Kevin's stubbornness is actually just a common problem among scholars, and since they are already at the top of the pyramid in their profession, they are only those who focus on their field and immerse themselves in it.

They don't have time to focus on other 'chores', otherwise all kinds of top-notch research will not come out at all.

Not having time to pay attention doesn't mean they don't understand, as long as you explain the truth, their understanding is actually far deeper than the average person.

There is no need for Xiang Ying to tell too much about the historical events that have happened, all he has to do is to string the names of those events together.

Why did Russia fight the Crimean War, and what kind of hatred did it have with the Ottoman Empire? In fact, in the final analysis, it was the maritime interests that were at work, and Russia's northern seaports were all in the frozen cold zone, and the number of months of the year that could be used was limited.

As for St. Petersburg, its geographical location is not as good as that of Hamburg, which is hidden in the Gulf of Finland in the depths of the Baltic Sea, and there is no need for Britain to blockade it, as long as Britain has good relations with Sweden and Finland, it can keep a close eye on the Russian navy.

I am afraid that by then, the Russian Navy has not even left the Danish Strait, and the Royal Navy has already blocked the waters of Oslo and Gothenburg.

The desire for warm water ports in the hearts of the Russians has reached the point of perversion, and the Crimea region of the Black Sea is actually not a good choice, and the Ottoman Empire controls the Bosbrus Strait, blocking the main route of the Black Sea Navy into the Mediterranean.

Britain, France, Italy, and even Spain and Portugal could easily send their navies to block the Aegean Sea, and the Russians really had no choice.

Without the support of maritime trade, a country would not have a raw material base and a dumping base for industrial products, which are the basis for supporting a country's continued industrialization.

The situation in Prussia is similar to that of Russia, it seems that Hamburg and other ports have direct access to the North Sea, which is much more convenient than Russia, but it is still under the control of the British Royal Navy.

The Prussian royal family and the British royal family have been in-laws for hundreds of years, and the relationship between cousins is actually very close, and even Prince Karl's son is now educated by Queen Victoria, that is, his maternal grandmother, what a close relationship.

But how did Britain deal with Prussia? As soon as it was discovered that Prussia might challenge Britain's overseas interests, the mother-in-law immediately turned against her son-in-law, and the Prussian warships were blocked in the Strait of Dover by Britain and France.

Britain's strategy has been very clear, I will not stop you from Prussia to unify Germany, and even support you in a war with France, but don't expect to rob Britain of its maritime interests, whoever robs it will turn against whom, and even your own daughter and son-in-law will not work!

Xiang Yingyue said that Kevin's face became more and more ugly, and finally Kevin directly went to the killer "The Strait of Dover incident has completely exposed the British national strategy, and they are afraid that the Prussians will become the kings of Spain, because they will inherit many Spanish colonies overseas......"

"And what should the Prussian nation do after reunification? Have you ever thought about it, Mr. Kevin, that such a large economy and so many technologies need to be studied, and that it will be possible without relying on overseas trade? and Britain will see Prussia strong?"

"I'm going to put it here today, if we don't kill that British ship before and let the information be transmitted to the British mainland, I can tell you clearly, the whole world will hunt us down, British shipbuilders are not stupid, they can guess our combat effectiveness from the caliber and arrangement of a main gun......"

"Wake up, my professor, we will be able to get out alive when we hide our bodies as a ghost ship in the Atlantic, but when the British also get the exact news, there is no chance of us escaping......"

Kevin pointed to a point on the map and said indifferently, "There are some things that are highly confidential, and although you are the chief designer, you have no right to know...... Just upstream of the Volken shipyard, in fact, the Prime Minister of Bismarck had secretly built a dry dock......"

"The Zhiyuan is not unique, where is there an identical warship waiting for the Prussian Navy to be commissioned, now you know how big the Prime Minister's plan is, right? Now you still want to say that you Prussia have no sense of sea power?"

Kevin was struck by lightning after hearing this, how high the cost of the Zhiyuan was, he knew very well in his heart that when Prussia was preparing for war, every Finney had to be used on the blade, and now the prime minister actually spent a lot of money to build a warship with the same as the Zhiyuan, so Prussia's future strategy is about to come out.

"Oh my God! how can this be...... Why is this happening!" all of Kevin's insistence was completely shattered at this moment.

What Kevin needed now was time to gather his thoughts, and the shattered persistence was always replaced by a new one, and everyone watched Kevin return to the cabin, and the officers and men began various drills of artillery firing.

Main guns, rapid-fire guns, close-range heavy machine guns, torpedo launchers...... Aside from the fact that real ammo is not added, all passwords and actions are exactly the same as in wartime.

The Cape Verde archipelago is close to the equator, and the weather in June is unbearably hot, with the Atlantic breeze blowing like the heat of a steamer.

The soldiers were bare-chested, training under the hot sun, and after a while, the kung fu was covered with a layer of salt and alkali, but no one shouted that they were tired, sweating more in peacetime and bleeding less in wartime That was the prime minister's golden words, and in the hearts of these young men, the prime minister's words were far more powerful than the holy decree.

The sun sank in the west, and the wind on the sea gradually had a hint of coolness, just when Jin Sanshun ran to the deck to report to everyone what tonight's dinner was, suddenly a firework rose into the sky five nautical miles to the west, and then exploded in the sky with a bang.

"Prepare for war...... Preparing for ...... Discover the enemy's situation! Boiler pressurization and speed up ...... Moving forward at full speed towards the west......" Under Xiang Ying's order, the Zhiyuan was jubilant with excitement, and everyone performed their duties and ran quickly to their posts.

Jin Sanshun patted his thigh excitedly, "Add food, add food after tonight's victory...... Potatoes and roast beef, hamburger beer, fuck it! I'm going to give you a celebration party......"

At this time, the cabin door suddenly opened, and the deputy captain Kevin walked out with a gloomy face, "You are the chief of internal affairs, your post is in the cabin, don't run around in wartime...... Look at your hustle and bustle, it seems that this place really can't do without me!"

Jin Sanshun saluted, "Yes, I respectfully follow the order of the deputy captain...... Good command, I secretly left you a bottle of good wine, you have a good mouth tonight......"

Looking at Jin Sanshun with a hippie smile, Kevin couldn't hold back any longer, "Fuck off, stinky boy! I admit that you are right......, can't you? I listen to you, since you want to fight, then fight to the end!"

The Zhiyuan suddenly became jubilant: "Fight to the end!
