Even close allies inevitably compete with each other, not to mention that China and Germany are at best quasi-allies united by common interests. In the face of Britain and other Allied powers, China and Germany were able to work together to deal with a strong enemy. But once we win, I am afraid that neither China nor Germany will be willing to be subservient.

"Your Excellency, I wonder if we can visit your country's 'Han-class' battleships at the right time?" Crown Prince William said directly. He was very curious about the Chinese Navy's 'Han-class' battleships, or he wanted to know which of the German 'Kaiser-class' battleships was more powerful than the Chinese 'Han-class' battleships. Therefore, even though he knew about the Chinese Navy's secrecy about the 'Han-class' battleships, he still made a somewhat rude request.

"Crown Prince, this is not good!" Prince Heinrich hurriedly said. Although he was also curious, he knew that China took the secrecy of the 'Han-class' battleships very seriously. The later a new type of battleship can be known to the outside world, the more advantageous it is.

Zhang Cheng, Minister of the Chinese Navy, looked a little unsightly, even if Crown Prince William was honorable, he couldn't be strong! Besides, China is not a subordinate of Germany, and there is no need to obey Germany for everything.

"Your Excellency, please don't get me wrong, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is young and speaks without measure, please don't mind!" Prince Heinrich hurriedly said. If Crown Prince Wilhelm's words and deeds are inappropriate and the relationship between China and Germany is damaged, it will be a big problem.

Zhang Cheng, the Minister of the Chinese Navy, nodded, Crown Prince William was not yet twenty years old, and in his eyes, he was a child. Of course he can't take it seriously. It's just that he is still a little dissatisfied with the arrogance of Crown Prince William. He had to admit that Germany played a great role in helping China in the very beginning of the development stage of western Sichuan, or China, especially in the development of the navy. But the current Chinese Navy has long been better than the blue. In addition, China also transferred the design drawings of the 'Zhonghua-class' and 'Qin-class' battleships to Germany, giving the German Navy a chance to lead the British Navy. It's a gratitude!

"Your Royal Highness, if you want to visit the 'Han-class' battleship, it's not impossible. However, the 'Han-class' battleships were just beginning to lay their keels, and there was nothing to see. If His Majesty the Emperor could agree. I would like to invite you to the Admiralty and see the following drawings of the 'Han-class' battleships! Navy Minister Zhang Cheng said. He left the decision to the emperor Wang Yuze, even if Crown Prince William was dissatisfied, he couldn't embarrass him!

"Visiting the drawings? Okay, that's not bad, I'll go and ask the Emperor immediately! Crown Prince William said excitedly, and then immediately walked towards the place where Wang Yuze was.

"Huh?" China's Minister of the Navy, Zhang Cheng, was stunned. This is just his excuse, but he didn't expect that Crown Prince William would really do this, this is the crown prince of a powerful country in the end. Still stunned!

Prince Heinrich of Germany also looked a little unpleasant, and he could have prevented such a situation. In the end, though, he didn't speak. Even himself. For China's 'Han-class' battleships, they are also full of curiosity. For the Chinese Navy. He knows much more than Crown Prince William. He knew that the Chinese Navy's secrecy about the 'Han-class' battleships undoubtedly proved that the role played by the 'Han-class' battleships was also very important, and if it was not done well, they would play an epoch-making role in the history of the Navy's development like the 'Zhonghua-class' battleships. Therefore, he also hoped that although the request made by Crown Prince William was somewhat rude, if the Chinese side could agree, it would be better.

"Your Excellency, Beijing has a long history and many famous attractions, and next to the Xinhua Palace is the Forbidden City, and then there is the Great Wall. In the past few days, you can take a good look at these attractions and enjoy the beautiful scenery of China! Wang Yuze said to Ludwig III with a smile on his face. Ludwig III, who was about to become his father-in-law, of course had to take care of it.

"Thank you Emperor Xià for your kindness, I have been longing for the beauty of China for a long time!" Ludwig III also said with a smile. For his daughter to be able to marry the Chinese emperor Wang Yuze, although he is only one of Wang Yuze's several wives, he is still very satisfied. With China's strong reinforcement, the power of the Bavarian royal family in Germany will also be greatly improved.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I'm sorry to bother you!" A somewhat abrupt voice sounded, and Crown Prince Wilhelm of Germany had already appeared next to Wang Yuze and Ludwig III.

"It's okay, Your Royal Highness, hello!" Wang Yuze greeted with a smile.

"His Royal Highness!" Ludwig III also respectfully greeted Crown Prince Wilhelm.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, that's right, I'm very interested in the 'Han-class' battleships of your navy, and I don't know if I can visit them. However, your Excellency the Lord of the Admiralty says that your consent is required! I don't know, can His Majesty the Emperor meet my little request? Crown Prince William said with a smile.

Wang Yuze's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of displeasure. The 'Han-class' battleship is in full swing under construction. It is expected that it will be two years before it will be able to enter service. At that time, Germany's most advanced 'Caesar-class' battleships will also enter service, and the British Navy's 'Neptune' and 'Giant-class' battleships will also enter service at about that time. The Chinese Navy's 'Han-class' battleships, with their powerful firepower of triple 343 mm guns and their speed advantages, can easily suppress the advanced battleships of these two countries. But if it is exposed in advance, this effect may not be achieved. Wang Yuze was a little dissatisfied with Crown Prince William's rude request. However, he did not blame Zhang Cheng, the Minister of the Navy, he knew that Zhang Cheng must have been forced to kick the ball to him.

Ludwig III also duly kept silent. The Kingdom of Bavaria was nothing more than a state of Germany. He, the future king, is also considered a high authority. However, Germany's military, political and diplomatic affairs have always been determined by the Prussian royal family, which represents the German royal family.

"Your Royal Highness, the 'Han-class' battleship has just started construction, and I am afraid it will take a long time to be completed, and now I can't see anything. In addition, for the sake of secrecy, we do not want to leak the relevant parameters of this class of battleships too early! Wang Yuze said. Although refusal, it will affect the relations between China and Germany, but for the sake of national interests, he still intends to refuse. Besides, in Germany now, Kaiser Wilhelm II is in charge, not Crown Prince Wilhelm!

It's just that Crown Prince William still seems a little unrelenting. "Your Majesty the Emperor, I can't see the real battleship, let's take a look at the drawings, right? I swear in the name of God that I will never leak the relevant parameters of the 'Han-class' battleship! Crown Prince William said sternly.

Encountering such a stunned young man, Wang Yuze was really a little speechless, he had said everything to this point, but Crown Prince William didn't know how to retreat. He really didn't know if Crown Prince William was too low in EQ or pretending to be stupid.

"Well, in that case, I'll explain it to the Admiralty. However, I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be able to keep it secret. If it leaks, it's a problem! Wang Yuze said. In his words, the meaning of the warning is also very obvious, the 'Han-class' battleship can be visited by you, but it will definitely not reveal secrets, otherwise, the relationship between China and Germany will inevitably be affected.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, please rest assured, we will definitely keep it secret. Tomorrow, I hope to be able to see the 'Han-class' battleships tomorrow! Crown Prince William said excitedly.

In this regard, Wang Yuze could only nod. At the same time, the impression of the German crown prince was much worse all of a sudden.

Crown Prince William's request to visit the 'Han-class' battleship was just a small episode at the dinner party, and not many people knew about it. The banquet that night was also a joy for the guests and hosts.

The next day, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China arranged for a special person to take the royal family of the Kingdom of Bavaria to China to visit Beijing and the surrounding areas. Crown Prince Wilhelm and Prince Heinrich, however, were not among them. Early in the morning, they rushed to the Chinese Admiralty.

"Crown Prince, your request last night was a bit too rude, and it will affect our relationship with China!" On the way to the Admiralty, Prince Heinrich reminded him that he was afraid that Crown Prince William would make some unreasonable demands today.

"Uncle, I know. However, not being able to know the relevant parameters of the Chinese' 'Han-class' battleships in advance is also a huge gain for us? Besides, China won't turn its face with us because of such a trivial matter! Crown Prince William said confidently. China can't do without Germany, and Germany is the same, this is his confidence.

Soon, after the two arrived at the Admiralty, they were taken to the office of the Admiralty Minister Zhang Cheng. On Zhang Cheng's desk, a two-meter-long design drawing has been placed, which is the design drawing of the Chinese Navy's cutting-edge battleship, the 'Han-class' battleship. Since Wang Yuze has already agreed, Zhang Cheng naturally has no way to stop it.

"Your Excellency, Lord Admiral, excuse me!" When Crown Prince Wilhelm and Prince Heinrich arrived, they were very polite.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, this is the design blueprint of our country's 'Han-class' battleship. The Han-class battleship has a new code name, we call it the 'Super Battleship'! Minister of the Navy Zhang Cheng introduced.
