Chapter 1052 Pessimistic Germany
There is no doubt that China is the most beneficial to stabilize Germany and let Germany continue the war. However, the Germans are not fools. Once Germany feels that it is more beneficial to withdraw from the war now, the Germans will likely make peace with the Allies for their own interests. For this reason, China must let the Germans see the benefits of continuing the war. This means that China must pay a certain price. Although this is a bit unacceptable, it has to do so for longer-term interests. Otherwise, China will lose more!
"Then, we need to send people to contact Germany now. I think the news of the failure of the High Seas Fleet cannot be concealed. Now, Germany is still in the early morning. After dawn, Germany will definitely be in chaos. We need to help German Emperor William II and the German government, and firmly resolve to continue fighting!" Wang Yuze said.
"Your Majesty, why don't you go to Germany!" said Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi. To strengthen the German determination to fight, China will definitely need to send heavyweight ministers to the forefront. Cabinet Prime Minister Wu Tingfang is a good candidate, but now Wu Tingfang is old and is already 70 years old. Although he is still energetic, the government has a lot of things to be busy with, and he really can't get away. In this way, Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi will become the best candidate.
"Okay! Lord Tang, you will go to Germany as the empire's plenipotentiary and contact the German Emperor William II and the German government. When necessary, the empire can pay a certain price, as long as Germany can continue the war!" Wang Yuze said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi nodded. He also knew that this mission mission was quite arduous. If it could not be completed, it would put the empire in a great crisis.
"Your Majesty, President of the Navy University, Marshal Zang Shichang is currently in Germany. We can let Marshal Deng Shichang contact the German Navy. Although the German Navy's high seas fleet was defeated, the German Navy still has great influence in the German government and German Emperor William II. If they can be allowed to persist in fighting, it may affect William II!" said Navy Secretary Zhang Cheng. When the British and German Navy had signs of a decisive battle, China sent a naval observation team to Germany to observe this maritime decision.
War. After all, this is very likely to be the largest confrontation between battleships in human history. Although the development direction of the Chinese Navy has been placed on aircraft carriers, the large-scale confrontation between battleships will still provide great reference for the Chinese Navy. What's more, this is also a good opportunity to understand the German Navy and the British Navy. If China wants to become the world overlord, both the British Navy and the German Navy will be China's enemy. The president of the Navy University and the Marshal Deng Shichang are the leader of the Observatory Group this time!
"Yes. Marshal Zan has also studied in Germany and has a close relationship with the generals of the German Navy!" Wang Yuze nodded and said, "In addition, contact the Ambassador to Germany and let him touch the specific situation in Germany!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" said Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi.
"Everyone, from now on, the Empire will face a great crisis. The Imperial Army, Navy and Air Force will further mobilize. Stabilizing the Germans is just to buy time for us. If we really want to win this war, we still need our own strength. I hope that in the next war, the Imperial army will perform better and win this war for the Empire!" Wang Yuze said in a deep voice. Now China must race against time and make plans for Germany to withdraw from the war alone. Otherwise, China will face a more severe situation.
This is very unfavorable for China, which is striving to gain world hegemony.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone replied loudly. As the top leaders of the empire, they all know how long China has prepared for this war. It has been almost a year since the war broke out. China has now completely entered a state of war, and has won steadily on the battlefield. It seems that it is not very far away from China's complete victory. But now there is such a variable, which is already serious and critical to China's future strategy. Therefore, China now needs to burst out stronger war strength. And this requires the unity of the imperial government and the military.
Next, the imperial government began to actively intervene in industrial production and transfer all war-related factories into the wartime system. In addition, a large number of metallurgical, chemical and mechanical factories will be established to further expand the empire's war potential. In terms of the army, the army will first start a new round of mobilization. A large number of young people of appropriate age will receive notices to go to the military camp to receive training for recruits. This time, the Imperial Army will once again arm the 100-infantry division. If necessary, more troops will be formed. The empire has sufficient human resources, and in the army, especially
In terms of infantry, an army can be armed that scares the whole world. The various arsenals of the army have also begun to work overtime to produce weapons and ammunition, especially heavy weapons such as tanks, armored vehicles and artillery, which have been put to the top. In terms of the Navy, the battleships, aircraft carriers, heavy cruisers, and other warships that the Empire is building have accelerated. Many small warships and military transport ships are handed over to private shipyards for production to speed up the construction. In terms of the Air Force, new fighter jets and bombers have also begun to intensive test flights and will be finalized as soon as possible.
At the same time, the Imperial Army also began to actively prepare for a new round of offensives on the Mexican battlefield, completely driving the US out of Mexico, and even attacking the United States in one fell swoop. In addition, other troops of the Army also began to increase troops to Siberia, Central Asia, South Asia, Australia and Egypt. In terms of the Navy, in addition to the main force still hunting light warships and submarines of the US Navy's West Coast Fleet in the Eastern Pacific, the main force of the Indian Ocean Fleet also began to further oppress the survival space of the small fleet left by the US Navy in India and Australia. Everything is for China to take the initiative in the war.
In the early morning of June 1, 1912, Berlin time, although this morning was no different from usual, there seemed to be a kind of uneasiness flowing in the air. The news of the German Navy's high seas fleet's defeat, although German Emperor William II asked for confidentiality, how could such a big thing be completely confidential? Especially in the military ports in western Germany, some warships that were damaged at the beginning of the decisive battle have returned to the military port. The hulls covered with bullet marks and white burning caused exclamations from the local residents.
In addition, some agents hidden in Germany from Allied powers began to spread the news that the German naval high seas fleet was destroyed everywhere, which made people panic. Although most Germans did not believe this, they had strong confidence in the German high seas fleet and believed that the German navy would definitely win a brilliant victory for Germany. However, as the German government remained silent on this matter, the confidence of the German people began to gradually decline. Gradually, many people began to doubt whether the Imperial Navy's high seas fleet was really defeated.
At 9 a.m., a car with the Chinese flag and the Chinese Embassy logo in Germany drove to the German Admiralty. At the door, the driver showed his ID to the guards and waited for less than two minutes before being allowed to enter. When the car drove into the German Admiral Marshal Tirpitz was already waiting on the steps in front of the building. However, the current Marshal Tirpitz looked so tired.
The car was steady, and a naval officer walked out of the co-pilot and then opened the rear door. An old man with a somewhat old face but a little sharp eyes walked out of the car. He was Deng Shichang, the president of the Chinese Navy University and the Navy Marshal.
"Welcome, my friend!" After seeing Marshal Deng Shichang, Marshal Tirpitz took the initiative to welcome him. At the beginning, when #Zhan Shichang and other officers of the Chinese Navy were studying in Germany, they had already met and had a good relationship.
"My friend, are you okay?" After the two hugged each other, Marshal Deng Shichang asked directly.
Marshal Tirpitz's eyes suddenly dimmed: "My friend, I'm fine. However, Germany is not good now. The German navy is not good now!"
Tirpitz's words showed a strong pessimism. The main force of the German Navy's high seas fleet was annihilated, which was a very big blow to him.
After the two came to Marshal Tirpitz's office, Tirpitz seemed even more decadent. After receiving the news of the defeat of the High Seas Fleet, he could not fall asleep all night last night, so he was in a very bad mental state now.
"Alfred, I was also shocked after hearing the news of the High Seas Fleet's battle report. However, I think the High Seas Fleet is very brave. If the British and Americans had not joined forces and used despicable tactics, the High Seas Fleet might have won!" Deng Shichang said.
"Yes. But there is no despicable or despicable war, only winners and losers. Now, Germany is the loser! The powerful naval fleet that Germany has built for decades was destroyed in one day. At the same time, Germany's determination was also destroyed!" Marshal Tirpitz's face was full of loneliness. He was called the father of Germany's naval, and now, the high seas fleet was defeated miserably, just like his child was killed.
