Changning, the capital of the Yan Kingdom, was originally Tsaritsyn. Now this is Liu Pan's country, and the palace is almost built. The influx of immigrants and officials large and small for more than a year has given new life to the war-torn city, which is now home to 200,000 people, 80 percent of whom are Chinese.

In the press conference hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Yanguo, there was a surging crowd, and two or three hundred people were squeezed in the hall of 1,000 square meters, all of whom were Chinese and foreign journalists!

Yan is one of the two youngest countries in the world, and the geographical location of Yan is not comparable to that of Zhao, so Chinese and foreign media have set up news stations in Changning to pay attention to every change in Yan Kingdom.

In this city, there will be one of the most fierce civilizations between the East and the West, and this will be a place that combines East and West more than Singapore and Hong Kong. Every moment of every day, there are hidden mysteries happening. The collision of civilizations is not a complete result of erecting Chinese characters on the streets and alleys, people's language, food habits, entertainment habits, and folk festivals are more important.

"Yo, isn't this a reporter from Wenda? Do you know what's going on today? ”

"Brother Liu, I'm also wondering, I called last night and said that there was important news, but I didn't know after asking around."

"What about the foreigners?"

"I won't know. This Yan country is backed by a big tree to enjoy the shade, but it is not a pre-Qing without a lower limit. Everything respects foreigners. See that over there? The palace director was surrounded, and even he didn't know what was going on today. ”

"Director Gong doesn't know? He's the head of the Information Agency. This is really evil! ”

As soon as the press conference hall opened, it was crowded with reporters. They all came in a hurry because of the phone call they received last night, or early this morning. No one had received the news any earlier. Many people are also talking to each other while they are preparing, because they are a group of business reporters with great powers until now. No one asked why the Ministry of Foreign Affairs suddenly announced a press conference.

Of course, the media at the end of the 19th century was not as developed as it was a hundred years later, but Changning had its own peculiarities. It is the focus of Chinese and foreign media. After the news came out. By 9 a.m., all the media that should know were aware. So much so that some local media in Pyeongchang [Saratov] and Hekou [Astrakhan] took the train overnight and rushed to Changning.

The more mysterious something is, the more attention it gets, and the deliberate blocking of news whets all appetites. So when Tang Shaoyi, the foreign minister of Yan State, steadily walked into the podium of the hall, hundreds of people in the hall were instantly detonated, and the shutter sound was full of clicks in the piercing flash. Fortunately, Tang Shaoyi has undergone a lot of exercise, and was not frightened by this battle, and raised his hand to let the reporters calm down for a while, and then said with a smile: "I'll be blind if I shoot me." My photos are definitely not worth your film money, so let me introduce today's VIP."

Tang Shaoyi raised his hand and pointed to Edgars, who walked in through the side door. Steinmeier: "German envoy, Mr. Steinmeier. ”

German envoy?!

The noise in the hall not only did not decrease, but increased in an instant. Everyone knows that Germany is China's staunchest ally in Europa. Since the rise of China, Sino-German relations have been getting closer and closer.

Even if China takes down the behemoth of Russia and enjoys most of the benefits. It also left a very delicious piece of flesh and blood for the Second German Reich. By the way, they also ceded their interests in South Africa! The Germans took the opportunity of selling arms and materials to make a fortune -- no one can be jealous of this, Germany is the largest industrial power in Europe, and this money cannot be swallowed by Britain and France if they want to. -- By the way, he also swallowed two pieces of fat meat in the Chinese's bowl. Whether it is the Rand gold mine in South Africa, or Poland, the three Baltic countries. All of them made Britain and France jealous and red-eyed. What did they get for spending so much and spending so much? Not a single piece of land either. The United States has been in retreat for decades. It's just out of the customs, and I haven't had time to fight the world yet. China's big stick was struck down. Britain and France suffered huge losses, but they did not earn a penny. The Americans also have large sums of gold and silver in their hands. Until the end, they will not give it to Britain and France. Billions of arrears are only on the books.

Therefore, the war launched by China is not so much that China eats all, but that China and Germany are win-win, and Germany is the other winner.

Even in just two short years, Germany's domestic industrial manufacturing power has expanded considerably because of the 'demand' of Russia and the United States. The most important thing is that they have not completely lost the Chinese market, and there are no American goods in the world to compete with German goods for the market.

Germany's current industrial strength is definitely far greater than that of the Second German Reich in the same period of history in the original time and space. However, the power of Britain and France was weakened to a limited extent.

Anyway, although Europe is still united under the banner of the 'Yellow Peril Theory' at this moment, the contradictions between Germany and Austria and Britain and France have not been alleviated in the slightest. After the end of the North American War, China will recuperate and digest its own results as soon as possible. If Germany wants to compete with Britain and France for hegemony in Europe, and the world space outside East Asia and North America, these two major military blocs will sooner or later be in tension. I just don't know if Britain and France will continue to work with Germany and Austria in such an external environment as a huge threat from China?

Liu Xian can't say for sure. At present, the world has developed, and the history he knows has helped China less and less.

The rhetoric of China and Germany dividing up the world was born and circulated in Europe as early as last year, and although it is very absurd, it has to be guarded against for some countries. China's explosive rise is a backlash from the failure of European countries to control the East well, but if such a military power rises within the Western powers, what position will Britain and France have in the future?

The appetite of the reporters was even higher, and China and Germany really got together, and they turned their cameras to the mysterious German envoy.

In the face of so many reporters at the moment, Steinmeier put a proper smile on his face. Days on end of negotiations drained all his energy. What's even more frustrating is that in the face of an opponent with rich hole cards, he seems so incompetent at the negotiating table, and he can hold on to it until now is completely gritted his teeth in support.

Fortunately, my persistence paid off. After discussions, Berlin finally approved the idea of a Sino-German economic circle. Steinmeier took a deep breath, took out the manuscript that had been prepared from his pocket, and read it in front of the reporters: "Germany and China are both world powers, and for the sake of world peace, the two countries should contribute their own strength, safeguard world peace and the territorial sovereignty of other countries on the basis of a kind of peace, never forcibly annex other nations, never extort compensation money, every nation, regardless of size or history, should enjoy a life of free cooking, and no regime should impose everything on the heads of other countries or nations." ……”

"Therefore, I have come to Changning today to recognize all the conditions attached to the Sino-German Treaty of Peace and Friendship on behalf of the Second German Reich and the entire German people. Strengthen communication between China and Germany, guide neighboring countries to trade freely, and jointly move towards prosperity and a better tomorrow. Abolish all unequal privileges between countries, renounce consular jurisdiction and concessions, and renounce one-sided most-favored-nation treatment,...... All trading posts of German merchants in Northeast Europe and China shall be abandoned, and no German official or priest shall henceforth interfere in the affairs of other countries, and shall be tried by the local courts in accordance with the law if he commits any wrongful acts......"

"The German government is ready to hold talks on bilateral diplomatic relations with Ukraine, Belarus, Finland, Poland, Lithuania and other countries, and hopes to restore bilateral trade freedom as soon as possible, conclude friendly peace treaties between countries, and withdraw troops from each other's borders, so that the people of all countries can enjoy the beautiful ...... of peace."

After Steinmeier's short speech was read, the whole hall boiled like an explosion! Almost everyone's eyes widened in surprise, as if they couldn't believe what they were hearing. It wasn't until a few minutes later that the Chinese reporters took the lead in high-fives, and everyone was very excited. The Germans insisted on fighting with open fire to express their recognition of the benefits that China had gained through the war. It was a resounding slap in the face to Britain and France. He also stepped heavily on the ruins of collapsed Tsarist Russia. In the future, if no accidents happen, even if Russia's strength returns to the level of world powers, it will be difficult to regain Poland, Ukraine and other countries. Although Russia has long since declined, and it can only be said that it is an unrealistic dream to restore Tsarist Russia, this recognition from a European power is undoubtedly a joy for all people.

On the other side, the European press corps was not so happy. Both Britain, France, and Italy were surprised by the sudden closeness between China and Germany, and hated what Germany could almost call a betrayal. The whole world knows that the Sino-US negotiations have reached a critical moment, China insists on not spitting out anything that eats into its mouth to Britain, France and the United States, and wants to obtain huge compensation and cut Alaska from the United States, but the Germans signed a peace and friendship treaty with China here, openly giving the Chinese a platform. Britain and France hated Wilhelm II from the bottom of their hearts at this moment!

"The German Emperor crippled not only his left arm, but also his brain!"

In the afternoon of the same day, major newspapers in Britain and France launched special issues one after another, and the French newspapers even directly put the word "brain-dead" on the head of Wilhelm II.

But the German entrepreneurs and capitalists are laughing, they are proud, they are proud. His Majesty the Emperor knocked on the market of the entire Northeast Europe with his own promises. From this day on, German goods will be able to be sent to Ukraine, Belarus, Finland and Lithuania as unhindered as Chinese goods, all the land that has been cut from the Russians. It is even possible to eliminate Central Asia and poor party Russia through Chinese channels and sell them to Yanzhao, the two newest countries in the world!
