The so-called literati and artists are undoubtedly the most self-righteous group of people in the world. They think that art has no borders. War cannot destroy those historical sites and works of art.

Actually, no one cares about the opinions of the real power holders. What they think, first of all, is to ensure that they can win this war, which is undoubtedly the most important thing. As for the rest, it doesn't matter at all.

However, with the promotion of Britain and France, and the promotion of the United States, the whole world is paying attention to the **** of the German army in Paris. That's right, some artists have regarded the German army's attack on Paris as a barbarian, or even an act of wild beasts. All major newspapers around the world are accusing Qin Tian and the German army who attacked Paris. Countless artists jumped out and condemned Qin Tian's behavior of destroying civilization.

Even in Germany, there was a great shock. Hundreds of German artists jointly signed a letter to Kaiser Wilhelm II, requesting that the German army stop the attack on Paris. Some even demanded that Qin Tian be severely punished, and it would be best to remove Qin Tian from the position of Crown Prince.

"Your Majesty, this is the third protest letter I have received. The artists are very dissatisfied with the behavior of His Royal Highness and the army in Paris. Shall we appease them?" At the imperial meeting, Prime Minister Bernha Te von Blow said. In the past two days, he was completely overwhelmed by these protests.

"Pacify them? Why do you want to appease them? His Highness is leading our army to fight **** battles with the enemy on the front line. These guys, who are enjoying themselves in the back, are now jumping out to criticize His Highness and the army. It is simply too much. Have they forgotten their identities?" Falkenhain, the Minister of War and Chief of the General Staff, said dissatisfiedly.

Seeing that the Imperial Army is about to capture Paris and defeat France, it has made great achievements. Those guys jumped out, isn't this deliberately looking for trouble? What's more, artists from other countries are making noise, and they are also making noise. Have they forgotten that they are Germans?

"Yes, Your Majesty. For the current empire, it is undoubtedly the most important thing to find a way to win the current war. For the empire, Paris is an important city that has to be captured. After defeating Paris, the French I am afraid that the will to fight will be disintegrated. Even if they still want to continue fighting. However, their will to resist should not be too firm. What's more, if the French lose hundreds of thousands of troops in Paris, they will There is simply not much strength to continue the fight. Therefore, not only can we not stop the attack on Paris, but we must support His Royal Highness and their actions." Marshal Earl Tirpitz, Minister of the Navy, also said.

Obviously, the attitude of the Imperial Army soldiers is clear. In times of war, defeating the enemy country is the most important thing. As for other culture and arts, they all have to stand aside.

King William II nodded, of course he knew the importance clearly. In his opinion, the behavior of those artists is completely out of nothing. It was Paris that was ruined and had nothing to do with them. The French and the British were quarreling, and that was justifiable. But if they make a fuss, it's too inappropriate. This is because they don't regard themselves as Germans at all!

"Gentlemen, of course, Paris is a very beautiful city, a city of culture. However, for the empire to win this war, even if Paris is destroyed, it is not at all. Our troops in Paris What you did was completely justified and should be done. All of this is a conspiracy of the British and the French." William II expressed his attitude.

Obviously, William II hopes to win this war more than Paris, a famous cultural city. As for Paris, if it is ruined, it is ruined, and it is no big deal at all.

"Your Majesty is wise." Marshal Earl Tirpitz and Marshal von Falkenhain said immediately.

"Your Majesty, how are we going to deal with those artists? If we let them go on like this, I'm afraid it's not a solution! They publish articles in newspapers every day, criticizing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the imperial government. This will damage the reputation of the Crown Prince and the imperial government." , will undoubtedly have a very adverse impact." Prime Minister Bernhard von Blow said.

William II couldn't help but frowned. If Qin Tian's reputation is damaged, it will have a very negative impact on his succession to the German emperor in the future.

"We have to find a way to stop these guys!" William II said.

"Do you have any ideas?" William II asked.

"Your Majesty, we may be able to divide and attack a group of people. I believe that among those artists, a large number of them are artists with real integrity. However, there are definitely some people who were bought by the French or the British. We can Attack them, and then expose them to the entire nation. In this way, those artists will naturally have no face to continue making trouble." Marshal von Falkenhain suggested.

King William II nodded: "This is a good idea. The Ministry of War will be responsible for this matter."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Marshal von Falkenhain nodded.

Marshal von Falkenhain knew that it was too easy to deal with those artists. Don't look at how violent they are, but in front of the state apparatus, especially in front of violent institutions like the army, they are simply vulnerable. He has too many ways to deal with them. Even if they are not bought by the French and the British, as long as they are planted. In front of the state apparatus, they have no chance to justify themselves.

"Your Majesty, what about international public opinion? In addition to the two hostile countries, Britain and France, other neutral countries such as the United States also have a lot of remarks that are not conducive to the empire." Foreign Minister von Kidren Wachter said.

"It goes without saying that Britain and France, all of this is their conspiracy. As for other countries, if they want to make trouble, let them go. This will not have any impact on the strength of the German Empire. Once The empire won this world war and became the hegemon of the world, if they still dare to do this, don't blame the empire for being rude." William II said domineeringly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Von Kidren Wacht said.

Indeed, if Germany wins the final victory of the war and becomes the world hegemon, can other countries still target Germany in this way? Even if they themselves, I'm afraid they don't want to anger Germany because of this.
