"I know what you're thinking, you've unconsciously brought Britain and Germany into Russia and Japan, a continental country trying to expand its power at sea, the Russians, and the Germans. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info And a maritime country wants to project its influence on the mainland, the British are like this, and the Japanese are like this. So, you hope from the bottom of your bones that the Russians will win! In addition to continuing to let the Russians focus their energies on the Far East and share the pressure on Germany. Do you also want to prove that your theory is correct and that Germany's future is promising? Is that so? I'm afraid you've heard what I said to Moltke, right? And you came all the way to Bavaria to tell me that I was wrong, right? Is that so? There was already some acerbity in Prince Ruprecht's words.

"I don't mean to offend you, I'm just going to take matters into account." Tirpitz stepped back, a little afraid of the prince in front of him.

"Well, I can tell you responsibly that this time the Russians are doomed, both by sea and on land! At sea, they will face complete defeat, and on land, they must also retreat! If you don't believe me, I can make a bet with you. As for the bets? What are the plans and directions for the future construction of the Navy? The prince said.

"You must be joking, right?" Tirpitz said with some trepidation, he couldn't figure out whether the prince was serious or joking, or both.

"It's boring, it's not responsible at all." There was a hint of disdain in the prince's eyes. "I can tell you responsibly, of course, you can also tell the Kaiser what I said today. What I have said is still reserved, and I can only say that Germany as a whole is overconfident in itself! And we don't have much time, after the end of the Russian-Japanese war, the next big war will break out in Europe, a big war that will decide the fate of the world. The loser will fall into the abyss! ”

"And judging by the current situation, I don't think you will do a better job than me, Moltke has admitted it, so what about you now? Tirpitz? Are you willing to make this bet with me? The prince said in a fierce voice.

"There's something ...... you said." A drop of cold sweat ran down Tirpitz's forehead, and if it was not Prince Ruprecht who sat opposite, but someone else, even Prince Heinrich, he would dare to jump up and refute it. But he didn't dare to face this prince alone, not only because he was the heir to the second largest kingdom of the German Empire, but also because he was both far-sighted! History has proven time and time again the truth of what the prince said! Tirpitz, who had been full of confidence, was a little shaken.

"Well, I don't like to engage in verbal battles with people, because it's a waste of time and there's no point in doing it. What's more, it's useless to have these boring arguments with you, you can't give me what I want. The prince said, waving his hand. I'm going to write a letter to-morday, and I'll take it to the Kaiser, and it's very simple, I'll tell him to guess, to guess what the Japanese will do to defeat Russia, and what some key battles will be. It's a game, but on a larger scale, and I'll ask the Kaiser for the prize for this victory! ”

"I really didn't expect things to be like this. Everything that is tied to this prince is so unreasonable! Tirpitz didn't expect these things to happen in Bavaria. Tirpitz admits that he did bring both sides of the Russo-Japanese War into Britain and Germany, and that he did want to prove that Germany, as a continental country, had the need and ability to go to the sea at this point in time. It is even tempted to argue that a powerful continental country, when it has a fleet, has a huge strategic advantage over a maritime country, but now it ....... ”

"Forget it, don't say more, let's be an honest messenger." Tirpitz said with some discouragement. The prince's handwritten letter must be sent by him! Tirpitz felt that he had been in a bad year lately, first because of the recent British espionage case, and then because he lost the battle with Moltke Jr. for military spending, and the Kaiser had made it clear that the original naval expansion plan had to be revised, and at least one capital ship would be cut to free up military spending to improve army equipment. And now, when I came to Bavaria, I was scolded again....... Running thousands of miles by yourself to find scolding?

"Ruprecht, are you really that optimistic about Japan?" Tirpitz was scolded, and then he flashed into disgrace. But there are many people who have similar thoughts to Tirpitz, such as his wife, Her Royal Highness Mary **** Princess.

"A decaying and dying country, though it is huge, has to confront a new country thousands of miles away in the face of an unfavorable international situation. What an unwise thing to do. The whole world wants the Russians to lose. This is true of the British, and it is also true of the French. We are in it for money, and the Americans are here to make Russia cannon fodder. You tell me, how can Russia win? The prince asked rhetorically. Moreover, the Kaiser also hoped to use this war to drain the strength of the Russians. It is true that we are spectators of this war, but we still need to do something! According to my plan, within 8 years after the end of this war, we will have to make a break with all our opponents! Otherwise, we don't have a chance! ”

"Honey, are you serious?" Princess Mary said with some surprise.

"When have I ever joked about these things?" The prince asked rhetorically. "I think 8 years is a bit too long, I want to compress the time of the outbreak of the war to less than 6 years, this point in time is when we are the strongest, and the opponent is the weakest, if we give the Russians enough time, the gap between us and them will be smaller and smaller! And after the alliance between Britain and France, the cooperation between them will become smoother and smoother. So we have to seize this opportunity, and that's why I'm asking the Kaiser for power! ”

"Actually, I'm more worried about Austria-Hungary than about Germany, and to be honest, Austria-Hungary is really not a good ally. Until now, they were still ignorant of the coming of war, and they fantasized about relying on the German Empire to solve all problems, but they did not know that they could not see their own strength clearly, and it was the worst to hand over their national fortunes to other countries! "The prince was a little angry at the thought of the recent cooperation with the Austrian emperor, the inaction of Hungary and the inefficiency of Austria made the prince look at it in his eyes and be anxious in his heart!

"That's why the country needs to change. A whole new nation will be reborn from the ashes. Princess Mary was not dissatisfied, because as an Austro-Hungarian princess, she knew better than the prince what the Austro-Hungarian Empire was like, and the result was certain, and what he really cared about was what kind of country she and her husband would have in the future.
