Chapter 131: The Night Banquet VII

After telling William his overall idea of the youth party, William's first reaction was that he was going to send out an invitation to this party overnight, and he couldn't wait to hold it tomorrow, and he was going to do it for a week.

Joey shook his head helplessly, and hurriedly stopped the fanatical William, it seems that his eldest brother is still the same as in history, impatient and impatient.

After patiently explaining to William that his ideas were still being conceived and that everything would take time to realize his ideas, William in front of Joey was still anxious. Feeling a little strange, Joey looked at William and asked, "Willy, are you hiding something from me?" ”

After hesitating, William touched his trademark horn mustache and whispered, "Jojo, that damn gray animal sent someone to the palace today, saying that he wanted to come to visit." Jojo, this bastard is chasing too close! ”

"Oh, you're impatient about this?!" Joey asked with a calm face.

"Qiaoqiao, isn't this serious? I'm dying, I hate that bastard's hot pursuit! "William was emotional.

"Hey, Willy, now that Cousin Ella is by your side, not by Sergei's side, if you want to be in a hurry, he should be in a hurry, okay!" Joey tried to calm William's emotions first, "I said, Willie, you should take Ella, take advantage of the good summer weather, go shopping, go to museums, play polo, go on outings, go horseback riding, and use all kinds of ways to enhance the relationship between you." ”

"But he wants to come to visit, which is a serious provocation to me!" William still said with some puff.

"Listen to me, William, and you're going to use your sweetness and Cousin Ella's to fight back at that grey animal!" Joey continued to reassure.

"He always sends people to the door, what should I do?" William was still a little reluctant.

"Then tell him that the Imperial Palace will not have time for the time being in the near future, and that a dinner party worthy of the status of Grand Duke Sergei will be held after a while, and he will be invited to come when the time comes. William, I'll say it again, it's Sergei who is in a hurry now, and you just need to stay with Cousin Ella, and wait for me to make preparations, and then hit back at this Russian, how about it? ”

The excited William thought for a long time, and finally nodded reluctantly.

This is the reason why the palace is busy in the hot summer days these days, and everyone up and down is carefully preparing a night banquet for the coming Russians.

One of the busiest in this hustle and bustle is Joey, who, while completing his studies and additional training, has to constantly go back and forth between Professor Linde, the University of Berlin, Siemens, OXO, the Jommer Brothers, the Stockch Circus, etc., and on the other hand, he has to turn his ideas into reality through Sir Stokema, the great butler of the womb.

In Joey's busyness, Professor Linde was the first to benefit. As Stolling's godfather, Professor Lind was familiar with Sir Gruson's family, so he had heard of Joey for a long time. Professor Lind's purpose in coming to Berlin was to make acquaintances with people in the business community through Sir Gruson's connections and to find investment for his inventions.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the hotel in Berlin, I met the long-awaited attendant of the palace at the front desk of the hotel and invited me to stay in the palace. Before Professor Linde could come to his senses, the attendants of the Imperial Palace had already retired from their rooms in the hotel, and then they were surrounded by the enthusiastic attendants of the Imperial Palace, and went straight to the Imperial Palace with many samples of their own achievements that had not yet had time to be unloaded from the carriage.

After an introduction to the Imperial Palace, Professor Lind found that he was waiting for not only the little master of the Imperial Palace, Joey, and his godson Stoling, but also a large number of big figures in Berlin's scientific and economic circles.

In the afternoon, before he had time to think about anything superfluous, Professor Linde was surrounded by a large crowd and began to present his research results. After passing a series of chemical tests, such as lime water to test carbon dioxide, charcoal with sparks to test oxygen, etc., everyone was overcome by the gas in the cylinder brought by Professor Linde, and finally believed that someone had really separated the various components in the air.

In the subsequent display of the steam chiller, Joey and the infantry general Stockch in civilian clothes smiled at the machine at full power, spitting out clouds of cold air. Joy understood that General Stockch's long-standing worries had finally been resolved, and that the Imperial Royal Navy warships were finally in good living conditions and could be reassured that they could anchor in hot equatorial Africa for a long time.

From the time the crown prince took Joey to General Stosch and began his African adventures, Joey had established a good relationship with the head of the German Royal Navy. Limited to the position of the Imperial Government, or Chancellor Bismarck, to the Imperial Royal Navy, Admiral Stockch was destined to have no large fleet, and could only work hard in the structure of the offshore navy.

Even so, Admiral Stockch still showed Joy the professional qualities that a Chief of Staff of the Imperial Royal Navy should have, from the rapid assembly of a group of warships to support Professor Richthofen's expedition to Africa, to the immediate command of Rear Admiral Dietrich, the commander of the Royal Navy's Globetrotter Fleet, and directly under the command of Minister Barland, all of which demonstrated Admiral Storsch's decisiveness and dominance over the Imperial Royal Navy.

What Joey appreciated the most, or rather, was the humanistic care shown by General Stockch for every officer and soldier, which made Joey, who had received a humanistic education in his previous life, feel very cordial. For example, the refrigerator that came to the Imperial Palace to inspect Professor Linde was a response to the fact that the Royal Navy was affected by the hot weather when he was on a mission in equatorial Africa, which led to serious non-combat attrition of the officers and men of the Royal Navy.

"My fleet may not be as good as others in tonnage and firepower, but the morale of the soldiers of the Imperial Royal Navy must not be lost to others." "I regard the soldiers of the Imperial Royal Navy as my own children, and I must demand them with the strictest training and the best conditions." These are the two phrases that General Stockch most often put on his lips.

Joey liked this kind of army armed with the best weapons, the best training, and the best living conditions, and he scoffed at the Tsarist practice of taking serfs from the fields, stuffing a rifle, kicking them into battle, and finally surviving the soldiers were good soldiers.

The army is an elite, whether in wartime or peacetime, it is an elite that cannot be squandered, and it should never be cannon fodder in the hearts of those in power.

Therefore, for the traditional Prussian military leadership behavior shown by General Stockch, which is cherished by every soldier from the bottom of his heart, Joy is trying to help in every way. When I heard about Professor Linde's refrigeration technology, I immediately recommended it to General Stockch.

In Joey's mind, there is a huge blueprint for the Imperial Royal Navy in the making. On the evening of spring a few days ago, the Franco-Russian opponents of the British Royal Navy, who were plotting with the Prime Minister, were to plan a relaxed external environment for the Imperial Royal Navy. Planning a relaxed environment conducive to the development of the Imperial Royal Navy is only one part of the plan.

Presented today through the chiller, Joey wanted to convince Admiral Stockch that he always had the well-being of every officer and soldier of the Imperial Royal Navy at heart, which was another part of the plan.

As for how to arouse the love of the navy throughout the empire at the right time, it will be the next part of Joey's plan.

Of course, the most important step in Joey's plan was how to train a qualified seafarer, and this plan is also emerging today.

Joey can rely on the experience of his previous life to know the development trend of the world's naval equipment after the nineteenth century, and even obtain advanced naval weapons by taking one step or even several steps ahead of other countries, but the soul of an army, the naval soul of the Royal Navy, and the brave and strong soul of a sailor are not what Joey can bring by climbing the technology tree.

An army without a soul, no matter how advanced the weapons are, is still a showcase. The shaping of the soul of the navy is not just from training, but from a nation's thirst for the sea, a soul that yearns to benefit from the sea.

The thirst for the ocean is, in essence, the thirst for the benefits of the ocean. Through the infinite pursuit of maritime interests, Joy needs to make every fellow German understand that the future of the German nation lies not only on land, but also on the sea.

With Professor Linde's industrial oxygen purification technology, Joey has a huge commercial fleet in front of his eyes, with acetylene welding technology, the speed of German manufacturing of civilian ships will become faster, and then Joy has been looking forward to and promoting standardization into it, Joy is confident that Germany will become the manufacturing center of the world ship market.

At that time, there will be sailing on the seas of the world's oceans, including a logistics fleet that imports raw materials and exports products for the German Empire, and an ocean-going fishing fleet that brings protein to Germany.

At that time, not only will the fleet have steam refrigeration technology connected to the steam engine, and the fresh fruit and meat brought back to the colonies, but also the fishing fleet will be able to sail farther and track more fish with the help of refrigeration technology. When fresh exotic fruits and cheap meats, as well as plenty of fish are on the tables of the Germans, what could be more intuitive than educating about the interests of the sea?

These two civilian fleets will not only bring benefits to the German people, but will also bring a steady stream of qualified sailors to the Royal German Navy. Sailors who sail merchant ships and fishing boats on the oceans all year round understand that a strong navy is their protector.

All Joey is planning now is a repetition of the journey that has been taken over the past few hundred years, starting in the Netherlands and moving on to Portugal, Spain, and the Royal Navy of the British Empire.

Starting from the interests of the sea, let the whole German Empire understand that the wealth of the empire is not only the output of farmland and factories, but also the income of fishing grounds and logistics trade, which are all an important part of the wealth of the empire, and the navy is not a black hole in the empire's finances, in fact, it is the protector of the sea to maintain the security of the empire's wealth.

When all the people in the empire understand the source of the wealth of the sea, the enthusiasm for the pursuit of wealth will surely defeat all those who stand in the way, and every sailor who desires the interests of the sea from the bottom of his heart will become a symbol of the courage of the German Imperial Navy.

Joey's previous life, the fleet of the Navy during the German Empire, purely from the perspective of weapons, cannot be said that the battleships are not advanced, but as the bathtub toy of Kaiser Wilhelm, from top to bottom, it lacks the brave spirit of Admiral Nelson of the British Royal Navy.

In the end, the remaining backbone either turned into an uprising of the sailors in the port of Kiel, or into the tragedy of Operation Rainbow, but there was no trace of the fortitude of the fleet that dared to die with the British Royal Navy.

If the bravery of the Imperial Royal Navy cannot be cultivated, in Joey's opinion, it is really better to turn the funds seized by the gold-eating beast of the navy into more advanced weapons of the army or air force, at least the German army and air force will kill far more enemies than Wilhelm's toys.

"It's better to raise a Erha who will only ruin the family, it is better to raise a wolf who can eat people, William's navy is a Erha who will only destroy the family, and I want to bring a wolf of the imperial navy that can eat people to this world!"
