PS: The third update is here! The fourth watch is at 11 o'clock! Thank you to the book friend Prince Charming for the monthly pass of the virgin, stone god sky, the deepest darkness, and shimmering shadow!

"Your Excellency, I am sorry about the four 'Helgoran-class' battleships built for your country. Originally, these four 'Helgolan-class' battleships were supposed to be delivered in the first half of this year. However, after studying the international form, the Admiralty decided to speed up the construction of the 'Han-class' battleships, so a large number of workers were transferred from several shipyards, which affected the construction of the four 'Helgolan-class' battleships. Wang Yuze said. Although he said sorry, he had a natural expression on his face. No matter which country it is, it always puts its national interests first. Historically, during World War I, didn't Britain also directly detain the battleships of other countries and integrate them into the British Navy?

"Your Majesty, I can understand that. However, now the 'Han-class' battleships have begun to enter service, and the remaining ones are also in sea trials. So, can the Chinese side now speed up the construction of those four 'Helgoland-class' battleships? Now the situation in Europe is becoming more and more dangerous. The German Navy no longer has superiority at sea! Ambassador August von Klinde said.

"Your Excellency, I don't know exactly what happened. In this case, I'll call Master Zhang, and you can ask him yourself! Wang Yuze said. Then, just like the chief of the guard, Wu Hao made a look, Wu Hao immediately got up and walked towards Zhang Cheng, the Minister of the Navy.

"Thank you!" August von Klinder said hurriedly. He also asked several times to meet with the Minister of the Navy, Zhang Cheng, but Zhang Cheng refused to serve as an officer. Now that Wang Yuze is present, Zhang Cheng must not be able to shirk for any reason!

"See Your Majesty!" After Zhang Cheng arrived, he respectfully saluted Wang Yuze!

Wang Yuze nodded and didn't say anything.

"Hello, Ambassador Clinder. Thank you for attending the commissioning ceremony of the battleship Hangaozu! Zhang Cheng said with a smile.

"Your Excellency the Minister of the Navy, Germany and China have always had a close relationship, and your country's new battleships have entered service, of course we should come to congratulate your country!" Ambassador August von Klinder said. Now, he didn't dare to stand up to the Western powers at all. Although he has only been in China for more than half a year, his impression of China has completely changed. Today's China is no worse than the Western powers. Not even worse than Germany. It's just that in terms of heritage, there is still something missing. However, once China continues to develop rapidly, there is no suspense that this country will become the top storage among the world's great powers!

"Lord Zhang. It was so, Ambassador Klinder asked about the four 'Helgoland-class' battleships that we had built for Germany. Now the situation in Europe is very tense, and our German allies are under tremendous pressure, can the four 'Helgoland-class' battleships be delivered to the German side as much as possible? Wang Yuze asked. Although, the construction of these four 'Helgolan-class' battleships was delayed at the beginning. It was Wang Yuze's personal decision. But in front of other people's ambassadors, you always have to pretend.

Ambassador August von Klinder also looked at Zhang Cheng with a blank eye. Kaiser Wilhelm II gave an order and asked the embassy in China to do everything possible. Get back the four 'Helgoland-class' battleships as much as possible. The German side has already obtained relevant information that the four 'Helgoland-class' battleships have been completed by 90 percent, and if the Chinese side continues to build, sea trials will soon begin. It will be able to be delivered to Germany at the beginning of next year. With four battleships of the 'Helgoland class', the German Navy was able to breathe a sigh of relief!

Zhang Cheng naturally knew that Wang Yuze was making a show. So he said: "Your Majesty, the navy has placed a lot of orders to major shipyards, plus there are also a lot of orders from civilian shipyards, and they are already too busy. Therefore, the four 'Helgoland-class' battleships built for Germany were inevitably affected. I'm very sorry for that! ”

"Your Excellency, Lord of the Navy, haven't your country's 'Han-class' battleships all been completed and begun sea trials? Now it's time to move on to the construction of our four 'Helgoland-class' battleships! Ambassador August von Klinder hurriedly said.

"Your Excellency, the 'Han-class' battleship has indeed been completed. However, we still have six 'Hanshin-class' battlecruisers under construction. In order to speed up the construction of the 'Hanshin-class' battlecruisers, the pressure on the major shipyards below is also very great! Zhang Cheng said. Han Shin-class' fast battleship, advertised to the outside world as a battle cruiser. Because Wang Yuze wanted this battleship, it not only had high speed and powerful firepower, but also had to meet the requirements of a 'Han-class' battleship. Therefore, the construction of the 'Hanshin-class' fast battleships was very difficult, and the Admiralty hoped that the 'Hanshin-class' fast battleships would be able to enter service in two years, so they had to increase the progress by adding construction workers!

Ambassador August von Klinder opened his mouth wide, the Chinese actually want to speed up the construction of six battle cruisers, do the Chinese really believe that a big war will break out soon? The construction of a battlecruiser was more troublesome than that of a battleship. Therefore, Ambassador August von Klinder was very convinced of Zhang Cheng's explanation. But if so, when will Germany be able to accept those four 'Helgoland-class' battleships?

Just when Ambassador August von Klinder was about to despair, Wang Yuze spoke.

"Lord Zhang, if we transfer manpower to continue the construction of those four 'Helgoland-class' battlecruisers, will it have a serious impact on the construction progress of our 'Hanshin-class' battlecruisers?" Wang Yuze asked.

"Your Majesty, although it will cause some impact, it won't be too big!" Zhang Cheng said. Although he didn't know Wang Yuze's intentions, he could only follow Wang Yuze's words.

"Then build four German 'Helgoland-class' battleships first, and strive to deliver them to the German allies at the beginning of next year!" Wang Yuze said!

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll arrange it!" Zhang Cheng nodded.

Ambassador August von Klinder's mood has fallen to hell, but now he has suddenly returned from hell to heaven!

"Thank you very much, Germany will definitely remember China's help!" Ambassador August von Klinder hurriedly said. A lot of things, that's it, it's clear that China broke the agreement first, but now it's the German side that wants to express its gratitude.

"That's what we're supposed to do. Although relations between China and Germany have deteriorated somewhat in recent years, there is no doubt that our two countries have signed a secret agreement after all, and we are allies! Wang Yuze said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I fully agree with your words, China and Germany are allies!" Ambassador August von Klinder said. Auguste von Klinder then thanked him again before taking his leave. He wants to go to the consulate in Tianjin, and first bring this good news to the country!

After Ambassador August von Klinder left, Minister of the Navy Zhang Cheng was a little reluctant to speak. He really didn't understand why China would suddenly let Germany go. You know, if the four 'Helgoland-class' battleships are delivered to Germany, then China will lose the weapons to counter Germany! If Germany drags China back as it did before, then China will have nothing to do. Originally, according to their plan, those four 'Helgoland-class' battleships had to stay on the slipway of the Chinese shipyard for another year or so!

"Isn't it a little difficult to understand why I let the Germans go?" Wang Yuze said.

"His majesty is far-sighted, and his ministers are dull, so naturally he doesn't understand His majesty's far-sightedness!" Zhang Cheng said.

"The situation in Europe is very tense now, and it will not be easy for Germany to lose its maritime superiority and want a big war between Germany and England and France. We delivered to them four 'Helgoland-class' battleships of the German Navy, which was also emboldened by the Germans. In addition, the British will inevitably feel threatened and will speed up the construction of warships. The British invested so much in the navy that they had almost taken out their old capitals. After this war, even if Britain wins the final victory, I am afraid that it will be devastated because of this! The most important thing is that Kaiser Wilhelm II did not come to be a strong-willed man. He has never given up fighting for Britain and wants to ease relations with Britain. Plus Crown Prince Wilhelm and other people who are dissatisfied with China, if we push them into a hurry and push Germany to the side of the British, it will be very bad for us! Wang Yuze said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister knows!" Zhang Cheng nodded.

Subsequently, under the orders of the Admiralty, the progress of the construction of four 'Helgoland-class' battleships for Germany was accelerated, and by October, they were launched for sea trials.

In late February 1905, the officers and men of the navy sent by Germany to receive these four battleships completed the acceptance of the four 'Helgoland-class' battleships and took over the four battleships. On February 28, the four battleships were on their way home with a farewell from the Chinese side. They will return to their home countries and take part in the increasingly fierce rivalry of victory.

It was at this time that Germany announced that Kaiser Wilhelm II would visit Tangier, Morocco, at the end of March, and at the same time welcome four 'Helgoland-class' battleships into service. This time, it can be regarded as a bucket basket.

All strata of France have erupted in opposition to Kaiser Wilhelm II's defense of Morocco, and the French Falier government has made it clear that it demands that Germany stop provoking France, Morocco is France's sphere of influence!
