Emperor Wilhelm II, Prime Minister Bernhardt? Feng? Bülow, Foreign Secretary von? Kidren? Vahit, Minister of the Navy, Field Marshal Count Tirpitz, Minister of War and Chief of the General Staff, von Hirts? Marshal Falkenhein, as well as the Imperial Crown Prince Qin Tian, all gathered here.

It has been a full month since the outbreak of the revolution in Russia. Now, the territory controlled by the Russian Cloth Party is also getting bigger and bigger. But at the same time, the troops loyal to the Tsar, with the support of Britain, France, the United States, Japan and other countries, launched an attack on the areas controlled by the Britain. The Russian Civil War has already started on a large scale.

Wilhelm II and others had smiles on their faces. For them, the outbreak of the revolution in Russia and the outbreak of war between the Cloth Party and the troops loyal to the Tsar was undoubtedly a great thing for the German Empire. Originally, the advantage of the German Empire in this war was gradually being lost. But with Russia, an important Entente member, withdrawing from the war, this allowed the German Empire to regain the upper hand in the war. Even, everybody thought that the victory of the German Empire in this war would be inevitable.

"Oscar, you've done a great job. I really didn't expect that those people could really make it happen. Although the strength of the Russian Empire is not as strong as that of the German Empire, it has always been a great power! Wilhelm II lamented.

Initially, when Qin Tian supported the Cloth Party, Wilhelm II disagreed. Because, too, the German Empire belonged to the empire that the Cloth Party wanted to overthrow. Qin Tian believed that supporting the activities of the Buenos Aires could destabilize Russia. Wilhelm II was also noncommittal, and let Qin Tian operate. What he didn't expect was that Qin Tian was really successful.

"Your Majesty, although Russia is also one of the great powers, their domestic contradictions are too acute. Nicholas II was incompetent enough to manage such a country with the largest territory in the world and the largest population in Europe. Therefore, this led to their collapse in the revolution of the Cloth Party. If it were another country, the party would definitely not be able to succeed so easily. Qin Tian said.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, even so, the influence and destructive power of the cloth party must not be underestimated. I suggest that we must take full precautions against the activities of the party in Germany. In the past, we supported them only to bring down Russia. Now, Russia has fallen. We must think about the future security of the Empire. "Prime Minister Bernhardt? Feng? Billo said.

Qin Tian nodded: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I think so too. After we have reaped enough benefits from the Cloth Party, it is time to suppress them in its entirety. Although, the current cloth party is still relatively weak in front of the empire. However, in the future they will inevitably develop into the main adversaries of the empire in the European region. From now on, the Empire can prepare for future wars with them. ”

"Will the Cloth Party threaten the Empire? How is this possible? Wilhelm II raised his eyebrows, not quite convinced. In comparison, the strength of the German Empire now has the momentum of being the world's first power. If they win this war again, they will undoubtedly become the world hegemon. At that time, even if the Cloth Party took control of Russia, it would definitely not be able to confront the German Empire.

"Father, the potential of the cloth party must not be underestimated. If we despise them, we will definitely suffer greatly. Qin Tian said solemnly. Qin Tian clearly remembered how terrifying the potential of the Cloth Party was. In a ruined land, it soon developed into a superpower on a par with American imperialism. If they do not pay attention to it, the future party will inevitably become a big problem for them.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have a reason for saying this. It seems that we really need to take precautions against the party. "Foreign Minister Feng? Kidren? Vahit said.

"Okay, Oscar. I'll leave all the affairs of the Cloth Party to you. We have only one goal, and that is to ensure the longevity of the empire! Kaiser Wilhelm II said.

"Yes, Father." Qin Tian nodded solemnly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the most important thing for us next is to win the current war. After the upheaval in Russia, I think there will be no doubt that the Empire will win the war. Kaiser Wilhelm II said.

"Yes, Father. Now we only need to keep a small number of troops on the Eastern Front, and the other main forces can be transferred to the Western Front. In addition, various corps are also building up their armaments and forming armored divisions. Once our preparations are completed, we will be able to defeat the British and French forces again and completely win a decisive victory on the Western Front! Qin Tian said.

"Well, what about the Navy? Tirpitz, when will the High Seas Fleet be able to fight a decisive battle with the British? Wilhelm II asked.

The Imperial Navy now firmly held a dominant position in naval battles with the British Navy. However, the British Navy was not at all defenseless. Therefore, Wilhelm II had always hoped that the High Seas Fleet of the Imperial Navy would completely defeat the British Royal Navy and pull the British from the throne of sea supremacy.

"Your Majesty, the Navy plans to fight the British in the first half of next year. If the British dare not go to war, then the Imperial Navy will strike at the coastal cities of the British, forcing them to go to sea and fight us in a decisive battle. Marshal Count Tirpitz said. In the first half of next year, the German Navy's five 'Bavaria-class' battleships and three 'Mackensen-class' battlecruisers will all enter service, which will bring the strength of the German Navy to its peak. In the whole world, there is no country whose navy can compete with the German navy. Even the British Royal Navy could not compete with the German Navy, which had reached its peak.

What's more, this is just the surface fleet. The German Navy also has powerful underwater forces, as well as aircraft carrier formations. Although, there are only two aircraft carriers. But that's undoubtedly the first of its kind. When carrier-based aircraft take off from aircraft carriers and strike at the British warships, they will know that the gap between them and the German Navy is definitely not a gap in the number of surface warships, but an all-round gap in terms of hardware strength and operational concepts.

In front of the German Navy, the Royal Navy, which was once the world's first, was only left to be crushed.

Wilhelm II nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, in the first half of next year, the Imperial Army will achieve a decisive victory on the Western Front, and the Imperial Navy will completely defeat the British Royal Navy." Then, this battle is won by the Empire! ”
