On May 15, Qin Tian and Foreign Minister Feng ? Kidren? Together, Washit left Berlin and took the train to Wilhelmshaven. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info There they will board the battleship 'Nassau' of the Imperial Navy and go to England.

Although, some reluctant to give up their wives. Especially when Princess Gondelind was pregnant, Qin Tian didn't want to leave Germany. However, as the crown prince, while enjoying power, he must also bear corresponding obligations, which made him have to complete this foreign trip. Fortunately, it doesn't take much time to visit the UK, and with the time spent on the road, it only takes about half a month in total.

On the morning of May 16, Qin Tian and the Foreign Minister boarded the battleship 'Nassau', the first dreadnought ship of the German Navy. Even after the more powerful 'Wicchersbach-class' battleships were put into service, the 'Nassau' battleship was still a well-deserved capital ship of the German Navy. What's more, compared to the battleships of the British Navy, in addition to the 'Orion-class' battleships that are under construction, the battleship 'Nassau' can be described as a rare opponent.

Even the Orion-class battleships were armed with 45 times the caliber 343 mm guns, but in terms of performance, they were not necessarily stronger than the Nassau's 50 times caliber 305 mm guns. Not to mention, the armor of the battleship Nassau was thicker and more powerful than that of the Orion-class battleship. In the event of a war, the battleship Nassau might be able to resist the Orion-class battleships.

The battleship Nassau began to vibrate, and the propellers spun rapidly under the drive of the steam turbines. The battleship also gradually changed from stationary to moving. When the battleship sailed out of the military port and into the North Sea, the battleship began to accelerate.

Although the maximum speed of the battleship 'Nassau' was as high as 21 knots, it was cruising at a speed of 10 knots in peacetime, except during tests and in future naval battles. From Wilhelmshaven to London, the battleship Nassau had to sail for two days.

However, Edward VII's funeral took place a week later, and they still had enough time to arrive in London.

Standing on the deck of the battleship 'Nassau', feeling the oncoming sea breeze and experiencing the feeling of a huge battleship riding the wind and waves, Qin Tian's heart was very emotional. In his previous life, he was just an otaku, but now he has become the heir to one of the most powerful empires in the world. It's as if in a dream.

What's more, this empire is completely different from another time and space. With Qin Tian's unremitting efforts, this empire is becoming more powerful. Qin Tian believed that once the war broke out, they would definitely win in the future.

"His Royal Highness!" A voice sounded behind Qin Tian.

Qin Tian looked back and saw that it was the Imperial Foreign Minister Feng? Kidren? Vahit, the specific name of the post of Foreign Minister in Germany, is actually State Secretary for Foreign Affairs.

"Hello, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary!" Qin Tian nodded and said.

For the important ministers of the civil faction of the empire, Qin Tian also hoped to win them over. It's just that whether it is Prime Minister Bernhardt? Feng? Birlow, or the Foreign Secretary in front of him, Von? Kidren? Vahit, did not explicitly state his support for him! They were more like staying neutral, or that Wilhelm II decided who was the heir to the empire, and they supported whomever he supported.

This is undoubtedly a little unfavorable for Qin Tian. Although, Qin Tian has already gained a lot of support in the military. The Navy has fallen to him in full. At least half of the Army also supported him. However, Moltke Jr. made it clear that he was against him. If the civilian faction can support him, then his position is truly impregnable. Otherwise, Wilhelm II's words may make him unable to become the crown prince. Of course, even Wilhelm II will not easily change the crown prince. It's just that who let Qin Tian have the word 'generation' on his head? This makes his position relatively unstable.

"Your Highness, it's hard to imagine that this giant ship under our feet is still the Empire's. It is a complete miracle that the Imperial Navy caught up with Britain in an extreme time, and even overtook it. "Feng? Kidren? Vahit lamented.

As an important minister of the empire, Feng? Kidren? Naturally, Vahit knew the true situation of the Imperial Navy. In order to avoid being known to the outside world about the true situation of their own navy, the German navy did a lot of deceptive work. The cannon's jacket for the main gun, except during training, has always been covered with the cannon. So that the outside world did not know the caliber of the main guns of the capital ships of the German Navy at all.

The major shipyards have also strengthened their vigilance, making it impossible for spies from various countries to find out the real situation. In the event of war, the true strength of the German Navy would inevitably surprise other countries.

"This is a joint effort of all the people of the Imperial Navy. Of course, the support of the Cabinet is also indispensable. After all, these big guys are very expensive. Qin Tian said with a smile.

The Navy is originally a money-burning service, a battleship, tens of millions of marks, without strong financial support, can not play at all. Even Germany almost couldn't hold out.

"Your Highness, I know the true situation of the navy. If it weren't for His Highness, the Imperial Navy would not be where it is today. "Feng? Kidren? Vahit shook his head.

Qin Tian smiled and didn't say anything. Indeed, it was precisely because of his strong impetus that the German Navy was able to develop by leaps and bounds. Otherwise, the Imperial Navy would have been pinned down by the British.

"Based on these exploits of His Highness alone, I personally believe that His Highness should become the heir to the empire. In the entire Empire, there is no one more suitable for this position than His Highness. Even the previous Crown Prince William was far inferior to His Royal Highness. "Feng? Kidren? Vahit continued.

Qin Tian couldn't help but start thinking, Feng? Kidren? What does this mean by Vahit. Could it be that the attitude of the civilian faction will change because of this? If that's the case, it's undoubtedly a great thing for him. With the support of the civilian faction, his position will be even more secure.

Although he thought so in his heart, when he didn't really settle down, Qin Tian still behaved quietly.

"Your Excellency, you have won the prize. Whether or not I can become the crown prince is up to my father. I personally support any of his decisions! Qin Tian said.
