Both from the position of the previous life and from the current position, Prince Ruprecht believes that it is necessary for him to make some trouble for Japan! Needless to say, the position of the previous life. As for this life? Later, Japan sided with Germany and ate all the German islands in the Pacific, which alone could not be tolerated!

The traverser estimated that even if the 1st World War was drawn this time, Japan would not spit it out so simply! After all, the whip is beyond the reach of the whip, although the high seas fleet is strong, but the overseas bases are limited! Do you want the coal-burning fleet to slip all the way through? During the Russo-Japanese War, the Russian Second Pacific Fleet still had a Vladivostok to go to, and there were French and German coastal ports to replenish, and after the end of World War 1, how could the German fleet be replenished? Therefore, it is the duty of His Royal Highness the Prince to find a stumbling block for Japan, and the sooner the better!

"There is a saying that the whip is beyond the reach of the whip, I wonder if His Royal Highness the Prince has heard of it? If it were put into Europe with the power of the Japanese Navy, even the Austro-Hungarian fleet would be able to destroy it easily! But in Asia, especially in East Asia, apart from the British Far East Fleet, the only thing that can suppress the Japanese at present is the Beiyang Fleet, and in a few years, the Beiyang Fleet will not be an opponent of the Japanese! "His Royal Highness the Prince pointed to the Manchus on the globe, and then to Japan!

"According to the expansion rate of the Japanese fleet, they will have to go to war with the Manchus sooner or later, if His Royal Highness the Prince is interested, you can ask your subordinates to check it. The Japanese are now under construction and have more than a dozen cruisers of various types. And their naval budget is at least 2 times that of the Qing State! What is the war fought? It's money! So, once the war starts, Japan will win! The certainty of the traverser's tone surprised William.

"And Japan is very aggressive! In 1874, they sent troops to land on the island of Taiwan, and in this game, they exchanged compensation for the withdrawal of Japanese troops, and then, Japan also clashed with the United States in Honolulu, and a country that had only bought a few warships dared to challenge a much larger country than them! If one day, the naval power in their hands is equal to that of their opponents, then they will definitely do it! Tirpitz on the side also showed his professionalism! The history of the Japanese Navy has been laid out one by one!

His current most trusted subordinate and the newly made friend all said so, and His Royal Highness couldn't find a reason not to believe it. "So what should we do? Help the Qing Kingdom knock Japan? ”

"The Manchu Qing Dynasty will be finished sooner or later, it's useless." The traverser said silently in his heart, and to be honest, he was still quite disgusted with the late Qing Dynasty. He didn't have the idea of helping this decaying empire, he just wanted to make the loss of the Chinese nation smaller, and he really has such a way now!

"Next year, we will have a very good opportunity! After the arrival of the Russian fleet in Japan, the assassination of Crown Prince Nikolai was our best chance! "Of course, he can't say such prophetic words!" The Reich did not have the motives and capabilities to directly interfere in the Far East, at least until the completion of our new armored cruisers. You can ask the colonel next to you what the Empire's maritime presence in the Far East really is! And behind Japan is the British, and it is unlikely that we will be directly confronted by the British! ”

This passage is very artistic! It is impossible for the German government to protect the Manchus from disaster, and there is no such power now! And historically, in the Sino-Japanese War, Wilhelm II remained neutral. So, if there is no accident, direct intervention is really unlikely! However, judging from the historical situation, when Japan was about to reap the fruits of the war, the intervention of Russia, Germany and France could be considered! If things change somewhat, the result of the intervention is very likely!

"Actually, we don't need to come out, the most interesting thing about politics and diplomacy is to use the power of others to achieve our own goals! Actually, the Russians are more anxious than us! A Britain entrenched in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the Manchu Qing Dynasty has already made the Russians feel uncomfortable, and if there is another country in the Far East that can hinder it, then the Russians will definitely take action, and then we can just stand by it! And we can gain the favor of the Manchus, if we can use the favor of the other party to open up the market, then why do we have to use artillery and warships? The traverser said euphemistically.

"It's a good idea, but if the Russians don't do it, the empire will have to rely on its own strength to ensure its interests in the Far East! I don't trust the so-called treaties, I value the sword in my hand more! When negotiating, we can keep the sword in our hands to make the other party feel scared, and we can get a satisfactory result! Strength is the most solid backing for interests! "Wilhelm II is still so obsessed with force, the military strength of the Second German Reich is indeed strong, but in the end the Germans were also defeated by the four words of reckless force!

"It is necessary for us to increase our military presence in the Pacific, and our colonies in the Pacific are not in a good position to support the stationing and operation of a fleet of a certain size." Tirpitz said thoughtfully.

Historical inertia! Absolute historical inertia! Unexpectedly, the matter of seizing Jiaozhou Bay was also planned by someone for a long time! I thought about it 8 years in advance! 8 years, the War of Resistance is over! It's scary to think about!

"Too far away, and with limited interests, a large number of our colonies are in Africa, not in the Pacific. From the North Sea to the Atlantic, the Mediterranean, the Indian Ocean, our forces are blank on the entire route, the Far East is not suitable for the current Germany, not to mention anything else, fleet berths and maintenance are a problem! "The traverser pointed out the problem.

It is a waste for Germany to deploy too much military force in the Far East, and you don't see that after the Russo-Japanese War, even Britain acquiesced to the position of the Japanese Navy as the first in the Far East, and except for the United States, no country has the ability or idea to solve the maritime problems of the Far East! In the end, the German base in Qingdao and the privileges of Shandong were not easily taken away by Japan, so what is the use of fighting now? But in vain! So the traverser means to consume Japan, but not to gain new colonies. It's too far away there.

"But the Far East is, after all, our stakehold, and we can't give it up easily." William's words are still full of unwillingness, this aggressive German peacock is really stubborn.

"The Far East is also a point of interest for Britain, and it is not convenient for him to confront Russia directly in the Far East, so he supports Japan, and for us, if Russia focuses on Japan, and we help from the side, whether Russia wins or loses. The attrition of Russia and Japan is always good for us. The traverser said with a smile. This is the legendary praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind! If the First World War were to break out in the end, a weaker Russia would undoubtedly be in Germany's interests! Although Russia's performance in World War I was not good in history, if you look at the speed of Russia's development, if you give them some time, I am afraid that it will reverse the balance of power between the two sides, Russia is a big country, and a big country means that there are all possibilities!

Naturally, the discussion between the two distinguished non-authorities will not directly affect Germany's foreign policy, but it is undeniable that it is a good thing to make the future Kaiser wary of Japan.

A small butterfly has begun to stir its wings, and if what the Traveler has done before has only been economic, this time, the diplomatic and political repercussions will send the ship of history in another unknown direction. Qing Guo should have lost or lost, but other things in the world have changed!

"The series of changes caused by this one thing works better than all the golden fingers!" Decades later, the traverser looked at the photo of his first meeting with Prince William and said proudly.
