Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

"Your Majesty, please calm down first. We still need to consider this matter carefully," Hindenburg said slowly while looking at William II.

"Consider carefully? Consider what? Consider giving up the Rhineland to those vampires?" William II was extremely angry.

Hindenburg could only shake his head when he heard William II's words, and then said: "Your Majesty, to be honest, we have no way to refuse this matter."

"According to the intelligence we have now, those people are already preparing for armed independence."

"Once we formally refuse, then they will definitely start a rebellion."

"Based on the capabilities of that group of people, as long as they officially start the rebellion, then the whole of Europe will stand against the empire. At that time, we will face the opposition of the entire Europe."

"It's like Napoleon back then."

"It's not even as good as Napoleon. At least when Napoleon faced the whole of Europe, the Gallic Empire was still relatively stable."

"But we can't be stable internally. Those people have already penetrated into every aspect of the empire. Once they start operating, we won't even be able to produce a single bullet."

"If this happens, the consequences..."

Hindenburg did not finish what he said, but William II already understood what Hindenburg wanted to say.

He punched the coffee table next to him hard.

"Damn it, can we just watch the Rhineland being taken away by them?"

Hindenburg nodded after hearing William II's words: "At present, only agreeing to their independence will do the least harm to us."

"If we support their independent establishment, the empire will still have a great say in the Rhineland. The empire can also use the factories in the Rhineland to make them favor us,"

"But if they don't support it, then it is very likely that they will fall to the Gallic Empire."

"But if we operate properly, this may become our advantage." Hindenburg said slowly.

"Advantage? What do you mean?" William II frowned, somewhat unclear.

"Your Majesty, the territory these people are demanding includes the Rhineland of the Empire and Strasbourg of the Gallic Empire. These areas happen to include some dangerous areas."

"In addition, their terms indicate that their newly formed country will be a neutral country without armed forces."

"If a war breaks out, then this new country will be undefended, and the imperial army will be able to march straight in."

"Even with high speed, you can directly cross the Strasbourg area and cross here. Then the eastern part of the Gallic Empire will be undefended." Hindenburg lowered his voice and said.

William II was not a fool. When he heard Hindenburg say this, he immediately understood what Hindenburg meant.

Just imagine, if this so-called new country is successfully established, then according to their requirements, the territory of this new country will include the Rhineland region of the Hans Empire and the Strasbourg region of Gaul.

Especially the Strasbourg area, which was the main part of the Maginot Line during World War II.

Beyond this point, eastern Gaul was undefeated.

At that time, the Hans' troops can quickly pass through the new country and directly penetrate into the Gallic Empire. Before all the Gallic troops could react, Paris was there after all.

Once Paris falls, it will become extremely difficult for the entire Europe to form an alliance to resist the Hans Empire.

Of course, if you want to achieve this goal, you first need to determine two things.

First, all conglomerate forces in the Hans Empire were expelled, turning the Hans Empire into a monolith.

Second, the Hans Empire must regain its strength, at least to the strength it had before the start of the First World War.

Otherwise, the Hans Empire would not be able to face the entire Europe alone.

After thinking about this key point, William II also calmed down, then lowered his voice, and then asked Hindenburg: "Marshal, how feasible do you think this matter is?"

"As long as we don't object, then the establishment of a new country is 100% successful. We only need to put forward our demands before the establishment of a new country, requiring that they must be under our supervision and not allowed to form an army."

"As long as these two items are met, the empire can admit the matter on the surface and then secretly gather strength. After more than ten years, we will have enough strength to deal with all threats." Hindenburg carefully answered William II World.

Wilhelm II nodded when he heard Hindenburg's words, but did not speak.

After a long time, William II slowly said to Hindenburg: "The Empire will wait and see about this matter to see the reaction of Gaul."

"Okay." Hindenburg nodded heavily after hearing William II's words.

Paris, Lin Yi's temporary residence.

Fang Zhong pushed open Lin Yi's door and glanced at Lin Yi.

"What's the matter?" Lin Yi glanced at Fang Zhong and put down the newspaper in his hand.

"Your Majesty, there is someone outside asking to see you." Fang Zhong said to Lin Yi.

"Does anyone want to see me?" Lin Yi glanced at the clock and found that it was already past 9 p.m.

In this era when there are not many entertainment activities, after 9 pm is already a very late time.

"You want to see me at this point, has he said who he is?" Lin Yi looked at Fang Zhong and asked.

"Your Majesty, the other party didn't get out of the car. It was his butler who came forward. The other party just said that they were the prince's old friends." Fang Zhong shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

After all, they are not in Daxia now, so they are still a little behind in intelligence collection.

Lin Yi heard Fang Zhong's words and knew that the other party wanted to hide his identity.

But the other party is so anxious to see him, and he chooses this time period, which means that the other party's identity is quite special.

And because of his special status, he was able to find him at this time. After combining it with the news he had just read in the newspaper, a smile immediately appeared on Lin Yi's face.

"It seems that the fish has bitten the hook." Lin Yi smiled faintly, and then said to Fang Zhong: "Go and invite the person in, and be careful to protect the other person's identity information."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Fang Zhong nodded heavily after hearing Lin Yi's words.

Watching Fang Zhong leave, Lin Yi turned his gaze to the newspaper in his hand.

The front page headline of this Paris daily newspaper was an article titled "Thousands of years of wandering will finally end, and a great nation is about to be founded."

"I really didn't expect that the president of the Gallic Empire would choose this time to see me."

"It seems that the pressure from those consortiums on him is too great."

As he said that, a smile appeared on Lin Yi's face, with a hint of ridicule and teasing in that smile.
