Chapter 17: The Emperor's Relief

"It seems that the responsibility of the Navy is greater than we thought!" Marshal Count Tirpitz sighed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Indeed, Your Excellency. Unfortunately, even with the support of His Majesty the Emperor, we still do not have enough funds. Dean Birkenhagen also lamented.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your help to the Navy. It has to be said that being able to have one more battleship will make our navy a little stronger. Perhaps, we will have a chance to defeat the British. Marshal Count Tirpitz said. Although, this chance is very slim. But as the generals of the German Imperial Navy, they still had to rise to the challenge and strive for victory in the future war.

"Your Excellency Marshal, it is not impossible to defeat the British." Qin Tian said.

Field Marshal Count Tirpitz and Dean of Birkenhagen suddenly lit up.

"Your Royal Highness, is there anything you can do?" There was a hint of expectation in the eyes of both of them.

"It is unlikely that the navy will defeat the British and want to compete with them for the number of capital ships. Only in terms of performance, it is better than the British. Every class of battleships we build in the future must be battleships capable of suppressing the British. In this way, we will be able to win more with less, and the weak over the strong. Qin Tian said.

Marshal Tirpitz and Dean Birkenhagen's brows were already furrowed together. It would have been unrealistic to compete with the wealthy British for the number of battleships. However, it will be equally difficult to completely suppress the British in terms of performance.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Your Excellency. The battleship I donate to the Navy this time will be a completely new battleship, an epoch-making battleship. Once built, the battleships built before will probably be swept into the garbage heap. Qin Tian's face was confident.

It was with the 'dreadnoughts' that the British made the huge number of former dreadnoughts of their competitors obsolete overnight, so that the British Navy could continue to maintain absolute superiority. If the German Navy can build dreadnoughts one step ahead, it will continue to improve and build more powerful dreadnoughts in the future. Well, this will make the British Navy no worse than the British Navy in terms of cutting-edge capital ships. Even if there are some gaps, it won't be too big. If you take into account the weaknesses of the battleships of the British Navy themselves, such as thin skins and large fillings, there are also problems with shells. In the decisive naval battle between the two sides, the probability of victory for the German navy is undoubtedly still very high.

Marshal Count Tirpitz and Dean Birkenhagen were immediately shocked by what Qin Tian said. If it were someone else, they would definitely think that the other person was talking nonsense. But Qin Tian is different, Qin Tian is good at creating miracles. What they originally thought was impossible, Qin Tian did.

"Your Royal Highness, are you serious?" Marshal Count Tirpitz's voice trembled a little. If what Qin Tian said was true, then the German Navy might really have a chance to defeat the British. This was undoubtedly a hope for the German Navy.

"Of course, Your Excellency, I'm not kidding." Qin Tian's face was serious. He knew that it would be very difficult to convince the stubbornly conservative fellows of the German Navy to build all-heavy artillery battleships. But if you can get the support of Marshal Count Tirpitz first, it will undoubtedly be relatively simple.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, can you show me the design drawings?" Marshal Tirpitz said excitedly.

Dean Birkenhagen was also very excited.

"Your Excellency Marshal, Your Excellency the Dean, this is not the right time. After today, let's find time. Qin Tian said with a smile.

Despite the itching, Marshal Count Tirpitz and the Abbot of Birkenhagen had to nod their heads in understanding.

When Qin Tian wanted to have a good conversation with Marshal Earl Tirpitz and Dean Birkenhagen, a hostile gaze was looking at them. The owner of this gaze is none other than Crown Prince William.

"What the hell is Oscar trying to do? Is he going to make friends with the Navy? Crown Prince William was almost trembling with anger. As the crown prince of Germany, the future emperor of the Reich, he certainly knew how important it was to hold military power. Qin Tian befriended the navy, which undoubtedly touched his bottom line.

Although he was rightfully the crown prince of the empire, if Qin Tian had the support of the military, wouldn't he be able to stage a coup d'Γ©tat and remove him from power? That kind of consequence is not what Crown Prince William wants.

"No matter what, you can't let that kid succeed. There was only one crown prince of the German Empire, and that was me. Others, don't want to snatch the throne from me. Crown Prince William's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

Although they are all brothers of the same mother, it is never new for brothers to kill brothers and sisters in order to inherit the throne.

The dinner lasted until midnight. However, Wilhelm II did not stay long. He almost just showed up, then bumped glasses with some important people a few times and left.

As the Emperor, he is undoubtedly very busy, and even if it is Christmas Eve, he has unfinished official business.

Sitting in his office, Wilhelm II saw a long box on the table.

"Essen, what is this?" Wilhelm II asked.

"Your Majesty, this is a Christmas gift from His Royal Highness Prince Oscar." Essen? Feng? Jonah Lets replied.

Wilhelm II couldn't help but shake his head: "This guy, even if he makes money, he can't waste it like this." ”

Still, Wilhelm II opened the long box.

He realized that he seemed to be mistaken, and that it was not some fine gem or precious antique, but a piece of paper. However, what was drawn on this piece of paper made Wilhelm II's eyes widen.

"This, where did Oscar get this?" Wilhelm II asked.

"Your Majesty, listen to Karl, this is painted by His Royal Highness the Prince himself. During this time, His Royal Highness the Prince has been locking himself in his office and drawing pictures himself. Essen said.

Wilhelm II couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then his face was happy: "I didn't expect that guy, in addition to being very talented in business, he is also so talented in smashing battleship design." I'll just say, how can a child of the royal family be a guy who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it? ”

Obviously, Qin Tian's performance made Wilhelm II's perception of him change dramatically. Of course, this was also a relief for Wilhelm II. As a father, of course, he hopes that his sons will be able to prosper. Even if Wilhelm II was emperor, he was no exception in this regard.
