The Rise of the Empire

　　 "Aren't you going to smash a champagne bottle in the bow of the boat?" Ruprecht asked carefully.

"His Royal Highness, that was a launching ceremony. Baron Vittorio had already knocked champagne for you a year ago. This is a service ceremony?" Earl Schelling said bitterly. Since quarreling with the Russians, thanks Earl Lin feels that his master is completely out of shape!

　　 "Tell me about the following event schedule." The prince rolled his eyes and asked.

　　 "You just sit here and wait until the admiralty has named the warship, and then Prince William and the Prince of Russia will review the officers and soldiers, and then the captain will arrange for the officers and soldiers to board the ship. The service ceremony is over."

"What you really need to care about is the subsequent visit. Senior officers from both sides will participate in this cutting-edge warship and have lunch in the officer's restaurant. You and the two princes will meet. You should know the content of the meeting." Earl Schelling Reminded.

　　 "Oh, I see, before doing business, I just need to be a passerby first, and then have a meal. Not bad, it's easy." The prince said depressed. I was afraid of trouble, so I rejected the speech arranged by Prince William and let Baron Vittorio go. It's better now, I'm so relaxed.

During Ruprecht’s time as an audience, Prince William gave a passionate speech, stating that it took only 2 years for the armored cruiser Mainz to put down the first keel to complete its service. This speed It is unprecedented, the Brom-Fuchs Shipyard and the Bavarian Ship Design Bureau have completed a miracle in industrial history! The continuous service of the Munich-class armored cruiser will inevitably enhance the ocean-going combat capability of the Imperial Navy. The future is bright, everyone work hard!

　　 Then the Russian crown prince appeared on the stage. Compared to a bunch of nonsense by the German crown prince, the content of Nicholas's words is somewhat intriguing! In the speech, the Russian crown prince made no secret of his anger towards that small country in the Far East. The deep scar on his face twitched with the contraction of facial muscles.

"On the other side of the earth, a dwarf who has not yet entered into a civilized society holds a short knife in his hand. It looks at the Far East with greedy eyes! Like a robber, trying to take away the benefits that do not belong to him from the hands of all countries, for this crime They spent more than ten years honing their weapons. In the coming war, Russia, Germany and any Far Eastern country will be the victims! Should we ignore the actions of our opponents? Is it because there is a huge figure behind that barbaric robber that hesitates? No! Absolutely not! We must defend our rights with blood and fire!"

"Damn, so NB? Although there are no British people present, is it really okay for you to say that?" The prince suddenly felt that things were going out of control. Russia and Germany would not reach an agreement on the Far East, right? ? Although it is known that after the Sino-Japanese War of Jiawu in history, there was a three-nation intervention to return to the Liaoning Province, but is it too early?

　　 After this incident happened in history, Russia did not respond so much, so what's the reason? The prince was lost in thought. Soon, the general idea came out. Russia's current external environment is much better than in history! The reinsurance treaty not only reduced the pressure on Germany, but also made Russia's external environment much better!

　　Look at Russia now. The trade and financial ties between Russia and France determine that the relationship between the two countries will not be worse. The renewal of the Russian-German Reinsurance Treaty and the subsequent cessation of the trade war made the two sides become friends. Austria-Hungary did not dare to **** without the support of Germany. So who is Russia's enemy now? I'm afraid it is the UK that hangs alone outside of Europe, right?

　　 The environment is great, we just passed A and won! If it weren’t for Russia’s strength in the Far East, it would not be able to stand up to the table and could not face the British Far East Fleet. I’m afraid the Russian government might actually use the topic to make use of it and directly attack Japan! A letter from William II gave the possibility of further contact between Russia and Germany.

　　 "Your Highness, it's time for us to board the ship." Earl Schelling reminded. The princes and escorts of the two countries have already left first. According to their status, they should be themselves, and the counterpart of him is a historical celebrity-Admiral Andrei Alexander Drovich Popov!

　　 The most classic and sad thing in this buddy’s life is to design a round warship, which has become the most tea table in the history of shipbuilding in the world! Now, as the admiral and the former commander of the Far East Fleet, he is the highest representative of Russia besides the Russian crown prince.

　　 "His Royal Highness, please first please." Popov stood up and said first. The prince nodded. After all, his prince's sign is still very bluff, the future king! And the moment he got up, he saw someone who was in conflict with him just now!

　　 "Oh, no wonder he is familiar, isn't this guy Makanov, who has appeared in many PDFs? The unlucky buddy who was solved by a mine by the Japanese Navy!" The prince finally remembered the identity of the other party. At the same time, Makanov felt his heart beating violently when the opponent was watching! Catch up with the three-expansion vertical steam engine moving at full speed!

　　 "Forget it, don't trouble that guy." The trouble of being a prince looking for a major general is indeed a bit priceless. The prince glanced at the other party and boarded the new armored cruiser under the guidance of the guide~www.readwn.com~ I have to say that looking at the photos is a feeling, standing at the dock is a feeling, and after boarding the battleship, Stepping on the heavy teak deck, touching the thick and long 280MML40 artillery, looking at the tall mast. It is another feeling. Although the Munich is not big, it still shocked Ruprecht, who was on a large battleship for the first time.

　　 "His Royal Highness, please go here." The visitor said respectfully.

　　 "Hmm." The prince nodded and walked past the officer, but he turned his head suddenly after not two steps! It feels a bit like a Bavarian accent!

　　 "Are you from Bavarian?" The traveler asked calmly.

　　 "Yes, my hometown is Wilhelm. My family is a winemaking family with a long history. Part of the wine in your palace comes from my family." The officer's attitude was even humble.

　　 "It turned out to be my own person, then I can consider promotion if I have a chance." The traveler suddenly became interested. Well, promotion also has to follow the curve, at least I don't have this right, so please ask Tirpitz. By the way, where did Tirpitz go? Didn't see him!

　　 The prince intends to ask what Tirpitz is doing forever. According to his status, he should be ranked fourth or fifth. What about the current person? But soon, the prince was no longer looking for Tirpitz!
