    Located at the junction of the Kingdom of W¨¹rttemberg and the Kingdom of Bavaria, which are part of the German Empire, and close to the Kocher River, a tributary of the Rhine River, there is a very inconspicuous small city called Swabia. Such small cities are prosperous throughout the German Empire.  In the prosperous western region, no one would notice their existence.  £À, ww¡èw.2¡Ì3wx.co¨Im However, in the General Staff of the German Empire, Swabia was a famous small town.  Because as early as 1782, Duke Carl II. Eugen of W¨¹rttemberg established a secret weapons testing base, the Eprat Testing Base, south of Swabia.  After the reunification of the German Empire, it became a military center for the Imperial Army.  Large areas of land around it have been circled into military restricted areas.  December 28, 1899, less than four days before the new century.  There is no festive atmosphere around this German Army weapons experimental base, and it even looks a bit weird.  The number of guards around the base has been increased at least three times.  In addition to the original fixed sentries, many patrol teams with German black wolfhounds were also added. On the road from Swabia to the Eprat test base, there were even more posts every five steps and one sentry every ten steps.  They were all Imperial Military Police wearing long coats and black helmets.  Four large Mercedes-Benz sedans powered by 6-cylinder, 48-horsepower engines sped past on a road guarded by military police.  Because of Zhu Jishi's butterfly effect - his outstanding contributions in the fields of chemistry, biology, and medicine, and the establishment of the Jason Central Laboratory and the Ming Dynasty Royal Laboratory - the scientific, technological and industrial development of this time and space is ahead of the original history.  More than 20 years!  Although we are still a few days away from the 20th century, we still have cars, airplanes, airships, submarines, and large warships driven by heavy oil-fired boilers and turbine steam engines that can easily weigh 30,000 to 40,000 tons.  They have all appeared one by one.  And the German Empire combined the best of industrial technology from Britain and Germany.  In the field of cutting-edge technology, especially cutting-edge military technology.  It is even better than the world-dominating Great China Empire standing on the highest peak of the world - at least this is what the German Emperor Wilhelm II, who is sitting in one of the Mercedes-Benz cars, thinks so.  However, the German Empire, which had leading technology, was being crushed by the world-dominating Great China Empire in many areas such as population, land, resources, industrial scale, and economic aggregate. According to the plan that was ousted by Wilhelm II 10 years ago.  The iron-blooded prime minister in his twilight years said: This is a confrontation between half Europe and half the world. The Chinese Empire has a vast land 20 to 30 times more than ours, a population 6 times more than ours, and a population 5 times more than ours.  Its industrial scale and naval tonnage are more than twice ours There is no chance of winning in an all-out confrontation with such a superpower. It will only destroy the hard-won empire!  But what if the German Empire could unite Europe first?  This is very possible!  The current situation in Europe is no longer as chaotic as it was a few decades ago. It has transformed from a cluster of small countries into a coalition of several large countries.  The most powerful is of course the German-English-Scottish-Polish common monarchy alliance; secondly the Roman Eastern Empire, which turned the Mediterranean into a lake; thirdly the Slavic Socialist Union Republic that emerged after the Russian Civil War; fourth is  Austria-Hungary United Empire; ranked fifth is Sweden-Norway-Finland Alliance.  Apart from the five major European powers, only a few insignificant countries such as the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, and Denmark remain.  And not all of the five major European powers are strong and strong.  The United Kingdom of Sweden, Norway, and Finland, which occupies the north, is just a big wallflower. It follows Rome when Rome is strong, and follows Germany when Germany is strong.  The Slavic Socialist Federation occupying the east is a loyal ally of Germany. Western Siberia in the east of the country is still under the rule of the Romanov dynasty supported by China, and is a sworn enemy of the Slavic People's Democratic Party.  As long as the Slavic People's Democratic Party does not destroy the Kingdom of Siberia, their main energy can only be placed in the east, becoming the eastern barrier of the German Empire.  As for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it has been in continuous decline for the past 20 years. Internally, the Slavs are fighting for independence, and externally, the three great empires of Germany, Slavs and Rome are eyeing it. They are not hanging on.  Nothing could stop the rise of the German Empire.  The only thing that poses an obstacle to Germany's dominance of Europe is the Roman Empire, which has become decadent but refuses to recognize it.  oh.  Or to be more precise, just the Roman Eastern Empire.  Because Mathilde I, the leader of the Western Roman Empire, had returned to the embrace of God 12 hours ago!  "My marshal, the Roman Empire has lost more than half of its power. I think it is time to crush it!" William II turned his head and looked at Marshal Alfred von Schlieffen, the chief of the imperial general staff beside him.  "Your Majesty, my opinion is that we should support Napoleon IV in putting pressure on his cousin." Alfred von Schlieffen adjusted his glasses frame and suggested in a low voice, "In exchange, Napoleon IV should  Divide the Austro-Hungarian Empire with us and the Slavic League.  " "Why is this?  Can't we just smash the empty shell of the Roman Empire?  " "Your Majesty, the bread should be eaten in one mouthful. Chewing it slowly will help digestion.  "Marshal Schlieffen smiled and explained, "If we rush into a fight with Napoleon IV we can indeed win, but the biggest winner is not us!  Moreover, it is difficult for us to get enough benefits.  " "Yes, Juan will be the biggest winner!  William II nodded, "Once the Eastern Roman Empire is defeated by us, Juan's Mexican Kingdom will be the only leader that the Western Roman Empire can rely on. By then, he will become the master of all Latin America!"  HoweverLatin America cannot confront Europe under any circumstances!  " "What if we add Donghua, Beihua and the entire Greater China?  "    "Greater China?  Wasn't their Emperor Xuanwu worried that Juan would become the Great Emperor of America?  "William II shook his head. "This is not an unsolvable problem. Your Majesty, don't forget that the Chinese Emperor is still alive. He must have a way to adjust the conflict between his two sons.  In fact, there is no unifying power between Donghua and the Western Roman Empire.  The Western Roman Empire did not need Donghua's agricultural products, and could not provide Donghua with enough cheap and high-quality light industrial products.  The most important thing is that the Western Roman Empire was a white-dominated empire, while Donghua was a country of yellow people. Once Donghua and the Western Roman Empire merged, the dominance of the yellow people in Donghua would be challenged.  Furthermore, the current King of Donghua, Zhu Bangyu, does not have the right to inherit the throne of Mexico because his identity cannot be recognized by the Catholic Church.  In addition, King Juan of Mexico married Maria Letizia of the Bonaparte family 10 years ago and gave birth to a son, Juan II, who will be the future heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Mexico" Mexico and Donghua  The special relationship is the focus of research by all experts on international political issues in this time and space, and they have studied it thoroughly. People like Schlieffen are naturally experts on Donghua-Mexico issues. He continued: "  Mexico and Donghua can fight side by side, but they cannot merge into one country, so the Ming Empire will still support Juan to become the ruler of Western Rome.  " "So we can only support Napoleon IV?  "William II was a little reluctant. Although he was good friends with Napoleon IV when he was young, personal relationships could never replace national interests. "Our support is not unconditional. We want to win Austria, Bohemia and Mora.  Via.  " "But Napoleon IV was also able to win Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Mendnegro, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina In this carve-up, the Roman Empire did not suffer!  " "Yes, if you look at the map, the Roman Empire did not suffer.  However, obtaining those lands and people would not promote the strength of the Roman Empire in any way. Instead, it would distract the strength of the Western Roman Empire, which was not very strong in the first place.  After the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Roman Empire will defend both us and the Slavs in the Balkans.  This will definitely weaken the defense of France, the core of the Roman Eastern Empire, which will help us launch a surprise attack on it!  " "Already have a plan for a surprise attack?  William II asked with interest. Using a quick surprise attack to solve the Roman Eastern Empire was a principle established as early as 10 years ago. But the principle is one thing, and the plan and implementation are another.  . As early as the reign of Napoleon III, France and the Roman Empire spent huge sums of money to build the J¨¦r?me-Pierre Line of Defense, which stretched from the border between Switzerland and France to the sea, and stretched for nearly 700 kilometers. Over the past few decades, this line of defense has been reinforced.  And the expansion project has never stopped. According to the information obtained by the Germans, a total of about 14,000 permanent fortifications of various purposes have been constructed throughout the defense line, with a density of 20 tops and walls of the strongest reinforced concrete fortifications per kilometer of frontage.  The armored tower is 3.5 meters thick and can withstand two direct hits from 420mm mortar shells. The barbed wire and trenches are densely covered, and the total length can circle the earth several times, and it is set up in all important areas!  A powerful electrified barbed wire! "Yes, Your Majesty, we already have a raid plan!  "Marshal Schlieffen smiled and nodded, "The assault plan is based on an unprecedentedly powerful weapon - the armored fighting vehicle. Its emergence will make the defenses composed of trenches and barbed wire completely useless overnight.  !  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
