"The German Empire, inherited from the Holy Roman Empire, from the Middle Ages onwards, we were the hegemon of Europe. Over the centuries, the Germanic peoples have gone through countless divisions and mergers, and now, the Kingdom of Prussia has united Germany, and a united, powerful German Empire has been formed! In the future, we will lead the German Empire to a more brilliant future! "Wilhelm I was at the Imperial Palace in Berlin, addressing the people who had just become subjects of the German Empire. The German Empire was founded, and the faces of the people were full of smiles.

"Long live the Empire, long live His Majesty the Emperor!" The crowd cheered enthusiastically. A divided Germany was a pain in the hearts of many Germanic peoples. All along, the great powers of Europe did not allow the emergence of a strong German empire in Central Europe, which would pose a threat to other countries. It was because of them that Germany was divided. Now, all of the former powers have been brought to the ground, and a powerful German Empire has been established in Europe, becoming the hegemon of the whole of Europe.

In a way, the German Empire was built on the corpses of the former hegemons of Europe. If it weren't for this world war, the defeat of those old powers, the German Empire wanted to establish, it would have been impossible.

The territory of the nascent German Empire, in addition to the original German states, included the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire, Poland, the Baltic coast, and Alsace and Lorraine in the north of the Netherlands and northeastern France. This made the German-Italian: Zhi Empire have a territory of more than 10,000,000,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 100 million people. It can be said that the German Empire has become the second largest power in the world after the Chinese Empire. Even the Ottoman Turkish Empire compared to the German Empire. The gap is very large.

Only the German Empire could pose a threat to the world hegemony of the Chinese Empire. Arguably. The moment the German Empire was founded, it meant that the full-scale confrontation between the Chinese Empire and the German Empire had begun. Merely. The world war has just ended, and it will not break out now. However, both the Chinese Empire and the German Empire knew that war was inevitable. From now on, both sides have begun to prepare for the war. The war of the future will be a war of life and death.

The establishment of the German Empire, the accession of Wilhelm I to the throne, and the enthronement ceremony was attended by the envoys of various countries to the Kingdom of Prussia. Now, of course, the envoys of the countries to the Kingdom of Prussia. They all automatically became envoys of various countries to the German Empire.

At the enthronement ceremony, the ambassadors of the Chinese Empire, the Kingdom of Spain, and the Kingdom of Belgium gathered. They were discussing the impact of the German Empire on the countries. In particular, the Kingdom of Belgium, whose strength borders on the German Empire, will be the first target of the German Empire's threat. In the event of a war, the Kingdom of Belgium would bear the brunt of the war, and the pressure on it could be imagined.

Fortunately, the Chinese Empire had promised to deploy an army group in the Kingdom of Belgium. In the event of war, it will assist the Belgian army to resist the German attack and buy time for the arrival of subsequent reinforcements. When the time comes. The Empire's troops deployed in the British Isles and the Kingdom of Spain will also rush to the Kingdom of Belgium for reinforcements as soon as possible. The Kingdom of Spain, an ally of the Empire, would also send troops to war. And the army of the empire will continue to sail from the empire mainland to Europe by sea. Arguably. As long as the German Empire had not been able to destroy the Kingdom of Belgium at the time of the first wave of attacks, the Kingdom of Belgium would not have perished, even if most of its territory had fallen.

Envoys from the rest of the countries. It revolves around the German Reich Chancellor Otto. Feng. Bismarck and Foreign Minister Albrech. Feng. In front of Count Ron, everyone wants to be able to get in touch with the powerful German Empire. Though. Everyone knows that war between the German Empire and the Chinese Empire was inevitable. But who will be able to achieve the final victory in the war. In the absence of the beginning of the war, it is a little too early to draw conclusions. Therefore, the best thing to do is to maintain good relations with both the Chinese Empire and the German Empire. Wait until the battle is clear, and then decide which side you want to join. In this way, it will undoubtedly be possible to ensure that you are on the side of the victor to the greatest extent.

The Ottoman Empire undoubtedly interpreted the image of the wall grass very perfectly, and the current Ottoman Turkish Empire's policies are exactly the right and left. Not only did they not offend the Chinese Empire, but they also maintained good relations with the German Empire, which would undoubtedly allow them to take advantage of it.

The government structure of the German Empire was still copied from that of the Kingdom of Prussia. Government affairs are headed by Prime Minister Otto. Feng. Bismarck was in charge, and the chancellor was directly accountable to Kaiser Wilhelm I. On the army side, the Chief of the General Staff was responsible for the construction of the German army and navy. The only difference was that Count Moltke had officially replaced Admiral Reichll as Chief of the General Staff of the German Empire. The crown prince of the German Empire was founded by Frederick. Crown Prince William assumed, which allowed him to get his wish. Previously, he was the crown prince of the Kingdom of Prussia, but in front of the crown prince of the Chinese Empire, he always felt as if he was a head shorter. Now, everyone's identity is finally the same.

"Your Majesty, the German Empire has been established, and Kaiser Wilhelm I is now proud!" Imperial Prime Minister Lin Zihao said with a smile.

"Yes, the German Empire, a mighty empire. It is a pity that this empire will be an opponent of the empire from the very beginning of its establishment. In the future, the army of the empire will destroy this empire with their own hands! There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Long Yufei's mouth.

Because of him, history has been changed beyond recognition. Although the wheel of history is still advancing, it has already turned in an unknown direction. The German Empire, now established. It was more than ten years earlier than the history that Long Yufei was familiar with. Moreover, the current German Empire is more powerful and industrially developed than the German Empire he is familiar with, and it is the main enemy of the Empire. If the Empire can't defeat this enemy, his efforts will be like a mirror. However, if it succeeds, then the empire will be able to clear the obstacles, and no country will be able to pose a threat to the empire's world hegemony.

"The Cabinet of Ministers built from now on to curb the German Empire, the markets of the Empire, and refuse to open them to the German Empire. Economic and trade between the Reich and the German Reich would be cut off. Lin Zihao said.

Long Yufei hesitated, but still shook his head: "In this case, there will undoubtedly be a lot of noise, so forget it!" The Reich only had to prohibit the sale of goods to the German Reich in certain key areas. Like rubber and oil! Although the power of these two commodities has not yet been revealed, the empire will soon be promoting the automobile to the whole country. At that time, the demand for oil and rubber will increase explosively. The German Empire did not produce rubber, and it lacked oil. When the time comes, their situation will undoubtedly be even more difficult! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lin Zihao nodded.

"Your Majesty, the representatives of the princely states of India have already set off, and it is expected that they will arrive in Huaxia City in half a month. The rulers of the two hundred princely states, one is not many. This time, the purpose of their visit was to ask His Majesty to become the Emperor of India! Foreign Minister Wei Yuan said with a smile.

According to the agreement between the empire and the princely states of India, the emperor Long Yufei will also serve as the emperor of India, and the vicinity of Kolkata will become Long Yufei's direct territory. As for the rest of India, it will be divided into two hundred princely states to rule. The empire will guarantee the security of India, and the princely states of India will govern India well for the empire, and ensure the stability of India. In addition, India will pay a special fund of 800 million Chinese dollars to the empire every year to support the construction of the empire's military strength.

India has a large population, but they are all lazy to eat. It is undoubtedly better for the princely states to rule them than for the empire to rule them directly. After all, India's population is second only to the empire, and if the empire oppresses the Indians excessively and awakens their national consciousness, the empire will be in trouble. At that time, the empire would have to rule India by force. If the Indians resisted, it was even more likely that the empire would be plunged into war. So, the empire supported the princely states to rule India, and the empire only needed to get benefits from India, and that was enough.

On January 26, 1856, representatives of 200 princely states of India arrived in Huaxia City on a luxury cruise ship, which was bought by the princely lords of India at a high price. These princely states are not bad people in the first place.

Imperial Foreign Minister Wei Yuan went to the dock to greet these princes, which undoubtedly gave them great face.

Subsequently, the princely state of India met with the imperial emperor Long Yufei, and the princely state of Hyderabad Assaf. Jah IV and the princely state of Vadodara Gampatlao. Under the leadership of Gekvard, two hundred princely lords asked Long Yufei to succeed him as Emperor of India.

Long Yufei said that he would refuse, but these princes insisted and decided that Long Yufei was the best candidate for the emperor of India.

At the same time, the people of the empire also agreed with the emperor Long Yufei concurrently serving as the emperor of India. This has never been done in the history of China, and the emperor of China is also the emperor of other countries, which undoubtedly greatly increases the prestige of China!

I really can't shirk it, Long Yufei has to be the emperor of India. Of course, the Emperor of India was only a nominal name, and the actual affairs of India were still in the hands of these princes. Long Yufei, the emperor, is just waiting for these landlords to come to pay tribute, or protection money.

On January 28, 1856, Long Yufei officially announced in Huaxia City that he would also serve as the emperor of India. (To be continued......)
