The news of the conclusion of the treaty between China and France and its release to the outside world was like a shockwave of shock, and even compared the flames of war in Germany. Chen Jintang in the presidential palace in the capital said: "The Gallic rooster will actually come to this hand, it seems that our expeditionary intentions have been exposed." "President, the Sino-French treaty has been announced to the outside world, and the United States and Britain will definitely be able to analyze the subtleties, and our concealment will be greatly reduced. Has our current strategic plan been developed, has it changed? "Why do you want to change it?" Deng Zixuan shook his head and continued.

"When China and France concluded a treaty, the Russians were the first to stand up and scold the French for being treacherous, and the British cursed the French for treachery. The Americans condemned it painlessly, and it was obvious that the United States had guessed the changes in France, and perhaps after the war broke out in Germany, the Americans would think that the French would be desperate to protect themselves in the face of a great threat. To my surprise, the Germans were silent. In this regard, I am sure that the Germans completely guessed our intentions. ”

"As for the exposure of the expeditionary combat intent, there is no need to worry. Our aircraft carriers, like German tanks, will have the same effect. I suspect that the Americans will definitely strengthen the defense of the Hawaiian group, and that may be the case, and perhaps we will have greater success in the Hawaiian Islands. The Americans knew that our attack on the Hawaiian Islands would not stop us from conquest. German tanks are introduced. The Americans certainly saw the power of this, and as for whether the Americans could develop a tank fighting vehicle, I have no doubt about this. But if the Americans want to develop a tank with the same performance as ours, it will take at least 5 years, and can we give the time to the Americans? Chen Jintang and Pei Gejin smiled at each other when they heard this.

In the Imperial Palace in Berlin, Germany, Kaiser Wilhelm's face was gloomy and a little depressed. Prime Minister Bismarck said: "Your Majesty. Don't worry, since France has become a military protectorate of the Chinese Empire, why don't we go with the flow. A radical change in the strategy towards France and unloading the baggage and traveling lightly, perhaps we can reap greater benefits. "Kaiser Wilhelm was a little confused. Bismarck continued: "Perhaps the Chinese are suggesting that France will no longer have the capital to expand in the future, which means that our expansion in southern Europe, eastern Europe, and northern Europe will be smoother." Although the Chinese did not say it explicitly, probably this is their intention. There are some things that we need to be aware of, and people will not say them explicitly. ”

The Kaiser nodded and said, "Your analysis is reasonable, I am afraid that the French will have to pay a certain price for such submission." Otherwise, the Chinese Empire is trying to do that. "Your Majesty, it is estimated that the war indemnity and the ransom for prisoners of war are astronomical, and the Chinese Empire will not sell them for money. France was included in the military protection of the Chinese Empire. His armaments will be greatly reduced, and the French will abandon their martial arts, and we are still worried about that, and it will be easier to plot against Western Europe in the future. ”

The gloom on the emperor's face disappeared and he smiled: "The Chinese Empire has Deng Zixuan, and Germany has Bismarck. You are a gift from God. What is the progress of the ministries? "Your Majesty. The northern front has reached the Baltic Sea, and the northeastern part of our armored division has entered Lithuania and Belarus. In the east, the first part of our army has entered Ukraine. In the south, with the withdrawal of Austro-Hungarian troops, our division followed. So far, Poland's traditional territory has been largely restored. ”

"The strategic goal was originally expected to be achieved in two months, but now it is a month ahead of schedule. The High Command has ordered a temporary cessation of all military operations. "Great, the Imperial Lion can move south in advance." The Kaiser was overjoyed. Bismarck pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I have carefully studied the history of the conquests of the Chinese Empire, and they have done it too skillfully. On the one hand, conquest and war on the other hand developed economic and military armaments, and the war did not drag down China's economy. On the contrary, they are getting stronger and stronger. The Chinese Empire is astonishing, it has created the miracle of the world's wars. ”

The Kaiser was thoughtful. "The Chinese have a long-term plan. And it's steady, coherent. In order not to cripple our economy, I propose that the military plan to enter southern Europe, which was originally scheduled for the end of the year, be postponed to the middle of next year. By the middle of next year, we will have three armored divisions, and by that time, our armored assault will be stronger and the duration of the war will be greatly shortened. In addition, I propose the speedy restoration of the Polish government, the speedy signing of a treaty of friendship between Germany and Poland, and the endeavor to formally incorporate the former occupied territories into German territory. ”

Germany nodded and said: "Your suggestion is good, we will have a meeting to discuss it, for the long-term interests of the German Empire, we can slowly try to figure it out." "Your Majesty, war is about logistics, and when we occupy one area, we have to consolidate one piece. The Austro-Hungarian Empire was scattered, and after the military occupation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it vigorously advocated the independent establishment of various nationalities, which won great support. We must emulate the Chinese Empire, where military control is not the goal, economic control is the long-term solution. "The plan of Germany's iron-blooded Prime Minister Bismarck laid a solid foundation for Germany to control the whole of Europe.

In the Imperial Palace in Petersburg, the ministers were collectively speechless in the face of the Tsar. Originally, the Eastern Front had been halted for two years, giving the scorched Russian economy a certain respite. With the massive assistance of the Western world, Russia's industrialization has been greatly improved, and the domestic situation has improved. However, the rapid rise of Germany, especially the German initiative to provoke the war, the Battle of the Haag River, the German army actually appeared fierce tanks and combat vehicles. German tanks and fighting vehicles plunged Russia into a panic.

"You don't say anything about it, even if the enemy forces are temporarily unable to launch a large-scale attack on us, who can guarantee that they will not attack in the future. As the size of the German armored forces grew, danger arose. Tell me, how can you stop the chariot of terror? "The Tsar was a little angry. After a long time, an officer about 40 years old stood up and said: "Your Majesty, after our preliminary analysis, the German tank and combat vehicles weigh 20 tons, which is very cumbersome. We can dig trenches on the front line and block the assault of tanks. Once a tank tank is trapped, we can destroy it with explosives. ”

The Russian Tsar's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "How sure are you?" "After our analysis and judgment, it is estimated that there are 6 points of certainty, but it must be tested in actual combat." "What's your name, position, rank." "Your Majesty, the lowly name is Chekov, and he is a staff officer of the lieutenant colonel of the General Command." The Tsar muttered for a moment and said: "At present, we cannot mobilize a single soldier on the Eastern Front, and in the face of the threat of the Germans, we must defend with all our might. Now I order you to be the deputy commander of the defense of the Western Front and go all out against the tanks of the German army. "Humble duty will never disappoint Your Majesty's high expectations!" Chekov replied with a chest held up.

Inside the White House in Washington, USA. President Cleveland and the Military Command, including weapons experts, gathered here to discuss the emergence of German tanks and combat vehicles and the rise to fame in World War I. President Cleveland said: "The Battle of the Haag River has fully tested the power of the chariot. Fast assault capabilities of tank fighting vehicles. Remarkable. According to the analysis of the intelligence department, before, the German weapons department did not have a tank plan at all, and it is very telling that we know nothing, and the appearance of tanks in Germany almost overnight, what does this mean? ”

"Gentlemen, it is easy for us to get information on the Germans. But it is more difficult for us to get Chinese intelligence than to ascend to the sky. We don't know anything about the birth of the Chinese Navy. In view of China's advanced military scientific research and manufacturing capabilities, we analyze and judge. Tank fighting vehicle skills are provided by the Chinese. "No one in this room doubts this judgment. President Cleveland motioned to an arms expert to explain the performance and data analysis of German tanks.

A guy with eyes and about 50 years old stood up and said: "Our agents took photos of German tanks, and after analysis, the German tanks weighed about 20 tons. Other data and performance are not available. But one thing is important. The 20-ton iron guy must have a high-horsepower internal combustion engine to bear the load and special tracks, otherwise it will not be able to meet the tank's freedom of walking and long-distance travel. At present, our internal combustion engine technology can only meet the needs of automobiles. ”

The weapons expert continued: "After analysis, the high-horsepower internal combustion engine must not only meet the load, but also meet the needs of continuous combat. The internal combustion engine is the heart of the tank, and the track is the shoe of the tank, and the track is also an important part of ensuring the continuous operation of the tank. Although we now have a full-fledged car engine and tractor technology. But there is no comparison between the two. If we can get technical information on the internal combustion engine and track of the tank, we will not have any problems with the manufacturing technology. It takes time to develop a high-horsepower internal combustion engine. It will take 3 years at the earliest. ”

Everyone was a little discouraged when they heard this, and President Cleveland continued: "The analysis of weapons experts can prove that Germany's tank technology is provided by the Chinese." However, there is no trace of tanks on the Chinese side. What a terrible thing this is, gentlemen. Once the Chinese army landed on the American continent, their tank divisions would be invincible. But only if the Chinese Navy breaks through the maritime defenses. In order to strengthen the defense of the sea, the Hawaiian Islands will increase the number of warships. ”

Cleveland continued: "At present, our manufacturing technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, especially the successful solution of metal welding technology by scientists, the speed of the warships we build has been greatly accelerated, and the manufacturing cycle of industrial products has increased by more than ten times, and we can use numbers to resist the attack of the Chinese army." This was undoubtedly good news, and everyone smiled. Everyone began to talk about it, and the atmosphere suddenly became warm.

President Cleveland took a few sips of coffee and continued, "We have to make the tank appear on American soil, using the current technology of the internal combustion engine, and we must also have the tank tank to improve our morale." The internal combustion engine and tracks of the tank, we can slowly modify and improve, but we must let the tank combat vehicle appear in the United States. All of you here are weapons experts, and I need you to come up with a plan as soon as possible. After the crowd dispersed, Secretary of State William walked in.

"Mr. William, the French actually threw themselves into the arms of the Chinese, it is simply stupid, and the face of the free world has made them lose everything. The fact that the French were dazzled by the signing of a treaty with the Chinese Empire shows that Germany had privately reached an agreement with the Chinese Empire, otherwise how could Germany be so bold. The situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for us, and it seems that the Chinese are going to do it. William smiled bitterly and said, "Your Excellency, the situation we feared the most has arisen. Now that Russia is pinned down by Germany, the Chinese Empire can deal with us without any scruples. ”

A hint of gloom appeared on the faces of the two of them, and in the face of the upcoming war, their hearts were a little heavy, and they became more and more worried about the future of the United States. Cleveland said firmly: "Now our only hope is to stop the Chinese on the ocean, once they set foot on the land of the American continent, the consequences are unimaginable." William sighed and said, "Thinking now, why bother in the first place, we may be sinners in America!" (To be continued......)
