The Rise of the Empire

"You may not know that in the Royal Navy, we have always believed that you have ten battleships at present. And such a fleet is simply more terrifying than the fifteen battleships of the French or Russians. They are agile, powerful, and all new. Ship! I have always wondered why the Mainz-class armored cruiser cannot be called a second-class battleship? It can even be called a first-class battleship. Do you think so?"\u003c/p\u003eAs a veteran Royal Navy officer, Fisher naturally He would not relax his vigilance against the Germans just because the prince said a few words, and he even pointed out some small actions made by the prince rather vaguely. There may not be much malice in these words, it's just that Fisher doesn't like others to fool himself with ambiguous concepts! \u003c/p\u003e"Well, this is just a conceptual issue. It is not wise for us to argue over what is a battleship equipped with 10-inch guns, but I think there is one problem that you should be clear about. No matter in your eyes, we Does it make a difference to the Royal Navy whether there are 6 battleships or 10 battleships?"\u003c/p\u003eThere was a hint of hostility in the British's words, which made the prince very unhappy, but the situation is stronger than others, and Germany needs time to develop And preparation, it is inevitable to take the initiative to admit cowardice at this time, not to mention that the current fleet really cannot compare with the huge Royal Navy. But the necessary counterattack is still needed. \u003c/p\u003e"I think, instead of paying attention to the German navy that is trapped in the North Sea, the Royal Navy should pay more attention to the Russian navy. The Russians are very sincere, and our return is also full of sincerity." The prince said with a smile. \u003c/p\u003e "Hehe." Fisher smiled slightly embarrassed. Of course, he knew exactly what the prince was talking about, and that was the imaginary picture of the Rurik 2 armored cruiser that had been posted in the most prominent place in his office! Fisher still remembers how inexplicably surprised he was when he got this imaginary picture! \u003c/p\u003e"Four 12-inch guns, eight 10-inch guns! A warship of 17,000 tons! It can still run 20 knots?! Is this true or not?" Shortly after construction of the battleship began, some rough data was sent to the desks of the top British Navy. At that time, Fisher was quite skeptical about this report, because the above data were too ridiculous! \u003c/p\u003eThe Russians did not hide it this time, and did not "define" Rurik 2 as an armored cruiser, but defined it as a fast battleship according to the Germans' suggestion! This thing is really scary! If the British can deceive themselves by saying that our artillery is larger than the opponent's caliber when facing Asama and other warships, so the opponent can't beat me, then facing the Rurik 2, the British division is really afraid! This thing is the strongest and largest warship in the world now! \u003c/p\u003eAfter learning of this news, the British once expressed the British Empire's dissatisfaction with the German government's sale of warships to Russia through diplomatic channels. Of course, this is of no use... No one has trouble with money. But this time, when the prince mentioned this matter again, Fisher began to think about some more questions. For example, if the sale of Rurik 2 to Russia was due to economic factors, will there be a clear political orientation now? ! \u003c/p\u003e"What do you mean?" Fisher looked at the prince strangely. Looking forward to his next article. \u003c/p\u003e"To be honest, the power of the Asama class has become a thing of the past, and the glory of the Sulu Sea naval battle may not appear again. To be honest, I think that the big country in Europe that has the best relationship with Germany is Russia , he is hostile to your country, and most importantly, he has limited interest in Europe, don't you think?" The prince's smiling face looked so terrifying to Fisher! \u003c/p\u003eThis has already been said very clearly, at least from the language analysis,

Fisher can draw such a conclusion that Germany is willing to support Russia's expansion in the Far East. If the Russians focus on the Far East, Europe will naturally be overwhelmed. On the European continent, if the Russians are silent, who can contend? The mighty Deo? \u003c/p\u003eIf these words come from the mouth of the German Prime Minister, then don’t be afraid, because the current Prime Minister’s influence is very limited. That's different, because this person's performance in the past few years is too shocking, he belongs to the kind of ability, he has ideas, he does it when he thinks about it, and most of the time he can get things done! \u003c/p\u003eFischer once spent a lot of time researching this prince, and he found that although the prince's actions were inexplicable, even thoughtless, they were done by various chances and coincidences! When the Kaiser began to transfer the military factories and shipyards under the imperial family to capitalists, the prince decided to engage in military industry by himself. Unexpectedly, it was completed in just a few years of hard work! Whether it is hardened armor or rapid-fire guns, Bavaria's economic strength has risen to a higher level. \u003c/p\u003eThe following content is even more called Liaozhai! Just stirring it up casually caused Japan to pay a terrible price in the Qing-Japanese War, and then stirring it up again, pitting the United States and Russia once again! That's right, the United States and Russia were cheated. Fisher's intuition told him that the prince actually hoped that the United States would lose to Japan in the Philippines! Because it's all too coincidental! 4 warships were finally delivered to the Japanese! Then turned around and used it on the Americans.... \u003c/p\u003eIn addition, the recent dispute between Germany and Portugal is said to have been planned by the prince. Therefore, Fisher believes that the prince has the energy and power second only to the Kaiser among the top German officials, and can easily influence Germany's political orientation. If Germany and Russia really reach a certain understanding, then the British It is undoubtedly a very bad thing! \u003c/p\u003e"The words you said seem to have nothing to do with me. You should say these words to the ambassador of the British Empire in Berlin. In this way, your intentions may be more easily conveyed to the upper echelons of the empire." Fisher said . \u003c/p\u003e"British ambassador? He knows me, but I don't know him! Besides, for professional issues such as the navy, it is natural to talk to professional people. Just 3 days ago, I received a letter from China Telegram sent, the Russians have ordered the fourth Rurik 2 class battleship. And the next loan from the Americans will soon be sent to Russia, plus this time the French. Russia has enough funds Order two more ships, so I would like to ask your Excellency now, if Japan wants to win, how much additional cost will it need?"\u003c/p\u003eThe prince's smile is still bright, but it makes Fisher shudder! The so-called threat, of course, must make people feel the danger, so this threat is useful. Since it is a matter of the navy, the prince will naturally tell the knowledgeable Fisher, because he understands, he cares, and he knows the severity. And it won't take long for this guy to go back to the Admiralty! Steward, very useful! Nothing to do with the British ambassador? \u003c/p\u003eThe third one is here~~~!
