"Germany has prepared for this." At this moment, Prince Sheng's body became more and more straight as a sword. "When Siegfried's horn (The Song of Nibelonroot) sounded, the Germans would raise their swords and crosses without hesitation, bringing German justice to the Western world."

Zheng Yu nodded to Prince William with approval; "Your Highness, your decisiveness is admirable. After Ling's great-grandfather and Lingzun, it seems that the German Empire will gain another great emperor with a strong will......"

Prince William smiled humbly.

"Yes, the Germans were people who slept on spears, and war was not their choice, but their instinct.

Any great nation needs this spirit of fighting." Zheng Yu said with emotion, "The Germans are descendants of Odin............ Your Highness, what do you think of the Chinese? "This is a nation with a long history, great and civilized history." Crown Prince William said without hesitation, "They are hardworking and wise, and have contributed a lot of great spiritual and material wealth to human civilization. In Mark Bo Luo's travels, the Chinese are hospitality, gentle and kind. In my current opinion, the Chinese people are even more brave."

"We Chinese are also descendants of the God of War." As soon as Zheng Yu said, Crown Prince William was slightly stunned. "In our legend, two ancestors, Emperor Yan, competed with Emperor Huang, and Huang, and defeated Yan Emperor, the war god Xing Tian, ​​and then defeated another God of War, Chi You, and created the foundation of China. The history of the Chinese ancestors is the history of constant conquest. Our Chinese were born in war, grew stronger than war, and were reborn again and again in the war, and kept moving forward."

Prince William was a little suspicious, but he didn't want to fight Zheng Yu on this issue, but he just agreed casually.

Zheng Yu could naturally hear the unrealistic words of the other party; "Does Your Highness think that China's image in Western culture seem to be difficult to associate with the word "Shangwu"?"

Prince William was slightly embarrassed and nodded frankly after a moment; "It's a little bit."

"This is also a regret of history......... In ancient Chinese books, my ancestors threw away their helmets on the battlefield where arrows were like rain, with prisoners under their arms, and heads hanging on them to chase away opponents. They swept across the eight deserts and slaughtered all enemies who dared to resist. The powerful Huns were driven away several times and finally moved to the West; the Turkic royal court was eliminated, and the remaining tribes were flown into the river and arrived in Asia Minor, becoming today's Turkish Ottoman. In terms of martial arts and good at fighting, my Chinese ancestors are actually the first brave and good at fighting nation in the world."

Zheng Yu sighed, "But China has been strong for too long, and most of the time around it lacks hostile countries that are truly enough to threaten China. Such a nation will become weak in culture, accustomed to enjoyment, and tired of conquests under long-term peace. In order to facilitate rule, the monarchs used various castrated cultural products to poison intellectuals and fool the people, turning the brave and warlike lions into foolish sheep, allowing the power to drive and enslave them. Over time, the gap within the nation is huge... the spirit of martial arts is gone."

"To learn from history and today's Chinese civilization to maintain vitality for a long time, it is necessary to maintain a martial spirit at all times. The preparation for war, as well as the war itself, is an effective means to maintain the vitality and cohesion of the nation, and to prevent the nation from falling apart in the depravity and castration."

Zheng Yu stared at Prince William and said word by word; "Please ask His Highness and Emperor William II not to doubt the will of the Chinese Empire. War is not an unavoidable disaster for the Chinese people, but a normal life itself. Although the Chinese do not abuse their force, they are never afraid of war... and even welcome some kind of war that can bring benefits to China......"

A hint of excitement flashed across Prince William's face.

Zheng Yu was confident.

He knew that the German Emperor had placed such a large price before, and the purpose was to pull China on the German chariot and become a bargaining chip for Germany to threaten Britain and France. Once Britain and France refused, Germany would probably pull China and bring that little brother to war against Britain and France. Using China to attack Britain's colonial system in the Far East and restrain the power of the United States, so that Germany could kill all sides in Europe was the German Emperor's small calculation. As for whether Germany will make peace unilaterally after obtaining necessary compensation in the future, it is another matter.

Zheng Yu also has his own plan in his mind.

In this critical period of great social transformation, great economic transformation, cultural transformation, and great transformation of the world pattern, seized the opportunity and came to this point. Zheng Yu knew that there were factors that made previous time travelers accumulate strength, his own factors, and there were also reasons for coincidence.

He knew that with China's current situation, even if the goal of economic construction is completed as scheduled in ten years, it is still not suitable to invest in a decision-making war against Western powers such as Britain, France and the United States. He has greatly improved the country's geopolitical situation and has newly acquired a large number of territories. The national issues, social differentiation, democratization process, education issues, moral norms, rule of law construction and other issues need to be solved urgently, and long-term and solid efforts are required.

China now does not need to bribe again, nor is it suitable for gambling.

Time stands on the side of Zheng Yu and on the side of China. This country is still light and Zheng Yu is still young. They all have time, doing the work they deserve step by step and laying a solid foundation.

In this process, China needs to seize or even promote all key opportunities, and cannot blindly tie the chariot of European powers and hand over its destiny to others. In the blueprint designed by Zheng Yu, there can only be one real protagonist in the future world history; China.

In cooperation with Germany, what he wanted was to put Germany on the track of China and try to make good use of this ambitious and dissatisfied European power. So he wanted to convey some information to Germany that the other party wanted to see, prompting the other party to firmly make certain judgments, and on the real key issues, he never thought of really giving up the initiative.

"Your Highness, I think I have understood Germany's determination." Zheng Yu paused and continued, "Germany also needs to doubt China's will. These two nations are located in the center of Europe and Asia respectively, shouldering the leadership responsibilities of the East and the West. For world peace and to build a more fair and reasonable world order, we need to join hands."

Prince William bowed deeply at the moment, and then stood up and his face was full of perseverance; "Your Majesty, your invitation is the honor of me and even the entire Germany. In the name of God, Germany is willing to defend the friendship between China and Germany with blood."

"This is also what my country means." Zheng Yu nodded with relief... "Your Highness, I think we have reached an agreement on this point. This is a very exciting thing... Now, let's return to more specific and realistic issues."

Zheng Yu paused and continued, "As a friend of Germany, I must first understand what preparations Germany has made for possible future wars? How do you want to engage in such a war and ensure the victory of the war?"

"Once a terrible war occurs, it will be a war between Britain, France and Germany, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and of course your country, Azer-Singman and other allies to determine the survival of nation-states." Crown Prince William said solemnly, "In this war, Germany will no longer have any reservations, but will use all its power to destroy the land power of Britain and France with the greatest cruelty, destroy their war potential, block the English Channel, completely isolate the British mainland, and force the British to surrender. All British interests in the Far East will naturally belong to the great Chinese Empire."

"Your Highness, I do not doubt Germany's determination, but I hope to understand what kind of way you are going to avoid the war." Zheng Yu saw that Prince William had some misunderstandings and further explained, "For example, how are you going to mobilize your own strength? How are you going to exert your power?"

Prince William nodded; "Germany has always adopted a conscription system to start the war. Within one week, Germany can mobilize 1.5 million soldiers, and within one month of the war, it can mobilize 4.5 million soldiers.

Zheng Yu shook his head gently.

"Your Highness, it seems that your understanding of war is still at the confrontation of the national armed forces." Zheng Yu turned his eyes to the distant sky, his voice calmly, "Do you know the real root of our victory in this war?"

Prince William asked tentatively, "Because of motorized troops, airships, new warships......"

"These are all very important, but they are not the root of victory." Zheng Yu smiled, "We can win because we fought a different war; overall Prince William was slightly stunned; "Total war?"

"Yes, total war. To integrate all the spiritual and material power of the country to the extreme, and engage in the strategy of war with all resources of the whole nation." As soon as Zheng Yu said, Prince William's face was incredibly shocked. "Total war has made the power of war rooted in all the people. He takes national survival as the only and supreme goal and soldiers as the most direct tool, and completely unites the entire country from both spiritual and material aspects, and uses the power of the entire nation rather than certain classes and groups to engage in a destined national decisive battle, thereby achieving the goal of expanding the living space and achieving great or even thorough improvement of the nation's living environment."

"This is the fundamental reason why we swept across Russia, Japan, Siam with the power of a mere country, and then advanced to Siberia and Central Asia, achieving a brilliant victory." Zheng Yu took a deep breath, "In such a national decisive battle, neither side has a way out. Either we step on the enemy's corpse, or the enemy step on our corpse!"

Prince William's body shook slightly, obviously shocked by such loud words.

"In the overall war, we must use the strong state institutions to uniformly manage the national economy... Through unified planning, all resources will be mobilized to serve the war. Whether it is the distribution of machinery and equipment, the allocation of raw materials, labor power, and the allocation of living materials, we must be scientifically planned." Zheng Yu said, "In the field of culture, the people must be re-educated the great significance of war, understand what kind of cause the country and nation are engaging in, and mobilize their enthusiasm thoroughly. Whether it is adult men, children, elderly and weak, they need to contribute to the national war in their own ways."

"Only in this way can we fully dig out the power hidden among the people, and use the power of the whole nation to impose the violent machine of the army on the enemy, completely destroy the resistance, and achieve the final victory." Zheng Yu said, "This kind of total war is destined to be no longer a quick battle. A battle to conclude a favorable contract through a war, nor is it a confrontation war against the enemy, but a national survival battle with the goal of destroying the enemy's entire army... to disintegrate the enemy's regime and even dominate its territory and people. Whether it is victorious or defeat, the people have to pay a lot. No one can stay out of the matter, no one can act as a deserter, and once the failure... the people who have been completely mobilized may also turn anger and disappointment into a revolution, leading to the collapse of the government."

"The total war is a double-edged sword, either killing the enemy or killing itself." Zheng Yu stared at Prince William with a solemn tone, "China has insisted on his total war with the will of steel and won. So what about Germany? Does it have the overall war, with Britain and France... and may even have to add Russia and even the United States to fight to the death?"

At this moment, Prince William also lost his previous calmness and calmness... The expression on his face changed drastically.

All of this was indeed a huge impact on him.

Germany in this era lacked a deep understanding of the war between industrialized countries in the new era. The German General Staff, shrouded in Moltke's thought, was represented by Sliffen... and always regarded the fast-track war-style war-style war as the criterion, fighting a "sè" battle to conclude favorable peace treaties.

The German team, after the French-Prussian War, as class contradictions in Germany gradually overwhelmed national contradictions, became the first tool to maintain domestic stability. As early as 877, Wadesi, who later became the chief of staff, demanded the forcibly overturning the constitution to prevent the increasing strength of non-noble elements. It was only because William I, the then German emperor, never issued an order that the German team did not take action.

In 1980, the German left-wing Social Democrats won a majority in the general election... The military used this as the clarion call for the battle. On March 20 of that year, the Secretary of the Army, Dufelnoy, issued an order... to be prepared for the army to be ready, and once the Social Democrats launched unrest, they would immediately crush their organization. This order has continued to this day and received full support from William II. In October 1980, William II issued a cabinet order to grant the Berlin Military Control Commander the Guards and Third Corps when he thought it was appropriate to use the Guards and Third Corps to fight the "internal enemy". A year later, William II reminded "you must be prepared to shoot your relatives and brothers" when presided over the oath of allegiance to the new Guards. In 1980, the imperial edict announced that local military commanders could "select the appropriate time by themselves" to replace civilian authorities and suppress civilians by force.

With the joint efforts of the emperor and the military, the German Army became an army of "bayonet first to the inside". In the year two, William II announced that he would rather have a small-scale strict discipline and reliable army than make constitutional concessions." Seven years later, the Prussian Army announced that it would strengthen the strength of the guard battalions and "prepare for the possible unexpected events in view of the huge population of Berlin." Army Secretary Enem admitted to Congress in 194 that he liked "soldiers who were loyal to the monarchs and religious, rather than any Social Democrats."

He also warned Chief of Staff Schliffen not to expand the size of the army, because "this will inevitably lead to the infiltration of democrats and other elements into the army."

In another time and space, when Sliffen formulated a plan for combat against France, William II warned Prime Minister Feng Bilo that the empire "did not send even one soldier and one soldier to leave the German territory" because this would endanger the safety and property of its citizens in the face of the "growing threat of red". In the New Year's Document of 196, William II declared that "firstly knock down the socialists, chop their heads, and make them unable to harm them, rely on the massacre when necessary, and then fight outside our borders. Do not do the opposite and do not rush."

Although the German ** political system was covered in the cloak of parliamentary politics and constitutional system, it always had the greatest vigilance against the lower class people, and therefore regarded the army as the "last security tie", and was hesitant to rely on the full mobilization of the people to fight for victory in foreign wars, so he placed victory wishful thinking on intimidation and early quick victory.

Crown Prince William has been influenced by classic German military education and has always believed in this "cabinet war" idea. However, what he heard and witnessed after coming to China is subverting his understanding of war and national defense.

"Your Highness, do you think that the future war breaking out in Europe will be a quick battle or a protracted war?"

Prince William looked at the Eastern Emperor, who was six or seven years younger than him, and thought for a moment and said seriously. "If there was no joining your country and no motorized assault, if this war cannot achieve its goal within two months, it will inevitably become a protracted war, and no one can predict how long the war will last."

"As for now, Germany is absolutely sure to end the war within three months." Crown Prince William said firmly, "The Iron Crusade flag will surely float on the Champs Elysees again." (To be continued!.
