British Minister Zhu Erdian is an old problem, this person has been hostile to the Nationalist Government since the Xinhai Revolution, except when the Nationalist Government sent an expeditionary force to help them fight the Germans, Zhu Erdian has always pursued the diplomatic idea is to support Japan to suppress China, in history China suffered from Japanese aggression, in addition to its own rulers do not fight for their own social system is extremely corrupt and backward, the biggest factor is the dog raising policy that has been pursued since the time of Zhu Erdian, It was only when the British suddenly discovered that the Japanese were no longer dogs, but were raised by them to eat people, and they regretted it.

Relying on the British to run the navy, Wang Zhenyu involuntarily shook his head in his heart, history has ruthlessly proved that on the issue of the navy, the Germans and Americans are definitely much more reliable than the British.

Yang Yongtai's vision of international strategy is much stronger than that of Yang Du, an expert in imperial psychology, and his speech is very constructive: "Dashuai, I think that your plan should be divided into two points, the first is to profit from the civil war in Tsarist Russia, which requires us to increase investment in the construction of the frontier; The second is to achieve national unification by defeating Japan, which requires us to have sufficient military strength to achieve this goal. The premise for achieving all this is to have money, which means that the real key lies in the fact that we must seize the time to complete political and economic reforms in the two years of the seventh and eighth years of the Republic of China, so as to lay a foundation for military and diplomatic struggles. As for the specific method, I have some premature ideas: on the one hand, we should continue to paralyze Britain and France and make them not support Japan; On the other hand, we should work the construction of new villages, realize the improvement of the rural social structure through the economic foundation of financial transfer payments, and at the same time take this opportunity to build up the grassroots political power at the county level...... Personally, I believe that the method of sending work teams to lead the reform in the past may not be effective, and the most effective way is to induce them economically, and finally complete the rural reform and promote the progress of the whole society through a series of methods such as attracting labor into the cities. In addition, industrialization should be further strengthened, and although I don't understand military affairs, I am convinced that I will be able to defeat Japan if I look at Europe......

Just when Wang Zhenyu was discussing how to better inherit the legacy of Tsarist Russia, in Europe, the First World War had come to an end. What is certain is that because of the butterfly effect, even if there is no outbreak of large-scale influenza, this war is coming to an end. Due to the extraordinary performance of the expeditionary forces of China and the United States, the German army, which had been pressing Britain and France, could not support it, and in the war in 1917, the entire Allied army lost more than 1.6 million, of which the German army reached more than 700,000. The battle line even entered the vicinity of the Ruhr industrial area and Bavaria, which was a huge blow to Germany, and more seriously, the German crown prince also became a prisoner of the Allied army, which really achieved one thing in morale.

And after the Chinese New Year of 1918, the Second German Reich found itself powerless to launch a new counterattack. And the Entente developed a plan of 2.4 million men to attack on all fronts, and the war was about to end. At this time, different ideas began to appear, and the British thought about how to restore order in the world as soon as possible and repair the great wounds caused by the war; The French were thinking about how to celebrate the great victory of the Third Republic with a military parade in Berlin, and the Americans were thinking about how to take their rightful place in the future world order after standing on the side of the victors of Britain and France...... In short, everyone has their own ideas.

In fact, at the end of November 1917, after the defeat of 1917, Wilhelm II of Germany was already seeking peace, he appointed Prince Baden as the new Imperial Prime Minister, and launched peace negotiations through the United States and the Allies, but because the Allies were asking too high, Wilhelm II was unable to make up his mind to make an armistice.

By February 14, 1918, Wilhelm II had lost the possibility of changing everything, and the Kiel Sailors Uprising broke out, eight months earlier than in history. However, unlike in history, these sailors refused to send their warships out to fight the British, this time they refused to be reorganized into an army to send them to their deaths, and Wilhelm II searched for troops for the final hammer of the 2.4 million of the Entente, which eventually led to a revolution.

For the performance of the German Navy in World War I, later historians summarized it very thoroughly, that is, after Lang spent a lot of money, he made an attack in 1916, which resulted in Germany losing control of the sea, and then basking in the sun in the harbor until launching an uprising to defeat Germany completely, mud mother, are you sure that these grandsons are the German navy? No matter how you look at it, it looks like the performance of the Chinese men's football team, phew, I'm sorry, they can't represent China, at best, they are the men's football team of the Chinese non-fan football association.

The situation in the German revolution turned out much faster than expected, and on 14 February, the sailors and workers of the uprising disarmed the reactionary officers and occupied important positions such as the railway station. The soldiers who had been ordered to come to suppress them also went over to the side of the insurgents. By the evening of the 14th, the whole of Kiel was in the hands of the newly formed Soviets. The Kiel uprising shook the ruling authorities. Max, Scheadman and others signed an appeal asking the sailors not to start a civil war. At the same time, Knors, a member of parliament and a Socialist, was sent to Kiel to restore order. Nosk later admitted that he had gone to Kiel to use his relationship with the Navy to calm the incident. However, he "no longer encountered strikers, but 30,000 rebels." Seeing that it was no longer possible to stop the uprising, Nosk instead agreed to part of the demands of the sailors, promising to improve supplies, thus gaining the confidence of the sailors, and was elected chairman of the Kiel Sailors Soviet. The Kiel uprising became the beginning of the German Revolution. The tide of uprisings spread rapidly from north to south. Hamburg, Leipzig, Munich and other cities won revolutionary victories one after another. The monarchs and princes of the states were ousted from their thrones. By 18 February, Berlin was the only one left in the big cities still in the hands of the reactionary government.

In the face of the chaos, Prince Baden decisively appointed Albert as Chancellor of the German government. Albert also immediately proposed the abdication of the Kaiser, ending the war and welcoming back the crown prince to succeed him, and changing the state to a constitutional monarchy. However, this was opposed by the Spartak regiment led by Liebknecht, and in fact the Germans, who had the utmost patience, had reached a point of extreme disgust with the rule of the Junker aristocracy. In the context of the vigorous development of the revolutionary situation, the Central Council of the Independent Socialist Party decided on February 18 to hold an armed uprising the next day. On the morning of the 19th, a call to the uprising was distributed to all factories. Hundreds of thousands of workers flocked to the center of Berlin under red flags. Liebknecht led the people to seize the palace. William? Peake led his men to attack the municipal building. Esher Horn, an Independent Socialist, led people to occupy the police station. The insurgents met little resistance and by noon they had taken control of all of Berlin.

The streets of Berlin, Germany, are full of commotion, and from time to time cars full of insurrectionary soldiers pass by on the road, but they don't know where they are going to arrest whom! A young Oriental face who looked to be only twenty years old unconsciously pulled the collar of his trench coat and walked briskly across the street back to his apartment.

This young man's name is Yu Dawei, born in 1897, a native of Changsha, Hunan, grew up in Hunan, his father's ancestral home is Zhejiang, and his mother is the granddaughter of Zeng Guofan. This is a typical official eunuch, and his current identity is a Chinese student at the University of Berlin in Germany, studying chemistry and military industry. Since China declared war on Germany, the Chinese have not had a good time in Germany, but fortunately, Wilhelm II is different from the later great demon king Hitler, he did not order the abuse and expulsion of the Chinese, after all, his biggest enemy is still his cousin in the strict sense, so Germany during the First World War basically adhered to the tradition of aristocratic war.

Yu Dawei has been in Germany for four years and is about to graduate and return to China, but the Overseas Student Department of the Youth League of the International Student Association, where he belongs, has given him a secret mission to accompany and receive Wang Chonghui, deputy director of the Nationalist Government's diplomatic office in Europe.

As an aside, Yu Dawei, who was originally from Changsha, Hunan, was one of the last batch of students to study in Germany sponsored by the local government of Hunan and Guizhou before the outbreak of the European War, and joined the Youth League of the Kuomintang at that time.

And coincidentally, the Wang Chonghui he is going to receive this time is his teacher when he was in China, and I believe that this time the task should be completed very well.

Wang Chonghui (1881-1958) is a bright domain. A native of Dongguan, Guangdong. He was a famous jurist, politician and diplomat during the Republic of China. As a jurist, he is the author of "Constitutional Commentary", "Constitutional Alarm", "Comparative Constitution", etc. He was the first to translate the German Civil Code into English, and his translation was recognized as the best English translation until the 70s of the 20th century, and was used as a textbook in many American universities. As a politician, he held a high position in Chinese politics until 1949, no matter who was in charge. He is a representative of the scholar-type bureaucracy of the National Government. He is proficient in Japanese, German, and English, and has served as Minister of Foreign Affairs, Acting Prime Minister, and Prime Minister of the National Government.

In history, Wang Chonghui should have served in the Beiyang government, and was ridiculed many times in the later period, but now with Wang Zhenyu, a big butterfly, there is no such stain. Wang Chonghui had been serving in the Nationalist Government, and originally planned to be promoted to governor of any province, but it was put on hold because of the assassination, and then Wang Zhenyu put him to the test, and he was sent to Europe to serve as Gu Weijun's deputy. As soon as the German Revolution broke out, he was sent by Gu Weijun to infiltrate Berlin to establish contact with local Chinese students and find out the situation.

"David, the purpose of the teacher's visit this time is very clear, that is, to find out about the situation in Germany, as well as some key technologies and equipment. These things are a blind eye for our diplomats, so we need you to do a preliminary investigation, and then when the domestic experts are in place, our country will get dividends from this war and promote its rise. Wang Chonghui said to Yu Dawei straight to the point.

Yu Dawei felt a trace of pressure and excitement, now the fool knows that the Germans are bound to lose this war, and if China can obtain the equipment and technology that Germany urgently needs, then it will definitely be beneficial to its own development, and now he has the opportunity to participate in such an important matter, it is an honor to think about it. Young Yu Dawei nodded hard at his teacher, and then began to talk about what he had mastered
