The night is dark and the stars are flashing. It is now a scene of high alert near the Military Railway Station on the outskirts of Berlin. At this moment, a large number of soldiers and materials will be transported and fed through the station every day. Although it is located in the absolute hinterland of Germany, the military still needs to be cautious about the spies from the Allied countries. What's more, today, there are quite important figures who will take special trains. No matter from any perspective, the garrison officers and soldiers here cannot give hostile nationalists any opportunity to take advantage of.

The long whistle sounded from far to near, breaking the silence of the night; after a short while, an iron-clad armored army slowly stopped onto the platform in the sharp sound of metal friction. As the hatch opened, a large number of Royal Guard soldiers rushed out of it and boarded several military vehicles who had already been waiting here with guns. After a while, a young man in a well-equipped military uniform had already walked out of the car under the guard of everyone; under the dome helmet that was exactly the same as the emperor's outfit, was the handsome face that was already very familiar to all German citizens.

Two days ago, Qingying, who was holding a victory parade in Paris, received a telegram from the Meziel Command: In addition to the large celebration of flowers, Moltke asked him to hand over the command of the 3rd Army Commander Hausen at the end of the telegram, and made other arrangements to return to Berlin. Needless to say, this was naturally what Emperor William meant. Even though the war life in military power had already made Qingying taste the taste, it was really hard to give up the army that had accompanied him for five months, but at this moment the war was in progress, there were indeed more important things to do by himself!

Half an hour later, Qingying's car drove onto the street under the Bodhi Tree and drove straight into the majestic and vast palace walls of the Berlin Palace. The evening breeze was gentle, and everything came to the familiar fragrance mixed with the smell of earth. In this palace that had lived for decades, Qingying's familiar carriage through the forest corridor soon arrived at the main hall where William's study was. He climbed up the steps and the doorman opened. The bright light in the study made Qingying's pupils shrink slightly; behind the long table, William sat upright on the main seat, although his waist and back were still straight, some bleak white frost appeared on his temples.

"Although the battle in Paris was not going well, we finally got the results we wanted. German military boots stepped on the streets of Champs-Elysees again, and the Star Square once again became the place where we celebrated. Unfortunately, this once extremely shining art center has now become an uninhabited ruin under the destruction of the war."

William spoke with a sigh, and could not tell whether it was joy or sadness in his words. He had always yearned for the prosperity of Paris far better than Berlin; however, because William I's slash against the French-Prussian war was too cruel. His wish, the German emperor, was invited to visit Paris, has always been a delusion for the past 25 years. Now, although he occupied the entire city of Paris like his ancestors, the French used tenacious resistance and the German army to burn together; even if the city was in hand, what's the use?

Hearing these words, Qingying, who had been with William for more than ten years, did not understand what his cheap father thought; he smiled slightly and said, "As Caesar, you said, we have achieved our initial strategic intentions. Germany is jubilant. There is no negative war-weariness due to the current casualties of more than 400,000 people. Even the Social Democrats and Liberals who have always fought against the imperial government have called on the migrant workers to respect them.

Under the leadership of the Hohenzollern royal family, I will do my part to the final victory of this Holy Kingdom War. The confidence of the allies was greatly encouraged. The governments of Rome, Istanbul and Bregast sent me enthusiastic congratulations to Germany. The situation of the Allies was completely opposite. The loss of Paris was undoubtedly a blow to them, whether it was the peace talks of surrender or the bargaining chips at the future negotiating table. They would have changed greatly than before the fall of Paris."

Qing Ying paused, and then said: "In addition, the empire's occupation of Paris will also serve as a flag on the neutral country on the other side of the ocean. Speculators who want to subscribe to French national debt and export usury loans to them for huge profits must now seriously consider the huge risks that will be suffered. The subscription rate of the bonds issued by Germany will also increase with the victory of our army on the battlefield. Now the British local fleet is still controlling the surface sea control of the Atlantic Ocean, and the loan funds from the United States cannot fully play a role; by the day when the high seas fleet completes its restoration and attacks again, countless food, medicine, and even guns, cannons and arms will be continuously transported to Germany from the sea!"

"American..." William murmured, and the regretful expression on his face finally melted away. Although he was extremely confident about the strength of the empire he ruled, he believed that no country in Europe could stop Germany's progress, but under the influence of the Qing and Ying years, he still had a clear and objective understanding of the current world. After entering the 20th century, the center of the world began to shift from Europe to North America, and the huge country isolated from the continent and protected by the two oceans was as the most shining star in the new century, rising slowly in the bright night sky with the stars shining with its arrogant attitude.

According to statistics in early 1913, Germany's steel production exceeded 19 million tons last year, 20% more than the sum of the three Allied countries of Britain, France and Russia that year; however, in front of the 31.75 million tons of Americans, Germany's data is not worth mentioning at all. In the most proud heavy industry field, Germany was almost desperately surpassed by the United States; and at the overall industrial level, Germany was extremely disparate from the United States. Their per capita industrialization index was only more than two-thirds of the United States, and the total number of key population was less than 70% of the other party; roughly estimated, its overall war potential was only about half of the other party. In terms of resources, Germany, which is less than a fraction of the other party's land area, is simply unable to compare with the vast United States!

Although the United States has a slack military power now and even the strongest navy can only last half a round under Germany, its unparalleled terror potential is comparable to that of no country. For the European powers who are fighting hard, as long as the United States can be used as its factory and granary, even if its production capacity is only exerted a small part, it will have a decisive impact on the current situation in the European war: the China-European alliance will completely lock in victory, and if the Allies kidnapped the United States, there is still a chance to turn the tables!

"Othbarden (Holvig) has asked the empire's ambassador to New York to do his best. Stimulated by the news of the fall of Paris, I think there will be some substantial results in no time. As long as the Americans still want to get the most benefits at the lowest cost, they will not choose to take the carriage destined to fall off the cliff." William's face showed a smile, and he had a considerable degree of confidence in the resolution of this hidden worries. If German diplomats could not match the American attitude under such a good battlefield situation, they would no longer have to continue working in this position.

Speaking of this, William looked at the young man in front of him, and his eyes gradually turned solemnly: "This time, you were asked to hand over the military post on the front line. In addition to giving you a rest time after three months of leadership, there is another more important thing that you need to do. I remember that since the Russian Revolution eight years ago, you came forward to reach a cooperative relationship with a force in Russia, and invested a considerable amount of manpower and funds in it, right?"

Qingying was shocked and nodded immediately. Since the outbreak of the revolution in Russia was a crucial part of Germany's victory in the Eastern Front War, he did not keep William secret in this top-secret matter. Instead, he told William all his plans from the day he first contacted the Bolsheviks.

Although William was extremely shocked by Qingying's act of stabbing his czar's cousin in the back, he was even more stunned after learning that the target of his aid was the Red Bolsheviks; but because Russia had already suffered a crushing defeat in the Far East at that time, he would turn his attention to Europe again. Out of the precautions, William acquiesced to Qingying's evil and evil behavior. With William's failure to win over Russia on his trip to Bjork, and the signing of Russia and Britain and France with the same signing of the same.

In the alliance agreement, William never interfered with the Qingying's layout in Russia, as if what he helped was not the proletarian Red Devil who wanted to kill all the emperors and nobles and Junker landlords. To this day, even William did not know how many pieces Qingying had installed in Russia, but one thing is certain that after eight years of development, the energy it possessed was no longer possible to the initial organization that could barely engage in civil smuggling!

"It is difficult to defeat Russia by pure military means, and the Japanese victory in 1905 provided us with a way to solve problems with another method." Qingying looked solemnly and looked directly at William's gray eyes, "Are my father going to use this power?"

William nodded slowly and said, "Since the day when Nicki was young, he and I were destined to be no longer in the friendship of cousins. Now he has led the commander-in-chief to leave St. Petersburg, which has to be said to be a good opportunity given by God. I want to know how you have made arrangements in Russia, and can you play the role of deciding the situation in 1905 in one fell swoop?" (To be continued)
