Chapter 305: Revitalizing the Schlieffen Plan (Part II)

"Who leaked the secret? I'm going to kill him!" ”

Inside Sanssouci Palace, the German Emperor Wilhelm II was furious, apparently angry at this very bad news. Because the news came from Taiwan's military secretary just now, that is, that the Schlieffen plan has been known to Wang Guorui, which is not good news. You must know that in Germany, it was only the highest levels of direct mail who knew about Schlieffen's plan, and even in the General Staff, only a small number of core staff officers knew about it, and Bach, who was sent to Taiwan, only vaguely knew Schlieffen's general strategy, but did not know about this plan.

It is conceivable that if this plan is leaked, especially by Russia and France, it will be in vain. Even France and Russia would have made strategic adjustments to avoid such a fierce German attack. And military plans can only be perfectly executed under the condition of secrecy, but once the secrets are leaked, let alone any execution, it is very possible, or even almost certain, that people will follow the river and plot against you once. So once this Schlieffen plan leaks out, then Germany will really be in big trouble.

This made Wilhelm II furious, it was a slap in the face!

"Your Majesty, it's useless to care about these now, the plan has been leaked, and it has been leaked to the Chinese side, and it doesn't matter who leaked it now. However, the only good news we can get, I am afraid that China wants to cooperate with us, so we will not be able to reverse the situation! Chief of the General Staff Schlieffen said.

The current chief of the General Staff also feels very embarrassed, and the plan he made has been leaked, which is really fatal. And the plan I made seems perfect, but in fact it is just a gamble, a big gamble. And Schlieffen also had to sigh that he did ignore the Americans. If it is really as Wang Guorui deduced, then I am afraid that the Americans will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back, and Germany will lose a piece of the battle in this battle. And in this case, if Germany wants to get out of the situation, there is no way at all.

"What do you think is the plan of the Taiwanese side. How is it? Wilhelm II asked.

And Schlieffen also said: "The genius plan can indeed solve the problems we encounter." If we can have a strong ally in the East, the chances of our success will be greatly increased. Even if it fails, it won't be a complete failure. ”

"Plus China is different from us in Germany. China has a huge population and has enough resources. If we go to war, we will certainly not be able to transport resources from outside, which will lead us to a situation where we talk about our scarcity. And if China can give us resources, then we will be able to replenish them very effectively. Greatly increasing our strength will allow us to continue our long-term war. Even if the Americans come in the end, we can ask China to send troops over as a new force on our side, so as to prevent the Americans from becoming the last straw that crushes us. Even the Chinese will be the last straw that crushes Britain, France and Russia, so we can consider cooperating with China. ”

Wilhelm II thought for a moment and said: "Cooperate with China, but what if this Chinese dragon threatens us Europe in the future?" ”

Wilhelm II is now starting to worry about China, in case China becomes strong in the future. Instead, they can come and threaten Germany, so what will happen to them? In the past, Wilhelm II also had a famous argument, that is, the Yellow Peril theory, that is, about Japan taking China to attack the Western world. If Japan conquers China, then Japan can completely defeat the Western world with the help of China's huge population and resources, and they will be very miserable at that time.

Therefore, Wilhelm II's Yellow Peril theory is very widespread in Europe. Of course, the current Yellow Peril theory does not refer to Japan, but to Taiwan. The Yellow Peril theory proposed by Wilhelm II is not aimed at Japan. It's Taiwan. But if they want to cooperate with Taiwan, the "yellow peril", it will be very difficult for Wilhelm II to accept. This made him feel very anxious, so from the bottom of his heart, Wilhelm II did not want to cooperate with Taiwan. So Wilhelm II is also very hesitant now.

"Is there no other way?" Wilhelm II asked.

"There are not many good ways, unless our plan can really be realized, otherwise the outcome that we Germany faces, I am afraid that the outcome of our Germany will eventually fail, as predicted by Taiwan!" Schlieffen said.

Even Schlieffen is not very sure about the realization of his plan. Schlieffen also admitted it in the later period. This Schlieffen plan was not a surefire rule, but a big gamble. If the bet is lost, then it is a war of attrition, and Germany is definitely not the one who can win. However, Taiwan's plan seems to have opened a window for him, and this may be a good solution to this problem, and perhaps Germany can seize the opportunity to rejuvenate.

And this qiē is also in the hands of the Chinese, or in the hands of Taiwan.

Seeing that Wilhelm II was still hesitant, Schlieffen said again: "Your Majesty, the decision is not in our hands now, it is in the hands of the Taiwanese!" If we don't cooperate, then they don't lose anything, but we lose. Even if they tell Britain, France, and Russia about this plan at that time, then we in Germany will really be doomed. At that time, the difficulties we will face will not only be one or two times more, but countless times more! Therefore, now that it has been manipulated by Taiwan, we can't refuse at all! ”

"Damn, a small Taiwan, it's so difficult! If I could, I would have killed them! Kaiser Wilhelm II said.

"Your Majesty, no! Although Taiwan is small, they have hundreds of thousands of land forces, and their firepower is much more powerful than ours. If we attack them directly, what price will we pay? At that time, we were under a lot of pressure. Our enemies are Britain, France, and Russia, and the enemies of our enemies are also our friends, so why should we make enemies with Taiwan for this? Also, we don't have any colonies or interests in China, which means that we don't have any direct conflicts or interests with Taiwan. On the contrary, Britain, France, and Russia have all encroached on a large amount of China's territory and various rights and interests, and with the national thinking of the leaders of Taiwan, they will not allow these countries to continue to encroach on their interests, and then they will inevitably break out into a war. So they must have become enemies, so why should we do this to the enemies of our enemies? It's not good for us! Schlieffen said.

Wilhelm II sighed, after all, Germany's opponents were Britain, France, and Russia, not Taiwan. Although Taiwan seems to be at the bottom of the great powers in the world, it is like a wedge that has been ruthlessly inserted into the chessboard of the overall world situation. If Taiwan can rule the whole of China, then they will become a great power, and they can completely maneuver between the two blocs. If China supports Britain, France and Russia, then Germany's fate will be at a halt. But if China supports Germany, the outcome is not yet known!

"Then you can't guarantee that your plan will be 100% completed?" Wilhelm II asked.

"Your Majesty, there is no war plan in this world that can be 100% accomplished. And cooperation with China does not conflict with our plans. First of all, we can continue to complete that plan, and China can contain Russia, and there is no conflict with that. But if we succeed in the future, then it will be fine. But if we fail, it will also allow us to keep China at bay with Russia, so that we don't have to worry about being attacked by them. As for what we need to do next, we can leave a way back! We always have to leave ourselves a way back, if there is no way back, then how can we survive in peace? Therefore, this back road is bound to be saved, and if we don't leave a back road, then I'm afraid the result we face will definitely be very dangerous! Schlieffen said.

Hearing Schlieffen say this, Wilhelm II was helpless, because this matter was completely in the hands of Taiwan. If Taiwan sends this Schlieffen plan to Britain, France, and Russia, then I am afraid that Germany will be in a tragedy. So now Germany is tantamount to being held by Wang Guorui with pigtails, and it is impossible to resist Taiwan's demands at all. However, the only advantage is that it can give Germany an extra way back, and even the possibility of complete success. However, Wilhelm II was very careful, because he put forward the Yellow Peril theory, which was naturally very worrying.

"Well, let that military secretary Bach go and test it and see what conditions Taiwan wants? If the conditions are not excessive, we can discuss whether to cooperate with China, and then we can discuss further. However, if you want to cooperate with us in Germany, you also need capital. If they had ruled the whole of China, we wouldn't have cooperated with them on a large scale, and hopefully they will understand! Kaiser Wilhelm II said.

Soon, the news spread to Nanyang Dongwanlu again, and that Bach also received an order to test Wang Guorui's thoughts, knowing what Wang Guorui thought and what conditions he had. (To be continued.) )
