"Today's second update will be later. Zhao, William II said very unhappily: "Damn it! Why do Chinese people look like prophets? They occupy the leading position and commanding heights everywhere. I always feel like they are walking in the trap they have designed. No, they are leading by their nose!"

Tilberts was deeply touched by this, but it was not as strong as William II.

Tilberts replied: "Perhaps because the East was originally a mysterious country. As early as ten years ago, when the Empire built the Pearl Harbor Naval Base for China, we were still mocking the Chinese for being extravagant. Why did they build a large 50,000-ton dock, and even the floating dock are 30,000-ton."

William II said embarrassedly: "Hey, at that time we were just trying to mock the Chinese as a fat sheep with only money. I didn't expect that today I knew how foresighted they were!"

"Your Majesty", Tilberts asked: "Now we have come to the insider news in advance. The Chinese Navy Shipyard has begun to lay the keels of new battleships! This class of ships has been classified as Beijing class. According to the warship design drawings, the Beijing-class battleship will completely suppress the British Orion-class battleships and lion-class battleships, and the effect is equivalent to the impact of the Chinese previous battleships and the previous battleships Tianquan class on the UK!"

William II said jealously: "It's really strange? Why can China always walk in front of the empire? I know that the Chinese are leading our noses, but we have to leave!"

Tilberts replied: "Looking at the events of China's birth over the past decade, the Chinese emperor Zhang Yunfei seems to have a prophetic feeling for us! Of course, the explanation that translates into scientific explanation is that Zhang Yunfei has very strong strategic ideas and political vision. He can make the right direction for China and take the most convenient path."

Seeing William II's bad face and knowing his fault, Tilberts hurriedly said: "Of course, Chinese people have always liked speculation, and our empire depends on strength! Compared with His Majesty, Zhang Yunfei is simply a starry sky with bright moon, and it is not worth mentioning."

Even though he knew Tilberts was complimenting himself, William II was still much more comfortable.

Asked: "Since the Emperor and Qin government came to power, China has expanded rapidly, and its industrial capacity has increased significantly, and its national strength has increased day by day! Although it is still impossible to compare with the empire, what will happen in ten years and twenty years? You should know that the empire has only been more than ten years of becoming the number one industrial power in Europe. No matter how stupid the Chinese are, they will become an industrial power within twenty years!"

Tilberts wanted to order the next German warship from China, but he could not go against William II's temper, so he could only slowly follow him and gradually lead his thoughts back.

Then he replied: "Your Majesty China's rise is unstoppable! As Napoleon said, China's elephant has awakened and no longer allowed others to bully. Judging from the current Far East situation, China's rise will inevitably impact the interests of Britain's Asian state! In fact, the time of the rise of the empire was the time of China's Westernization Movement. China and us are both the same. The new empire that rose together in the era will aim to impact the sphere of influence of old empires such as Britain, France and Russia."

Tilberts continued: "Now, the ten-year economic exhibition of Emperor Qin China has filled the catastrophe of the Qing Dynasty's Westernization Movement! They are no longer weak, and their current rest and recuperation is just China showing weakness. They are like us, waiting for the opportunity!"

William II shook his head and said, "They are not just waiting for the opportunity, but creating the opportunity. The Babu Empire defeated Britain, and then they took advantage of the situation to rob it."

"Your Majesty is right!" Tilberts said: "There is another point that the Chinese used to use the British power to eliminate threats around China. Now that China has defeated Japan and Russia, the Ran Bian threat no longer exists. Now, China is not as harmonious as the British on the surface!"

"Why?" William II.

"Your Majesty!" Tilberts replied: "Now China abolished all unequal treaties signed by the previous dynasty, expelled all the great powers from China and re-concluded the treaty. However, the treaty with Britain seemed equal on the surface, but in fact it was still a treaty that would lose money. At the same time, China secretly encouraged Australia to leave the Commonwealth, and the British were already very dissatisfied! Not long ago, the ban on smoking in China caused Britain to suffer heavy losses in the world. Therefore, China-UK relations are no longer an offensive country, and both sides are just not breaking apart. Because the British want to deal with us with all their might, they temporarily relax sanctions against China."

William II nodded and said, "What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, China and Britain are now in harmony, and we can attract China as foreign aid! Although the Chinese Navy is only ranked fifth in the world, its combat effectiveness is not worse than that of the British Navy. Once Germany and China join forces, Britain's defeat is just around the corner!"

Tilberts' words surprised William II, thinking that William II's dissatisfaction with China has always made him ignore these key issues.

The enemy of the enemy is a friend. Once China is pulled into the allies, not only will the balance in Europe be broken, but the balance of the entire world be broken.

In the eyes of all powerful countries, China can only be defeated, but cannot be conquered. On the other hand, China's huge strategic depth and population make China invincible forever.

Let me ask, an enemy that will never be conquered will become a nightmare for the British.

Tilberts said: "Your Majesty, the country is nothing more than interests! The current situation in the Far East is actually very obvious. China's expansion momentum has stopped because they have hit the Arctic Ocean! The Chinese are obviously unwilling to go west because it is too close to Europe, and the Chinese do not have the ability and voice to interfere in European affairs. To the east is the United States on the east coast of the Pacific, and the Chinese cannot chew. To the south is China's traditional control area, Southeast Asia. However, Southeast Asia is now occupied by Britain, France and the Netherlands. Since China has secretly tampered with Australia, its momentum of going south will soon begin!"

William II nodded and said, "It is said that China has established a regime of the Republic of Lanfang and is competing with the Netherlands for the East Indies!"

"That's right!" Tilberts replied: "So, China will inevitably have conflicts with Britain, France and the Netherlands in the future! The empire has withdrawn from the Far East and now there is no fundamental conflict of interest with China. Therefore, if our policies are appropriate, it is entirely possible to replace Britain and become an ally of China! Even if we cannot become an ally, letting China isolate Britain, it is also beneficial to our empire.

Although China and Britain have many internal conflicts at this moment, they are still an alliance military group. Once the war breaks out between Britain and Germany, the German high seas fleet will not only face the British Royal Navy, but also face the threat of the Chinese Royal Navy.

The Germans are not afraid of the British navy. Because the British navy has not had experience in large-scale naval warfare for half a century, the gap has narrowed from the German navy in terms of military source quality. However, the Chinese navy is different. This navy has fought from the last century to this. In the century, the victory of several consecutive large-scale naval battles is the only strong navy in the world. The British navy cannot stand up to it. Therefore, the Germans are even more afraid of the Chinese navy!

"Then do you mean?" William II.

Tilberts said: "Your Majesty, China is actually developing so fast because China is good at absorbing and learning from the technology and experience of powerful countries. Take the Chinese Navy for example. What they absorb is not only the technology and experience of the British, but also the oxygen-making equipment used in our country, Italy, the United States, and France. Even the oxygen-making equipment used in their submarines is known to the Russians. Unfortunately, the Russians do not have submarines, but were slaughtered by the Chinese submarine forces! At present, the world's naval technologies are diverse, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. The naval technologies of each country are different, and the most fatal thing is that they will never interact with each other. Britain will not build warships for us and France, but we will not share them with each other, regardless of their strengths and weaknesses. The Fengguo Navy is different. Their navy absorbs the experience of each country and transforms it into its own use. This is why the Chinese Navy is famous for today's "Invincible Fleet".

If the Empire seeks advice from China, then the Empire's Navy will take many fewer turns

William II nodded and said, "I agree with you, but will the Chinese give us technology?"

Tilberts smiled and said, "Didn't you see the true purpose of the Chinese? Zhang Yunfei gave us the design blueprint for battle cruisers many years ago. The Chinese themselves don't have such powerful weapons. But they gave them to us first. This shows that Zhang Yunfei seems to be deliberately supporting the German Navy! If there were no battleships and battle cruisers provided to us by Zhang Yunfei, we would be in a very passive position when the British launched the Battleship Fearless! From this, we can see that although Zhang Yunfei was hiding evil intentions, he undoubtedly wanted to help us!"

Then he sighed: "As for his purpose, I initially guessed that we should restrain Britain. However, I have to admire his foresight. When he was very weak, he was already thinking about how to defeat the British!"

William II said: "You are right! Although Zhang Yunfei is not kind, he still doesn't want us to be overwhelmed by Britain!"

Then he said: "Then tell me how to absorb the technology and experience of the Chinese Navy? Continue to send overseas students? Or introduce their technology?"

When Tilberts saw William II turning around, he immediately said happily: "It is necessary to send overseas students, but the introduction of technology is difficult! Even if the Chinese can transfer it to us under the pressure of the UK, they will not sell technology. Instead, they will exchange money with us through arms sales!"

William II said: "Are you buying a Beijing-class battleship quietly built by the Chinese?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Tilberts said: "I have seen the export version of the Beijing-class battleship, which fully agrees with the Imperial Navy's shipbuilding requirements, and can suppress the British Orion-class battleships and Lion-class battleships! Once we build in China, we not only solve the empire's current urgent needs, but also give us time to transform and upgrade the dock, but we can also directly absorb Chinese technology and build the next-class battleships to lead the United Kingdom!"

Thinking of the British Navy's huge shipbuilding plan, William II now knows that Germany will not be able to compete in a short period of time, so it becomes the best choice to get enough ships to China. No, it should be the only choice!

"Okay!" William II nodded in agreement and said, "Then you discuss with China. It would be best if you can win them over!"

Did William II win over Britain into the ally? It is naturally understandable to win over China now!

Subsequently, the German Navy sent a specialist to China to negotiate the acquisition of new battleships and battle cruisers. In fact, Tilberts had long reached a consensus with the senior officials of the Navy. As the Minister of the Navy, he naturally would not want the German Navy to be passed by the British Navy. However, due to insufficient preparations, Germany did not estimate that the tonnage of naval warships would become larger and larger, and the caliber of the main gun.

The German naval dock capacity was not enough to build battleships of 30,000 tons or above, and the caliber of the German main gun had just been increased to an inch of the mouth, so it was impossible to compete with the British main gun in a short time. Therefore, the German Navy could only seek overseas channels.

Since the Gemini-class battleships purchased by the German Navy in China gave Germany a very good impression, when Germany obtained the drawings of China's export-type Beijing-class battleships, it was believed that they were tailor-made for Germany.

Therefore, the German Admiralty has agreed to purchase Chinese-class battleships and improved foreign trade battlecruisers to fight against the Orion-class battleships and Lion-class battlecruisers that have just been launched in the water.

When William II nodded in agreement, the German Admiralty, which was already ready, immediately allocated funds to order battleships and battle cruisers from China.

After the German Navy's First Pen Battleship was booked into the China Navy Shipyard account, the Chinese Subic Navy Shipyard Lixuan started construction of four Beijing-class battleships with foreign trade-type king-class battleships.

The King-class battleship is a foreign trade type of the Beijing-class battleship. Considering the tonnage and length limitations of the German naval ports, the King-class battleship has become a reduced version of the Beijing-class battleship. In terms of displacement, the King-class battleship has only the full load of the King-class battleship, which is 4 less than the Beijing-class battleship. It is more than ten thousand tons of tons than the British Orion-class battleship. In terms of length, it has been reduced from more than two hundred meters to a very small amount, mainly because the German naval repair dock is not long enough to provide maintenance for four-meter-long battleships, so this is the most important factor in determining the King-class tonnage.

Considering that the Germans' current fuel reserves are insufficient, and using steam turbines will occupy a lot of space and tonnage. If coal is used blindly, the degree of the King-class battleship will be reduced to a level, and it will not be able to compete with the Orion-class flight induction.

According to the requirements of the German Navy, even if the height of ten thousand knots cannot be like that of the Beijing-class battleship, the British level of induction must be maintained. Therefore, after argumentation, the General Administration of Naval Engineering of China decided to use a butterfly carbon fuel hybrid system for the King-class battleship, which increased the degree, reduced the storage space of the media carbon, and ensured the navigation of induction. At the same time, once Germany's fuel reserves are improved, it can be easily upgraded to a fuel system.

In terms of firepower, the King-class battleship originally used Chinese-made inch main guns. However, in the end, the German Navy believed that Germany currently does not have a production line of femto-caliber ammunition and cannot rely on China to provide ammunition! Therefore, the German Navy finally finalized that the King-class battleship adopts the German active port and inch caliber. However, this is obviously much worse than the British Orion-class and driving inch caliber. After the final agreement between China and Germany, it is recommended to increase the King-class main gun to the Tian dial to balance the British Von Bidial main gun.

Germany uses a trunk main gun to achieve domestic supply. At the same time, because the British Orion-class armor protection is only trunk, the trunk main gun shell with increased diameter power can still penetrate the armor of the Orion-class battleship. Therefore, the Germans gave up China's trunk main gun and modified the trunk main gun.

Although the King level is slightly insufficient in firepower against the Orion level, the saved tonnage can package the King level into a turtle shell. In terms of armor defense, the King level has reached the terrifying 8-inch Chinese lattice reinforced armor, which can resist the British main artillery shells, making the King level invincible when fighting against the Orion level.

At the same time, in order to compete with the British lion-class battlecruiser, the Chinese Navy reduced some armor to imitate the Tianquan-class battlecruiser, and changed it to a battlecruiser. China officially named the Sea Dragon King-class battlecruiser.

The Dragon King-class battlecruiser, like the Beijing-class battleship, only reduced the armor weight. Since Chinese warships have been fully equipped with oil-fired boilers, with the efficient swing of steam turbines, the warships' sailing is much better than the British warships that use butterfly and kerosene hybrid power. Therefore, the Gaoyan brought by the Dragon King-class battlecruiser reached 30 knots, becoming the most terrifying battleship at that time.

However, like the King-class battleship, the Germans could not afford the huge fuel battle patrol, so the German Admiralty still allowed the use of butterfly oil hybrid boilers.

For this reason, the General Administration of Naval Engineering had to lose weight for the Dragon King-class battle cruiser again, and changed it to an export-type German battle cruiser... Deflinger-class.

In March of the year, four Deflinger-class battlecruisers started construction at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard in Hawaii. The reduced version of the Dragon King-class battlecruiser still shows its huge deterrence and combat effectiveness.

Deflinger-class battle cruiser, displacement of Youzhongtun, Duzhujie, 4 double-continuous loading double-diameter main gun "wrapped single-mounted Feng Bidiameter Jiuying sub-vargent gun, and an old 7-inch underwater torpedo tube. Various performance data comprehensively suppress the British Lion-class battle cruiser.

From then on, with the help of the Chinese government, Britain intended to use its large local shipbuilding industry to suppress the German navy's intention to declare bankruptcy. With the help of the Chinese naval shipbuilding industry, Germany allowed the German navy to survive the difficult naval "dead period". After that, the German Navy immediately upgraded and renovated the German shipyard and informed the construction of a larger shipbuilding dock and repair dock to cope with the arrival of the fearless era of the world's naval naval.
