Chapter 57 The Kaiser's Determination
Thanks to Nangong Fang Shao, Lao Li 1407, 37033 three book friends for their tips and encouragement, thank you! Fang Shao will not vote for renewal in the future, my code is very slow, it is really difficult to complete, please forgive me.
Wilhelm II felt that what Harmani said made sense, and Fu He nodded, and then set his eyes on Herman. Marshal Red, hoping to hear a satisfactory explanation in him.
"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty not only had a powerful navy, but also advanced science and technology in the world, and the Ming Dynasty opened up many fields of science and technology, allowing the people to cultivate more scientific and technological talents. They have advanced technology, it is not impossible to hide in the southeast of the Papua island, where is a plain, the land is fertile, it is completely self-sufficient in cultivating fields, they have advanced mining technology, and they are also self-sufficient.
This group of Ming people has a lesson in the death of the country. So when the three of us colonized the islands of Papua, they chose to continue to forbear. Their goal is the Qing Dynasty, and they have the dream of restoring the country, so they don't want to be enemies of our countries. ”
"Herman. Marshal Red, the telegram said that the British Empire sent thousands of people to find something, probably offended the strength of this descendant of the Ming Dynasty, and only two of the thousands of people came back. If this group of descendants of the Ming Dynasty didn't want to offend our three countries, why did they exterminate so many British soldiers? Among them were two cruisers, four destroyers, dozens of merchant ships. Hamani looked at Herman. Marshal Red asked.
Wilhelm II stood up at this time and said: "Two, can we assume that the British Empire has discovered any important gold mines, or discovered some secrets of this descendant of the Ming Dynasty, and only sent thousands of people to investigate or fight for it?"
Perhaps the British Empire touched the bottom line of this mysterious force, and it was only by this force that thousands of British people were wiped out. There is also an assumption that this group of Ming descendants was studying this huge warship back then, and they didn't want to expose their strength too early, so that our three countries could successfully colonize the islands of Papua? ”
Herman. When Red and Harmani heard this, they both nodded, thinking that His Majesty Wilhelm II's analysis was very reasonable.
"Your Majesty, we are only hypothetizing and analyzing now, but it is difficult to verify whether this mysterious force is a descendant of the Ming Dynasty who escaped back then." Harmani said.
"Personally, I think they are the descendants of the Ming Dynasty, and they can build such a huge warship in a few hundred years, let alone a few hundred years later. There are descendants of the Ming Dynasty in this world, and I really can't think of a country that can build such a huge warship, even if the British Empire does not have the ability to do so at present. "Herman. Red said retorted.
Wilhelm II basically agreed with Hermann. Red's statement, if it is really the descendants of the Ming Dynasty, since they have chosen not to endure anymore, then the trouble of the German Empire is coming. What if this force were to start a war to drive out the German Empire?
War? They had such powerful warships that the navy of the German Empire would only seek humiliation when they went to war with them. The German Empire had few colonies, and Wilhelm II was a little unwilling to abandon the colonies of the islands of Papua like this.
"Two marshals, this force of Ming descendants no longer chooses to forbear, but comes out to declare sovereignty in their warships, and the emperor thinks that our German Empire is in trouble."
The two marshals are not fools, how can they be the marshals of the empire are simple people, the two have long thought that the empire is in trouble.
"Your Majesty, since this force of the descendants of the Ming Dynasty no longer chooses forbearance, I estimate that their strength is already very strong, so strong that even the British Empire Navy, which dominates the world, is not afraid. The colonies of the islands of Papua are thousands of miles away from our empire, and our navy is not as strong as the other side, and the imperial navy is not their opponent at all. Personally, I suggest abandoning the colonies of the islands of Papua and befriending this force.
Our troubles may also be an opportunity, an opportunity to develop our Imperial German Navy. On the condition that the Empire would cede the islands of Papua and help them regain their country, they obtained the design drawings of this battleship. As long as we have the blueprints of the battleship, with the powerful industrial capacity of the Empire, we will definitely be able to build the battleship within three years. "Herman. Red spoke his mind.
Wilhelm II did not make a sound, but he was not angry either. Herman. What Red said was the truth, with the current imperial navy is simply not enough to compete with the naval strength of this descendant of the Ming Dynasty, Wilhelm II was very eager to get the blueprints of this battleship, but just gave up the already small colony, Wilhelm II felt very faceless.
"Two marshals, war is not what our empire needs at the moment. Since this group of Ming people no longer chooses forbearance, they may have made the decision to fight our three countries to the end. Since they dared to destroy even the navy of the British Empire, it means that they are no longer afraid of the British Empire.
Imagine that they are not even afraid of the British Empire, which dominates the world, what do we use to fight a naval war with them? The island of Papua is an island, and as long as the navy of this Ming people has enough strength, it is not afraid of our three countries at all. The coachmen of yesteryear have long since fallen, and our German German navy is not strong, in fact, in the end, they have only one enemy, that is, the navy of the British Empire, as long as they defeat the navy of the British Empire, they can declare victory in this war. ”
Field Marshal Hamani nodded, agreeing with Wilhelm II's analysis. This war is fundamentally the protagonist of the navy, the army does not play any role, although Germany has a strong army, but the army cannot swim to fight the descendants of the Ming people. In fact, the war has not yet begun, and the empire has already lost. Besides, they are not even afraid of the mighty empire on which the sun never sets, so what qualifications does the German Empire have to provoke this asymmetrical war?
"Your Majesty, I think the colonies can give it to them, but they must be exchanged for battleship blueprints, and even ask them to help them build a battleship. Claiming to be descendants of men is spending money to buy our colonies, so that the reputation of the empire is not lost. ”
Wilhelm II took a deep breath and thought that the German navy was desperately pressed by the British Empire, and it was difficult to break out of the English Channel. Wilhelm II was very unwilling, always believing that the imperial navy would one day catch up with the British.
"Herman. Marshal Red, please put down all your work and leave for Nanyang tomorrow to deal with this matter. You have the same rights as me on the outside, and you can help the empire make any decisions. But the emperor only has one request, that is, to befriend this group of Ming people, to promise to help them restore the country, and to support their 50,000 army soldiers to attack the Qing Dynasty.
But there is a condition that the blueprints of this battleship must be obtained, and even the empire can pay for the finished battleship they have built. You have only one mission, to use all means, use all the resources of the empire, and make the empire's navy strong as soon as possible. After Wilhelm II finished speaking, he stood up and sighed deeply.
Herman. When Red heard Wilhelm II's words, his lips trembled slightly. As the supreme commander of the German Navy, Hermann. Red wanted the Empire's navy to grow stronger. Just Herman. Red didn't expect His Majesty to give him so much power this time, this may be the most difficult decision made by William since he ascended the throne, right?
"Your Majesty, I will do my best to make the empire get more benefits, and ensure that the empire gets the highest benefits at the lowest cost. The telegram stated that there were two kinds of warships, both of which were of similar displacement, one with eight twin guns, and the other with six twin guns, and I promised to bring back the drawings of both ships. ”
Wilhelm II nodded, then took a step and walked out slowly. Herman. When Red saw the back of His Majesty William, he had a resolute look on his face, his hands clenched into fists, and he vowed in his heart that he would complete this mission well.
