Chapter 1052: Pessimistic Germany
There is no doubt that it is in China's best interest to stabilize Germany and let Germany continue the war. However, the Germans were not fools, and if Germany felt that it was more advantageous to withdraw from the war now, the Germans would probably make peace with the Entente for their own benefit. To do this, China had to show the Germans the benefits of continuing the war. This means that China will have to pay a price. Although this is somewhat unacceptable, it has to be done for the sake of the longer term. Otherwise, China will lose even more!
"Well, we now need to send someone to the German side. I don't think the news of the defeat of the High Seas Fleet can be concealed at all. It's still early in the morning on the German side. After dawn, there will be chaos on the German side. We need to help Kaiser Wilhelm II and Germany zhèngfu and strengthen our determination to continue fighting! Wang Yuze said.
"Your Majesty, why don't you go to Germany!" Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi said. In order to strengthen the German side's determination to fight, the Chinese side will definitely need to send heavyweight ministers to the side. Prime Minister Wu Tingfang is a very good candidate, but now that Wu Tingfang is old, he is seventy years old, although he is still quite strong, but there are a lot of things to be busy with on his side, and he really can't take a break. In this case, Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi has become the best candidate.
"Good! Lord Tang, you will go to Germany as the Empire's envoy plenipotentiary. Liaison with Kaiser Wilhelm II and German zhèngfu. If necessary, the Reich could pay a price, as long as Germany could continue the war! Wang Yuze said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi nodded, he also knew that this mission was quite arduous, and if it could not be completed, it would plunge the empire into a great crisis.
"Your Majesty, the President of the Naval University, Marshal #Yu Shichang, is currently in Germany, we can let Marshal Deng Shichang contact the German Navy. Although the German Navy's High Seas Fleet was defeated, the German Navy still had a great influence in the German Zhèngfu and Kaiser Wilhelm II. If you can keep them fighting, maybe it will affect Wilhelm II! Navy Minister Zhang Cheng said. When the British and German navies were about to have a decisive battle, the Chinese side sent a naval observation team to Germany to observe the decisive battle at sea. After all, this is most likely the largest showdown between battleships in the history of mankind. Although the development direction of the Chinese Navy has been placed on aircraft carriers, the large-scale showdown between battleships will still provide great reference for the Chinese Navy. Not to mention, it was also a good opportunity to get to know the German Navy, as well as the British Navy. If China wants to become a world hegemon, both the British Navy and the German Navy will be China's enemies. And the president of the Naval University, Marshal Deng Shichang, is the head of the observation group this time!
"Yes. #阝元帅也曾在德国进修过, I had a close relationship with the German admirals! Wang Yuze nodded, and then said: "In addition, contact the ambassador to Germany and ask him to mo's specific situation on the German side!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi said.
"Ladies and gentlemen, from now on, the empire will face a great crisis. The Imperial Army, Navy, and Air Force will be further mobilized. Stabilizing the Germans is just buying us time. If we really want to win this war, we need to rely on our own strength. I hope that in the next war, the Imperial ** team can have a better performance and win this war for the Empire! Wang Yuze said in a deep voice. Now, China must race against time, and it must be prepared to withdraw from the war on its own. Otherwise, China will face an even more severe situation.
This is very unfavorable to China, which is striving to gain world hegemony.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone replied loudly. As the top echelons of the empire, they all know how long China has been preparing for this war. It has been almost a year since the outbreak of the war. China has now completely entered a state of war, and has been winning on the battlefield one after another, and it does not seem that it is very far from China's complete victory. However, such variables have now emerged, and the stakes have become serious for China's future strategy. Therefore, it is now more important for China to break out into a more powerful war force. And this, it requires the unity of the empire and the military.
Next, the empire began to actively intervene in industrial production, transferring all war-related factories to a wartime system. In addition, a large number of metallurgical, chemical and mechanical factories will be built, further expanding the war potential of the empire. On the army side, first of all, the army began a new round of mobilization. A large number of young people of school age were notified to go to the barracks for recruit training. This time, the Imperial Army will once again be armed with one! 100 Infantry Divisions. If necessary, additional troops will be formed. The Empire has abundant human resources, and in terms of land forces, especially in infantry, can arm an army that will strike fear into the hearts of the whole world. The army's arsenals have also begun to work overtime to produce weapons and ammunition, especially heavy weapons such as tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery, which have been put in the first place. In the Navy, the Empire's ongoing construction of battleships, aircraft carriers, heavy cruisers, and other warships has picked up speed. Many small warships and military transport ships are produced by private shipyards to speed up the construction process. In the Air Force, new fighters and bombers have also begun intensive test flights, and they will be finalized and produced as much as possible.
At the same time, the Imperial Army also began to actively prepare for a new round of offensive on the battlefield in Mexico, completely driving the US troops out of Mexico, and even entering the United States in one fell swoop. In addition, other units of the Army began to increase their forces in Siberia, Central Asia, South Asia, as well as Australia and Egypt. On the naval side, in addition to the main force still hunting and killing light warships and submarines of the US Navy's West Coast Fleet in the eastern Pacific, the main force of the Indian Ocean Fleet has also begun to further pressure the living space of the small fleets left by the US Navy in India and Australia. All for China to be able to take the initiative in the war.
In the early morning of June 1, 1912, Berlin time, although the morning was no different from usual, there seemed to be an uneasiness flowing in the air. Although Kaiser Wilhelm II demanded that the news of the fiasco of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet be kept secret, how could such a big matter be completely kept secret. In particular, in the military port in western Germany, some of the warships damaged at the beginning of the decisive battle had already returned to the military port, and the hull full of bullet marks and white burns aroused the exclamation of the local residents.
In addition, some Allied agents hiding in Germany began to spread the news of the destruction of the German Navy's high seas fleet, which made people panic. Although most of the Germans did not believe this, they had strong confidence in the German High Seas Fleet, believing that the German Navy would definitely achieve a brilliant victory for Germany. However, as the German Zhèngfu remained silent on the matter, the confidence of the German people began to gradually decline, and slowly, many people began to wonder if the High Seas Fleet of the Imperial Navy had really suffered a crushing defeat.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, a car flying the Chinese flag and the logo of the Chinese embassy in Germany drove to the German Admiralty. At the gate, the driver showed his ID to the guards and waited less than two minutes before being allowed in. When the car drove into the German Admiralty, the German Admiralty, Field Marshal Tirpitz, was already waiting on the steps in front of the building. It's just that the current Admiral Tirpitz looks so tired.
The car steadied as a Navy officer stepped out of the passenger seat and opened the rear door. An old man with a somewhat old face but a somewhat sharp eyes stepped out of the car, he was the president of the China Naval University and Marshal Deng Shichang.
"Welcome, my friend!" When Marshal Tirpitz saw Marshal Deng Shichang, he took the initiative to greet him. At the beginning, #阝世昌和中国海军的其他军官在德国进修的时候, they already knew each other and had a good relationship.
"My friend, are you alright?" After the two hugged for a while, Marshal Deng Shichang asked directly.
Marshal Tirpitz's eyes darkened all of a sudden: "My friend, I'm fine. Germany is not doing well now, though. The German Navy is very bad right now! ”
Tirpitz's words were filled with pessimism. The annihilation of the main forces of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet was a very big blow to him.
After the two arrived in Marshal Tirpitz's office, Tirpitz looked even more decadent. After receiving the news of the defeat of the High Seas Fleet, he was unable to sleep all night last night, so that now Jing Shen is in a very bad state.
"Alfred, I was also shocked to hear the news of the High Seas Fleet's battle report. However, I think the High Seas Fleet is very heroic. If it weren't for the British and Americans uniting and using despicable tactics, perhaps the High Seas Fleet would have won! Deng Shichang said.
"Yes. However, there is no meanness or meanness in war, there are only winners and losers. And now, Germany is a loser! Germany's mighty naval fleet, which had taken decades to build, was destroyed in one day. At the same time, it was also the determination of Germany to be buried! Field Marshal Tirpitz was full of loneliness. He is called the father of the German navy, and now, the high seas fleet has suffered a crushing defeat, as if his children had been killed.
