Thirteen years to build a navy that is the world's largest tonnage almost from scratch? In Lin Haijiang's view, the appetite of the Germans is really too great, and it is almost a common problem of the Germans to be ambitious, and a nation known for its rigor, truth-seeking, and earnestness has such a contradictory and unrealistic common problem, which really makes Lin Haijiang very puzzling.

If you have money, you can build warships, but who can guarantee that you will be able to train excellent commanders? Otherwise, how could the Centennial Navy only say that its success is just taking advantage of the replacement of ships in the era of sail warships, and to put it bluntly, it is just a fluke.

Lin Haijiang noticed that if Germany was reckless, it would be tantamount to stimulating the whole of Europe to enter the arms race, and this was the last thing Lin Haijiang wanted to see, after all, the Germans' family background was too thin compared with the British, and the phrase of building the world's No. 1 tonnage navy was a bit of a dragon palace treasure and a big knife in front of the Guandi Temple, but Lin Haijiang still admired the courage of the Germans very much.

Moltke's generosity made Lin Haijiang suddenly amazed, Lin Haijiang understood very well that the actions of the British had stimulated the ambition and crisis consciousness of the Germans, but what Lin Haijiang did not understand was that this German naval expansion plan, which was even more reckless than himself, was contrary to the mainland policy that Bismarck had always advocated. Was Moltke able to convince Bismarck to agree to the plan? Obviously this is impossible!

Lin Haijiang remembered that in history, when Britain built dreadnoughts in 1906, Germany at that time passed the third naval act again to build dreadnoughts. In 1908, Britain had eight dreadnoughts, while Germany had seven, making it the world's second naval power.

It can be said that the construction of dreadnoughts is a crazy plan of the British, dragging the whole of Europe into an arms race, the Germans are even more reckless in building warships, trying to surpass Britain in the navy, suppressing Russia and France in the army, as a result, the Germans are indeed close to the British Royal Navy in terms of warship tonnage, but they do not have the quality and quality of the British Royal Navy, and finally failed, on the other hand, Germany's huge investment in the navy has relatively reduced the military expenditure of its army, The British plan, like the Star Wars program of the Americans in later generations, dragged the Soviet Union into a bottomless black hole of the arms race.

This is Germany's established national policy, Lin Haijiang knows that he can't involve and interfere too much, otherwise it will have the opposite effect, and the most important thing is that Lin Haijiang is more of a reckless master than the Germans, but Lin Haijiang feels that the loss of the secret drawings of the Hamburg shipyard seems to be the beginning of a large conspiracy, and the calm Europe at the moment is actually an undercurrent in private.

A large part of the secret treaty signed by Lin Haijiang with Germany is about the exchange of technology, materials, minerals and other related aspects, and Germany hopes that the Chinese Empire can allow them to send people to the Chinese Imperial Scientific Research Agency, the holy place in their minds, to learn nuclear technology exchanges, and the Science and Technology Agency can be said to be the lifeblood of Lin Haijiang, because a large number of ship drawings and advanced concepts are proposed by Lin Haijiang himself by virtue of memory, and then handed over to the Scientific Research Agency for practical theoretical and practical work. Then, after a lot of data demonstration and improvement, the scientific research bureau finally put forward a plan, if the Germans intervened, the Germans would soon discover this secret, because Lin Haijiang had been claiming to the scientific research department that these materials came from a secret research group of the high command.

However, Lin Haijiang's refusal was naturally expected by the Germans, who were not prepared to participate in the so-called research and development at all, and their goal was to use Germany's strong industrial base to provide the help needed by the Chinese Empire, so as to achieve the purpose of practical sharing of science and technology.

After all, at the beginning of the cooperation between the Chinese Empire and Germany, it was all relying on its technological advantages, and the technology of the Chinese Empire and Germany's manufacturing capabilities were perfectly coordinated, and more advanced weapons with greater power would be manufactured in a steady stream.

Even if there are results in research and development, there must be Bole, otherwise the process of waiting for science and technology or invention to form productivity or combat effectiveness can be described as very long.

Just like the predecessor of the historical Rheinmetall company in 1879 and Krupp cooperated to develop a tube retreat field gun, but due to the lack of orders, until the First World War, this after several simple improvements was named the 1912 type 75 mm field gun was mass-produced and installed in the German army, and it is precisely because of Lin Haijiang's deliberate attention and selection that a large number of advanced designs will be discovered in advance and put on the stage, in the application of science and technology or the design of weapons, In fact, many times designers only need a flash of inspiration, for example, when Maxine designed the machine gun, he considered whether the recoil could help the weapon to complete the task of continuous fire, etc.

Lin Haijiang ordered large machine tools and the latest large-scale 10,000-ton hydraulic press and hydraulic press equipment in Germany, these equipment is indispensable equipment for the construction of large-tonnage ships, a large part of these equipment in the Chinese Empire has not yet been able to meet the domestic standard, about this Lin Haijiang is a little depressed, including open hearth and blast furnace, Lin Haijiang has been introduced in sets, it can be said that Lin Haijiang is ready to use a lot of money in a short period of time to achieve the industrialization of the Chinese Empire, Lin Haijiang knows that he has to do a lot, but he himself is really weak.

It can be said that the cooperation between China and Germany is very important for both the Chinese Empire and Germany, both countries are newly rising countries, both lack of reliability in international strategy, there is no conflict of interest, and they can complement each other in the fields of technology, military and industry.

This trip to Europe was able to sign a secret agreement with the newly rising Germany in Europe, which was a great success in itself, but Lin Haijiang was not very happy about this success, because Lin Haijiang had expected that his alliance with Germany would have two or two results, the first was to defeat the Entente in the world war, and China re-emerged in the East, and the second was to be dragged down and defeated, pay huge reparations and even lose Southeast Asia and the Indochina Peninsula, the first result was acceptable to Lin Haijiang, The second result was worse than death for Lin Haijiang.

On the train back to Marseille, Lin Haijiang seriously reflected on the biggest gain of his trip to France, before the pros and cons of the alliance with Germany, Lin Haijiang had already repeatedly considered all aspects, it can be said that the choice of the Chinese Empire is very small, and it can even be said that there is basically no choice, in Europe the Chinese Empire has only a lot of enemies, and the ally is only one Germany, but the Germans' reckless military force made Lin Haijiang feel afraid!

Tokugawa Sakurako sat silently opposite Lin Haijiang, she was now completely fascinated by the man opposite her, a man who dared to punch his opponent at the coronation ceremony of an imperial emperor, although Lin Haijiang's performance was a little rude and ungraceful, and even detrimental to diplomatic etiquette, but Tokugawa Sakurako also admitted that Lin Haijiang's approach was indeed very happy.

In the rhythm of the train, during Lin Haijiang's sleep, Tokugawa Sakurako carefully put on a coat for Lin Haijiang, what the Germans provided to Lin Haijiang was actually an almost magnificent special train car, four of the nine carriages were the so-called armored car skins, and the special train was driven by two locomotives in front of the front and one behind, but in order to be able to take away all his guard troops at one time, Lin Haijiang chose two ordinary carriages, rather than heavy and luxurious special train carriages.

At the same time, in the Forbidden City of Gyeonggi, the political core of the Qing Dynasty, Prince Gong Yixin sat in the cold Qianqing Palace and felt very uncomfortable. This change is something that I didn't dare to think about before, the carbon of the Qianqing Palace has always been a first-class high-grade charcoal, and the sophistication of the materials is second to none in the tribute carbon, from the first day of the winter solstice to burn the earth dragon, to the day of the beginning of the spring to stop using, the huge earth dragon burns intermittently for five hours every day, and a winter down is 140,000 taels of silver charcoal, for the Qing Dynasty, 140,000 taels is just a small meaning, after the eunuchs outside the palace get up and down, it has become more than 200,000 taels, and now the court is out of money, Naturally, the charcoal fire was broken, but no one cared about carbon or not.

It can be said that Yixin received a very special piece of information today, that is, a news revealed by the foreign bank, the German Empire defeated France and re-emerged from Europe, Kaiser Wilhelm I held a grand coronation ceremony in Versailles in France, inviting representatives of almost all European kingdoms to attend, and the rebel Lin Haijiang, the head of the Chinese Empire, was also invited to the Palace of Versailles in France to watch the ceremony.

For this reason, Yixin was furious, almost angry, and his face was pale, even so, Yixin still prepared his court clothes and prepared to go to the Qianqing Palace to meet immediately, the main reason why Prince Gong Yixin was actually angry was why Lin Cheng had already set off for March Youyu, and he actually knew that Lin Yi was going to Europe? How could the intelligence response of the Great Qing Kingdom be so slow and slow? It's so sluggish and slow that it's unbearable.

Yixin, who is Prince Gong, is even a little frustrated about this, and this time the Kaiser only invited the Chinese Empire but not the Qing Dynasty, which made Yixin feel a little chilled!
