"The Ming Dynasty demolished the churches in our capital and expelled our missionaries.

Even our diplomatic ambassador was expelled to Singapore.

The people of the Ming Dynasty also said that even diplomats were not allowed to set foot in the South China Sea without the permission of the Ming Dynasty. Violators would be shot!

"

"This is an insult to Germany!"

"Ming Dynasty has long betrayed their promise."

"The people of Ming Dynasty cannot be trusted, they are profit animals."

"Kill the Ming people."

The senior officials were clamoring one after another, and the huge conference room immediately became noisier than a vegetable market.

Herman glanced at Asch's face, clapped his hands, and silenced the senior officials' clamor.

"You are right, the people of Ming Dynasty are profit animals. They focus on practical benefits but not trustworthiness, and their promises to us are like farts.

They forced us to use gold to buy disabled British soldiers and British scraps and scraps.

The most intolerable thing is that these people spurn God.

The people of Ming Dynasty are drawing our blood, and they fucking despise our blood.

Elites of the empire, can you tolerate the Ming people?"

"cannot!"

"Beat the Ming people to death."

"Kill the Ming Empire!"

"Fight to the capital."

The senior officials raised their arms and shouted wildly, saying harsh words.

These people are the elites of Germany, and of course they know that the reconstruction of Europe cannot be separated from the support of Ming Dynasty!

Three years of European war have devastated European countries. Many cities were destroyed by the war, leaving only piles of rubble.

Now Europe not only needs Ming Dynasty's capital, but also Ming Dynasty's technology and advanced management methods.

Among other things, Germany currently manages a population of more than 200 million people. How to feed these 200 million people is a big problem.

Within three years, all countries were recruiting troops aggressively.

Countries like the Austro-Hungarian Empire have conscripted the entire country's adult men between the ages of fourteen and sixty-four to fight on the battlefield.

All that was left were women and children working in the fields.

Only women and children are working, so the grain output can only be "ha" or "ha".

Now, all of Europe is struggling under the haze of famine.

It happened that at this time, Ming Dynasty began to release prisoners of war one after another. This was not releasing prisoners of war, but releasing those who were eating rations.

The worst thing is that many of the prisoners of war released are disabled.

Even if it's just a little bit, I've lost a few fingers or half of my foot.

The people of Ming Dynasty are really treacherous. These people have missing limbs and lose the ability to work.

Because he was fighting for the country and became like this, not only cannot he be abandoned, but he must be supported by the government.

This makes the already stretched finances even more difficult.

What is most dangerous to Europeans is that Ming Dynasty is frantically dumping all kinds of goods into Europe.

Ready-made clothes, daily necessities, these are nothing, after all, they are small commodities. But even durable goods such as furniture are trafficked thousands of miles to Europe.

What's even more unbearable is that all these things are cheaper than those made in Europe.

Now the whole of Europe, whether poor or wealthy, is flooded with Ming products.

People on the street wore ready-made clothes produced in the Ming Dynasty, and the shops sold Ming Dynasty products. Even the restaurants used cheap tableware and furniture from the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention the tea, silk, and porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, which are the signature products exported by the Ming Dynasty.

Under the impact of Ming Dynasty goods, factories in various European countries are rapidly collapsing.

This trend has not even escaped wineries.

In the past three months, Daming has acquired Hamburg Brewery and Munich Brewery.

From now on, even the beer that Germans like to drink will be produced in German territory by the Ming Dynasty.

The large human trafficking racket uncovered last month has made the whole of Germany even more angry.

The human traffickers of the Ming Dynasty actually sold German girls to the Middle East and Ottoman brothels to make money.

Human traffickers in the Ming Dynasty actually said that people in the Ming Dynasty did not like the body odor of Europeans. Therefore, there was no market for these girls in the Ming Dynasty.

This is what Axi said, they are sucking our blood and they despise our blood.

After the incident was reported, public opinion was in an uproar, and everyone gathered in front of the Ming Dynasty Embassy to protest and march.

Reporters from various newspapers also went to the Ming Dynasty Embassy to interview them, hoping that Ming Dynasty would punish these human traffickers.

Unexpectedly, Ming Dynasty diplomats actually said that the incident occurred in the Ottoman Empire and Egypt.

The people of Ming Dynasty have no jurisdiction at all. Even if they attack, it is not the turn of people of Ming Dynasty to do it.

This dumping of the blame makes people angry. Who doesn't know that the Ottoman Sultan just lay down at the feet of the Ming Dynasty Marshal and imitated the barking of a dog?

As for Egypt, the Sultan of Egypt shivered in the dilapidated palace all day long, for fear of making the Ming Dynasty angry and dying.

Now, the people of Ming Dynasty actually used jurisdiction as an excuse.

All Ming people enjoy judicial immunity in European countries and these countries.

This article is a formal clause written into the peace treaty between Ming Dynasty and European countries.

Once the interview was published in the newspaper, it was like pouring a ladle of boiling water into a hot oil pan.

Public opinion in the German Empire exploded, and many angry young people rushed to the streets to protest and demonstrate.

Some people rushed directly to the door of the Ming Dynasty Embassy and greeted them with rotten eggs and stones.

Not to be outdone, the Ming Embassy used high-pressure water cannons to shoot at these unarmed young people.

It's already a bit cold in Germany in October, and it's really uncomfortable to feel like you've been soaked in cold water.

The matter was aroused for a while. If the news of British surrender had not dampened the incident, the German officials really didn't know how it would end.

"Invincibility starts with sacrificing the ancestor"

Axi looked at the enthusiastic confidants and nodded with satisfaction.

Although everyone knew in their hearts that Germany and even the whole of Europe could not defeat the Ming Dynasty.

But now it doesn't matter whether we have fought or not. What matters is our stance and attitude. They are all human beings, and no one can figure out the intentions of the head of state.

After finding out the details of his confidants, Axi also knew that he had to deal with it. The conflict with Daming was inevitable, but the time was definitely not now.

After going through the Battle of France and the Battle of England, the German army had suffered heavy casualties.

Not only were the human losses severe, but the troops' equipment reserves and ammunition were also severely damaged.

None of this can be made up for in the short term.

"Goppel, Hermann, Holt, and Ribbentrop are staying here. Let the rest go out and prepare for today's dinner."

Axi left behind a few core confidants, ready to discuss the next move.

"Führer, we can't fall out with Ming now. If we insist on falling out, we have no chance of winning." Goppel looked at Axi's expression and said carefully.

"We have no chance of winning militarily. The Ming Dynasty's navy controls the ocean. Our navy is not enough to give people a hard time, let alone fight against it.

As for the army, our army has just concluded the Battle of England. It lost more than 400,000 soldiers!

It will be difficult for us to recover in a short period of time." Moltke was the chief of general staff, and he knew the battlefield better.

"We don't have a plane yet! That thing can determine the outcome of the war!

Moreover, the recovery and construction of the empire were inseparable from Ming Dynasty's funds and technology.

More importantly, we need to cultivate a group of talents who can compete with the talents of Daming Technology.

As far as universities are concerned, there is no way the University of Berlin can compare with the universities of the Ming Dynasty." Hermann spread his hands helplessly.

"I know, gentlemen. It is not feasible to fall out with the Ming Dynasty at this time, both economically and militarily.

But we must be prepared to fall out. Only if we are prepared, we will not be in a hurry when we really fall out in the future." Axi sat on the chair and explained to his subordinates.

This is important. If you behave aggressively, they will behave even more aggressively.

Once things get out of hand, it will be even more difficult.

“What we have to worry about now is not that we fall out with Ming Dynasty, but that Ming Dynasty falls out with us.

The issue of falling out is a two-way street. Now I'm worried that Daming is looking for excuses to fall out with us.
