"Secret agreement? That's a great idea! Your Majesty, Emperor of China, I have to admit that you are very wise. If China and Germany sign a secret agreement, then we are the most loyal allies, and our two countries will fight for common interests. And those damned British, French, and even Americans and Russians, they won't know this at all! Kaiser Wilhelm II laughed. He suddenly felt that the problems that had been bothering him for the past two days had been solved so easily. The signing of a secret agreement between China and Germany would mean that the two countries would be truly united, and that there would be no need to worry about China threatening Germany's position among the Allies. For this mentions, Kaiser Wilhelm II will naturally support it unconditionally.

"Your Majesty, I firmly believe that this is very beneficial for both of our countries!" Wang Yuze said with a smile. Signing a secret agreement with Germany can not only make Germany believe that China will not fall to the Entente, but also enable the Allies led by Germany to confront the Entente wholeheartedly, so that most of the strength of Britain and France can be contained, and China can concentrate all its efforts to kill the United States first.

"His Majesty the Emperor of China, although China is reluctant to join the Central Powers, which is very regrettable. However, I admit that it is in our interest that the signing of a secret agreement between China and Germany is very much in our interest! Kaiser Wilhelm II said.

"His Majesty the Kaiser, the Central Powers, under the dominance of Germany, are developing very well, and China has no intention of joining them. But. His Majesty the Kaiser, I have to remind you that, according to the information obtained by my people, the position of Italy, may not be very firm. They and the British, it seems, there are some eyebrows! Of course, this is just my personal opinion! Wang Yuze said with a smile.

Kaiser Wilhelm II frowned, but nodded anyway. Although, he doesn't like Wang Yuze's slander against others behind his back. In particular, it was the behavior of Germany's allies. However, he knew that Wang Yuze would not do it for no reason. Perhaps, these Italians are really making some small moves behind their backs. If that's really the case. These damned Italians, they have to pay a heavy price.

"His Majesty, Emperor of China, thank you for the reminder, I will let people pay attention. If these Italians are really capricious villains, I will definitely make them pay! Kaiser Wilhelm II said coldly. Even though Italy joined the Central Powers and signed the Treaty of Alliance. But as long as the Entente side offered enough benefits to make Italy rebel, it would not be too much of a problem.

Wang Yuze nodded and didn't say anything. After all. On this issue, he can only mention it briefly. If he gets too entangled in this issue, it will inevitably make Wilhelm II wonder if Wang Yuze has any other thoughts. For example, to sow discord between Germany and the rest of the Allies, and then to replace them, and so on.

"His Majesty the Emperor of China. In my opinion, let's now discuss the relevant provisions of the secret agreement! Sign a secret agreement earlier. Both of us can rest assured! Kaiser Wilhelm II said. After the establishment of the Quadruple Entente, it put tremendous pressure on Germany. If a secret agreement can be signed with China in time, then Germany will have nothing to fear.

"Of course, as you wish!" Wang Yuze said with a smile.

Soon, Wang Yuze and Kaiser Wilhelm II left the German Royal Horse Farm and came to Sanssouci Palace. In a secret room of Sanssouci Palace, the Chinese Emperor Wang Yuze, Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang, and Defense Minister Jiang Xingguo, representing the Chinese side, Kaiser Wilhelm II, representing the German side, German Chancellor Hohenloy, Chillingsffist, Chief of the German General Staff, Count Alfred von Schlieffen, and Admiralty Minister Alfred von Tirpitz, sat on either side of a long table and discussed the relevant terms of the secret agreement.

Although the two countries are relatively close, in the course of the discussions, both sides have launched red-faced arguments for the sake of their own interests. In particular, once a war breaks out, there are even more big differences between the two sides on the combat missions they undertake. The German side insisted that once the war broke out, China would attack Britain and France, and unite with Germany to destroy Russia as soon as possible, so as to open up the land connection between China and Germany, so that China could give Germany a blood transfusion and Germany could hold out in the war. Otherwise, once war broke out and the sea lines of communication were blocked, Germany would be in a very difficult situation. However, it would be in China's interest to turn the war into a brutal and protracted war. What China needs is to defeat the enemy at the cost of weakness, not to fight with all its national strength. In that case, even if the war is won in the end, China will pay a huge price. The Chinese insisted that in the event of war, Germany and the rest of the Central Powers would fight in Europe and in Britain and France. And China will concentrate all its efforts to destroy the United States first and take out the most powerful industrial country among the Entente countries. Then march on Europe and defeat Britain and France. It's just that in this way, Germany will hold out in this war for a long time, and if the war does not go well, Germany's national strength will be greatly affected.

The two sides are arguing endlessly on this issue. Negotiations continued from the afternoon into the evening, but still inconclusively.

Wang Yuze and Wilhelm II thought about it for a while, and had to propose to suspend the negotiations, and after everyone went back to rest for a night, the negotiations continued the next day. However, because of the existence of this fundamental disagreement, it is very difficult for the two sides to reach an agreement.

That night, Kaiser Wilhelm II was in his office at Sanssouci Palace and was still brightly lit until the early hours of the morning.

"Father, the Chinese want us to fight hard with Britain and France, but they are picking up the cheap behind their backs to occupy the rich Americas and India, we must not agree to their rude demands!" Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm said hatefully. He was not qualified to participate in the afternoon talks, but when he heard about the contents of the talks, he was also very angry.

Wilhelm II frowned, as if considering the words of Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm. India, one of the most important of the British colonies, is on the lips of China. Once war breaks out, China will definitely send troops to India, and no country in the world can stop China's occupation of India. As for the United States, China values the United States so much that Wilhelm II feels that it is too much of a fuss. In his opinion, among the Entente powers, Britain and France were the most powerful, and the United States was just a dispensable supporting role. Therefore, China demanded the elimination of the United States first, which, in the opinion of Wilhelm II, China had the intention of using Britain and France to consume Germany's national power.

"Your Majesty, the Chinese are very resolute in this regard. If we can't agree on this article, it will be very difficult to conclude a secret agreement between us and China! Prime Minister Hornlohe Hillings Pfister reminded. His point is very clear: on this issue, there must be a concession between China and Germany.

"What is the strength of the United States? Will it really cause us huge trouble, as the Chinese say? Wilhelm II asked.

"At this point, I do think that the Chinese's worries are not unnecessary. Last year, the United States was already the world's largest industrial output. They have a strong industrial power, as well as a large population, and can explode with terrifying war potential. Moreover, after joining the Entente, the United States will certainly receive strong technical support from the British side. In this case, the war potential that the United States can bring into play will be very terrifying. "said the Chief of the General Staff of the German Army, Count Alfred von Schlieffen.

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, the U.S. Navy is also developing very rapidly. In addition to the five old battleships that have just been commissioned, they have six new battleships under construction, and more than six new battleships are being designed. From this aspect, it can also be seen that the strength of the United States is not as simple as we think! "said the Secretary of the Navy Alfred von Tirpitz.

"So, we agree to the Chinese's terms? Let them concentrate their forces on the destruction of the United States first? Wilhelm II asked.

"Your Majesty, I think so. However, China must be allowed to agree that after the destruction of the United States, Germany must have a share in the interests of the Americas. Moreover, there must be a time limit for the Chinese to attack the United States. After this time, the Chinese concentrated their main forces to attack Britain and France! Prime Minister Hornlohe Chillings Pfisty said.

"Very well, so let's decide! However, I would prefer to see that even without the help of the Chinese, Germany can defeat Britain and France independently! Wilhelm II said expectantly. In fact, that's what he's really aiming for.

The rest of the German ministers burst into laughter. However, no one takes this seriously. Germany's single-handedness to defeat Britain and France is, at least for now, somewhat unrealistic.

At the end of the discussion, Kaiser Wilhelm II replied to the palace that Empress Augusta Vertoria had not yet fallen asleep and was still waiting for him.

"Your Majesty, no matter how important the state affairs are, you must take care of your health!" Queen Augusta Vertoria said with concern.

"Yes, I know. However, for the sake of Germany's future, we have to work hard! Kaiser Wilhelm II lamented.

"By the way, Empress, what do you say is the best way to strengthen relations between Germany and China?" Wilhelm II asked.

"Strengthening relations with China? We can make covenants. Marriage is also possible! Queen Augusta Vertoria said.
