The last two days of strong recommendation, please remember to collect it! And recommend it more! Thank you!

***************************************************

*************************.

Waldeck and Malkan looked at each other in confusion, the expressions on their faces suddenly became extremely rich.

"Betrayal! This is shameless betrayal!" Huadeke blushed, waved his fist and shouted at Fang Zida: "You Chinese third-rate army? It is a pipe dream to occupy Qing*dao! Boys of Greater Germany

Invincible! Our soldiers can easily crush you all to pieces!"

"Haha, this is not necessarily true. Besides, war does not require the two armies to fight. Does the Governor think that declaring war means sending troops to attack?" Fang Zida's expression did not change at all when facing the roaring Huadeke, and he slowly picked up the coffee in front of him.

Drinking and speaking lightly.

Huadeke's eyes were red and he was about to speak, but Mal Shen got ahead of him and asked with a sullen face: "How do you say this?"

"It's very simple." Fang Zida said slowly: "Your country's strong fortress and elite army in Qing* Island are beyond our reach. But don't forget that Qing* Island is our country after all. Once war is officially declared, we only need to

Just cut off all railways and roads leading to Qing*dao and prevent any supplies from flowing into Qing*dao. I think no matter how poor our military's combat effectiveness is, it will be more than enough to complete such a simple task, right? When the time comes, there will be heroes outside.

France, Russia, and even Japanese fleets and marines may launch a fierce attack on Qing*dao, and the Republic of China will blockade it. I'm afraid that no matter how elite your troops are, or how high the morale of your soldiers is, they won't be able to maintain it for long."

After hearing this, Huadeke was immediately deflated like a popped balloon. Although he was extremely angry, he had to admit that what Fang Zida said was absolutely right. Once the war broke out, Britain, France, and the Allied Russia

They will definitely take action against Qing* Island, not to mention Japan, which has been eyeing it. Although the Qing* Island fortress is strong and the Germans are brave, they have to face powerful enemies from four countries in a colony far away from the mainland.

A comprehensive material blockade of *Island will probably not be fought at all. A few months of siege will starve all the Germans to death. Waldeck is not a reckless man, let alone a brainless idiot. As the governor, of course he understands

What will be the result?

"This damn bastard!" Waldeck cursed softly in German.

Malcan smiled bitterly and said in German: "He is indeed a bastard, but Your Excellency the Governor, I have to admit that what he said is very likely to become reality."

"My God, what should I do? If I had known this, I should have asked His Majesty to send me back to the country last year, so I wouldn't have to face such a complicated problem." Hua Deke complained.

"Your Excellency, Governor, let's put this unrealistic idea aside for now. The key now is how we deal with this situation. You know, this is the main reason why I came to Qing*dao this time."

"How to deal with it? His words just now made it so clear, this bastard! Devil!"

"Yes, I agree with your view, and I think you are also a very smart bastard." Mal Shen nodded in agreement, but at the same time wondered: "I am very surprised, how can the Chinese have such clear judgment? By the way, this

Who is this shameless bastard and the devil? Did you just ask his name?"

Huadeke shook his head. Xu Shichang just introduced Fang Zida as one of his juniors. He didn't pay attention at that time. He didn't expect that in less than half an hour, he would be so embarrassed by this little person who didn't even notice him.

While Huadeke and Mal Shen were exchanging opinions softly, Fang Zida was sitting aside and sipping coffee leisurely. When he heard the two asking for his name, he put down the cup in his hand and stood up with a smile, very gentlemanly.

He gave them a slight Western salute, and then said in fluent German: "Your Excellencies, please introduce yourselves. The bastard and devil standing in front of you is called Fang Zida."

As soon as Fang Zida spoke, extreme embarrassment and surprise appeared on the faces of Waldeck and the others. None of them expected that this man could understand German and speak such a fluent Berlin accent. They were even more shocked.

What's incredible is that this man actually said he was Fang Zida. No one thought that this man who accompanied Xu Shichang and behaved very low-key at first was actually a man of the hour in the Republic of China, the president of the Central Bank of the Republic of China, and a senior cadre of KMT

, the son-in-law of President Yuan Da, temporarily took charge of Shandong, Jiangsu, including Fang Zida, who had great naval and political power in Shanghai.

If there was a crack in the ground, Waldeck would probably want to dive in. As a Junker noble, he actually made such low comments and curses in front of the other party. What made him even more embarrassed was that he thought that the other party could not understand his own words in German.

But he heard everything clearly, which was really embarrassing. For a moment, Waldeck opened his mouth wide, staring at the bull's eyes, his face turned red and black, and he didn't know how to answer. It's still a politician like Maltese.

The old youtiao had a thick skin, and after a moment of embarrassment, he immediately returned to normal. He laughed and greeted Fang Zida calmly, while saying clichés such as "Long admire".

"You two Excellencies, I think you don't need to say anything more, right? I think your country is also having a headache about Qing*dao. Since I can come here to see you, everyone is here to solve the problem and be able to properly handle what is about to happen.

For the sake of the friendship between the two countries and the common interests of both parties, why not have a good talk?" Fang Zida looked sincere, as if those threats just now were never made at all.

Xu Shichang didn't understand German, but that didn't mean that he didn't see something strange. Fang Zida suddenly said a few words in German. Huadeke and Marchen's expressions suddenly changed. I'm afraid there was some secret that Fang Zida accidentally knew on the spot. Listen.

Fang Zida said this, and he tried to smooth things over by saying: "Your Excellency the Governor, and Your Excellency the Charge d'Affaires. We are all friends. I and Zhang Ming came to your office today to solve the problem. Why don't we all be honest with each other and have a good exchange?"

How about your opinion? Discuss a result acceptable to both parties?"

Xu Shichang's words made Huadeke's face look much better. He and Mal Shen touched their eyes, seeming to have reached some agreement, and nodded slowly.

"Erhard, please help us make a few more cups of coffee. Also...please don't let anyone disturb us."

"Yes, Your Excellency." Major Erhard stood up and left very knowingly. When the door closed heavily, Waldeck nodded to Malcan. Malcan sat up straight and said to Fang Zida: "First of all, on behalf of the Governor, I

Your Excellency and myself apologize for the insulting remarks we just made."

Fang Zida smiled and nodded, accepting their apology.

Then, Malcan said: "As for the question raised by Mr. Fang, it is undeniable that this is a grim reality. You also know that our Majesty is also concerned about Qing*dao. Once the war starts, Qing*dao will never be able to

To the Allies."

"I can understand this." Fang Zida knew very well what kind of person Kaiser Wilhelm II was. He was arrogant, arrogant, and overjoyed at success. These words can be placed on His Majesty. As the monarch of the country with the most powerful military power in Europe

, once the European War broke out, he instead authorized the governors of the colonies to easily cede territory to their opponents. William II would never be able to do such a thing with his personality. Even if Qing*dao was eventually lost, he would strictly order Waldeck.

Lead the soldiers in a desperate resistance to safeguard the glory of Germany.

Similarly, as the governor-general, Waldeck himself knew very well, otherwise he would not have felt sorry for himself in German just now. It can be said that among the people present, this is the one who is most concerned about the Qing*dao issue.

Mr. Governor, right now he is almost like Wu Dalang who has taken poison. He will die if he eats, and he will die if he doesn't eat. Since the Sarajevo incident, his life has been like a year, and a lot of hair on his head has fallen out.

"For the Republic of China, we do not want an unpleasant war with Germany, but once the European War breaks out, Qingdao, as a powder keg in Asia, will inevitably cause a huge shock." Fang Zida said slowly: "

I understand your country's difficulties, but please think carefully, no matter what happens in the end, your country will eventually lose Qing* Island, and you, Governor, may become a sad prisoner of war."

Huadeke's face suddenly turned pale. Fang Zida's words hit the point where he was most worried.

Fang Zida continued: "To avoid this outcome, we must come up with a plan before the war. This is also the purpose of my coming here."

"Mr. Fang, do you have any good ideas?" Huadeke asked hurriedly before Mal Shen could.

Fang Zida smiled slightly: "If your country can cooperate with our country, I can guarantee that our country can express neutrality when the war breaks out. And your Excellency the Governor and your soldiers can also get the best settlement and return to Germany safely."

"Oh... Mr. Fang, can you tell me the specific arrangements?" Mal Shen asked with interest, his eyebrows twitching.

"It's very simple. Your country will return Qing* Island immediately. As long as you return Qing* Island to our country before the war breaks out, this will not give any country an excuse to send troops to Qing* Island. Moreover, as a neutral country, it has the right and the right

Obligation to ensure the personal safety of your country’s diplomats and expatriates.”
