"Thank you, my friend, for your comfort. However, can you tell me the real purpose of your coming today? I don't think we need to go around in circles! Admiral Tirpitz asked. He knew that #阝世昌在今天前来拜访他 must be more than just comforting him. Although, the personal friendship between him and #阝世昌 is not bad, but at this time, it is definitely not so simple.

"Good! Alfred, I would like to know the position of Germany after the defeat of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet! What's next for Germany? Will it continue to fight? Deng Shichang asked. #阝世昌作为中国海军大学校长, the former commander of the Home Fleet was also well aware of the impact on China if Germany decided to withdraw from the war. Yesterday evening, he had already received a telegram from the Admiralty, in which Marshal Chang Cheng, Minister of the Admiralty, asked him to find out as much as possible what the German position was to do next, and whether the war would continue. At the same time, it was hoped that he would be able to influence Admiral Tirpitz and make Germany as determined to fight as much as possible.

Marshal Tirpitz was silent, this question, he simply did not know how to answer. The Germans had great confidence in the German Navy's High Seas Fleet, but the final result was a fiasco, which dealt a very big blow to Kaiser Wilhelm II, the German side and the German Zhèngfu. There is no doubt that Germany's confidence has been shaken. Although no one has yet offered to withdraw from the war. But it's almost certain. The German Army was already in a standoff with the British and French forces on the Western Front, lacking the ability to continue the breakthrough. The Navy, on which high hopes were pinned, also failed. In such a situation, it is conceivable what kind of choice Germany will make.

"My friend, did you come from China? I know very well about your xing. Marshal Tirpitz said.

"Alfred, my country is really very concerned about this. His Majesty the Emperor of our country also attaches great importance to this. You should know that this is related to the overall strategy of our country in the future! Deng Shichang said frankly.

"Thank you for your candor. However, I don't know what the Emperor thinks about it now. But I am well aware that the crushing defeat of the High Seas Fleet was a very big blow to His Majesty the Emperor. In addition, the army has little hope of winning. Coupled with the blockade of sea lanes, now Germany's war potential was greatly affected. If it persists, it will not do Germany any good. If the Entente were willing to give in, Emperor Xià and Zhan Ngfu might really make the decision to withdraw from the war! Marshal Tirpitz said. One of the important reasons why he said this to Deng Shichang was that he did not want the war to end like this. Although the main forces of the High Seas Fleet had been eliminated, the German Navy still had a certain combat power. At least the submarine forces of the German Navy have always dealt a great blow to the British. If the Chinese are willing to increase their support for Germany and make greater concessions, perhaps Germany will be willing to continue the war. And the German Navy may also have a chance to be ashamed. Field Marshal Tirpitz had always regarded the defeat of the British Navy as the goal of his victory, and he was not willing to give up halfway!

"Alfred, both His Majesty and Zhèngfu, the Emperor, hope that Germany will continue to fight, and that together we can work together to break the old world system and establish a new world system that we will lead. That's always been our goal! Now, although there have been some setbacks, I believe that with our efforts, we will be able to win in the end! Deng Shichang said.

The alliance between Germany and China was officially aimed at defeating the Western powers and re-dividing the world. It's just that both Germany and China want to take the lead in the world of the future. And now, it seems, Germany's ambitions will also be dashed with the crushing defeat of the Navy's High Seas Fleet. no doubt

This is definitely not what China wants to see. Although China hopes that Germany can drag Britain, France, and Russia for China, so that China can calmly solve the great enemy of the United States. If Germany withdraws, then all the pressure on the Entente will be on China.

"This is what I say, my friend. However, Germany's current national strength is no longer enough to continue the war. People's lives are already very difficult, and we need to think about more. Perhaps, it was a mistake to start this war from the very beginning! "Marshal Tirpitz looked compassionate.

"This old guy of the is still deliberately pretending to be garlic!" Deng Shichang scolded in his heart. He knew very well that Tirpitz was saying these things solely for the greater good of Germany. And now, even if China has a request from Germany, it can only be the culprit of this injustice and let the Germans slaughter it fiercely.

"Alfred, I think we must first find out the position of His Majesty the Kaiser and the German zhèngfu and the German side. If Germany is willing to continue the dispute, China will not sit idly by and watch Germany find itself in trouble. We can talk more about the specific situation at that time. His Excellency Tang Shaoyi, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Reich, was ready to leave for Berlin, where he would arrive in the Persian Gulf on a naval warship and then by the Guò-Baghdad railway. If Germany is determined to continue fighting, we can fight side by side until the final victory is achieved. Of course, if Germany is timid, then China has nothing to do about it. But we will never compromise and we will continue to fight! Marshal Deng Shichang said.

Marshal Tirpitz nodded, and the reaction of the Chinese side had been expected by him. However, such national events are not something that can be decided. Therefore, he could not give Deng Shichang any promises, and could only reply to #阝世昌, and he would convey the views of the Chinese side to Kaiser Wilhelm II. The specific decision will be answered after Kaiser Wilhelm II discussed it with Zhèngfu and the military. However, Marshal Tirpitz himself was more than happy to continue the war.

Unlike Germany's pessimism, the Allies had already begun to celebrate their victory. Great Britain, the United States, France, and Russia, the major powers of the Entente, all regarded the combined defeat of the German High Seas Fleet by the British Navy and the United States as a great victory of great significance. Some optimistic people even regarded this victory as a turning point in the world war, claiming that from this moment on, the initiative of the world war had been transferred to the hands of the Entente. Although, on the European battlefield, the German army still occupied a certain advantage. The squadron also has an absolute advantage in the Mexican battlefield. But they believe that these advantages will soon be lost. The Entente will defeat the Allies and the evil China, win this world war once and for all, and return the whole world to its previous trajectory.

On the morning of June 1, the major Allied media carried the news of the victory of the British Navy and the American Navy in inflicting heavy damage on the German High Seas Fleet and annihilating the main force of the High Seas Fleet. This made the people of the Entente countries, who had been in tension and unrest since the beginning of the war, completely boil. Since the beginning of the war, the most news they have heard is the defeat of the front, how many troops have been lost, which cities have been occupied by the Germans or Chinese, and so on. And now, they have finally waited for the news of victory.

In the major cities of the Entente, parades to celebrate victory also broke out, as if victory was within reach. Similarly, zhèngfu in various countries has also been loved by the people at this moment, and the support has skyrocketed. This is undoubtedly the most important affirmation for the zhèngfu of these so-called minzhu countries. With strong popular support, this means that they can continue to be the leaders of the country. After enjoying the wonders of power, no one wants to give up the power in their hands.

June 1 at 9 a.m. Washington time, Theodore. Roosevelt returned to his office after attending a speech to the people. Because of the time zone, by the time the British Navy and the U.S. Navy joined forces to defeat the German Navy, it was already 7 p.m. Washington time. Although the senior cabinet officials in the United States were the first to get the relevant news, ordinary people only learned about the relevant news through the radio and newspapers the next day. Of course, this did not affect the American people to vent their excitement, and there were many people in front of the White House who were marching to celebrate the victory. And before that, many of them were coming to the White House to Theodore. President Roosevelt protested against the crushing defeat of the U.S. Army on the Central Mexican Front.

Theodore. Roosevelt returned to his office when Vice President Woodrow. Wilson was already waiting for him. Although, Theodore. Roosevelt was the president of the United States, but Woodrow. Wilson was an agent of the Minzhu Party, and many officials in the U.S. Cabinet were also members of the Minzhu Party. Therefore, Theodore. Roosevelt always had a lot of respect for Woodrow. Wilson, if there is anything big, he is willing to work with Woodrow. Wilson discussed. He knows that the current United States can no longer engage in internal strife, and it needs to unite in order to defeat a strong enemy.

"Your Excellency, it seems that the enthusiasm of the people has been stimulated, and everyone has walked out of the shadow of failure!" Woodrow. Wilson said.

"Yes, I completely agree with Your Excellency.

However, it must not be forgotten that our enemies are still strong. Your Excellency Vice President, I have come to you today because I would like to discuss with you one thing. If successful, this may allow us to defeat the strong enemy earlier! "Theodore. Roosevelt said. In fact, he had already had this idea when he learned that the British and American navies had joined forces to defeat the command of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet. However, he first needs to get Woodrow. Wilson's support will do!
