Meet Feng. Before Tirpitz, Li Ming had seen the biggest man in the navy in this era。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Feng. Brigadier General Lorentz, these two are clearly not on the same level.

It's inevitable to be nervous when you want to see a big person, but Li Ming at least doesn't have to worry about his dress.

Dressed in a well-ironed lieutenant uniform, a pair of spotlessly polished leather boots, and wearing all his medals, he followed Raeder on the road.

The two traveled by train through most of Germany and finally arrived in the city of Brandenburg, not far from the city of Berlin.

As soon as they got off the train, a horse-drawn carriage drove them directly to Tirpitz's estate on the outskirts of Brandenburg.

When he arrived at the manor, Zhang Hainuo was deeply attracted by the autumn scenery here: the mountains and trees are surrounded by a pool of blue and transparent lake like jewels, and the trees all over the mountains are still mainly green, among which there are clusters of red and yellow; Under the sun, everything here is so harmonious and quiet, only the sound of horses' hooves and the chirping of birds in the mountains and forests are in your ears.

Feng. Tirpitz's manor is located in such a scenic place, the size of the manor looks huge, and the gate opens to a large manicured lawn, and the main building here is a three-story castle-like building, but there are no spires and towers.

"I should call him esteemed von. Marshal Tirpitz or the honorable von Tirpitz. Count Tirpitz? ”

Li Ming asked Raeder in a whisper, because Tirpitz was both a German naval marshal and a count given by Wilhelm II.

"Either way, you can follow me and call him the honorable marshal, after all, we are now in the military!"

It seemed that this was the first time that Raeder had been here, and he was equally curious to look out the window.

The carriage stopped at the door of the large villa, and the two men were led in by an attendant as soon as they got out of the carriage.

The layout of the hall looks very classical, and the large oil paintings on the walls seem to depict certain historical events, but Zhang Hainuo can only glance at them in a hurry.

The group quickly made their way through the hall into a long hallway, and when they reached the end of the hallway, the squire finally stopped and tapped lightly on the door.

"Earl, here they are!"

The squire informed in a deferential tone.

"Let them in!"

Li Ming heard a deep but not old voice coming from inside.

The attendant then made a gesture to Raeder and Li Ming to invite them in.

Before entering the door, both Raeder and Li Ming took off their military hats.

As soon as he entered the door, a strong smell of books came to his nose, and to Li Ming's surprise, this place did not look like an ordinary reception room or study room at all, but more like a certain storage room in the library!

The walls were almost entirely filled with bookshelves, and an old man with two strange beards was sitting behind a desk full of books.

"Honorable Marshal, Rear Admiral Erich. Eder salutes you! ”

Li Ming hurriedly followed and said, "Honorable Marshal, Lieutenant Haino. Feng. Finkensch salutes you! ”

The bearded old man put down the book in his hand and stood up, and Li Ming saw that he was wearing a set of German naval marshal's uniform with a somewhat old cloth color, and a huge medal on his chest.

"Oh, Erich, here you are! This is the von you mentioned to me. Lieutenant Finkenschin? Well, that's good, please take a seat! ”

Although there are many books in Li Mingxian's room, they are by no means in such a way as to hinder people from walking in it.

After thanking him, he followed Raeder to the chair across from the desk.

Tirpitz also sat back down.

At this time, another attendant walked in and whispered to ask the two if they needed coffee or tea, Raeder asked for coffee, and Zhang Hainuo asked for tea.

"I've read your proposals, and they're full of novelties, which are very bold and imaginative!"

Tirpitz went straight to the point as soon as he came up, which was clearly to the liking of the two young men.

Raeder looked at Tirpitz respectfully, but didn't speak.

"I feel compelled to pass on this plan to His Majesty's Officers, and perhaps they will approve of it and present it to His Majesty, or perhaps they will throw it in the garbage as waste paper. Ahem, with all due respect, the latter is more likely in the current situation! ”

I could hear that there was a kind of helplessness in Tirpitz's words.

If Zhang Hainuo had carefully studied the historical records of Tirpitz before, he would have known that Tirpitz had lost the favor of Wilhelm II by this time, and had been ostracized and neglected at the top of the navy.

In fact, he had been in retirement since he resigned as Lord of the Navy in March 1916.

Tirpitz's words made Zhang Hainuo's originally hot heart cool again, why did the father of the German navy have the same tone as his "cousin"

Is it so similar that the real power of the Kaiser and the top brass of the Navy resisted the use of the Navy to fight?

Looking at the two juniors holding the cups in front of him without saying a word, Tirpitz spoke again: "No matter whether the result is good or bad, I will give it a try!" But you two, I saw from you the vigorous vitality of the German Navy, and saw the hope of our Viet British Navy! Only by daring to innovate and accept new things can we continue to improve, just like this plan, I see everything a good naval commander must have! ”

In the face of Tirpitz's gaze, Zhang Hainuo didn't dare to look at it too much, but he still saw a kind of love in those eyes that had gone through vicissitudes, which was a love for his career and a kind of love for talents.

"Listen to my advice!"

Next, Tirpitz said meaningfully: "Your talents should not be limited by that warship that cannot leave the port, go out, you will get more!" ”

Going out?

Li Ming was a little unsure in his heart, so did Tirpitz mean to let himself leave the Seydlitz?

"Thank you for your advice, we'll take it seriously!"

Raeder replied with a sophisticated and deserved tone.

"That's good! As for the proposal, it is already very complete in itself, and I have nothing to add! Tomorrow I will ask someone to forward it to the Admiralty for evaluation, and I will ask you two to stay here for a few days, first, I want to talk to you more, and second, if this plan can really be appreciated by Your Majesty, I will arrange for you to go to your Majesty! ”

"Thank you so much!"

Raeder hurriedly got up and thanked him.

Tirpitz motioned for him to sit down and said, "Erich, I don't need to say thank you here!" That's right, Feng. Lieutenant Finkenschine, I heard that you are Albresit. Conrad. Fink. Feng. Descendants of Marshal Finkenschin? ”

Li Ming stood up and replied, "Yes, honorable marshal! ”

"Oh, you don't have to stand up to talk to me here!"

Tirpitz likewise motioned for him to sit down.

"Feng. Marshal Finkenschin was also a very good general in the history of the Kingdom of Prussia, and it seems that his descendants were equally outstanding! Tell me, von. Lieutenant Finkenschine, how did you come up with the idea of using submarines, airplanes and airships as the main force of attack, and not the battleships and battlecruisers that are now being actively built by all countries? ”

Li Ming looked at Tirpitz, trying not to avoid his gaze.

"Such, honorable marshal! Battleships and battlecruisers are indeed the most powerful and well-defended of all naval weapons, and it is better to use them to threaten the enemy's coast and shell the enemy's ports! But judging by the current situation in Germany, it will be difficult to build more battleships and battlecruisers than the British in a short time, which means that we will always be at a disadvantage in the short term in terms of these capital ships! ”

Seeing Tirpitz slightly ** his head, Zhang Hainuo's heart was much more calm, and he continued: "I think that after every change in the navy in history, the old warships in the past will quickly lose their effectiveness, so I think that in order to change the situation of our maritime power being at a disadvantage in a short period of time, we must use new equipment and new tactics to offset the British superiority in ships and tonnage!" Leaving aside the capital ships of the two countries for the time being, our German submarines, planes, and airships are not only not weaker than the British, but also have considerable advantages in some aspects! Therefore, I feel that with proper tactics, equipment, and command, it is entirely possible to defeat the British Navy with its current strength! ”

Tirpitz lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and when he raised his head again, the look in Li Ming's eyes seemed to be very complicated.

"If only you had appeared in front of me three years ago and said that!"

"Three years ago? I didn't know anything then! ”

Li Ming replied with a smile.

General, your combat record, combat experience, and the journey operation of the navy are quite rich! Young people, as long as you study hard and experience in naval battles, I believe that in a few years you will be the German Navy, not the leader of the European Navy, the German Navy will take you as an example, you can also bring advanced European naval technology back to Asia, and even let your naval units accept advanced European naval technology, so that the combat effectiveness will be greatly improved, and the combat effectiveness of this navy on the battlefield will also create brilliant achievements in the ocean of history。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

The navy of the British Empire once said that its navy was strong in Europe and even in the world, and he had no opponent in the sea, and he even threatened the world to make this naval force an invincible armada, and if the Elizabeth met her, it would mean that the British Elizabeth would go to the stage of destruction, which would be a fatal blow to it。。。。。。。。。。。

What the general said is that I will study hard to build an invincible ghost fleet that has been sweeping across Europe as soon as possible。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
