The establishment of diplomatic relations between the old European empires led by Britain and France and the new China has greatly stimulated Germany.The German top brass was very depressed, and originally they wanted to watch Britain, France, and China fight each other, at least to fight a war in Asia, which was in their best interests with Germany.However, they did not expect that Britain and France lowered their arrogant heads, and New China did not accept it in principle.This incident unconsciously made the German top level take a high look at the pragmatism of New China, and when considering the problem, they also began to put the factors of New China in the plan.The reason why they have not attacked Poland for a long time is that Poland has an extraordinary relationship with New China.Now that the influence of the new China is increasing, they have to think more carefully about their relationship with Poland.The German Emperor Wilhelm I did not have much time, and after the beginning of spring, he became ill and was succeeded by his son Frederick Wilhelm, known as Frederick III.It just so happened that the North Sea Fleet was still in Europe, and Firefox also sent the news to them right away.Deng Shichang returned with the North Sea Fleet, but had not yet returned to China, and when he first arrived in India, news came that Frederick III had died.At present, the new Chinese embassy in the Ottoman Turkish Empire has Firefox in charge of intelligence gathering.Because of the distance, the telegram could not be forwarded, so it could only be delivered to India by merchant ship.The Huaxing Army's base in India is now equipped with radio transmitters, which can be transmitted through Thailand, Yunnan, and other identities at the first level.When Deng Shichang made supplies in India and returned to New China to report to Qiao Zhiqing, Qiao Zhiqing already knew the news of the Kaiser's death.Qiao Zhiqing was in his time and space, William I and his unlucky son died this year, Qiao Zhiqing remembered it very clearly.Unexpectedly, his arrival did not change the fate of these two fathers and sons.Now that Frederick III is gone and succeeded by his son Wilhelm II, Germany has finally begun to expand militarism.At this turning point in history, Qiao Zhiqing remembers very well that after the death of Wilhelm I, it directly led to the resignation of Bismarck, the iron-blooded prime minister.The old prime minister has been trying to control and prevent militarism.He was a clear-headed man who knew that Germany was not strong enough to shake the whole of Europe.But when the new emperor Wilhelm II ascended the throne, the young people always had a momentum and did not listen to his dissuasion at all.The contradiction between the two is getting bigger and bigger, and Wilhelm II wants to establish his own power, so he is naturally the first to take Bismarck.Bismarck was already an old man in his seventies at this time, and under exhaustion, he finally chose to step down from the position of prime minister.1888 was not destined to be a quiet year, and although it may seem peaceful, the powder keg of World War I was already brewing at this time.After Deng Shichang returned to China, Qiao Zhiqing immediately asked him to inform the Ministry of Defense of the reconnaissance of the European delegation, and the Ministry of Defense now began to prepare a strategic plan for an expedition to Europe.After the old people of the Ministry of Defense abdicated one after another in recent years, a large number of young people came up, and they wanted to do a big job very early.As soon as Qiao Zhiqing gave the order, the top level of the entire Ministry of National Defense immediately took action and began to collect and sort out a large number of relevant materials.Qiao Zhiqing finally entered his fifties this year, and he was over half a hundred years old before he knew it.The new era brought him both familiar and urgent, and he was always afraid that he would be like William I, and he would close his eyes before he had done anything.Elections for the lower house of representatives have been completed in the country, and the first parliamentary session of the first members of parliament has been held at the beginning of the year.Now the Huaxing Party stands out in parliament and has become the largest party in parliament.Among these parliamentarians, Qiao Zhiqing also saw many familiar names.Some of them are still very young, and they are already well-known everywhere.There are his little fellow countrymen, Yang Shenxiu, a Wenxi person in Shanxi, Yang Rui and Yang Cong, two brothers in Sichuan, and Tan Sitong in Hunan.The great era has finally come, and New China has ushered in a great era of talents bursting out at this time.Qiao Zhiqing asked his subordinates to observe the growth of these heroes very early, his arrival changed a lot of things, and he was still very unsure whether these heroes would develop according to the predetermined trajectory.By now, he had believed in fate.A hero is a masterpiece, no matter how the times change, he will make a difference.Among these people, there is one person Qiao Zhiqing who doesn't like very much, and that is Kang Youwei, a member of the Guangdong Provincial Election.This person was a "foolish person" in his time, who occupied all the false emptiness, and relied on one mouth to eat, without a little practical spirit.Qiao Zhiqing specially talked to Wei Ziyou about this person and reminded her in advance.If such a person is placed in a position of real power, he will definitely cause trouble.As the leader of the Huaxing Party, Wei Ziyou has now been elected as the new prime minister and is preparing to form a cabinet to govern.Before the parliamentary election, Qiao Zhiqing had already made all the arrangements, and no major changes had occurred.At the beginning of the democratic elections, although most of the legislators read through the governing plans of China and foreign countries, there was no political party with influence throughout the country.The Huaxing Party is now the largest party in the name of the word, and most of the members of parliament are still independents.With the completion of the first election, most of the legislators are familiar with the process, and now they finally have the concept of governing in their heads, and they are all preparing for the next election.The Huaxing Party currently represents the interests of the big bourgeoisie and the aristocracy, which is also something that Qiao Zhiqing cannot change.From the beginning of its establishment, the party members in it were all children of families, or young people with progressive ideas, and now they have long grown into a new aristocratic class.Wei Ziyou, as the imperial concubine and the daughter of the prime minister, no matter how she governs, she will not represent the interests of the lower classes.Qiao Zhiqing is not entangled in this matter, and with the progress of democratic elections, more political parties will emerge in the future.The Huaxing army can hold the position, that is their ability, and it doesn't matter if they can't hold it, anyway, Qiao Zhiqing doesn't belong to any class now.No matter how they choose, Qiao Zhiqing is still his emperor, and he will always be the supreme existence in terms of status.After Wei Ziyou changed jobs, Tian Runye took over as the director of the National Security Bureau.There have been a lot of changes at the top of the National Security Bureau, and after Wei Ziyou retired, the second-in-command Lin Meizhu also retreated.Her husband, Wang Shijie, has now officially assumed the post of defense minister.In this position, whether it is identity or otherwise, she is no longer suitable.Tian Runye was originally a teacher in the first primary school in her early years, Wei Ziyou knew Qiao Zhiqing's old habits, and also knew that she would definitely leave Qiao Zhiqing in the future, so she transferred Tian Runye to work in the Ministry of State Security ten years ago.Now the work and powers of the Ministry of State Security are much smaller than before.With the end of the war, there was also the successive improvement of the functions of various departments.The Ministry of State Security is now focusing on intelligence collection, providing intelligence reference for various departments, and another point is that it exists as Qiao Zhiqing's confidential secretariat.Tian Runye is over thirty years old this year, from a naïve little girl who was rescued in Tianjiawan to a mature woman now, Qiao Zhiqing will feel the ruthlessness of time every time he sees her
