"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness Prince Oscar and Marshal Count Tirpitz have left His Majesty's office. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" a waiter said to Crown Prince William.

"Humph!" Crown Prince William snorted coldly and walked quickly out of his office.

In the gardens of the Imperial Palace, Qin Tian and Marshal Count Tirpitz were walking along the path, and the two met to return to Berlin.

"Your Royal Highness, our 'Nassau-class' battleships, 'Helgoran-class' battleships and 'Blucher-class' battlecruisers are all stronger than the British battleships and battlecruisers, which undoubtedly allows us to shorten the gap with the British in terms of dreadnoughts." Marshal Tirpitz was full of confidence in the future of the navy.

"Yes, Your Excellency. However, we cannot be overconfident. Our capital ships, in terms of performance, although stronger than the capital ships of the British. But we cannot deny that the British still have great advantages in shipbuilding and warship design. Especially their financial resources, as well as the large number of large shipyards. Once they find that their supremacy at sea is threatened, they will inevitably go all out to build more warships. At that time, we will see the capital ships of the British Navy, which have been launched into service one after another. And our high seas fleet, I'm afraid that at that time, we will have to face the hordes of capital ships of the British. Qin Tian sighed.

Britain's shipbuilding strength is the best in the world. Coupled with their deep pockets, the accumulation of the British Empire over hundreds of years is not something to talk about casually. Once their war machine is fully operational, the capital ships of the Royal Navy of the British Empire will inevitably be launched like dumplings. When the time comes, the German Navy will inevitably be under tremendous pressure.

The smile on Marshal Tirpitz's face also disappeared, and he knew that what Qin Tian said was true. The war potential of the British was undoubtedly terrifying. Despite the fact that the British had a small army and low combat effectiveness. However, it has to be admitted that the supremacy of the British Navy at sea is very unshakable. If you want to defeat the British Navy, it will be very difficult.

"Your Royal Highness, although the road is extremely difficult. However, there is no way to go back. We will only be able to go down this path until we defeat the British, or we will be crushed to pieces. "Marshal Count Tirpitz had a gritty glint in his eyes.

Qin Tian nodded: "That's true, Your Excellency Marshal." Our enemies are strong, and it will be very difficult to defeat them. However, we will do our best to defeat them. Even if it ends in failure, at least we have worked hard for it, and we will not regret it in the future. ”

Marshal Count Tirpitz nodded again and again, and his gaze at Qin Tian was full of approval. He even thought in his heart that compared to Crown Prince William, Qin Tian was much stronger in terms of talent and conduct. If Qin Tian is the crown prince of the German Empire, this is obviously more beneficial to the German Empire. Of course, this is just a matter of thinking. Qin Tian's inheritance is ranked very low. The first in line to the throne is Crown Prince William, which cannot be changed. This also made Marshal Count Tirpitz only able to sigh in his heart.

"Your Excellency, our capital ships are now all oil-fired boilers and steam turbines. However, Germany is a country that is desperately short of oil. All the oil we consume needs to be imported overseas. In peacetime, this is not a problem. We can get enough oil from the United States. But once the war breaks out, even if the Americans are willing to sell us oil. The British will also block our sea trade routes. At that time, if we run out of fuel, we will have no oil to use. All the warships can only lie in the harbor. Qin Tian reminded.

"Your Royal Highness, there is indeed such a possibility. However, oil-fired boilers have too many advantages over coal-fired boilers, not only are they more powerful, but they can also further improve the endurance of warships. As for fuel, we can only store as much oil as we can before the outbreak of war. Marshal Count Tirpitz sighed. Who made Germany's resources so scarce? Except for coal, almost all are lacking.

"Well, that's the only way. It is hoped that our navy will be able to defeat the British on the battlefield, and in this way, there will be no fear that the British will cut off our sea trade routes. Qin Tian nodded.

At the same time, Qin Tian also planned to start storing oil to prepare for future wars.

"Oscar!" At this moment, a voice full of anger sounded.

Marshal Tirpitz and Qin Tian, who were talking about things, couldn't help but be stunned. Immediately, they saw an angry Crown Prince William walking towards them.

"His Royal Highness!" Qin Tian and Marshal Count Tirpitz both took the initiative to say hello. After all, although Crown Prince Wilhelm is a little less capable, he is the crown prince of the German Empire after all, and his identity and status are all there.

"Humph! Oscar, do you still have me as the crown prince in your eyes? Crown Prince William's voice was fierce, as if Qin Tian was his enemy, his hideous face looked very ugly, and the fierce light in his eyes was as if he wanted to eat Qin Tian in one bite.

"Your Royal Highness, what do you mean by this?" Qin Tian frowned, a little unsure of what was going on. He doesn't seem to have offended Crown Prince William, right? But why did Crown Prince William do this to him?

Marshal Count Tirpitz also frowned: "Your Royal Highness, is there some misunderstanding?" ”

"Humph! Your Excellency, what are your words? Could it be that your navy is about to start taking sides? Don't forget, I'm the crown prince of the German Empire! I am the future Emperor of the German Empire. Crown Prince William was even more furious. In his opinion, the speech just made by Marshal Count Tirpitz represented that the position of the navy had changed and began to support Qin Tian. This is completely unacceptable to him.

"Your Royal Highness, what nonsense are you talking about? When did the Navy ever mean this! Marshal Count Tirpitz also had a very bad look. The military has never interfered in the succession of the royal family, this is a common practice, and it is also a red line that no one will cross. Marshal Count Tirpitz thought to himself that he did not behave like that. However, Crown Prince Wilhelm is talking nonsense like this, which will be a great insult to his reputation and the reputation of the navy, and naturally cannot be accepted by the old marshal who single-handedly built the German navy.
