The Rise of the Empire

"The future of the German Empire lies at sea! We have proved the strength of the German Empire on land with blood and fire! In the future, warriors of the German Navy, you must become the swords in the hands of the Empire and open up land for the Empire. ......." At the Kiel Naval Base in Germany, Wilhelm II personally saw off the fleet that was about to go abroad. \u003c/p\u003eAt this moment, in the Kiel Naval Base, the elite of the German Navy are gathered! In addition to the third ship of the Mainz-class armored cruiser Luen, which is undergoing sea trials in the North Sea, and the Mainz-class armored cruiser Köln, which is being prepared in the dock, there are 3 remaining Kaiser-Friedrich III-class battleships, 2 Brandenburg-class battleships, 2 Mainz-class armored cruisers and 3 Munich-class armored cruisers are all concentrated here.\u003c/p\u003eWilliam II took the new flagship of the German High Seas Fleet—Kaiser Karl der Grosse as a In the background, on the left side of the podium are German fleet executives headed by Admiral von Pohl, commander of the German High Seas Fleet, while on the right side are naval civilian officials headed by Tirpitz, and Prince Ruprecht Not in it. \u003c/p\u003e It's not that the prince's status is not enough to find a seat in it, but because, at this moment, the prince is meeting with the US Navy personnel who came to contact him in an office not far away. And the people who came this time are also old friends of the prince, the new Commodore of the US Navy Ma Jifen, and Colonel Benson, the US military attache in Germany. \u003c/p\u003e"Your country's fleet is really well-accumulated!" Magiffen looked out from the window, three Kaiser Frederick III-class battleships lined up, and two Brandenburg ships a little farther away Class battleship, the former can be regarded as an upgraded version of the latter, with three huge turrets arranged on the center line. The slightly slender hull, the huge turret and the brief shape give people a refreshing feeling. Leaving aside the combat effectiveness, this is almost the most beautiful warship Magiffin has ever seen in terms of appearance alone! \u003c/p\u003eOn the other side of the port, there are 2 Mainz-class armored cruisers and 3 Munich-class armored cruisers moored. The latter can be regarded as the beginning of the prosperity of the German Navy. The emergence of the Munich-class armored cruiser not only allowed Germany to have the world's first-class warships, but also because of what could be called unexpected battles, the German Navy tasted The taste of victory! \u003c/p\u003e After that, the Germans, who realized that the navy can bring huge benefits, and realized that we are strong, began to pay more and more attention to their navy! And the motivated Germans began to rapidly expand their naval forces! The Americans also took a similar path, but it is a pity that in the Far East, the Americans were blocked by emerging regional powers and ancient empires and fell into the sand. So what did the Germans do this time? \u003c/p\u003e"Germany and the United States are to some extent a kind of country, and both are newly rising countries. Our actions to seek interests in the Far East have failed, so how does your country view further expansion in Africa? ? Has Your Highness considered some bad results?" Ma Jifen asked after looking away from the distant battleship. \u003c/p\u003e "There will be bad consequences, but we can't give up because of choking. The country that is most likely to interfere is now overwhelmed. And other big countries are indifferent to this matter. I don't think anyone will risk a war with Germany to maintain a small country. said the prince with a smile. \u003c/p\u003e"Is this the law of the jungle?" Ma Jifen still had some resistance to such a straightforward statement. \u003c/p\u003e"In this era, who didn't use blood and fire to open the way when they rose up, and succeeded by stepping on the opponent's corpse? The same is true for your country, but it failed." The prince said calmly. \u003c/p\u003e"If you fail, you can do it again. We have once again challenged the old order of the world. This time, the two countries will walk side by side!" Said.

\u003c/p\u003e "Cheers to our upcoming cooperation!" The prince said after pouring a glass of wine for the two American guests. Magiffen and others came to Germany on the grounds of a visit and negotiated with the top German navy on bilateral cooperation. And officially issued an invitation letter inviting the German fleet to the United States to confuse other countries. \u003c/p\u003eAt the same time, in order to express the sincerity of the German side, the German Navy allowed the US military officer corps to visit a series of naval infrastructure including Kiel Naval Port, Brom-Fors Shipyard, and Kiel Naval Academy, and expressed their willingness Admission of US Navy officers to Germany for further study. \u003c/p\u003e After this series of events is over, the U.S. Navy delegation headed by Magiffin will board the German warship to take charge of the liaison work and be responsible for the subsequent actions of the U.S. fleet in Africa. What surprised the prince was that this time the Americans took the initiative for the first time, expressing their willingness to use American ships to transport German fighters if necessary! As a report, the prince expressed his willingness to promote the establishment of a long-term liaison mechanism between the navies of the two countries! \u003c/p\u003e "It seems that the speech of His Majesty the Emperor is over." The cheers outside the window once again attracted the attention of the three people. As the German naval officers and soldiers chanted Long Live His Majesty the Emperor, Wilhelm II waved to the audience Greetings from officers and soldiers. Subsequently, under the leadership of the fleet commander Earl Spey, the personnel of the four warships began to board the ship. For the first time, U.S. Navy personnel who participated in the ceremony boarded these powerful warships. \u003c/p\u003e "Let's go, let's visit this fleet together. It is very lucky to be able to visit all the first-line capital ships of Germany at one time. These warships are the spears, swords and daggers of the Imperial Navy! Together they constitute the Imperial Navy The maritime power system." The prince said with a smile. \u003c/p\u003e"Your description is very appropriate. The Kaiser Friedrich III-class battleship is the spear of the Imperial Navy. The target of this spear is the main fleet of the enemy country. The Mainz-class armored cruiser is a sharp sword. It is lower, but the advantage lies in its speed and agility. The former main Munich-type armored cruiser undertakes tasks such as breaching diplomatic relations and covering at sea. Although its strength is relatively weak, it can pose a fatal threat to the opponent's weakness." Ma Jifen said after a moment of contemplation . \u003c/p\u003e"I have to say that your country's naval construction plan is very good, and the warships designed and built are even more excellent. If it is convenient, can you tell us what guidelines the US Navy should follow in its construction? Facing the severe external environment , How should the U.S. fleet protect the interests of the United States overseas." Magiffen pleaded. \u003c/p\u003e "Hehe, remember to ask me at this time?" the prince said in his heart. However, for the Americans who are already quasi-allies at this time, in order to better trouble the Japanese and the British, the prince is still willing to mention the Americans who are a little dizzy after being beaten at this time. \u003c/p\u003eThanks to book friends First Tank Guards Brigade, Slowly Youk, bighill1982's \u003c/a\u003e~~~, and book friends Lonely ぁ Heart Wandering, Xiaofeng Hanyue's \u003c/a\u003e support~~ ~!
