"My friend, thank you for your comfort. However, can you tell me the real purpose of your coming today? I think there is no need to talk in circles between us!" Marshal Tirpitz asked. He knew, #
When Quan Shichang came to visit him today, it was definitely not just a matter of comforting him. Although the personal relationship between him and #阝Shichang was pretty good, everything at this time was definitely not that simple.
"Okay! Alfred, I want to know Germany's position after the defeat of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet! What will Germany do next? Will it continue to fight?" Deng Shichang asked. #阝Shichang as the Chinese Navy
The president of the university and the former commander of the Home Fleet expressed his views on what impact it would have on China if Germany decided to withdraw from the war.
The big impact is also very clear. Last night, he had received a telegram from the Navy Ministry. Marshal Zhang Cheng, the Minister of the Navy, asked him to find out as much as possible the German government's next position and whether the war would continue.
Go on. At the same time, he also hopes that he can influence Admiral Tirpitz and make Germany firmer in its determination for war as much as possible.
Marshal Tirpitz was silent. He didn't know how to answer this question at all. Everyone in Germany had great confidence in the German High Seas Fleet. However, the final result was a disastrous defeat, which gave Germany
Emperor Wilhelm II, the German military and the German government were dealt a huge blow. There is no doubt that Germany’s confidence has been
was shaken. Although no one has proposed withdrawing from the war yet, this is almost certain. The German Army has been caught in a confrontation with the British and French forces on the Western Front and lacks the ability to continue to break through. The navy, which had high hopes, also failed.
.Under such circumstances, one can only imagine what choice Germany will make.
"My friend, did the Chinese government send you here? I know your character very well," Marshal Tirpitz said.
"Alfred, our government is indeed very concerned about this. His Majesty the Emperor of our country also attaches great importance to this. You should know that this is related to our country's overall strategy for the future!" Deng Shichang said directly.
"Thank you for your candor. However, I don't know what His Majesty the Emperor is thinking now. But I know very well that the defeat of the High Seas Fleet dealt a huge blow to His Majesty the Emperor. In addition, the Army has basically no hope of winning. Add
Shanghai's sea lanes are blocked, and now Germany's war potential
The military strength has been greatly affected. It will not be of any benefit to Germany to continue fighting. If the Allies are willing to make concessions, His Majesty the Emperor and the government may really make a decision to withdraw from the war!" Marshal Tirpitz
Said. The reason why he said this to Deng Shichang was because
A very important reason is that he did not want the war to end like this. Although the main force of the High Seas Fleet has been eliminated, the German Navy still has a certain combat capability. At least the German Navy's submarine force has always caused extreme damage to the United Kingdom.
A big blow. If China is willing to intensify its attack on Germany
If the country's support is obtained and greater concessions are made, Germany may be willing to continue the war. The German Navy may also have a chance to avenge its shame. Marshal Tirpitz has always regarded defeating the British Navy as a must-win.
He really didn't want to give up halfway on his goal!
"His Majesty Alfred, our Emperor, and the government hope that Germany can continue to fight and that we can work together to break the old world system and build a new world system led by us. This has always been our goal! Now
"Although there have been some setbacks, I believe that with our efforts, we will be able to win in the end!" Deng Shichang said.
The alliance between Germany and China is officially to defeat the Western powers and re-divide the world. However, both Germany and China hope to occupy leadership in the future world. Now, Germany's ambitions seem to be about to follow the disastrous defeat of the Navy's High Seas Fleet.
And shattered. No doubt
This is definitely not what China wants to see. Although, to a large extent, China hopes that Germany can hold back Britain, France and Russia for China, so that China can calmly deal with the great enemy of the United States. If Germany withdraws, all the Allied Powers will
The pressure is all on China.
"My friend, that's what I said. However, Germany's current national strength is no longer enough to continue this war. The people's lives are already very difficult, and we need to consider more. Perhaps, from the beginning
It was a mistake to start this war!" Marshal Tirpitz looked pitiful.
"This bastard old guy is still deliberately pretending!" Deng Shichang cursed in his heart. He knew very well that Tirpitz said these words entirely to strive for greater interests for Germany. But now, it is regarded as
China needs something from Germany, so it can only take advantage of it and let the Germans kill it severely.
"Alfred, I think we must first clarify the positions of His Majesty the Kaiser, the German government, and the German military. If Germany is willing to continue the dispute, China will not sit back and watch Germany get into trouble. Specifically,
We can discuss the situation in detail at that time. His Excellency Tang Shaoyi, Imperial Minister of Foreign Affairs, is already preparing to go to Berlin. He will take the
Arrive in the Persian Gulf on a navy warship, and then go to Berlin via the Baghdad Railway. If Germany is determined to continue fighting, we can fight side by side until we achieve the final victory. Of course, if Germany becomes timid, there is nothing China can do about it.
But we will never compromise, we will continue to fight!" Marshal Deng Shichang said.
Marshal Tirpitz nodded. China's reaction had already been expected by him. However, such national events cannot be decided. Therefore, he could not give Deng Shichang any commitment and could only reply #阝世
Chang, he will convey China's opinions to Kaiser Wilhelm II. The specific decision will be made after Kaiser Wilhelm II discusses it with the government and the military. However, from the perspective of Marshal Tirpitz himself,
, he was very happy to continue the war.
Unlike Germany's pessimism, the Allied Powers have already begun to celebrate their victory. Among the major Allied countries, the United Kingdom, the United States, France and Russia, they all regard the British Navy and the United States Allied Forces' joint defeat of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet as a unique event.
A great victory of great significance. Some optimistic people regard this victory as a turning point in this world war, claiming that from this moment on, the world will
The initiative of the World War has been transferred to the hands of the Allied Powers. Although, on the European battlefield, the German army still occupies a certain advantage. The Chinese army also has an absolute advantage on the Mexican battlefield. But they believe that these advantages will soon be lost.
The Allied Powers will defeat the Allied Powers and the evil China, completely win this world war, and return the entire world to its previous development trajectory.
On the morning of June 1, the major media outlets of the Allied Powers widely published news of the victory of the British Navy and the United States Navy that severely damaged the German High Seas Fleet and annihilated the main force of the High Seas Fleet. This made the Allied Powers, who had been in a state of tension and uneasiness since the war began,
The people were completely excited. Until the war started, the news they had heard most was the tragic defeat on the front line, how many troops were lost, which cities were occupied by the Germans or Chinese, etc. But now, they finally waited for the news of victory.
In the major cities of the Allied Powers, victory parades also broke out, as if victory was already within reach. Similarly, the governments of various countries also gained the love of the people at this moment, and their support levels skyrocketed. This is for these so-called democratic countries
For the government, it is undoubtedly the most important affirmation. With the strong support of the people, this means that they can continue to be the leader of the country. After enjoying the wonderful taste of power, no one is willing to give up their hands.
Powerful.
At 9 a.m. on June 1, Washington time, Theodore.
After Roosevelt attended a speech to the public, he returned to the office. Due to time zones, by the time the British Navy and the U.S. Navy joined forces to defeat the German Navy, it was already 7 pm in Washington. Although senior cabinet officials of the U.S. government were all there

news, but the ordinary people only learned the relevant news through the radio and newspapers the next day. Of course, this did not affect the American people to vent their excitement. Many people were celebrating the victory in front of the White House.
Parade. Before that, many of them came to the White House to pay homage to Theodore.
President Roosevelt protested against the disastrous defeat of the U.S. Army on the front in central Mexico.
Theodore.
When Roosevelt returned to his office, Vice President Woodrow.
Wilson was already waiting for him. Although, Theodore.
Roosevelt was the president of the United States, but Woodrow.
Wilson was an agent launched by the Democratic Party, and many officials in the U.S. government cabinet were also members of the Democratic Party. Therefore, Theodore.
Roosevelt always respected Woodrow.
Wilson, if there is any big issue, he is willing to work with Woodrow.
Wilson discussed. He knew that the United States could no longer fight among itself and needed to unite to defeat powerful enemies.
"Your Excellency, it seems that the people's enthusiasm has been aroused and everyone has emerged from the shadow of failure!" Woodrow.
Wilson said.
"Yes, I completely agree with you.
However, we must not forget that our enemies are still very powerful. Your Excellency, Vice President, I came to see you today because I want to discuss something with you. If successful, this may allow us to defeat our powerful enemies earlier!"
Otto Roosevelt said. In fact, he had already had this idea after learning that the British and American navies had joined forces to defeat the German Navy's High Seas Fleet. However, he first needed the support of Woodrow Wilson!
