Chapter 523: Aftermath
"I said to keep it secret, to be cautious, to be careful of the prying eyes of those shameless countries! And how do you do it now? The information of the most powerful battleship in the empire has been obtained by the other party in this way! Look at the security measures at the Germania shipyard and then look at the security measures at the Brom-Foss shipyard! Did you hire a bunch of hooligans to look after the ship? Admiral Tirpitz roared loudly at his subordinates!
He now somewhat understands His Royal Highness's hostility to the capitalists! This group of guys is really a bunch of lords who don't care about anything but money, and the Navy has arranged guards for the construction of battleships. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info But at the same time, it also needs the cooperation of relevant manufacturers, it is inevitable to be peeped at this time, but it is not the same to find that the shipyard insiders collude with British spies! During this time, he has been busy dealing with this matter. I was beaten by the Kaiser yesterday and I am summoned again today, and maybe I will be scolded again!
Tirpitz could clearly sense the Kaiser's dissatisfaction with him, and since the last bidding for warships, the Kaiser's attitude towards him has gradually cooled. This has nothing to do with Prince Ruprecht, who does not speak ill of himself in front of the Kaiser. The fundamental reason is that the Kaiser feels that he is not capable enough! Obviously, Prince Ruprecht did a better job than himself, although he was not a naval professional, but whether it was shipbuilding or strategic planning, he threw himself a few streets away as a professional.
And Tirpitz, as a professional manager rather than a shareholder, if the directors of the shareholders' meeting found that their abilities were average, and someone else could do better, Tirpitz's position as a professional manager would be in jeopardy, and now, just when Tirpitz was preparing to regain his strength and perform again, it turned out to be ....... The last time Tirpitz saw the Kaiser's cold eyes, he could clearly feel drops of cold sweat falling!
And just yesterday after scolding himself, Tirpitz should stop for a few days towards the Kaiser, and after a while, little Moltke will be back, and the Kaiser will always go and prepare to turn his energy to the army, how can he still keep an eye on this matter? Tirpitz was depressed. But I had to face it.
"It's out there, and accountability is one aspect. But what do we do next? To Tirpitz's surprise, the Kaiser summoned him this time and did not continue to inquire about the spy, but about the aftermath of the incident.
"The British are doing the same thing as us, the Imperial Navy as a whole has lost its technological superiority, but the appearance of the Nassau-class battleships has also devalued the former dreadnought fleet of the British, which is good news for the Empire. If we want the British to listen to us, then our fleet must at least remain at a level that is sufficiently deterrent to the British. When Tirpitz heard this, he immediately came to his senses, and listened to the Kaiser's meaning, this is to be built greatly! Tirpitz has been looking for opportunities for naval expansion, and this time, it seems that the Kaiser has sent the opportunity to his door?
"Dajian? I want to too, but it takes money to build a big building! Moltke Jr. said in his letter a few days ago that he wanted to build armored troops like Bavaria, and he also asked me for money! At this time, you still withdraw money from me? Don't you know that Lao Tzu was worried when he saw Mark recently?! "The Kaiser looked at Tirpitz even more unkindly! After all, Germany is still a land power country, even if the Kaiser likes the navy and appreciates Tirpitz again, the status of the navy is still not as good as the army, and the weight of Tirpitz's words is not as good as that of Moltke!
"I'll talk about shipbuilding later, and I'm thinking about how to deal with this matter now. If the British can know that we are building new warships, then people from other countries, the French, the Russians, and the Italians, may also start building new warships, and it is not only the old British warships that are devalued, but also the imperial fleet. Prince Heinrich advised me to keep a low profile, and I would like to hear your opinion now. The Kaiser thought for a moment and said.
"As for the expansion of the fleet, you'd better consult with the future Ruprecht **** before making a plan. It's too early to say that. The Kaiser pondered for a moment and continued, and Tirpitz felt a chill in his heart ....... Because the meaning of this sentence is already very clear, although the Kaiser still let him stay in the position of Minister of State for the Navy, it has weakened his authority, and the submission of future naval plans is not up to him alone! You know, in the past, Ruprecht could only involve shipbuilding, but he couldn't control the construction of a few ships, but now it's different!
But now he has not been worried about the work that will become more and more difficult in the future, and now the Kaiser has asked him to come up with a solution, how to deal with this matter?
Actually, this is not a bad thing, Britain does not have good relations with most of the big powers now, and although it has recently become close to the French, there are still many disputes between the two sides in Africa. Not to mention the Russians, who were preparing to fight with the proxies of the British in the Far East. Sea power is exclusive, and if other countries' navies are stronger, then the British will have to face more pressure, and I think we can reveal some information in due course. Tirpitz thought for a moment and said.
Tirpitz deduced the matter entirely according to his theory, believing that sea power could not be shared, and that the emperor holding the sea emperor's trident was an enemy with all other competitors. But in reality, this is not the case, when the situation changes, when the British are unable to suppress the rest of the world's navies, they will choose to compromise, they can sign a sincere agreement with the French to form an alliance, they can also buy the Russians with pounds, and even have equal sea power with the United States after World War 1. Therefore, Tirpitz meant to spread the news and let everyone build a dreadnought together, anyway, once the dreadnought came out, it couldn't be hidden, and it wasn't impossible to do it earlier.
Hesitation, the Kaiser was very hesitant, because the two had very different opinions. Tirpitz and Prince Heinrich had a very good point, Tirpitz was basing his theory on what seemed to make some sense, and Prince Heinrich was concerned about the pressure on Germany from the expansion of the French dreadnought. After all, unlike the Russians, the French are in a good economic situation, and since the last time they were beaten by Germany in Africa, France is now starting to have the urge to expand its army! One England and one France, the Kaiser felt a lot of pressure!
"Forget it, let's talk to an old friend." Asking buddies if you don't decide is a habit that the Kaiser has developed for ten years.......
