai Revolution is here!
Empress Frederick's success is obviously because of the original stubborn forces in Germany helping her, and these stubborn forces, that is not small, besides, Bismarck's residual heat is still there, with him involved, a lot of costs can be saved.
And the most interesting thing is that when Wilhelm II was placed under house arrest, no general in Germany came out to stand up for the Kaiser!
It's really weird, really.
In other words, in fact, the German military has long been dissatisfied with this emperor.
No way, Wilhelm II is really a weird guy, and he is really not popular.
In this way, Wilhelm II was locked up, then Bismarck just returned to power, and then Empress Frederick happened to be in control of the German Imperial Palace, everyone really took what they wanted.
So, don't do it and don't stop it, dry vinegar!
Such a thing can be discussed, and since the Germans are like this, what about their ally Austria-Hungary?
To say. After all, Austria-Hungary is also an old European hegemon, and they can see this country clearly.
After the Battle of the Somme, it was telling others that this battle should not be fought, so Austria-Hungary actually began to plan for surrender a long time ago!
Actually, everyone understands. After the Pacific Empire joined the war, then the result was already clear, so would it still be fought?
Besides, Austria-Hungary, they have a good relationship with the Pacific Empire.
So...... Grand Duke Maximiliano, you step down first.
By the way, he was the military commander of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, although nominally Franz I. Well, after stepping down. Grand Duke Maximiliano secretly crossed the ocean, using his little friendship with Li Mengyang, let's talk about it.
In the same way, let's talk about the details, what the Austro-Hungarian Empire is actually thinking about is, can it keep these places that it occupies now?
It's also interesting, didn't Austria-Hungary take Italy?
And Italy. Before, the relationship with the Allies was very ambiguous, in fact. Italy was ruled by Austria-Hungary before, so although Italy was defeated, it was equivalent to the widow meeting the fat fan, and the two sides were very close. Then, troops were sent from both sides. Went to North Africa!
There is one country in North Africa that Italy has always coveted, and that is Ethiopia!
What is now Ethiopia is called the Abyssinian Empire, and the word means mixed race. Actually, it's from Arabic. In other words, the people of this country don't seem to be so dark.
But though, the current ruler is still a black man, Menelik II!
This dude is also a legend, and among blacks, he is considered a powerful character.
But what is the matter with Italy?
To put it simply, Italy wants to occupy other people's places and become colonies!
But this did not come out of thin air, mainly because of the civil strife in Ethiopia, and this Menelik II was going to come to power, and he wanted to rebel against some other forces, such as the British, then he had to introduce some other forces, and Italy was one of the good choices.
Driving away wolves and devouring tigers, this black guy is also very powerful, but he soon found out that it is easy to invite God and difficult to send God, and the Italians don't want to leave.
So, let's fight the Italians again!
The Italians, they are really enough, and they can't fight with Ethiopia at that time, that is, the Abyssinian Empire!
Ay~
That man Menelik II was awesome, awesome.
And now, Italy is allied with the Allies again, and we are one family, so let's go and fight Abyssinia!
It really just went, so the main energy of the later Austro-Hungarian Empire was put here, that is, Northeast Africa.
No way, the Italians are too pitiful!
This Abyssinia didn't completely come down, anyway, it didn't come down in such an almost primitive place, but ......
"Your Majesty! Can we have the territory we have now? ”
"This ......"
Grand Duke Maximiliano made it clear that he wanted to retain the current Austro-Hungarian sphere of influence, but this was clearly a retreat.
"Poland can't do it, you have to withdraw, Poland has to be clean, and Germany has to withdraw. As for the rest, Abyssinian, don't think about it, that's it anyway. And Italy, the north has given you a part, what do you think? ”
"Huh?"
In the face of Li Mengyang's statement, this Maximiliano is still a little ...... Anyway, I just want more!
But...... Hey, are you a defeated country?
To be honest, it's really weird, really.
But this thing is a little too good for Austria-Hungary, right?
Of course, Austria-Hungary itself felt that this was not good, and they thought that they could keep their current territory.
So, what is Li Mengyang going to do?
"Let me tell you this, with the current strength of your Austro-Hungarian Empire, it is estimated that soon, Hungary will change the sky, and they will not listen to you, so, Hungary, let's just let our Pacific Empire garrison and help you, how about it?"
Li Mengyang, this guy...... (To be continued.) )
