Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 186 The Secret Plan
The German princess did not live in the harem in the Forbidden City, but in a house built especially for her in the Summer Palace.There is a full set of German furniture, German servants (of course no German eunuchs)
Guan Xuqing came to this newly renovated room that he had never been to that night, probably because this political marriage came so suddenly and there were too many things that surprised him, so he didn't have time to take a closer look at his own Germany. The wife came to the study and continued to study the plan.

The poor German princess stayed alone on the first night of her marriage in the Qing Dynasty, although Guan Xuqing felt that doing so was unfair to the German princess.But at this time, he really couldn't arouse any interest.

The long night was squandered under Guan Xuqing's night battle of lighting up lights.

Early the next morning, Guan Xuqing went to the Summer Palace to secretly meet William II after the morning court.

"Your Majesty, were you too tired last night? Why did you look listless?" William teased.

Guan Xuqing smiled awkwardly, noncommittal.

"Please look, Your Majesty." William spread out a map of the world mysteriously again, and continued: "At this time, my Minister of Defense gave me a marked map, red for France, blue for Russia, black for Germany, and yellow for Germany. Represent your Great Qing."

Guan Xuqing looked at this map filled with four colors for a long time but couldn't find any clues. He shook his head and said, "I don't understand what you mean."

"Your Majesty, we said yesterday that we will form a joint Sino-German fleet in the Far East. We, Germany, will send six battleships and ten armored ships, and your Qing Dynasty also needs to send at least four battleships, four iron-clad ships, and six cruisers. In this way, our naval strength in the Far East will surpass that of the United Kingdom, and we will be able to contain the British army." William said mysteriously.

I have to admit that the strength of such a combined fleet is terrifying, and I am afraid that it can easily defeat any navy other than the United Kingdom.But what good is it for Germany to contain the British army in the Far East?

"William, I don't know what your real intention is? The British navy in the Far East doesn't seem to be of much benefit to Germany. Could it be that it's just to help the Qing Dynasty?" Guan Xuqing didn't believe that there would be no pie in the sky.

"Of course not, Your Majesty. Before I came to Qing Dynasty, I was hesitant to choose Qing Dynasty or Russia as my staunch ally of Germany. But now I don't need to think too much, because I have chosen you. You look at the map , as long as we contain the British navy in the Far East. Then we can make a big move in Europe!" William pointed on the map with his hand.

"The four colors marked by color represent the four countries I just mentioned. Among them, Germany is the strongest, while Qing Dynasty is the weakest. Germany will face the problem of fighting on two fronts, but Russia will also be the same, but if it is the weakest The Qing Dynasty firmly contained the weakest Russia, so didn't Germany have enough free time to take advantage of it? But"

Before William finished speaking, Guan Xuqing said directly: "There is a premise that Germany must quickly defeat France."

"Hahaha, it's really easy to talk to Your Majesty. Often you only need to click on it. Your Majesty is so smart, no wonder your country can prosper under your leadership. But please rest assured, Your Majesty, Germany has enough strength to quickly defeat France. So It is necessary for the Far East Combined Fleet to threaten and contain Britain so that Britain cannot reinforce France, even when Britain recovers, the war is over." William said cunningly and confidently.

The German official on the side said: "Yes, Your Majesty, in front of the French, Germany has every reason to be confident!"

Guan Xuqing did not expect that due to the continuous occurrence of the butterfly effect.The plan for the First World War was actually in the Summer Palace, and I participated in it.It was incredible, but it made his blood boil.

"I'll give you time!!" Guan Xuqing replied forcefully.

"Okay." William II nodded to Guan Xuqing, turned to look at Stephen and introduced: "He started to study how to deal with France as early as 1891 when he was the chief of the general staff. We had a copy in 1891." Stephen's face Somewhat unnatural, he interrupted William and said, "Your Majesty."

"It doesn't matter. I believe our friends. You must know that in the Far East, the French are also threatening the southern territory of His Majesty the Emperor." Although William said so, he continued to introduce: "Sixty division, sixty German divisions can completely defeat France. Hmph," William snorted arrogantly as if thinking of something.He said in a cold tone: "Since I came to power, my staff and rulers in Europe have ignored my words. Hey, it won't be long." Looking at Stephen, he nodded and said, "I already have A powerful army, I want to prove it to the whole world. Germany is number one in the world!"

Guan Xuqing finally understood that Germany was much stronger than what everyone saw on the surface.The German troops in Thailand may be at best a domestic guard of honor, and the real combat troops have never met the world. When the special forces of the Qing Dynasty shocked the world in front of people, Germany might not take a second look at all, because There are many such troops in Germany.

This time Guan Xuqing really understood the horror and forbearance of the Germans. If France is quickly resolved, then Russia will become the beef between the Qing Dynasty and Germany.

Guan Xuqing calmed down and said: "I believe that the German army has this ability, but once the war starts, all plans must be modified accordingly to face the current situation. In front of the God of War, no one can 100% Never give up. To be honest, your country's geographical location is too unfortunate, which is destined to make your country's war very difficult, unless the British Empire does not exist, or the strait does not exist."

Perhaps Guan Xuqing talked about the pain of the Germans, and William and his ministers silently agreed.

So Guan Xuqing turned the topic to the bait he had set, hoping to get more industrial help from Germany, "Our Minister of Industry in the Qing Dynasty complained to me, saying that the industrial foundation of the Qing Dynasty was really poor. Compared with Germany, It is almost a century behind, does Your Majesty have any good suggestions in this regard?"

"Industry?" William looked at Guan Xuqing in surprise, with a sarcasm on his face, smiled apologetically and said, "It's not about your question. It's just that I suddenly thought of a topic, tempting It is said that the hoes used by farmers are also called industry. I despise this kind of view. Those accessories can only be called industry. Your Majesty, please understand that industry is always stimulated by war. Without the need for war, there will be no industrial development. , if you think your country is too under-industrial, it is because they have not been stimulated enough by the war. The poor wants of the peasants will never be able to satisfy the great appetites of industry."

It was said that Guan Xuqing looked at William with admiration. This is not something a person with great ambition and talent can have. It seems that the Kaiser is much more shrewd than Guan Xuqing imagined.Guan Xuqing nodded and said: "What your majesty said is true, but my country is still restricted no matter what. In order to solve the problems faced by the industry, one is to learn more from Germany, and the other is to hope that we Our friendship can help our two countries solve land resource issues together."

"The Spaniards are no longer worthy of owning overseas territories." William II obviously had a very clear understanding of the meaning of Guan Xuqing's last sentence, "I have been thinking about this problem for many years, but to solve this problem, Germany will offend Many countries. I used to think that France and the United Kingdom would be Germany's greatest enemies because they occupied the most overseas territories. After listening to your majesty's suggestion, it would be a good choice to start with the weakest country. Haha, Germany has also learned a lot from you. The uneducated Russians, the increasingly backward Spain, Belgium, Poland, etc."

My God, Guan Xuqing cursed secretly, when will I let you fight those small countries first? ?What's more, is Russia considered a small country?We have to catch up with the Qing Dynasty, God knows if the result of the First World War can be overturned! !
