As China's attitude changes, the situation stated in the letter to the domestic letter is becoming more and more beneficial to Germany, but in the letter he still repeatedly stated China's existing strategy, which is to defeat Japan and then attack Russia, and emphasized that the order of time cannot be adjusted. However, in Germany, from the emperor to the General Staff, everyone hopes that China will point the finger at Russia rather than Japan. They need China to restrain Russia to ensure that there are more than six weeks to defeat France. Prince Heinrich feels that he has made it clear, but judging from the emperor and other ministers, it seems that he still has to stick to the original point of view. He said in confusion: "Your Majesty, the Chinese must first defeat Japan and then attack Russia, I think..."

"No. Albert, we don't mean to change the Chinese strategy. We just hope that they can attack Japan in advance. The small boats they need, yes, are those submarines, we can produce and deliver them in advance. Next year, next year, they will attack the Japanese, and a year later, the war will end, and they will attack Russia again. Can this be done?" The emperor stood in the scepter in his left hand, and said his thoughts while thinking, which aroused the contemplation of others.

"Your Majesty," interrupted before Prince Heinrich spoke, Moltke little, "We cannot count the beginning of the war on the Chinese. We and they are not allies. If they fought with Japan for more than a year, or they did not win at all, then for us, the current favorable situation is lost. The Russians are expanding their troops, the French are consolidating their defense, the Belgians are becoming more and more defensive to us, and the war is the sooner the war begins, the more favorable it is for Germany. Even if Britain chooses a balance of power strategy, when we defeat France and Russia, their choice is not important."

Little Moltke insisted that the war would start, the better. Prince Heinrich had no interface yet. Tirpitz, who was like a sea god, shouted: "Even if the war is earlier, the more favorable it is. But the army must fill the empty barracks first. To break the British blockade, we still need to continue to build the main ships. Your Majesty. The Navy hopes to continue the war to a year and a half later, when the Kiel Canal project was completed, the main ships could freely enter the Baltic and North Seas. Although we cannot completely borrow the Chinese submarine tactics, it is still important to use submarines to conduct appropriate raids, but this will have to be completed by the submarine port on Helgoland Island."

Tirpitz's voice was loud and the reasons he said were irrefutable. Heinrich nodded frequently. "Your Majesty, if the ocean trade is blocked, then our food will be a big problem. The empire will import 6.5 million tons of food every year. Once the war begins, it will not only solve the problem of people's food, but also the supply of soldiers and horses in the army. At the beginning of this year, the army has begun to stock up rye and oats, but in order not to cause price increases, we can only buy it without attracting attention and gradually. But this is far from enough. The grain exchange for submarines negotiated with the Chinese this time is extremely important to us. Although the Chinese can only be self-sufficient in food, they produce 1.500 million tons of food annually, and exporting millions of tons of food is not noticeable. We need two years to stock up on food, and it is really inappropriate to start the war now."

Some of the submarines are paid in cash, while others are paid through grain and soybeans produced in Northeast China. This was negotiated by Yu Huizu of the Ministry of Revenue and Prince Heinrich in Beijing, especially soybeans, which the Germans like. Seeing that someone finally valued the benefits of his trip to China, Prince Heinrich said: "Your Majesty, China's war against Japan will be roughly the end of next year or early 2014. Yang Jingcheng believes that with the current strength of the Japanese, the war will end in a year. At the end of 2015, his army can launch an offensive against Russia to cooperate with the war in Europe. However, he also believes that if Russia sees China gradually gaining an advantage on the battlefield, they will inevitably interfere in this war so that the Japanese can preserve most of their strength.

This is actually our opportunity. Even if the Russians do not interfere in the war in southern Manchuria, they will send troops to the Far East to prevent the war from spreading into the Russian sphere of influence. This is like during the Russo-Japanese War that year, although the Qing government declared neutrality, his new army was still guarding outside Shanhaiguan just in case. When China gradually gained an advantage and won a decisive battle, if there was a rumor spreading in Russia at this time, for example, China will attack Russia immediately, then regardless of whether this news is true or not, the Russian army's attention will be moved eastward. The Siberian Railway is just a single track, and it is extremely troublesome to transfer hundreds of thousands of Russian troops to the Far East, and it is also troublesome to transfer hundreds of thousands of Russian troops back to Europe..."

As the prince's narration, the little Moltke, who began to look down on China, began to shimmer. He knew whose idea was this, even if he had given up his German nationality, he was the German!

He was desperately leaning on the scepter, and the emperor shouted: "Great! It's great! So the Russians will run back and forth on the railway. When our attack is launched, the gray animals have not yet come back from the long-distance train. I like this idea, although it is so cunning. Generals, it seems that the war should be launched when the rumors of China's upcoming attack spread across Russia and the Russian army is drawn to the east, right?"

"Your Majesty, the best way is to let the squadron attack Russia directly." Xiao Moltke was not satisfied after the surprise, "so that our victory can be better guaranteed."

"Sir, this is impossible," said Prince Heinrich. "When China and Japan were fighting, such rumors had put China in extreme danger. Yang Jingcheng believed that the fastest attack on Russia would be until the end of 15 years."

"This time is too late and has little use." Xiao Maoqi said. "The Chinese only know how to play some tricks."

"My Lord Earl, if there is no victory in the war against France, then China's attack will be just right." Baron Goldz said, "Any accident in the war can happen. There is a force that can restrain Russia in the Far East, which is extremely useful to us, even if they do not attack but only station hundreds of thousands of troops on the border. Think about it. Just like we are now worried that France and Russia will attack us at the same time. If the Russians are also worried that we will attack them with the Chinese, then the situation of the war will be completely different. Your Majesty. We should maintain our friendship with China, especially to help them strengthen the continental army. The stronger their army is, the more Russia will be worried. The more Russia is worried, the more Russian army will be transferred to the east."

"Yes. That's it. I thought it this way." The emperor thought Baron Golds said very useful. "I have ordered the country to meet all the requirements of the Chinese in the army, especially in artillery." He shook his head again when he said this. "It's such a poor country. I still don't know how to make steel. I don't know how to make artillery. I even have to teach them the rifles and bullets to make them."

"Your Majesty, that's because we have the most powerful army in the world." Prince Heinrich interjected when he saw the opportunity. "The Chinese have been learning from us, and this has been the case since the German University established seven years ago. This time, Yang Jingcheng also hoped that we would send more professors and technical engineers to China. I happily agreed and promised that the people sent were excellent."

"Very good!" The emperor saw that he was extremely kind to his younger brother. He was still imagining the scene of Russian soldiers running back and forth on the Siberian Railway. Thinking of China's pitiful finance, he couldn't help but excitedly said: "Maybe we can support them financially and pull them completely from the Americans. In this way, they will not worry about the Americans' reaction when they go to war with Russia."

If he had known that the emperor had a whim, Prime Minister Holvig hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, we have no extra money to lend to China. Now the fiscal deficit has reached 400 million marks. The national debt has also increased to 800 million marks. If we lend it to China, the funds for the army to expand its army and the navy to build its main ships will not be guaranteed."

"Your Majesty, we are not doing much now." Prince Heinrich said: "The Chinese seem to have greater interest in German technology than the German Mark. They want everything. I have promised them in this regard as much as possible. If they really attack Russia, then we can pay them a sum."

"Yes! Your Majesty, we have enough support for China. Helping them produce more than one hundred submarines is the greatest help to them." Marshal Tilpiz also said. Those yellow men wore German naval uniforms and entered Kiel's military port to train was very challenging for him. If it weren't for the emperor's personal pressure, he would never agree.

The meeting at the Charlottemberg Palace was a German senior assessment of the impact of China's participation in the German-Austrian alliance. In addition to being interested in the parameters of the British battleship provided by the Chinese, the submarines and the magical but rare long-kiss torpedo could not arouse Tirpit's interest. The Army and General Staff believed that the sooner the war began, the more beneficial it would be for Germany. Although the prince's plan to confuse the enemy was also helpful to Germany, he ultimately hoped that China could directly attack Russia to alleviate the pressure on the Eastern Front. However, this was mainly the imagination of Moltke. Baron Goldz believed that it was the best to mobilize Russia in this way. No matter how many Chinese people there were, it would not be possible to resist the attacks of Japan and Russia at the same time. Even if the Chinese prime minister was in power, he would not be able to make such a choice.

In the poetic autumn, a group of men were talking about war in the palace, and the same discussion was also going on at the Kiel Military Port northwest of the Berlin Palace. The difference was that these were two Chinese.

"You mean, we will join Germany?" In the smokey room, Qian Bocong, wearing a German naval uniform, looked at Bei Shoutong, who had just come from the country with surprise. From his introduction, he felt that the war was about to begin. Unlike Bei Shoutong, who has the strengths in China, Qian Bocong hurriedly returned to Germany after attending the founding ceremony. After he participated in the founding ceremony, he hurriedly returned to Germany. He had been dealing with Germans for many years. Because the Navy's lack of soldiers was appointed as the chief officer of the submarine force by Yang Rui. Because he was only from the army, the ideological and political work of the troops was his focus, and the specific training of the navy was left to others.

The playground of a temporary naval school in the Kiel Naval Harbour was full of yellow people, including fifteen submarines being trained, as well as instructors and school 6th class students. Submarine sailors are trained in China, while officers are trained in Kiel. As for driving the submarines back to China, they took a mail boat to Germany after the sailors were trained in China, and then went back with the boat. Two hundred submarines and more than 6,000 submarine troops, three-quarters of them were going to Germany for a walk.

In the white team, with the "Stand up!", the officers and soldiers who were originally a little slackened, and while saluting, they stared at the front without looking sideways. The 37-year-old Bei Shou was wearing a dark green army lieutenant general uniform, very conspicuous among the young naval officers and soldiers in the snow-white field. The officers and soldiers saluted him, and he also returned the salute solemnly. At this time, the officers and officers on duty ran forward and saluted loudly and said, "Report to the chief, the major Chen Ce of the Chinese Navy Submarine Force reported to you: The officers and soldiers of the submarine force should arrive at 413, and the actual number of 413, and the teachers and students of the submarine school should arrive at 173, and the actual number of 173, and the line has been completed. Please review it!"

"Thank you for your hard work!" Bei Shoutong replied. After Chen Ce left, he looked at the officers and soldiers on the playground and began to speak, "Comrades, it is my honor to meet you in Germany. This time I came here on behalf of the emperor, the Prime Minister, and the General Staff. Living in a foreign country is not easy, and the troops go out to sea training is even more difficult. However, nine years ago, there was also a military academy, and a group of young people who were willing to sacrifice everything for the country and the nation were like you, in a foreign country. They forged the steel-like Revival Army today, and you will also forged the steel-like Revival Army Navy in the future. This is the country's expectation for you, and it is also the expectation of the nation's expectation for you."

Most of the submarine troops were young men under 20 years old. Bei Shoutong looked at them and couldn't help but think of himself nine years ago. He was so excited that he didn't want to say anything, but suddenly sang the song of the Revival Army: "You don't see. The Han army is the last army, and the weak crowns are the enemy. You don't see, Ban Dingyuan, and the light cavalry in the world urged to fight Yun. Men should be in danger, so how can the Confucians lose their life..."

The submarine force is different from the army. They are all students who graduated from elementary school or above. They love the songs of the Revival Army with gorgeous rhetoric and rich allusions more deeply than the officers and soldiers of the army. Now they see lieutenant generals from China singing emotionally. They can't help but follow them. For a moment, the submarine school is full of passionate singing.

The afternoon review was completed with the singing. Qian Bocong began to introduce the instructor of the submarine school and the captain of the fifteen training boats to Bei Shoutong in the small conference room: "This is Major Chen Ce, whose courtesy name is Choushuo, is from Wenchang, Guangdong, graduated from Huangpu Naval School in Guangzhou. After joining our association, he went to study in the German Naval Academy. He is an old man in the submarine force and is now an instructor of the submarine school."

Chen Ce was the duty officer just now, just like the rest of the submarine force. His figure was only over 1.6 meters tall, less than twenty years old, and he had an indescribable confidence on his youthful face. After Qian Bocong introduced him, he saluted Bei Shoutong neatly.

"This is Major Tian Shijie, whose courtesy name is Peiqing, from Jiangyin, Jiangsu Province. He graduated from Yantai Naval Academy. He then joined our association and entered the German Naval Academy. He is now an instructor of the submarine force." After Qian Bocong finished speaking, a slightly older officer came up to salute. After finishing the slogan, he said again: "This is Major Wu Zhixin, whose courtesy name is Yihang. He is from Jiangdu, Jiangsu Province. He graduated from Jiangnan Naval Academy in his early years. Later, he entered the Tokyo Advanced Navigation and Merchant Ship in Japan. During this period, he joined our association and joined the German Naval Academy. He was also an instructor of the submarine force. This is Major Ouyang Lin, whose courtesy name is Cangsheng, a native of Yihuang, Jiangxi Province. He graduated from the Japanese Naval Merchant Ship School and joined our association and entered the German Naval Academy. He is now an instructor of the submarine force..."

The officers were all in the conference room, and the disbanded submarine students studied in the classroom, while the officers and soldiers on the submarine were doing nothing. Although they also wanted to talk to the lieutenant general who came to the General Staff of the Domestic, the twenty people in the conference room were already full. Besides, the hierarchy in the army was so strict that they were not qualified to listen to some words.

After secretly looking at the small conference room, Lieutenant Ouyang Ge said to Lieutenant Huqinzhai on the same ship: "Is there something big happening in China? At this time, the General Staff's lieutenant will definitely go to war with the Japanese in the future."

The war with the Japanese was just speculation of the submarine officers and soldiers. Last year, the Japanese actually sent troops to the Northeast during the Chinese Revolution. Young people with a little bloody desires this. In addition, the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 humiliation, no one in the army did not regard Japan as an imaginary enemy.

Second Lieutenant Hu Qinzhai is from Xiaofeng, Zhejiang. He graduated from elementary school and was admitted to the military academy with his classmate Zhang Guiling. After several months of urgent training in China, he entered the fifth phase of Kiel Submarine School. After graduation last month, he started to take the ship to internship. Unlike the original history, he was supposed to have lost the military academy and entered Xiaofeng Middle School in 1911. He asked the teacher to give a name and changed it to Hu Zongnan [Note:]. It was just because of the expansion of the army, especially those who had a sharp need to graduate from elementary school, that he became a student of a submarine school. Similarly, Lieutenant Ouyang Ge's life is also different from history. He did not transfer from the closed Jiangnan Naval Academy to Yantai Naval School to study, but went directly to Germany and entered Kiel Submarine School.

"The Japanese should have fought long ago!" Hu Qinzhai was sixteen years old this year. The good food in the military academy made the children of this poor family eat strongly. "When the people from the General Staff come, it won't take long to start the war. Isn't your cousin the instructor? Why don't you ask him?"

Seventeen-year-old Ouyang Ge is Ouyang Lin's cousin. He entered the navy because he wanted to follow his cousin's pace. But he didn't expect to enter and ran to Germany. "My cousin probably doesn't know." Ouyang Ge said helplessly. After saying that, he shook his head and sang: "I called out more than one million comrades, sang war songs and joined the army. Clean up Hu Chen and swear to sweep away the enemy's enemies without regard for their own lives!" (To be continued)
