Chapter 1292: The Crisis in Germany

Germany is indeed growing rapidly and has become the most powerful country in Europe. However, it depends on who it is compared to, and if it is compared to the smaller countries in Europe, Germany is of course a superpower. However, if it is compared with the Chinese Empire, Germany's enemy, then Germany is somewhat insignificant. After all, Germany is developing, and the development of the Chinese Empire is definitely not slow.

In particular, after the Chinese Empire sacrificed the automobile industry, which was a big killer, it made the domestic heavy industry develop rapidly. As for light industry, there is so much private capital in China, as long as the government gives a little guidance, it can develop well, and there is no need to worry about it at all.

"Cars are a good thing, much better than horse-drawn carriages, fast, and don't need to be fed. And those trucks are even more useful, not only for transporting troops, but also for towing artillery, etc., which can completely replace war horses! The Chief of the General Staff of the German Army, Count Moltke, also said. After Germany began exporting cars to Europe, he procured a batch in the name of the General Staff to equip the troops.

"If cars are so good, why don't we make our own? Buying cars from China all the time, doesn't this make the Chinese make more money? "Frederick. Crown Prince William said with some dissatisfaction. You know, the money that the Chinese earn today may be turned into bullets and shells in the future, which will be used against German soldiers!

"Chinese have registered patents all over the world. If we make cars, we are violating patents. The Chinese will definitely use this as an excuse to impose sanctions on them. "Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck said.

"We don't have to copy the Chinese design exactly, for example, we can change a little bit in appearance. That's the case. We can talk to the Chinese! "Frederick. Crown Prince William thought it was a good idea.

"Your Highness, cars are not so easy to imitate. Especially in the engine and transmission of the car, our engineers have not yet found a solution. Other than that. Most of the rubber needed to produce car tires comes from China's Nanyang, which is difficult to buy from China. Even if a car is produced, gasoline is needed to drive it, and gasoline is refined from petroleum. At this stage, the Chinese control the South Seas are producing oil. Therefore, to develop the automobile industry on a large scale, there are still many difficulties in front of us! "Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck said. Some difficulties may be solved by guò technical means. It is not as good as the manufacture of engines and gearboxes, but there are still some problems that cannot be solved by technical means, such as rubber and oil.

"Hell! How can Nanyang have so many resources? If I had known, I should have grabbed Nanyang in the first place! "Frederick. Crown Prince William's face was full of envy, jealousy and hatred. Of course, this is nothing more than empty words. Before the rise of the Chinese Empire, there was a war with the British, which robbed Nanyang. At that time, the Kingdom of Prussia, although it was also a great power, could not put a powerful navy into the South Seas.

"Germany's territory is not small anymore. Isn't there oil on our territory? As for rubber, although Nanyang produces most of it, there is also a small amount of cultivation in South America, and we can develop rubber plantation in South America. In this way, you will not be pinched by the neck of the Chinese! William I said. He also saw the role of automobiles in domestic industry and national defense, and could not master this industry. For Germany, this is undoubtedly a huge mistake. He didn't want it to go on like this.

"陛xià. The rubber problem may be solved in South America. It will take time, though. Oil, on the other hand, needs to be found by relevant geological experts. "Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck said. It's just that he doesn't know that Germany doesn't produce oil at all, or that Germany's own oil resources are buried so deep that with current technology, they can't be detected, let alone extracted. Otherwise, Germany's invincible armored forces in World War II would not have been in trouble due to lack of fuel.

"At this stage, I can buy rubber and oil from the Chinese Empire, even if it costs a high price, we must buy these resources and hoard a little more, so that even if the Chinese cut off the supply to us, we still have enough time to react!" Foreign Secretary Albrech. Feng. Earl Ron said.

"Hmmm! This is a good solution, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce will discuss it, and prepare to buy a large amount of rubber and oil from the Chinese Empire! Kaiser Wilhelm I nodded. Since Germany lacked it, there was no choice but to buy it from outside. As long as you can buy it, the problem is easy to solve, and if you can't buy it, it's a big problem.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Albrech. Feng. Earl Ron replied. As Germany's foreign minister, he dealt with the Chinese Empire the most, and he was more aware of the gap between Germany and the Chinese Empire. In his view, it was very difficult for Germany to challenge the hegemony of the Chinese Empire. Unless it was the Chinese Empire itself that made a stupid move or the French and Saints were in civil strife, Germany would not have a chance. However, Kaiser Wilhelm I and the nobles were ambitious to challenge the hegemony of the Chinese Empire, and he had no choice but to help the country achieve victory as much as possible. Even the hope of victory is very slim. But what can he do? After all, he is also a German aristocrat, and if Germany fails, he will not end well.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our enemies are strong. But, I believe, God will bless us. In future wars, we will definitely be able to defeat the Chinese and win. Now, what we need to do is to develop ourselves as much as possible and try to make up for the shortcomings in all aspects. Only in this way will the gap between us and the Chinese Empire become smaller and smaller! Kaiser Wilhelm I said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The ministers replied one after another.

"How's our plan to trouble the Chinese going?" William I asked. He had great hopes for this plan. Even if it can't make China break its bones, even if it can contain part of the power of the Chinese Empire, it will be a victory.

"Your Majesty, the Chinese have begun to eliminate resistance forces in various places, especially in North America and Eastern Europe, and the Chinese have dispatched a large number of military and civilian reserve forces to eliminate the resistance forces in various places. Now, the resistance forces everywhere have fallen into a trough because of heavy losses! Count Moltke said that this plan has always been implemented by the intelligence department of military spending.

"The Chinese have too many people, they are frantically immigrating to the world, and the locals are not in the majority at all, so that in the confrontation, they can't take advantage of it at all!" Guerrilla warfare, it seems, is not able to affect the Chinese at all. "Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck said.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, China's guerrilla warfare was successful, and this was because it relied on the broad masses of the people to plunge the Japanese into the ocean of people's war. However, North America and Eastern Europe are different. Although the number of Caucasians is large, after the large-scale immigration of China, the Chinese have taken the advantage. As a result, the local resistance forces and guerrillas not only did not receive support, but their living space was constantly oppressed. In the end, under the encirclement and suppression of the Chinese army, it fell into a predicament. With the increasing number of immigrants from China, the complete elimination of these guerrillas and resistance forces is also a world problem.

"The goal of the Chinese is to occupy the whole world, so they are crazy to reproduce the population. Even if the entire Western world is combined, it is far from being comparable to the Chinese Empire in terms of population! William I couldn't help but sigh. Although hot weapons have dominated the battlefield, the superiority of troops is still an extremely important factor in determining the victory of the war. A larger population means that you can arm more troops, which gives you an advantage on the battlefield. In this respect, Germany is clearly no match for the Chinese Empire. Even after the annexation of Austria-Hungary, the population of Germany as a whole was only 120 million, only one-fifth of the Chinese Empire.

"Even though the Chinese have a large population, it is not easy for their troops to be sent to Europe. We can't give up making trouble for the Chinese, and I think we should strengthen our support for those resistance forces in North America and Eastern Europe. In addition, the African colonies and India must also speed up their actions. Especially in India, although the Chinese emperor became the emperor of India, there are still those who are loyal to the Mughal Empire and must have a grudge against the Chinese Empire, as well as those princes who have been annexed to the territory, they can all be the objects of our support. As long as these overseas territories of the Chinese are in trouble, the Chinese will not want to have a good life! "Frederick. Crown Prince William said fiercely. Germany knew that after the Emperor of the Chinese Empire succeeded to the throne of India, he also knew that India would provide the Chinese Empire with a special fund of 800 million Chinese dollars every year, which made the entire German high-level jealous.

You must know that with these 800 million Chinese dollars, the annual military expenditure of the army and navy of the Chinese Empire will be available. They can use the money they receive from India to maintain an extremely strong army. Germany, on the other hand, relies on finance. The gap between the two sides can be seen in the comparison.

"Hmmm! We have to find a way to make India mess up too. Only in this way will the Chinese have no time to worry about troubles with us! Count Moltke also said. (To be continued......)
