Next, Wilhelm II and Marshal Count Tirpitz talked about the current international situation, while Qin Tian listened quietly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAlthough, as a later generation, he has a very clear understanding of the direction of history. But it was clearly impossible for him to inform Wilhelm II and Marshal Count Tirpitz of everything. In that case, the two of them would definitely think of him as a monster.

In addition, being able to have the opportunity to listen to the conversation between William II and Marshal Count Tirpitz meant that Qin Tian had been recognized by the two. You must know that except for Crown Prince William, who had this qualification because of his identity, the other sons of William II did not have this qualification. This is already a great improvement for Qin Tian.

Of course, Qin Tian knew that it would be very difficult to replace Crown Prince William. He basically stopped having such illusions. However, it would be great if he could strengthen his voice in state affairs.

From the conversation between Wilhelm II and Field Marshal Count Tirpitz, Qin Tian knew that Germany was now facing a very severe external environment. After the Moroccan crisis, Britain, France and Russia became closer and closer, and although they had not yet concluded a real alliance contract, it was predictable. Even, the three countries were already suppressing Germany from now on.

This is also the reason why Wilhelm II gradually began to abandon his illusions in Britain and began to invest more in the navy. Otherwise, Wilhelm II would still not be an enemy of England.

"Your Excellency Marshal, as soon as Britain, France, and Russia truly conclude a treaty, we will be under even greater pressure." Wilhelm II's brow furrowed tightly. The current Germany is undoubtedly a high-speed running train, which cannot be stopped at all. If we fail to break through the blockade of Britain, France and Russia, I am afraid that there will be only one final result, that is, the car will be destroyed and people will die.

"Yes, Your Majesty! In the event of a war, the Empire would be under great pressure. The combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army, the first in the world, there is no doubt about it. However, I am afraid that we will have to face a two-front battle. If the Imperial Army is unable to defeat its opponents quickly, the war will inevitably fall into a stalemate. At that time, I am afraid that the only way to reverse the situation will be to rely on the navy. Therefore, we must strengthen the navy as much as possible, and shorten the gap between the British navy and the British navy as much as possible. Marshal Count Tirpitz said with a serious face.

Wilhelm II nodded, although he believed in the fighting power of the German Army, and if the war began, it was highly likely that they would once again win a brilliant victory, just like the Franco-Prussian War more than thirty years ago. But he had to admit that the current world situation is completely different from that of more than 30 years ago. The development of science and technology has brought earth-shaking changes to the combat effectiveness and combat methods of the armed forces. It is estimated that it will not be easy for the German Army to sweep the French as it did more than thirty years ago. So, Wilhelm II had to prepare for the worst. That is, once the army could not defeat the enemy quickly, the navy had to assume the responsibility of breaking the naval blockade of the British and ensuring that Germany's overseas trade routes were not cut off. Otherwise, there is probably only one way to wait for Germany, and that is to be dragged to death.

Of course, Wilhelm II still believed that if Germany could have a strong navy, it might be able to directly force Britain not to join the war, so as to achieve the effect of surrendering without a fight. Without Britain as a great enemy, the pressure on Germany would naturally be much less. It was almost impossible for France and Russia to defeat Germany.

If Qin Tian knew this idea of Wilhelm II, he would definitely say that the too young, too simple Tucson would be broken. In order to ensure their world hegemony, how could the British allow Germany to defeat France and Russia and dominate the European continent? The policy pursued by the British has always been a policy of continental balancing. That is, they will not allow a hegemon to emerge on the European continent. When a country is strong, they will draw in other countries and besiege it. France, Russia, and now Germany were all victims of this policy of the British.

"From now on, until the outbreak of war, we will do everything we can to develop the navy. Hopefully, we will be able to win the next war that will affect the fate of Germany! Wilhelm II sighed.

"Your Majesty, we will definitely win." Marshal Count Tirpitz was very determined.

"Father, there is no doubt that the British will be our enemies, and even become the core of the three kingdoms of Britain, France and Russia. To do so, we must use all means to weaken them. In addition to developing armaments and surpassing the British head-on, other methods also need to be used. Qin Tian suggested.

"Oscar, do you have any suggestions?" Wilhelm II asked.

"Father, Britain is so strong because they have the largest colonies in the world. It was these colonies, which were dozens of times larger and more populous than the British mainland, that propped up the British Empire. However, we can also see that the British rule in the colonies is no longer so secure. There have been big business against Britain in India, and two Boer wars in South Africa. Even now, there are many people who oppose British rule. If we can invest a little more in those people, I'm sure we'll get a very good profit. Qin Tian said.

"Well, that's a good idea. Although it is unlikely to pose any real threat to the British, it is acceptable if it can weaken them and add to them. Wilhelm II nodded.

"Father, in addition to the British colonies, the British homeland is not at peace. Haven't the Irish been fighting for independence? If we support the independence of the Irish, if successful, this will not only greatly weaken the strength of the British, but also have a pro-German country next to the British. This will be very useful for us to defeat the British in the future. Even if the Irish fail to stand on their own, there is nothing to lose to us, only to lose some money. It could also weaken the British, making the Irish even more hostile to the British. Their resistance will definitely continue one after another. When the time comes, there will naturally be a headache for the British! Qin Tian smiled.
