As the first and second half of the Battle of Jutland came to an end, all eyes and focus naturally returned to the German High Seas Fleet. However, when dealing with this matter, Li Ningyu had already told Liu Qinghui to let
If he surrounds you but doesn't fight, he is actually cheating.
Because Li Ningyu clearly knew the next deployment of Kaiser Wilhelm II and how he would deal with the next matter after learning about the defeat of the British Navy. It can be said that the current Far East Army has stood far away from the Allied Powers group.
Very close, so close that William II could almost pull Li Ningyu over with a hook.
After all, the Allied Powers group headed by Britain has almost all declared war on the Far East Group. William II is not the only one who thinks so. You know, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, but no one would have thought that Li Ningyu’s
His appetite is huge, and his ultimate goal is to deal with the two major groups of the Entente and the Central Powers, making the Far East Group the new leader of the world.
Therefore, after receiving Wilhelm II's congratulatory letter, Li Ningyu just responded tactfully with a reply, which neither stated that he was ready to join the Allied Powers nor refused. Instead, he proposed three conditions to Wilhelm II.
(1) Although the British Home Fleet has been defeated, it is inevitable that the British authorities will come back. Therefore, the Northeast Aircraft Carrier Battle Group of the Far East Navy will continue to stay in the European North Sea region to perform temporary jurisdiction tasks. Therefore, it needs to dock at the Port of Kiel in Germany.
Maintenance, maintenance, and logistical supplies.
(2) It is hoped that the German authorities will subsequently support Mexico in North America and buy back the Mexican land that was given to the United States as war compensation from the U.S. government.
(3) The Far East Navy purchased fifteen large battleships from the German Navy, but hoped to deliver them within another year.
After receiving Li Ningyu's message, William II, who was still a little worried at first, was completely relieved, because first of all, regardless of what conditions Li Ningyu proposed, as long as Li Ningyu extended his hand, it meant that the Far East Group would inevitably fall to the Allies.
, but he didn’t know that this was Li Ningyu’s cover-up.
After raising his head and laughing for a long time, William II carefully read the conditions proposed by Li Ningyu. He had no doubts about the first point and was very willing to provide help to the Far East Navy. After all, the Far East Navy was standing in front of Germany.
Only the High Seas Fleet of the Navy can preserve its strength, but Moltke, Chief of General Staff of the German Operations Department, put forward his opinion.
"Your Majesty, although the Kiel Bay in the Baltic Sea is close to the North Sea, it is our two main naval bases, and Kiel is also the center of our German Empire's shipbuilding industry!"
Immediately understanding the other meaning of Moltke's words, William II couldn't help but have doubts, because the ports of Kiel and Hamburg were very important, but at this time, William II only thought about bringing the Far East Group over.
An even more wrong decision was made, which was to allow the Far East Navy to have free access to German seaports where the German High Seas Fleet currently docks.
Although it is different from Li Ningyu's plan, Li Ningyu's original goal has been achieved, and from a certain perspective, it is better.
The second point is naturally not a problem. William II has long known about the recent series of actions of the Far East Group in North America, so it seems to be a smooth sailing thing. However, in this matter, Li Ningyu severely manipulated William.
The second generation together.
As for the last point, there is no problem with the Far East Navy purchasing fifteen large battleships. However, when he saw that they would be delivered within one year, William II couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but he did not immediately see the problems inside.
In fact, before World War I, the German Empire ranked among the world's five major powers by virtue of its strong military strength and the results of the second industrial revolution in just over 40 years after its unification.
And it can be seen that Germany's technical level and industrial production capacity are ahead of the old imperial France, Russia, and unlike the United Kingdom, which has many overseas colonies. Although Germany's domestic economic aggregate is still not good, in World War I, even
Britain, the strongest country, dared not do what William II did and fight against several major powers in the world at the same time.
The reason why Li Ningyu chose Kiel Port was mainly because it was the German Navy submarine manufacturing base. For German submarines, Li Ningyu has always had some subconscious admiration in his heart, because once upon a time, the Germans created the only submarines.
Their underwater wonders.
But Wilhelm II finally agreed that the Far East Navy Fleet would dock at the North Naval Port in Germany, which made Li Ningyu even more happy. You must know that free access to the North Naval Port in Germany means that the Far East Navy can not only restrain the German High Seas Fleet at sea, but also on land.
Because the Far East Navy has a group of special operations soldiers that are as powerful as the Army's special forces, and what they are best at is beheading operations.
The navy's operations are different from those of the army. The army can fight in groups of three or four people, or even individually, while a large warship in the navy requires thousands of people, and everyone has their own position, so once a large number of commanders cannot be in place, then
The entire fleet will cease to exist.
In the case of Mexico, William II suffered the most serious loss, because on the third day after he agreed to Li Ningyu's conditions, the Mexican authorities directly declared war on the U.S. authorities because of repeated fruitless negotiations with the U.S. authorities on the land purchase.
Not long ago, the U.S. Ambassador to Germany just received a diplomatic document, which stated that if the United States does not return the land to Mexico, the German authorities will assist Mexico and return the land in the southwestern United States to Mexico. To a certain extent,
, Germany was just expressing its position, but everything turned into another meaning, and the United States also used this as an excuse to directly declare war on Germany.
But why did the United States only declare war on Germany instead of declaring war with other Allies? It's like a maze, but the source of everything comes from the Far East Group. Secondly, after the outbreak of World War I, the indiscriminate attacks of German naval submarines made
American warships in the Atlantic Ocean felt a huge threat.
So after seeing the French army begin to launch an offensive against the Germans on the Western Front, and taking advantage of the stalemate of the First World War, the United States, which had been reluctant to move, finally started to take action, but in the end, only Li Ningyu had the last laugh.
According to the historical trajectory, the First World War should have occurred ten years later, but it may be due to the emergence of Li Ningyu, tanks, aircraft, and aircraft carriers were born one after another in advance, which ultimately indirectly led to the early outbreak of the First World War. But fortunately
Nothing deviates much from the historical plot, it's just that the time is a little earlier.
