The night breeze is inspiring, the waves are roaring, and the waves are constantly crashing on the crimson cliffs and reefs, stirring up a silvery white mist in the sky. The Milvik Military Academy on the cliff is lit up, peaceful and quiet, and under the light of the bright moon in the sky, it seems to flow with a silvery white faint halo.

In front of a window seat in the school library, Fang Yan held an account slip issued by the Deutsche Central Bank, and his handsome and elegant face was full of joyful smiles; This is the remittance account provided by the Gounayar publishing house, and the funds on it have been refreshed with the infusion of new remittances as November passes. In the six months since its publication, nearly 400,000 copies of Fang Yan's book on the rise and fall of the High Seas Fleet have been sold, and even after paying personal taxes to the government, the amount of money now retained in his account has reached 2 million marks. This made him surpass such literary giants as Thomas Mann and Hermann Hesse as one of the most fashionable writers in Germany today. Although Fang Yan's cheap father Rudolph has mastered dozens of times the huge assets, and his uncle Walter, who sneaked into the tiger's den in North America alone, can also transfer no less than this amount of US dollars to his family every month, because Fang Yan himself has not embarked on the business path of inheriting the family business, and most of the family's wealth does not belong to him in name, this rich income still makes the young man happy. Compared with the battleship design patent fee that had to be given to the old Ciano every time, this fund was the income that really belonged to Fang Yan alone, and this feeling of self-control was completely different from asking Rudolph for help.

"Now the funds for the development of long-range multi-engine aircraft have been settled." Fang Yanmei put the account slip into the purse of her underwear and whispered in a voice that she could only hear. Since this project does not seem to have much commercial potential at present, if Fang Yan wants to put it into practice, he will not get a lot of sponsorship from Rudolph, and he must be prepared to blet first. However, Fang Yan is full of confidence in the future development prospects of this project; Not to mention the inevitable rise of air passenger transport after the aircraft entered the all-metal age, the aircraft that Germany will order to rearm alone is enough to get back all the current investment.

Fang Yan, who was in a good mood, opened a copy of today's newspaper as usual, in order to get the latest information at home and abroad; Soon, he found enough check-ins on the second page to catch his attention. On October 29, Congress voted 301 to 54 to approve the budget for the construction of an additional new cruiser, bringing the number of new cruisers to four this year; Vice Admiral Raeder attended the groundbreaking ceremony at the Wilhelm shipyard today, 2 November, and delivered an impassioned speech after laying down the keel. "The honor of the High Seas Fleet of yesteryear has been restored, and the dream of the German Navy today has been created." "We are committed to pursuing our legitimate maritime rights and interests, and there is no reason for any country to arbitrarily interfere in them."

Seeing the budget for the construction of the fourth ship, which did not originally exist in the historical plane, and Raeder's almost unscrupulous tough statement, Fang Yan was more than 80% sure that this was the request made to the government by the navy and right-wing forces that took advantage of the situation after his book caused a strong reversal in Germany. In this kind of agitation and guidance of civil and political forces to put pressure on the government with money bags, Raeder's sophistication is almost in the same vein as Tirpitz of the past; Faced with a noisy and agitated crowd of MPs, the government cabinet had no choice but to compromise. In fact, this is one of the important reasons why Raeder was able to finally become the commander-in-chief of the navy; Only when sufficient funds are obtained from the government can the work be carried out later.

When Rao was writing this book of the Apocalypse of Rise and Fall, one of the important intentions of Rao was to reshape the maritime enthusiasm of the German people, but when he really saw that the naval allocation had increased compared to the historical plane, there was still an uncontrollable excitement in his heart. This kind of influence and transformation of the people's ideology is, to a certain extent, the most subtle and silent and at the same time the most effective means of strengthening the army; Only when the people of a country always aspire to and support the army, can this force relying on the strength of the country get the indispensable talents and funds for its survival and growth, which is much better than designing an invincible warship!

Because of its inaction during the World War, the formation of the Red Fortress in the overthrow of the Kaiser's autocracy, and its inglorious role in the Karp coup d'état in the early years of the Weimar Republic, the German Navy was saddled with the notoriety of cowardice, the cradle of traitors in November, and the sinners of subversion of the government for a long time after the war. This embarrassing position of being in front of the forces and people on both the left and right sides of the country has undoubtedly greatly hindered the reconstruction of the German Navy: no one wants to continue to invest money in the Navy, a white-eyed wolf who only eats and does not work hard, and may even bite his master at a critical moment, not to mention that its significance to Germany has also been greatly questioned because of the experience of Britain and Germany turning against each other and causing Germany to fall into today's tragic catastrophe. And now, the significance of the existence of a powerful German Navy has been completely demonstrated by Fang Yan in front of the Chinese people, which is undoubtedly a great boost to the future development of the German Navy!

"I heard from the publishers that they were preparing to sell the translation rights of the book to foreign companies, and I was looking forward to the blue faces of the British people after reading the book." Fang Yan suddenly thought of this, and said with a little more sneer and ridicule in his expression. Almost every sentence he wrote in this book is a fierce hammer against the old Saxon robber who is incorruptible and shameful, and reverses black and white, revealing all the darkness and ugliness that the other party wants to hide most in broad daylight. Although Germany is still far from being a match for Britain, there is no problem with such rhetorical provocations in the name of individuals.

What Fang Yan didn't expect was that he was acting more out of will, but he unintentionally planted a flourishing shade among the willows.

The moon shines brightly, the stars shine like water, and the River Thames flows quietly from the heart of London, reflecting the core of the once sunset empire like a fantasy.

After eight years of licking and recovering from the wounds of the war, the wounds inflicted on the country by the former world war seem to have been completely erased; As far as the eye can see, the whole city is brightly lit and glittering, with tall and beautiful buildings, shining neon lights, busy streets, and noisy sounds...... All this makes anyone who visits here can't help but give the highest praise to its prosperity. However, anyone who has a slight understanding of the current world situation can see that this outwardly powerful country is implicit in a serious and chronic disease that cannot be reversed like a long river pouring into the sea and the sun setting in the west.

After the end of the world war, Britain's hegemony accumulated over the past two centuries was completely turned into a cloud after four years of brutal and bloody war. The United States, on the other side of the ocean, kicked Britain out of the position of world hegemon with an unstoppable spirit, and it was only then that the gentlemen of London sadly found themselves degenerated into a scrawny hyena, unable to compete with the vigorous young lion of the United States. The total industrial volume of the United States is 5 times that of Britain, the gross national income is 4 times that of Britain, and the center of the world has long been quietly transferred from Britain to North America.

Even in the pre-war maritime area, which was the most sensitive area for Britain, Britain held a grand funeral for its maritime supremacy in the Washington Naval Treaty signed in 1922: the standards of the two great powers of the past were completely shattered, and the United States gained a transcendent status on a complete equal footing with Britain. And 10 years ago, Germany just wanted 60% of the tonnage of Britain's capital ships, which was regarded by Britain as a "provocation" that was "extremely arrogant". What's worse is that the "first" position of the British Navy is also completely rootless duckweed, and as long as the Americans are willing, they can surpass Britain at any time to become the new sea master!

In the face of the strong rise of the Saxon cousin of the United States, the British Empire, which used to be powerful, is now like a poor donkey; The Bolsheviks from Eastern Europe and the Western European countries also exhausted the former capitalist leader. The days of London are completely gone, and its influence on the European countries has also greatly declined, and the will of London, which was once enshrined as a divine decree, can now be selectively ignored by the European countries. Whether it was France's march into the Ruhr or Germany's request for economic aid from the United States, Britain, which had been crucial in the continental game, was left out and given no decisive attention. The bright sun, which has shone over Britain for more than three centuries, is now dim and rumbling, and even though the owner of Downing Street is unwilling and resentful, who can change this trend by himself?

Under these circumstances, post-war Britain could only slap its swollen face and become fat, and while trying their best to cover up their already weak and declining nature as a second-rate country, they carried out missionary brainwashing to the countries of the world, and used the tragedy of Kaiser Wilhelm II to "earnestly teach" the rising industrial countries not to fight Poseidon's crooked brains again, so as not to bring great disaster to themselves. Originally, this lie was made up seamlessly, but with the translation of Fang Yan's book, the British government leaders found that their fig leaf had been completely torn down.
