Expedition to Europe

Speaking of which, the World War taught Germany too many lessons.

No powerful allies, no raw material production areas, no colonial imports, no sea control...

In the final analysis, Germany was not strong enough. If Germany could quickly flatten France, and then defeat the British fleet and gain sea control, the direction of the World War might be completely different.

Let alone anything else, if the war develops in a favorable direction for Germany, the Americans will not necessarily stand on the opposite side of Germany.

Don't think of Americans as too noble. They are just a group of businessmen. Their inherent profit-seeking nature determines that their position is not very firm. The national interest or the interests of the oligarchs is their only position.

At this point, it is understandable how upset and unwilling William III was when he heard Qin Zhiyuan talk about the idea of ​​combining airplanes and torpedoes.

With Germany's scientific research capabilities, it is not difficult to do this. Perhaps Germany needs less time to complete the verification of torpedo aircraft than Lan Fang, and the torpedo aircraft it builds is more advanced than Lan Fang's.

If German scientists could have thought of this idea earlier, if Qin Zhiyuan could have appeared on the European battlefield earlier and joined the German side, if time could go back to the day before the war...

Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs.

"Qin, you know, according to the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles, we cannot develop the air force now, so now is the time to fulfill our agreement." William III wanted to further deepen the friendship between Germany and Lan Fang.

"Okay, I can promise you that they will be treated without distinction, just like before." Qin Zhiyuan agreed.

Before this, some German soldiers had joined the Lan Fang Army by joining the Foreign Legion or directly joining the Lan Fang nationality. Most of them were in the navy, and there were also many armored soldiers and artillery in the army.

William III's attitude was very clear. He wanted more German soldiers to join the Lan Fang Air Force.

Qin Zhiyuan welcomed this and intended to increase this cooperation: "I need more thoughtful officers who can join Lan Fang's military academies to improve the teaching strength of these schools so as to train more grassroots officers."

Qin Zhiyuan's foreign legion is indeed strong, but it is still a shortcoming in the training of officers. Too many grassroots officers have not received systematic military training. Their experience comes from actual combat. This may seem effective, but it is difficult to improve.

Qin Zhiyuan needs to strengthen the theoretical foundation of grassroots officers, and even many senior officers need to be strengthened in basic theory.

Germany has strong basic theoretical strength. Although its military academies are not as famous as the United States West Point Military Academy or the United Kingdom Sandhurst, they are not bad in practicality.

"Of course, among my entourage, there are 500 pilots and nearly 100 military instructors of various levels. I hope they can play a role immediately." William III is indeed well prepared.

"No, no, no, not yet. They must first enter a language school to study and at least understand some commonly used Chinese so that they can communicate with their peers without obstacles." Qin Zhiyuan has long-term plans.

Qin Zhiyuan vaguely remembered watching a video in another time and space. It seemed to be a military exercise in an African country. When the authentic Jiaodong accent said "start" from the mouth of the big black general, it was really funny.

In this time and space, if the blond and blue-eyed Germans spoke "level 10 Northeastern dialect" seriously, it would be so subversive to their outlook on life.

"Hehe, they don't need to go to language school. Before, they have learned "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Characters", and daily communication should be no problem." William III said shockingly, "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Characters" are actually said in Chinese.

This is also a thoughtful person!

"It's... incredible!" Qin Zhiyuan was stunned.

"Hahahaha... I'm not the best at learning, Olaf, come with a tongue twister." William III was very satisfied with the effect of his carefully prepared "little surprise".

This is indeed a surprise for Qin Zhiyuan.

Let's not talk about the national level. Even if two people are dealing with each other, if one person takes the initiative to learn the other's language in order to communicate deeply with the other person, this is enough to prove sincerity.

"Okay, eat grapes without spitting out the grape skins..." Olaf was eloquent and his words were clear.

"..." Qin Zhiyuan fell into a stagnation. Even if Qin Zhiyuan said it himself, he might not be able to speak so fluently.

"Okay, don't be so ignorant. Languages ​​are what royal members must learn, and the more the better." William III was very satisfied with Qin Zhiyuan's reaction.

This is true. Generally speaking, royal members have more resources than ordinary people, and they also have greater responsibilities.

A royal member, not to mention knowing everything about astronomy and geography, at least has to have some knowledge of various subjects, so as not to be unable to communicate with professionals in the future. At the same time, the more you learn about languages, the better. Not to mention being proficient in ten or eight foreign languages, commonly used languages ​​such as English, French, Spanish, and German should basically be able to communicate without barriers.

Of course, there will be another Chinese language in the future, and Qin Zhiyuan is very confident about this.

"Oh... think about my son's miserable life in the future, I can already feel it..." Qin Zhiyuan has a unique perspective.

"This is normal. They enjoy more resources, so they should bear more responsibilities. This is indisputable." William III looked at his two sons with a look full of pity.

William III probably didn't know that Olaf, whom he carefully cultivated, would give up his right to inherit the family head in order to marry a woman of common origin in the future. This is the German version of "Duke of Windsor". It's a pity that the German emperor had abdicated at that time, so it was not as famous as the authentic "Duke of Windsor".

"You seem to be chatting happily..." Qin Zhiyuan and William III were chatting happily, and Cecilia floated over silently.

She really floated over. As a queen, Cecilia was naturally graceful.

Cecilia wore a court-style long skirt with a wide skirt that was common in European courts. When she walked, the shaking of her shoulders was almost invisible, and naturally the movement of her feet could not be seen. It was really like floating over.

"You guys chatted well..." William III gave a doting smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I had a very pleasant chat with Julie, but Julie can't sit for long, she needs more rest..." Cecilia is really considerate.

It is said that now is the time to get close to each other and build relationships, but Cecilia is willing to consider the problem from Julie's perspective, which is undoubtedly a more considerate behavior and will increase the score faster.

The original text is in the six # 9 @book/bar!

"Oh... I almost forgot, Qin, let's talk later, later." William III suddenly realized.

"Haha, thank you very much, Cecilia, you are so considerate." Qin Zhiyuan thanked him.

So Qin Zhiyuan ordered someone to send William III and his family to rest first, and then continue to communicate with William III at the dinner.

Just as William III and his family went to rest, the German instructors who came to Lan Fang with William III also received their room keys.

"Don't you have any daily necessities? We didn't bring anything." Rommel was a little unwilling to hold his key.

Yes, this is the famous Rommel in another time and space.

After the World War, the 28-year-old Rommel entered the Dresden Infantry School as a tactical instructor. When William III selected instructors for Lan Fang, Rommel was selected for his outstanding tactical qualities.

Rommel had no intention of resisting going to Lan Fang, thousands of miles away.

Rommel knew very well that if he stayed in Germany, it would be difficult to find opportunities to participate in the war in the next few decades, which was undoubtedly a tragedy for a soldier, so going to Lan Fang became Rommel's best choice.

"Sir, everything has been prepared for you in the room, you just need to open the door." The first-class soldier in charge of distributing keys had a serious expression.

"Okay, thank you." Rommel got the answer he wanted, and without much nonsense, he took several colleagues and followed the guards in charge of guiding to his dormitory.

Unlike the "dormitory" imagined by Rommel, Rommel's dormitory was built on a hillside facing the sea. At most 200 meters away from Rommel's "dormitory", there was a white beach and crystal-clear water.

It is a bit inappropriate to describe it as a "dormitory". The dormitory assigned to Rommel is a two-story cabin, which is the same as the common buildings on Penglai Island, with a red roof and green walls. The color combination is very reasonable, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

A cobblestone path leads directly to Rommel's door through the lawn. There is a lounge chair on the corridor at the door, and a coffee pot on the small table next to it. Everything is so warm and all the details are perfect, making people feel at home.

Rommel thanked the guard who brought him here, and did not rush into the house. He went to sit on the lounge chair in the corridor first.

Close your eyes, the soft sea breeze gently touches your face, you can feel the gentleness of the sun, not violent at all, the air is full of the smell of grass and sea water, and the sound of waves and birds singing from nowhere linger in your ears.

Opening his eyes, he could see the distant mountains and the nearby sea. There were a few white clouds in the blue sky, and there were some white sails on the sea. The lawn in front of the door looked very comfortable. He could even feel the clear wood texture when he put his palm on the handrail.

There was a coffee pot on the small table at hand. Rommel poured a cup. It was really fragrant. He could smell the mellowness, which was completely different from the coffee in Europe.

Uh, this is the origin of coffee.

Rommel suddenly understood the reason.

Almost instantly, Rommel fell in love with this place.
