At the train station, William II held his cousin's hand and said earnestly, "Read the book I gave you carefully. Mr. Max Weber is a scholar with profound insights. The German Confederation must be rebuilt so that it can face the situation with greater strength." Challenges in the future. Now the Emperor Wei Ze of the Republic of China is pursuing a national policy of peace, but he will not live for a few years. Once he dies, his successors will have their own policies and lines. " Archduke Ferdinand nodded slightly. After his cousin ousted Prime Minister Bismarck, he adopted a completely new policy. In the Republic of China, there was also a saying that once the Emperor Wei Ze died, changes would inevitably occur. But Archduke Ferdinand asked another question, "Cousin, do you think Denmark is still willing to follow the British?" "That is not important. What is important is that I persuade Germany to accept the Czech Republic, and you have to try to persuade Austria to give up its role in the Balkans. expansion. Croatia, the outlet of the Mediterranean Sea, is very important. I believe that Germany can still understand this. However, Austria finally allowed Hungary to leave with the Slavs. Don't create a three-dimensional empire without causing trouble!" William II said seriously! narrating his views. Archduke Ferdinand agreed with this view. His uncle Franz Joseph I had a stubborn insistence on opening up territories, and this persistence was more for the sake of face. Archduke Ferdinand did not have this problem. Like many young Austrian nobles, he believed that this was a good time for Germany to be reunited. The two brothers had a strong consensus on the same topic, and they talked about it endlessly. They talked until the train was about to leave before reluctantly parting. William II watched the train start and waved goodbye to the carriage where his cousin was riding. Before the train was out of sight, the adjutant sent a telegram. These lieutenants are all sons of nobles, and they know very well when not to disturb. Being able to deliver it at this time is probably really big news. After opening the telegraph newspaper and reading it, William II's eyes widened with a puzzled expression. After a moment, he raised his hands to cover the lower half of his face and shed tears. The telegram contained a sentence: "Franz Joseph I, Emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, died early this morning." The attendant bowed his head slightly respectfully, but he had already seen His Majesty the Emperor crying. The attendant was very puzzled by this. He did not know that the German Emperor Wilhelm II had such a deep kinship with the Austrian Emperor. In terms of blood relationship, the deceased Queen Victoria of India was much closer than the recently deceased Emperor of Austria. However, when the Queen of India died, William II was not so excited. William II was not in love with him at this time. When the second emperor learned that the second emperor had passed away, he cried with joy from the bottom of his heart. The death of the old man with the granite head greatly increases the possibility of rebuilding the German Confederation. God bless Germany. If the Chinese emperor also died at this time, the situation might be better, William II came up with such an idea for no reason. Chinese Emperor Wei Ze did not know that the German Emperor was looking forward to his death so much. Even if Wei Ze knew, he probably would not have any reaction. He was feeling sad because of Wei Changrong's death. Only Wei Ze and Wei Changrong of the Wei family participated in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The other relatives were killed by enemies they had formed when they were mercenaries. Although the two are uncle and nephew, Wei Ze can't help but regard Wei Changrong as a brother. Of course, Wei Ze's views on Wei Changrong do not represent all of Wei Changrong. Although Wei Changrong is Wei Ze's nephew, for the Republic of China, Wei Changrong is a founding father and revolutionary hero. He is a party and state leader who has held a series of important positions, and finally became the Minister of Organization and a member of the Political Bureau. The funeral was extremely solemn, and in addition to Weiser, all national leaders attended in person. Wei Kun gritted his teeth and took a flight to set off. The plane departed from the port city of Nanzhan in East Africa, first arrived in Madagascar Province, and then flew to Sinhala, which is controlled by the civilian dynasty. After the plane landed at Kra Canal Airport, Wei Kun finally felt at ease. Finding a small island accurately in the vast sea really made Wei Kun feel extremely worried. Qi Rui was unable to attend the funeral. Flying from North America to Asia is really a long journey, and by the time Qi Rui arrived, the funeral was already over. So Qi Rui sent a report and asked the Central Office to help him send wreaths and elegiac couplets. He himself was still immersed in the work of establishing an armored force. This armored vehicle, named T34 by Weiser, uses five pairs of road wheels, torsion bar suspension, hydraulic shock absorption, a radio in the car, and four members with dedicated intercom headsets. Engineers involved in the manufacturing were full of praise for the overall design. Everyone did not expect that this big guy with a total weight of 22 tons could actually run very fast, walk smoothly on rugged roads, and even easily cross a 1.4-meter-deep river. Although there were countless details to consider during the process, the basic design was so good that the details intrigued these young engineers. The design team set up several new research groups to focus on different details, which increased the number of participants and improved security a lot.If one group is responsible for all projects, if you want to steal tank technology, you only need to attack one group. Now that the group has a small number of people, it is much easier to manage. The unit responsible for each detail has no idea who the other participating units are, and most participating units have no idea what projects they are involved in. Armored vehicles and tractors actually have many things in common. It's just that the requirements for armored vehicles are far more stringent than those for civilian tractors. Qi Rui also considered that the future opponent of armored vehicles will be armored vehicles, but this combat task was handed over to the T59 armored vehicle that was subsequently studied. The T34 armored vehicle cannot compare with the T59 in terms of armor thickness and gun weight. The T34 is equipped with a 55x75 single-wall self-tightening gun. It is not equipped with armor-piercing projectiles. The purpose is to defeat the enemy in the field. There are also some radicals who have designed a light armored vehicle based on the T34 with a top speed of 30 kilometers per hour, using a 50x60 gun, a parallel machine gun, a large body shape, an armor thickness of 20-40mm, and a total weight of 16 tons. According to calculations, the average pressure of this armored vehicle is lower than the average pressure of a human foot. In theory, it can even travel through swamps. Gritting his teeth, Qi Rui approved the plan. He did not tell others that armored vehicles and armored warfare were proposed by his father, Weiser. Therefore, Qi Rui is willing to give young people a chance, not to mention the design idea of ??this light tank looks very reliable. As soon as this matter was completed, someone appeared outside Qi Rui¡¯s office door. The secretary came in and announced, "Comrade Zhong Fugui wants to see you." Zhong Fugui was only a lieutenant when he retired from the army. You can imagine how difficult it is for him to meet General Qi Rui. But in reality, no one thinks so, including Zhong Fugui himself. Qi Rui did not refuse. He asked his secretary to invite Zhong Fugui in. During the North American War, Zhong Fugui worked as a guard for Qi Rui for four years. No matter what Zhong Fugui asked of Qi Rui, Qi Rui could not refuse to see him. After Zhong Fugui came in, he saluted Qi Rui when he came up. Qi Rui didn't notice that Zhong Fugui was a retired soldier, so he returned the favor naturally. Then Zhong Fugui came up and grabbed Qi Rui's hand, and said with grievance: "Political Commissar Qi, I ask you to make the decision for me!"
