The Rise of the Empire

History has its huge inertia. Some things will change because of Ruprecht, but some things will continue along the original track. For example, the construction of the German navy will begin sooner or later. Nicholas II who was traveling in Japan was stabbed in the streets of Japan...

　　 "Willie was assassinated by a Japanese yellow-skinned monkey! I really want to know what his mood is now!" Compared to the prince, Prince William, who was relatively leisurely, almost reached the level of at least one letter a week! Even some things that he seems more interesting will be shared with the traveler.

　　 Although the tone is a little joking, after all, Germany and Russia are considered relatives, and Nicholas II is considered William's cousin. William II was still very angry about the fact that Japan invited the Russian crown prince to visit and was assassinated in Japan instead.

　　 The prince has no interest in this kind of things inside the royal house. On the one hand, he already knew the result, and on the other hand, the incident itself had no effect on the prince and Germany. However, if you dig deeper, some of the things inside are worth pondering.

"The British wanted to change the current situation in the Far East. They accelerated their pace and prepared to train Japan to fight against Russia! The growing-up Japan must obtain additional benefits if it wants to develop and grow, and this benefit can only be gained from the decadent Qing Dynasty. Get it on your body.” Prince Ruprecht pointed out the problem sharply in his reply to Prince William!

　　 You know, Nicholas II was the crown prince of Russia. When the crown prince went to Japan, he was accompanied by 7 warships of various kinds! What did the Japanese navy in 1891 have? Although this assassination was a civil act, according to the Russians' ability to find trouble, something went wrong this time, and the responsibility lies with the other party. If you have a good hand, let it go! The British have made great contributions behind the scenes!

If the British helped Japan resolve this crisis, then during the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War Toshima, Japan fought undeclared and attacked the British ship Gao Sheng leased by Beiyang. Later, the British not only did not hold Japan to blame, but made Beiyang compensate. This explains the British attitude even more!

　　 Some people in later generations think that the Japanese government has done a good job of diplomacy, but in fact, everyone knows that this kind of thing depends entirely on how the British do it, and what they want to say! It is true that the Japanese did not declare a war. It was a declaratory act to sunk a British ship without declaring a war. It would not change because of the Qing soldiers on it. After all, the two countries had not yet fought, and the British ship was transported. Qing soldiers are commercial activities.

　　 This is the same as the airstrike on the US frigate Perry by Iraqi aircraft in the subsequent Iran-Iraq War. The result of this incident has little to do with the diplomatic work of the Japanese government. It depends entirely on what the British government thinks.

　　 Take the example of the Kruger telegram again. After the Boers drove out the invaders, British Colonial Secretary Chamberlain immediately threw the pot on January 2 and said that this matter had nothing to do with the British government, and he did not know in advance. The Kaiser sent a telegram on January 4, and the telegram did not specify the name. Your British government said that you did not do it, and the Kaiser did not point to the British government’s nose to curse. Moreover, this matter was considered a political scandal in Europe at the time. I don't know how many people scolded Britain. As a result, Britain turned to Germany. Even Chamberlain admitted in his letter that it was just an excuse to shift the contradiction!

　　 Regarding the prince’s opinion, William II expressed his approval very much. What makes the prince even more unexpected is that the bear child William II does have a high talent in connecting and tinkering! Then he immediately contacted his cousin Nicholas II in a personal name. In addition to greeting each other, he also told each other the prince’s thoughts, and implicitly stated that Germany and Russia should join forces to safeguard the two countries’ relationship. The interests of the Far East!

　　 And when the prince heard about it in William's letter, he was immediately taken aback! Let’s not say that this so-called cooperation already has the intention of forming an alliance. The key is that William II is not the emperor, and Nicholas II is not the czar. Your two heirs directly engage in this kind of thing that directly affects the future policy of the country. Is it good? Looking at the prince himself, in addition to climbing the science and technology tree and making money at ease, he will at most express his own views on internal affairs and diplomacy, and he will never get too deeply involved.

　　 Of course, the prince must give the prince's face. In his reply, Prince Ruprecht only expressed his approval of Prince William’s views, without even saying his support. When the next letter came, the prince was dumbfounded!

"In March next year, the Munich-class armored cruiser Mainz will be completed at the Brom-Forth Shipyard. The imperial government has invited the Russian crown prince Nicholas II to attend the ceremony. And this time I will also go to the ceremony. , You go too..." When the prince saw this letter, he was shocked!

"I rub, what do you mean? You two royal heirs play by yourself, and I have a half-cent relationship with me! Besides, this visit to Germany by the Russian crown prince should be a secret, so you tell me it is really okay When did we get close to this level?" The prince murmured wildly in his heart.

　　 "No, I have to push this matter first! This is a diplomatic leak, right?" The prince really didn't want to get involved with these things. When I was thinking about how to shirk it, my cheap dad helped me solve it!

"Next year's service ceremony for the armored cruiser Mainz, you go. The German royal family and the Russian royal family will invite the princes of the two countries to go together. It is good to meet you and face you." Dad's words let the prince. 'S completely speechless!

　　 "This William II really deserves to be the one who can get rid of Bismarck, this courage, this method is too powerful!" If it is a simple private invitation, Ruprecht will naturally not go. But if the official invitation is sent through the family, it is different. The crown princes of the two royal families invite you to meet, can you not go? If you don't go, your family will also go with you! This is not a personal issue, it is a political stance! As for the current prince, since he can't resist, he can only face it!

　　 "Count you cruel," the prince said in his heart. But if you think about it carefully, since the political issues I'm worried about are gone, it's not bad to be able to meet the two emperors in the future, at least how many ships can I sell after I have a good relationship with the Russians. Think about how many ships Russia built before the Russo-Japanese War, and the French and Americans earned so many golden rubles from the Russians. The travellers are excited! The Russians have always been willing to spend money on armaments, whether it was Tsarist Russia, the Soviet Union or later Russia...

　　 No one is having trouble with money, and the prince who has figured it out is also preparing for his burger trip!
