Maybe Benjamin is too patriotic and cares too much about Britain's maritime interests, so he is very sensitive to all threats on the sea, such as the mysterious warship.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of the Royal Navy, please make up your mind to destroy Xiao Lotian quickly! The two naval battles of Iquique and Dakar have proven the excellent performance of this mysterious warship, and I have also studied it with naval engineers before......

"Our experts were shocked, and from the fragmented intelligence they deduced some of the basic properties of this battleship...... This should be a pure ironclad battleship, all cast from the keel to the shell are made of steel, and only such a hull structure can be installed with a 210 caliber cannon......"

"That's right, judging from the damage of the two naval battles, the main gun of this battleship must be about 210 mm...... The idea of giving up quantity and choosing power is very bold, and even our British Navy does not dare to make such an attempt easily!"

"The artillery is more powerful but the number is reduced, so the only way to attack from all angles with rotating turrets is through the central axis arrangement, and this new artillery arrangement naturally gives birth to a new naval battle tactic, which has been proven in these two naval battles......"

"Based on all of the above, our experts unanimously believe that Xiao Lotian has mastered a set of mature new warship technology, and what is even more terrifying is that he has developed a complete set of perfect new tactics, which is terrifying, how did he do it?

"Is he a prophet?"

"Threat! This is the greatest deterrent ...... our British navy" Originally, it would have been enough to say this, the queen and the Earl of Derby had already wavered a little, but Benjamin's later words angered a person.

"The greater threat is Prussia! This battleship must have been produced by Prussia, there are not many countries that can have such an industrial standard now, it is absolutely impossible for us and Britain, the United States is now isolationist and they will not be mixed into the battle for maritime hegemony......

"The Russians and Xiao Lotian are completely enemies, and the rest of the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Italy, Spain and other countries do not have such a strong industrial base...... The only possibility is Prussia!"

"Only this coal and iron country, only Prussia, which is rich in rigorous engineers and soldiers, is the only country that can produce and is willing to produce warships for Xiao Letian, which means that Prussia has now completely mastered the production technology of this kind of warship and the tactics that accompany it!"

"This is the most terrifying part, if Prussia joins the naval club, if their strategic focus shifts to the ocean, our British Empire's colonies will be threatened!"

"No, absolutely not...... Prussia cannot become a maritime power, he should obediently be an inland power under our baton, they only deserve to eat the leftovers of our trade chain, and the British Empire will never let Prussia join the competition for sea power......!

"Why!" A children's voice followed by a bang, the side door of the concert hall was slammed open, and a **-year-old boy came out of it, dressed in palace costume, and his face turned red angrily.

"Say it again! Why can't we in Prussia have a navy? Why can't we have colonies? Why should we eat your scraps? If you don't give me an explanation, Mr. Benjamin, you have to give an explanation to the whole Kingdom of Prussia......

When Benjamin and Earl Derby saw the child appear, their faces flushed and they immediately stood up, "Dear little prince...... You are mistaken...... You, you, you really misunderstood......"

This child was Queen Victoria's own grandson and first grandson, the son of Prince Karl and the son of Prince Karl, the king of Prussia.

This is the future monarch of the Kingdom of Prussia, so everyone calls him the little prince, plus he is currently the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria, which makes little William's position very strong, and he belongs to the upper prince in the European aristocratic circle.

He had just accompanied his grandmother to listen to the piano music in the concert hall, but Benjamin and the others interrupted the little prince's enjoyment, and in order to avoid suspicion, the little prince and the others came to the small hall on the side of the concert hall and opened a book to pass the time.

As a result, Benjamin's voice became louder and louder, so loud that little William could hear it clearly, at first he didn't care much, after all, distant China had little to do with him, but Benjamin actually dared to attack Prussia in the end, and the little prince was angry all of a sudden.

Ignoring the court's attendants, he slammed open the door and loudly questioned Benjamin's remarks.

Although Benjamin is a mature politician, he also knows at the moment that there is something wrong with what he says, Prussia is a country that is related to Britain no matter what, and there are some things that can be said behind the scenes but cannot be put on the surface.

The little prince looked at Benjamin, who was red-eared and speechless, and said: "Whether Prussia goes to the sea or not, it should be the Prussian kingdom to make its own decision, and I don't believe that my grandmother will jam my grandson's neck and make the Prussian kingdom starve and be poor! Do you think that my grandson will make my grandmother's rebellion? I will fight for Britain's maritime interests?"

"Yes, even if Prussia goes to the sea, it is only to find a little way to survive under the protection of my grandmother's wings, this is my grandmother's love for me, this is definitely not some leftovers!"

Angry little William's eyes were red, he turned his head and ran to Queen Victoria's side, crying, tugging at his grandmother's shirt, "Woo woo...... Grandmother doesn't want me to drive me away, I don't want to go to the next room, eat leftovers! Didn't you say that when I grow up, you will give me a warship? You also said that you want to make me a British admiral, don't you want me?"

Even if Queen Victoria is a politician, don't forget that she also has a grandmother nicknamed the European royal family, and her children and descendants have almost monopolized the high aristocratic circle in Europe in the future, and his love for children is absolutely true love.

Especially little William, this is the son of the eldest princess, her first grandson, and she raised it single-handedly, nine-year-old William has spent more time in London than in Berlin, and the relationship between him and his grandmother even exceeds that of his grandfather.

In fact, in the 19th world, there are already soap operas in which the elderly compete for their grandchildren, and who will raise the grandchildren and grandparents? This problem is as unsolvable as who will save the daughter-in-law and the mother when they fall into the water.

Prince Karl married the eldest princess of the British royal family, and the British national power must be much stronger than Prussia, so the husband was a little sluggish at home, and the daughter-in-law's decision Karl did not dare to stop it, especially the issue of educating children.

The eldest princess wanted William Jr. to receive an education in London, so she brought William to England, where he grew up under his maternal grandmother's knees and had a good relationship with his cousin, who would later be George V.

It is worth mentioning that in the First World War, these two cousins also fought the fiercest, but this is a digression. At least now, 9-year-old William is definitely the treasure of the queen's heart in Buckingham Palace, who dares to give him grievances.

"Oh my little William, don't cry, how can grandmother let you eat leftovers?" Benjamin is just making an inaccurate analogy, which is unintentional and does not mean that Britain is really going to do something...... Okay, obediently, you will eat with your grandmother at lunch!"

"No...... I'm going to be an admiral, I'm going to be!"

"Okay, I promise you, when you're eighteen years old, I'll make you an admiral in the Royal Navy, okay......?
