Shredded sunlight poured in through the cracks in the trees, illuminating the room brightly and dappled. At some point, Schlieffen had disappeared into the special Kaiser's room, leaving only Wilhelm and Qingying standing staring at each other and making eye contact.

"Ette, you seem to have expected this ten years ago, right?" After a long time, William first broke the silence in the hall and spoke slowly.

Hearing William's words, Qingying couldn't help but feel a little emotion in her heart; Before I knew it, more than 10 years had passed since I crossed into this world. With a look of remembrance on his face, he said softly, "Yes." At that time, I had just returned from a trip to St. Petersburg, and I was arrogantly selling my knowledge in front of my father in the manner of an ignorant and fearless teenager. But the analysis from that person was not wrong. He had long said that the strong would be envied, and it was for this reason that the empire was surrounded by Britain and France today. ”

"The strong will be envied!" William gritted his teeth and said this, his eyes were full of anger, and he vented loudly in a tone full of unwillingness and resentment, "What is the target of British jealousy, but it is my Germany, and not the United States, which has no nation and history on the other side of the ocean?" That country has 135% of our per capita industrial level and 150% of our huge population, and its comprehensive national strength is twice that of ours, and its economic and industrial strength has left all European countries far behind! The United States is the most powerful challenger that can easily subvert the hegemony of the British world, and Britain does not target them, but surrounds Germany, Edward, the greedy and lascivious old Albion pig, is it blind! ”

Qingying shrugged. "Of course the British are jealous of the United States. And it was madly jealous; At one time, 14 battleships and 13 armored cruisers were under construction in this country at one time. The 'American Steel Company' alone, which was sold, produced more crude steel than the whole of the United Kingdom. But the British clearly understand which countries can be messed with and which ones cannot be messed with. The United States is alone on an entire continent, and its population, resources, political system, technology, and other potential to become a great power in the world are all available, and their rise is already an inevitable end; In this case, the British could only acquiesce to the existence of their hegemony in the North American region. Germany is obviously more threatening than the United States on the other side of the ocean, and our relatively few overseas colonies are not able to trouble the British in the world, and they are well on the list of actions that Britain can take to strangle them. London ostensibly flaunts its humility and benevolence, but behind the scenes, it is all the bloody law of the jungle; This shameless filthy virtue of allowing only oneself and not tolerating others, otherwise we will try to plunder and destroy it. It is also the consistent code of conduct of these gentlemen and robbers. ”

William's right fist was clenched, and there was a glint of hatred in his gray eyes; He took a deep breath and said, "You're right. These treacherous and vicious Anglo-Saxons are the greatest cancer on the planet, and they are brutally oppressing and brutally plundering a quarter of the territory and population of the world, and at the same time meddling in many affairs that have nothing to do with them, stirring up the simple and peaceful situation into great complexity and turmoil, in order to satisfy their insatiable greedy thirst for land and wealth. Even if you pluck out the feathers of all the birds and finches of the plains of Central Europe and make quills, you will not be able to write down all the sins committed by the British. We, the German people, with our industrious hands, have developed the glorious cause inherited by the Holy Emperor into splendid prosperity, but we have not only not received the respect we deserve. Instead, they are surrounded by the hostility of the shameless Sherlocks! I had been so friendly and respectful to the British that I had expressed on numerous occasions my desire to be an ally with them. I didn't expect them to form an alliance with the French! ”

The corners of Qingying's mouth slanted secretly, and she felt full of disapproval of William's words. The reason why Germany was able to embark on the road of the rise of great power was mainly due to the rigorous and tenacious character of the Teutonic nation and the strong technology to lead the electrical industrial revolution, but their barbaric plundering was no less than that, as evidenced by the 5 billion franc reparations in the Franco-Prussian War and the plundering and dumping of overseas colonies. As for William's friendly and respectful attitude towards the British...... I'm afraid even William himself doesn't believe this sentence, right? The Kaiser has always been full of jealousy and resentment towards Britain, and he dreams of replacing Britain, but he is afraid of war with Britain, so he often smiles at the British and proposes an alliance.

"Ettel, you've always surprised me before. In the face of the alliance between Britain and France against our Germany, what should Germany do? William, who had vented his anger in his heart, raised his head and looked at Qingying with hopeful eyes and said.

Qingying spread his hands and said: "With the continuous growth of Germany's national strength, it is an inevitable trend for Britain and France to form an entente, as long as we still dominate Central Europe and dominate the world, the alliance between Britain and France will not collapse." And Russia, owing the French countless loans, and the huge French capital in the country, did not allow the Russians to be at both ends of the future affairs of the European continent. Father, the reason why your current attempt to win over Russia has failed is that it is no longer possible for Russia to break away from the Franco-Russian alliance. Under the operation of the French medium, a large encirclement network has been formed against our Germany, and we have no choice but to start preparing to tear this encirclement by violence from now on. ”

"For the British, a shameless scoundrel who believes in the law of the jungle, any kind words are seen as weakness and deceitful, and then they will be further humiliated. So the only way to talk to them normally is with glittering armor and iron-clad fists! A fierce light flashed in Qing Yingxing's eyes, and he said, "The reason why Britain was able to take charge of the hegemony of the world and fan the flames and jump up and down in the affairs of Europe that had nothing to do with them was because of their naval fleet, which had dominated the seas for 300 years. Prior to this, Britain's position as the supremacy of the seas was indeed difficult to shake, and today, with the leap and bounds of technology and technology, Germany, with its powerful industry, is definitely no longer a spectator on the sea! From now on, too, we should build a large naval fleet, so that the British will tremble and tremble before our majestic floating islands; With a national power far superior to Britain in terms of economic data and total industrial volume, a powerful fleet will be formed in a very short time. Only when Germany had a navy strong enough to deprive Britain of its maritime supremacy in a decisive battle would London really begin to seriously consider war and relations with our Germany. ”

William was surprised when he heard this: "Isn't this the idea of the risk fleet that Alfred proposed?" I remember you didn't approve of this plan at the beginning, why have you changed your mind now? ”

Qingying explained, "The reason why I am switching to the concept of a risk fleet today is because the situation has changed fundamentally compared to the past. ”

"Ten years ago, Germany had surpassed Britain only in heavy industry output, and it was still far from Britain in terms of economic aggregate and light industry, and Britain did not regard Germany as their greatest imaginary enemy. Under these circumstances, we naturally want to let the British fight against France and Russia, while we ourselves keep a low profile and strive to develop our own national economy. Today, however, our industrial wealth has surpassed that of the United Kingdom, and it is officially listed as the number one threat by the United Kingdom; In this case, we naturally cannot and do not need to continue to be obscure as usual. Since the understanding reached between Britain and France has led to a sharp deterioration in the security situation in our Germany, we must also strike back with the strongest possible means that directly threaten the foundations of the empire on which the sun never sets! We must let the British and the world see that this is the shameful end of daring to unilaterally provoke the majesty of Berlin and harm the interests of Germany. Qingying said with full of spirit and righteousness. In fact, there is another reason he didn't say, that is, the ship-building technology ten years ago could only make Germany fearless before building some scum, and the cost performance was really unsightly; And now the navy has entered the era of dreadnoughts, and every capital ship will be a real mainstay in naval warfare. For Germany, which has given priority to securing the army, it is obviously very necessary to ensure the efficient use of naval funds.

William's eyes showed a look of relief, and his grim face seemed to soften a lot in an instant. He nodded lightly and said, "If you think like this, it proves that you have really grown." Because of the conservative policies we had pursued before, the monarchs of Europe generally regarded Germany as an insignificant character, and my words were always taken on deaf ears by them. The reverence and respect which we deserve in Germany, based on the industrial power of Europe's first economy, have never been seen in the bowing of their small heads to Germany, but with self-confidence that somehow came from them. Since we cannot obtain the position of the alliance won by our Germany by peaceful means, we can only plow it with a sharp sword. When the Imperial Army has completed its rearmament of the sweep of France, and the navy has been expanded in a shocking Britain, I would like to see who else dares not bow respectfully to my Germany!
