"How dare you come?" When Parikin saw Prince Ruprecht again, the playful look in the latter's eyes made the Russian minister in Bavaria feel the creed quicken, but fortunately, this time he was not the protagonist, the protagonist was Russian Foreign Minister Lobanov. When the prime minister said that he would contact the Bavarian side, and at the same time said that he and even the German Central Committee had said that this matter would not be counted, the Russian foreign minister knew that he could not hide this time, and even if he was unwilling, he had to go to Munich! And he was accompanied by Makanov.

"Robanov?" At this time, Prince Ruprecht did not have the slightest respect for the Russian Tsar's envoy and the Russian Foreign Minister. Both the status and the situation of the negotiations allowed Prince Ruprecht to treat his opponents so arrogantly. "Can you tell me how much money you took from the French to sell the relationship between the two countries and the interests of Russia?"

"This matter was brought up by Chancellor of the Exchequer Witte, and His Majesty the Tsar and I were deceived by him." As a diplomat, the first quality to have is to have a thick enough skin. You must not hesitate to shake the pot at the critical moment, anyway, Werther is not here, even if he knows it in the future, he can't do anything about himself.

"Good, good, good. I already know what you are asking for. So I would now like to ask, at what cost does Russia intend to pay to heal the damage to Bavaria's economy and dignity? ”

"I know what you're trying to say. You want to say that it is just two warships, and even if Japan gets it, then the Japanese Navy will only have 4 10,000-ton warships. There is no threat to Russia at all? Is that so? His Royal Highness the Prince asked rhetorically.

"You must think so. And I believe that this set of rhetoric can deal with the vast majority of people, but unfortunately, you are facing me! Don't look at a vice admiral sitting next to you. The lieutenant general also had combat experience, but that was almost 20 years ago. I think I have a better understanding and use of the Navy than this vice admiral, can you believe it? ”

"Of course, you may not believe it, but I don't mind making things clearer so that you can better understand the current situation." Ruprecht gestured to Tirpitz next to him. The latter himself pulled down a curtain, and then the huge nautical chart hanging on the wall revealed its full picture.

"Let's start by figuring out one problem. That's why the Japanese had to buy battleships at this time. Is it simply cheap? I don't think so. If you take into account the financial aspect, they buy British warships, and the British government will definitely provide a large loan. More cost-effective economically. Why did you buy a boat from us at this time? I just gave you a copy of the memorandum submitted by the Japanese government, does anyone know why? That's right, 1000 marks, I'll give it now. Ruprecht said proudly.

"Because of the performance of the battleship? Of course, I still think that the price factor is the main one. "Lobanov is a career diplomat who doesn't know anything about the Navy, but now that the question is raised, he can't answer it. looked at Parikin, who was also a little stunned next to him, and Makanov, who was silent on the side. The Russian representative could only bite the bullet.

"I didn't expect you to get it right!" Ruprecht said contemptuously. "Makanov, what about your opinion? I hope that the best Russian admirals will be able to answer this question. Otherwise, the professionalism of the Russian Navy is really worrying! I've cheated on you, you still can't think of it? ”

When the attention of the group was once again focused on Makanov, who was sitting in his right hand, everyone was surprised to find that the Russian vice admiral's head was covered with beads of sweat, and his face was extremely distorted, as if he had been frightened by something. Or maybe something unthinkable. Makanov's hands trembled a little, and he kept staring at the last page of the memo over and over again. At the same time, glance at the map from time to time.

"You. You're saying that it's possible for the Japanese to get their hands dirty?! After Makanov squeezed a few words out of his teeth, the whole room fell into a terrible silence, and this inference was simply terrible! It's incredible, if the person who said this was not Makanov, then all of them thought it was a madman!

"Clever! You're smart! To praise you for your cleverness. The 1000 marks are yours. Prince Ruprecht generously pushed the check in front of Makanov.

"I said you'd regret it, but alas, none of you believed it. By now, I guess there are no more than a handful of people in Russia who can figure out this matter, and that's if I give you a hint. His Royal Highness the Prince said quite arrogantly.

"Robanov. Believe it or not, if what I say today reaches the ears of Nicholas II, you have an eighty percent chance of going to prison? By the way, I may bring you with me, Mr. Parikin, of course, this is not because you are at fault, but because you are a person who has direct contact with this matter, Nicholas II will not carry this black cauldron, and a simple foreign minister is not enough, so I can only blame you for being unlucky! His Royal Highness's face became even more smug.

"Your Royal Highness, you say this a bit too much, right?" Ruprecht's arrogance seemed excessive, even to Tirpitz, like a teacher reprimanding an unsuccessful disciple. This is not something that should be on the table. Even if it is an advantage, it should not be.

"Tirpitz, I'm disappointed in you, I didn't expect you to see it. I have some doubts about your abilities. You saw this memo three days ago, and you still haven't figured it out? His Royal Highness the Prince did not give this old friend any face.

"Of course, Makanov, your level is limited, and in general, I don't think you are as smart as the top leaders of the Japanese government. Lack of strategic vision, lack of ability to seize the moment. If I'm not mistaken. You were able to come to this conclusion because you saw the text at the end of the memorandum asking for the delivery of the battleship in September 1897, right? ”

"You look very closely. But the ability to analyze the problem is very limited, and you only see the appearance. And not looking at the essence through the surface! Your inference is simple, Japan is demanding such a tight delivery time, even at the expense of a price increase, then there must be a purpose! As a weapon, when is the most important, it is naturally the time to prepare for war! Well, well, a simple logical chain has been formed, and if Japan wants to buy the record in such a hurry, then it must mean that there must be action. And in the Far East, to whom will Japan act? This goal is self-evident. So did you guess that it turned out to be like this? ”
