Oh, if it's convenient for everyone, let's vote for all the works of the year.
"Whew...... it's finally warm." Sitting in the jeep, Wang Shizhen rubbed his hands, pointed to the Sachhausen Street in front, turned his head and said to Wu Yingke, who had just come: "Yingke, it's your first time coming to Frankfurt, right?" The barbecue sausage here is good, how about going down and walking two steps with the old man? β
"The chief of staff is affectionate, how dare he disobey."
After the jeep stopped, the two of them got out of the car, and several plainclothes bodyguards and German officers immediately got out of the car behind and followed closely.
Although this is Frankfurt, what is the safe place in Europe at the moment, not to mention Wang Shizhen's special identity, if there is really a problem in Germany, I am afraid that Germany's face will be lost, so the German General Staff also sent agents to protect him.
With the end of the naval battle of the Ionian Sea with the victory of the Central Powers, the haze over Germany gradually dissipated, although the Entente forces were still attacking Paris, but after Spain and Italy were too busy to take care of themselves, Britain and France were already at the end of the crossbow is an indisputable fact, although the German army once fell into a bitter defensive battle because of the command and strength after occupying Paris, but also because this defensive war consumed a lot of Entente vitality, plus the United States was dragged in the Pacific and the mainland, manpower advantages and industrial capacity could not be fully used by Britain and France, With Hindenburg and Ludendorff coming to power, the Germans had begun to regain the initiative.
The war is on the rise, but the damage to Europe has not faded, the streets of Frankfurt are now few and far between, and the famous sausage shop is no longer busy, only the factories scattered throughout the city are still busy, and the workers are seizing all the time to produce military supplies for the front line.
After the boss nervously glanced at the officers and bodyguards who followed behind the two, he carefully handed the roasted ones to the two of them, and he didn't dare to collect the money, so Wu Yingke had to give him a few marks and continued to walk forward.
"Well, I've heard that Frankfurt tastes good, not bad." Wang Shizhen bit beautifully, if it weren't for the bodyguard who followed behind him, I'm afraid no one would believe that this thin, kind-looking old man turned out to be the deputy chief of general staff of the Third Army of China, because of his decisive and ruthless methods when commanding the "weeding" operation, he was also nicknamed "Chinese Machete" by foreigners, this nickname not only established his status in the army, but also the people who loved him and hated him in China are still fighting with each other.
Those who say that he is good think that it is precisely because he broke the chaos and set things right that he liberated the vast number of serfs and returned the land to the people, while those who hated him thought that he held high the butcher's knife and killed innocents indiscriminately, wiped out all the big capitalists and landlords in the country, destroyed the elite of the people, and also cut off the hope of re-rising.

Seeing that Wu Yingke had been looking at him, Wang Shizhen smiled: "Yingke, you won't come here to see my old man's appearance." β
Wu Yingke smiled slightly, but there was an indescribable sourness in his heart, in fact, many people know that Wang Shizhen's health has always been very poor, and he is not adapted to the weather here in Europe, he has been suffering from minor illnesses in the past few years, and he lay down for a few days just a month ago, but in order to grasp the movements of the German army and the situation in Europe, he still gritted his teeth and insisted.
"The chief of staff is really right, the emperor knows that you are working hard in Europe, and you usually don't have the right appetite for eating and drinking, so he asked me to bring you some local products."
"Hey, it's really old, and the emperor is worried." Wang Shizhen sighed, clapped his hands and threw away the paper in the bag, then returned to the topic and said, "Yingke is coming back this time, is it related to the German Navy?" β
There were few pedestrians along the way, and the two had been talking in Chinese, so they were not afraid of losing secrets, so Wu Yingke nodded hurriedly: "Yes, and we also have to negotiate about the Maltese Islands." β
"Oh? What happened to Malta? β
"We have taken the Maltese Islands, and now we are building airfields and docks, but since we have entered the Mediterranean, we always have to say hello to the German Navy, and the German Navy has always wanted to get our planes, so the emperor asked me to find out."
"...... emperor wants to sell the plane?" Wang Shizhen's face was a lot more solemn, and now the thing that can be used in China is probably the army, and the army is more ahead of the navy and air force, so when he heard this, he was a little puzzled.
"Don't worry, Chief of Staff, how can the emperor do such a short-sighted thing, but Germany is our ally after all, and if we openly refuse the request this time, I'm afraid it will give someone a handle and chill the hearts of other allies." Wu Yingke said: "The emperor and the prime minister have said that no matter how strong we are, we need allies, and if we make everyone feel guilty about this matter, it will not be conducive to the distribution of interests after the war."
Moreover, the Ministry of Intelligence spied on the news last month that Germany has made a lot of progress in engines, and after we lead the way in front, there is no need for Europe to make detours, so Chang Daren and they estimate that Europe will be able to come up with better planes in three more years. β
"Well, that's a good point, but this plane is ......."
Wu Yingke hurriedly explained: "The emperor didn't plan to sell it before the end of the war, and now our own production is not enough, and even if we want to sell it, I heard that it is a special external model, and the naval model is not at all." Of course, I don't know much about the specifics, but the last time I went back, I heard Commander Long say that this kind of aircraft is completely different from ours, much worse than ours, but better than those developed by Germany and Europe themselves. β
"Worse than us? A little better than Europe? After Wang Shizhen thought about it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he high-fived: "What a good idea!" β
"Yes, as long as we come up with something better than Germany's own production, even if the German army does not buy it, other countries will definitely buy ours, so that the sales of German aircraft will be suppressed by us, and if they buy ours, then their own production will not be able to rise, and it will also hit the enthusiasm of their German technical department."
Wu Yingke continued: "Then again, if we can sell the aircraft, then according to the current projections, the total number of orders in the world is likely to exceed 5,000 aircraft, and this output can maintain the current several aircraft factories in China for several years even if there is no war, which can help them survive the post-war economic adjustment and tide over the difficulties." β
Wang Shizhen's eyes narrowed, Wu Yingke was able to say this, which made him feel that he usually underestimated this Admiralty political staff officer, and suddenly smiled: "Yingke, it seems that you are really wrong to wear a military uniform, and you should engage in the economy with Liang Dunyan and them." β
"Hehe, Chief of Staff, you are laughing at me, just my two hands, how can I take on this heavy responsibility."
After avoiding a group of people who went to the relief station, Wang Shizhen continued: "Yingke, Yuanshou and Long Guozhang, have you set a time to start in the Caribbean? "I don't really know that." Wu Yingke shook his head, knowing that Wang Shizhen would never be untargeted, and immediately asked, "What did the chief of staff hear?" β
Shizhen glanced at several bodyguards and German officers behind him, and after walking side by side with Wu Yingke, he whispered: "The German army is now discussing the situation very fiercely if we enter the Caribbean, some people want us to start a complete solution to the British and American navies as soon as possible, while some people want to join forces with Austria and other countries to test the pressure and prevent us from entering the Caribbean, because then the Atlantic Ocean will be occupied by us, so that even if we win, we will lose a lot of interests because the German navy has done nothing." β
"Oh? So who has the upper hand? β
"It should be...... Latter! Wang Shizhen thought about it and said affirmatively: "Germany has lost too many opportunities because it has been pulled on the side of Europe, and now we have taken the Maltese Islands in one go, which is equivalent to stucking the neck of the Mediterranean, and Germany can't change anything, so they are more and more resentful of us, I heard that even Wilhelm II has recently changed his mind about protecting the ship and asked the German Navy to take offensive action, and I also heard that he summoned Tirpitz not long ago!" β
"Oh? Did he want to get Tirpitz out of the mountains again? β
"I don't know about this, but Scheer is obviously too conservative, and at this critical time, I can't rule out the possibility that he will let Tirpitz come out and take the helm of the Navy again." Wang Shizhen said: "There is another thing, you must also remind Yuan Shou after you go back, it has been rumored in Europe that Italy is likely to return to the Allies in the near future." β
"What!"
If it weren't for the words of Wang Shizhen, who has been in Europe, in and out of the German General Staff and hanging out, Wu Yingke would definitely scold the other party for being an idiot, Italy is a grass on the wall, and it is not wrong to be a soft bone, but it has been fighting with the alliance for so long as an Entente country, and there is not a small amount of blood on its hands, how can it return to the alliance? !
"Hehe......." Seeing that it didn't attract the attention of the surroundings, Wang Shizhen smiled indifferently: "Don't make a fuss, I also heard about this matter, but I haven't confirmed it yet." But one thing is clear, if Italy surrenders, it will definitely come to Germany and not us! And do you think that if both Germany and Austria-Hungary supported it, and Italy promised to pay some price, the emperor and we would have a way to prevent him from coming back? β
Wu Yingke squirmed twice, and found that he really couldn't find a way to veto.
For the Italian Emperor Emanuele III, as long as he convinces Germany, pays some price to the allied countries, and then imposes all the charges on the Italian prime minister and government, accusing them of betraying the allies, colluding with the enemy, and losing the car to protect the commander, let alone himself, I am afraid that the emperor and the prime minister can only accept the return of Italy!
In the final analysis, as long as the war does not end for a day, and the alliance does not want to have another enemy, if it can draw the previous Entente countries to its side, it will be seen as a victory rather than a defeat, and if the alliance countries agree and China opposes, then it will appear too domineering and leave a tongue for future things.
And, that's politics!
Wu Yingke didn't like politics, so he said coldly: "If Germany really does this, it will be tantamount to saying that it is already treating us as an opponent!" β
"yes......." Wang Shizhen took a breath, took out a cigarette and lit it and sighed: "Wilhelm II has always dreamed of ruling the world, but now that the war is about to end, not only did he not get much benefit, but he is still relying on us for blood transfusion, I am afraid that I will be dissatisfied, not to mention that now whether we fight the Caribbean or not, the three pillars of Britain, the United States and France are also grasshoppers after the autumn, and people's hearts are ...... at this time I'm afraid it's going to start alive too. β
Wu Yingke nodded, and was about to continue talking, only to see a jeep suddenly driving here, and the bodyguards and German guards pulled out their guns one after another and were just about to protect the two behind them, when the liaison officer assigned by China to the German army had already jumped out of the car.
"Chief of Staff, General Wu, Your Majesty, please rush back immediately."
"Oh? What's wrong? Wang Shizhen raised his eyebrows, it must be a big thing to make the ambassador to Germany so anxious.
"I just got the news that the German Fifth Army suddenly moved east along the Bordi Canal three days ago, and this morning it captured Dijon, an important town in eastern France!"
