To Yang Rui, the resentment of the Germans is as meaningless as the snowflakes in Tonghua winter. Although Germany has been accumulating technology since its defeat, trying to rebuild a powerful army, this is not entirely in line with China's interests.

The evolution of the world situation at this time has made Yang Rui unable to judge who is the enemy and who is the friend. He can only judge that the probability of XXX is higher and the possibility of XXX is higher. A "strong" Germany has no other effect except that it can strategically restrain the Soviet Union and gradually break free from isolationism.

If the United States is destined to fight, then Stalin's attitude will determine whether China wants to fight on two fronts; and Germany's restraint may avoid this, but it will prompt the destruction of Europe and the birth of NATO. In a sense, it is more like giving gifts to the Americans. In this way, a multiple-choice question is placed before Yang Rui: If you really fight with the United States: either, you will risk fighting on both sides to fight against the powerful enemy alone, reach a peace agreement, and then continue to develop under the obstruction of the British Empire; or, you will be willing to indulge Germany in the war to share the pressure in order to end the Pacific War more easily, but in the future, you will have to face the encirclement and interception of the "free world" led by the United States.

Although there is still the uncertainty of the Soviet Union that affects the world political landscape, and although the British Empire will also lead the "free world", although... there are many factors outside the scope of cognition, abandoning the self-righteous scientific analysis, only one truth was accepted by Yang Rui: that is, there is no free lunch in the world, and no matter what is pleasing, there will be no good results. With this idea, one day at the end of November of the 18th year of Shenwu, he met the German delegation at his Tonghua Manor.

It was probably a long time since I saw Rebecca. After her greeting, Cheng Wu forced her to pull her away from the crowd. In the huge reception room, only German Chancellor Bruin, Gorein, German Minister of Economic Affairs Hermann Wabber, German Consul General Heinrich Gruen, the old broker Earl Christian, as well as Krupp's eldest son Alfred Krupp and Arnold Siemens's Arnold Siemens's other bidders with insufficient qualifications, they only waited in the inn.

"His Excellency Duke, Mr. Hindenburg, our President, wants me to greet you on his behalf. I wish you good health forever." German Prime Minister Bruin spoke first. What's funny is that he looked at Yang Rui, who was not old at all, almost swallowed up the word "health".

"Your Excellency, although you are separated from the Big 6 ends, the friendship between China and Germany has a long history." Yang Rui smiled and said some clichés, making the already warm living room even warmer. "I know your intention. Although I hope your country's company will win the bid this time, it is a bid, and it is not my Chinese family. Russians and Japanese have a share, while the United States, Britain, France, even Belgium, and Czechoslovakia have also participated in the bidding, so you can only rely on your own strength to win."

"Yes, you, we fully understand this." Before Bruin arrived in China, he heard that this huge purchase was not hosted by the Chinese government, nor was it in Beijing, but was held in Shanghai and organized by a company in Shanghai. This is obviously beneficial to British, American and French companies, because there are many members of the three countries in the Shanghai Municipal Council.

"That's good." Yang Rui saw that there were so many of them, and some things were hard to say in public. So he gave the German laughter booklet prepared in advance with the bidding process and then sent the guests away. Only Golin stayed as his niece and followed Yang Rui into the back house.

In Goring's eyes, Yang Rui, who left the political arena, was still scattered with the power of a strong man. According to unreliable rumors, the current Chinese government is just a puppet he manipulated, and the real power of this country is still in his hands. Goring firmly believes that force is crucial to governing a country. This is also the reason why the Hohenzollern family can become the German emperor. Although every province in China has an army, for many reasons, the most powerful troops of the Revival Army are all in the north. According to some Chinese newspapers, the Chinese power structure is no different from that of the Qing Dynasty. It is still the only one who pays money inside the pass, fights outside the pass, and military aristocrats and gentry inside the pass share their rights together to effectively rule the country.

"Have you given birth?" Golin walked towards the back house with Yang Rui, but he was cautiously behind a small step, only to Yang Rui's question. I want to read the book 1.

"Yes. Adult." Gorene is not taller than Yang Rui, so he was the standard attentive posture of a soldier when he spoke. "But this time I came back was a hasty, and the children were all staying in Berlin."

"Boy or girl, how old are you?" Yang Rui continued to ask.

"A three and a half years old boy, a girl who is just one year old." Although Goren's face was serious, his eyes were loving when he spoke of the child, and he could not see any arrogance or domineeringness.

"Hey! They've grown up." Yang Rui sighed softly. The Rebecca he remembered was just a well-behaved elf little girl, but now she is a mother of two children; and the eldest son Wuming, although his disability made him not want to face marriage, the affair was decided. The woman was Xu Huafeng's granddaughter and would get married next year.

"Don't sigh. Today Rebecca is here, we have to be happy. I want to cook a few dishes myself." In the inner house, Cheng Wu and Rebecca, their son and daughter are laughing constantly, and their daughter is still wearing a Western dress. Seeing that their father is coming, they hurriedly hid behind Cheng Wu. Cheng Wu protects her with one hand and speaks to Yang Rui with a smile. Although she didn't hear what her husband said, she still read the vicissitudes of life from her husband's harsh expression.

"Uncle..." Rebecca, who was standing on Cheng Wu's side, asked Yang Ruifu. If she hadn't been wearing a dress and had a high nose and deep eyes, she would have thought that this was just a Chinese woman next door.

"Okay, sit down." Yang Rui relaxed and said to Gorene and Rebecca: "Although your fiefdom is a hundred kilometers away, it is also your home. Just stay here for a while, and it's good to celebrate the New Year here."

Yang Rui's statement made Rebecca and Gorene smile at each other, but when Yang Rui mentioned the New Year, Rebecca said, "It's best to celebrate the New Year here, but..." She paused a little, and gently shaved Yang Wuhua's face with her head tilted, saying, "There are so many things in Germany, and the children will miss me, so we can only go back next month."

"Just say, you should bring your children back this time, and they will also go to the Lifanyuan to enthrone the enthronement... It is best to take a cruise ship, and you can get ashore and take the train when you arrive in Persia. If you want to be faster, then take the Siberian Railway from Russia. The plane is good, but it is not safe. Every air crash..." Cheng Wu pulled Rebecca's arm and did not go to the kitchen, so he started a woman-like homework.

A woman has a woman’s gossip. Yang Rui looked at Golin who was still standing and said, “Let’s sit down, man.” Then he took out a cigar from the cigar box and asked, “Do you smoke?”

"Thank you!" Gorin took it carefully, rubbed it, cut it open, and lit it carefully with a match.

"You..." Yang Rui was about to say something serious, but he didn't expect a sound from outside to come from far and near. "Sister Li..." Yang Wuming came in. He shouted, rushed to Rebecca as if no one was there, and then grabbed her who stood up tightly.

"Wu Ming..." Rebecca was talking to the innocent Wu Hua, not caring about the sound of "dong Dong Dong Dong Dong". Unexpectedly, Yang Wu Ming came. When Yang Wu Ming called "Li Sister", she immediately stood up and looked at him, carefully distinguished his face, and then looked at him all over. When his eyes fell on his legs of varying lengths, she stopped, and her eyes were full of surprise.

"It's been a long time ago, it's been a long time ago." Yang Wuming said and turned around and staggered a little, but his as if nothing had happened only made others sad. Yang Rui, who couldn't stand it, coughed and said in a deep voice: "Don't always look at your sister, have you seen your brother-in-law before!"

"I've seen my brother-in-law!" Yang Wuming turned around and looked at Golin and bowed. He saluted. Golin, who was familiar with Chinese etiquette, hurriedly supported him, while saying polite words. Yi Reading??·1?·

"Sit down." Yang Rui, as a parent, greeted him. The guests and children in the room finally made him look a little old.

"Wu Ming was injured a few years ago, but no matter what the injury was, a man would be a man." After he said that, he looked at Gorene and seemed to be proud, "I remember Hermann was an Air Force fighter pilot, and Wu Ming was also an Air Force fighter pilot. This was not something I could get in with my face. It was something I could get in with his own efforts."

"It's amazing!" Golin heard that Yang Wuming was an Air Force pilot and was more intimate to him and couldn't help but shake hands and hug him. At the same time, he also hoped to have the opportunity to fly in Tonghua, preferably with the plane while flying.

"A man with courage is amazing!" Yang Rui looked at Yang Wuming, feeling that the profession of pilot really made his son come out of the shadow of that trauma. At least he was driving a fighter plane and turned into a normal man again.

"Okay, let's talk about you." After Cheng Xu left, Yang Rui looked at Gorene and Rebecca, "The situation in Germany seems to be worse than before."

"Yes, sir." Goering nodded. Although his wife was closer to Yang Rui, as a man, he felt that he should introduce the situation. "There are more and more socialists and more people, and more people believe that only socialism can save Germany, while we believe that only the restoration of the emperor can pull Germany from the abyss of socialism."

"Restoration?!" Yang Rui was surprised. In the future historical path of Germany as he knew, there was never the choice of restoration. She either Naziized or Bolshevikized, and there was no third way to choose. Can restoration be possible? Why did they choose to restore? Was it influenced by themselves?

"Sir, we unanimously believe that only the emperor can fight against the Bolsheviks and democrats. They seem to have different purposes and different slogans, but the two have similar positions on many things." Gorene explained. "After experiencing the chaos of the Weimar Republic, many people miss His Majesty the Emperor. During the reign of His Majesty, Germany had never had such a painful experience; and many German scholars also believe that China retained the emperor but did not implement a republic, which is a major reason why China can achieve such achievements."

When Goring explained, Yang Rui couldn't help but think of Spain. This country implemented the restoration of imperial power under the choice of Franco without democratic politics and no other than *. However, is Goring in front of him Franco? Is Rebecca Franco? Germany lacks a global strategist, and all their strategies are just to be angry with neighboring countries.

"Hermann, do you think Germany is a strong country or a weak country?" Yang Rui asked after silence.

"She used to be a great power, but now she is a weak power, but he will definitely be a strong power in the future." Goring said, and Rebecca on the side listened carefully.

"In my opinion, with the advancement of technology, Germany has gradually become a weak country." Yang Rui said. "Because from the perspective of war, what we need is no longer coal but oil. Does Germany have oil? No! Once a large-scale war occurs, as long as the German oil pipe is tightened, she will have to surrender."

"But..." Faced with Yang Rui's conclusion, Gorene wanted to refute it, but due to the magnanimity and reality, he could only be full of redness.

"Uncle, can't Germany find the oil field?" The husband couldn't speak, so Rebecca came out to ask a question. The couple had a tacit understanding.

"Of course there are oil fields, and there are ones under the North Sea. The current technology will probably take thirty or forty years to be mined. It was too late at that time." Yang Rui said the truth, which made Goering and Rebecca even more disappointed. "The war from now on will not end in one year or two years. Instead, it will be fought for four or five years like the last World War. With Germany's position and resources, he is a weak country. Of course you don't like to hear this, but it is the case."

"What should Germany do? Do you really want to become a second Russia?" Rebecca asked.

"This is impossible." Yang Rui shook his head, "The Social Democratic Party had the opportunity to turn Germany into the second Russia just after the war ended, but this matter was not born, which means that Germany could not become the second Russia. History is selective. After the February Revolution in Russia, Kerensky and others also hoped that Russia could become the current Germany, which is the Weimar Republic you hate, but this was not successful. So in the end, Russia slid to **."

"What should Germany do?" Even Goring asked this time. Yang Rui's words contained philosophy, as if proclaiming God's will.

"The easiest way for Germany to take is a way to destroy Europe and then destroy itself." Yang Rui said, "Because many people think that the last war did not fail and the result of the peace talks was so humiliating and painful, it is what most people expect to start a war again. They hope to follow Leo's unfinished footsteps and finally end the war that was not fought ten years ago.

But they really forgot that the reason why the last war was born was because Germany dominated Europe and threatened Britain's world hegemony, and then successfully occupied the entire Europe, which would make Britain even more taboo. Germany's occupation of Europe was not the end of the war, but the beginning of the war."

"If Germany occupied Europe and China occupied Asia, then..." The last meeting was brought up by Gorene again, making Yang Rui want him to drive him out, but he thought that he was just a pilot with a shallow knowledge. He endured it again.

"Don't mention what a child like this." Yang Rui changed his tone and was deserted. He took a sip of tea before continuing: "At present, Germany is likely to embark on this road. If no one stops it, Hermann has been an air force pilot, so he should know what it feels like to have no oil. When the German team can only use horses, but the enemies are all trucks, chariots and planes, even if Sun Wu is alive, this war can only fail."

"The other road in Germany may be what you call restoration. If this road really exists, it depends on the intensity of the German civil war. If the civil war is simply won, it will eventually turn to the previous road. But if the civil war is fierce, all the Germans forget the humiliation brought by Versailles and the unfinished battle of Leo, this road will be successful. Although Germany is broken, it still exists." Yang Rui imagined history and couldn't help but say such words.

"That's all?" Goering and Rebecca seemed extremely disappointed. They both hoped that Germany would return to its former glory, but in Yang Rui's narrative, she could only be destroyed or broken.

"It can only be like this!" Yang Rui nodded in their expectant eyes, "If I am the German Chancellor and only consider it for myself but only for Germany, facing the angry and hungry people, the best way is to indulge the Bolsheviks in rebellion, and at the same time to indulge them to gain an advantage in the early stage of the civil war. At this time, the Treaty of Versailles and external reparations will automatically disappear, and the people's dissatisfaction with the government will turn to the Bolsheviks. A few years later, the war ended, the economic crisis ended in time, and the people's lives were better than before, and all the crises were lifted."

"But Alsace Lorraine will never come back..." Goering seemed heartbroken. He and all the Nazis were dissatisfied with the Treaty of Versailles. No matter what path they took, they all believed that what they lost should be taken back.

"So let the fierce civil war kill all those who are obsessed with Alsace Lorraine like you." Yang Rui said cruelly. "With the lack of strength, if you use your own ability to do something, it will only bring disaster to the country. This is like Japan. If Japan deliberately wants to fight with us and take Taiwan back, the result will be Japan's destruction. Now Japan has no complaints. In addition to knowing that it cannot be defeated, it is also Russian land that makes up for their loss to Taiwan.

But this is just Japan. Germany has nothing to make up for the losses of losing Alsace and Lorraine. Faced with dissatisfied and angry people, if they cannot walk the road of justice, they can only choose civil war and finally push all the sins to the Bolsheviks. Although this is cruel, at least Germany's existing territory has been preserved, most of the people have been preserved, and most of the property has been preserved."

"Uncle, if Europe has another war, will China go to Europe to join the war?" Rebecca asked when Goering was extremely disappointed.

"Like last time, if Germany could win, of course it would not send troops to participate in the war, but if it was destined to lose, China had no reason not to participate in the war. Don't forget that China was once a member of the Allies." Yang Rui told him frankly, not covering up.

"So, America is the key to everything," Rebecca asked.

"Very right!" Yang Rui looked at her with a smile, feeling a little relieved. "The United States is the key to everything. The Royal International Affairs Association of Britain and the American Diplomatic Relations Association are twins, and they dominate the direction of the whole world. You want to fight a war to regain lost territory and regain the glory of Germany in the past. I think they will agree with your ideas, because the war will bring the United States out of the quagmire in the economic crisis and also out of isolationism. World hegemony is shared by Britain and the United States. In this case, if Germany wants to take back Alsace Lorraine, it will only fill the entire country in."

"But what should the Soviet Union do?" At this time, Gorene and Rebecca had given up debating with Yang Rui. Gorene had not reached this level, and Rebecca only wanted to obtain more information when Yang Rui was willing to speak.

"Before completing the three five-year plan, Comrade Stalin was worried that the capitalist countries would take the initiative to attack him. Now is the third year of the first five-year plan. Thirty-one years ago, the Soviet Union would not provoke wars from the outside world. Moreover, the Bolsheviks' most common trick was the tactic of cutting sausages. At first, they were established trade unions, strikes, parades, then assassinations, explosions, riots, and finally border conflicts, local wars, and total wars. The Bolsheviks had many enemies, and they used infiltration and less wars, especially when they were not clear about your resistance. Only when they were sure that you were a weak person and there was no interference from the outside world, would he start a war.

Besides, Germany and the Soviet Union are not bordering. What are you thinking about the Soviet Union? That is the matter between Poland and Finland. The Curzon line was signed by the British and Russia. Once the Soviet army crossed the border, Britain and France endorsed it will naturally declare war on the Soviet Union. As a non-border country, what should Germany worry about? Taking the opportunity to make soy sauce is the fundamental."

The term "sauce" is something that the Germans do not know, including Rebecca. Seeing this, Yang Wuming on the side laughed and said, "It means to just fill in the numbers and eat and get a card and need to work harder."

After Yang Wuming finished speaking, Yang Rui continued: "The most dangerous thing about Germany is the dissatisfaction of the German people with the Treaty of Versailles. People cannot have enough food in the economic crisis, and this kind of emotion is easier to be exploited. If the exploiter lacks a world-class strategic vision and only focuses on the entire Europe, he will feel that Germany is indeed the first in Europe and completely forgets that there is an United States on the other side of the sea."

"Is the United States really invincible?" Goring asked quietly when he heard Yang Rui say this. "If Germany takes the initiative to attack the Soviet Union, he is unwilling to acquiesce Germany to occupy Europe?"

"Of course I don't want to!" Yang Rui nodded, "A strong Soviet Union and a powerful Germany, the Americans will certainly be close to the powerful Soviet Union and be hostile to the powerful Germany. There is no doubt."

"Why?!" Even Yang Wuming, who was attending the audience, was surprised this time, although he had long accepted some of his father's views.
