Like the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the German Empire was angry at the Chinese Empire's refusal to allow them to exploit oil in the Persian Gulf. It's just that, compared to the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the German Empire had long expected this outcome. After all, they were the only countries that could pose a threat to the Chinese Empire, and the Chinese Empire would not sit idly by and watch them become stronger. However, this also undoubtedly shows that the Chinese Empire really wants to suppress the German Empire, and the contradictions between the two countries are irreconcilable.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our request for prospecting rights in the Persian Gulf was rejected by the Chinese. Now it seems that the Chinese have always been on guard against us. It is foreseeable that our two countries will inevitably become enemies in the future. This is no small matter for the Empire. After all, our enemies are too strong! Kaiser Wilhelm I said. Probably any country will feel powerless against a super-hegemon like the Chinese Empire! However, the current German Empire could no longer stop their footsteps, and they had no other choice but to confront the Chinese Empire to the end.

"Your Majesty, although the Chinese Empire is strong, the German Empire is not weak. Especially in Europe, we still have an absolute advantage! Wasn't the Chinese Empire's challenge to the British Empire's world hegemony similarly considered impossible by most people? In the end, however, they emerged victorious. Therefore, it is also possible for the German Empire to defeat the Chinese and win world hegemony! German Chancellor Otto. Feng. Bismarck? Said. The center of gravity of the Chinese Empire was on the coast of East Asia and the Pacific Ocean, and as far away as Europe, although heavy troops were also deployed. But basically, it's just a few fulcrums. Relatively speaking, the German Empire, which had completed its integration. It has a great advantage in Europe.

As for Otto. Feng. Chancellor Bismarck's statement that the German Empire was not without the possibility of defeating the Chinese Empire can be believed. After all. It is precisely because they firmly believe in this that they have always opposed the Chinese Empire. No one wants to taste the taste of defeat, although the German Empire wants to replace the Chinese Empire as the world hegemon. But if they don't have the slightest chance of winning, they won't do it. After all, what they want is to win, not to die.

"So, how do we solve the oil problem?" The Chief of the General Staff of the German Army, Count Moltke, asked. He was preparing to vigorously promote the replacement of mules and horses with cars and trucks in the German army, which had the same great mobility as the Chinese army. If there is not enough oil. That qiē became empty talk. It was almost very difficult for the German Army to improve its strength. Not only that, but they will be thrown farther and farther away by the Chinese Army. When the time comes, it will be almost impossible to win again.

"Your Majesty, the Navy also plans to design the warships of the next class as battleships with oil-fired boilers. This will greatly improve the performance of our warships. Of course, this means that the Navy needs to consume a lot of oil! Said the Admiralty, Prince Felix.

"Oil, the German Empire must have enough oil resources. Otherwise, we will not be able to confront the Chinese Empire in the future! "Frederick. Crown Prince William also said. From the Chinese Empire, desperately trying to keep the German Empire out of oil exploitation in the Persian Gulf. They can see the importance of oil. Otherwise, the Chinese would not have done it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we don't have any other solution to the oil problem for the time being. The only way to solve this problem is to increase oil exploration in the hope of finding oil. It is better to find oil on the mainland of the empire. The other was to establish an oil reserve system to ensure that after the Chinese cut off the oil supply to the empire. The empire was also able to have enough oil to deal with the crisis. Didn't the Chinese claim that they could sell oil to the empire at a low price? This is a good way to demand more oil from the Chinese. In this case, the cost of building an oil reserve system may be much smaller! "Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck said.

"Put your destiny in the hands of the Chinese. This is never a good thing. It would be best if you could have your own oil field! William I said. However, although the territory of Germany is large, it is also rich in resources. But on oil, nothing was found. This had to make Wilhelm I very depressed, why did God treat the German Empire like this?

"But, Your Majesty. Our geologists and oil exploration workers have worked hard. But we still haven't been able to find oil on our soil. Perhaps, Germany is really an oil-poor country! "Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck said. From his words, you can also hear the deep unwillingness and helplessness. If Germany could have its own oil fields, it would be in a much better position.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, there are no oil fields on the mainland of Germany, so we can only look elsewhere. Africa and the Americas, which were not part of the Chinese Empire's control, could find oil. As long as we have our own oil fields, we can transport oil back to the country for storage with minimal cost. In this case, we are much less likely to be threatened! "Foreign Secretary Albrech. Feng. Ron said.

Although, now the Chinese Empire has occupied almost half of the world. However, there were still quite a few areas outside the control of the Chinese Empire. For example, Latin America is North America and South America south of the original United States. In those vast lands, there may be oil deposits. In northern Africa, there were also colonies of the Ottoman Empire, and Germany could still cooperate with the Ottoman Empire through Guò to find oil in these lands. No one can guarantee that in these lands, there will be no oil deposits. If oil could be discovered, the crisis in Germany would be resolved. Of course, even if it is not found, this is not much of a loss for Germany. Germany can still import a large amount of oil from the Chinese Empire before it tears its face with the Chinese Empire and complete the construction of the national oil reserve system.

"Your Majesty, Count Ron's opinion is very good, in order to find oil, we can indeed expand from within the country to the rest of the world!" Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck said.

"Hmmm! Just do what Earl Ron advises! Find a way to find oil outside the power of the Chinese Empire, and if you can find it, it will be a great achievement! William I said. Although, he knew it would cost a lot of money. However, Germany will have to be willing to invest. These are worth the investment compared to the security of the country.

"Father, I know a place where there may be oil!" Frederick. Crown Prince William said suddenly.

"Oh? Where? William I hurriedly asked.

"Kingdom of Persia! The Kingdom of Persia is also a country on the coast of the Persian Gulf, especially on the eastern shore of the Persian Gulf, where they have a plain. The terrain there is no different from the rest of the Persian Gulf. Since the Chinese have discovered oil on the west coast of the Persian Gulf, it is very likely that there is also zài oil on the land on the east coast of the Persian Gulf! At least, the probability of oil discovery here is much higher than in other regions! "Frederick. Crown Prince William said.

"Your Majesty, there is some truth in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words. However, the Kingdom of Persia is now under siege by the Chinese Empire. All along, the Chinese Empire was also infiltrating the Persian Kingdom, but they were not able to succeed because of the obstruction of the British. Now, after the end of the war, the Chinese Empire was able to free up its hands to re-invade the Persian kingdom. I am afraid that the Kingdom of Persia will soon fall into the hands of the Chinese! "Foreign Secretary Albrech. Feng. Count Ron said with a frown.

"Hmmm! Makes sense. However, since the Chinese also have intentions for the Persian Kingdom, are we still unable to extract oil from the Persian Kingdom? The Chinese will never allow us to exploit oil there. William I said.

"Your Majesty, although the Chinese invaded the Persian Kingdom again, they were fiercely opposed by the Persian Kingdom. King Nasser of the Kingdom of Persia. Fourth. The Shah, as well as tens of millions of people in the Kingdom of Persia, did not want to be enslaved by the Chinese Empire. The German Empire, as the largest power in the world after the Chinese Empire, has every obligation to help the Kingdom of Persia resist the invasion of the Chinese Empire. "Frederick. Crown Prince William said.

Everyone present was silent, Frederick. They all knew what Crown Prince William meant, that is, to support the Persian Kingdom and rebel against the Chinese Empire, in exchange for the qualification to exploit oil in the Persian Kingdom. The Persian kingdom is now almost completely surrounded by the power of the Chinese Empire, and it is almost impossible for the Persian kingdom to succeed in defeating the Chinese empire without the help of other countries. However, with the help of other countries, it may not be the same.

Similarly, the German Empire was able to qualify for oil extraction from the Kingdom of Persia. If oil could be found in the Kingdom of Persia, the crisis facing Germany would undoubtedly be resolved. Of course, there is also a great risk that it will fall out with the Chinese Empire, or even break out into conflict.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's construction is very good, we can give it a try. However, in order to avoid tearing up the face with the Chinese Empire, we must be fully prepared. Once the Chinese Empire officially invades the Persian Kingdom, even if we provide support to the Chinese Empire, we will definitely not be able to go to war with the Chinese Empire because of this! "Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck said.

William I nodded, for the sake of oil, he also made up his mind. (To be continued......)
