The Rise of the Empire

"I have to say that your country is very sad, that is, the three main fleets are completely divided. It is impossible for the Black Sea Fleet to sail out of the Black Sea, so the only fleets that your country can mobilize are the Baltic Fleet and the Far East Fleet. Well, let's Now I can talk about what kind of warships are available in case of conflict between your country and Japan. Let me first say, if there are any inconsistencies, I hope you can add to me, can you? Marcano Mr. Husband? I am a person who likes to show, especially when I overwhelm opponents in IQ, I am always happy to answer their questions." Ruprecht said with a smile.

"The Black Sea Fleet is excluded, too old warships and too small warships are excluded, which warships can be used in your country? We use warships in service after 1890 as the standard, and warships over 8,000 tons are the bottom line that can be mobilized.

"Looking at the timeline, there are two Alexander II-class battleships in service in 1891. Although they meet our requirements in terms of time and tonnage, I think everyone knows the performance. Two 12-inch L30 guns, four The 9-inch L35 artillery has no turret structure, and the rate of fire is extremely slow. The armor belt is still an ancient steel-faced armor, which may not be able to block heavy artillery fire, and the coverage area is very small. It can be burned to death by a rapid-fire gun! It is even more difficult What is endured is that the speed is only 15.3 knots! This is the data when it was first built, can it run at 14 knots now? Whether these two warships can be counted, everyone should understand it better?"

"The Navarin, which just entered service this year, is also a wonderful thing. It was launched in 1889 and was only commissioned this year! It still uses steel armor, and its firepower seems to have improved. There are four 12-inch L35 main guns and eight 6-inch guns. Visual inspection It can't beat the Japanese second-class battleships, and it can't beat the Russian-class 10,000-ton armored cruiser. What's more, the speed still doesn't exceed 16 knots, and it can't beat or run... Let's count it as one."

"The great Siysos battleship, this battleship is not great. It is almost the same level as the Navarin, but it doesn't matter, let's count it for the time being. Now Russia has two battleships that are barely passable. Transferred to the Far East."

"There are only two battleships. Of course, if your country allows the Alexander II to reach the Far East, then there will be four ships, but I think everyone knows the combat effectiveness. Fortunately, your country still has I ordered 2 Munich-class armored cruisers from my shipyard. 2 to 4 battleships plus three cruisers, I personally think that this combat power can barely beat a dozen."

"But in the end, I am still not optimistic about you. The reason is very simple. The firepower of one Russian ship is similar to that of two Munich ships. The remaining Japanese still have 3 10,000-ton warships, and they will attack your country's 4 10,000-ton warships. Then The Japanese still have a huge advantage in dome cruisers. In this naval battle, tell me who will win?"

"If you consider the port situation, then the Japanese have even greater advantages. How many ports do they have? Repairs, supplies, and port defense facilities are all excellent. What about your country? Is there any other place besides Vladivostok? Of course , if the Japanese choose to go to war in winter, your country’s navy can be preserved, and the frozen sea of ​​Vladivostok prevents the Japanese from attacking, and at the same time makes your country have no power in the Far East sea!”

"Well then, to sum up, I think that if Japan launched an attack in 1898, you have no chance of winning, and you can't win even if God is on your side! Do you have any opinions? Who has anything to say? You can add Take a moment." His Royal Highness finished speaking and sat back.

What the prince said is very clear,

Maozi, you are too useless to do things. As soon as he overshadowed his opponent, he abolished his martial arts. How about rich? If you have money, can you immediately get a warship? The construction period of this thing is a rigid indicator. Do you know what rigidity is? That is an objective law and cannot be changed! It doesn't even work if you have money. To say that Japan is also great! Grab this gap directly and kill you while you are sick. It directly reversed the disadvantages of the Far East Sea. If Japan really moves you, what will you do in Russia? Russia and North Korea hardly border each other, and the Far East Railway has not yet been built. The army in the Far East has nothing to play with, and now the navy is also at a disadvantage. Aren't you playing to your death?

"You can make a price. Let's buy it back!" Robanov finally came back to his senses and said with a pale face. After Ruprecht finished speaking, Makanov didn't even fart, which means that the actual situation is really the same as what the prince said. If there is a fight, the Russians will definitely have no chance. Otherwise, Russia will give up North Korea and choose for itself. Of course, no matter what you choose, you are dead.

"The relationship between Russia and Germany has always been very friendly. I am responsible for the rift in the relationship between the two countries caused by the previous changes. I am also very sorry for the losses caused to your country, but these can be made up. We are at least in Qing Dynasty. We were allies during the Japanese War. And you fought against the Japanese fleet. The price is 850,000 pounds. Let's buy it back, okay?" Robanov said in the most sincere tone.

"850,000 pounds can't make up for my trauma." Ruprecht smiled slightly. "In business, talk and business, don't talk about national relations with me. This thing is just a rag to you. Use it to wipe it twice, and throw it away when you don't use it. Don't expect Prime Minister Bismarck to help you. He is right Bavaria has no influence. The Kaiser has no control over who I want to sell my ship to. Go back and tell Nicholas II all this. Then come up with a price higher than that of the United States, Britain and Japan, otherwise nothing will be discussed. From my personal point of view, I very much hope that you can spend the rest of your life in prison."

"Is Japan really going to attack Russia in 1898?" Standing on the terrace of Schwanstein Castle, Tirpitz said with some doubts.

"It's not necessarily necessary to do it. If everything continues like this, you don't need to do it, and the Russians will be discouraged." Ruprecht said.

"The Russian made a really bad move." Tirpitz sighed.

"If this thing can be done like this, then it will be fine. Although I hate Japan as a country, I have to say that sometimes their planning is really powerful. Remember what I said today, 1898 must be It's been a wonderful year! The Russian family is definitely not the only one who is unlucky!" The prince smiled mysteriously after finishing speaking.

"How much more can happen?" Tirpitz became interested.

"It's a very big thing. I'm afraid the world's top countries will be involved."

"Then I would like to ask, if the Russians are willing to offer the price to 900,000 pounds, will you return these two warships to Russia?" Tirpitz did not understand what the prince said earlier, and he was embarrassed to repeat Asked, so the topic was changed rationally.

"No!" The prince replied very simply.

"Because Japan will pay 950,000 yuan! Even higher! In addition, money is only one aspect. More benefits cannot be measured by money. There is still one year before the completion of the two warships. I have plenty of time to play with them " said the prince with a smile.

"Where did Japan get so much money?" Tirpitz said in disbelief.

"Britain and the United States don't want Spain or Russia to get these two warships. Where do you think Japan's money comes from? Well, let's sort out the content of today's talks, and then I will talk to the Americans." Ruprecht Said.
