"Your Majesty, if we send warships to Morocco, I am afraid that this will further escalate the situation, causing the French to overreact, and making the situation even more tense. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info "Foreign Minister Feng? Kidren? Vahit was a little worried.

"Intensification is intensification, what's the big deal. The French, do they dare to really go to war with us? Wilhelm II said indifferently. Indeed, although France was Germany's old enemy, after Germany's industrial and military strength, as well as its population, and other factors were able to crush France, Wilhelm II believed that France was no longer a concern and could not threaten Germany at all. Had it not been for Britain and Russia supporting France, Germany would have been able to knock the French down in a matter of minutes and make them kneel on the ground and learn to behave.

Of course, it was precisely because of the support of Britain and Russia that the French were so arrogant and dared to provoke Germany again and again.

"Your Majesty, France is certainly not to be worried. But the attitude of Britain and Russia, we have to take into account. The British, in particular, are already quite dissatisfied with our vigorous development of the navy. If we escalate the situation again at this time, the British will certainly react as well. Once the gun goes off, the situation becomes uncontrollable. "Prime Minister Bernhardt? Feng? Billo said.

"Shall we not do anything? Let the interests of the empire be shamelessly stolen by the French! "Wilhelm II was a little dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, it is very necessary to show the attitude of the Empire. But at the same time, it is better not to detonate the war. After all, our preparations for war have not yet been able to complete. Marshal Count Tirpitz also said.

"Lord Tirpitz, if we go to war with the British now, will the navy be able to defeat them?" Moltke asked suddenly.

Marshal Count Tirpitz was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then replied: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, our 'King-class' battleships and 'D-Fringel-class' battlecruisers will not be able to enter service until the end of the year. The 'Bavaria-class' battleships and the 'Mackensen-class' battlecruisers are about to start construction. If we only rely on our existing capital ships to confront the British Navy, we will be about 50% sure of defeating the British Navy. Of course, no one can say anything about the naval battle, and there are too many factors that will affect the outcome of the decisive battle at sea. ”

Wilhelm II nodded with satisfaction, the German Navy had a fifty percent chance of winning against the British Royal Navy, which was undoubtedly very remarkable. It is in vain that he has been vigorously supporting the development of the navy over the years. Otherwise, the German Navy would not have known that it would not be able to catch up with the British Navy until the Year of the Monkey!

Of course, Wilhelm II also understood what Field Marshal Tirpitz meant, that is, it was better to wait until the 'Bavaria-class' and 'Mackensen-class' battlecruisers were in service. In that case, Germany would have a total of ten battleships armed with 380 mm guns in two classes, and six battlecruisers with 380 mm guns in two classes. This would give the German Navy a decisive advantage over the top capital ships. The probability that the German Navy would defeat the British Royal Navy was undoubtedly even higher.

"Fifty percent sure, that's already very high. Your Majesty, though we are not ready for war. But again, the British were not ready for war. If we take this opportunity to go to war with them, our chances of victory will not be too small. Moltke Jr. suggested.

Obviously, Moltke's proposal is another crazy one. Neither Wilhelm II nor any other high-ranking officials of the empire thought of going to war now.

It would be too hasty for all of us to start a great war for the fate of the empire and the nation, after all, once the war has begun, it is impossible to stop it until the winner is decided. Therefore, everyone is very cautious about whether to go to war, and no one wants to be defeated in the end, so that they will become sinners of the empire and the nation. Even the conceited Wilhelm II was forward-looking on this issue.

"If you start a war now, it's too early, let's see how the situation develops, and then let's talk about it!" Wilhelm II said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Moltke nodded, but there was a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

Qin Tian saw all of Moltke's reactions. He knew very well what Moltke was thinking. As Qin Tian's influence in the army grew, the living space of Moltke Jr. and his group of people was being squeezed. Moltke Jr., even as the chief of the General Staff of the Army, felt tremendous pressure. If war had broken out earlier, these pressures would have been eliminated.

"Father, the navy can send a light warship to Morocco to see how things are developing, and then make a decision on the next step." Qin Tian suggested.

Wilhelm II nodded and adopted Qin Tian's suggestion.

After the meeting, Marshal Count Tirpitz gave the order for the gunboat "Leopard" to go to Morocco. After Qin Tian learned about this, he shook his head speechlessly.

"It seems that the ability to correct mistakes in history is still very strong! Even though the world has been changed by me now, I still return to the original trajectory little by little. Qin Tian thought secretly.

In another time and space, Germany also sent the "Leopard" warship to Morocco. However, in the end, the Moroccan crisis did not turn into war. Therefore, Qin Tian believed that although the situation was very tense this time, it was still unlikely that a war would be detonated because of this.

Until now, Germany's preparations for war had not been able to be completed. Similarly, Qin Tian's preparations were not yet complete. All kinds of advanced weapons are still being prepared. Of course, Qin Tian hoped that before the outbreak of the war, these preparations could be completed. In this way, the chances of victory in future wars will be greater.

The gunboat Leopard was an 'Ildis-class' patrol ship attached to the Imperial German Navy, which had served mainly in Germany's overseas colonies in the past. Such a small warship is not even qualified to participate in large-scale naval battles. However, it is precisely because of such a small warship that the international situation has become more and more tense.

The French reacted violently to the German sending warships to Morocco. The French government clamored that if Germany did not withdraw their ships, they would send more troops to Morocco. This also made the relationship between France and Germany very tense and tense.
