The Military Commission also carefully discussed and studied these three weapons to the Germans. The French 1897 75mm field gun is a spoil and is a gift for the Buddha through flowers. Of course, it is no problem. Although mortars and light machine guns are considered advanced weapons in this era, they are not weapons that can fundamentally change the war mode of this era.

In the history of old time and space, about 10 years later, both weapons appeared and were widely used in the subsequent World War I. Therefore, the time traveler only made the appearance of these two weapons slightly earlier, but it would not have a major change to the military weapons of this era. But at this time, it was still attractive enough to Germany. Judging from the reactions of the Germans today, the purpose of the time traveler was obviously achieved.

Originally, during the discussion of the Military Commission, some people suggested that tanks could be shown to the Germans. Anyway, the technology of this era could not be made. However, Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng, Xiao Jianjun and others considered that tanks are strategic weapons in this era and would completely change the six-war model of this era. Although the current technical level does not make tanks, if countries realize the powerful war power of tanks, countries will inevitably increase the research and development of tanks, which is likely to completely change the development of military weapons. After all, the diesel motive for tank construction equipment, the diesel motive for tanks has been manufactured. If the research efforts are increased, it is not too difficult to produce diesel motives suitable for tanks. In fact, the army has not yet officially used tanks on the battlefield until now, because they are worried that it will bring enlightenment to other countries in this era.

Of course, the time traveler will not really hand over the mortar and machine gun technology they assembled to the Germans. Although the technical level of these two types of weapons is not high, it is not something that the technical level of this era can be manufactured. If the two sides really reach cooperation, the time traveler intends to give Germany similar weapons from around the 20-30 era, and with the technical level of this era, it is completely possible to produce two weapons.

After returning to the hotel from the barracks, Wadesi immediately wrote a report, focusing on detailed description of the performance characteristics of the two types of weapons that overseas Chinese showed him, as well as their important role on the German 6th Army, and then returned to Germany overnight.

The next day, Qin Zheng fulfilled his promise and arranged for the Germans to visit the Kunming ship.

Tirpitz was of course very excited. He finally could take a look at the overseas Chinese warships. As a result, after Tirpitz boarded the Kunming ship, like the observation group, although he could see that the ship had an excellent ship type, he was also very puzzled by the weapons that were too few on the warships. Because the displacement of the Kunming ship was larger than that of the Yueyang ships and the Sanya ships, and the technology level was more advanced. Therefore, there were more vertical firing units than the Yueyang ships and Sanya ships, with a total of 64 fire units, and the anti-ship missiles were integrated into the vertical firing unit. In this way, there were even fewer suspected weapons on the ship, and there were almost no other weapons except a 13o mm caliber main gun on the ship.

Not only Tirpitz, but other Germans who were on board the ship were also inexplicably strange. Wadesi even asked, was this warship or an armed merchant ship? Tirpitz wondered whether this warship was the main warship of overseas Chinese. But after asking several captains, the answer was that this warship did participate in the Bohai Sea Battle, because several captains had seen this warship on the battlefield. After all, this shape has distinct characteristics, and the guns fired very fast and hit a very high hit rate, which also left a very deep impression on the captains. It was impossible to admit their mistakes.

So Tirpitz asked Qin Zheng and the answer he got was: Military secrets cannot be told. Tirpitz did not ask any further. After all, military secrets are very sensitive in any country, and the relationship between Germany and overseas Chinese is not yet at the point where they can share their mutual military secrets. Of course, it is not ruled out that overseas Chinese are making a fool of themselves.

After a roundabout way on the Kunming ship, Tirpitz felt that he had nothing to find, so he had to get off the ship with the others and go back to the hotel to rest.

On the afternoon of the same day, Heinrich received a telegram from the German cabinet, instructing Heinrich to sign a cooperation agreement with overseas Chinese in accordance with the draft treaty. In addition, he had to continue negotiating with overseas Chinese and must obtain technical information on the three weapons displayed by overseas Chinese. It is best to obtain samples, only look at what price codes the overseas Chinese offer.

It turned out that after returning to Germany with the draft and Heinrich's suggestion, William II did not dare to neglect it, and immediately recruited German cabinet ministers and staff to discuss it. Overall, the ministers all believed that cooperation with overseas Chinese was indeed very important to Germany, but the conditions proposed by overseas Chinese required that Germany must clearly announce its withdrawal from the Eight-Nation Alliance, which also made Germany very embarrassed, because Germany's diplomatic situation in Europe is not very good now, and the Three Emperors Alliance, which Bismarck worked hard to manage, had completely disintegrated.

Although Germany, Austria and Italy formed allies, they were not stable. Germany and Austria worked together, but Italy was still swaying. This was mainly because Italy joined the Three Kingdoms Alliance, which conflicted with France's colonial interests in Tunisia and brought help to France, but Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire were not in the same way because the Austro-Hungarian Empire prevented Italy from unification. At the same time, there were conflicts with Italy's ownership of the Libyan colony. In the final analysis, Italy did not want to have too deep conflicts with France, but just wanted to use the allies to force France to make concessions. Therefore, if Germany announced its withdrawal from the Eight-Nation Alliance, it would undoubtedly make Germany's diplomatic situation in Europe more difficult.

Although it is possible to join forces with other countries to withdraw, it is still led by Germany, which will still have a certain impact on Germany's diplomacy. Therefore, Prime Minister Bernhard von Bielou (prinnetbü1o) suggested to William II that the draft should not be easily accepted, and it is best to talk to overseas Chinese again. Although overseas Chinese are very firm in their attitude, Bielou believes that the pretending attitude is relatively large. After all, overseas Chinese are about to negotiate with various countries and need German support. If Germany shows a tough attitude, then it is still very likely to force overseas Chinese to make concessions.

But the next day, after Wadesi's report returned to Germany, it was once again shocked in Germany, and his German staff was the German General Staff. Although William II was determined to build a powerful navy and compete with Britain around the world, the German military is still dominated by the 6th Army. Almost all the members of the German General Staff were from the 6th Army. Although Tirpitz was deeply trusted by William II, he had almost no status in the German General Staff.

Wadesi's report mentioned the 6th Army weapons displayed by overseas Chinese, and the French 1897 75mm field guns, which had long attracted the attention of the German General Staff, and Wadesi also described the other two weapons in detail. Although there was no picture, the people in the General Staff were all long-standing generals, so they naturally understood the performance characteristics of these two weapons and Wadesi's intentions.

Wadesi's successor, Alfred von Schriefen, who is currently the chief of staff of the German General Staff, suggested to William II that he must do his best to obtain technical information on these three weapons, and it is best to obtain samples, because these three weapons were of great help to the German 6th Army.

It turned out that Schriefen was formulating a combat plan at this time, and the goal of the war was to deal with the attacks between Russia and France from both the east and west in the future war.

After the alliance between France and Russia, Germany has been trying to use diplomatic means to differentiate France and Russia, pull Russia back to its own side, and re-form the Three Emperors Alliance. In fact, there is no major contradiction between Germany and Russia. The main contradiction is between Russia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, because both countries regard the Balkans as their core interests. This contradiction is almost irreconcilable and is also the biggest obstacle to re-forming the Three Emperors Alliance. Therefore, Germany can only choose one between Austro-Hungarian and Russia, and Germany can only choose the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which is closer to its geographical location and itself.

Of course, Germany would not completely pin its hopes on diplomatic means. Military means are still an important option. Therefore, how to win the East-West Wars at the same time has always been an important topic of research by the German General Staff. During his tenure as Chief of Staff, Wadesi proposed a strategic plan to "stand on the Western Front and concentrate on the Eastern Front to attack Russia", but was rejected by the then Prime Minister Bismarck.

After Schriefen became the Chief of Staff of Germany, after carefully studying the power comparison between Germany, France and Russia, he developed a bold idea: to use the advantages of German troops to mobilize quickly, first concentrate its efforts to defeat France, and then turn back to fight against Russia. This is the famous "Schriefen Plan" in the old time and space. In 1891, the first year when Schriefen became the chief of staff of the German army, he proposed a memorandum of this idea, and in 1892 and 1894, the second and third memorandums, these three memorandums are the basic prototype of the "Schriefen Plan". After that, Schriefen's main work was to deduce and modify the plans of the memorandum and further improve the plan.

In short, its implementation of the Riefen plan was to take advantage of Germany's advantages in internal lines and railway transportation, concentrate its superior forces and France, and Russia fought a time difference to defeat them one by one.

According to Schriefen's idea, at the beginning of the war, Germany used a small amount of troops to restrain the Russian army on the eastern front, and concentrated all the main forces of the German army on the western front to fight against France; and the main forces of the German army on the western front were divided into left and right wings, and the left wing was arranged on the French-German border with a small amount of troops to attract and restrain the French army. The right wing on the western front, that is, the main force of the German army, went through Belgium, crossed the Belgian plain, entered France from the border of Bihai-France, and then swept across the French coast. After sweeping across the French coast, it surrounded Paris from the north, west and south. After conquering Paris, it surrounded its main forces from behind the French army. In an attempt to completely defeat France in a short time, or force France to surrender, and then mobilize troops to advance eastward to deal with the Russian army on the eastern front.
