On May 25, 1859, Franz Joseph I announced the establishment of the Austrian Empire's Government in China, the capital of the Chinese Empire, with Count Andrach as prime minister of the government in exile. The Chinese Empire expressed support for the establishment of the Austrian Empire's Government in exile. The Ministry of the Interior of the Empire established a police station in the location of the office of the government in exile, in order to deter those who opposed the government in exile. Even the Germans could not risk a complete breakup with the Empire and lowered their eyes to attack the Austrian Empire's Government in exile! Of course, the Germans must have wanted to kill Franz Joseph I.

Franz Joseph I declared that it was illegal for the Austro-Hungarian Empire to be annexed by the German Empire, and called on all the people of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to resist the German Empire and drive the German Empire away from the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

This quickly aroused dissatisfaction from the German Empire. The German Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed protests to the Chinese Empire, claiming that the Chinese Empire's actions damaged the relationship between the Chinese Empire and the German Empire. They asked the Chinese Empire to expel Austrian Emperor Franz, Joseph I, and officials and staff of the Austrian Empire's exile government.

However, the protests from the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs were not accepted. The Germans could do the first day of the lunar calendar. Wouldn't the Chinese Empire be allowed to do the fifteenth day? Since they could plan rebellions in China's ruling areas and cause trouble for the empire, the empire could also fight back against them.

What's more, Franz Joseph I had already understood the intention of the empire. During the meeting between Count Andrashi and the imperial foreign minister Wei Yuan, Count Andrashi said that they were willing to accept the advice of the Chinese Empire and change the name of the government in exile to the government in exile of the Austrian Empire.

The Chinese Empire naturally repaid, providing a lot of help to the establishment of the Austrian Empire's exile government. And it promised to ensure the safety of the exiled government. After all, the Chinese Empire had the confidence to ensure the safety of the exiled government. If the security of the Austrian Empire's exiled government was threatened within the territory of the Chinese Empire, or the capital of the Chinese Empire, wasn't that slapped the Chinese Empire in the face?

The Chinese Empire has already considered it. After defeating the Germans, the Austrian Empire and the Hungarian Kingdom will be separated, and the Bosnian Kingdom and the Bohemia Principality will depend on the situation. If this happens, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will be divided. Even if the Austrian Empire can still be regarded as a powerful country, it will not pose a threat to the empire. In this way, the empire will not be threatened.

The establishment of the Austrian Empire's government in exile caused an uproar around the world. A few months ago, the Chinese Empire suppressed the Japanese rebellion, and then the so-called Japanese emperor established the Japanese Empire's government in exile in Germany. Subsequently, the Chinese Empire launched a counterattack and directly supported Franz. Joseph I established the Austrian Empire's government in exile. This is simply that the Chinese Empire and the German Empire are fighting each other!

With the call of Franz Joseph I, many nobles and people in the former Austro-Hungarian Empire who were dissatisfied with the German colonial rule began to find ways to fight back against the Germans. This led to a lot of riots in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Even though the Germans were ready, they were still in a mess. Germany's rule in the Austro-Hungarian Empire had a serious crisis.

"Damn Chinese, damn yellow-skinned monkeys. Are they going to completely break up with the German Empire?" German Emperor William I was furious. These actions of the Chinese Empire were completely constantly challenging the bottom line of the German Empire! Of course, the Germans did this before.

"Your Majesty. Although the situation in the Austro-Hungarian Empire is a bit critical, our army has already controlled the situation well. No major happenings should happen again!" Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck said. He was afraid that William I would make an impulsive decision in his anger.

"Can you just forget it? Otherwise, let's find a way to kill Franz Joseph I! In this way, the Austrian Empire's exile government will not exist!" Crown Prince Frederick William suggested.

"No, we cannot do this. Although there is constant struggle between us and the Chinese Empire. But how could the German Empire do such a despicable and shameless thing? I would rather go to war directly against the Chinese Empire than use such means!" William I shook his head.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, the Chinese have strengthened their protection of Franz Joseph I. If we assassinate Franz Joseph I at this time, we will undoubtedly further plan the conflict between our two countries. And this is very likely to detonate the war!" said the Foreign Minister Albrech von Ron. Although the relationship between the German Empire and the Chinese Empire is getting worse and worse, it is not yet at the point of starting a war. Besides, if the war starts now, can the German Empire win? I am afraid this will be more troublesome! Therefore, it is better for everyone not to break the rules. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.

William I nodded: "Yes, the political struggle between countries must also pay attention to rules. Some basic principles cannot be abandoned!"

Although Crown Prince Frederick William was a little unwilling to give up, he had to give up. After all, William I had the final say in this empire.

"Your Majesty, the General Staff has received news that the Chinese garrisons in Europe have entered the highest state of combat readiness. Although the Chinese are very confidential, there are still many clues, and the Chinese's plans can be analyzed from these. They are ready for battle, but we are not ready yet. Therefore, if the war begins now, it will not be beneficial to us!" said Earl Mawch, Chief of the General Staff of the German Army.

The Chinese Empire had as many as millions of troops deployed in Europe alone, which accounted for one-third of the total strength of the Chinese Army. In addition, half of the Chinese Navy's warships were deployed in Europe, which shows the Chinese Empire's emphasis on Europe.

"If the war starts now, do we really have no chance of winning?" William I was still a little unwilling to give up. After all, Germany is now one of the most powerful countries in the world! Although the Chinese Empire is the world's number one, in Europe, the Chinese Empire is not as powerful as Germany. If Germany can occupy Europe at the beginning of the war, it may not be without the strength to confront the Chinese Empire.

"Your Majesty, the Army may have a chance. However, the Navy is no match for the Chinese now," said Earl Moltke.

"Your Majesty, the 5th Fleet of the Chinese Navy now has four Tang-class battleships and four Eastern Han-class battleships, while the German Navy currently only has four Brandenburg-class battleships, and the subsequent four Caesar Frederick III-class battleships will not be able to enter service until the second half of the year. Not to mention confronting the entire Chinese Navy, the 5th Fleet of the Chinese Navy alone is not something we can fight against!" said Prince Felix, Minister of the Navy. The battleship of the 5th Fleet of the Chinese Navy alone is twice that of the German Navy. Not to mention the allies of the Chinese Empire, the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium also have strong strength. If the 5th Fleet of the Chinese Navy joins forces with the Spanish Navy and the Belgian Navy, then the German Navy will have no chance of winning.

What the German Navy can do is to build as many warships as possible and develop the strength of the navy. When the two sides fight to the decisive battle, the strength of the German Navy will be no worse than the 5th Fleet of the Chinese Navy. If you are lucky, the German Navy may be able to defeat the 5th Fleet of the Chinese Navy. In this way, Germany will have the advantage in Europe. Even if the main force of the 1st Fleet of the Chinese Navy arrives in Europe, the German Navy will still have the strength to deal with the Chinese Navy. Of course, it is very difficult to do all this. But the German Navy has no other way. Who said that the Chinese Navy was originally stronger than the German Navy. Now that the German Navy builds a battleship, the Chinese Navy will directly build two? Such investment in the navy made the German Navy both envious and angry, which is simply bullying!

"Damn Chinese!" William I cursed inwardly. Many times he was a little suspicious. Is it right or wrong to decide to compete with the Chinese Empire for world hegemony? The German Empire has embarked on a path of no return. In order to win hegemony, Germany must devote a large amount of national strength to the development of arms. Otherwise, it may be defeated in future wars. Once it fails, the consequences will be unimaginable.

If Germany had not had such ambition and was a regional power at the beginning, it might not have been as good as it is now. However, it would have been too late to say this now. Germany could no longer stop. Even if Germany stopped, the Chinese Empire would not let Germany go. A powerful Germany is undoubtedly a powerful challenger to the Chinese Empire's world hegemony. Therefore, unless Germany is split again into small countries, the war between the Chinese Empire and Germany will inevitably be avoided.

"Everyone, after this incident, the Empire and China have been completely broken up. Even if there is no war now, the war will definitely break out in the future. I hope that from now on, the Imperial Army and Navy can further strengthen their strength and win the empire in the future war. God will surely bless the German Empire!" William I said firmly.

"Yes, your Majesty! The German Empire will win!" Everyone else shouted. This is their goal and their firm belief. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
