Chapter 103 Change
"Have the Chinese been told that we should take action in Europe?" William II met his most trusted subordinates in his gorgeous palace.
Now, a series of beautiful battles fought by the Chinese National Defense Forces in the northern border have not yet ended, but the results are obvious. German military strategists have completely foresawed the future of the Sino-Russian War and also seen the future of the world.
Even in the worst case, the Far East will no longer belong to Russia. The plan to escapades in the East that Russia has worked hard for hundreds of years has been completely destroyed! The proud Russia will surely be hit hard in this war and will never recover. In Europe, the former European military police will surely be no longer there.
Faced with such a result, even the most picky people will change their attitude towards the military strength of the Chinese Empire. Everything the Chinese Defense Forces showed in this war is extremely precious to everyone who truly understands military, so that everyone has to express the awe it should have. William II is undoubtedly the same.
Now, he is even a little impressed by China's performance. He no longer worrys about head-on confrontation with Britain and France, and even looks forward to carrying out the great and shocking strategic plan with China - dismembering Russia! What a wonderful way to amazing ideas!
"No, my Majesty!" Chief of Staff of Little Moltke, the military general whom His Majesty the Emperor trusted most respectfully replied.
"The Chinese seem to be really carrying out their pre-developed plans step by step, and did not mean to let us help us at the beginning. Of course, our new military reform has not been completed and the preparations for the war have not been completed. China knows this.
In fact, in the East, their eyes are not only on the Far East, but also on Siberia, Central Asia, and even the Caucasus and Turkey! The Chinese Empire is gradually restoring the confidence of neighboring countries in this region in order to realize China's tradition in the ancient world center of the East.
I have to say that His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire is a man of the same talent and strategy as you. Of course, his greedy ambition is also as big as you!”
"No, no! My dear Chief of Staff! I want to make a statement in advance. I cannot be called greed." After hearing the comments of Moltke's weird and sarcastic comments, William II laughed cheerfully!
"As an emperor of a country, this is just my responsibility. Sitting in this position, I have to make early plans for his empire and for the future of my subjects! Germany needs land in the sun, and needs a world status that is consistent with their contribution to the world!
Great Germany! In philosophy, culture, industry, technology, and all fields, we have made contributions to the world. Why should we only hide in a corner of the inland Europe? Britain and France, they should make way for Germany's unstoppable strides, otherwise they will pay the price!
This is the future of Germany and the future of the world!”
William yelled a bold statement at his ministers with his chest and a protruding belly. Then he lowered his tone and continued:
"Of course, on such a road, Germany cannot face the world alone. It needs some friends who are with him! China is just one of the partners chosen by Germany on this road!"
...
"Haha! Partners? Yes, we and Germany are destined to be partners on the same road!"
Li Zhe admitted in the Chinese Palace.
As a challenger to the same world pattern, China also needs Germany, just as Germany also needs China. Because the rise of an emerging political force has to face huge resistance to the old force pattern, it cannot be eliminated so easily. Like Germany, China is also facing huge war pressure.
Although the expeditionary force is powerful, it cannot fight a modern war by relying solely on Li Zhe's space transportation. A future world war, the tanks, aircraft, warships, countless guns, cannons and ammunition required, it is absolutely impossible to build on the basis of China today. China needs to take advantage of the momentum. The alliance with Germany is inevitable for China's strategic choice.
War is the result of disputes over interests between countries and even political groups.
There are inseparable connections between China and Russia, between the allies and the allies, as well as the United States and China, the outside world, and the power in secret. These connections will inevitably create various conflicts of interest, and the conflicts arising from these connections will have to be resolved through a war.
War, the ultimate manifestation of human power, will inevitably have a profound impact on the history of the world.
Although the ongoing Sino-Russia War has only been a phased result, it has begun to leverage the world pattern. Russia has invested heavily in the distant East and its troops have begun to shrink in Europe! The result is that the Allies are in a passive position on the Eastern Front of Europe, and Germany and Austria have begun to take the initiative in the game in the Balkans. All of this undoubtedly changes the world pattern.
It is not certain whether the trajectory of the former World War is still open as before. Under the current situation, the original military forces of various countries are ready to become worthless overnight under the impact of new military theories and tactics that appeared in the Sino-Russia War.
The overwhelming military force of the Chinese team in the war between China and Russia not only destroyed nearly 200,000 Russian troops in the Far East, but also destroyed the confidence of all visionary military strategists in this era in the victory over the enemy in the war.
This is the first time that people have discovered that the advantages of new weapons and tactics in war are so huge that they have caused two armies of the same force to be destroyed and even wiped out when fighting! What a terrible battlefield advantage!
Faced with a new military force like China, the great powers of all countries have to be afraid of it! Without making preparations for response, people have to make more detailed preparations for the future war! After all, when fighting a war, no country is aimed at the result of failure.
The Far East has undergone tremendous changes with China's rise. It is not just the recent Sino-Russian War. This change has even begun to occur since the moment the Chinese Empire was officially established!
Once the powerful people in this area separated and the situation of each winning game disappeared. Instead, a new Chinese Empire radiated everywhere like a radiant sun!
Ryukyu, North Korea, has returned to the Chinese family system since Japan's defeat. The Ryukyu royal family officially announced its support and became a domestic vassal of the Chinese Empire. Although the Korean royal family returned from Japan did not officially support it, at this critical moment, all domestic and foreign affairs in the country were in the hands of the empire. Tang Shaoyi was temporarily appointed as the Prime Minister of Korea, and the Korean Kim Jong Kook was appointed as the Minister of Rites of Korea. Most of the people in the new cabinet of North Korea recognize themselves as subjects of the Chinese Empire.
The rebirth of the Chinese Empire firmly controlled these two regions with its military advantages and political and economic means. It is also constantly expanding its political and economic influence to the surrounding areas.
Siam, Myanmar, Vietnam, Philippines...
The rise of China's economy and economic exchanges with Central and South Asian countries are not only a degree of recovery, but also a big step forward. The joint industrial construction of coal mines and iron ore invested by the Chinese government in northern Vietnam has greatly promoted the local economic development of Vietnam and has also firmly controlled the emerging mining national capital in this surrounding area of North Vietnam to the surrounding area of China!
China's uninterrupted import of Southeast Asian rice in the early days of its founding also greatly increased the dependence of traditional Southeast Asian ethnic merchants on the Chinese economy!
With the rapid development of China's automobile and petrochemical industry, it has injected new vitality into the oil extraction and rubber planting industries in Southeast Asia, benefiting a lot from the capital of the British, French, Dutch and European powers in this region, and further encroaching on the widespread Nanyang Chinese economy and the royal family in this region.
From the second half of 1911 to the end of 1912, China imported more than 12 million barrels of crude oil from Shell Oil in the Nanyang region, creating a historical record of Shell Oil in the Nanyang region, which greatly stimulated and promoted the industrial development of Nanyang. Now, the Dutch East Indies has become one of the fastest-growing regions in the Allies' overseas colonies.
Moreover, more importantly, since 1913, China's oil consumption has shown a significant growth trend, rising at a rate of more than 30% almost every month. In previous history, no country or region's industrial economy has developed so quickly.
In fact, the rise of the world's petrochemical industry is also profoundly and changing the pattern of the world economy.
The industrial forces of emerging countries such as Germany and the United States, dominated by steel cars, are increasingly occupying the dominant force of the world economy. As the signs of the second industrial* centered on electric internal combustion engines begin to emerge, China's internal combustion engine industry, developed with huge investment in advanced technology, and its dominance in the chemical industry, has also begun to gradually become prominent.
Various cars are becoming increasingly common in the world, and airplanes, such emerging means of transportation, have brought people the possibility of dreams of flying into the sky, which has made people increasingly fascinated by them.
