"Yes, Minister, I fully agree. Germany has created world-renowned achievements in industry. And we in China still have a long way to go!" Xiong Wu said. We have to admit that Germany's industrial strength is very strong.
It is enviable. If China had such strength, it would probably be enough to defeat Britain and dominate the world.
"However, the development of the Chinese navy is very rapid. Your navy has won two consecutive naval battles. In terms of naval combat experience, it has become far ahead of our country. At the same time, the 'Chinese-class' battleship you designed,
Very good! It can be called the most powerful battleship in the world!" Tirpitz brought the topic to the battleship.
"Minister has given me a great award. We have only designed such a battleship because we have gained some inspiration in the naval battle. If Germany had such experience, it would have probably designed a more powerful one.
The battleship is here!" Xiong Wu said, which was considered a flatterer for Tirpitz.
Tirpitz nodded, as if he thought Xiong Wu's office was correct. The German Navy is a teacher of the Chinese Navy. Now the students have designed more powerful battleships. If it were Germany, they could have two large-scale naval battles.
With experience, I'm afraid that the epoch-making battleship has been designed, so where is China's turn?
"Mr. Minister, I heard that the UK is also conducting relevant research. With the British background, they should be able to design new battleships soon. And, with the British shipbuilding strength, Germany wants to be in the navy.
It may be very difficult to catch up with Britain!" Xiong Wu smiled at the corner of his mouth.
A hint of displeasure flashed in Tirpitz's eyes. However, he knew that what Xiong Wu was saying was true. Even if Germany could build a new battleship first through its relationship with China, if Britain drove at full speed, Germany would
It is almost impossible to catch up with Britain.
"Mr. Minister, I have a suggestion that may be useful to Germany!" Xiong Wu said.
"Oh? What suggestions?" Tirpitz asked.
"His Excellency Minister, our country has built a large number of shipyards. Although these shipyards are now building civilian ships. But if your navy needs it, we can build warships for your country. And the British would not know!
"Xiong Wu said.
Tirpitz's eyes lit up and suddenly realized that this was a very good method. Germany and Britain were too close to each other. Britain knew exactly what Germany had to do. For Germany's naval development, Britain has always been
Fighting back with a tough attitude. Often, Germany will build two or more battleships when it builds a battleship. Under such circumstances, Germany will not be able to catch up with Britain at all, and will be widened. However, the Chinese
Does the shipyard have this capability?
Perhaps because he noticed Tirpitz's doubts, Xiong Wu said: "Mr. Minister, during the construction of the warship, Germany can send special personnel to inspect it. And secretly send naval soldiers to receive the warships. In this way, it can The strength of your country's navy has increased exponentially. As for the quality of warships, the Minister can rest assured. my country's shipyard has developed to this day, and it is enough to build new battleships. The "Chinese-class" battleships we designed and built by ourselves, Isn’t that the best proof?”
"His Excellency Chief of Staff, I will discuss the feasibility of this plan with His Majesty the German Emperor. Thank you very much for your help to the German Navy!" Tirpitz said excitedly. The method proposed by Xiong Wu is undoubtedly pointing out to the German Navy.
A shortcut. A shortcut that allows the German Navy to truly catch up with the British Navy. If the British side still adds one battleship with the German Navy, the British Navy will add two. When a large number of German battleships are built in China, and
After returning to China, the British will undoubtedly be stunned. At that time, the German Navy will have enough strength to challenge the British Navy.
"Hiss Minister, our two countries have the same interests. To help Germany is helping China!" Xiong Wu said with a smile.
"Haha! That's right, we have a consistent interest!" Tirpitz seemed very happy.
When the train arrived in Potsdam, it was already 5 o'clock in the afternoon. After leaving the train station, Tirpitz accompanied Xiong Wu to the palace in Potsdam. Emperor William II of Germany was already waiting for Xiong Wu in the banquet hall of the palace.
During Xiong Wu's visit to Germany, William II attached great importance to it. He specially convened German nobles and important officials to hold this dinner, including Crown Prince Friedrich William and Prime Minister Hornlohe Hirlingsfester
, Chief of Staff, Earl Alfred von Schrieffin, Prince Heinrich, William II's confidant Moltke, as well as important members of the German and political circles.
"See Your Majesty the Emperor of Germany, on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of Our country, I would like to express my highest respect to His Majesty the Emperor of Germany!" After arriving at the Potsdam Palace and meeting William II, Xiong Wu conveyed Wang Yuze's greetings to William II.
"Hisser Duke, welcome your arrival!" William II said with a smile. When the Chinese Empire was founded, Xiong Wu was granted the title of Duke of the Empire. However, the hierarchy after the founding of the Empire was not strict, and the Empire's
These new nobles did not attach as much importance to titles as Europeans.
"Thank you His Majesty!"
"Hisser Duke, let me introduce you. This is the Crown Prince of the German Empire, Friedrich William." William II enthusiastically introduced Xiong Wu.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I am very happy to see you!"
"Welcome to Germany!"
"This is His Excellency Hornloe Hirlingsfist, the Prime Minister of the Empire. This is Earl of Alfred von Schrieffer, this is Prince Heinrich, and this is General Moltke.
, His uncle was Helmut Carl Bernhardt von Moltch, Marshal of the Empire." William II continued to introduce.
Xiong Wu met these German officials one by one. If it were Wang Yuze here, he would definitely exclaim these German great men. Schriefen was a great military strategist who formulated the "Schriefen Plan" to defeat France. If it weren't for Xiao Mao's time in the war
If Qi modified the "Schriefen Plan", perhaps Germany had defeated France in World War I and won the victory. As for Moltke, as William II's confidant, he was also an extremely powerful man. His uncle Maoqi
, However, the actual organization and commander of the defeat of the Austrian and French forces in the Prussian War and the French War made great contributions to the unification of Germany and the rise of Germany.
Afterwards, the grand dinner began. Although Xiong Wu did not like this kind of banquet, it was difficult to let go of the kindness, and he also felt the enthusiasm of Germany. During this period, important German figures came to talk to Xiong Wu one after another, especially the Minister of the Navy.
Erpitz has always been by Xiong Wu's side.
"His Excellency Duke, your country performed very well in the Battle of Shanhaiguan three years ago. Its advantage of firepower such as artillery and heavy machine guns was very obvious. I think, can our German Army send an exchange team?
Go to China and start exchanges with your country?" Earl Schriefen, the chief of staff of the German General Staff, walked over with a wine glass.
"Of course, China welcomes the arrival of your exchange team!" Xiong Wu said. Of course, he knew Schriefenber's meaning. After the victory of the French-Prussian War, although the German army was still called the world's number one, they no longer experienced the battle.
It is very important for a military power like Germany to know the development trends of the war in a timely manner. It will not be long before China will fight the Pacific Alliance. At that time, it will not only be wars at sea, but also on land
The above faces the war between Russia and Japan. Germany sent a military exchange team to China, which was just right for observation of the battlefield.
"Hisser Duke, our navy is also planning to send exchange teams. The Chinese navy cannot hide its weaknesses at that time!" Tirpitz also took the opportunity to say. If the German army may have an advantage in front of the Chinese army, then the German navy is here to face it.
When it comes to the Chinese Navy, there is no obvious advantage, and we should even learn from the Chinese Navy.
"On behalf of the Emperor of the Empire, I welcome this!" Xiong Wu said with a smile.
"Everyone, why are you so happy to talk about?" At this time, William II also came over.
"Your Majesty!" Xiong Wu, Schriefenber and Tirpitz all hurriedly greeted William II.
"Your Majesty, we are talking about the military exchange team that is preparing to send a military exchange team to China!" said Schriffimber.
"Oh? That's right. Germany and China have close ties, and it is very necessary to strengthen military exchanges!" said William II.
Everyone else nodded repeatedly.
"His Excellency Duke, now, Russia, Japan and the United States have formed a Pacific alliance, and Britain and France are also eager to try. According to our speculation, the war may break out within two or three years. I want to know if China has won the battle.
Where is the confidence in war?" William II asked. A China finally appeared and could share the pressure from Germany. He did not want China to be destroyed.
"His Majesty the German Emperor, please rest assured. Although the enemy is very powerful, the Empire is confident of winning the final victory. However, the Empire needs the help of Germany!" Xiong Wu said.
"Of course, Germany will provide China with the best of its ability! Germany sincerely hopes that China can win the war. As long as China can win this victory, the entire Far East will become China's sphere of influence." William II immediately
Speaking. However, in his heart, he thought that China possessed Asia, so the world belonged to Germany. Germany was very willing to see China and Germany's opponents such as Britain, France and Russia fight to the death. In this way, Germany will have a chance to fisherman
