As for the fact that the British were ready to start construction of 10 capital ships, which had become a foregone conclusion, Yochen had no way to solve it, so he could only watch, and the only thing he could do was to try his best to win the support of public opinion.

On the same day, the German diplomatic delegation in The Hague refused to participate in any subsequent negotiations on the grounds that the British were secretly frantically expanding their armed forces while instigating other countries to reduce their armaments, and that it was insincere to say one thing and do another, and threatened that if the British Government did not stop their crazy behavior, the German diplomatic delegation would formally withdraw from the international peace conference.

The British diplomatic delegation, which had been deceived by its own government's decision, was very embarrassed by this, and Foreign Secretary Gray knew that the meeting could not be discussed after learning that the parliament had approved the budget, and now he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

This was followed by an overwhelming propaganda in Germany about the "despicable and shameless" British, and the German newspapers began to smear the British with the utmost malice. Germany's vigorous propaganda has also influenced other countries, and the American media have also criticized the behavior of the British, criticizing them as "irrational" and "affecting international security."

Although France and Russia were somewhat dissatisfied, because they did not want to offend Britain, the media of the two countries only mentioned a few words without being salty. In such an environment, the British media was not ashamed, but proud, not only as a victory and hype, but also ridiculed the Germans for being red and jealous, and provoked the German Navy to say that it was not self-sufficient, and the Royal Navy's move was a powerful counterattack that slapped the Germans in the face.

Such a move is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, and the stimulated German people once again set off an anti-British wave, and this time the German government did not suppress it as it did on the previous occasions, and the old and new hatreds were counted together. Relations between Britain and Germany fell to a freezing point for a while, and the German people began to call on the Reichstag, like the British, to increase the naval budget in response to the British's shipbuilding program.

However, not everyone wanted the navy to increase military spending, whether it was the Imperial Congress, the Army General Staff, or the Prime Minister, they all stared at Charlottenburg Palace with some concern, for fear that the emperor who favored the navy, His Majesty, and the old guy Tirpitz would come up with some new naval bill.

However, to their surprise and to their relief, there was no order from the Charlottenburg Palace that worried them. Moreover, the Naval League uncharacteristically popularized to the public the possible financial problems that would come with the reckless build-up, and declared that the British were completely suicidal.

There is really no way to do it, Jochen and Tirpitz don't want to increase the navy's budget, but the reality is there, and the two can only choose to do what they can. The German navy did not respond in any way, and the construction plan was still carried out in a step-by-step manner, which made the British media even more rampant, and they saw it as a sign of German cowardice and failure, so they ridiculed it even more unscrupulously, not realizing that their actions were making the antagonism between the two countries even more uncontrollable. Or maybe they realize, but they don't care, or even that's what they want to see.

The noise and quarrels did not affect the passage of time, and although the chaotic situation made Jochen's mood very bad, the German Qiē continued to change step by step.

Army base in the southern suburbs of Frankfurt

"It's raining outside, and the weather forecast says that the rain is likely to get heavier, and there is a possibility that it will be accompanied by strong winds, so all the original training plans for today have been cancelled!" Major Schramm stood in front of the barracks door and shouted at his boys.

"Oh. My God! I hate the rain and I hate the cancellation of my training program! A young lieutenant shouted. And then with the support of a group of his colleagues, in the German army system, there is no need to train on a rainy day, which is simply an incredible thing, and there are still people who are dissatisfied with this?

"Shut up, Peterson. You know. Even if you complain, the order will not be changed, this is not the first time, why are you still so much nonsense? Schramm angrily shouted at the gang of heckling guys.

"Because being indoors and doing that stupid-looking workout is terrible." The young man named Peterson yelled slightly. And once again, his colleagues unanimously agreed with him.

Of course, these young officers did not really disobey Schramm's orders, but were just joking with their superiors. They knew when to stop, and then they would obediently obey as long as their boss gave them a few more reprimands, but this time they didn't hear Schramm's laughter and scolding.

"Okay, although I shouldn't have told you so early, but something new was delivered to the base last night, and if you are honest, I can take you to see it first." Major Schramm said mysteriously.

"Yes, sir!" Everyone immediately answered excitedly that young people are full of curiosity when they like new things.

"Now go change into your tracksuits, I'll give you 5 minutes, and then meet in Hangar 3!" Schramm ordered.

In the German Army, where the relationship between superiors and subordinates is clear and the atmosphere is strict, it is very rare to have a relationship between Major Schramm and his group of young men, but this is different, this is the Rhine-Main, the headquarters of the German Army Air Corps, and Schramm is the commander of the 3rd Squadron of the 2nd Flying Wing of the German Army Air Corps, with 31 young hairy boys, but these boys are not the crew of the airship.

They are the pilots of the first aircraft unit of the German Army, of course, for the sake of secrecy, all the wings of the aircraft of the German Army Air Corps are called flying wings, but the base number is the airship unit, and the even number is the aircraft unit, and now there are only 2 aircraft wings in the whole of Germany, each wing has 4 squadrons, and each squadron is composed of 4 4 aircraft formations.

At present, Germany does not have a bomber wing, and the existing two aircraft wings are not considered fighter wings, but are more used as reconnaissance aircraft units, but in order to deal with airships and enemy reconnaissance planes, these two-seater reconnaissance planes are equipped with an air-cooled Maxim machine gun as self-defense firepower.

As a pilot, this unit is full of young, courageous and curious bold young people who are eager to fly, and Yochen has been emphasizing that pilots are different from infantry, fighting in the sky requires courage and inspiration, therefore, the middle and senior officers of the unit are not old-fashioned, and the relationship between the superiors and subordinates in the flying wing is not as tense as that of the army combat units, while the junior officers are mostly young people with the same personality, and the relationship is more active.

"One-two-one-two......" In the spacious hangar, pilots in sportswear are doing what they think is stupid physical training according to this command, although there is an indoor training space in the base, but the hangar is still their most common place of activity.

They don't have to do any weight-bearing cross-country or log training like hard-working infantry, but in order to ensure their physical fitness, maintain their reminders, and exercise their physical coordination, a variety of training can still make this group of energetic young people feel miserable.

"Okay, let's get here first and rest for a while." As soon as Schramm finished speaking, a group of people immediately sat down on the ground and started chatting.

"Major, will there really be something new to deliver?" Peterson's ass had just hit the ground when he asked impatiently.

"That's right, I heard from His Excellency the Colonel in the morning, but I can't tell you what it is." Schramm smiled and sold off.

"Is it so mysterious, I guess it's some new engines? Didn't the batch of engines sent half a year ago also be mysterious at the beginning, saying that it was a secret, and in the end it was actually used like that? Peterson muttered.

"You know what, those engines are our country, no, it should be the most advanced engine in the world at the moment, the output of 170 horsepower is nearly 70% higher than the 110 horsepower engine we used before." One of the captains laughed and said, "It's no different to you?" All the good things in your hands are wasted. ”

"Captain, even if it's up 100%, won't we still have to do reconnaissance missions? Neither bomb fire nor a machine gun could be dropped. Peterson complained.

"Listen to your tone, do you want to go to the airship unit? Okay, if you send a transfer report, I agree to release him, and His Excellency the Colonel will definitely approve it. The captain said with a straight face.

"No, Captain, how could I want to go to the airship unit? How can that kind of slow hot air balloon compare to getting on a plane! If you drive me away, I won't leave! Peterson immediately curried a shy face at his immediate superior, his expression and tone of voice making all his colleagues laugh.

"Okay, Batra, it's not like you don't know this stinky boy, driving a reconnaissance plane is the same as fighting, the whole squadron, no, the whole squadron is the most troublesome in the maintenance of your aircraft engines, stinky boy, those engines are very delicate, even if you work for a lifetime, you probably can't afford to buy one. The mechanics have to work overtime every time you maintain your engine, and they probably don't like you kid for a long time. Schramm said with a straight face, but the smile in the corner of his eyes couldn't be explained.

"Major, is it a new engine? Horsepower up again? 200 horsepower? Peterson, who had been criticized, did not feel guilty at all, but continued to ask with a grin.

"If you want to say it's an engine, it's an engine, but it's not all engines, and you'll be surprised when you see it." Schramm said with a smile: "You know that some time ago, the No. 4 hangar that originally put spare planes and spare parts was sorted out, right? The new stuff is being put out there now, and we'll be there when the mechanics are going to test it, and we'll be there later. (To be continued......)
