Wilhelm II did not expect, or he would not have expected it from this point of view, that the revision of Britain's foreign policy towards Germany was not because Britain had changed its attitude towards other countries, the British had always been like this, but only that the status of Germany had changed, and that Germany had become the most important power in Central Europe through several wars of unification, and that the centripetal force of a single nation, when the political situation was stable, had burst out with incomparable productivity, and the popularization of knowledge had achieved a large number of industrial workers, Stable domestic market and actively open up the foreign trade market, the Germans almost do not buy foreign products, import and export trade are maintained in a huge surplus, such a country, in the case of military and economic strength is extremely strong, naturally to be regarded by the British as a thorn in the flesh, France, has completely declined, lost to Germany in the past, actually lost to the East China, is already a complete decline is not the appearance, Austria-Hungary, the dualist empire, the domestic national and racial problems, is the biggest problem, the dualist empire has no subject nation and no unified language, no stable country, it is impossible to go out to fight for hegemony, as for tsarist Russia, the British look at Russia, about the same as the Chinese look at the four yi, empty force but not good at production, it is difficult to become a big climate, the rest of the small countries, the land area is so little, the depth is not enough, how to look at it is cannon fodder, and a country like Germany, the land area in Europe, is already very broad, and there is an outlet to the sea, This is completely a big problem for the British, and he is now beginning to regret why he did not win over Russia in time and Austria-Hungary began to restrict Germany, although the rapid recovery of France after the Franco-Prussian War was largely due to British aid.

Wilhelm II was puzzled by the British taboo and coercion of Germany because of the change in Germany's national strength, he did not feel that this coercion was because of Germany's strong national strength and made the British from support to neutrality to vigilance and finally hijacked, but thought that it was the British side's contempt for his new young emperor of Germany, Wilhelm II was a little disabled, and his self-esteem was particularly strong, so he was very annoyed that this contempt was regarded as an insult to himself, so he didn't want to waste time with Zeng Jize, Wilhelm II nodded to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs said directly to Zeng Jize, "Mr. Chancellor, you and our country have been friends for many years, you should be very clear about our German character, we don't like to go around in circles, of course, diplomacy, we must use time and energy to grind, grind out more possibilities, but between our two countries, from the Queen Mother and His Majesty Emperor Wilhelm I, the friendship established is unbreakable, there is no conflict of interest between our two countries, the only conflict," He said a joke that was not very funny, "It's just that the distance between our two countries is too far, and it's a little difficult to rely on each other and help each other with such a long distance." ”

Zeng Jize blinked, An Lan turned his head and glanced at Zeng Jize, both of them understood that this time the meeting was not that the Germans had changed their minds and wanted to forgive China for releasing no longer buying warships, but that the Germans were starting to get anxious about the current situation.

Zeng Jize slowly leaned on the cushions of the sofa, "Yes, I very much agree with this kind of statement, the Chinese are the most particular about friendship, Germany, and our Qing Dynasty did not have any interest disputes, and in the past, there was no hurtful feelings for the Chinese people, in this regard, the image of Britain and France in the eyes of the Chinese people, I have to say, is very bad." ”

Of course, the Germans will be anxious, from the beginning of the Berlin Conference to the present, the process that the Germans want has not been smooth, and the countries have been the same as China at the beginning, waiting for the price to sell, holding on to the middle, and waiting until the countries get what they want, they have made their positions clear, and began to turn to the countries, to measure whether a country is strong, not to see how vast the country's territory is, how strong the army is, how rich the country is, of course, these are also very important assessment factors, but the most important thing is in international affairs, It's to see how many countries are willing to stand with you.

Russia, from the Russia of this era, and the Russia of later generations, why the country is strong in armed forces, but has not been looked down upon, the most important reason is that after the disintegration, it has lost most of the little brothers who help wave the flag, and they are alone in international affairs, and they need to roll up their sleeves to go out of the horse for any small thing, which is not in line with the noble identity of a big country, Britain's national strength is of course the strongest, and similarly, his allies, or in the most direct words, the horses, are the most.

Among the 16 countries attending the meeting, almost seven countries have said that they will support the British side to support Portugal's sovereignty in the Congo River Basin, and urge Germany and France to quickly recognize Portugal's dominance in the Congo River Basin. It is to knock out a gap in the British-led international order.

So now for this place, countries have almost formed three camps, of course, it is normal for each country to have its own ghosts in their hearts, is it true that the country that stands with Britain is really fighting for an irrelevant Congo River for a declining Portugal? The big guys have taken a fancy to that place, but they are just embarrassed to speak, and if Portugal eats it and can't digest it, won't it be handed over to other countries to share? If it goes into the pockets of France, it will be really difficult to get involved, and from this point of view, it is better to give the Congo to Belgium than to France. The rise of Germany, not the rise of peace, always have to knock on the invasion and threat of other countries, the neighboring countries of Northern Europe are especially uneasy about the rise of Germany, although it is a meeting on your territory, Germany is still entertaining with delicious food and drink, but I just want to follow the British to suppress you to win more living space for yourself, this is not about feelings, but only about interests, national interests.

The attitude of the most important powers is critical, and the Russians are still not speaking. (To be continued.) )
