Crown Prince William shrank his neck, quickly lowered his head, and said nothing more. However, there was a hint of deep resentment in his eyes, not for Kaiser Wilhelm II, but for China! Every time he talked about China, as long as he expressed his opinion, he would be scolded by Wilhelm II, which made him very dissatisfied, and his resentment against China in his heart became bigger and bigger!

"Guys, what do you think we should do now? Do you want to continue to fulfill the covenant with the Chinese and continue the war? After stopping Crown Prince Wilhelm, Wilhelm II asked the German ministers. Germany now seems to be at a crossroads, and no matter which option it is, it cannot be said that it is absolutely advantageous for Germany.

"Your Majesty, the British and the French propose to stop the war with us, and then the whole Western world will unite against China! As long as we withdraw from France and Belgium and Russia, the two sides can sign an armistice. As for our occupied overseas colonies, they can also be returned to us! Both the British and French believe that China is their worst enemy, and at the same time our enemy. The Eastern world wants to rise again and dominate the world, which is a great disaster for us in the Western world and for the white people! Chancellor Holwig said!

"Humph! What did the Anglo-Saxons and Gauls do? If they had opened their markets to us earlier, there would have been no war! Now that I can't win, I want peace talks, how can there be such a cheap thing! Kaiser Wilhelm II said with great displeasure. After the reunification of Germany, the industrial strength developed rapidly, but the German domestic market was narrow, and the overseas market was in the control of the old colonial countries such as Britain and France, in order to compete for more markets, Germany could only use force!

"Your Majesty, the territories of France, Belgium and Russia that Germany now occupies have been seized by the Imperial soldiers with countless lives and blood, and they must not be returned to them like this! Now that the Entente can't hold on, we may be able to defeat them if we work harder! "said the Chief of the General Staff of the German Army, Colonel-General Falkenhayn. Now that the north and north-east of France, and the west and southwest of Belgium and Russia are under the control of Germany and Austria-Hungary, all these territories were to be returned to France, Belgium, and Russia, all the efforts of Germany would be in vain! This is unacceptable for Germany!

"Your Majesty, we have to think about this carefully! Even if we make peace with the Entente, will we be able to defeat the Chinese together? The Chinese now have the world's largest navy, and they can completely block the whole of Europe. In addition, with China's population resources, they can lightly arm more than 20 million jīng sharp troops, which are enough to withstand the attack of the entire Western world! At that time, as long as the Chinese can block us in Europe, we will gradually decline, let alone defeat the Chinese! "Field Marshal Tirpitz, Secretary of the Navy, also refused to make peace with the Entente.

Kaiser Wilhelm II pondered, indeed, if it were to turn against the Entente, Germany would have to give up the benefits it had now gained, and would have to fight against the mighty China. Of course, if China can be defeated, Germany will definitely be able to share a lot of benefits in the future. But what if the Chinese cannot be defeated? Then Germany's losses will be even greater!

"Chancellor Holwig, what is your opinion?" Kaiser Wilhelm II asked.

"Your Majesty, if the Chinese can abide by the agreement they made with us and hand over the whole of Europe to us, then we can completely continue the war.

As long as we can get the whole of Europe, then we have the strength to continue the confrontation with China! Chancellor Holwig said. After all, Europe is now the core of the world, although many places have been scorched by the war, but as long as it recovers, it will still be able to obtain industrial strength no worse than China, which will be the capital of Germany and China to compete for world hegemony!

"But will the Chinese still abide by the original agreement?" Kaiser Wilhelm II asked, somewhat uncertain. After all, the original agreement was signed by Germany to force China to sign an armistice, and if the Chinese refused to honor these agreements after the war, then Germany would suffer heavy losses!

"We can only hope that the Chinese will abide by these agreements! After all, after the end of the war, even if the Chinese won the war, their own strength would definitely be consumed, and China would not have a large-scale war with Germany at that time. And this is Germany's chance! Taking a step back, even if Germany lacks the strength to compete with China for world hegemony at that time, we will be able to protect ourselves! Marshal Tirpitz said. It is also true that now China's development has surpassed! With the support of the resources of these colonies, China's development will inevitably become faster and faster. This will pose a great threat to Germany. If you can protect yourself, it will be very good for Germany!

Kaiser Wilhelm II frowned, he knew the meaning of Marshal Tirpitz's words. If the war continues, even if the war is won, Germany is estimated to not have enough strength to compete with China for world hegemony. But if peace is made with the Entente, the entire Western world will not be absolutely sure of victory, and Germany will lose even more. Since both of these options are disadvantageous for Germany, Germany also has only one option that is relatively harmless! If Germany can gain access to the whole of Europe, it will still have the strength to compete with China for world supremacy. Even if it only gains most of Europe, Germany will have the power to protect itself! This is the most advantageous choice for Germany!

"Well, in that case, then reply to the Chinese, the covenant is sacred, and we will continue to fulfill our obligations under the covenant!" However, find a way to get more benefits from the Chinese, all kinds of strategic materials and technologies and drawings of advanced equipment. Especially the design drawings of aircraft carriers of the Chinese, we must find a way to get them! Kaiser Wilhelm II said. Germany and China have already acquired the technology of bombers, and have begun to actively copy them, as long as they can get the drawings of aircraft carriers, they will be able to form combat effectiveness. This is very beneficial to Germany, and it will also have a greater capital when it confronts China in the future!

"Yes, 陛xià, zhèngfǔ will contact the Chinese side!" Prime Minister Holwig said. It's just that he knows that with the current international situation, it is not so easy for Germany to blackmail China again!

"On the Army and Navy side, the Army must be prepared to launch a large-scale battle to defeat the Anglo-French forces and bring all of France under our rule! The Navy must also start to act aggressively and prepare to challenge Britain! As long as we can occupy more Europe, we will have enough capital to confront the Chinese in the future! Kaiser Wilhelm II said. France's industrial strength is also strong in Europe, if it can annex France, Germany's strength will undoubtedly go to a higher level, as for Britain, because across the channel, it may not be easy for Germany to swallow Britain, even if the British navy is once again hit hard!

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Chief of the General Staff of the German Army, Admiral Falkenhayn, and the Minister of the Navy, Field Marshal Tirpitz, both replied! Beginning in the second half of last year, the German Army began to go on the defensive to avoid a large-scale decisive battle with the British and French forces. In addition, the strategic materials and weapons and equipment obtained from China have also been stockpiled, and after half a year of rest, the German Army has the strength to launch a large-scale counterattack against the British and French forces! As long as the day of Chūn came, the Germans would have the ability to launch an attack and even defeat the Anglo-French forces completely. As for the German Navy, although there are not many capital ships left, it once again has the strength to challenge the British, and even if it cannot break through the British Navy's blockade of Germany, it can still cause some trouble to the British!

After Kaiser Wilhelm II made his choice, Germany sprang into action. It was still winter, but it did not prevent the operation of the German warplanes. Take advantage of the cold winter and prepare for the arrival of the day of Chūn, when it will be time for the Germans to launch an earth-shattering attack on the enemy!

Madero, the capital of Spain, as a neutral country in this world war, Spain was not affected by the war, which made many European tycoons go to Spain to escape the war. This also accelerated the development of Spain in a certain way.

The Chinese Embassy in Spain welcomed a special guest today. A Ford drove through the gate outside the embassy and stopped until it reached the garage, where two white men in suits and top hats, accompanied by embassy staff, entered the embassy and were greeted by the Chinese ambassador to Spain, Hu Weide, who stood at the door.

"Welcome, Your Excellency, Ambassador!" Ambassador Hu Weide said with a smile!

"Thank you very much for meeting you, Your Excellency!" A middle-aged white man said with a smile on his face. He is identified as Alex, the US ambassador to Spain.

This time, it was on the orders of the United States that came to contact the Chinese side. At this point in the war, the United States has no hope of victory, and it may be destroyed at any time. At this time, seeking peace with China has become the only choice for the United States!
