"The future of the German Reich is at sea! We have proved with blood and fire the strength of the German Empire on land! And in the future, warriors of the German Navy, you will become a sword in the hands of the Empire and expand the territory of the Empire. "At the Kiel naval base in Germany, Wilhelm II personally saw off the fleet that was about to go to sea.

At this moment, at the Kiel naval base, the elite of the German Navy gathered! In addition to the third ship of the Mainz-class armored cruiser Lun, which is undergoing sea trials in the North Sea, and the Mainz-class armored cruiser Cologne, which is being refurbished in the dockyard, there are three Caesars. The Frederick III-class battleships, 2 Brandenburg-class battleships, 2 Mainz-class armored cruisers and 3 Munich-class armored cruisers were concentrated here.

Kaiser Wilhelm II was the new flagship of the German High Seas Fleet, Kaiser. With the Karl the Great in the background, and on the left side of the podium was the commander of the German High Seas Fleet, von Brown. Admiral Boll was the head of the German fleet executives, while on the right were the civilian officers of the Navy headed by Tirpitz, and Prince Ruprecht was not among them.

It's not that the prince's position is not enough to find a place to sit in it, but because at this moment, the prince is meeting with the U.S. Navy personnel who have come to meet in an office not far from him. And the people who came this time were also old friends of the prince, the new Commodore of the United States Navy, Magiffin, and the American military attache in Germany, Colonel Benson.

"Your fleet is really a lot of accumulation!" Majifen looked out of the window and saw three Caesars. The Frederick III-class battleships were lined up, and a little further away there were two Brandenburg-class battleships, the former being an upgraded version of the latter, with three huge turrets arranged on the centerline. The slightly slender hull, the huge turret, and the profile of the profile give it a refreshing feel. Combat effectiveness aside, purely from the point of view of appearance, this is almost the most beautiful battleship Majifen has ever seen!

On the other side of the harbor, 2 Mainz-class armored cruisers and 3 Munich-class armored cruisers are moored. The latter can be regarded as the beginning of the strength of the German Navy, and the emergence of the Munich-class armored cruisers not only allowed Germany to have the world's first-class warships, but also because of the unexpected engagements that can be called accidents, so that the German Navy tasted victory!

And after that, realizing the great benefits of the Navy, and realizing that our strong Germans began to pay more and more attention to their own Navy! And the Germans, motivated, began to rapidly expand their naval forces! The Americans made a similar path, but alas, in the Far East, the Americans were crushed by the new regional powers and ancient empires. And what did the Germans do this time?

"Germany and the United States are in a way a kind of country, both are new countries. Our efforts to pursue interests in the Far East have failed, so how does your country view further expansion in Africa? Has His Highness considered some undesirable outcome? Majifen asked as he withdrew his gaze from the battleship in the distance.

"There will be bad consequences, but we can't choke on food. The countries most likely to interfere are now on their own. While the other great powers are indifferent to this, I don't think anyone would risk war with Germany to defend a small country. The prince said with a smile.

"Is this the law of the jungle?" Majifen is still a little resistant to such a blunt statement.

"In this era, who didn't use blood and fire to open the way when they rose and succeeded in stepping on each other's corpses? The same is true of your country, but it has failed. The prince said calmly.

"If you fail, you can come again, we have once again launched a challenge to the old order of this world, and this time, the two countries will go side by side!" Benson, who was on the side, looked at the atmosphere a little dull, so he said.

"Cheers to our upcoming collaboration!" The prince said after pouring a glass of wine for the two American guests. On the pretext of their visit, Majifen and others came to Germany to negotiate with the German navy's top brass on cooperation between the two sides. And officially sent an invitation to the German fleet to the United States, in order to confuse other countries.

At the same time, in order to show the sincerity of the German side, the German navy allowed the US officer corps to visit a series of naval infrastructure, including the Kiel military port, the Brom-Forss shipyard, and the Kiel Naval School, and expressed its willingness to accept US naval officers to Germany for further study.

At the end of this series of events, a U.S. Navy delegation headed by Magiffen will board a German warship to take charge of liaison and the subsequent operations of the U.S. fleet in Africa. To the prince's surprise, this time the Americans took the initiative for the first time and expressed their willingness to use American ships to transport German fighters if necessary! As a report, the prince expressed his willingness to promote the establishment of a long-term liaison mechanism between the navies of the two countries!

"It seems that His Majesty the Emperor's speech is over." The cheers outside the window once again attracted the attention of the trio, and Wilhelm II waved to the officers and men present as the German naval officers and men shouted long live the emperor. Subsequently, under the leadership of the commander of the fleet, Count Spee, the crews of the four battleships began to board the ship. For the first time, the U.S. Navy personnel who attended the ceremony also boarded these powerful warships.

"Let's go, let's take a tour of this fleet, and it's lucky to see all of Germany's first-line capital ships at once, which are the spears, swords, and daggers of the Imperial Navy! Together, they formed the system of maritime power of the Imperial Navy. The prince said with a smile.

"That's a very apt description, Caesar. The Frederick III-class battleship is the spear of the Imperial Navy, the target of this spear is the enemy's main fleet, and the Mainz-class armored cruiser is the sword, although the lethality is lower, but the victory is fast and agile. The former main Munich-type armored cruiser undertook tasks such as breaking diplomatic relations and covering at sea, and although it was weaker, it could pose a deadly threat to the opponent's soft underbelly. Majifen said after a moment of contemplation.

"I have to say that your country's naval construction plan is very good, and the warships designed and built are even better. If it is convenient, can you say what guidelines should be followed in the construction of the US Navy? In the face of a severe external environment, how should the U.S. fleet ensure the interests of the United States overseas? Magiffen pleaded.

"Hehe, did you remember to ask me at this time?" The prince said in his heart. However, for the Americans, who were already quasi-allies at this time, in order to better make trouble for the Japanese and the British, the prince was still willing to mention the Americans who were beaten a little dizzy at this time.
