Speaking of which, the world war taught Germany too many lessons.
No powerful allies, no sources of raw materials, no colonial imports, and no sea control
In the final analysis, Germany is still not strong enough. If Germany can quickly bulldoze France, then destroy the British fleet and gain control of the sea, then the direction of the world war may be completely different.
Apart from anything else, if the war develops in Germany's favor, Americans may not necessarily stand against Germany.
Don't think of Americans as being too noble. They are just a group of businessmen. Their profit-seeking nature determines that their stance is not very firm. The interests of the country or the interests of the oligarchs are their only stance.
Having said this, we can understand how annoyed and unwilling William III was when he heard Qin Zhiyuan talk about the idea of combining aircraft and torpedoes.
With Germany's scientific research capabilities, it is not difficult to achieve this. Perhaps Germany needs less time to complete the torpedo aircraft verification than Lanfang, and the torpedo aircraft it builds is more advanced than Lanfang's.
If German scientists could have thought of this idea earlier, if Qin Zhiyuan could have appeared on the European battlefield earlier and joined the German side, if time could be turned back to the day before the war began.
Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs.
Qin, you know, according to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty, we cannot develop the air force now, so now it is time to fulfill our agreement. William III wanted to further deepen the friendship between Germany and Lanfang.
Yes, I can promise you that they will be treated without any difference, no different from before. Qin Zhiyuan agreed.
Prior to this, some German soldiers had joined the Lanfang army by joining the Foreign Legion or directly acquiring Lanfang citizenship. Most of them were in the navy, and there were also many armored troops and artillery in the army.
William III's attitude was obvious. He wanted more German soldiers to join the Lanfang Air Force.
Qin Zhiyuan welcomes this and intends to increase this cooperation: I need more thoughtful officers who can join the military academies in Lanfang to improve the teaching strength of these schools so as to cultivate more grassroots officers.
.
Qin Zhiyuan's Foreign Legion is indeed powerful, but it still has shortcomings in the training of officers. Too many grassroots officers have not received systematic military training. Their experience comes from actual combat. This may seem effective, but it is very difficult.
There is little room for improvement.
Qin Zhiyuan needs to strengthen the theoretical foundation of grassroots officers, and even many senior officers need to strengthen their basic theory.
Germany's basic theoretical strength is strong. Although the German military academy is not as famous as West Point in the United States or Sandhurst in the United Kingdom, its practicality is not bad at all.
Of course. Among my entourage, there are 500 pilots and nearly a hundred military instructors of various levels. I hope they can play a role immediately. William III is indeed well prepared.
No, no, no, it's not possible now. They must first enter a language school to study, and at least understand some commonly used Chinese, so that they can communicate with their peers without any obstacles. Qin Zhiyuan has long-term plans.
Qin Zhiyuan vaguely remembered watching a video in another time and space. It seemed to be a military exercise of an African country. When the authentic Jiaodong accent began to speak from the mouth of the old black general, he felt inexplicably happy.
In this time and space, if a blond German with blue eyes spoke serious Northeastern dialect, it would be so subversive to his outlook on life.
Haha, they don’t need to enter a language school. They have already learned Bai Jia Xing and Qian Zi Wen before, so they should have no problem in daily communication. William III’s language was amazing, and the words Bai Jia Xing and Qian Zi Wen were actually in Chinese.
Said.
This is also a thoughtful person
It was so unbelievable that Qin Zhiyuan was stunned.
Hahahaha I'm not the best at learning, Olaf, let's try a tongue twister. William III was very satisfied with the effect of the little surprise he carefully prepared.
This is indeed a surprise for Qin Zhiyuan.
Without talking about it at the national level, even if two people are dealing with each other, if one person takes the initiative to learn the other person's language in order to have an in-depth communication with the other person, this is enough to prove sincerity.
Okay, eat grapes without spitting out grape skin. Olaf is articulate and speaks clearly.
Qin Zhiyuan fell into a sluggish state. Even if Qin Zhiyuan said it himself, he might not be able to speak so smoothly.
Okay, don't be so ignorant. Language is something that members of the royal family must learn, and the more the better. William III was very satisfied with Qin Zhiyuan's reaction.
This is true. Generally speaking, members of the royal family have more resources than ordinary people, and they also have greater responsibilities.
A member of the royal family, not only knows everything about astronomy and geography, but at least has to dabble in various subjects, so as not to be unable to talk to professionals in the future. At the same time, the more he learns about languages, the better he will be.
Well, not to mention being proficient in ten or eight foreign languages, commonly used languages such as English, French, Spanish, and German basically require barrier-free communication.
Of course, there will be another Chinese language in the future, and Qin Zhiyuan is very confident about this.
Oh, thinking about my son's miserable life in the future, I can already feel that Qin Zhiyuan's perspective is unique.
This is normal. The more resources they enjoy, the more responsibilities they should bear. This is indisputable. William III looked at his two sons with eyes full of pity.
It is estimated that William III did not know that Olaf, whom he had carefully cultivated, would give up his right to inherit the family head in order to marry a woman of commoner origin. This was the German version of the Duke of Windsor, but it was a pity that the Kaiser had already abdicated at that time.
, that’s why he is not as famous as the authentic Duke of Windsor.
You seemed to be having a great time chatting. Qin Zhiyuan and William III were chatting happily when Cecilia floated over silently.
It was indeed floating over. As a queen, Cecilia was naturally very well behaved.
Cecilia was wearing a long palace-style dress with a wide skirt that was common in European courts. When she walked, her shoulders swayed almost unnoticeably, and naturally the movements of her feet were not visible. It really looked like she was floating over.
You guys had a good chat. William III gave me a doting smile.
Yes, Your Majesty, Julie and I had a great chat, but Julie can't sit for a long time, she needs more rest. Cecilia is so attentive.
Ordinarily, now is the time when she needs to get close to her, but Cecilia is willing to consider the problem from Julie's perspective. This is undoubtedly a more considerate behavior and will increase her points faster.
Oh, I almost forgot, Qin, let’s talk later, later. William III suddenly realized.
Haha, thank you very much, Cecilia, you are so considerate. Qin Zhiyuan sends his thanks.
So Qin Zhiyuan ordered people to send William III and his family to rest first, and continued to communicate with William III during the dinner.
Just when William III and his family were going to rest, the German instructors who followed William III to Lanfang also received their own house keys.
Are there no daily necessities? We didn’t bring anything with us. Rommel was a little reluctant to carry his own keys.
Yes, this is the famous Rommel from another time and space.
After the World War, the 28-year-old Rommel entered the Dresden Infantry School as a tactics instructor. When William III selected instructors for Lanfang, Rommel was selected for his outstanding tactical qualities.
Rommel had no intention of resisting going to Lanfang, which was thousands of miles away.
Rommel knew very well that if he stayed in Germany, it would be difficult to find opportunities to participate in the war in the next few decades. This would undoubtedly be a tragedy for a soldier, so going to Lanfang became Rommel's best option.
choose.
Sir, everything is ready for you in the room, you just need to open the door. The first class soldier in charge of distributing the keys has a serious expression.
Okay, thank you. Rommel got the answer he wanted. Without any more nonsense, he took several colleagues and followed the guard responsible for guiding them to his dormitory.
Different from the dormitory that Rommel imagined, Rommel's dormitory was built on a hillside facing the sea. At most 200 meters away from Rommel's dormitory, there is a white sand beach and crystal-pure sea water.
It is a bit inappropriate to describe it as a dormitory. The dormitory assigned to Rommel is a two-story wooden house. It is the same as the common buildings on Penglai Island. It has a red roof and cyan walls. The color combination is very reasonable and makes people feel very comfortable.
.
A cobblestone path leads directly through the lawn to Rommel's door. There is a lounge chair on the corridor at the door and a coffee pot on the small table next to it. Everything is so warm and all the details are perfect. It's really impressive.
Feel at home.
Rommel thanked the guard who brought him here and did not rush into the house. He first went to sit on a lounge chair in the corridor.
Close your eyes and feel the gentle sea breeze gently caressing your face. You can feel the gentleness of the sun, which is not violent at all. The air is full of the smell of green grass and sea water. What lingers in your ears is the faint sound of waves and the endless sound.
Know where the singing of birds comes from.
Opening your eyes, you can see the distant mountains and the sea. The blue sky is inlaid with a few white clouds, and the sea is dotted with white sails. The lawn in front of the door is green and looks very comfortable. You can even feel it with your palms resting on the armrests.
to a clear wooden texture.
There was a coffee pot on the small table at hand, and Rommel poured a cup. The aroma was really fragrant, and you could feel the mellowness when you smelled it. It had a completely different feeling from European coffee.
Well, this is the origin of coffee.
Rommel suddenly understood the reason.
Almost instantly, Rommel fell in love with this place.
