The French parliament immediately started discussions, and voted after the discussion. The result of the vote was 234 votes in favor, 15 votes against, and 27 abstentions. According to the principle that a three-quarters majority must be passed, the parliament agreed that France would go to war against Germany and Authorizes the President of France to formally declare war on Germany.

Members who voted against represent the interests of large companies that conduct economic and trade transactions with Germany. Once France and Germany go to war, these interests will cease to exist.

Members who voted to abstain are swingers.

On this day, May 1902, 5, the President of France officially declared that the French Republic declared war on the German Empire.

In public reports, France’s reasons for declaring war are—first, the Luftwaffe bombed cities in eastern France, causing a large number of casualties, and France must respond; second, France needs to contribute to the great cause of liberating mankind.

The public reports are noble, great, and breathtaking, but the public knows nothing about the things behind them.

As soon as the news came out, both the United States and Britain were shocked. France is an important force on the European continent. When it did not help anyone, Germany and Britain could still fight China. But now, France is falling to China. Germany declared war, and the balance of power was broken in an instant.

The United Kingdom and the United States immediately sent secret missions to France to mediate, hoping that France would change its decision, but it was useless because they could not provide the technical assistance that China could provide.

What Britain and the United States felt was shock, and what Germany felt was despair. At this time, the main force of the German army was distributed in two places, one was in eastern Germany, the border between Ukraine and Poland, Poland was occupied by Germany at this time; the other was in northern Germany, in the direction of Rostock, At this time, China's plateau combat division has broken through the first German defensive belt and is attacking the second defensive belt.

France happened to be in southern Germany, which meant that if the French army drove straight in, the German army would be powerless to resist. At the German Supreme Command, Moltke was racking his brains on how to deploy troops to defend against the attack of the French army in the south.

The British army can’t count on it, and the U.S. military has no way to ask for help from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Will not help Germany.

After thinking about it, Moltke can only recruit troops from the people in southern Germany. If he wants to block the attack of the French army, he needs at least 100 million German troops. However, many places in southern Germany are industrially developed areas, and the German Ruhr industry The district is located in this area. If a large-scale military force is recruited in this area, it means that skilled workers will be reduced. If industrial production cannot keep up, the war will be completely lost.

Little Mao Qi thought about it, so he could only go to William II to discuss it. When he came to William II's bedroom, a waiter came over and said cautiously: "Little General Mao Qi, Your Majesty is very angry. If your matter is not urgent , please come back later.”

Little Mao Qi frowned, "What is His Majesty angry about, or is it because of France's declaration of war?"

"It doesn't seem to be. If it is, there is no need for him to get angry at Hoffenheim."

"Get angry at Hoffenheim?" Little Mao Qi was very surprised. He first wondered where Hoffenheim came from, and then wondered why William II would get angry at him.

The waiter shook his head silently, "I don't know either, I just know, don't go in and talk to His Majesty now, or it will be miserable."

Little Maoqi could only sigh softly, and left the bedroom of William II. It turned out that the reason why William II was angry with Hoffenheim was because Hoffenheim bombed a small town in eastern France and designed to shoot down a J-Hoffenheim. 25.

According to Hoffenheim's original plan, these two things should completely push France to the opposite side of China and let France declare war on China, but unexpectedly, the plot has a big reversal, and France has declared war on Germany.

When William II saw that the plan that took countless painstaking efforts actually helped China, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood and died. It happened that Hoffenheim returned to Berlin at this time, so William II called Hoffenheim to him and reprimanded him.

The voice of William II's reprimand was so loud that the waiters outside the door heard it, but all he heard were William II's words calling Hoffenheim "incompetent" and "no-gooder", and other words were not clear.

At this moment, suddenly a group of people came over. The waiter saw it and recognized it. It was the German Foreign Minister, Methanes. The waiter did not recognize the people behind Methanes.

The waiter hurriedly walked up to Methanes, first bowed and saluted, and then said in a low voice, "Your Majesty is getting angry, Mr. Methanis, what's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Methanes frowned, and said seriously: "This matter is very important, and we must not wait until tomorrow. I want to see His Majesty immediately."

The waiter frowned, thinking, didn't Methanes ask me to scold me!But he didn't dare to disobey Messenes's words, so he could only go to see William II cautiously.

The waiter gently pushed open the door, and saw Hoffenheim standing upright in the open space, his face full of dissatisfaction, and William II sitting on a chair beside him, panting heavily, apparently tired of cursing , at "halftime".

When William II saw the waiter walking in, his fierce eyes fell on the waiter, like a hungry wolf staring at a brand-new sheep. The waiter was shocked and walked quickly to William II's door. In front of him, he said softly: "Your Majesty, Foreign Minister Messenis is asking to see you."

"What did he see me for?"

The waiter just wanted to say "he didn't say anything", but he swallowed the words immediately, because he suddenly thought that if he said such a thing, William II would definitely be furious and reprimanded himself "why didn't you report the matter before?" Ask clearly first," so the waiter said carefully: "That's right, Messenius only said that he has important matters, but he didn't specify what matters."

William II thought for a while, said "Let him in", then looked at Hoffenheim, and said angrily: "Get lost, find a way to wash away your shame."

Hoffenheim gave a military salute with all its strength, and then strode out, already thinking about a way to wash away the shame.

The waiter came out from the presence of William II with the mentality of escaping from death, went outside, and invited Methanes to go in.
