Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 1184
Although Germany today has become a vassal of China to some extent, what does that matter?Today's Germans see the fact that the country's economy is on the mend.People's lives are improving, and living standards have even surpassed those before World War I.With the help of China, the German navy, which had disappeared to some extent, reappeared. Under the training of Chinese instructors, the appearance of the German army has also undergone profound changes. Aren't these fanatical lunatics who want to "sweep the world and spread the iron-blooded spirit of Germany" to the Germans who yearn for peace and stability?
Today, relying on China's help, Germany has to some extent realized the ideal of a "rich country and strong army" for the post-World War II generation. For the Germans, it is a great irony.

After talking for a while, President House may feel a little tired, so he called the attendants to bring chairs, and sat down with everyone on the lawn in the garden to rest.When House sat down, the careful Hoyer noticed that there seemed to be a trace of unconscious pain on the president's face.

"What's wrong with you? Do you feel uncomfortable?" Hoyer noticed the strangeness of the president and asked with concern.

Ribbentrop got up and wanted to help House, but House smiled and waved to him, signaling that it was okay.

"Maybe I ate too much at noon." House said.

Just as Ribbentrop was about to return to his seat, House's smile froze suddenly, and he was shocked.He rushed to the president's side with a stride, and supported House's violently trembling body.

House grabbed his hand. "I, why can't I see?"

His hands became extremely cold, and Hoyer's heart fell into an ice cellar.

"The president is poisoned! Bring water!" Ribbentrop yelled, his eyes tearing open.

"Call the doctor!" Hoyer also yelled!
Hearing the roar of the two ministers, the guards immediately dispersed like a frying pan, and ran in all directions. Soon, a panting guard came back with a glass of water in his hand. Hoyer took the cup and was about to hand it to the president, but House opened his mouth wide and his eyes seemed to pop out of their sockets. He tightly grasped Hoyer's hand, and he straightened up Stretched, then suddenly went limp.

Hoyer stared blankly at all this, the glass full of water slipped from his hand and fell on the grass.

Hoyer let out a howl that can only be seen when a beast is dying. He held the dead president's head tightly in his arms and cried bitterly.

Beijing.

"On July 1924, 7, German President Howes died suddenly at his official residence at the age of 13. Regarding the cause of the president's death, the German side announced it as a "sudden cerebral hemorrhage", but there is no pathological report, so the real cause cannot be determined. According to our According to people's investigation, House died suddenly while walking in the official residence with the Minister of Finance and Minister of Foreign Affairs after lunch. The medicine and water, but House died before taking it. According to the person in charge of the embalming, House's eyes were red after death, and the body was covered with strange red spots, and it decomposed quickly, which should be a sign of poisoning death " Zhao Bingjun, director of the Security Bureau, reported to the emperor, "The German Foreign Ministry has sent a message of condolence this morning."

"Germany is blocking the news." Guan Xuqing frowned, "They don't want to cause turmoil, but it's probably useless to do so. The news will still be spread."

"Are you sure it wasn't done by our people?"

"We can absolutely guarantee this!" Mao Renfeng said loudly, "Our people in Germany will never do such a thing without authorization!"

"Communicate with the European Department immediately and let them confirm whether their people are involved!" Zhao Bingjun ordered Mao Renfeng loudly.

"No, it's not our people who did it, because our people don't need to do such stupid things. Poisoning the German president will not do us any good." Guan Xuqing stopped Mao Renfeng and said to Zhao Bingjun, "House He is soft-boned and has always been friendly with our country, the person who poisoned him can only be the one who regards House as a stumbling block."

"Our work in Germany has such a big arsenic leak." Zhao Bingjun took out a handkerchief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and sat down on a chair.

"The remnants of those **** are doing this at this time. The purpose is nothing more than to take advantage of the economic crisis to spread to Germany and create turmoil when the German people are unstable. They may even use this matter to make a fuss and drive a wedge between our country and Germany. so that they can take the opportunity to seize power." Zhao Bingjun looked at the emperor and said, "Besides this, there is no other possibility."

"If there is chaos in Germany and our business people and industries in Germany are affected, it will be a big trouble." Mao Renfeng said worriedly.

After hearing Mao Renfeng's words, the officials of the Security Bureau present also looked worried.

"It's a blessing in disguise, but safety is not a blessing?" Guan Xuqing looked at everyone and said calmly, "Everything has two sides. This matter seems to be a bad thing now, but from another point of view, it can also be said to be a bad thing." Good thing."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Bingjun asked anxiously.

Guan Xuqing smiled, picked up the phone on the table, talked to someone for a while, then put down the phone, and said to Zhao Bingjun and others: "The matter is clear, the situation is developing in a direction that is favorable to the empire, but just Even I didn't expect it to happen so quickly."

Germany, Berlin, Chancellor's residence.

In a small room, German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer was sitting on a chair, calmly looking at Foreign Minister Hoyer sitting opposite him, his gaze was as calm as water.

"Please sign this proposal! Your Excellency the Prime Minister!" the security officer beside Adenauer, Yann, urged him in a sincere tone.

"Where is the Minister of Foreign Affairs?" Adenauer looked up at Yann contemptuously, then turned to Hoyer and asked.

"Mr. Ribbentrop is ill and resting." Hoyer looked at Adenauer and said in the same calm tone. "You don't have to wait for him." He looked at the proposal spread out on the table, "For the future of Germany, please sign the proposal.

Adenauer's eyes once again fell on the proposal that had already been stamped with the presidential seal on the table. He looked at the proposal for a while, raised his head, and said to Hoyer: "Do you think that this will allow Germany to Going strong?"

After hearing Adenauer's words, Hoyer closed his mouth.Adenauer sighed, "In my list, you are the first person to be nominated, and I respect and trust you the most, because you are my political teacher. I never thought that things would turn out to be this far." .”

Hoyer looked at Adenauer and suddenly laughed, the laughter was full of bitterness.

"Why is history always so strikingly similar?" He said to himself, "I think that His Majesty William, after the defeat, said almost the same thing as you?"

After hearing Hoyer's words, Adenauer couldn't help being slightly taken aback. He stared at the other party closely, waiting for his next words.

"Your Excellency used to regard me as a role model to learn from. I actually feel ashamed." Hoyer looked at Adenauer in front of him and said a little lonely, "Does Your Excellency know who my role model is?"

Adenauer stared at Hoyer closely and shook his head.

"It was the original Kaiser Wilhelm II," Hoyer said.

Hearing Hoyer say the name of William II, Adenauer couldn't help being shocked.Hoyer seemed very satisfied with Adenauer's reaction. He knew that Adenauer should have figured everything out at this time.

Who is William II?

He was born in Berlin in 1859, the eldest son of Frederick III and Empress Victoria. After the death of William I on March 1888, 3, his father was crowned Emperor Frederick III but died of throat cancer shortly thereafter, and William II succeeded him as emperor in June of the same year.

William's brain may have suffered from a disease that caused brain damage.With such health problems, he may have developed an ambitious, impulsive and reckless personality, as well as an arrogant attitude towards problems or people.William's character caused his governance problems, such as the event of dismissing Bismarck.

Although William admired Bismarck before he became emperor, he immediately clashed with the iron-blooded prime minister after he took the throne.In fact, the young emperor was unwilling to be controlled by others, and wanted to grasp the supreme power to rule the empire.As a result, he dismissed Bismarck as prime minister in 1890.

It is worth noting that the prime ministers he promoted later were all senior civil servants, not political veterans like Bismarck.In fact, William wanted to avoid the appearance of a second Bismarck, because he believed that Bismarck was too domineering and all officials could only meet with the emperor when he was accompanied by him.Bismarck, on the other hand, had been vehemently critical of Wilhelm's policies since his retirement.On social policy, the opinions of the emperor and the prime minister are also full of differences.

Wilhelm II, impulsive and reckless by nature, failed to adopt a rational approach to German foreign policy.A good example of this is his love-hate relationship with his cousin who ruled England and Britain.For him, an armed conflict with Great Britain was "the most unimaginable thing"; however, as his plans for a massive naval expansion began, the rise of Germany worried Great Britain.

Unfortunately, he tried to justify his foreign policy with good intentions, but repeatedly made serious mistakes that made foreign relations worse.The most famous example is his interview with the British press in 1908.To promote the friendly relations between Germany and Britain.However, in a moment of impulsiveness, he even offended Britain, France, Russia and the United States.Because of his fierce remarks, even his subordinates were silent.And he himself kept a low profile for several months after the incident.However, the incident in the newspaper has caused William to suffer a serious psychological blow.In fact, during the last ten years of his reign, his reduced involvement in affairs was not anticipated by the general commentary of the time.
