Chapter 1352: Tearing the face

On May 25, 1859, Franz. Joseph I proclaimed the establishment of the Austrian Empire's government-in-exile in Huaxia, the capital of the Chinese Empire, with Count Andráhi as prime minister. The Chinese Empire supported the establishment of the Austrian Empire's government-in-exile, and the Imperial Ministry of the Interior established a police station, especially on the site of the office of the government-in-exile, in order to deter those who opposed the Austrian Empire's government-in-exile. Even the Germans could not have risked tearing their faces with the Reich and bowing their eyes to the Reich policemen against the Austrian Reich government-in-exile! Of course, the Germans definitely wanted to bring Franz . Joseph I killed.

Franz. Joseph I declared that the annexation of Austria-Hungary by the German Empire was illegal, and called on all the people of Austria-Hungary to rebel against the German Empire and drive the German Empire from its territory.

And this quickly aroused the dissatisfaction of the German Empire. The German Foreign Office protested to the Chinese Empire, claiming that the actions of the Chinese Empire had damaged relations between the Chinese Empire and the German Empire. They demanded that the Chinese Empire expel the Austrian Emperor Franz. Joseph I, as well as officials and functionaries of the government-in-exile of the Austrian Empire.

However, the protest of the German Foreign Office was not accepted. The Germans did the first year of junior high school, didn't the Chinese Empire be allowed to do the fifteenth? Since they are able to plot a rebellion in China's territory and cause trouble for the Empire. Then, the empire can also retaliate with a tooth for a tooth and fight back against them.

Not to mention the intentions of the Empire, Franz . Joseph I had already understood. During the meeting between Count Andráhi and Imperial Foreign Minister Wei Yuan, Count Andráhi said. They were willing to accept the establishment of the Chinese Empire and change the name of the government-in-exile to the Austrian Imperial government-in-exile.

And the Chinese Empire naturally reciprocated. He provided a lot of help to the establishment of the government-in-exile of the Austrian Empire. And, promised to guarantee the safety of the government-in-exile. After all. The Chinese Empire was confident in guaranteeing the safety of the government-in-exile. If, within the territory of the Chinese Empire, or in the capital of the Chinese Empire, the security of the Austrian Empire's government-in-exile was threatened, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of the Chinese Empire?

The Chinese Empire had already thought out that after the defeat of the Germans, the Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary would be separated, and the Kingdom of Bosnia and the Duchy of Bohemia, as the case may be. If so, then Austria-Hungary would be divided. Even the Austrian Empire was still a great power. But it can't pose a threat to the empire anymore. In this way, the empire will not be threatened.

The establishment of the Austrian Imperial Government-in-exile caused an uproar around the world. The Chinese Empire had suppressed the Japanese rebellion only a few months earlier, and the so-called Emperor of Japan had established the Imperial Japanese Government in Exile in Germany. Subsequently, the Chinese Empire fought back, directly supporting Franz. Joseph I established the Austrian Empire's government-in-exile, which was basically a confrontation between the Chinese Empire and the German Empire!

With Franz. At the call of Joseph I, many nobles and people in the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, who were dissatisfied with the German colonial rule, began to find ways to fight back against the Germans. This led to a riot in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. A lot more. Even the Germans were prepared, but they were still in a hurry. German rule in the Austro-Hungarian Empire led to a crisis of strictness.

"Damn Chinese, damn yellow-skinned monkeys. Are they going to completely tear their faces with the German Empire? "Kaiser Wilhelm I was furious. These actions of the Chinese Empire are completely challenging the bottom line of the German Empire! Of course, the Germans did the same before.

"陛xià. Although the situation in Austria-Hungary is somewhat critical, our army has managed the situation very well. Nothing big should happen! "Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck said. He was afraid that William I, in a fit of rage, would make some impulsive decision.

"Is that the end of it? Otherwise, we'll find a way to kill Franz. Joseph I! That's the case. There is no possibility that the government-in-exile of the Austrian Empire will survive! "Frederick. Crown Prince William said.

"No, we can't do that. Although, there was a constant struggle between us and the Chinese Empire. But how could the German Reich do such a despicable and shameless thing? I'd rather go to war directly against the Chinese Empire than use such means! William I shook his head.

"His Royal Highness, the Chinese have stepped up their grip on Franz. Joseph I protected if at this time we assassinated Franz. The words of Joseph I will undoubtedly further plan the contradictions between our two countries. And this, it is very likely to detonate the war! "Foreign Secretary Albrech. Feng. Earl Ron said. Although the relationship between the German Empire and the Chinese Empire was getting worse and worse, it was not yet to the point of war. Besides, if the war starts now, will the German Reich be able to win? I'm afraid it's going to be a bit of a hassle! So, it's better not to break the rules. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.

William I nodded: "Yes, the political struggle between countries should also pay attention to the rules. There are some basic principles that cannot be abandoned! ”

Frederick. Although Crown Prince William was a little unwilling, he had to give up. After all, it was still William I who had the final say in this empire.

"Your Majesty, the General Staff has received news that the Chinese garrisons in Europe have entered the highest state of combat readiness. Although the Chinese are very secretive, there are still many clues, from which the Chinese's plans can be analyzed. They are ready for battle, and we are not ready. So, if we go to war now, it won't do us any good! "Said the Chief of the General Staff of the German Army, Count Moltke.

The Chinese Empire alone has more than a million troops deployed in Europe alone, which accounts for one-third of the total strength of the Chinese army. In addition, half of the warships of the Chinese Navy are deployed in Europe, which shows the importance that the Chinese Empire attaches to Europe.

"If we go to war now, do we really have no chance of winning?" William I was still a little unwilling. After all, Germany is one of the most powerful countries in the world. Although the Chinese Empire is the largest in the world, in Europe, the Chinese Empire is not as powerful as Germany. If Germany had been able to occupy Europe at the beginning of the war, it would not have had the strength to confront the Chinese Empire.

"Your Majesty, the army may have a chance. However, the Navy is not yet an opponent of the Chinese. Count Moltke said.

"Your Majesty, the 5th Fleet of the Chinese Navy now has four 'Tang-class' battleships and four 'Eastern Han-class' battleships, while the German Navy currently has only four 'Brandenburg-class' battleships, and the next four 'Caesars. The Frederick III-class battleships will not be able to enter service until the second half of the year. Not to mention confrontation with the entire Chinese Navy, the 5th Fleet of the Chinese Navy alone is not something we can confront either! "said the Minister of the Navy, Prince Felix. The battleships of the 5th Fleet of the Chinese Navy alone are twice as large as the German Navy. Not to mention the allies of the Chinese Empire, the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium also possessed no weak strength. If the 5th Fleet of the Chinese Navy joins forces with the Spanish Navy and the Belgian Navy, then the German Navy will have no chance of winning.

What the German Navy could do was to build as many warships as possible and develop its naval strength. By the time the two sides reached a decisive battle, the strength of the German Navy would be no worse than that of the 5th Fleet of the Chinese Navy. With a bit of luck, the German Navy may be able to defeat the 5th Fleet of the Chinese Navy. In this way, Germany will be able to gain an advantage in Europe. Even if the main force of the Chinese Navy's 1st Fleet arrived in Europe, the German Navy would still have the strength to maneuver with the Chinese Navy. Of course, it is very difficult to do this. But the German Navy has no other way, who said that the Chinese Navy was originally stronger than the German Navy, and now the German Navy is building one battleship, and the Chinese Navy is directly building two? Such an investment in the navy of the Chinese Empire made the German Navy both envious and angry, which is simply bullying!

"Damn the Chinese!" William I scolded secretly, and many times he was a little skeptical, whether it was right or wrong to decide to compete with the Chinese Empire for world hegemony. The German Empire had embarked on a point of no return, and in order to win hegemony, Germany had to devote a great deal of national strength to the development of armaments. Otherwise, they may be defeated in future wars. If it fails, the consequences will be unimaginable.

If Germany had not had such ambitions and became a regional power with peace of mind, perhaps it would not be where it is now. However, it is too late to say this. Germany can't stop anymore, and even if Germany stops, the Chinese Empire won't let Germany go. A powerful Germany is undoubtedly a powerful opponent for the world hegemony of the Chinese Empire. Therefore, unless Germany is re-divided into small states, war between the Chinese Empire and Germany is inevitable.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after this incident, the relationship between the empire and China has been completely torn apart. Even if war does not break out now, it will definitely break out in the future. I hope that from now on, the Imperial Army and Navy will be able to further strengthen their strength and win for the Empire in future wars. God will surely bless the German Empire! William I said firmly.

"Yes, Your Majesty! The German Empire will win! Everyone else shouted that this was their goal and their unwavering belief. (To be continued......)
