The confrontation between the German-led Holy Alliance and the Chinese Empire-led Peace Alliance had already begun. It's just that it has always been the Peace Alliance that has the upper hand. As you can see on the map, the Peace Alliance has surrounded the Holy Alliance in Europe. Although the strength of the member states of the Peace Alliance in Europe is generally relatively weak, with the Chinese Empire as the backing, they fully dare to confront the Holy Alliance.

The Germans have always wanted to co-opt the European members of the Peace Alliance. It's just that the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium were both hardcore allies of the Chinese Empire. The Kingdom of Scotland and the Republic of Ireland were even more supported by the Chinese. The Chinese Empire had garrisons in these countries. Therefore, these countries are basically the same as the Chinese Empire.

But now, the genocide of the Boers by the Chinese in South Africa seems to have given the Germans a chance. They hoped that by doing so, the rest of Europe would unite against the Chinese Empire. In this case, even if several European members of the Peace Alliance are reluctant to join the Holy Alliance, as long as they remain neutral, or their own citizens are disgusted with the Chinese Empire. Then, the purpose of the Germans was achieved.

The wave of opposition to the Chinese Empire first broke out in the member states of the Holy Alliance. A large number of people, under the call of the government and public opinion, took to the streets to protest against the Chinese Empire. They gathered in front of the Chinese embassy and chanted slogans. The security personnel of the Chinese embassy closed the door and even set up machine guns in the back. They were given orders that they could shoot as long as the men dared to storm the embassy.

Of course. The members of the Holy Alliance are not stupid, how dare they let their people do such a thing? Doesn't this give the Chinese an excuse to provoke a war? So. Outside the gates of the imperial embassies in various countries, police and even military forces were dispatched from various countries. Maintain order and prevent these angry people from storming the Chinese embassy.

The wave of rebellion against the Chinese Empire then spread from the various member states of the Holy Alliance to the whole of Europe, and even some countries in South America. A small number of radical people went to protest outside the embassy of the Chinese Empire, and some even went to protest outside the local garrison barracks of the Chinese Empire. However, the crowd of protesters was quickly dispersed.

As allies of the Empire, the Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of Belgium, the Republic of Ireland, and the Kingdom of Scotland all knew what was happening in South Africa. It was only at the instigation of the Germans that the Boers opposed the Chinese Empire. Of course, the Chinese Empire's direct strategy of exterminating the Boers also made them somewhat dissatisfied. But overall. It doesn't have much to do with them. If the Chinese were exterminating the black race in South Africa, they would not have paid attention to it. However, the Boers are different. After all, the Boers are descendants of Europeans.

In the Kingdom of Belgium in particular, the wave of opposition was particularly intense. The Boers are mainly descendants of the Dutch. Although the Netherlands has fallen, the Kingdom of Belgium was once part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. In other words, those Boers are also Belgian descendants in a certain sense. This approach of the Chinese Empire to the destruction of the Boers. It is undoubtedly very dissatisfying to them.

However, the Kingdom of Belgium was a hardcore ally of the Chinese Empire, and without the support of the Chinese Empire, they would not have been where they are today. It is impossible to withstand the German attack in the next war. What's more, the Chinese Army directly stationed a group army in the Kingdom of Belgium, with a strength of nearly 200,000 troops. The Kingdom of Belgium, of course, will not allow the tide of revolt to spread.

Thereupon. The Kingdom of Belgium has taken a number of measures to curb these waves of opposition to the leaders of radical groups. They were arrested and imprisoned. At the same time, the Kingdom of Belgium also made a statement. Claiming that the Boers were exterminated is simply a rumor, and the Chinese simply did not do it. They simply killed the rebellious Boers in the war.

In fact, because the whole of South Africa was still under the blockade of the Chinese navy, the people of all countries did not actually know what happened to the Boers. They were nothing more than provoked by the Germans. Now that the government has issued a statement, many people have chosen to believe it and returned home, with only a handful of hardliners still holding on to the wave of protests. However, the Belgian government then dispatched the military and police to directly arrest these guys, which immediately changed the shape of the Belgian country.

Although, the actions taken by the Germans this time once again discredited the Chinese Empire. However, this is only within the Holy Alliance. The other European members of the Peace Alliance still chose to support the Chinese Empire. These countries have long been economic and political vassals of the Chinese Empire. Coupled with the garrisons of the Chinese Empire in these countries, and what kind of benefits they will gain after defeating the Holy Alliance in the future, these countries have been firmly tied to the chariot of the Chinese Empire.

The German plan, not only did not win over these countries, but also divided the whole of Europe once again. Although most of the European countries joined the German-led Holy Alliance, their population, economy, industry, and military strength were several times greater than those of those that joined the Peace Alliance. However, because of the strength of the Chinese Empire, it is still impossible for the Holy Alliance to win the war.

At the end of October, Germany hosted the General Assembly of the Holy Alliance in Berlin, which was attended by government and foreign and military officials, with the exception of the host country, Germany. The Ottoman Turks sent Ali. Pasha, Mustafa. Lester. Pasha and Suliman. Pasha attended the meeting.

Representatives of the Ottoman Empire, Great Britain, Russia, Italy, Denmark, Norway and Sweden gathered in Berlin. These countries have joined the Holy Alliance for a variety of reasons. Although these countries were not as strong as Germany, they were much stronger than the other members of the Peace Alliance, except for the Chinese Empire. This is why the Germans dared to stand up to the Peace Alliance. Although the Chinese Empire was strong, its allies were too weak. On the contrary, among Germany's allies, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, Great Britain, Russia, and the Kingdom of Italy were all powerful powers. In the event of war, at least on the European battlefield, the German Empire and its allies should be able to gain the upper hand.

At this plenary session, William I made a speech, in which he directly declared that the pace of war was approaching, and the most pessimistic prediction was that war would break out next year. Therefore, Germany hoped that all countries would be prepared for war so that they could defeat the ferocious Chinese in the war.

William I's remarks made all countries feel a great crisis. After all, if war breaks out next year, according to the previous schedule, all countries have not yet completed their preparations for war. Even Germany itself may not have completed its preparations for war! If war breaks out next year, won't countries be caught off guard?

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Chinese are preparing for war very quickly, and although Germany wants to make some trouble for the Chinese, we have not been able to succeed. Therefore, what we can do now is to speed up the progress of war preparations as much as possible and strive to complete war preparations next year! "Said the Chief of the General Staff of the German Army, Count Moltke.

Everyone understood what Count Moltke was talking about, and it was no secret to the countries that the Germans were planning uprisings in India and South Africa. However, it is a pity that the German plan did not succeed, otherwise the Chinese would have paid a huge price.

"According to the information we have received, it is likely that the Chinese's preparations for war will be completed by the middle of next year. Once preparations for war are completed, the Chinese will certainly not give us a chance to breathe. When the time comes, what awaits us will be a large-scale war after all. If we lose the war, I don't need to say what the consequences will be. We have no way back, we must fight to the death with the Chinese! Only then will we be able to defeat the Chinese! Count Moltke also said.

The delegates from all countries attending the meeting nodded their heads one after another. Whatever their reason for joining the Holy Alliance. However, now that they are on the thief ship, it is almost impossible to get off the ship. In the event of a collision with the Chinese Empire, they must work hard to prevent the ship from sinking. Otherwise, none of these countries will end well. With the character of the Chinese, they will never be soft on the enemy. After the end of the last world war, all countries already knew this. In particular, the three defeated countries of Britain, the Kingdom of Italy and Russia experienced it more profoundly. The reason why they joined the Holy Alliance without hesitation was to defeat the Chinese Empire in the war and be disgraced.

No one wants to lose a war, and if they do, the consequences are clear. Many countries may be plundered by the Chinese and saddled with heavy debt burdens. Or even directly exterminated. Therefore, everyone must do everything in their power to win the next war.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our enemies are strong, but we are not without chance!" Count Moltke then introduced the German tactics, which barely gave the delegates a little more confidence in their hearts. (To be continued......)
