Wilhelm II is a very handsome young man, the emperor of Germany, only thirty-one years old this year, black and brown hair obediently combed, bright eyes and bright, a little indifferent, this is a bit strange, the general head of state on such an occasion, especially in front of the dignitaries of many countries, grace and generosity are naturally needless to mention, but such an indifferent and indifferent look, in fact, is a little strange, this is not quite like a young and effective monarch suitable performance.

Zeng Jize turned his head and glanced at An Lan, no matter what, Emperor Wilhelm II's performance shows that the situation in Germany is not optimistic, whether in foreign affairs or domestic affairs, there are some difficult things that Wilhelm II can't let go.

Wilhelm II walked slowly to the center of the hall, the music stopped, and next to him stood the newly appointed Chancellor, Count Leo von Caprivi, the second chancellor of the German Empire, whose previous position was Minister of the Navy, and the Minister of the Navy, naturally a natural colonial expander, he had worked hard to win the German navy to the sea, and this view coincided with the idea of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

However, compared with China, Germany certainly does not have any problems in naval technology, but they have the biggest geopolitical difficulty, that is, they have to face the reality that the European balance of power that the British have worked hard to maintain has already dominated the world in the navy, and no one is allowed to challenge their own persuasion.

The German Foreign Minister began to announce the opening of the meeting, and the Kaiser sat down indifferently and made a speech that was not very enthusiastic, and in general, such a very official occasion would not say many important things, but it was rare for the Kaiser to make such a seemingly tasteless and emotionless speech, and many people already wondered whether the civil servant who wrote for the Kaiser was deducted from his salary, so this article was written so dryly.

After the Kaiser's speech, a not very brilliant speech actually won bursts of applause, and French Prime Minister Baptiste actually took the lead in standing up and applauding, expressing his praise for the Kaiser's speech, this is politics, as long as it is the opinion expressed by allies or teammates, they all support it unreservedly.

The prime minister stood up, and naturally all the French delegations stood up and applauded, the French were so pretentious, and other countries were embarrassed to stand, and they all stood up one after another, and gave warm applause to the cold speech of the German Emperor Wilhelm II, and the audience was thunderous, and the German emperor, who was originally very cold, showed a faint smile at this time, and shook hands with all countries one by one accompanied by the foreign minister.

The first is of course the United Kingdom, the current Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom is the grandmother of William II, for the United Kingdom, William II has very complex emotions in it, although there must be some problems between the two countries now, but as the mother's homeland, William II still has a deep affection for the United Kingdom.

The second is France, the paradox of the Berlin Conference this time, in the previous efforts of France to applaud the Kaiser's speech encouragement, you can see a little clue, you must know that Germany and France are considered to be offended, probably useless The shame of a country, than the emperor of a country was captured, and then the head of the empire was crowned emperor in the largest palace in his own capital, is it still greater? But now, the two countries are actually united, in order to resist the grandmother of the German emperor, the world is really crazy here.

So this is politics, the national interest is the highest, any feelings can be used as an appendage of the national interest, but it is never possible to sacrifice or damage the national interest because of feelings, although Wilhelm II is young, he also knows this, and after greeting France, Wilhelm II quickly came to Zeng Jize.

A smile appeared on his face, and he took the lead in stretching out his right hand towards Zeng Jize, his left hand was placed on his side and not taken out, "Is Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother of your country okay?" ”

"Thank you for your question," Zeng Jize first bowed, and then stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Wilhelm II, "Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager of the Great Qing Dynasty is very healthy, she entrusted me to extend her most sincere greetings to His Majesty the Emperor, wishing you a happy thirtieth birthday, and I hope you can continue to form a friendly partnership with China, she is also very grateful," Zeng Jize looked around and raised his voice, "You and the German Empire can invite us to the Qing Dynasty to participate in this very grand meeting, This will greatly help the two countries to continue to play a good role in the affairs of the world. In addition, I have specially brought a personal gift from Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother, hoping that I can present it to you at a convenient time. ”

The smile on the corner of Wilhelm II's mouth deepened, "Thank you for the gift from the Empress Dowager, I had a pleasant meeting with the Empress Dowager many years ago, and she never seemed to treat me as a child," he accentuated the tone of the word "child", "It's a pity that we haven't met again for all these years, it's okay," he nodded to An Lan, the ambassador to Germany behind Zeng Jize, and said, "Your country's diplomats are very reliable and have conveyed a lot of useful news to us." ”

An Lan bowed in thanks, and the Chinese delegation bowed together and said in Chinese, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor." ”

The voice of the mountain echoed in the hall, and it was endless, such a mighty momentum could not be done by other countries, and only the officials of the Oriental countries who pursued etiquette and rules could be so uniform. Japan should be okay, but they don't have so many people, such majesty and humility and deference are indeed what the German emperor needs the most, Wilhelm II was very happy, at this time he didn't stop smiling slightly, he was already laughing, his face was slightly red, he looked around at the Chinese official in front of him and nodded, and continued, "Thank you, I hope you can spend a good time in Berlin, Mr. Chancellor," he stretched out his hand to Zeng Jize again, "Then please when necessary, Let's have afternoon tea together. ”

Wilhelm II left the Chinese delegation and re-engaged in greetings with the representatives of various countries, obviously, there were Chinese holding it, Wilhelm II's interest was obviously much higher, the representatives of various countries were some whispering, some had complicated faces, they knew one thing very well, that is, the Chinese, not came to play soy sauce just to see what others had to say, but always for some interests, ready to speak, support, oppose.

"See?" Zeng Jize said softly to An Lan behind him, "Although we don't speak, who dares to ignore us?" (To be continued.) )
