Within the Allied Powers group, this kind of voice is everywhere. They believe that they cannot bow to the Daqian Empire, and they can even put aside their hatred with the Junkers Empire, and then solve the Daqian Empire first, so that they can keep the Westerners. status.
But there is no such voice within the Junker Empire. They think that their power has been strengthened. It turns out that when facing the Allied Powers group, you people were so arrogant towards us that you did not take us seriously at all. They even threatened to destroy us at any time. Now that our Eastern allies have come, do you still have such ability?
Junker Imperial Legation.
"Haha, who do these guys think they are? Are their brains flooded with water? Even if their brains are flooded with water, my head will never be flooded. Put aside the hatred between us and go first After destroying the Daqian Empire, these people can say it. After destroying the Daqian Empire, can our Junker Empire still exist? If they don’t continue to deal with us, do they really think that we are all idiots? Only fools can They will go their own way, and these people think they are already the masters of the world."
William II took the newspaper and said, this guy is dismissive of the comments within the Allied Powers group. Do you think we are fools? Only if all of us have lost our IQ will we abandon the people of the Great Empire and then fight with you. The Allied Powers united together and finally shed blood on the battlefield. You can get supplements from the colonies, and our Junker Empire has been weakening.
As for the report in the newspaper that the Allied Powers and the Central Powers can live together peacefully, William II would not even believe a single letter. If they can live together peacefully, what will happen to the millions of troops near the border now? Is it possible that our Is there already too much military spending and no place to spend it? Is this why the armies of both sides are confronting each other at the border? With this money, wouldn’t we be able to develop the economy much better than it is now? Why create such a military crisis?
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right. These people regard us as fools. As long as the Suppressing Army is willing to cooperate with us, although we are still at a disadvantage now, as long as we strengthen cooperation and our army's combat effectiveness is relatively high, Strong, we really can't say where this war will go in the future. If after the war starts, they can quickly occupy the colonies of the Allied Powers in the east and cut off the supply lines of the colonies to them, then we will have a lot to achieve. "
The attaché of the embassy thought for a while and said, if they have any disadvantages now, the biggest disadvantage is that they don't have so many colonies. Each colony is like a blood cow, able to compensate the suzerain country for certain losses at any time, but the Junker Empire It was too late to rise. By the time they rose up, the entire world had been carved up. Unless they carried out a large-scale war, they would not be able to obtain any piece of land. Now they are on the edge of war, but the Allied Powers have abandoned Having come up with such a theory, we are really being treated like children.
"You are right, but the decision-making power on this matter is not in our hands. We cannot decide what the Allied Powers think, let alone what Gao Shaoyi thinks. I hope he can know that cooperation with us is the only way out. If If he continues to be a fence-sitter, the Allied Powers will abandon him sooner or later."
William II is not a fool. In the long-term contact process, he has basically understood that Gao Shaoyi has always been swinging around, hoping to obtain the greatest benefits. For a relatively weak country, doing so It is indeed the best, but in the end you have to take sides. If you don't take sides, both sides may regard you as a target.

Gao Shaoyi did not expect that a joint military exercise would cause such a big response. Almost all Western newspapers were publishing this joint military exercise. Many newspapers gave a huge feature, and even the threat theory of the Daqian Empire appeared.
It was too weak in the past, but now it only dispatched a small fleet, and something like this happened.
"Stop the mobilization of the Nanyang Fleet immediately. If we continue to mobilize the Nanyang Fleet to confront them near Yancheng, this threat theory will continue to rise. For the time being, we have to be conservative and make some concessions to them. We are now You can’t become their target, you can only show off your muscles to a limited extent.”
Gao Shaoyi quickly made adjustments. If the current situation continues to develop, I don't know what these Western conspirators will say. Western people don't have much thinking at all. If they are kidnapped by newspapers, If so, they might really take tough measures against us, which would be of no benefit to the long-term strategy.
"Doesn't this mean that we have to give in? If we give in, our domestic thoughts will also come to us. Since the rise of our suppressing army, the thoughts of the people have been completely different from before. It is very likely that they will not be able to Accept this form of concession, even if it is just a strategic concession."
Rongkang also arrived here from China to discuss this matter. After listening to Rongkang's words, Gao Shaoyi felt a little hesitant in his heart. The people's self-confidence was cultivated and he demanded a tough foreign policy in everything. , if we do not give in, the people will certainly be satisfied, but it will most likely further stimulate the Allied Powers, and by then some things may not be easy to say.
"But it is impossible not to make concessions in the current situation. Although the Allied Powers Group has not expressed its position yet, according to my understanding of them, under the current circumstances, they will continue to implement the appeasement policy, but they must give an explanation to the people below. Didn't you see? People in several cities have already begun to demonstrate. Public opinion cannot be violated. I think they all understand that if they do something a little bit but intensify the conflict, it will be the most difficult thing to deal with at that time. It's us."
Gao Shaoyi said in a deep voice, once that situation comes and the opponent shows his knife, we have to bite the bullet and go up. Then the policies formulated by Gao Shaoyi before may be completely invalid. We just want to stimulate them earlier. When the war started, I didn't expect that when it came to conspiracies and intrigues, the people in the West were much stronger than us, and they all passed it on to the common people.
