"Ruprecht seems to have been busy lately." Emperor Ao seemed to say casually.

"That's right, it seems that apart from the fact that Princess Mary can meet with the prince for an hour a day, the prince has been in contact with the German military attaché and ambassador to Austria-Hungary, and it seems that they are going to make some big moves lately."

"I'm really curious now about what Ruprecht can come up with, why would he do it when the Germans have already said they will not intervene directly in the war between Italy and Turkey?"

"Although Germany finally decided to sell the Prince Albert armored cruiser to the Turks in the form of a loan, but the Italians attacked in advance and blocked the ****** Strait, the biggest trump card given by the Germans to Turkey is useless, will the German fleet escort this battleship to Turkey? It's simply impossible. Emperor Ao sneered.

"Maybe the prince could do it by other means? This will soon be revealed, so we'll see. Earl Taaff said.

And in the German embassy not far from the Austrian Imperial Palace, the prince is making final preparations for the breakthrough plan of the entire fleet, this time it is a delicate job, how to make a large cruiser of 10,000 tons reach the Dardanelles Strait under the noses of the Italians, this is not the largest operation of the German Navy, but it is definitely the most intelligent operation!

"How's our K-fleet preparing?" The prince asked.

"The amount of work is a bit large, and it almost takes five days to complete the demolition of a ship's superstructure, and although we do our best to keep it, it still takes five days to complete." Said the representative of the Navy on the side.

"And what about the afleet? Have you prepared the materials and the dockyard for them? When will it be done? The prince asked again.

"Don't worry, the place we chose is very remote, the surroundings have been checked, not to mention Italian spies, foreigners will not have them, the surrounding buildings that can see the inside of the port are all naval personnel, and this ship will stay in the port for 3 days! Some of the remaining auxiliary work will be done at sea. The representative of the Navy assured.

"Are schedules, communications, and coordination done?" The prince asked again.

"No problem, whether it's in the Atlantic, in the Mediterranean, in the Adriatic and Aegean Seas, we're all ready. But I have always wondered, if we don't let Austria-Hungary cooperate with our actions in the Adriatic?

"Because I'm afraid that the Austro-Hungarian ship hasn't left the port yet, and the Italians will know about it!" The prince did not dare to expect the secrecy of Austria-Hungary, and was even very dissatisfied with the secrecy of the Axis powers in World War 1 in history, not only did the Russians take away the German codebook and then use it for a war, but the effect of other coded communication and secrecy was also very unsatisfactory, and in the middle and late periods, the Germans' radio communication and ciphers were not difficult for Britain and France......

Therefore, the prince can only adopt the most primitive and at the same time the most effective methods, first, to narrow down the range of people who can know about this, and second, to avoid the public's eyeliner as much as possible, and at the same time arrange more bait to confuse the other party's attention!

"Alright then, last question, when will our voyage to the Atlantic begin?" The prince asked.

"Tomorrow the Reich Foreign Ministry will make a statement, and then Admiral Tirpitz will arrive at the port of Kiel at ten o'clock in the morning to see off the traveling fleet. The fleet was to be led by Count Spee. The other party replied.

"That means everything is ready, and I just have to wait for news of success or failure, right?" The prince smiled slightly, and said with relief.

"Yes, you can now devote yourself to your wedding preparations, the Imperial Navy will not let you down, and will give you a great gift on your wedding day!" The representative of the Navy said respectfully.

"I look forward to your gift!" The prince said confidently.

"Ruprecht, are you really going to fight Italy to the end?" After dealing with these things, the prince arrived at the palace where he was staying, and met Princess Mary, who was waiting here. There was a hint of anxiety and unwillingness in the latter's eyes. She also tried to convince her father to help the prince, but the former never let go, and even warned her not to meddle in government affairs, which made Her Royal Highness the princess very worried.

"Of course. You don't have to worry, Italy will lose badly this time. The prince reassured.

"I met with my father, hoping that he could help us ......." Princess Mary said with a gloomy face.

But your father disagreed. Is that so, as I said earlier, no one else can be trusted, the only one you can rely on is me, and I also trust you completely and will help you achieve your goals! This is the first time that Ruprecht has agreed to Princess Mary's request head-on, and as for what the so-called goal is, Her Royal Highness naturally knows it. And the prince's promise swept away the depression in the princess's heart!

"Alright, let's do something useful. If you really want to help me, let your people start doing something about the Italian financial markets and the grain market. Our war with Italy is not just at sea! ”

"It's easier in the financial markets, because money knows no borders, but hoarding food will take some time and there will be enough manpower." Princess Mary thought for a moment and said.

"The manpower and funds are arranged by me, don't you want to be the empress? This time, I'm going to see how far you can go, so that you can experience your future enthronement. A king who doesn't know how to brush means is not qualified. The prince gently took Princess Mary's hand and kissed it on the back of her hand.

"Ruprecht, don't you worry about the day when you are the king and I am the emperor?" Princess Mary chuckled.

"No way, who made you my wife, and I believe in my own abilities! Well, let's not talk about these annoying things. Ruprecht kissed him.

The next day, when the prince took his fiancée to visit the Austrian Emperor, the German Foreign Ministry issued a statement that the German High Seas Fleet would go on a routine cruise. Under Frederick III, a fleet of two battleships and two cruisers was to go to the Atlantic, and then bypass the Strait of Magellan into the Pacific Ocean.
