The Rise of the Empire

"Well, don't tell me, William II is really good enough. When he finally gets a chance to show, he will show his feathers like a peacock!" Although he thought he had experienced some big scenes ! But when Ruprecht saw the pomp of the German crown prince, he still felt that the scene was a bit big! The entire guard regiment was deployed on both sides of the road, and the number of German nobles accompanying the reception reached 500! The German crown prince wore the uniform of the Black Hawk Knights. Next to him are 20 members of the Black Hawk Knights. These are the top nobles in Germany, it is really rare to appear on an informal occasion!

　　 In fact, the prince is still a little bit fussy, and the level of profligacy of William II is almost incomparable to now! There was a record in history that in a royal event, almost all the nobles around Berlin who could meet with the royal family were present, and the number was enough to have more than 2,000 people! According to different classes, they are distributed around the passage to welcome the arrival of the Kaiser! What is the ostentation now?

　　 The crown prince was very satisfied with today's arrangement, especially after seeing the surprised expression of the person he was receiving. However, the other party is also a prince after all, and the etiquette must be thoughtful. After the other party saluted first to show respect, the crown prince also graciously returned the gift, and then the two entered the hall.

　　Although it has been 10 years, Prince Ruprecht is still a little uncomfortable with large-scale court entertainment. In the past, there was a dad who stood by him, and he would not go if he didn't go, but this time it seems that he can't escape! After all, you are one of the protagonists. However, Prince William, who was the other protagonist, did not have the consciousness and consciousness of being the protagonist! After a short cut, he decisively pulled his little brother and the prince into the private room to discuss some things that his Royal Highness was interested in! For example, warships and colonies!

As the prince’s younger brother, Tirpitz has informed His Royal Highness about the meeting with the traverser. Of course, for the sake of the overall situation and in order to make the relationship between the two princes more harmonious, Tirpitz covered both sides with the spring and autumn brushwork. Differences in some ideas.

　　 The emphasis is on the use of pen and ink on the new armored cruiser. How much benefit will it bring to the German Navy once it is in service? In addition, the Bavarian Ship Design Bureau has another set of more ambitious plans that can be launched when conditions permit, etc.! And in the report, Tirpitz also attached a comparison of the new armored cruiser and the warships of the same level in other countries, which is more obvious and intuitive, and can bring the prince a sense of satisfaction! The scum cruiser of the British Empire is worthless in front of brother's new cruiser. Nothing can make the prince who loves the navy and dissatisfied with the United Kingdom more happy!

　　 If you have something good in your hand, you have to show it off, frighten those small countries, and get some benefits! So today's topic has been settled, that is, the question of where the Imperial Navy's saber is about to point! Now everyone in Africa is almost divided, and the Americas are reserved for Americans. Oceania is all the British Commonwealth. The Arctic Ocean can't live! The crown prince has a sharp sword in his hand but can't find the target!

　　 snap! Ruprecht nodded a certain country in Asia and the East with his finger!

　　 "Qing country? We maintain a good relationship with them, and the annual bilateral trade volume is around 40 million marks, is this done......" Tirpitz said hesitantly on one side.

　　 "Brother, you can see clearly, I ordered Japan!" The prince roared in his heart, because of the influence of the arc of the globe, Tirpitz was dazzled! With two bounces, the prince clicked vigorously again! "Don't make me go crazy! See clearly!"

　　 "Japan? Is this little guy worthy of the empire's attention?" The crown prince's words were full of contempt, while Tirpitz was embarrassed. The description of William II in later generations will never miss the incident of Qingdao, and also the German seizure of the Jiaodong Bay and the German commander-in-chief of the Eight-Power Allied Forces. It is true that in history, the German emperor’s attitude towards the Qing state after 1895 was very bad, but now, the two sides are still friends at least. Germany needs the real money of the Qing state, and the Qing state also needs German Krupp artillery to decorate the facade! And Germany in the Qing Dynasty is not unreasonable.

If we have to talk about how the relationship between the two parties started to go bad, in fact, after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, when the bruised Man Qing cleaned up his family and prepared to regain its strength, the German industry was looking forward to more with joy. The silver can flow into the German pockets, and a second-class ironclad ship with a displacement of more than 7,000 tons and a price of only 480,000 pounds was launched! (Interested readers can Baidu to look at Qianwu Haitian. The author believes that although this warship does not use hardened armor, it has really good performance. The price is very high.)

However, because the price of 480,000 pounds for a single ship was still beyond the capacity of the Manchus, and at the same time, the Qing was afraid of being beaten by the accelerated gunfire of the British protective cruiser. It chose the British second-class protective cruiser and only threw it to the German three. An order for a 2,000-ton boat. UU reading www.uukanshu. com this makes Germany very dissatisfied! The Germans think that the money they should make is flying away! Thus the relationship deteriorates. Of course, this is the latter matter and will not be mentioned for the time being. At least for now, the relationship between the two parties is not bad!

"If we only look at the situation in the Far East, it is clearly the best for the empire. The Qing Dynasty is still stable. The aura brought by the Westernization Movement can also deter Russia in the north and gain economic benefits from Britain, Germany and France. The Three Kingdoms have no intention of changing reality! But if a small country in the East wants to break this situation, the original equilibrium will be destroyed!"

　　 looked at His Royal Highness, who was already frowning slightly, the prince added another fire! "Unlike Britain and France, which have a large number of colonies in Southeast Asia and East Asia, our foothold in the Far East is too far away from the Manchus and has the least influence on the situation of the Manchus! If there are newcomers who plan to come in and share the cake, then The weakest party will definitely suffer losses. We need to warn those countries that are trying to disrupt the situation. At least we must make them cast a rat!"

　　 "Japan, such a small country is not worthy of our attention? How can a country that has just bought a few ships from the French and the British change the situation in the Far East? Prince William's words are full of disdain!

"It is precisely because of the support of the British that Japan can challenge the Qing country, and the United Kingdom also needs to support a country to fight against Russia! We know very little about Japan, but since the British dare to do this, there must be his Reason. Although the British sometimes hate it, their plans can generally be realized!" Prince Ruprecht said seriously.
